Promoters and organizers of trusts are out of a job. The trust craze is at an end. 1 1, is now a condition, not a theory, that confronts Wall street.

Therulinguf the Secretary of War that arm j officers must pay their debts does not seem either harsh or unreasonable, even though they have not the opportunities of developing an income such as have been enjoyed by the employes of the Postcffice Department. State Statistician Johnson says corn does not grow much when people have to sleep under blankets. Mr. Johnson should recollect that the ground is warm and the corn has been getting deeper roots while people were enjoying the sleep that will make them stronger for harvesting the crop. One hundred years ago Tuesday, the state of Ohio held an election for congressmen. The total vote at this election was 5558 republican and I960 federalist. The followers o Jefferson, who called themselves republicans, were largely in the ascendancy in the Buckeye state at that time. The total Tote of Ohio now is in excess of one million.

Daniel Frohman, the theatrical manager, believes that the days of the dramatized novel are few and that a new era of stage production, or rather a return to the old and legitimate drama is about to begin. This will be a much hoped for reform. It is a long time since the good ship Mayflower landed on these shores, and now it is proposed to commemorate the event by the erection of a stone shaft 200 feet high on the highest point of the Massachusetts coast in honor of the pilgrims craft.

The state board of health is going to make another attack on consumption with a view to diminishing the ravages of the disease and lessening the chances of contagion. Everyone will approve the efforts of the health authorities if they will only accomplish some good. The trouble Is that these 'announcements are never serious, and go little farther than the newspapers.

In view o'f the fact that chickens do not suffer from tuberculosis, Dr. Viguier de Maillane, of France, tried to cultivate the bad 1 us of consumption

Instead of retiring from all active business pursuits, Hon. M. A. Ilknna has just obtained control of a big implement factory and will at once proceed to tight the trust in the hope and expectation of favorljg farmers. The LaFayette Journal adds: Almost every day Mr. Hanna is furnishing some new proof that his mission is friendship to man and his purpose to do him good.'

An exchange says: The newspaper J man who succeeds expects to be maligned by every lawbreaKer, swindler and hypocrite, every carping critic and every lover of notoriety who is ignored, and in fact, by all persons who do not agree with him on public and private matters. The Dewspaper jnan who expects to go through life without being misrepresented and unjustly censured should make arrangements to die yoong. If the production and consumption of iron is an index of prosperity, this country never enjoyed greater prosperity than it does at present. It is now producing pig iron at the rate of 414,536 tons per week, and at last report there was on hand for sale in the open market only three days' supply. At the present time we are producing pig iron at the rate of over 21,000,000 tons per year, an amount equal to the total production last year of Gr3at Britain, Germany, France and Belguim. ' The report that '.'Fighting Bob" Evans, of the United States navy, commanding the big Asiatic squdron, bad seized a lot of Islands off the coast of Borneo that belonged to Great Britain, has caused some consternation in the English camp. The United States does not do business that way. however, and an explanation of the matter is given in a statement from Washington that these islands are a portion of the purchase from Spain under tbe Philipine treaty and their occupancy by naval representatives now Is altogether right aud regular.

Prof Edward A. Steiner of Grinnell college, who returned last week from

Bussia, says: "When I reached Kishineff there was no excitement; everything bad died down. The Jews were huddled together in their quarters, especially around the synagogue, when I arrived. They almost tore me to pieces, so eager were they for work of some kind. A big, strong man will work all day for an amount equal to 12 cents and will carry heavy burdens from one end of the city to another for about 5 cents. This Jewish problem is a big, festering sons. TbSre is more hunger typhus among the Jews in Bussia than anywhere else in the V7orld. The government is anxious dow to keep the Jew as a scapegoat Russian peasants are getting socialistic idc2S.

Tbe nitrate of soda, the important element In fertilizers, in sight in the recently discovered deposits in the Mojave desert, California, is said to be more than 20,000 000 tous. Hitherto the only nitrate beds known were those on the rainless coast of Chile.

