FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1899.

CHICAGO Inlei Ocean: Ninety of the j'iiiant volunteers whom the grand old state of Mississippi contributed to the army in response to the country's call for defenders have returned to their homes in Chicago.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN says he will stand by the free-silver issue in the coming presidential campaign, although there may be other issues equally deserving of his attention. He haB not quite recovered from the St. Louis banquet.

IN 1896 the Democrats abused the Republicans because interest rates were high and money scarce. Now the Democrats are abusing the Republican party because money is plenty and interest rates are low.

MB. HENDERSON, of Iowa, will presumably succeed Mr. Reed as speaker. Mr. Henderson is by birth a Scotchman. He is a one legged Union veteran, fifty-nine years of age, and haB been elected to nine consecutive terms in the lower house of congress.

GEN. COLLAZA, expounding the Cuban attitude toward existing conditions, says his people were taught "that the Americans always had honest home government which adhered strictly to law and knew no favoritism except that based on merit." And still those Cubans expect us to believe that thev are capable of selfgovernment. Such criminal guilelessness as that of Collaza is enough to damn the whole Cuban race.

ALL the Boldiers who will be required by OtiB to enable him to finish his conquest of the Philippines and to garriBon Btragetic points will be had without resorting to a call for any more volunteers. This is the assurance which is furnished by the war department. It will please the country. It will at the same time be a disappointment to the Democratic leaders and to the demagogues in general, but there will be still harder blows for those individuals in the canvasB of 1900.

AFTER a career of more than four centuries as a colonial power, during a large part of which time she technically owned more than a third of the entire earth, Spain has again shrunk to its old dimensions in the peninsula. The Netherlands, Portugal and all the rest of her European domain broke away from her long ago. Then, in the first quarter of the present century, a blaze of revolution swept from Mexico to Oape Horn along both of the great oceans, and she lost the new world which Columbus gave to Leon and Castile. With the transfer of the three clusters of islands in the Pacific to Germany the remnant of her colonial domain vanishes. Not one of the rest of the world's great nations presents such an array of discoverers and explorers—Columbus, Ponce de Leon, Cortes, Balboa, Magellan, Narvaez, Soto, Coronado, Pizarro and scoreB of others—as Spain's annals show. Today the world empire which they won for Spain haB shrunk to as small a measure as it had on that fateful Friday in August, 407 years ago, when Columbus, with his three caravels, sailed out from the port of PaloB to cross the Sea of Darkness.

NEARLY everyone who was in Cuba during the war, or has had opportunity for observation since the American occupation, has spoken in praise of generals like Gomez and Garcia. But nearly all of the returning soldiers and many of the public men who went to Cuba have found nothing to praise in the rank and file of the so-called Cuban army. Colonel John Gary Evans, formerly governor of South Carolina, and for some months a member of General Ludlow's Btaff in Havana, declared recently:,, "If you could have seen the army that marched into Havana behind Gomez you would have acknowledged the impossibility of decent Belf-govern-ment on that island. Of all the hetrogeneous assemblages ever gathered, this was the worst. Coxey's army was a company of aristocratic gentlemen by comparison. All this talk about the patriotism of the Cuban army is a myth. They were largely actuated by a desire for plnnder and for office. They now want to rule the island, because they see their chances for looting the treasury will not be good so long as it remains under American

control. To turn the iBland over to the Cubans would have been a worse crime against civilization than to have allowed the Spanish to rule it."

BEGINNING OJP THE OPPOSITION TO TRUSTS. Indianapolis Journal: Opposition to trusts, as Buch, originated with the Republican party. They first began to attract attention and to become a menace to the industrial prosperity of the country during the last administration of Grover Cleveland, from 1894 to 1898. The cotton seed oil trust, with a capital stock of $45,000,000, and the sugar trust were formed in 1887, both during Mr. Cleveland's first administration. Several other trusts were formed about the Bame time and the matter began to attract attention.

It is believed that General Harrison was the first person to denounce them in a public speech, as he was also the first President to recommend anti-tru6t legislation by congress. On the 26th of August, 18SG, General Harrison, then United States senator, delivered his openiug speech of the Indiana campaign at Danville, Ind. In this speech, after discussing various public questions, he referred to "this abominable and un-American system which is recently developed, called trusts He said: "This sort of thing has come about: The men making steel rails form an association and they say, 'We must not make too many steel rails, the price will go down.' And so they say to a steel mill over in St. Louis: 'Now don't you make any steel rails this year at all you let your fires go out. You can discharge all your workmen and we will pay you out of the pool enough to make you a good dividend on your stock or your capital.' And the mill shuts down, turns out the workmen that should be there, and gets out of the pool a good interest on its investment. We had a whisky pool. I don't know that anybody would object that they limit the production, but it will do just as well for illustration. They work it in the

Bame

way. They say to this distillery: 'Your capacity is a hundred barrels you make fifty.' And to another: 'Don't you run at all and we will pay you.' And they pool it all up and

fix

prices this way. Now this thing is running too far. It is un-American it is unpatriotic, in my judgment, and you will notice that those who are attacking our tariff system take their position behind these facts and use them as the ground of their assault. We must find some way to stop such combinations. I believe these things should be made unlawful, prohibited and punished as conspiracies against the people."

