KOHOrOLIKSAHD 'TRUSTS."
M Alien CfnuKK, Feb. 27, 1888.
To the Editor of the AdtoCatk: As per
jour request, I will send you a fen lines
upon this subject. The question of mon
opolies and so-called "Trusts" has for some
time past received a considerable amount
of attention by the people of all grades and
conditions. The rich and powerful few
have combined and schemed as to the most
effective methods of squeezing every cent
possible out of every branch of legitimate
buslnesj and labor, to crush out competi
tion and Ignore the law of supply and do
maidj while the laborers and business men
of small means have been seriously con
cerned as to whether there Is no remedy
qnder eur system of Democratic govern
ment, to prevent by peaceable and legal
means, this apparent purpose to bleed and
rob the people by those mercenary combin
ations of unlimited powers and moans, called
trusts. Is It, the people ask, Inevitable
that. 'they must forever pay tribute to these
gigantic combinations and trusts, In such
amounts as the conspirators think the peo
ple can bear. I think the times are ripen
ing and the people are becoming sufficient
ly squeezed and educated for an astonish
ing uprising against all sorts of monopolies
and trusts. This is evident from the fact
that hills have been recently Introduced In
some of the State Legislatures and In Con
gress to check the growth of these so-called
"trusts." It remains to be seen whether
the chosen representatives of the people
have tho nerve and backbone to legislate
for the true interests of the people at large,
or whether the influence of corporations
and money will cause It all to end In talk
and fizzle.
A congressional committee Is examining
into the causa of the coal strike In Penn
sylvania, and the New York Senate, just
before Its recent adjournment, ordered Its
committee on general laws to make a search
ing examination Into the methods and or
ganizations of "Trusts," and report a law to
wipe them out. The investigation is at
Drssent eolnz on. It is a significant fact
worthy to noto, that all the corporation
Senators were opposed to the resolution ef
inquiry, and yet when it was pressed by a
few to a vote, they did not daro to vote
nine and tho Uredlt-Moblllcr In tho U.S.
Congress not many years ago. I firmly be
lieve that our government could do a great
many things that It has never yet done that
would greatly aid and benefit the people,
without becoming so "paternal" as to shock
anybody's political sensibilities. For In-
public spirited citizen will tee to ltthat
somo of the best canvases find their way to
tho Metropolitan Art Museum.
Itlillo reading tho foreign naws last week
my blood tingled nt some evictions In Gal-
wny anil Wickiow. My anger was some
what modified against our foreign cousins,
wiien I began to look at what wo were do
ing In New York and Ilrooklyn. ICcdnes-
day the lGth of February, was ono of the
bitterest days of the season, tho thermom
eter at high noon only marked a few de-

government had kept them, Instead of pay

This Is not a fanciful picture; I am mere
ly calling your attention to a few naked
facts. Ton noed not agrco with me J you
can draw your own conclusions. But I de
slro to caution your readers that they must
stand all those outrages peaceably, in the
name of the law, and pay up and look
pleasant and bo careful not to say anything
that sounds harsh and determined, because
If they do, they will surely be called An
archists. Tho fact that but few people can
tell them what Anarchy really and truly
means makes It all the more effective to
squelch them. They must not engage In
labor organlzatlens and strikes, because
strikes don't pay, so It will be ald, but
like free men take whatever pa the big
fellows conclude they must live u.i. That
will make them good christian citizens, from
the monopolists and cowards standpoint.
Be always docile and obedient to the pow

suffering at most) and then you will get
your reward In Heaven. Tho big fellows
will get everything they want here, If It is
the whole earth, and also the same heaven
ly reward as the submissive coward. I get
this notion about future rewards from tho
fact that the fellows engaged In the "trusts"
generally occupy choice front pews In the
fashionable churches.
