Trusts. ,
THE l.ATKKT "trust" Is a
salt "trust," or combination
of the loadliiK salt com
panies of this country,
Canada and Knglnnd. If formed, It
will control the production of from
5,000,000 to H. 1100,000 tons of salt an
nually; and, hays one of its promoters,
"outside of the savase countries and
I.'ussia it will supply the entire world
with salt botli for the table and for
curing. Not only will the company's
markets include the countries of the
AVestern hemisphere, but they will
also Include Continental Europe,
Africa and Japan, China and other
Asiatic countries." The name of the
company will bo the International Salt
company, and Its capital is expected
to be at least $.fl,non,nno.
In this general connection a Wash
ington letter published in the Cleve
land Leader has timely interest. It
says that an investigation to deter
mine whether certain great corporate
combinations are operating in contra
vention of the Sherman anti-trust law
is being made by the federal depart
ment of justice. If it is ascertained
that the statute has been and is be
ing violated, and the department can
go into court with suflicient evidence
to make a prima facie case, action
will he instituted to vitiate these com
binations. The trust question then
would resolve itself into a paramount
ra! issue and he fought to a finish.
Ajsaiiist the tedeial government would
be arraypcl vast aggregations of capi
tal which go to make up so-called
cctopus.es.
Just what' trust or trusts is being
1 oked into is known only to the In
vestigators. The first information
which must be secured relates to the
character of the agreement which ob
tains among the several c mstlluent
:'iftors of Hie trusts In question. Next,
it must be determined whether this
compact when In force violates the
hplltt and Intent of the anti-trust law.
It is easy to apnreciato the difficulties
which may be encountered In an effort
to learn of the terms under which the
amalgamation of interests was effect
ed. Trusts are not required to mako
public such contracts. Therefore In
formation of this character must be
proeured in a quiet way.
The principal provisions of the anti
trust law which was passed in the
fumnier ot 1S90, the. late John Slier
iran, of Ohio, heing the author, may
be summed up as follows; "Rvery
contract, combination in the form of
trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, In
restraint of trade or commerce unions
the several states, or with foreign
nations, is hereby declared to be Ille
gal, Kvery person, corpora
tion, or'-nssnolalion that shall monnpo
lixe, nr'ifttenipt to monopolize, or com
bine or'rftii'sjilrp "vth any others to
monopob.e1,aiiy part of the trade or
commerce. a nying the several states,
or with foyijisn nations, f-hall be
deemed-' guilty of n misdemeanor.
'Uvery contract, combination
in the form of trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy, In restraint of trade or
commence between any territories or
Mates, ,irf between any stales or for
eign nations, U hereby declared ille
gal." -.
In the Trans-Missouri Freight asso
ciation case the Supremo court held
that the Federal nntl-trust law applies
to railroads,- arid prohibits all agree
ments in restraint of Interstate trade
and eorji'merce. whether the restraint
ho reasonable, or unreasonable. An
other case was mude by the depart
ment 'at Justice tigulnst the Joint
Trafllu 'ujs'spclutHm a few years ago.
In ths.tyiso the court followed the
decision dn tho Trans-Mlssourl ease,
and held', In addition, that (lie anti
trust iiv is valid and constitutional,
and that congress lias the ynwer to
ay that n contract or combination
shall nH' ho legal which restrains
commerce among the bevonil states by
shuttlng,out tha pperalion, of the gen
eral law of-.t'onipetitlonc In another
case tho Supreme court held that con