Russia emphatically refuses to receive any petition or protest in regard to the Kischineff massacr. The Russian government has takeu steps to punish the leaders and prevent any further persecution of the Jews and this is all that could be expected in the matter.

Cleveland has promised to go to Chicago In October when the fishing season is over and make an address before a commercial club. He has promised not to talk politics. It was' not necessary to exact such a pledge from him. Grover knows his business, and don't you forget it." He is a very smooth proposition in political as well

as in financial matters. South Bend

State's Attorney Deneen, of Chicago, delivered an address before the State's Attorueys'.Association Wednesday night in which he analyzed and attacked the indeterminate sentence law and parole system as detrimental to justice and without any reformatory tendency. There was some difference of opinion among "members of the association, but a majority agreed with the speaker. Wall street Is worried ove? the financial stringency. The banks west of the Ohio river have $220,000,000 on deposit, and the West is permitting Wall street to do all the . worrying. - It may be that Colonel Bryan may have to run for president in the interests of downtrodden Wall street yet, and fill his speeches with fulmlnations against the arrogant money barons of the corn belt.

Circuit Attorney Folk, oi St. Louis, ha secured indisputable evidence that $200,000 was dumped into the Missouri legislature to buy votes enough to pass the bill by which a St. Louis street railway monopoly was secured. The company then got this money back and jpade a profit besides by watering the stock to the extent of $9,000,000. On account of the statue of limitation many corrupt legislators will escape prosecution.

Discussing the Importance of prompt justice in the trial of criminals, the Pittsburg Dispatch thinks that "one of the worst effects of a dilatory attitude on the part of the courts Is in confirming the belief of mobs that they can commit collective homicide with impunity." And by the same token courts that encourage or permit dilatory tactics in dealing with crime are to a certain extent morally responsible for the mob spirit it. en-

Prcfit-Sluring a Fallacy. At the annual meeting of the Ohio Bar association the other day J. W. Warrington, a prominent member of the Cincinnati bar, read a paper on industrial problems, and settled the labor question through some indefinable system of profit-sharing. The paper caused no little discussion among the lawyers, many of whom looked upon the suggestions therein as novel. Profit-sharing was introduced Into this section years ago by Governor James M. Ashley, and has been followed with varying degrees of success by many merchants and manufacturers. But in every case it is a deception. Instead of paying an employe what be is worth in cash, tbe employer underpays, and makes up the deficiency in steck of .uncertain value. The employe may be deceived for a time, but when tbe truth dawns on him, he loses the interest temporarily awakened by tbe thought that be was getting something for nothing, and the old relations are soon re-established: In an interview with Tbe Blade recently, a well known Toledo merchant told of his experience, nis firm formed a stock company several years ago, and in the process of reorgonization, thought to cement tbe relations with its employes by giving eVeryone who bad been in its service for a stated period one share of stock. For a few months the plan worked beautifully. As a further inducement to make the business a common cause, tbe company gave yearly outings to the entire force, or as much of it as could be spared without closing the house. Last year, when It came time for the outing, the company was surprised by the number wbo declined the Invitation. When pressed for a reason, an omploje said that he didn't propose donating his servicas to boost the firm's clever advertising scheme. "And, said The Blade's informant, "today there is just one share of stock outstanding, the rest having been bought in by tbe company at the request of the owners" There is but one solution to the labor problem. When employers pay their men what they are .worth and when employes are educated to know the value of the services and to become satisfied with receiving it, all the difficulties will adjust themselves. The grasping, grindiDg capitalist and and the ignorant laborer are responsible for industrial wars. Toledo Blade.

