Tan Rtten, PuBLISHMt, Mlltord, Piko County, Pa Cha'rmnn Jones of the Democrat to National Committee now talks of regulating trusts rather than smash ing them. The difflenlties which surround the men who are trying to frame legislation to reeulnte trusts are il -lustrated by the fact that the Brit ish government;, with its strong cen tralization, finds it impossible tv draft legislation to control trusts, which are quite ns prevalent and successful in that country as in the United States. Democratic spellbinders nre now evolving a theory to show the dis advantage incrensed wages. High er wages, they will say, mean, of course, greater cost of production and necessitate a higher charge for manufactured articles, and the farmer is therefore compelled to mortgage his farm to buy silk lints and rosewood hayrakes. Mr. Bryan will please mate o note . for use in his eastern converting tour, that on January 2d of the new year the wages of 25,000 Pittsburg steel and glass operatives were ad vanced Ave and ten per cent., nnd in some cases even more. Under Mr. Bryans method this can doubt less be explain 3d into a misfortune. The effort of the free-traders to veil tbeirattneks upon the protective tariff, which has brought activity to thousands of factories and giveu em- plovment and better wages to sev eral million American workingmen. under the guise of an anti-trust crusade in the coming enmpnign will not succeed. All that is necessary to do is to point to the flourishing conditions of trusts in Great Britian well known as the home of ree trade. The reciprocity treaties which have been framed under the Mc Kinley administration and are now before the Senate will, if ratified by the foreign governments as well as our own, increase very greatly the exportation of farm products, their principal object having been to ob tain reduced tariff rates on articles of agricultural productions, both iu ' European countries and in the West Indian islands with which they have been negotiating. The action of the administration in bringing about an ''open door" agreement among the nations with referenoe to our commerce with China has awakened general inter est in our trade with the Orient and its prospective development, and many leading men in the Democrat io party, both North and South, are eordially oo'utnendiug the course of the Government in its efforts to de velop our foreign trade in that purt of the world. Some of the western railroads are complaining that, after their mak ing great efforts to secure adequate transportation, the farmers are holding their grain instead of ship ping it. This is interesting when it is recalled that a few years ago the farmers were not able to hold their crops until prices suited them, but were forced to sell at the earliest possible moment to enable them to pay their debts incurred under Duui ocratio rule. The farmers are en joying their share of the present good times. The talk about "oppressing" the Filipinos and denying them free dom and justice is along the line of the tuluiinatious of a cortaiu clans during the Civil War, who constant ly asked whether the United States fchould subjugate the South and hold its free people as vassals. The Confederate Btates were subjugated ; forced to submit to the sovereignty of tho Union, but the people of those States are not now vassals or op pressed. Oppression under the HtarB and Btiipes is only a phrase for demagogues. The pi-entor port (if the present week will lie devoted liy tlie Itotierts committee to hearing Icul aru lnentM. Ex-Neeretiiry Carlisle, lend ing counsel npiint Rtiheits, liegiin his argument todny and lie Iisih until Wednesday to finish It. Then Hol,- erts will lie given nn opportunity to reply, although he lias already oon- siiiikhI two duys in argument, wlileh limy Ik? Hummed tip in a sentence. The house lins no right to deny him the wtit. The Committee limy le port lute thin twk, hut it is more likely to wait until next week. The routine work of Congress, such as the preparation of appropriation hills, etc., Is much more rapiillydir e tlmn It used to lie. For Instance, the House committee on Indian af fairs, under the old method, when the time came for getting the annual appropriation bill in shape, would request the Indian Commissioner nnd several of his subordinates to come to the Capitol; then questions were certain to be asked that could not lie answered without consulting the records, nnd much time was lost. Now, the committee thects in a room at the Indian Bureau, gets nil Hie in formation it requires from the m- ords direct and gets the bill, width is a troublesome one, ready In nbout one-fourth the time it used to re quire. The Democratic attempt to play polities with the relations betweci the U. S. Treasury nnd those Nation al Banks chosen not by favoiitisn, but lieeause they put up IT. 8. lion, s to secure the government from loss, as depositories for money eolleettd for internal revenue taxation, was one of the flatest failures ever iseenin Congress. Instead of delaying al lien on the resolutions calling for a I the corresisindeiice between titer National Banks and the Secretary c f Treasury, ns the Democials we foolish enough to hope they would do, the Republicans iu both Hou. e nnd Senate assisted Inputting the res olutions through, anil Secretary Uagt promptly put a force of clerks toeopy lug the records, in order that no tint might lie lost in putting the infoi- mation before Congress mid theeouir try. Instead of being opposed It furnishing this information, Heoie tary Clage was glad of lieing furnish ed on ofliciul opportunity for showiiv exactly how and why he had taken the necessary steps to keep the mon ey in circulation, without risk to tht government, which is paid for intei nal revenue taxes, instead of hoard. ing in the Treasury and cramping the business of the country. Instead of making democratic political capi tal, the Democrats have added to the esteem in which the administra tion Is held by the business Interests of the count ry, which knows that our present proscrity Isn't acciden tal, but the result of well-defined policies.

