THE KINO OP "TRUSTS."
The people of this country may well In
quire, 'UP01f WHAT MBAT DOTIITniS.OUIt
CA.sba.ii, feed?" Stimulated by tlie suc
cessful squeezing; process of the numerous
wthor Trusts. that Is by tbe food upon
which Ihsj fed, H Is said to be now pro
posed by certain speculative railroad mag
nates, to organize .Railway Trust to coyer
ftU the lines between tbe Mississippi Valley
ad the Rocky Mountains,
This vast scheme is not only plausible,
but quite natural; and shows to what height
mbltloc and creel may lead. But It Is
pparently oier-looVed that, "by that sin
fell the asglxs." And so as to ;avold
the charge of conspiracy to defraud tbe
public, and to maintain an outward show
of being common carriers, the new arrange
nent is to be called "a Clearing House."
It Is one of those attractlvo schemes that
only capital and brains can devise, and it
Is proposed under this cloak to mako an
arbitrary arrangement of rates so as to In
sure "ALL THAT TUB TRAFFIC WILL
bab;" but Involves a child-like con
fldence in the slavish submission of a n&
tlon of freemen, that its Instigators can
hardly be expected to hold forever at bay
If railroad lines are to continue to be t
means of public service and convenience,
tbelr managers and Incorporators must be
held to their well-defined legal functions as
common carriers. It would not be sound
public polecy t allow them to be perverted
to uses antagonistic to the public good
Bat says a forceful writer: "It is evident,
in the light of the decision of the New York
Court of Appeals in the Broadway Kail
road case, that existing legal methods and
restrictions are of no canlculat avail to
control chartered corporations which ma)
have usedbe powers conferred upon them
In a manner detrimental to mo jiuuuc
Urest"
The great question of the day Is, how
cam corporations and Trusts bo properly
contrelled and remilstedr Among the
writers of note, who have recently dli
cussed the economic and social aspect of
Trusts, is the Political Economist, Mf.
George Qiinton, In the September number
of the Political Sclsnce Quarterly. He In;
atsta upon separating tbe economic char
aster of the trust from all questions as to
the MOBAL AMD PERSONAL ACTS OF THE
Tbust makaoeks, axd as to the use ob
abuse or Trust powers, thus limiting
his argument to a discussion of the abstract
economic conception of tbe Trust as the
natural successor to the corporation b
combining corporations, just as tbe corporat
ion has succeeded less advanced agencies
bv absorbing and combining them. That
la to sav. as I understand him, that com
bination of capital and brains, when
employed as to advance the public weal In
all respects, they are highly beneflcal
agencies. But here is the rub, that has
cot heretofore been the purpose and scope
of Trusts. By their acts and fruits we
know them. During the recent Presiden
tial campaign Hon. James G. Blaine form'
ulated the famous dictum that "Trusts are
largsly private affairs." Ac, Hadue quali
fied it somewhat as Mr. Uunton did, the
flood of adyerse criticism which followed
lte promulgation, could not have come.
For many years our statesmen and people
have derided England's national polity as
geyerment by an Aristocracy. The Eng
llshStaantlngly retorted that this country
was governed by lawyers. But within a
few years our masters have changed, and
we are now governed by corporations, syn
dlcates and Trusts. And all who are not
within their charmed circles are out "hew-

Vauch Chunk, Dec. 12, 1888.
Thb Elvira Telegram last Sunday,
December Oth, contained a good portrait
with a complimentary sketch of District
Attorney Bapsher, of Jtfauch Chunk. His
Informant should have told blm that Mr.
Bapsher was a prominent candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania in 1837, but not at present. The
Telegram la a little late in this particular
Instance, but othsrwtss correct and to be
commended.
If Jimmy Maxoy, of the Lansford
Jleetrd, wants to convince his people by
practical demonstration, that the coal oil
street lamp is a nuisance and a fraud, let
him hie himself hither with a representa

nd otten when they are, they fall to reflect
through the glass at a distance of a dozen
yards. The coal oil lamp I ob, tbe poor,

"Official changes and appointments will

kaow of General Harrison, we are quite
core he will not be drawn or forced in this
matter beiond his convictions of duty, and
that the office seekers who attempt to crowd
him will not profit by It. Wo are strongly
Inclined to believe that In tbe next admin

for office will net be the first to be recog-
sued. Their very forwardness and anxiety

