1 'THERE ARE NO TRUSTS."
This is what Maik Hanna says
While the oil trust, steel trust,
sugar trust, papt r trust, salt trust
and numberless other trusts art
forcing prices up, declaring fab
ulous dividends, robbing the
people of their hard earnings,
this bloated plutocrat cool
makes the above statement
Others have said that thera are
bad trusts and good trusts. Others
have declared that trusts are not
such bad things after all. The
platforms of the different parties
have repeatedly denounced trusts
The various parties have pledged
themselves to eradicate trusts
It remained for Mark Hanna to
disclose the fact that there are no
trusts. According to this sir ora
cle the parties have been de.
nouncing a non-entity. The de
luded people have been crying
out against a thing that does not
exist, a chimera of the brain, a
wild fantasy of a distorted imag
i nation. Is not this the quintes
ence of humor, the height of com
edy? It is almost enough to
make the midriff of a stiffend
corp e shake with laughter. Just
think of it! Mark Hanna, the fat,
bloated, cold blooded, calculat
ing, unscrupulous Mack the in
timate friend of trusts, the pas
ainate lover of trusts, the fellow
who gives trusts a quadrenuial
hug and lifts his euorinous cam
paign funds from their pockets
this Mack, posing as the friend
of the masses aud endeavoring
to quiet their fears by saying
' there are no trusts." It is funny
to funny. It is absurd. Mack
what ailest thou? Thy cause must
be growiug desperate. Thy form
er tricks must have Iot thcii
charm. The eyes of the people
must be opening to thy true
character. The fortunes of thy
favorite -MeKinley must be
dire and calamitous indeed to de
mand such antics. Mack do b
all means give us another rev
elation before that fateful day in
November when your trust-loving
and trust-producing Admin
istration shall be hurled from
power.
MR. DUKE'S GIFT.
Mr. Washington Duke has
given another $100,000 00 to the
Endowment fund of Trinity Col
lege, making $500,000.00 he has
given in all. Over a half million
of dollars is a vast sum of mon
ey for one man to give to an ed
ucational institution, and Mr.
Duke deserves the gratitude of
all jeople for his liberality.
Glorious News.
Conies from Dr. D. B. Cargile
of Washita, I. T. He writes:
"Four bottles of Electric Bitters

fula, which bad caused her great
su.iering lor ears. Terrible
sores would break out on her
tiad and face, and the best docs
tors could give no help; but her
cure is complete and her health
ixcellent." This shows what
thousands have proved,that

purifier known. It's the supreme

Iff MEMORY.
Jacob Salornonsky departed
this life on the morning of the
ic th instant in his sixty-6it-t year
lit had been in feeble health lor
sometime and his death was not
unexpected. He left a laie fam
ily and a host of friends to moarn
his demise.
For thirty-five years or more
he was a familiar figure upon
our streets, and in our business
and social circles. Ke was highly
esteemed in the community and
especially so in the fraterual so
cietiea in which he held mem
bership. He was broad and Cath
olic in his views and posesscd a
tender, sympathetic heait.
He was generous to a fault. No
woithy cause failed to find in him
a sturdy and ardent supporter.
In his palmier days when for
tune smiled upon him, many a
heart was made to rejoice by
reason of his kind, unostentation
menistries. Ever jubilant and
happy himself he seemed a per
fect demonstration of the fac
"Mercy is twice blessed:
it blesses him that gives,
and him that takes."
uur nooie Lteorew inend is
now gone. But his deeds of kind
ness, his acts ol charity, his
many social virtues will long live
in the hearts of his sorrowing
friends. Thou erenorous son of
Abraham, farewell.
It Happened in a Drug Store.
"One day last winter a lady
came to my drugstore and asked
for a brand of cough medicine
that I did not have in stock,"
says Mr. C. R. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, N.
Y. "She was disappointed and
wanted to know what cough
preparation I could recommend.
I said to her that I could freely
recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Lemedy and that she
could take a bottle of the remedy
and alter giving it a fair trial if
she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle
and I would refund the price
paid. In the course of a day or
two the lady ca-ne back in com
pauy with a friend in need of a
cough medicine and advised her
to buy 3 bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I consider that
a very good recommendation for
the remedv." It is for sale by

DEMOCRATS TO ORGANIZE.
There is dauger that our
people feel loo secure since the
great victory of August last.
The Electoral vote of this State
must not be lost by inactivity.
Demociatic Congressmen are
to be elected and if we do not
work hard and coi7tiiuiously,
defeat may follow victory. IIou
badly would we feel if in the
national ejection we should have
the humiliation of seeing the
C7
electoral vote ot the State given
to MeKinley and Roosevelt, or
fail to elect our nine Congress
men. In another column we

MERCENARIES FORCOLONIES
A French Omeral's Suggestion for tlie
Philippine Kebrllion.
During the course of a conversation
recently with a distinguished French
gteneral who has seen a good deal of
service in Algeria and in Cochin China,
he expressed astonishment that the
Uniter States government should be
using Its regular troops and its volun-

with a special view to service in thei
tv : 1 ; j .
j-imii.-pines.
France, he pointed out, made use of
her so-called foreign legion, a brig
ade of some 16,000 or 20,000 men, for
ner hostile operations in Tong King,
ana m the same way Holland does
not dream of employing Dutch troops
for the warfare in Sumatra, but- hai
organized brigades of foreign mercen
enes ior service in the Orient. Both
the Netherlands and France offer far
lower rates of pay than the United
Sltates, and the latter, especially If It
were to concede a small bounty, would
not have the slightest difficulty in
raising and equipping a valuable force
of German, English, French, Italian
and Irish soldiers of fortune, mercen

entirely by Americans, who would
naturally be compelled to maintain an
Iron discipline, the same as is ;he case
In the French foreign legion, which
comprises men of every nationality in
its ranns. The foreign legion of
France was formed partly to admit f
the use of the service of foreign vol
unteers, and partly owing to the un
popularity in France of military ser
vice in the colonies. Hollland's for
eign legion was formed for the same
reason, and the general declared that
the United States would do well to
follow the example of these two coun
tries, all the more as the warfare in
the Philippines is almost identical
with that in the Dutch colony of Su
matra and in Tong King.
GolJ Deposits In the Philippine.
At the distance and with the clip-hf
exploratory work which has been car-
rien on in tne Philippine islands, the
minerals that can be profitably ex
ported are best known. George F.
Becker, in his recent investigation, has
given a very clear view of the present
mineral exploration in the Philippines,
and has shown that gold is found in a
great number of localities in the arch
ipelago, from northern Luzon to cen
tral Mindanao. In most cases the gold
