Carnegie on Trusts.

The appearance of Andrew Car
negie as the defender of the people
against trusts is the most pictur-
esque instance of reformed pira
cy" which America has yet produc-
ed. When the source of Mr.. Car
negie's millions is remembered, and
when it is recalled that it is the in
terest on the bonds of the United
States Steel Corporation, and in
some cases the bonds themselves,
which he is industriously distribut-
ing for the building of Libraries. for
the promotion of scientific research,
for the reward of heroism and for
the pensioning of educators, the
stupendous character of his conver-
sion will be apparent.
When Mr.. Carnegie says that the
trusts and the Steel Corporation
is one of the closest limitations OF
that institution which America fur
nishes-"rob community of its
right to competition, disguise it as
we may" he makes a confession
that should fill the heart of trust
busters with boundless joy. 1t was
doubtless made in lively recollection
of the practice of the Steel Corpo-
ration to exact from the public $2S
ton for steel rails that cost from
$I2 to $Ih, and one can only con-
clude that Mr.. Carnegie will next
appear in the role of an advocate of
the removal of the tariff which has
made such extortions possible.

No Bryan Endorsement.
Delegates TO Denver Will Go to Convention
Unins,ru lted.

State Chairman George NJ. Dim
cling, of Clearfeld, and Secretary
P. Gray Meek, were at state Dem
ocratic headquarters last week ar
ranging for the listing of the dele
gates to the state Democratic con-
vention to be held in Harrisburg on
May goth. 1t is too early to make
any predictions about the Bryan
sentiment. Of course the state
convention will have nothing to do
with the national delegates except
the four selected at large and the
impression is that there will be no
declaration for the Nebraskan un
less by the date of the convention
it appears that he is certain to be
the nominee. Many of the most
prominent Democrats in the state
are opposed to Bryan's nomination
and will only accept him in case it is
shown that he has some chance of
election, which is now regarded as
remote.

also waits upon the opening of that
great highway, and upon the awak-
ening of our aggressive but not
war-like sea power.
Commercial, not imperial expan-
sion, is the bright purpose and pros
pect to be set before us. 1t fills the
Far Western sky with no grim war
clouds, but with the golden glow of
sunset over vast fields of grain,
enough and to spare to save from
frequent famine the millions of all
Asia over fleets freighted for the
ends of the earth with American
manufactures and bringing back to
us the welcome products of other
lands, tribute fairly paid, with
good will, to enterprise and in
dustry.
And the first step is not to the
building of more colossal navy, but
to the reform of our absurd and
obsolete trust-protecling tariff.

The Turning Point of Imperialism.

The over whelming defeat of the
presidents pet project for the auth
orization of four great battleships,
at total cost of some forty millions
of dollars, may be accepted as the
first effective sign of a revulsion Of
public opinion against imperial ex-
pansion. That is, warlike expan-
sion, with the big stick fercely dis
played, as against commercial ex-
pansion, with the big stick kept
modestly and inoffensively in the
background for display and use
only as occasion offers. 1t is now
evident that the president counted
upon the general satisfaction fol-
lowing the brilliant cruise of the
battleships fleet to carry through
his plan Of rapid naval expansion in
support of the big stick idea, but
there is cause for congratulation
that pride in our war power has
been properly limited by a common
sense view of its reasonable limita-
ticns.
Three chief reasons advanced in
the debate in Congress for the pro-
posed wholesale investment in bat
tleships were the defense of the
Philippines, the defense of the
Panama canal and the confronting
Of Japan with overwhelming sea
power for the protection of our
Pacific commerce, and particularly
of the "open door, cf Asiatic
trade.
AS for the canal, it was first urg-
ed by President Roosevelt himself
for the sake OF the navy because it
would make possible the quick and
safe transfer of a war fleet from
ocean to ocean. 1t is rather con-
fusing that the canal is now point
ed to as a reason for a great navy.
Do we need the canal for the navy.
or the navy for the canal?
With regard to Pacific and Ash
attic commerce, and the fear Of its
menace by Japan as we have as yet
hardly trace of such commerce in
our own ships, and as the growing
volume of our freight carried in
merchant ships Of other nations is
of value also to the merchant fleets
of Japan, there would seem to be
no cause for uneasiness. save as
there may develop predicted
mastery of Chinese trade by Japan,
or a generally arrogant and ag-
gressive policy on the part of that
country. In spite of the fearful
warnings uttered by Representative
Hobson, such dangers seem far
away, and not at all appalling.
All of the conditions point to the
urgency of preparation for CONNER
cial and not imperial expansion
Our productive capacity has out
grown the home market. Our
enterprise Graves worldwide COM
mercial activity. Our great canal
at Panama will give us commercial
opportunities of which we should
be prepared to take advantage, and

JOHN G. McHENRY'S OFFICIAL
LABOR.