The country is less dependent on Wall street than it once was. We have of late had several street panics which have had little or no effect outside. Looking ät presentconditions, there Is no occasion for alarm, unless the business of the rest of the country has been conducted like that of Wall street. If men have been doing too large a business on borrowed capk tal, if prices are Inflated beyond a safe figure, and if too much capital has been tied up In permanent improvements, we may see something of the same thing that has happened In Wail street. So we should at lecit regard the flurry of Wednesday as a danger signal, and take precautior.3 to prevent further, trouble.

istrators and executors to go to the clerk's office and either allow, disallow or allow in part all claims that have bren filed against their estates for thirty days. If this is neglected the clerk must transfer such claims to the trial docket and the costs of the same must be charged by the court against such negligent administrators personally. The days for doing this are the first Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November. Not many administrators or executors have

appeared to take action upon claims

in this county, and it Is presumed they are not familiar with the law.

Will Admit World'i Trade. Secretary Hay has scored another victory. Largely through his efforts the Chinese and Russian governments have agreed to an open door policy in Manchuria, and only the details of the agreement remain to be worked out. Such a mastery bad Secretary nay over the Manchurlan question that had he desired be could have obtained practically a monopoly for the United States in trade concessions. He could not be tempted to leave his well-defined policy on the eastern question, and adhered to tbe original demand for an onen door for the commerce of the world. Minister Conger at Peking will be directed to incorporate the new agreement into the trade treaty he is now negotiating. It is believed that tbe concessions granted by China in Manchuria and Indorsed by Russia will go far toward postponing any open hostilities between Russia and Japan. While no definite announcement has yet been made of the new ports that will be opened, it is understood that Mukden, at the head of navigation of the Liao River, from which the caravans start for Siberia and the interior of Manchuria, and Ta Tung Kao, near the mouth of the Yalu River, and not from the Korean town ef "We ja, will be selected. Knapp the Murderer. The conviction of Alfred Knapp, at Hamilton, Ohio, has some local interest. This man who seems to have been a veritable fiend, was for several years a resident of Porter county and married one of bits wives In Indianapolis. There was no reasonable doubt of Knapp's guilt. His lawyers adopted tbe insanity line of defense. Which means that there Is no other, but the jury evidently thought that a man who was sane enough to plan and perpetrate crime as cunningly as Knapp did was sane enough to be punished. Strangely enough, such a monster as Knapp had the advantage of a fair and dignifiied trial without any thought whatever of mob violence, while there have been frequent outbreaks in various partsof the country, with very much less provocation than he gave. It is a satisfaction to know

that not only has the law been permitted to take its deliberate course in this case, but also that his life will pay for his horrible crimes. Advice to Professor Brown. The latest suggestion for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination is that of Professor Brown, of the Valparaiso normal school. But the professor will find that the school of political experience is a good deal more expensive than a course in bis normal institution, and that a harvest of barren regrets leaves a bad taste in the mouth, which sometimes lasts for years. A man who can turn out giaduates with the rapidity marking Professor Brown's work had better keep just right in the middle of the road and be will be happier and at least a more peaceful man. The governor's chair is not aneasy one and many a physical wreck has come from the place of honor, sometimes remaining until the end of his life practically unhonored and unsung. Let well enough alone, Professor Brown. In other words, stand pat, if you can gather from any of your students what that means Kokomo News.

Death of Mrs. Blaine. Mrs. James G. Blaine, died at the Blaine htmestead ih Augusta, Maine, Wednesday, July 15, aged 76, years. She -had been in an enfeebled condition for several months. Her maiden name was Harriet Stanwood, the daughter of a leading citizen of the State of Maine. She met her husband while both of them were teachers in a school in Kentucky. They were married at Pittsburg and later came to Augusta, where Mr. Blaine became editor of the Kennebec Journal. She leaves one son, James G. Blaine, two daughters. Mrs. Harriet , Beale and Mrs. Walter Damrosch, of New York, who were at her bedside during her last sickness. The funeral ,will be held at 4 o'cloclc on Saturday In Augusta and burial will be in Washington on Monday; Solved Cracked Egg Problem.' The Beyer Bros., it is reported, have solved the problem of saving cracked eggs, which Heretofore involved a heavy loss in handling "hen fruit." The eggs will be broken Into large cans. The cans when filled will be removed to the cold storage and frozen solid, and in this condition will be placed in the firm's refrigerator cars and shipped to large hotels and restaurants la the' East, arriving in practically as good shape as the other eggs. This saving will amount to a goodly sum annually. Warsaw Times. - Fcrd Uzs Ccrr.plttcd Fcrty Ytrrs. E. A.

