The “Trusts” are beginning to ask "what business the people have in butting in und running this Government anyway?” Very unfortunate for Judge Swayne, the people of the country do not consider that the judgment of the Senate was very good, when it passed on this case. Kansas intends to establish oil refineries regardless of whether it is constitutional for her to do so. Kansas does not intend to pay any more attention to the Constitution than the Standard Oil Co, has been doing. Shoe manufacturers have decided that high heels must go. This is a bid for the trade of Chicago, where it will be remembered that the girls were afraid to hang up their stockings last Christmas, for fear Santa Claus would take them for grain sacks. The grand jury of Pulaski County has returned an indictment against ex-Auditor James N. Hayworth, a republican, charging him with embezzling SI,OOO county money. Ho asserts that the money was due as collected fees. The new law on vote buying inflicts a penalty upon both the buyer and seller of a vote—a fine not to exceed SSO and disfranchisement for ten years. This is one of the “good” laws passed by the late legislatiure, and it ought to have a tendency to prevent traffic in votes. For general gorgeousness President Roosevelt’s inauguration easily captures the medal. Cowboys, rough riders, Indians, Filipinos, Porto Ricans, Hawaiians, soldiers, civilians —all passed under the presidential eye. The idea seems to have been to show the on-looking foreign representatives that we have spread out and can make their little displays look sick when we want to. —Indianapolis Sentinel. Indianapolis Star: The Legislature has made a great mistake in yelding to the bankers’ lobby in regard to examination by the State Auditor. The private bankers have also, in our opinion made a mistake which they will live to regret. The demand for inspection was entirely fair and reasonable. Banking is a public business, and the banker is a trustee for the public. When men engaged in such a business, and acting in such a fidutiary capacity, bitterly fight all plans for inspection, they have only themselves to blame if a very unpleasant impression is created. No honest man ought to fear such supervision as it \vaa proposed to have in this case. And the dishonest man ought not to be exempt from supervision. The Legislature ought to have remembered that it represented the hundreds of thousands of people who have deposited in these banks, and not the few men who constitute the lobby that has been bo aggressive.

WASN'T PASSED, THOUGH.

Fowler Leader: The enemies of the anti-trust bill are making a desperate effort to show that it will interfere with labor onions, and prevent honestly managed corporations from doing what they need to do in order to successfully carry on their business. As a matter of fact the bill forbids nothing that is not illegal under existing laws, but only imposes penalties for the doing of that which is now forbidden by law. There will be no interference with any lawful action of any corporation. The Senate should understand this. The anti-trust bdl is all right, and should be passed.

AN UNFORTUNATE RECORD.

The record which the Republicans in the State Senate made on the anti-trust bill is, we think, certain to give the party a good deal of trouble in the future There is no way of escaping for it. Doubtless the gentlemen are trusting to the shortness of memory which the people so often show, but that will not serve them in this case. For the vote is a matter of record. The trusts in question is likely to become more and more dominant, and so there will be great and probably increasing curiosity to know how public men have voted on it. Party platforms will be judged, not by what they say, but by the way in which they have been lived up to in the past. In spite of the platform of the Republican party of Indiana, a Republican Legislature refused to enact a law designed to prevent “combinations in restraint of wholesome trade and commerce.” And Senator Hendee, one of the Republican leaders, had the hardihood to say: There is not a t'ltesHn the country, not a trust in the Unitpd States. And yet every time the word trust is uttered our Democratic triends raise a hue and cry. It is a foo! proposition. In other words, Senator Hendee condemned the platform of his own party, took the ground that there was no reason for making the declaration that it did make, and put himself in antagonism to the Republican President of the United States. There was not one argument advanced against the bill that is worth a moment’s consideration. For instance, Senator Wood of Tippecanoe denounced the bill as “socialistic.” When he made that foolish and indefensible statement he condemned his party for its enactment of the Sherman anti-trust law an which the defeated bill was based. Of course everyone understands that the so-called independent manufacturers who opposed the bill did so because they are making contracts and agreement in restraint of trade—are doing the very things which the big trusts are doing. That is all there is to it. The opposition of these men was the best possible argument in support of the measure. Yet it was this very opposition that led Senators to vote against the bill. The supposed interest of a few manufactures outweighed the interests of the people. It was the same as with the private banking bill —the people were forgotten, and party pledges were spurned. The argument was that you could not restrain the big combinations without hurting the little ones, and that therefore there ought not to be any effective regulation at all. But the unfortunate record is made, and it will not be forgotten.

NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW.

The Crumpacker automobile bill prescribes a speed limit of eight miles in the congested parts of cities, fifteen miles in the country. It also provides that machines shall be brought to a full stop at signal of the hand by drivers of teams and for the registration by automobilists of the State with the Secretary of State. The bill is satisfactory to autoists, as it establishes uniformity of speed rates through the state. No city or town is allowed to pass ordinances in conflict with the measure. A fine of from $1 to SSO is prescribed for violation of any of the provisions.

“See liere, young man,” said her father, “I always turn the lights out in this house by 10 o’clock. “Oh. we'll have the parlor light out before that,” replied Mr. Nervey coolly.—Philadelphia Press.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

General Grant'* OnaMnchter. Mlsa Rosemary Sartoria, whose engagement to J. M. Nelson, a prominent young broker of St. Louis, was recently reported, is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris and granddaughter of General Grant. This is the third time that rumor has announced her to wed under romantic circumstances. Four years ago, only a short time after her coming out in Washington, fashionable society of that city was interested by Miss Sartoris’ reported engagement to Jack Hibbert, a handsome young Englishman whom slie met on the shores of the Mediterranean. Miss Sartoris at last formally denied the truth of the report. Shortly thereafter it was rumored that she would wed Lieutenant John

ROSEMARY SARTORIS.

Wright, U. S. A., the son of the late General Marcus Wright, who had fought her grandfather in many a bitter battle during the civil war. This engagement, too, was promptly denied. Miss Sartoris is a beautiful girl, an accomplished musician and a talented linguist. Her debut in Washington five years ago was one of the most brilliant of the season’s functions. Young Nelson is related to Lewis C. Nelson, who is a brother-in-law of former Governor Lon V. Stevens of Missouri. Bonrke C'oekran'a Yarn. While Bourke Cockrau has few equals and hardly a superior in this country as an extemporaneous speaker, a great majority of his apparently impromptu utterances have been carefully prepared and memorized for days in advance of their delivery. “In dictating one of my recent speeches, subsequently delivered iu Tammany hall,” Mr. Cockrau confided to a friend the other day, “there was a sort of climax in which occurred the words. ‘This argument furnishes every kind of fuel that eloquence needs.’ "But on sending to my stenographer for a transcript of the speech imagine my emotions on seeing my climax transcribed. ‘This argument furnishes every kind of food that elephants need,’ meaning the G. O. P., I suppose.”— New Y ork Times. The Ruler of Saxony. Frederick Augustus, king of Saxony, is having considerable difficulty in getting possession of the youngest child of bis divorced wife, the former crown princess. The princess, now called Countess Montiguose, lives in Italy and refuses to surrender her daughter. Princess Anna Monica Pia. Princess Anna Monica Pia. who is twenty-one mouths old. was born after the crown princess eloped with Giron. But the laws of Saxony, considering all

FREDERICK AUGUSTUS.

the circumstances, compel King Frederick Augustus to recognize the little princess as his daughter. Lately the king sent Dr. Koerner. a Dresden lawyer, to demand the princess from her mother on the pretext that the ex-princess is unworthy to have the care of an innocent child. The king threatened to stop the ex-princess’ allowance unless she complied, hut without avail, and it is said he will take action iu the Italian courts. Frederick Augustus, who succeeded to the throne last year, was born in 1865. Some years ago he was. married to Princess Louise of Tuscany, but their domestic career was unfortunate, and about two years ago the princess eloped with Andre Giron, the tutor of her children. Subsequently she war, divorced by the king. Friends of the cx-prlneess maintain that her husband's harsh treatment was responsible for the scandal.