words, the null-trust law nppllen to
every Agreement In restraint of Inter
state trade, whether made hy cor
poratltuiR or IndlvlduitlM. Tho court
iilsm held that any agreement or com
bllmtloit Which directly rcsttalun not
only the manufacture, but also tho
sale of n commodity among tho several
stntes, comes within tho anti-trust
Inw. i
Tho Cleveland Leader correspondent
says It is tho desire and aim of the
department of Justice to Icnrn whether
the operations of tremendous Indus
trial combinations which have been
organized recently come within the
pale of the anti-trust law. It also la
endeavoring to ascertain whether the
"community of Interests" scheme
lately entered Into by railroads eon
trolled hy .1. Plerpont Morgan, James
J. 1 1 111 and others constitutes nit In
fraction of (he statute. If tho depart
ment succeeds In obtaining evidence
which will Justify proceedings against
these trusts or pools, action will be
commenced In court. If, on the other
hand, the officials come to the con
clusion (hat tho law Is not being vio
lated, there will be no prosecution.
The mere fact that a dozen largo
Industrial concerns have beer, merged
Into one corporation does not In Itself
constitute a violation of tho law. Tho
government must bo able to show be
yond all doubt that their purpose Is to
and they do restrain trade and the
manufacture and sale of commodities
within the full meaning of tiie
statute
Ureal combinations m manufacture
and trade have come to stay, They
represent valuable facilities in the en
largement of business opportunities,
Yet it Is manifest that they require
to be safeguarded by law In tho public
interest, so that tho vast powers In
herent in them may not bo abused, it
Is In this direction that practical
statesmanship, working discreetly and
with intelligent regard for facts, and
not swished about aimlessly, by pre
judice, must soon effect substantial
results.
Closely following upon the great In
ternational congress of the Young
Men's Christian association of all lands,
so recently held in Host on, comes the
annual conferences of tho college stu
dents' Young Men'.s Christian associa
tions. There tire four of these, one lor
the cast, one for tho middle west, one
for the far west, and one for tho south.
They arc held Immediately upon the
cloe of the college year, and the re
ports from the present ones speak of
Increased delegate attendance and deep
ened interest.
"Examinations" Again.
THE New Yoik Times' Sat
urday Iteview quotes some
of the answers given by be
wildered children to tliu lat
est set of examination questions given
out by tho New York state board of
regents tho body which gets up all
such questions for use in that slate.
These answers are of tho kind that
some people call "amusing," because
they go wide' of the mark. They ate
anything but amusing to any thought
ful mind, considering the fashion in
which, as says a Rochester contem
porary, "the children have their minds
jammed and crammed with. it mass of
names, incidents and figures, much as
a shot-gun is loaded, and it Is not sur
prising if they scatter a little when the
discharge occurs."
There would bo a surcease to jam
ming and cramming if Instead of the
written examination questions all pro
motions from grade to grade in tho
schools were made on tho daily record
the term average method, as it is
usually called of the pupils. "With tho
dlminatioii of examination answers to
some multiple of ten arbitrarily chosen
questions set befoio all pupils at a
term's or a school year's close, the
teacher will be set free to do his or her
daily all-around best for each individ
ual pupil, to take whatever time Is
needful tor making plain and clear
the subject taught, and to know which
pupils are ready, by moie rapid and
thorough assimilation of knowledge
and development of mental power, to
go up before others who require more
time for such advancement.
This juster, more fruitful, method
makes It often possible for the mind
of tho sluggish, dull pupil to be aroused
to more hopeful, animated effort, In
stead of being hopelessly dragged or
driven, in the effort now demanded of
the teachers to secure In some way
"a class average" that will sound or
look well, he the results to some chil
dren what they may of future 111. That
future ill Is frequently an utter break
ing down of health for the child prod
ded on to "get ready for examination."
In many another case it Is the tutor
discouragement of tho pupil whose
memory falls to hold on for the notes
sary time to all the mass of crammed
facts, or for whom the cramming has
utterly swamped the power to assort
them out and llnd the especial ones
the questions call for.
"llerron Finally Dropped." That was
n headline In a great many papers last
Sunday, and multitudes of readers
breathed "for this relief, much thanks,"
Everybody except the singular person

