THAT ICE FAMINE-How MADE

A REPORT on the ice industry of Rhode Is
n land made by Commissioner Webb OF the
Bureau of Statistics throws some interesting light
on The operations of the ice trust. The commits
soner declares that the ice industry Of Maine has
decreased from an average annual cut prior to
1000 of nearly 100000 tons to fewer than 5oo,-
600 tons
The explanation given for the curtailing OF the
production and the immense falling off in the
harvest is that it is due to the alleged control OF
the American Ice Company OF New York, known
as the ice trust The report says that many of
the privileges secured by the ice trust have not
been operated and had the ice houses in Maine
been filed the crop last year would easily have
reached 100000 tons The report OF the Rhode
Island agent who investigated, intimates that the
cutting OF ice was deliberately curtaed by the
trust in order to force UP the price OF that COM
modify in the Northern States
How we'll the trust carried out its intention all
the readers Of the papers know. This report
proves that the ice trusts explanation OF the
shortage and famine was fraud and a sham 1t
was self-created shortage in order that the
trust could squeeze the people and eXtort their
money from the suffering that the shortage of
ice would cause.
The ice trust simply carries out the methods
and practices in vogue of other trusts Their
whole scheme is to curtail production throw men
out of work. lessen the supply of things and en-
hanee prices. 1t is a policy in direct violation
OF sound principles. The object of production is
TO make commodities plentiful and TO cheaper
their value. The more goods produced, and the
cheaper they are, the more the people can have
for their enjoyment
Defenders OF the trusts formerly argued that
they were good thing because by combination,
expense was saved and more goods were pro-
duced at lower cost The people therefore
would be benefited But this contention has fall
len to pieces. The trusts are simply organza-
tions and combines designed to gouge the con-
sumers. In the olden times had the captains of
these trusts lived, they would have been leaders
OF gangs OF bandits preying upon travelling and
robbng peaceable citizens. They show the spirit
OF the robber baron of old. They have the ethics
OF the hghwayman and the conscience OF the
mouse

BOSS cox IN EVIDENCE.

T ESSONS are difficult for some political
IL bosses TO learn. 1t was supposed that at
the last election Boss Cox, of Cincinnati had re-
ceved a crushing blow He announced that he
had retired from politics for good Now it seems
that he is to have another fling at the game and
the battle against him will have TO be waged all
over again.
In connection with Cox and his methods two
reputable judges Of Cincinnati were compelled to
tell some things last autumn that made anything
but pleasant reading One OF them incurred the
mortal enmity of Cox 1t was a revelation OF
how Cox had attempted to tamper with the bench
and secure judicial decision in favor OF some
Of his grating schemes. One judge did favor
Cox and he is to be rewarded with a nomination,
while the Judge that exposed the corruption is
rejected.
The people will have something to say in the
matter and they will doubtless make every effort
TO thwart the movement OF the Boss to make the
judiciary of a large city subservient to his wishes.
Usually the bench is the last place to be as
saulted by the INSCRIPTIONS bosses, but Cox evil
IDENTIFY believes that the indignation against him
and his methods, has died out.

KENT AND SUSSEX IN THE LEAD.

IT HAT the sentiment in the Republican party
Z is strongly, yes overwhelmingly in favor
OF harmony,-one primary, one convention, one
ticket and one party-is shown by the fact that
the anti-harmony convention ordered bv 7. Ed
ward Addicks a few weeks ago to be held at
Dover to-day, will not take place The rank and
file Of the Union Republican organization in Kent
and Sussex arrayed themselves on the side of
party harmony and there they have remained as
solid as a rock. The mandate OF Mr. Addicks,
once so powerful, that the Union Republicans
throughout the State assemble in a convention
hostile to harmony, met with absolutely no re-
sponse, at least in Kent and Sussex where here
toforc Addicks had his strength and following
The Union Republican party had declared for
harmony, then Mr.. Addicks, after agreeing to the
harmony plan, suddenly and without cause
turns against it and orders his friends and fol-
lowers to do the same. It.was at this point that
the thousands OF men in Kent and Sussex had to
decide, first, whether they were Union Republ.-
cans, or mere blind followers of Addicks. and
second, whether they desire allegiance with the
great Republican party to be political servants
Of Addicks. The fate OF the party depended on
their decision. It has been rendered. and as a
result no anti-harmony State convention is being
held in Dover to-day. We take off our hat TO
the thousands of Union Republicans of Kent and
Sussex. Their action has been both an example
and inspiration. In the movement for peace
and harmony they are in the lead, and their ranks
are unbroken. We OF New Castle must cheer
lhem we follow behind them Bravo. Kent

Edgar r. Smith. vice provost of the

CAUSES OF HAY FEVER

Of Climate in Your Own Home.
With the coming Of August many peo.
PIE suffer with storms Of sneezing, run
ming Of the eyes and nose and stuffed
up feeling in the head.
The direct cause Of this so-called hay
fever appears to be heat, dust and the
pollen OF flowers. Although the disease
may occur at any season OF the year, u
is most common and severe in August and
September. and a preventive treatment
should be adopted at least a couple ot
weeks before the disease is due.
Before the discovery Of the remai k
able effects from the use of Hyomei, the
only relief for the hay fever sufferer was
in change of climate. but the use OF Hyo-
mel enables any one to breathe air At
home which is like that Of the Adiron-
dacks, the White Mountains OF other
health resorts whore healing balsams IN
the air with germ desiroyers.
Those who are subject 10 hay fever
should begin using liyomoi az once and
prevent the disease, or II the disease is
present now. breathe Hyomei six or seven
times daily and also rub Hyomei Balm
thoroughly into the nose both morning
and night This viii relieve at once and

DOUBLE SLAP AT BRYAN.

