THE Philadelphia papers are complain
ing that because the Wholesale dealers IN
meats desire to strengthen the market, -
in compliance with orders from the trust,
consumers in that city must pay one OF
two cents more than they have been pay
ing, the wholesale prices having been
advanced a halfcent a pound. 1t is ad-
mitted that the supply of beef, veal and
mutton is ample, but receivers OF sup
plies from the big western packers declare
they must get better prices or lose money.
The demands of the western packers are
outrageous but will continue so long as the
beef trust lasts. Last year this trust, as
shown by the figures of its business,
bought its cattle for less than in previous
years and sold its beef for more, while it
reduced the wages it paid.

Mr.. THOMAS w. LAWSON Wldens the
scooe of his war upon the Standard Oil
Company in his last article on "Frenzled
Finance" by attacking two of j. Pier
pont Morgan's gigantic creations, the
steel trust and the steamship trust. de
also assails the sugar trust, the creation
Of the Havemeyers, and the tobacco
trust. in which Thomas F. Ryan IS one
of the dominant factors. He includes
these as well as Amalgamated Copper
and other strictly Standard OH proper
ties. in what he calls 1.-The System"
aud in comparing the latter with the
Louisiana lottery, he declares :
Between the two the difference is in
favor of the Louisiana lottery, for both
are CANDLES, and the lottery game was
square. In the height of its prosperity
the Louisiana lottery only took from the
people paltry ten or twenty million
dollars a year, while today there is
single group of banks, trust companies,
corporations and trusts which take from
the people by might, by trick and by
theft. hundreds of millions each year and
there are scores of such groups. The
sugar trust has been the instrument OF
gathering in one year hundred mil
lions of the peoples savings and the
steel trust alone has robbed the people OF
over five hundred millions OF dollars In
a single twelve months.

Do Not suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom ofsome disease,
and the disease is what you shoAld cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
INSTRUCTED the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat,
It also opens the secretions and effec.
tually aud permanently cures the cold as
we'll as the cough. For sale by Gibson

ONE OF the most novel suits ever
brought in Westchester county, New
York, came up in the Supreme Court at
White Plains yesterday. The complain
ant is suing a druggists firm of Utica,
to recover $50, 900 damages from the
firm for alienation Of his wife's afec'
tons and loss of her ser Sices by reason
of their having sold to her continuously
for six years prior to January l, 1908,
large quantities of morphine. The
promiscuous sale of poisonous drugs IS
one of the evils of the day and in many
cases results in the wrecking of lives and
the impovsrishment of families. If men
were held to a stvicter account for the
sale of such drugs much good would re-

SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. q. 1905

T1R SOCIALISTS of Europe, as mas
often been suggested, have watched many
wears for the appearance of hobby.
Tbev have kept their eyes recently up
an the laboring classes, and indirectly
have aided materially in fomensing the
s,rifes which are now shaking the ioun-
dations of the bureaucracy Of Russia and
menacing the peace of Germany. Chan
csllor von Buelow in the German Reich
stag Yesterday, while referring to the
nresent unsettled conditions in his cour-
try aroused energetic protests from tie
socialist members by asserting that trade
unions in Germany had not sprung from
economic but. from political motives. he
said it was necessary that the LABOR
movement should be divorced from party
politics. He alleged that the SOCIALISTS
we're using the strike merely as means
or fomenting hate and intensifying class
warfare in the interests of the party.
The times are not ripe for such fusion
in the United States, but that they are
heading up in that direction is apparent
TO many. Russia is now the storm CEN
ire while clouds of greater dimensions
Than a mans hand are visible from the
sea and waves which are now surging Id
Germany and elsewhere. There is every
reason TO believe that nihillstS and So
cialists are taking advantage OF present
conditions in Russia to break up the
government of the Gar, and they may
possibly succeed, in which event prairie
fire of red republication may spread over
Europe. There is no positive assurance
that it will not cross the Atlantic.

Lessons Taught by the Fire.

Last weeks fire served to bring
out several important lessons to
San Angelo people. And if we
but profit by them we are en-
dowed with the wisdom of the
successful spirit of the twentieth
century. If we fail to be taught
by them We are blind and need
enllghtment.
Among the things We should
learn is that it is dangerous to
have such buildings within the
fire limits, dangerous to the
owners of adjacent property and
dangerous to the best interests of
the whole city. It is sincerely
hoped that the city council will
not allow any more such build
ings erected within the fire
limits.
Another lesson is that oil,
gasoline, dynamite and ether
such combustibles, when kept
within the fire limits in large
quantities should be stored in
underground tanks. This lesson
was more forcibly taught i'll the
case of the Landon fire, two and
u half years ago, when Copeland
e. Mitchell had large quantities
of inflamables stored under
ground and which were covered
with burning debris but were
never ignlted.
These are not mere sentiments.
They are questions of Importance
which we do not think about
until we are confronted with dis
aster and when it is too late to
apply the remedy. The entire
business section of San Angelo is,
on the occasion of n fire like that
of last week, placed in a hazard
Gus position by the conditions
above referred to and some action
should be taken by the city coun-
Gil to protect the property owner
who has care for the welfare of
his neighbor.