The announcement from La Salle,

Some Advice flbotif
Going fo Buffalo
pecial t'otrupnnclcnce to The Tribune.
Buffalo, June 25.
B1
EIIOLD a letter of advice. Now
It Is written that advice, like kicks
and medicine, Is always bettor to
give than to receive. It Is also a tra
dition that If a person asks you for
advice and you can find out the sort
he wants you to give and act accord
ingly, you will mako yourself popular.
I niti endeavoring to become popular.
First, I would express some sentiments
regarding wherewithal shall ye bo
clothed.
Tie sure to bring along a short walk
lug aklrt when you como to the expo
sition, that Is If you are In tho habit
of wearing skirts at all. It Is a neces
sity at the Pan-American and you
will see fow trailing gowns on the
grounds. One day's experience In en
deavoring to hold up n skirl and carry
a parasol, a parcel of catalogues and
circulars which you are sure to ac
quire, and a collection of goodies from
the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts
will convince you that while a train
may have Its place, say in your parlor
or on a railroad track, it emphatically
Isn't the place for It on the Midway or
thejfEsplanade or any where else along
these great thoroughfares. Particular
ly will you be convinced of this when
you discover that the rough surface of
thi- asnht.lt cuts holes In the hem of
your garment and that some peculiar
alkali ingredient In tho earth here
abouts la apt to take the color out of
whatever It touches. A shirt waist
and a short, skirt Is the practical garb
for a woman who wants to enjoy the
exposition and go home without having
permanently lost the use of one arm,
o
Equipped with a short skirt, an offi
cial catalogue and a good conscience
you ought to be able to "do" tho ex
position very comfortably and with
reasonable celerity. You will see most
of tho women who bear the murk of
stylo and position thus arrayed. But
whatever you do be sure to provide
yourself with a jacket as you set forth
every day. I have reason to change
my opinion to some degree regarding
Buffalo as a summer resort. It has
been very warm here for several days
and in tho Art gallery It was simply
sizzling, but just about 6 o'clock In
tho evening tho bottom seems to fall
out of the thermometer, and the rills
of perspiration congeal into hailstones
on the brow. If everybody doesn't
take a tremendous cold here this week
It will bo solely because a kind and
beneficent Piovidence is looking out
for good Pan-Americans. It will not
be for the reason that they have dis
played any perceptible forethought for
themselves, since they go shivering
about night after night on tho Esplan
ade with thin dotted swiss waists, and
no coats, while the men are often at
tired in the lightest of coats and wear
no vests. Another provision you should
make is to bring along all the shoes
you possess, particularly the old ones.
If you como without one pair of walk
ing shoes you will earnestly long to
die after tho second day of affliction,
and you will spend all you have saved
hy taking good advice, in festive tours
in a rolling chair.
o
These rolling charioteers are a prob
lem to themselves, especially. Many of
them are young men preparing for col
lege, or already taking a collegiate
course. They came here with the
understanding that they were to lie
guaranteed t least a dollar n day by
the concessionaires. Since their ar
rival this arrangement has been riisie
garded and the poor chaps are allowed
but fifteen cents an hour when they
secure a patron. Tho concessionaire
gets fifty cents an hour. Hut this is
not the worst. The concessionaires
have introduced a swarm ot chairs and
attendants, and they find it hard, in
deed, to get patrons. If there were less
tho ambitious young men would do
better. Then the jlnrlklshas are novel
and attract more of a clientele, as tho
idea of speeding about the grounds
with a swift paced Jap between the
shafts, instead of a pony, holds much
fascination for some people. One wo
man has lost her enthusiasm for that
tnodc of travel. She was riding blithe
ly away with a particularly Interesting
and bias-eyed heathen as a steed, when
a wheel went off and the fair occupant
of tho frail little cart took a header,
which resulted In a broken arm. The
Jap mourned In true Oriental fashion,
beating his breast and making pro
found kotows, but tho subsequent pro
ceedings lire not known to the writer
of these lines, aiding in a jlnrlklsha Is
just about as comfortable and com
posing to the nerves as being perched
on an old-fashioned "hay-rigging," or
a new-fangled training cart with red
wheels, but is apparently a new sen
sation to ninny, and they yearn for ft
accordingly.
o
Another piece of advice Is that If you
do leave this exposition and this town
with any money, you see to it that It
isn't in Canadian quarters. There does
seem to bo a most alarming expansion
in Canadian cunency of that denomi
nation Just now. It is all right In Buf
falo. 1 saw a woman offer one to a
street car conductor the other day with
the same sort of equanimity that sho
would have presented him with a piece
itt counterfeit money or a dose of rold
poison. Ho must have thought her a
shoplifter at tho very least, but as ho
took tho sliver with no evident dls
turbaiice of mind, the look of amaze
ment and pity on her face was a study,
Canadian quarters and dollars are legal
tender in Buffulo, but you'll bo sure to
get u supply of them on hand as you
are leaving for homo, if you don't
watch nut, and then there will bo more
or less unpleasantness,

To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not spend your money foolishly
because you have so little of it, but
save what you can ftom month to
month nnd Invest it in something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laboring
men a generation ago and they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrade!; blew it all in. The pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a. good
tiling, that the world had to have
it, and they bought coal land, a little
at a time as they could spare it, and
it has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will live In the greatest
comfort, while tho descendants ot
their imprudent comrades are labor
ing as their fathers did for day!
wages.
Keep this object lesson in mind.
The opportunities of that earlier time
were In coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist in oil, which is fuel in a
more concrete form and is rapidly
supplanting coal, because It is easier
and cheaper to mine and handle, and
is, besides being a more economic,
fuel for all large consumers, proflt
oble for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California Is furnishing that
stale with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which -her progress has been woefully
retarded. The entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as n fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia. Is unlimited. California oil
refiners will hold the markets of the
far Kast and of the wst coast of
South America. It is plain to be seen
that the oil fields of California will
be the source of incalculable wealth,
far beyond what tho coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been In tho past.
AH thoughtful men can see that tho
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured at low prices, and only
requiring1 development to become the
source of enormous revenues for
f-horeholders,
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
Oil; COMPANY has in the most im
portant oil fields managers of ability
nnd Integrity and of tho highest prac
tical qualifications for their business,
and the shares of this company are
today, without doubt, the best invest
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 40c, but arc selling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure money to bore the first wells.
The price is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with the developments
on the company's lands and on ad
Joining lands. The market value of
the lands Is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an Investment In
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property and tho character and
nblllty of its managers this company
refers, by permission, to the presi
dent of the Broadway Rank and

these will be civen ten (10) per cent, of all the money lie or she turna In to The
Tribune, to assist in paying this expense.
Here is an opportunity for some ambitious young people to
earn the best college education without a great amount of effort,
and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
dition will be The Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women, too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are deluged with
applications for chances of this kind. Here the work for an entire
course of four years can all be accomplished in three short months,
and an education that would cost in cash $1,000 is assured with
out further outlay. Parents should urge their boys and girls to
enter the contest and work for one of the special rewards. One
of the eight is within the reach of everyone who really tries.
Send a letter to The Tribune for full particulars, including
handsomely illustrated booklet. Address,