Hebrews Vindicated. The Hebrews were guiltless. The Kishlneff massacre was a miscarriage of justice. The civilized world has known this; now Russia knows it. The truth comes through a confession of the murderer of the boy Doubassary. It , was his death,' charged to the Hebrews which led to the riotous butchery. The massacre might have come anyhow. A passion which found utterance so easily, probably was so strong that it would have been told in bloody deeds before any great length of time, but at a later time the authorities might have been more prepared or more willing to exert their power. As it was, Doubassary was murdered and because of his death untold numbers of tbe Innocent Hebrews died. His murderer, a gardener, has given himself up tbe authorities: and now, stung by censure of the entire world, Russia is making every effort to punish the mob leaders and her Governor at Kishlneff has exchanged visits with the leading Hebrews of the city to assure them of his and bis country's friendship. The Kishlneff massacre is but another example of the blind leadership of mobs, of the miscarriage of justice comes through mobs. Let law be firm and strong. Indianapolis Star.

The Toy Pistol Must Go. The whole civilized world shuddered with horror when Bulgarian revolutionary leaders threatened to scatter plague germs in Constantinople as a means of exterminating the Turkish tyrants. The very mention of the plot was terrifying, even though It was recogulzed that the threat was probably an Idle one, with little prospect of an attempt to put it into effect. Yet the United States tolerates each year the wholesale scattering of a disease fully as terrible as the bubonic plague. The Fourth of July has become a deadly festival of lockjaw. Last Tuesday alone its harvest was three deaths from lockjaw in Chicago and twenty-five In the whole country. The total of the "Fourth of July" dead thus far this year is 15 for Chicago and 138 for the country. The toy pistol is by far the most common cause of tbese deaths. The simplest considerations of public safety lead to the conclusions that the toy pistol must go Record-Ilerald.

French Favorites. La Duo De Vene is the name of a pair af French artists that have been brought- to this country by the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Shows. Tbey do a remarkably artistic "carrying act," in which the lady rides in a full-length ball gown. It Ii a difficult feat of equestrianism and is exceedingly pleasant to look at. They are also performers of a novelty act called Cranial Equilibrism, in which the lady is handled by her partner of i he sterner sex as if she were a puffball, nnd the act terminates by his standing her on her head and while she is In this break-neck position he runs around the show with her in the most reckless sort of a manner. It Is a wonder he does not break herneck, but, it is safe to say, be has not done so yet. They are certainly a most remarkable, pair and will be seep here with the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Enormous Shows United, on Thursday July 30.

- Will Know How to Cook. Emperor William, savs he wants his

daughter to be a womanly woman of

the old fashioned sort, ne wants her to not only understand -all about housekeeping, but he has fitted up a special kitchen . for her, where under the tutelage of competent cooks she is learning all the minor details of regular kitchen work, even to the washing of dishes in the proper manner. When she goes through this school of r ractical instruction the young lady will know all about kitchen labor even If she dose not have to follow it in after years. Her knowledge of it is worth everything to her as it is to all women. If things are not right in the kitchen .when she comes to preside over a house she can easily find out the reason why and know just how to make them right. South Bend Tribune.-

A Preacher's Strenuous Daughters. Rev. Martin Harris, a self-willed, hard-shell Baptist clergyman of Ohio, refused to consent to the marriage or his youoger daughter to a worthy man, on the pretense that she was needed In his own household to care for him, as he was a widower. He bad other daughters, though, who tt.ok a different view of the matter and one day when he least expected anything of the kind the older girls well armed with rawhides went at the old man and gave him such a lively larruping that he was only too glad to settle the controversy by giving his unqualified consent to the wedding. That minister is now proud of tils strenuous daughters.
