CONGRESS AND TRUST DIsSOLU-
TION.

Having probed the steel trust to a
certain extent, the democratic house
! of representatives now recommends
that the same trust be dissolved; /;
which, as we may take it, is a sort
of legislative encouragement to the
department of justice.
All of this sounds well, if you say
! it quickly. But in view of the re-
suits of past trust dissolutions one
wonders if there is likely to be much
| to it besides sound.
Congress is not facing the trust
question squarely merely by probing
and then recommending dissolution,
or by saying to the federal depart
ment of justice: That's a good
fellow. Sic 'em, Tige!"
The trust is largely a case of too
much water in the blood, and the
evil of it is systemic. 1t needs
constructive craftsmanship, not for
Intellectual shaking up by process of
so-called dissolution, but by the en-
actment of law that will have eco
nomic soundness; that will be in ac-
cord with the warning of the su-
preme court in the Standard Oil de-
cision, to the effect that the trusts
are with us to remain and that reg
ulation and not dissolution is. the
proper course to contemplate.
Clearly enough congress is loath
to consider this problem in it's larger
aspects, because to consider it justly
and treat it properly is bound to re-
suit in a squeezing process which the
business interests dread, and that
through them will affect temporar-
lily, and without doubt acutely, the
interests of the millions.
The system must be rid of the
poison of overcapitalization; and
how to get rid of it and avoid the
most serious affects is the delicate
and embarrassing problem. 1t is a
problem, however, that statesman,
ship must face sooner or later, and
it is not to be solved by any make
shift of fake dissolution.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Farewell. Old Year.

The old year will soon have passed
into history. We will part with it
as with an old friend. To some it
has brought much joy-to others
sorrow. Yet we are reluctant to say
farewell. Like a palsied man, it tot
ters as it nears the end of lifes jour
ney and goes forward toward the
vast vault wherein doth lie the forms
of dead dynasties and sheeted cen
turies swept by the remorseless hand
of time to that great graveyard at
the entrance of which rises the i'm
aginary tombstone upon which is in
scribed these words: THE PAST.
There is a sublime solemnity in the
slowly moving yet never varying tide
of years. Man has marked its course
into hours, days, weeks, months and
centuries, yet it rushes on, on, and
still on, utterly unmindful of the
puny marks raised to measure the
tide that never tires. Dynasteis have
risen, flourished aid decayed; cities
have sprung from fertile plains and
then sank beneath the deserts shift
ing sands; continents have reared
their lofty brows above the oceans
trackless waste, only to return to
the coral caverns from which they
rose; races have risen to the noon
of splendor and then been lost in the
darkness of night, but Time, plod-
ding, tireless Time, sweeps on with
the same regularity as when it first
issued forth from the hollow of Gods
hand to the chant of the mornings
stars and the proclaimed Creations
dawn. And yet Time is but the i'm
age of eternity, the shadow of a
shoreless sea, the type of a duration
for which all the ages past and all
the aeons to come would not make
or constitute the first faint flush of
the first streak of dawn of it's sec
ond morning. Eternity, thou pleas
ing, dreadful thought" That never
ending reign succeeding the crash of
matter and the wreck of the worlds,
suns, systems. Intelligence has
achieved triumphs. 1t has read the
stars of heaven and can foretell to
a second when the great fiery sun
will be hidden in partial or total
eclipse; it can read the history OF
creation on the rocks of nature and
unfold the secrets hidden by God in
the bowels of the earth; but when it
attempts to grasp the significance of
eternity it stands abashed and dunn
founded at its inability to compre-
hend an infinite plan.

run through for the reverse printing
inadvertently the pressman had
turned out one shee upside down.
with the result that two misprinted
bills came forth-one with a $50
face and 500 back and the other
with a 500 face and $50 back.
The cashier of the bank had been
the first to become aware of the er-
ror. He found that something was
wrong, after he had paid out the
note with the $50 face and the 800
, back, by coming across one with the
/ 500 face and the $50 back. This
note was returned to the treasury
and destroyed and a perfect one is
sued in its stead.
On the 1880 notes is found a
treasury seal entirely different from
any other ever used by the govern
ment. The key, which is one of the
most important symbols of the seal.
shows a handle at the left hand side
instead of at the right, as on all
others. The shield is of different
shape and the stars are larger. The
two ends of the hand surrounding
the symbols are fastened with a
buckle which in no other instance
forms a part of the design of a treas
ury seal. This is the only issue OF
notes on which the peculiar seal was
used and collectors OF paper money
include them among the freaks"
Another curiosity is a 81 note of
the Second National Bank of Ra-
VIENNA, Ohio. 1t lacks the signature
of the president and the cashier, al
though it was circulated without
challenge
A 81 national bank note of the
, First National Bank of Fall River.
Mass, also lacks both signatures.
but passed freely for some time be-
fore the blunder was observed. Still
another 81 note-that of the First
National Bank of Indianapolis
lacks the signature of the president
certain legal tender note of
1860. has one very curious feature.
Its face bears portrait of Webster
and representation of Rolfe pre-
senting Pocahonta3 to Queen Eliza
beth. At the bottom of the center is
a small eagle. Upon turning this
bill upside down the eagle presents a
faithful likeness OF donkey's head.
Whether this was intended by the
engraver as joke is not known, but
the resemblance is so close that it
seems to indicate premeditation on
his part.