BROADBRIM'S N. Y, LETTER.
A few months ago and It looked as if
Doctor McQlynn, as a religious or political
factor, was as dead as a door nail; but to
day things have materially changed, and a
gradual revolution appears to be going on
which may eventually rend In pieces the
Catholic Church of tho United States.
Whatever bis faults may liavo boen, tbero
is no question but Father McGlynn was
very much beloved by bis congregation,
nis christian character has never been
questioned, even by bis most virulent foes,
and tho worst that could ba laid to his door
was a stubborn roslstauco to ecclesiastical
authority ovor what bo conceived to be his
rights as an American citizen. As for
blind obedience to a Papal or Metropolitan
decreo, whin that decree was not approved
by his conscience, he never dreamed of It.
He wculd no more bend to tbe Pops than
he would to his humblest parishioner, if he
thought he was In tbe right. Exact In the
performance of every priestly function,
there was no means of reaching him except
by arbltary decree, and tho present Alcu
blshop was just the man for the business.
Father McGlynn favored our American
School system, and this was In open defi
ance of tbe teachings of the church, which
has laborod for years to build up their
parochial schools, going so far as to deny the
offices of the church to the parents of those
children who attended tbe public schools,
and cutting them off from tho Catholic
communion.
Against this eccesiastlcal tyranny Father
AfcGlynn waged a continual war, and be
tween him and tho present Archbishop
there was a coldness from the first. Arch'
bishop Corrlgan Is very much like his
father, who was the keeper of one of tbe
most popular drinking saloons In Newark,
New Jersey, fifty years ago. He was a
liard-litadod, overbearing, disputatious man,
who would bear no opposition orcoutradlc
tlon, and who generally contrived to have
his own way. Tbe Irish In Newark in
those days were about evenly divided be
tween tho "Tips" and "Far-downs." Tom
Corrlgan, the Archbishop's father, being
tbe head of one faction, the other being
led by ono John JfcColgan, whose saloon
was a short distance aboye Corrlgan's and
on the opposite sido of Market Street
Tom's great desire was to see bis son a
priest, and it Is unnecessary to say that his
hopes were more than realized.
Seaton Hall, where Archbishop Corrlgan
received his education, clings to all the
ancient traditions of the church, which
exact the most implicit and unquestioning
obedience from the communicants. Of the
right or the wrong the priest Is the
sola judge, and tbo priest Is always right
except when he comes in conflict with the
bishop, and then tho bishop Isalwajs
right and the priest Is always wrong.
There Is no denying' tho fact that the
present Archbishop Is regarded as but an
Indifferent successor to the late Cardinal
McC'Ioskey. Cardinal McCloskey, while
firm as a rock when he stood for the right.
was tbe soul of gentleness and charity, and
the humblest member of the diocese could
reach him on all proper occasions. Not so
with Archbishop Corrlgan. Onlj the other
day-, one of the wealthiest and most in
fluential Catholics in New York went to
the Archbishop's palace, (mark you that,
palace), to request that, an honored priest
of Brooklyn, Father Silvester Malone,
might perform his marriage ceremony. The
Archbishop rafused to admit the visitor to
his august presence, but .returned his
answer to the applicant, who was kept
standing at tho door, by bis servant, that
no permission would be given Father
Molone to exercise any priestl function In
the diocese of New York till Father 3alone
bad apologized for attending Dr. McGljuu
Anti-Poverty meeting soveral month.! ago,
It Is thought by many that politics has
considerable to do with the misunderstand
ing. Tbe Archbishop, like bis father Torn
Corrlgan, has always been a bitter and un
compromising Democrat, and Father
Malone has, ever since the formation of
the Republican party, been an energet!
find stalwart Republican. Early In tbe
war he raised tbe stars and stripes on tbe
steeple of bis church, and there they
floated notwithstanding the 'protests and
threaj of many of bis congregation, till
peace was proclaimed In 1885. He has
ministered to his present charge over forty
years, and being a model christian priest In
every particular, be Is greatly beloyed, not
only by bis own congregation, but by all
the people of Brooklyn. To show how
this feeling Is cherished, a few jears ago,
when his health was falling, a Protestant
gentleman who knew him ana loved him,
gave him ten thousand dollars to go abroad
to recuperate his health; and If the truth
could be known, there Is little doubt that
tne great nunc or tne girt was not laid out
on himself, but distributed among tbe
poor. Father Malone Is a great friend of
Dr. McQlynn, and has never deserted him
In his trials, lie wrote directly to the
Pope In bis behalf, and has done every
thing In his power to heal the difference
between Dr. McGlynn and bis superiors.
Tbs course of the Archbishon to Faiher
Malone has awaked universal indignation,
and the outcome can scarcely bo guessed,
Some one will have to back down, and
don't think It will be Father Malone.
No sooner Is our great political halt!
ended than tbe clans are summoned to pass
judgment on the. army Infractions which
they were compelled to oyerlook In tbe
beat of tbe fight. Tne Eighth Assembly
District, one of the Republican strongholds
of New lork cltj, has long been domlnat
