POTTER THE TRUST QUESTION. The trust question, (or to be more accurate, the regulation of corporations to prevent abuses) is the question which more than any other is the real issue before the people in national politics. We have had seven years of fighting and" the fighting is not yet over. What is It all about? It is the fight of the people against the idea of special privileges to corporations. To hear the democratic views on the subject, one would gain the idea that the trust or the amalgamation of wealth for great business enterprise is confined to this country. But as a matter of fact there are quite as many trusts abroad as at home. The growth of the corporation as a business unit is a matter of universal history the world over. It is a fallacy to pretend that .these great forces are all evil or that they can be exterminated by law or that if they were ex terminated that It would be beneficial to the world. In considering the history of the growth of institutions it has been seen by all students of the question that extermination of business has been a failure that regulation is the only true relief. There have always been abuses in business whether it was in the merchants guild of the middle ages or the modern corporation. It has always been there, for man is human. The question of abuses and Illegal proceedings of great corporations, resolves itself into merely a matter of compelling them In as far as possible to do business without hurt to the public. It is unfair to assume that the republican party is the protector of abuses which are universal, because

it is the protector and nourisher of business. The republican party as Ellhu Root said. Is no more responsible than the man who plants cotton is for the boll weevil, or the man who plants fruit trees is for the San Jose scale. If the republican party had not been active in its steps against the depredations, there would be Just case for complaint Just as one does not kill a man to kill the disease from which he suffers and with which he imperils his fellow human beings, so the trusts must be regulated. The proposition of Bryan to license corporations when they do 23 per cent of the business and after licensing them, to let them proceed until they do 50 per cent Is ludicrous. How would the country know when the business was twenty-five per cent by a census. But such a census would be unwelldy. By the time the census was made the trust would have been away and gone split up and distributed into smaller ones defying the government. And then what happens the trust takes out a license. Investigations go farther until the fifty per cent mark is reached. Does anybody seriously think that corporation lawyers could not derive ways to get around this If it inconvenienced the corporation. The whole idea is clumsy and ineffectual. The gathering of statistics

under difficulties would render it quite j as inactive as a traction engine in pursuit of a rabbit. The regulation must be done along I lines already marked out Witness the rate bill of Theodore Roosevelt. What Is wanted is laws which will stop rebating and laws which can be I easily enforced. The law must not be clumsy. There must be legislation which will remove the excrescences of business and restore a healthy condition. The republican party paused the only legislation which was capable of enforcement the Sherman anti-trust law. That law has been the instrument in a fight which Theodore Roosevelt has waged. That the fight is not yet over, does not mean that the fight is lacking'in results. The democratic party opposed the Sherman an-ti-trust law. It had a chance to enforce it. The republican party has done all that has been done in this regulation. If Taft is elected it will go on along the same lines to a successful conclusion. The democratic pose as the enemy of the trusts Is commendable, but it is not responsible for what has been done nor are the remedies which it proposes effective. I HOW NOW, WALTER? Indiana Is to be stirred up tomorrow over the special session of the legis lature. The county local option law will assuredly come before the repre sentatives of the people for action, if Gov. Hanly carries out his program. If the county local option law is passed It must be passed by republican votes. What is our representative going to do? What is Walter Ratliffs stand In the matter? When last heard from, Mr. Ratliff was uncertain. "I have no statement , to make." Why not? Is Mr. Ratliffi's position in the past so invulnerable that he does not need to? Is anybody quite sure what he will do? If Mr. Ratliff is sincere in his statement that he endorses the republican platform, he must sincerely desire the passage of the bill if it comes up for action. But this is merely guesswork. The republican party need have no fear in the coming election if it is only sincere in its actions. That county local option plank is the one best bet the republican party has. Is iti going to throw it away? Therefore it is up to Mr. Ratliff to support the measure when It comes up. Any protestations of his will be unavailing. He will be a political dead bird if he comes out against It He can not possibly be elected if he helps to defeat county local option. If he doesn't know it, now here is a geometrically straight tip. Now is Walter Ratliffs chance to show that he is sincere now is his time to vindicate himself. Mr. Ratliff will gain the support of the elements which now Imperial his re-election if he will come out squarely for county local option and stay there. His chances of re-election will then be good. It is the duty of every republican legislator to stand by the plank In the state platform and to defend the party from charges of insincerity. Foley's Orlno Laxative Is a new remedy, an Improvement on the laxatives of former years, as It does not grips or nauseate and is pleasant to take. It is guaranteed. A. G. Luken & Co." SPECIAL.