FOR THE CHILDREN

A History Game. The billowing is a pleasant little game to play with your friends or with the grown folks. Try it with the latter and see if they remember as much of their American history as they should. The initial or first letters of the words correspond with those of the character's name. When you have used this list make a new one: Perilous Rider—Paul Revere. Great Warrior—George Washington. Always Loyal—Abraham Lincoln. Worthy Peacemaker—William Penn. Harbor Hunter—Hendrik Hudson. Exceptional Ally—Ethan Allen. Considered Crazy—Christopher Columbus. Most Charming Widow—Martha Custls Washington. Before Foreigners—Benjamin Franklin. Religious Wanderer—Roger Williams. Sailed Confidently—Sebastian Cabot. Hated Black Slavery—Harriet Beecher Stowe. Unusually Successful General—Ulysses S. Grant. Marching Suitor—Miles Standlsh. The Monkey's Intelligence. “Nothing is more instructive," said John Lover, keeper of the Baltimore zoo, “than to watch young monkeys at play. These interesting creatures investigate everything with insatiable curiosity. They do tilings startling enough to convince me that they have almost human minds. “I had in India n young monkey that learned to put the key in the lock and unlock the chain that fastened it to a pole. Near this monkey there always lay a brush with a handle that unscrewed. Iu time the monkey learned to unscrew the handle and then to screw it in again. “A friend of mine in Kensington had a monkey that he kept chained just out of reach of [the hearth fire. This monkey learned to tear strips from newspapers, roll them into long tapers and light them in the flames.” The Tree'* Story. One day in summer about ten years ago I dropped from my mother in the form of a creamy white blossom. She was a weeping willow standing beside a beautiful lake in the woods. It was a happy thought of mine to be like her some day. Very soon 1 took root, and by the next winter I was a thriving young tree two feet high, standing beneath the loving my mother's broad branches, where only my friends, the sun and rain, ever saw me. In about six or seven years I had grown to a tall tree, and after that I gave shade to many happy groups of picnickers. In the fall all my finger shaped leaves turned a beautiful red and yellow color. But soon they all dropped off. and I was left alone. In a few weeks Jack Frost covered me with a white blanket for the rest of the winter. Hackey’* Sharp Teeth. While some children were on their way to school not far from the Christiana creek, in New Castle county, Delaware, they found a “ground hackey,” or ground squirrel. They put the little captive in a satchel and kept on to the schoolhouse. By and by the children decided to peep into the satchel that they might see what the hackey was doing—whether the prisoner was pining to betake itself to snowy fence corners or whether it was as "snug ns a bug in a rug.” The satchel" was opened; the children put their heads together to take a sly glance within, when, 10, the bag was empty! A hole in the satchel showed how the sharp little teeth of the hackey had set it free. Picture* Drawn In Fire. Dissolve saltpeter in cold water till the liquid is completely saturated with it. This can he seen by the fact that hits of the saltpeter will at last refuse to dissolve. Dip a tine brush or pointed stick into the solution and draw the outline of an animal or any other desired figure on a piece of thin paper. Use paper that has no printing on it. Let the paper dry thoroughly. The picture will be invisible then or almost so. Now hold it flat, light a match, blow it out and touch a part of the drawing with the glowing end. The saltpeter will catch fire at once, and the tiny flame will burn all along the lines of the drawing, leaving the paper intact. Quite a Lons Walt. Little Anna, two years and a half old, was told to pick up a pillow that had dropped to the floor. She tugged away at it with all h<¥ tiny strength, but it was too heavy. Looking up at her papa. she said, “I tan’t. papa.” “Why not, daughter?” he asked. “Too heavy,” was the reply. Then a bright thought struck her, and she added, “Wait till I gets big.” Color Didn’t Show. “Oh, Cecil, you have sat down to tea without having your hands washed*” “It doesn’t matter, auntie; I’m eating brown bread and butter.”—Scraps. CritldalnK the Baby. Small Harold after sizing up the new baby said, “Well, that kid hasn’t got any hair to comb, hut he’s got an awful lot of face to be washed.” The LlshtnlnK Kxpreaa.
