PROTECTS STANDARD OIL.

PROTECTS SThNOhHO OlL.
After the spectacular effect of fin
ing the STANDARD oil Trust nearly thir-
| ~ millions Of dollars has subsided 1t
may be well TO investigate what ad-
vantage the public will gain even II
the trust eventually has to pay the
! full amount John ID. Rockefeller is
reported to have said that: Judge
Lands will be dead long while be.
for this fine is paid In fact things
will happen before that But sup
pose the chief trust magnate Is not
good prophet and in the course of
year the Circuit and Supreme Court
decide that the enormous fine Is le.
gal and must be paid. Where Will
the money come from, hut from the
profits on oil, and 1t is not quite
probable that cent or two a gallon
will be charged the public, so that the
trusts stockholders can still be paid
their 80 per cent dividend.
The object OF trust busting is to re
produce competition which the trusts
have nearly eliminated. Competition
brings down the price of products to
natural level according to supply
and demand, while trusts through
monopoly create an artificial price.
Filming trusts for receiving rebates,
as i'm the STANDARD Oil cases will not
reduce prices. but If our trust busting
republican friends really mean busl.
ness they can when Congress meets
very quickly produce competition In
all trust products by abolishing the
tariff duty which protects them. The
republican leaders have been CON
stanty pointing out to those
not conycrsant with the tar
.iff law that all petroleum pro-
duets are on the free list That Is true.
But at the same time they know. or
should know. that there is reciproci'
ty Joker In the tariff pack which they
all voted for. which effectually pro-
tects the Standard Oil trust from
competition from abroad. This proviso
which Is part of paragraph GIG which
places petroleum, crude or refined
/ ON the free list. also stipulates tha'
ON petroleum or its products pro
duced in any foreign country there
shall he collected. when such goods
are imported a duty equal to the duty
| imposed by such country. AS Russia
and other important oil-producihi
countries levy duties on kerosene aV
eraging about 100 per cent 1t follows
that the Standard Oil company Is one
of our most highly protected trusts
The custom officials hold that the
rates of duty TO be assessed are not
those levied by the country IRON
which the refined products may he
imported. but those levied by the
country which produces the petroleum
from which the imported products
were made.
That the trust Is enormously pro
tcctcd by this tariff provision is evi
dent from the difference in price as
quoted in the New York Journal "l

price in bulk being cents a gallon

INJUSTICE TO THE MINISTRY.

There have been recently several
instances of lapses in moral conduct
and gross improprieties on the part
of ministers of the gospel in different
parts of the United States. and in
some instances their acts amounted
to grave crimes.
This is. of course. greatly to be de-
plored from every point Of view, but
is especially rcgrettable because 1t
affords scoffers and enemies of the
church an opportunity to use few in
stances AS a text to assail breaches
generally.
Every time some man wearing the
garb of a clergyman. and into whose
hands has been committed the high
commission OF a preacher OF the Cos
pei. falls before temptation and prov
es unworthy of his high calling, many
newspapers herald the fact abroad in
flare lines and work It over in divers
shapes as an enjoyable and almost
cxhaustloss news item. Many news
papers have a class of readers 10
whom such an item Is a most delici-
Gus morscl. and by reason Of that fact
human weakness and sin are used
as means to make money
II is the man who. though guilty,
escapes punishment whose case Is re-
mcmbcrod and made the text to as.
sail the law and courts, while the
hundreds who, convicted. fill prison
cells are out Of sight and forgotten.
So when one preacher goes wrong
and falls from his high estate he and
his misdcods are kept In the public
eye. while thousands and ten OF thous.
auds of faithful, clean, Jealous, God.
fearing preachers who mumhly walk
year in and year out in the paths
of righteousness are not thought OF.
Consecration to the work of min
lister never made man any more
than "a man No ceremony or laying

South American Oil Birds.

In certain restricted parts of north
ern and western South America occurs
what is known as the guacharo or oil
bird. One of the best known haunts of
the guacharo is the island of Monos,
off Trinidad, and here the bird breeds
In the rocky caves. On the mainland
IL also inhabits caves, on the lodges of
which it constructs a curious circular
nest OF mud and lays four white eggs.
Emerging from their recesses in the
twilight, the guacharos fly around the
nectandra trees and in fall career
snatch the fruit from the boughs. The
name Of oil bird is given because the
nestlings become prodigiously fat At
the season when the young are Matched
the natives take mum bers. Of the young,
melt their fat IN clay pots and call the
result ''guacharo butter" The caves
which contain the oil birds nests are
IN some places accessible only from the
sea, and to reach them is often mat
ter of difficulty and danger. In some
OF the caves in the Peruvian mountains
the nests are placed at height of fifty
or sixty feet, and the procuring of the
young by the Indians is a matter Of
much risk. 1t is usual to scare the
birds off the nests by firing a gun
