TRIMMINGS FOR SAILORS.
No Time for Trlfles

A chic way of trimming a sailor hat il
to use both the cachepeigne OF ribbon
loops and the rosette. Take a little sailor
for Its trimming delicate gray wing;
fasten the wing to the right side Of the
crown with two fat rosettes of white
maline. edged with a narrow little plait
ing Of silver ribbon. The wing should be
caught between the rosettes. Now. TO
give the hat the character 1t needs. add
a beauty touch OF many loops Of black
velvet ribbon at the back. Another smart
combination OF color to use In a hat Of
this sort Is 10 have the hat itself cream
color, the wing white and the rosette
white, edged with little plating of gold
ribbon. Then instead OF using black
velvet ribbon for the cachepeigne have
the velvet loops In golden brown.

AN ACCOMPLISHED MERGER.

One of the two banking mergers which the
News-Democrat announced recently as under way
has been consummated The Manufacturers Trust
company has been absorbed by Marsden ]. Perry's
Union Trust company, and its eleven or twelve mil
lions of dollars of deposits have been turned over
10 the Perry corporation without either the con-
sent the knowledge of the depositors.
This is rather cavalier proceeding no doubt
hnd is so regarded by many of the absorbed trust
Eompanys depositors, but that will not trouble in
khe slightest measure the man whose audacious
hnd skifu manipulation has put another banking
pnstituton out of business and turned dozen mil
lions in deposits into the vaults of the company he
kontrols.
Now that the truth of the rumor that the Man
nfacturers Trust was about to be taken bodily
by the Union Trust has been established by the
accomplishment of the absorption, the business
Nommunity is awaiting with unmistakabe anxiety
and extreme perturbation to discover whether that
other rumor, which declares the next banking
merger will be that of the Industrial and Union
Trust companies, has an equally solid foundation
IN truth
That it has, acquainted with Marsden ].
Perry and Colonel Samuel P Colt, and who realize
the vaulting and unrestrained ambition that
prompts their action, is disposed to deny.
What could tend to crafty more fully their
unsuitable greed for power than the control of a
gigantic trust company, with sixty or seventy mil
lions of deposits at their command?
They realize fully the tremendous power such
y combination would give, not only over the fnan-
ria situation in Rhode Island but over its political
affairs and its industrial interests
Such Capitalization of the money power of
whole state in the hands of any two or three men,
however prudent, capable and upright they might
be, would be viewed by all citizens of sound and
sane Judgment as the limit of unwsdom and the
acme of folly
If such crushing power is to be exercised by a
small coterie OF men, guided only by an unconhned
and boundless ambition to secure financial mas
xery, political command and social distinction, will
any intelligent Rhode Islander contend that great
and onlinous peril will not confront the people?
Ambition rightly directed and properly con-
trolled is praseworthy; but when it seeks domina-
tion over the government, the financial resources
hnd the industrial enterprises of entire COM
monwealth it should be sternly checked by the
people whose freedom it would abrdge and whose
rights it would usurp.
The best safeguard against this menace is a
general assembly representative OF the people-an
assembly that will by effective legislation render
such concentration of the money power as is now
contemplated impossible of accomplishment
On November 6 next Just that sort of egisla-
ture will be elected, and the Aldrich- Perry Colt
triumvirate will discover to its discontinue that
with all its money and with Brayton's management
TO aid, it cannot buy the sovereign state of Rhode
Island.

lessly behind the times.
