The common stock of the steel trust is quoted as being worth only about 10 cents on the dollar and this shows the kind of game which has been played on its purchasers. Notwithstanding the extraordinary favors granted by the Dingley tariff law, this particular trust has found it worth while in its efforts to nquei-ze the market to close down a number of its mills. The beef, trust is also carrying things on ' with a high hind. The farmer is selling his hogs and cattle for less money and this trust is making 1 larger profits at the farmer’s expense. All the farmer buys is at high trust prices but he cannot I purchase enough to keep the trust 1 mills going as their owners would ] like and his brothers in the cities ! are in the same fix. If the tariff • was revised so that trust produc-1 tions that are sold too high here and too cheap abroad could be equalized, completion would force th<- trusts to at least modify their exorbitant profits and the people I would be able to purchase more goods for the same amount of money and the mills and workshops could continue to run. Un- ■ der the circumstances will the voter endorse the “stand jat” policy, i Will they not rather vote for the , candidates who favor revising the tariff to wipe out his trust monoje ] oly? If it can be shown that there is one good trust that is only charg- i ing a reasonable profit that would be ruined by cutting off its protec. : tion from foreign competition. The ( sechedule.that shelters it might for i the time remain unchanged. When i President Roosevelt was swinging around the circle in 1902, he often fcp >ke of good and bad trusts, but neither he nor any other protectionist has ever exhibited a good ’ trust to an admiring public or offered any evidence that such ' exists. There has been plenty of evidence that nearly every trust is either sheltered by the tariff or is fostered by monopoly, and yet the Republicans, with ample time in the I last sesson of Congress, refused to investigate the plundering of the people and determined to stand by the trusts—Sentinel.

DUELING IN GERMANY. II la a (o.loni F irmly E*labll«he« la.iax the student*. In every Ger.ian university there is ! still dueling. a:.l there wifi be as long aa German u ..v»-,-- ••» exist Each ha* it* quota of fighting eiua*. which ; correspond to our own secret societies. I Every student is anxious to be invited to join one of these clubs, and. having been initiated, it is not iong before be l» aaaigried to a duel. The members of I these various organization* are distinguished by their colored bands and caps, as our fraternity men are by their Greek -letter badges. The most aristocratic of the fighting corps are ! the Borussia at Bonn, to which all the Hobenzciiern prin s • -• and the Saxo-Borns’-la at Heideiberg. of which most of the German prince* outside of the Hofienzoilerns are members. Other prominent fighting corps are the Itho nania of the University of Wurtzburg. Normania of Berlin. Franconia of Munich and the famous corps of Hannovera. In which Bismarck was a famous fighter, of Gottingen. Every corps has its own officers. its own laws, rules, regulations, but all are bound by a uxdl versa! "code of honor.” I The customs and ceremonials incident to these student duels are queer and peculiarly fascinating, the cos- ’ tames and fighting attire unique and interesting. The duels are of two kinds--the one an "honor duel.” where I one student has insulted another, and honor has to be satisfied by a little blood letting, but these are often not infrequently the result of purpose ! rather than of actual insult Just for the sake of a little fighting. The German student, like Pat is often "spoiling for a fight.” The other kind of duel is generally a more serious matter and is known as "by agreement." It is by a challenge from one corps to another and partakes of the tournament order. A list of dates is drawn up. and on a , certain day of each week a member of the one corps meets a member of the other for "die tnensur.”—Fritz Morri* in Illustrated Sporting News. FRIENDSHIPS. Those of Lon* Standinn and Those Made In letter Life. People make friends later than they used to. or at least so it seems to us. probably because they grow old in general later than they did. Friendship must change its nature with advancing years, but whatever makes later life full of activities and new beginnings causes friendships also to begin at even the later stages of the journey. Os two old men early friends who had I quarreled Coleridge said: They rood al t. the scars remaining. Like cliff* which had been rent asunder. Such an image of course gives powerfully the -ease of fixity, the opposite of the fluid potentiality of youth. Yet in the same poem we have the hint ffiat not a!) is glorious in youth: And constancy Ilves In realms above. And life is thorny, and youth la vain. Friendship becomes rid of some vanity, it becomes more noble ami satisfying to the deeper thoughts and ideals, when the roots of it grow back into a long distant past, and if we can keep the power of making a few new friends in age as we need them to supplement those inherited from youth, which grow fewer with the years, but riper and more select friendship should play a satisfying role far along toward , the end of life, the best role indeed of its career, if. as Emerson thinks, a lifetime Is needed for Its completeness, while an hour or a day is enough for toll or play. The late friendships of the unmarried, the childless ami the widowed have a special necessity and pathos of their own. for mates and children to a large extent at certain [•eriods naturally take the place of other friends.-Collier’s Weekly. An Interested Jnror. An instance of an interested jury- ' man was reported not long ago. A jury had been impaneled, when a man stepped forward and explained that, having been summoned to serve, be wished to be allowed to do so at once, as be had to attend a funeral at a distant place in the latter portion of tha week. A place was therefore made for him in the jury box. The case was tried, and owing to this man's obstinacy a verdict of acquittal was secured. It was subsequently discovered that the man had never been summoned to serve at nil and that the pri» oner was his friend—London Tit-Bits. Both Died na They Wiahvd To. Tennyson, who was a shy, reserved : man. could never understand Robert Browning’s love of society. He had been heard to remark that Browning would die In n white choker nt n dinner party. The two poets died as they would have wished to die—Robert Browning in the grand Palazzo | Ressonicco, with his son by his bedside. and Isi rd Tennyson in his beloved ; Suriey horn*, surrounded by Lis loved ones.
