THE TRUSTS co ON

IT HE report of an International Steel Trust
to regulate prices Of the world is new de-
velopment of industry and very startling one
The argument of the lower tariff men has been
TO throw down the protective barriers and then for
eign competition would break up the American
trusts or compel them to lower prices. But this
is met by a proposal of an international trust
which knows no barriers. The world instead of
one country is its field OF operations.
1t will be interesting TO note how the foreign
nations will deal with this new question, and
whether they will submit TO worldwide monopoly
The action Of the steel men is in the nature
of mockery of Uncle Sam. Just as our Supreme
Court renders decision which seeks to restore
competition in business, and just as our wise men
say that the trusts must be broken up and COM
petition restored the steel magnates answer by
forming or proposing TO form still bigger trust
No matter what may be argued in favor of COM
petition and the unshaokng of trade the con-
oentration of capital and business goes forward.
All OF which is bringing grst TO the mill of the
Socialists, for the formation of the big trust is
one of the evolutions of industry which they long
ago predicted
II is not alone the steel trust that is causing
the judicious dsmay. There is to be gigantic
money trust in New York The national bank
ing laws are too conservative, so a corporation
has been formed which will operate without the re-
strants of national banks and skim the cream off
the business milk Of the country
Verify money trust would be the most oppres-
sive of all trusts and Mr. Taft and the statesmen
at Washington will have to be careful TO see that
the Aldrich currency scheme does not unfold the

Perhaps some thoughtful persons believe that
the newspapers print too much sporting news
Perhas they do, but let any man stay in news
paper Office for day or so and we think he will
get the impression that the only thing the mass
OF humanity or rather the mass that you hear
from directly, are interested in is the score And
this is getting more and more So But the news
papers as a whole are not getting worse or of
lower standard They may not approach the high
standard Of the Christian Science Monitor, which
in many respects is really fine paper, but we
think they are climbing up little by little or are
trying to do so. The publishers of newspapers
gauge their wares according to their market, but
how far they are ethicaly justified in pandering
TO the sensational instincts of their readers is
always debatable question.

IN the interests of temperance, has
a membership of more than a million,
scattered throughout the United
States and all the countries Of Europe.
After the business session this

You have given us q lot of figures

said the man. Let's see what you

Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
az the questioner Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied. in a
voice that made the gas jets culver:

Mr. John Titus has finally lost his position in
the Government service because Of political activ-
ity He was delegate to a state convention, we
believe, and this was used 10 rout him from his
place. Mr.. Titus served as special deputy collec-
tor of the port for nine years and he served the
Government faithfully. He was a good official
and did much to bring Wilmington more promi-
ment of Mr.. Titus is out Of proportion to his Of
fence and II may be that he has been a victim
OF plotters who used his alleged activity as pre-
text At any rate we think it hard that a man
who has served for so many years should be put
out on so dimsy an excuse.

II am sure that General Grant would
rejoice if he could make It up with

has grieved greatly over the misunder-
standing which has interrupted the
friendship long maintained with Grant.
am going to bring those two men to-
gether, although / don't know exactly
how to do It."
Why don't you invite them to dine
with YOU" Elkins was asked.
NO, that wouldn't do was the re-
ply. Each man would suspect that
the other had put me up to that. l
think there is a little pride that stands
In the way Of their reconciliation"
few days later Mr. Elkins said that
he had given the matter much thought
and he was satisfied that the only way
TO bring about the reconciliation was
to cause Blaine and Grant TO meet as
though by pure chance. 1t was evident
to Elkins' confdant that Elkins was
planning already what would appear
to be an accidental, unexpected meet
ing between Grant and Blaine A day
or two later Mr.. Elkins appeared pc
fore his confidant again. and he was as
radiant as a child
Il am the happiest man in Washing
ton, he cried. II left Grant and Blaine
yesterday afternoon sitting side by
side, engaged in the most kindly and
familiar conversation You know,
Grant came to Washington a few days
ago. You may know that Blaine for
some time now has been occupied with
getting together material for the book
which he intends to write. a sort of
reminiscense Of his life as a member
OF Congress. Those two incidents
Grants arrival and Blaine's book
gave me the hint for the meeting."
Elkins was asked how he accom-
plished the meeting so that neither
Blaine nor Grant would be suspicious
of his Intervention.
No, no, ] shall never tell that; those
two men must never suspect that they
met except by accident" Elkins de-
clared with great positiveness. "If 1
should tell 1t to one person how they
met I should be likely to tell it to an
other, and that would spoil the Incl
dent"
And so far as l know Elkins never
told to any one how he brought about
the meeting between Blaine and Grant
"a meeting that resulted in perfect
reconciliation, so that from that day
forth, until the death of General Grant,
the two remained fast friends

Policemen as well as others suffer from the

The trouble with Mr.. Stokes the New York

with some young women in which gun play was
part OF the play, is that he let his fondness for
letter writing get the better of him. man now
adays never knows what is to become of his letters
ana tney turn up in unexpected places and some
times see the light of newspaper publicity. Thev
always make good if foolish reading and thar is
why they are printed. A man in the street or

the same man as he disoloses himself in a letter