THE Illinois Democrats say they like Bryan

the party for President
Their love of Bryan is not so ardent, however
as would lead them to obey the wishes Of the

Committeeman from that State is to be retained
in his position. Bryan wants him ousted. Unless
the convention Of the Democrats deposed Sui
Ivan, Bryan let it be known that he did not care
for the endorsement Of the Illinois Democrats.
The latter disregarded Bryan's wishes in both
instances. 1t may be suspected that Hearst in
nucnces had something to do with that. Hearst

A PIECE OF

Mistake Was Made in Build

"A piece of bad engineering" was the
remark made by Water Commissioners
Shaw in discussing the city sewer which
runs from this city to Rattlesnake Run
along the Brandywine. This sewer hag
been giving considerable trouble lately
because being too small for the demands
made on it it has been leaking badly, .he

head gates. the intake for the city's wa.er

The cost Of the sewer was more chan

time it has outgrown the demands made
on it. Now # will either have 10 be on-

The sewer is in particularly bad co-dt
ton between Rattlesnake Run and Ban-
croft's Mills. When It was constructed
the Bancrofts had but one mill and now
this firm operates two and as rcsul-.
whenever there is a heavy rain the sewer
is so greatly taxed that the pressu e
causes leaks. That it should have been
constructed large enough in the first
place goes without saying, and if this
had been done. considerable money wsu.d
have been saved.
Should the present condition be alioweo

will suffer thereby. All the escaping

The peace of Cuba at last is disturbed Cuba
evidently must keep pace with some Of the other
Latin American States. 1t has revolt all its
own A collection of the colones and generals
OF the island, probably weary of the placidity of
life there, plotted against President Palma They
have been promptly arrested. The revolt is
abortive, as while there were plenty of leaders,
they did not have many followers. No leader in
politics or in war can accomplish much unless he
has good array of sturdy supporters and fol-
lowers, and they are often an uncertain and pre-
carious quantity.
The prompt action Of the government in
winging the leaders on sight, will add to the
stability of the island and will halt others who
may be inclined to plunge Cuba into state Of
lawlessness and turmoil

/ see announced in your paper that The
milkmen are going 90 advance the prics
OF milk two cents a quart on the first OF
the Month. I do not understand why this
should be done. They claim the price OF
food SIS higher and that the milk is more
scarce than heretofore. This may be true
but I understand the date for advancing
the price Of the milk is one month earlier
than usual and I do not see why the
mlkmcn could not have waited until the
usual time. IL looks TO me like a scheme
to dcfraud the dealers out OF just so
much money. The milkmen have been try
ing an kinds of schemes to get more
money since the city forced them to keep
sanitary stables and their evident intcn-
tion is to make the public pay FOR the
Improvements they had TO make.

Three suicides of depositors have already fol-
lowed the wrecking of the State bank in Chicago.
More will possibly come later, when the unfor-
tunate ones realize how complete has been the
loot. The State the Nation should be made
to guarantee depositors against loss. The State
and the Nation pretend to throw safeguards
around peoples money in such Institutions Then
by their careless or incompetent examiners they
permit banks under, really their direct guardian
ship, to be looted. The protection is a sham so
long as the depositors lose their money. And if
the examiners are so negligent what must be said
OF the directors of such institutions. They ought
to be held strictly accountable for their failure to
perform their duties

Recently l have been reading much
about the pure food law. but I fail to find
anything about eggs In the list Of fcod
stuns. on Saturday last my wife was IN
the King street market and bought two
dozen eggs. Yesterday morning she
boiled four Of them for breakfast and
two Of them were bad. Later she wanted
TO bake cake and when she started 70
beat up the eggs she found genuine
rotten" one. There is no telling how
many more bad ones are I'm the balance
of the two dozen bought from a farmer.
I have heard about canned beef, meal M
pepper and all forms of adulterations In
preserves. 1 have seen premature peaches
In the market but when "a sanity farmer
comes into market and sells rotten eggs
believe the pure food law cannot come
too soon. The people expect 20 get fresh
eggs from the farmers but when they get
the cold storage article and mix the
western eggs with the home product and
deceive the people the law should be en-
forced. / believe that he can be arrested

indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 16.-More
than 1000 delegates representing be-

Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma,
West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and other states filled Tomlinson hall
today at the opening of the annual ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers of America. Today's proceed
ings were confined chiefly to the open
ing formalities, the annual reports of
the officers and the appointment of
committees. The chief work of the
convention Is to formulate wage
scale to be submitted to the operators
at the joint conference to be held in
this city next week. Despite the many
sensational stories circulated during
the past few months it is learned on
good authority that the officers and
executive committee of the organiza-
tion regard the outlook as bright for
an amicable and speedy settlement
with the operators. Just what terms
will be submitted by the miners will
not be known until the wage commit
tee makes its report To the convention.
