The "fiale City'' makes.the.positive statement that "there jiro>*rribre 'trusts in England than in tho:TJnit,ed Stages." There are several hundred trusts in the l r nlted States. Can' :theV- "Gate t'iiy" name half a dozen trusts In Kng laud? Sioux Oity "Tribune." Mere Is an opportunity for,tjjo breth ren of the press to get together nnd answer the inquiry propounded by the "Hawk-Eye"' several times recently without satisfactory reply from any quarter: "What are trusts?" There is a loose-jointed use of the word trusts." lint it does not seem to be used in the same or uniform sense by the public. Here is a case ill point be tween the "Hate City" and the Sioux i'it y "Tribune." There is great con centration of capital in England, such as in this country often would be call ed in popular parlance, a "monopoly." "combine." "trust." "vast aggregation "I capital." This tendency is as great in a so-called Free-Trade country like <;rcin ltritalu as a Tariff' Protected country like France, licrnuiny or the I'iihed States. This substantiates the claim that trusts are lioi solely the oft' -1 >rilijr lit Tariffs, if even in any degree related. The sooner the public lids Itself of the idea that the so-called trusts are the product of partisan politics, the sooner a remedy for any evils incident tu trusts may lie hoped for. Rurling tihi "lla\vk-Eyo." A DISAPPEAKINii l-'.M.t. M'Y. The various industrial combinations which are continually being formed will have to be on the lookout il' they are to keep track o! .ill l lie new manu factories which are lieimir built in the South as a result of the tremendous industrial prosperity which has swept over the entire country. A "trust" which < omplacchtl.\ reflects upon the pleasing fact, today, that it lias a controlling interest in any particular industry will be likely to wake up t<> morrow to tnul itself hopelessly in the minority, because of the many new .mil independent industries which have sprung up under the encouraging influence of our present industrial policy. Men of money are evidently taking more stock in Henry Walter son's advice to "build new mill's" than they take in his fallacious arguments in favor of the policy of I'recTrade, which would soon make new mills as well as old ones just so milch waste property. Natttrallj a goodly number of the new mills are being built in the hither to undeveloneil South. It will not be many years before the South will be a manufacturing as well as an agrictil • tural section. Then good-by to I'ree- I'raile as the policy of the South. The passing of that fallacy as a Southern policy has already been foreshadowed in numerous expressions of opinion which have appeared in Southern papers. The «la> is fast apptoachiug when the Southern States will be as enthusiastic in their support of a Pro tective Tariff as is Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. KX-SENATOK PKKI-T.lt A Nil OTHERS. The announcement made by ex-Sen ator Poller of Kansas that hereafter he will again associate himself with the Republican party is full of signiti i a lice. Mr. Potter is one of the most conspicuous of a large number of vot ers w 110 left the Republican party be cause they thought that prosperity could be brought back to the country 11\ some other means than through a Protective Tariff. Ex-Senator Peffer's return to the Republican party marks liis recognition of the fact that, as a creator of prosperity, a Protective Tar iff is ,i pre-eminent success: that the \\ ostei n seekers for prosperity are sat isfied with the results which the lMng ley law has brought to pass, and that tli" place for those who want the country to continue in the path of pros perity. is with the party which will continue our present policy. Ex- Senator l'efl'cr is but one of many, conspicuous because of the high politic al position which he has held. With him will be found thousands upon thousands of his former constituents, who .like him. ha\e decided that Pro tection is gi io<- cii"i;gli for them. The policy of Protection lias always had the support of a Is.'gc majority of the people of the country, and it never had a larger number of supporters than il has to-ilny.

Alcohol In SlleUl, A new invention of great importance has just been patented by a Rernian chemist. Julius Noiden of Aldenlioven, Rermany. He lias succeeded in hard ening alcohol until it becomes a solid mass. This will insure a very much greater popularity for the employment of alcohol. It now comes in small cylindrical pieces, packed in patent tin boxes, that can be used for cooking, lighting, heating anil the various uses of everyday life. The solidified alcohol burns without a wick, can lie blown out after use, and then harden.* again within a minute. The danger of explosion is absolutely done away with, and the neat little tin package, with its stick of alcohol, is always ready for use in the kitchen or bed room, on the toilet table or un der the milk pot. on tlie road or in the field, as a night lamp or going upstairs 1 at night.