A young gentleman Grime A tramp Scene Margnts boudoir, afterwards Woodchester High Road, and after wards Margot'B bedroom. I. Margot had no very particular reason for refusing the young gentleman who was so desirous of being her Reggie. Yet had she spoken that fatal mono syllable which has struck cold to the hearts of suitors since the days of the stone age. Margot looked at her rings, and her face assumed an expression that was meant to represent a compassionate negative. The shake of her head was Intended to Imply sympathy with Mr. Olrtercheck'a feelings: the tap of her little foot gave him to understand that no amount of Imploring on his part would affect her decision. It was not her first refusal. Already she had said a fat one of 40 "nay"; already she had turned her heel on the obese man's thousands, his dog-curt, his high-step, ping horse, and his unlimited expecta tlons. So, In a manner, Bhe was an experienced maiden, and so when Reg nald proposed to her she did not Out er and blush to any great extent, al hough Bhe did nutter and blush a Ittle. Reginald Oldercheek was not wise to impose at 10:30 In tine morning. I do not intend to discuss the hour at which i man may most prudently suggest matrimony to the lady of hie choice; I will limit myself to the statement that 10:30 a. m. Is certainly not that hour. With considerable trepidation, clean ly Bhaved. Irreproachably clad, but, a regards his Inner man, very vacant (for he had eaten no breakfast), Mr. Oldercheek was shown into the draw 'ng room, where, being too nervous to sit down, he toured the apartment, gaz ing at the pictures (but not taking In their merits to any appreciable ex tent) and looking out of the windows (without observing anything there from), until Indications of Miss Car penter's approach fell on his ear. For Mai got collected new three-penny bits bearing Interesting Initials, and wore them on a silver bangle, and these in their Jingling generally heralded her advent. When she entered, looking, as Regi nald could not fall to observe, very fresh and nice, Mr. Oldercheek. scorn 'ng prefatory remarks relating to noth ing, Intimated that he. would like to marry her. He said it stammeringly, working a button off his waistcoat in his agitation, and then started Intently it a cameo near by. "I am very sorry." began Margot. "Yes." said Reginald, "I know I've no chRnce. I know you don't per haps In time " This was an Indiscreet Interruption on Reginald's part, for it made Mar got's task the easier. "Yes, perhaps in time," she returned, playing with the bangle, ."but but not now." "Do you like me?" demanded Regi nald, letting his eyes steal up her form until they reached her neck, but not daring to look her In the face. "Oh. yes I like you," she replied, In n tone that Reginald didn't at all relish, "but nothing more at present." "Thank you," said Reginald. "Er good-by!" " "Good-by, Mr. Oldercheek." And so Reginald went out into the morning breeze, feeling that at any rate he had broken the ice. Six months passed away. During that period Mr. Oldercheek proposed five more times to Miss Carpenter, but, to quote a common phrase, to no avail, for on each occasion he suffered what amounted to rejection. Miss Carpen ter did not summarily say "No." As Reginald put It to a friend: "She seem to play about with a chap doesn't send me clean away, and yet won't have me. I can't make her out, old man." "Ah!" responded the old man, a sago youth of something under twenty, "wo men are queer cattle." The tact was that while she was de--Idetlly pnrtlal to Reginald's society, Margot (although she tried bard, ever so hard) couldn't bring herself to feel ny particular longing for that society 's a fixture rather than as a movable, "or that, after all. Is what marriage 'eans. Men who make extremely re movables often fail altogether as Mures. So Margot dilly-dallied with Regl ald, and Reginald had not sense nough to demand a plain reply. Had e done so, there is little reason to snppose that it would have been other han another hesitating negative. H. Miss Carpenter generally went riding n that dreadful lavention of modern CONTINUED. ur Announcemen To the buyers of Mens', Boys', and Childrens' clothing, Boots, Shoes and Furnishings.