AS the first session of the Six
teenth Congress draws toward a
close the people OF this district have
abundant reason to feel proud of
the achievements of our Represent
ative in the House, Hon John G..
McHenry. Modestyis becoming in
new member of Congress and Mr..
McHenry was sufficiently modest to
get the approval of his more ex-
perienced colleagues. But he didn t
allow false modesty to interfere
with the full discharge of his obli-
cations to his constituency. In
other words he was assertive
enough to take care of his duties
and modest enough to avoid the
unfrlendly resentment whic h
freshness" almost necessarily in
vokes.
Mr.. McHenry suggested good
deal of the legislation which was
enacted during the session and in
troduced more legislation than most
new members initiate. His finan-
cial bills were really the foundation
of both the Aldrich and Fowler
bills, though neither of these fol-
lowed the lines to the purposes,
which he indicated. For aexample
his emergency currency bill pro-
vided for the issue of the currency
by the government while Aldrich
proposed that it be issued by the
banks. Mr.. McHenry's object was
to relieve the people in times of
stress and Aldrich's to invest the
banks with new sources of revenue
and power. On the other hand his
bill to guarantee deposits provided
for direct transaction between the
government and banks while Fow-
ler's scheme created lot of expen-
sive official machinery.

Mr.. McHenry's bill creating a Bu-
reau of Mines and Mining was like.

fusal. He openly declared that he would go that night, and accordingly Deer slayer padded him ashore as soon as darkness fell. When he returned to the ark he found Judith awake and waiting for him.
 She insisted on searching through the chest again in the hope of finding some thing that might tempt the Iroquois to accept it as ransom for the young hun ter. Deerslayer humored her. though he knew too well that the Iroquois, angry because they had failed to induce him to enter their tribe, would not forego tor turing him for any bribe that could be offered.
 To Judith's bitter disappointment, the chest failed to yield anything except bundle of letters. Under any other cir cumstances these would have proved of overwhelming interest to her, for they disclosed to her the fact that Hutter had not been the father of herself and Hetty, but had been a fugitive hunted by the British government for piracy on the high seas He had married the girls mother only after she had been deserted by. their high-born, but unnamed father, and had taken her to the wilderness where she was as glad to hide herself as he was.
 Seeing that no hope of ransom re- mained, Judith besought Deerslayer not to return to the 1roquoiS. She confessed her love for him, and urged that no consideration of honor could go so far as to compel a man to submit volunta- rily to such frightful tortures as the Iroquois were certain to inflict Deer slayer, however was firm. and Chin gachgook sadly but sternly upheld him.
 Accordingly Deerslayer walked into the Iroquois camp next day at noon as quiet ly as if he had come on a visit to friends. When he delivered the answers of Chin gachgook and the three girls there came a movement of angry excitement among the warriors; and when. in addition, he again refused for his own part to join the tribe and marry squaw the brother of the tilted woman hurled a tomahawk at his head.
 Deerslayer did not move head or body, but his arm shot out like lightning. He caught the weapon by the whirling han dle and hurled it back, striking the h. dian full in the forehead and killing him instantly.
 Even as the savage fell Deerslayef darted away as swiftly as stag. Before the Indians could yell he had gained the woods. None of the Iroquois could out rim him. and for a time he managed to elude them. He even managed to gain the shore at last by a roundabout way and to get possession of a canoe, his only hone of safety. But then the superior number of his pursuers told, and in the

 A fearful yell burst from the lroquois. It was answered by a laundering English cheer. and ere the Iroquois could move the scarlet uniforms of British soldiers came down from all directions in fu- rlous bayonet charge that overwhelmed them in hopeless, helpless defeat.
 Few of the soldiers were wounded: but Hetty who had followed Judith into the camp, had been hit by stray bullet and died before the little army returned to the settlement.
 It was 15 years afterward before Deer ! slayer again saw Lake Otsego. He had his friend Chingachgook were hastening to the forts to join the colonists on the eve of another and still more important war A stripling accompanied them Chingachgook' $ son-on his first warpath.
 Hist lay buried under the pines on the Delaware, and Chingachgook sadly point ed out to the lad the scenes of his youth full love story They padded over the spot where Hetty and her mother and Hutter lay. The castle still stood but was fast falling into decay The ark was stranded and rotting.
 In it's cabin Deerslayer found a ribbon that he recognized as having belonged to Judith. He picked it up gently and caressingly and tied it to his rife.
 He made his way to the Mohawk with melancholy feelings. His inquiries after Judith had been ineffective. He had only been able to learn that one Of the British officers, who had long known the girl had suddenly retired from the ser vice after the fight in the wilderness and was living in his paternal estate in Eng land with lady of rare beauty who had great influence over him. although she did not bear his name He never asked for further news of her, but often in his subsequent career, when he had become the scourge of the Iroquois and Hurons, he thought of Judith of the Lake and sighed