DIAMONDS.

By Louis Tracy, Author of "Winas of the Morning," "The Pillar of Light." Etc.

Xw COPYRIGHT. 1904. By He opened the door, but was rudely brought back to a sense of his surroundings by the suspicious question of a shopwalker: "Now, boy, what do you want here?" The unconscious stress in the man's words was certainly borne out by the contrast between Philip, a social pariah in attire, and the wealth of gold and precious stones cut off from him by panes of thick glass and iron bars. What indeed, did this outcast want there? Confused by the sudden demand and no less by its complete obviousness. Philip flushed and stammered: "I er only wished to obtain some information, sir," he answered. Like all others, the shopman was amazed by the difference between the boy's manners and his appearance. "Information?" he repeated In his surprise. "What information can wo give you?" The wealth of the firm opprossed this niaa He could only sprnk in accents of adulation where the shop was concerned. Philip produced tna white pebble. "What is this?" be said. The directness of the query again took his hearer aback. Without a word, he bent aud examined the stone. Professional instinct mastered all other considerations. "You must apply to that department." He majestically waved ills hand toward a side counter, Phiiip obeyed silently and approached a small, elderly personage, a man with I clever, kindly eyes, who was submit- j ting to microscopical examination a number of tiny stones spread out on :i chamois leather folding cose. He quietly removed the case when his glance rested on the boy. "Well?" ho snid blaukly, wondering why on earth the skilled shopwalker had sent such a disreputable urchin to him. Philip was now quite collected in his wits. He held out the pebble, with a more detailed statement. "I found this," he said. "I thought that it might be valuable, aud a friend advised me to bring it here. Will you kindly tell me what It is?'' The man behind the counter stared at him for a moyient, but he reached over for the stoue. Without a word he placed it beneath the microscope and gave it a very brief examination. Then he pressed it against his cbcek. "Where did you get it?" he asked. "I found it where It had fallen on the pavement." "Are you sure?" "Quite sure." "Strange!" was the muttered comment, and Thilip began to understand that his meteor possessed attributes hitherto unsuspected. "But what is it?" he inquired after a pause. "A meteoric diamond." A meteoric diamond?" "Yes." "Is it worth much?" "A great deal. Probably some hundreds of pounds." Philip felt his face growing pale. That dirty-white, small stone worth hundreds of pounds! Yet in his pocket he bad twenty-nine other specimens, many of them much larger than the on chosen haphazard for Inspection, and in the back yard of his tenement lay heaps of them, scattered about the pavement like hailstones after a shower, while the meteor itself was a compact mass of tbem. He became somewhat faint and leaned against the glass case that surmounted the counter. "Is that really true?" was all that he could say. The expert valuer of diamonds smiled. His first impulse was to send for the police, but he knew that meteoric diamonds did fall to earth occasionally, and he believed the boy's story. Moreover, the thing was such a rarity and of such value that the holder must bo fully able to account for Its possession before he could dispose of it So his tone was not unkindly as he replied: "It Is quite true, but if you want to ascertain its exact value yon should go to a Hatton Garden merchant, and he, most probably, would make you a fair offer. It has to be cut and polished, you know, before it becomes salable, and I must warn you that most rigid inquiry will be made as to how It came into your hands." "It fell from heaven !" was the wholly unexpected answer, for Fhlllp was shaken and hardly master of his faculties. "Yes, yes, I know. Personally, I believe you or you would be in custody at this moment Take it to Messrs. Isaacstein & Co., Hatton Garden. Say I sent you Mr. Wilson is my name and make your best terms with Mr. Isaacstein. He will treat you quite fairly. But, again, be sure and tell the truth, as he will investigate your story fully before ha is satisfied as to its accuracy." Philip, walking through dreamland, quitted the shop. He mingled with the jostling crowd and drifted Into Farrington road. "A diamond worth hundreds of pounds !" he repeated mechanically. "Then what is the whole meteor worth, and what am I worth?" CHATTER IV. THE keen, strong March wind soon blew the clouds from his brain. He did not hurry toward Hatton Garden. He sauntered, rather, with his right hand clinched on the tiny parcel in his pocket the parcel which had suddenly been endowed with such magic potentialities. It was the instinct to guard a treasure of great value that led to this Involuntary action. He was preoccupied, disturbed, vaguely striving to grasp a vision that seemed to elude his exact comprehension. What did it all mean? Was it really possible that he, Philip Anson, orphaned, beggared, practically a starving, traf p should have the richjss mt