ed over by John J. O'Bilen, a political
guerilla wbo, though nominally a Rr.publi
can, realh oelonged to tbe John J. O'Brien
party, and whichever party failed, be man
aged affairs so that John J. O'Brien alwayi
came out on top. In a city overwhelming'
ly Democratic, be has contrived to keep at
tbe bead of the Bureau of Elections for
several y eat a, and In addition to providing
bountifully for himself, be has managed to
find snug berths tor an army of heelers
wbo were bound to blm by tbe cohesion of
public plunder, While tbe district was
nominally ltepubiican nomination or en
dorsement did not go for much unless ap
proved by Mr. O'Brien, and It was geneial
ly understood that all nominations and en
dorsements bad to be solidly backed by
cold cash. A couple of years ago Allan
Tborndyke Rice was oeaten In this district
by the Tammany candidate; and later still
tbe Republican candidate for Sheriff was
beaten bva Democrat, andJno. R. Fellows,
the present District Attorney and tbe nom
inee of tbe County Democracy, beat De
Lancy NIcbol, a Tammany Democrat en
dorted by tbe Republicans. The only
question In tbe Eighth Assembly District
appears to be who bad tbe most money to
disburse, and the voters wers sold like
sheep In the.shamblts,
This business bad been practiced for
years by another political pirate of th
same class, one Mike CreCgsn. The Re
publican Committee met after tbs election
two years ago an d fired blm Cut. It broke
fcls htn, ad h died Vwo weski aftyev
Tho Republicans of Now York have long
chafed undet O'Brien's treachery, and they
have resolved t endure It no longer. De
prived of his share of tho plunder, ho will
soon sink tq his proper leycl. Our politics
need purifying, and It is a good sign when
Republicans rise against such politicians as
O'Brien, and Democrats break the power
of Bosses like McLaughlin.
Where are we drifting to? I could not
help asking myself, as, looking over tho
papers, I saw tho reports of six sermons
and one lecture in the sbapo of a sermon,
on Mrs. Humphries' novel of Robert Els-
mere. Ilobor C. Nowton Is ono of tbe best
known of our Episcopal clergymen. While
skirting along tho dangerous edgo of agnos
ticism, he has so far escaped scfiotts ecclesi
astical censure. Bishop Potter's mind has
been very much disturbed at times about
tbe advanced views of his erratic neophyte;
but for all pra ctlcal purposes he appears to
have kept within the strict pale of the law.
Two Stindass ago, Instead of giving Ills
text out of the Biblo, he preached a ser
mon on Robert Elsmere. On the samodav
It funlshed a text for Rcy. Dr. Cbadwlck of
Brooklyn, a prominont Unitarian clergy
man . Then came a sermon b Dr. Mere
dltb, one of tbe most eloquent Prcsb.Uerlan
divines, and this was supplemented by a
sermon by Bob Ingersoll Never before In
the history of tbe churches has such a thing
occuired. People eminent in the religious
and literary world, whose lines of thought
are far apart, liayo met on this common
ground. Tho book-stands are oiled up
with cheap editions of It, and its sale Drom
laes to eclipse that of any novel of the
century. Men and women who have not
read a novel for years carry It about them,
and so far It appears to havo met unusual
commendation. It Is clean and sweet, and
a welcfime addition to tho light reading of
the time; but what will be the aftermath?
Let us wait and see.
Whether it Is that people are crowing
more pious, or that they feel that they have
more to be tbankfnl for, I know not, but
Thanksgiving received a more general ob
servance last week than I have seen before
in many ears. In fact, yen might have
thought yourself in New England. All
business was suspended; hardly a store was
open. You might have thought It Sunday
if It had not been for the crowds coming
In and out of the saloons many of them
carrying a much heavier load than tbev bad
any reason to do inanicrui lor. A pleasant
feature or the holiday, Is the general re
membrance of the oor. The miserable
little waifs of tbe streets are picked up bv
thousands; me bootblacks 'and newsboys
can always count on turkey and mince pic.
Though dead Mrs. Astor's generous bene
faction was not missed; for a member or
her family, remembering her kindly inter
est in the bootblacks and newsboys, saw
to it that they should have reason to give
thanks.
Wo are now preparing for the opening of
the Metropolitan Art Museum, which pro
mises to be one of the most Interesting
events of tho season. Thanks to the mag
nificent donation of the late Catherine
Wolfe, the new wing has been finished, and
Into It, many of the pictures and art treas
ures have been removed. Tho grounds
around the Museum, which for years bave
looted nice a ruin, are to bo beautified ana
laid out. To this grand school I always
return with pleasure, and from Its present
start, nnd Its futuro prospects half a cen
tury hence, there will be but few grander
collections In the world. Here the student
of history can wander among the relics of
past aces: for here In little space Is Illus
trated the genius or burled centuries, for
In these precious cases can be read tbe life
story of the world. It Is destined to be a
mighty educator of the masses, and I hope
tne directors, in tne season now upon us,
may find it In the Interest of tbe public and
the museum to open It on Sundays. At
present Its treasures are sealed to the great
body of working men and women who can
not spare time to visit it on week days. It
would bo a boon for which thousands
would bs thankful.