This is believed to have been the first public expression against trusts made in the United States. Two years later General Harrison waB nominated and elected president. The national platform on which he stood contained the following: "We declare our opposition to all combinations of capital, organized in trust or otherwise, to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens, and we recommend to congress and Btate legislatures in their respective jurisdictions such legislation as will prevent the execution of all schemes to oppress the people by undue charges on their Bupplies, or by unjust rates for the transportation of the products to market. We approve the legislation of congress to prevent alike unjust burdenB and unfair discriminations between the states."

This was the first declaration of any national convention on the subject. The Democratic national platform of that year contained no reference to it. In his first annual message, in December, 1889, General Harrison called the attention of congress to the formation of trusts, and said: "When organized, as they often'are, to crush out all healthy competition and to monopolize the production or sale of an article of commerce and general necessity, they are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should be made the subject of prohibitory and even penal legislation."

This led to the introduction of the Sherman anti-trust bill which was passed by a Republican congress and approved by President Harrison on the 26th of June, 1890. Democratic opposition to trusts is of very recent origin.

LAST fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went 4o a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50cent bottle cared me entirely. I now now recommend it to all friends.—F. A. BABCOCK, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

WINE ON THEIR MENU.

Aluuini of Wabash College the Victims of a Sad Error—Story of Last Week's Feast.

Chicago Post: Wabash college, one of the most prominent institutions of learning in Indiana, and one of the largest Presbyterian schools in the country,

haB

But the

been "disgraced," and

the Chicago alumni of the college did the disgracing. It is a terrible tale that reached Crawfordsville, the seat of Wabash, to-day. It is told in a few words. At the annual banquet of the graduates of the institution who live in this city, wine was on the n^enu. The charge may be denied, but the accusers declare that they have bona fide convincing evidence. The menu shows it in black and white. With the first course, cream of asparagus, went amontillado. And the banquet was served in the rooms of the Central Y. M. C. A.

Incidentally it is proposed to add a new course to the Wabash curriculum —a course in "winology." Though the college bears the distinction of having graduated the receiver of the whisky trust, its most prominent alumni and even the president of the college, Dr. George S. Burroughs, did not know until Friday evening what amontillado is, and now they remain discreetly silent about their new discovery.

That on the menu prepared by graduates of such a good Presbyterian school as Wabash college any wine should find a place will prove a great shock to the trustees and to the many people all through Indiana and in other states who send their boys to Crawfordsville to imbibe wisdom—not amontillado. That President Burroughs should attend such a banquet makes it worse, for it sets the seal of official approval on the offence.

For this reason the malefactors are trying hard to hide their disgrace. They have censored the menu. Today it is hard to find a printed banquet cardjcontaining the name of the wine. It was decided to expurgate the printed evidence, and the unexpurgated copies suddenly have become very scarce. On all the menus Bent to Crawfordsville for publication in the college and city papers there is a scratch noticeable beneath the "cream of asparagus." The word "amontillado" has been erased.

boyB

have an explanation

the whole incident. They declare that they are the victims of their own innocence—an innocence carefully cultivated at Wabash college while they attended it—and that a grave error has caused their present discomfiture. In direct contradiction of the menu, they say no wine was drunk, though it does appear on the card. And this is he an at on

When it was decided to have a banquet of the Chicago alumni, a committee on entertainment was appointed, consisting of Charles H. Leech, '95, a lawyer with an office in the Tacoma building Cyrus W. Knouff. '96, a ministry student, now at Lake Forest University, and W. F. Fry, a secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. Attorney Leech prepared a menu in plain English, and then took it to a French restaurant for translation into Parisian.

Here the villain of the plot enters the play, and he is the chef. He couldn't find anything French ior cream of asparagus, but wherever he found thiB dish in his collection of fashionable bills of fare he found that amontillado went with it. So he combined the two, and Leech had the cards printed without question, for, as he confessed to-day, he was ignorant of the meaning of the strange word that slipped in. The deed was done the fatal error could not be undone.

Friday evening the old college boys met around the festive board. Toastmaster Alexander Clarke and several others discovered the mistake. President Burroughs happened to be hungry, or thirsty, and he noticed that he was not getting all that the menu card advertised. To clear up the mystery he turned to General John McNulta of the class of '57 for an explanation. "I see we have amontillado,"

Eaid

the dignified college president inquiringly to the old graduate who controls the whisky trust's affairs. "Yes," said General McNulta, evading the issue." "I don't believe I ever ate Amontillado what kind of a dish is it?" continued Dr. Burroughs, and the alumnus began to look as they used to when the head of the college asked pertinent questions about something that may have happened in Crawfordsville on Washington's birthday, while they were still in college. "You ought to try it some time, doctor it is very delicate—yes, it's very good—that is, I hear it highly com-v mended—as a wine." That was as far* as the general went. The mist surrounding Dr. Burroughs had been dispelled'

When the next Wabash college annual appears it probably will contain some interesting matter about President Burroughs and the Chicago alumni in connection with the banquet last week. And while in the bright lexicon of Wabash College there is no such word as "amontillado," there will be from this time on, even though wine is to be barred from the banquets hereafter.