TWO VIEWS OF 1T.

Was or was not union labor on
trial at Indianapolis? Judge Ander-
son, who presided at the trial of the
men charged with illegally trans
porting dynamite, says that it was
not, while Senator Kern, who defend
ed them, urges that it was. 1t would
seem to depend largely upon the
stand that union labor takes in the
matter, whether or not it is or was
on trial. 1t certainly was not on
trial before the court, and whether
or not it is put on trial before the
bar of public opinion will depend
largely upon the attitude of union
labor in the matter. These men
were convicted after fair trial, and
after having exhausted every art of
the technical lawyer to prevent it.
The fact that two of the men were
acquitted shows that the jury decid-
ed according to their belief in the
evidence before them, and there are
few outside the ranks of organized
labor who will doubt the guilt of the
accused, and many members of or
ganized labor will agree with them
While it is right and just that a
parent or friend should try to shield
one guilty of crime, organized labor
owes it to itself and to the country
at large not to stand sponsor for the
criminal acts of any of it's officers.
1t cannot afford tc do so nor is it
right that it should. Senator Kern's
impassioned attacks upon the courts
of the government in which. unfor-
tunately he holds a high position;
his appeals to prejudice that more
money may be poured into the cof-
fers of the defense, should not in
.duce one honest laboring man to up
hold those guilty of wholesale dyna-
miting in the cause of labor. The
fact that it was done in the cause
of labor should make him the more
determined to rid labor of the taint
by refusing to aid in their defense.
American jurisprudence is such that
ten guilty men escape and the tradi-
tional one innocent one is not con-
victed except upon perjured evidence.
Whatever we. may think of McMani-
gal, his story was corroporated to
the utmost by evidence of all de-
scriptions and was believed to be
true by twelve men who had heard
every word of it. Three months
spent in hearing the evidence and ar
gument is too long for passion and
! prejudice to have swayed them. 1t
was conviction in the minds of
every juror that these men had been
| conspirators in the most damnable
plots in the history of the world,
which caused the verdict, and it is
worse than foolish for organized la
Dor to put itself in the position of an
apologist for such tactics.

The New Year.

"A friend stood at the door;
In either tight-closed hand
Hiding rich gifts, three hundred and
three score;
Waiting to strew them daily Ger the
land,
Even as the sewer,
Each drops he, treads it in, and
passes by;
1t cannot be made fruitful till it die.
Friend, come thou like a friend,
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot COM
prehend,
Well hold our patient hands, each
in his place,
And trust thee to the end;
Knowing thou leadest onward to
those spheres
Where there are neither days, nor
months, nor years"
Miss Mullock in this beautiful
poem gives our ideas better than we
can express them. The idea of each
day being a gift, hidden from us un-
til it's hour comes, is a pretty
thought. So many gifts, so much
time to use for either profit or loss,
and so many hands are held out
eagerly for the coming days, looking
for them to bring happiness, or gain
of some kind. The spirit sometimes
grows faint before the unknown fu-
ture, consequently it is enough tC
take one day at time and try tC
make that good 1t is hard enough
even then and sometimes it is best
to go hour by hour. One day at a
time is the secret of every noble life
One day at time. taken up bravely
with it's duties faithfully done a:
they come, its trials patiently borne
| its temptations firmly resisted, it!
cross cheerfully carried, its joys
rightly used, and it's gladness gath
cred from every hour as it passes
on. Instead of making many resolu
tions at the first of the year to bt
quickly broken, let us strive to NEE
each day bravely, and take what i
brings unquestioningly.
ooh, hang some lamp like hope
Above the unknown way,
Kind year to give our spirits free
scope,
And our hand strength to worl
while it is day."

