The Boston Herald thus comments on
Mr.. Bryan's proposed remedy against the
evils in the trusts
Mr. Bryan believes that the way to ex-
terminate trusts is TO begin to extermi-
nate them In his speech at Indianapolis
yesterday he tried 10 show how that could
be done He is at last definite in the ap-
plioation Of his theories His scheme for
Federal control Of trusts is not new A
bill covering the same plan was intro
duced in Congress at the last session, but
made little progress Trusts are Of three
kinds-good. bad. and indifferent Trusts
controlling less than . per cent OF the
product OF their kind in the country are
Indifferent The government need not
bother about them Trusts controlling
between 8 and 50 per cent Of their kind
Of product are good and deserving Of gov
ernment sanction and control. The trusts
| that control over 80 per cent are bad. and
must be extermiuated- According 10 Mr..
| Bryans plan, all trusts in the latter class
should be ordered to forthwith sell such
I part Of their plants as would reduce their
/ production to 50 per cent OF the gross out
I put in the country. It looks simple But
/ would the general welfare Of the country
/ be bettered II business were put under
such a strait-iacket treatment"

There nay be war between the United

am not particularly fond OF warfare, nor
do I thirst for blood, but the question OF
Nongolian immigration into the United

A CORRUPT BARGAIN.

Before Diminishing this subject ] cannot
forbear expressing curiosity as to what
return the Republican party managers
expect from national bankers for the
new favors conferred upon them by the
Aldrch-Vreeland law, What compensa-
ton Will be made In the way OF cam
palgn contributions? In 1896 the national
banks contributed several million dollars
to the Republican campaign fund. They
were caught red-handed In the very act
Of contributing. indeed made but little
effort to conceal 1t. Leading bankers in
great centers wrote urgent letters TO
and national. for contributions. and
many of these letters were given to the
press. have now In my possession
letter written by n committee OF ma
tional bankers, stating that their own
hanks had contributed on the basis of
one-quarter OF one per cent OF their
combined capital and surplus, and urging
that the banks addressed should do like
wise. II liz well-known that many banks.
particularly national banks, generously
contributed upon that basis. II is known
that many banks contributed more than
once, but q single contribution on the
basis stated would raise an enormous
sum. At this time there are 6G9s ma
tlonal banks. with paid-up capital OF
surplus and undivided profits OF $3.50 co.,.
O00. II the experience OF 1896 should be
repeated this year. and a contribution
equal TO one-fourth OF one per cent upon
the combined capital and surplus OF ma.
state institutions. should be made. 1t
would produce political corruption

publican Congressional bosses did not

BOY HAS CLOSE CALL.

Arthur Lolita, the six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Lolita, whose
father is employed in the planning
mill Of the S. E. slade Lumber Co.,
had narrow escape from death
Saturday morning.
The little chap was in the habit
Of playing near the planning mill,
and had been repeatedly scolded for
it. Saturday morning, he was in the
mill unobserved, when suddenly
the workmen heard shrek, and in
stantly stopped the machinery, which
was all that saved the boys life. He
had been caught in a gearing and
whirled around shaft until the ma
chinery stopped, when he fell to the
floor. He was taken home by his
father, and was found to have es-
capped without the breaking of any
bones, although severely bruised.

THE LAND OF NOD"
The Celebrated Musical Extravaganza
Will Be Presented at the Grand
Tonight.

Samuel E. Rork's distinguished
musical extravaganza success, "The
Land of Nod" will be presented at
the Grand theater tonight. The rare
splendors of the stage spectacle ap-
pear to be perfectly familiar to a
large proportion of theater-goers of
Aberdeen, inasmuch as there is an
unusually large advance sale of seats,
which indicates that the famous pro-
duction will be witnessed by as many
people as can get within the four
walls of the house. That the per-
Torrance will be hugely enjoyed is
a foregone conclusion because praise
of the unstinted kind which has pre-
coded the show is not betrayed upon
any but entertainments of the high
est type. The company of Is COM
edians, singers, dancers and special
lists and all of the elaborate scenery,
costumes and electrical effects which
have been provided for the long en-.
gagements in the large cities will
be seen here That we are to have
the number one production in every
detail is assured by the fact tina,
there is only one company playing
this piece. While the sale is un.
usually large, there are still some
good seats left, but they are not
likely to remain unsold after the
doors open.