Very Respectfully, Ac,

against It. This affords tho very best evi
dence that the servants of the corporations
in the New York Senate have a clear con
viction that public opinion Is now aroused
to such an extent that they are threatened
with the loss of their seats If they openly
side with monopoly.
It is Interesting to watch the newspapers
that are In sympathy with the corporations
and t note how they belittle these Investi
gations and call them farces; and all those
engaged in pushing these Inquiries forward
are called demagogues. In this Stato all
that class of newspapers are poking fun at
the congressional committee, now engaged
in investigating the great coal strike. And
when one of them gets off a supposed good
thing in the line of disparagement all the
rest of them eagerly copy It and spread It
broadcast- This often deceives honest,
well-meaning people.
In our State the party majority Is so one
sided that It may take some time yet before
our legislators will bow tu tne will of the
people. For Instance, when corporations
hays such a firm grip upon the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial departments of
the State government, that they can with
impunity violate the letter and spirit of the
constitution of our commonwealth, as they
haye done since Its adoption in 1873, then
what can we reasonably expect in tho way
of relief from the rapacity of these new
combinations? The people haye not yet
been able to elect a legislature that would
pass such laws as are imperatively necessary
to put in force and operation some of the
most salutary features of their own State
Constitution. Fifteen years should have
beea sufficient time to arouse the people
upon such an Important matter, but it was
not.
These dangerous combinations by mon
opolists who sigh for new worlds to con
quor, is but the natural culmination of the
system or tendency of late ye'ars towards
concentration, centralization and "strong
government," wiping out all small business
men, reducing the wages of labor to the
lowest point of subsistence, and "making
the rich richer and the poor poorer." A
middle class is not congenial to tbeso rav
ishing aggregations and soulless entitles,
and necessity compels them to crush out
competition regardless of the law of supply
and demand in the most arbitrary and des
potic manner, In order to enable them to
grind and squeeze out means from legiti
mate business and labor to pay dividends
on stocks ani bonds that have been watered
and diluted time and again. I haye not
tbt.tlme nor space to go Into this matter in
detail, but I will call your attention to two
notable Instances where this squeezing
could have been avoided by proper legisla
tion. The first telegraph line ever built In
this country was laTgcly built by money
furnished by the United States Govern
mnt, but with the evolutions ot our grand
and glerlously free country, Jay Gould and
his associates have gobbled It up, together
with other lines built with other people's
caoney,and after having thoroughly watered
it a goodly number of times by increasing
Its stock and bonds, -without putting in a
dollar, the people must now. pay large tri
bute to a corporate trust combination for
its use not an honest, fair rate, but just
exactly what the plunderers choose to ask.
If the government had bought out Mr.
Morse at that early period of our history,
the people might just as well have a tele
graph system ot their own to-day as a post
office system. Instead of paying big divi
dends for the benefit of a few millionaires
on fictitious capital) we could send tele
grams of ten words for about fiye cents in
stead of paying twenty fiye cents as we
now must, when we are obliged to use it.
The Pacific railroads were built by private
parties with money realized from the sale
of government bonds and lands, and after
paying themselves fabulous salaries for
building them, and then keeping them.and
robbing the government ot thirty-three
millions extra, they now complain because
Congress Instituted an investigation to as
certain whether all the people's money and
Usds are lost or not. These facts consti
tute the esseace of Ex-Oov. Pattlson's re
port of the Pacific Hallway "Commission, to
the United States Cougress. Again, let me
ask, if the government had the right to so
generously furnish those hundreds of mil
lions in bonds and millions ot acres of pub
lic knds U build these rallroads,why could
it not Just as well build them and operate
ibem for the benefit of the people. As it
now is what benefit do the people ot the
United States get fer this fabulous expend
' Iture ot.tbelr money and donation ot public
Special to the Camion Advooatk.
Once more Messrs Etrby it Sutton of the
American Art Galleries, have laid New
York under an obligation that It would bo
difficult to estimate. It Is not that their
present collection of pictures so far sur
passes any of those which have preceded It,
or that It has any marked phenomenal
works of art, but for general excellence It
Is of tho very highest standard through and
through.