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

One of the hopeful signs of the
present is the disposition on the part
Of the authorities to put the blue
sky" operators of all kinds behind
the bars. While the sale of worth
less stocks is not one of the princi-
pal causes of panics, it is one of the
causes, as it first causes undue spec
ulation, and when the bubble bursts
leaves many unable to meet the
financial demands of legitimate bus
iness. Were the element of reckless
chance taken out of business there
would never need be, nor would
there be, serious panics 1t is be-
cause in most cases that someone has
invested in wildcat stocks and then
drags down his conservative business
connections, which causes the disas-
trous failures.

Have the courage to wear your old
clothes until you can pay for new
ones.
Have the courage to discharge a
debt while you have the money in
your pocket.
Have the courage to obey your
conscience at the risk of ridicule
from men.
Have the courage to own YOU are
poor and thus disarm poverty of its
sharpest sting.
Have the courage to wear thick
boots in winter and insist on your
wife and daughter doing the same.
Have the courage to do without
that which you do not need, however
much your eyes may covet it,
Have the courage to speak to a
friend in ''seedy" coat, even
though you are in company with a
rich man and richly attired.

THE FARMERS BEARS.

After the freight bill has been paid
and the commission mans percent
age subtracted, a Long Island farm
er received a little over 80 cents a
bushel for the lima beans he raised
this season. The farmer went to
New York within day or two, and
feeling some curiosity as to the re-
failing of his beans, traced them to
one of the big markets. There he
found his 30-cent beans selling at Is
cents quart, which figures out
$3.50 bushel.
The farm produce raised in this
country last year brought the farm
ers about 100000. The con-
sumers paid $4,000, 900, 900 for that
produce. Somewhere between the
farmer and the ultimate purchaser
the price was doubled and a billion
dollars slapped on for good meas
ure. Doesn't 7,000,000,000 seem
rather tough charge for transpor-
tation, handling and marketing? Yet
how much worse if the prices on all
farm stuff multiplied as much and
as fast as the beans of the Long
Island farmer? The optimist will
find some grounds for thankfulness
in the marketing system, bad as il
is. 1t is to be hoped, though, the
conviction that the situation might
be worse will not deter the optimist
joining any movement to operate or
that $4,000 900 swelling.

southwest of Lincoln. Two years
after the advent of Luther the boyls
mother died. 1t was than that the
elder McCarty took up the life that
has been SO picturesque. He took on
the. guise of an Indian, calling himself
"Chief White Eagle" and became a
street fakir INC medicine lender. His
travels have taken him into every
state in the. union, Canada and Mexico.
Seven years ago the McCartys' came to
Sydney, o., living there three years be-
fore coming to Piqua, where they now
reside. q
A friend of the family, who knows
Luther and his father intimately, tells
a story that throws some interesting
side lights on the picturesque pair. Re-
lates this friend:
Last summer there appeared in the
smaller cities and towns and villages
of Southern Ohio a street fakir of the
old school. He looked like an Indian,
was tall, massive and silent. He car
ried an outfit with him, several per-
former such as a strong woman, a
strong man who bent heavy iron bars
and broke iron chains; a max charm
er, two spotted ponies drawing an elab-
orately decorated wagon, a greyhound
who appeared like a worthy member
Of a worthy breed, and a little dog Of
81 varieties of breeds in his make up.
The fakir also carried a tent.
This Indian called himself White
Eagle and he posed as a medicine
mar He sold a c~oncoction which he
labeled snake oil. 1t was particularly
good for rheumatism, govt, toothache,
headache, aching muscles, and most
anything in the way of ordinary ills
so he said.
Every evening the Indian picked
out a prominent corner of the town he
happened to be in, and erected his
platform, set out his supply of snake
oil, and between acts by his special
troupe of performers he disposed of
his bottled neutrality-suspicious.. He had
a picturesque outfit and he drew well.
lone. day there came to one of the
cities in southern Ohio a masculine
| giant. He had W. black eyes n he
| sought police headquarters. He asked
about the street fakir, the Indian who
called himself White Eagle, and sold
rattlesnake OIL White Eagle had
gone and the police knew not his pres
ent whereabouts.
1.-THE young giant with the two black
eyes sat down to explain. His name
was Luther McCarty. and he was a
prizefighter. His father was a street
fakir who called himself White Eagle.
The son had been in several bouts

his father again. lie travelled on ant

The Pinch Hitter hereby offers a re-

Doty and bring him to this office,
dead or alive, preferably dead. We
searched the composing room for him
last night, but he was gone. Wednes-
day night this same X. D.. searched
through a collection of cuts and picked
the likeness of some prizefighter to
run above a paragraph concerning the
immortal Harry Davis. This despite
the fact that he was possessed of an
admirable proof of Davis picture. Kid
Doty calls himself a fan. What we
call Kid Doty can't be printed here.