EDWARD J. CLODE. J e-e-"eSee-Gofconda' showered upon him In this mad fashion? If the smail stone he had shown to the jeweler were worth hundreds, then some of those In the paper were worth thousands, while as for the stone in the back yard of his house well. Imagination boggled at the effort to appraise it The thought begot a sense of caution, of reserve, of well reasoned determination not to reveal his secret to anybody. Perhaps it would be lest not to take Messrs. Isaacstein & Co. wholly into his confidence. He would simply show thera the stone he had exhibited to Mr. Wilson and take the best price they of'fered. Then, with the money in bis possession, he could effect a much needed change in his appearance, visit them again, and gradually increase his supply of diamonds until he had obtained more money than he could possibly siend during many year?. Above all else was it uecessnry that his meteor should be removed to u safer place than Johnson' Mews. Philip had hcruples about appropriat1:ig it. Ixmls of the manor and crown risri'.ts he had never he.ird of. His mother, watchinc; hi:-; ev?ry action from some Elysian liHs'lt. had ftut the diamond loaded oiensetiger a t; token o" her love r.r.d care. It w.;s his, and no man should rob him of it. It behooved hiui to be sparing of explanations and sturdy in defense of his property. A good deal depended on the forthcoming interview, and he wished he could convert a small fraction of the wealth in hi-? pucUei into a few honest ! pciinie. wirh tbo kind's he:;d on tueui. lvi:n hungry njrain. His br -akfast was not of ample proportions, and his meals of yesterday had been of Vm scanliost. It would be well to faca ihs t'!;.mond merchants with the eacy confidence that springs from a rationed appetite. Yet how to niannce. it V Ho was sorry now he h;id not borrowed a sixpence from O'Brien. The old soldier would certainly have lent it to him. He even thought of returning to the Mile End road to secure the loan, but he happened to remember that the day was Saturday, and it was probable that the Hatton Garden otiices would close early. It was then nearly 11 o'clock, and he could not risk the delay of the loug, double Journey. At that Instant a savory smell was wafted to him. He was passing a small restaurant where sausages and onions sizzled gratefully in large tiu trays and pork chops lay in inviting prodigality amid rich, brown gravy. The proprietor, a iortly and greasy mau with bald head and side whiskers, was standing at the door exchangiug views as to business with his next door neighbor, a greengrocer. Philip, bold In the knowledge of his wealth, resolved to try what he could achieve on credit. He walked up to the pair. "I have not got any money just now," he said to the restaurant keeper, "but if you will let me have something to eat I will gladly come back this afternoon and pay you double." Neither man spoke at first. Philip was always unconscious of the quaint discrepancy between his style of speech and his attire. He used to resent bitterly the astonishment exhibited by strangers, but today he was far removed above these considerations, and he backed his request with a pleasant smile. The fat man grew apoplectic and turned his eyes to the sky. "Well. I'm" he spluttered. The greengrocer laughed, and Philip blushed. , "Do you refuse?" he said, with his downright manner and direct stare. "Well, of all the cool cheek" The stout person's feelings were too much for him. He could find no other words. "It is a fair offer," persisted the boy. "You don't think I mean to swindle you, surely?" "Well, there! I never did!" But the greengrocer intervened. "You're a sharp lad," he guffawed. "D'ye want a Jobr "No," was the short reply. "I want something to eat." "Dash my buttons, an you're a likely sort of kid to get it too. In you go. I'll pay the bill. Lord lumme, it'll do me good to see you." "Mr. Judd, are you mad?" demanded his neighbor, whose breath bad returned to him. "Not a bit of it The bloomln kid can't get through a bob's worth if he bursts himself. 'Ere, I'll bet you two bob 'e pays up." "Done! Walk In, sir. Wot'll you be pleased to 'ave, sir?" Thilip's indignation at the restaurant keeper's sarcasm yielded to his wish to see him annihilated- later in the day. Moreover, the sausages really smelt excellently, and he was now ravenous. He entered the shop and gave his orders with a quiet dignity that astounded the proprietor and hugely delighted the greengrocer, who. in the intervals of business, kept peeping at him through the window. Philip ate steadily, and the bill amounted to ninepence, which his ally paid cheerfully. The boy held out his band. "Thank -you, Mr. Judd." he said frankly. "I will return without fall. I will not insult you by offering more than the amount you have advanced for me, but some day I may be able to render you good service in repayment." Then he walked off toward the viaduct steps, and Mr. Judd looked after him. "Talks like a little gentleman, 'e does. If my little Jlmmle ad lived e would ha' bin just about his age. Lord lumme, I 'ope the lad turns up again, an' not for the sake of the bloomln' ninepence, neither. Tomatoes, mum? Yesm.