I am not one who mourns the continual
breaking up of magnificent and valuable
collections. The opportunity of studying
these splendid works Is In itself an educat
ion, and it is safe to say that a hundred
people have seen and enjoyed them in the
American Art Galleries to the ono who
eyer saw them In the hands of the original
possessors. When the great Morgan col
lection was on exhibition there the Gallery
was visited by at least 100,000 people. Dur
ing Mrs. .Morgan's life It Is doubtful If they
were ever seen by 2,000. The Stewart
collection while in Stewart's possession
might just as well have been In the Cata
combs, but when placed on sale by Messrs.
Kirby & Sutton It attracted a multitude
who received more pleasure and profit from
an lioui'a visit to tho American Art
Galleries than Mr. Stewart or his friends
had received In all their 11 res. Tho same
may be said of tho Seney collection and
numerous others which haye been entrust
ed to tho care of these enterprising gentle
men. And It is not only the fact that they
have had yalluable collections of pictures
on exhibition, but they haye become the
acknowledged medium between the strug
gling artist and the wealthy purchaser, se
curing for the artist tho reward for bis
genius which he would have found it
difficult to have obtained without their
aid, and for the purchaser the full value of
his money measured by the highest canons
of art. It Is this absolute honesty -of pur
pose between the buyer and seller which
has glyen them their present business
standing, and this, connected with the fact
of their Bice discrimination In the selection
of subjects which seeks out the pure, the
grand, the educational, the Instructive,
have made the American Art Galleries one
of the most delightful places to spend an
hour to be found In the city.
In the present collection there are 200
pictures, eyeiy ono ot wnlch comes up to a
yery. high standard of art. In the brief
space that I am compelled to give to each
subject It Is almost Impossible to particular
ize, but "Feeding Time," by Van Marcke,
"Tho Orphans," by Lafon, and the "Arrest
of Charlotte Corday" seem to be especially
worthy of mention. There Is also a por
trait of Charlotte Corday so different from
anything ever seen or conceived of her on
this side of the Atlantic that, It It Is true to
the life, It completely revolutionizes all
preconceived Ideas In regard to this re
markable heroine. The face is not un
comely, but it lacks the lines of fierce de
termination, which we have always associ
ated with Charlotte Corday. The face that
lives In our memory ot the heroic assassin
ot Marat was cold as Ice and fixed as fate.
Measured by any standard, tho features
were beautiful; yet It was a kind of Satanic
beauty that man fears, but novor loyes.
The portrait on exhibition is by Edouard
Rlchter ot Paris, and the simple fact ot Its
belonging to William Scbaus, the celebrated
art connolsieur, gtyes It a stamp of worth
equal to the goldsmith's mark on sterling
sliver. But It Is the face of a human, sen
suous woman. Instead of the thin, firm
lip and hard-knit brow, the lips are full
and generous, intended more tor love than
hate, and looking on that face, It Is Im
possible to believe that Its owner could
eyer have nerved herself to become tho
executioner of even such a hateful tyrant
as Marat.
The Wine Taster, the Miser and a Monk
In a wine cellar, aro works of superlative
excellence. And vhlle not In the general
sale, I observed on an easel a landscape by
the veteran artist George Innes, which
twenty-five or fifty years hence will bring
its weight In gold. It is true that from the
present collection there is an absence of
great names, for which, In many instances
the art world has paid so much and fre
quently got so little; but this collection,
while perhaps lacking the Imperial stamp,
Is rich In golden promise, and here we see
the hepef ul work of those who at no dis
tant day are to fill the vacant places of
Markart, Munkaesy,DeNeuvl!le,Messonier,
Diaz, Jules Breton, Caret, Beaugeron .and
the other names which art has conpnlzed
In the present generation. Hans Markart's
Diana's Hunting Party is still to be seen
Into the streets for the non-payment of
sayen dollars, and I may hero add that the
Irish landlords of the tenement houses are
tho most merciless eylctors In the city.
a icrrioie accident marred the progress
ot tho elevated road In Brooklyn. The der
rick used In hoisting the cross-beams and
pillars fell on top of a street car killing the
driver, the horses and several passengers,
and wounding a number of others. A slm
liar accident occurred to tho same company
a few wocks ago without such a fatal re
sult, hut instead of taking warning they
have gone bllndljTou till It has led to the
present fatal calamity.
