gan the consideration of the joint

committee amendments and then pre-
senting reasons for consolidating Ok

The Circus Trust.

The cruel war is over, and the
rival circus octopi are to lie down
together in harmony. The circus
business is no mean enterprise. 1t
takes many millions to organize one
of the huge tented attractions, and
the highest order of business ca
pacity to manage it. Phineas T.
Barnum's genius gave the world the
modern circus, and in connection
Herewith announced his famous
and uncontroverted principle that
the people love TO be humbugged.
In the consolidation that has Just
taken place, it is ANNOUNCED, the
Forepaugh-Sells outfits are sold by
the Bailey heirs to the Ringling
Brothers, who, in alliance with the
Barnum & Bailey concern, lineal
descendant of the original Barnum's
greatest show on earth," become
the trust. The Barnum & Bailey
people control the Buffalo Bill show,
and the Wallace Brothers, who have
been the warning faction for some
seasons, are next year to come in.
Thus is community of interest es-
tablished.
While we are pleased to read that
Standard Oil is to be prosecuted and
put in Jail, and learn with approval
that sundry railroad presidents who
have lately cut off free passes are
being considered for striped suits,
yet we cannot but urge that the
Department of Justice is overlook
ing great opportunity every day
it delays to throw the hooks into
the circus combination. Individual
initiative and opportunity will never
stand the blight of eliminating com
petition We foresee the time when
giants will not be allowed to grow
above nine feet tall, when bearded
ladies will be required to shave at
intervals in order to maintain some
thing Like uniformity, and when the

salaries of $4,000 beauties viii be
reduced TO $4,000.
Already there has been damning
evidence of the fell intent to cut
off the heritage of the splendid
free triumphaI parade through the
streets of our beautiful city at 1O:3o,
followed Immediately by a grand
free exhibition at the circus
grounds" Some of the circuses
have done away with the free pa
rade, and we have read, hoping the
while against hope that it might
not be true. that the 'courtesies"
traditionally extended the editor,
the town council, county officers,
and other influential citizens, are be-
ing put on a cash basis. Elephants
that do not drink, and for which
consequently there will be no op-
portunity to carry water. viii come
next; and it is intimated that the
red lemonade is to be bleached.
By the memory of the pristine
glories of king Cole" of The Only
Barnum," of 'The Mighty Fore
paugh," "The Unequaled Sells" of
! Van Amburgh's, and "Howe's Great
London Show" and the Ringlings,
the WaIlaces, and the Baileys of the
simple, unsyndicated days, we APP
peal to the law department of the
nation to hop to this circus trust
and smash it into impalpable little
smithereens before it is everlast-
ingly too late. There are some i'm
positions that even the patience of
the American people will not stand.