to "tiie general' i.uinlo in Engiana, but rather that he wlthed to rehearse carefully tho programme to be followed with Mr. Isaacstein. With a sagacity unlocked for in one of his .veal's, he decided that the meteor should not be mentioned at all. Of course the diamond merchant would Instantly recognize the stone as a meteoric diamond and would demand its earthly.pcdigree. Philip resolved to adhere to the aimple statement that it was his own property aud that any reasonable inquiry might he inaue in all quarters where meteoric diamonds were obtainable as to whether or not such a stone was miseintr. Meanwhile he could obtain from Mr. Isaacstein a receipt acknowledging its custody and a small advance of money far below its real worth, leaving the completion of the transaction until a later date. The question of giving or withholding bis address if it were asked for was a difficult one to settle offhand. Perhaps the course of events would permit him to Keep Johnson's Mews altogether out of the record, and a more reputable hablta tion would be "provided once he ha6 the requisite funds. Thinking he had successfully tackled a!) the problems that would demand solution, Philip wasted no more time. He entered Hatton Garden and had not gone past many of its dingy houses until he saw a large brass plate bear ing the legend, "Isaacstein & Co., Diamond Merchants, Kimberley, Amsterdam and London." He entered the office and was instantly confronted by a big nosed youth who surveyed him through a grille with an arched opening In It to admit letters and small parcels. "Is Mr. Isaacstein In?" said Philip. "Oah, yess," grinned the other. "Will you kindly tell him I wish to see him?" "Oah, yess." There was a Joke lurking somewhere in the atmosphere, but the young man had not caught its drift yet. The gaunt and unkempt visitor was evidently burlesquing the accent of such gentle people as came to the office on business. Philip waited a few seconds. The boy behind the grille filled in the interval by copying an address into the stamp book. "Why do you not tell Mr. Isaacstein I am here?" he said at last. "Oah, yess. Y"ou vll be funny, eh?" The other smirked over the hidden humor of the situation, and Philip understood that if he would see the great man of the firm he must adopt a more emphatic tone. "I had better warn yon that Mr. Wilson of Messrs. Grant & Sons, Ludgate Hill, sent me here to see Mr. Isaacstein. Am I to go back to Mr. Wilson and say that the oflBce boy refuses to admit me?" There was a sting In the description, coming from such a speaker. "Look 'ere," was the angry retort. "Go avay und blay, vil you? I'm plzzy." Then Philip reached quickly through the little arch, grabbed a handful of shirt, tie and waistcoat and dragged the big nose and thick lips violently against the wires of the grille. "Will you do what I ask or shall I try and pull you through?" he said ouietly. (Continued.) IS OFF DUTY. Passenger Conductor J. W.

WISH TO PUNISH DIMINUTIVE SOUTH AMERICAN RULER FOW HIS MANY INSULTS, BUT CANT UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS. The Hague, Sept 17. Ostensibly at the request of Italy and Germany, the Netherlands government will soon Invite the powers represented at the secend Hague Peace Conference to participate In a special peace meeting at The Hague next year for the elaboration of a draft of a universal treaty. This announcement has created much speculation in the diplomatic world as to the real purpose of the meeting. Holland being unable to exact an apology from President Castro of Venezuela, for the recent Insult in ousting the Dutch consul is on the eve of using force in bringing the South American republic to terms. As the Monroe doctrine compels the United States to stop any territorial conquests. Holland will secure but little benefit by such action, except to check Venezuela trade for a time. It is learned from high authorities that Holland desires to seize Venezuelan territory to secure the payment of an indemnity. Hence the special confer-