Almost like a ghost from the other world
Jonathan IT. Green, tho reformed gambler,
dropped down on Brooklyn last week. Long
years ago I recollect one night sitting in a
fashionable church, which was packrd to
suffocation, while I listened In breathless
wonder to tho startling revelations of the
Reformed Gambler. Ills books sold like
wildfire, and extra zest was added to their
publication by tho rumor that tho daring
convert was to bo assassinated by the des
perate vllllns whose thieving secrets he ex
posed. At that tlmo Mr. Green seemed to
be on the high road to fortune, for he was
almost as successlul on the platform as
John B. Gough. But years rolled on and
he passed out of sight and was forgotten,
and now he turns up In the City of Churches
a poor, wretched, old man of seventy.
wrecked and penniless, seeking a place to
die.
Lent is upon us, but it is far from a sea
son of feasting and prayer. A theatrical
manager told me that he never bad such
fine business as he had during the past
week. On Ash Wednesday all
of the several cities, as a place for holding !
tho convention, It was at last decided that I
the convention should be held In St. Louis
on tho Clh day of June. This decision was
a bitter disappointment to tho army of
politicians from California, who came to
Washington to urge tho selection of San
Francisco as tho place forJioldlne the con
vention. They inado a determined effort
to carry tho day, and for a time seemed
likely to succeed, but were at last defeated
by a combination entered Into by the repre
sentatives of tho Interests of tho Eastern
cities.
Tho bill providing for changing the day
for the Inauguration of the President from
tho 4th of March to April 30th Is not likely
to be acted upon during tho present session.
It was called up In the Senate the other
day, and It was decided by a largo majotlty
vote to postpone action "Indefinitely."
This Is In effect, a final disposition of the
bill and It Is probable that wo will continue
to inaugurate our Presidents on tho 4th of
March. II.

From Washington: NewsNotes.
Special to the Cajiuon Advocate,
Washington D. 0., Feb. 27th. 1888
Mn. Editor: Only a few short weeks
ago we wrote you about the happy com
pletion by Mr. W. W. Corcoran of his
eighty-ninth year and of the numerous
presents received from his many friends,
Jo-day wc have to record his death, after a
verr brief Illness. Ills life was full of
charitable works, and many Institutions,
which owed their inception and success to
his generous, aid will keop before coming
generations the memory of Washington's
noble hearted philanthropist,
Mr. Corcoran was born In this city In
1703, and here his whole life was spent.
lie early entered the banking business and
soon became one of the most prosperous
financiers In the country. It is said that
he leaves an estate valued at about $3,600,'
000 but more than that sum has been glv
en away. The Corcoran Art Gallery and
the Louise Home were wholly built and
endowed by him and ono of his latest
charities was to cause the remains of John
Iloward l'ayne, the author of "Home
Swec' Home" to bo brought from Tunis
and placed In a tomb in Oak 1T111 cemetry
and to erred there a suitable monumenf In
his memory. Mr. Corroian leaves no
children. Ills heirs will probably be his
three grand children who haye lived with
him for many years.
Washington's birthday was very generally
observed. All of the Government Depart,
ments and the various places of business
throughout tho city were closed. The
Veteran Firemen's Association and military
companies paraded tho principal streets In
the morning. The day was all that could
have been desired, and the principal streets
were crowded with people during the en
