A Minneapolis, dispatch to the Chi cago Journal, under date of May 1, said: At tho banquet of republican clubs here last night, Governor A. B. Cum mins of Iowa was the chief speaker. He paid particular- attention to trusts and consolidations, and his treatment of the latter overshadowed in interest his analysis of the govern ment of a republic and his descriptions of the achievements of tho republican party, owing to the attitude of Gov ernor Van Sant toward the merger. Governor Cummins declared that there are but two- forces which can safely be trusted to regulate industry and commerce competition and law and that when bold and enterprising men overcome one force they must be met with tho other. In other words, the governor pro poses as a remedy, first, that no cor poration, "whether industrial or other wise, shall be permitted to issue stock unless paid for In money at its par value; and, second, that some branch of tho government must be vested with power to fix the price of products or service upon which a monopoly or substantial monopoly has been es tablished. The speaker also submitted that some branch of the government must be empowered to remove the duties upon imports on those commodities re specting which competition no longer exists in our own country. On the treatment of trusts and con solidations Governor Cummins said: "In the full light of this hour, taught by a prolific experience, I would not if I could subdue the spirit which has made the republic promi nent throughout the world and con ferred untold blessings upon its citi zens. But within the last three or four years human agents, fired by un wonted prosperity and led by tho kings of commerce, have proposed and have been endeavoring to accom plish objects which are Intolerable in a free country; which do not tend to development, but to tyranny. The fundamental law of a healthy, vigor ous, enduring industrial life is compe tition. There are but two forces which can safely be trusted to reg ulate industry and commerce. The first is competition; the second, law. "There was no thought of alarm as we witnessed the growth of the Car negi3 Steel company, for wo knew that the victories that it was winning and through which it grew boyond the dreams of its founders were won in a contest In which brains and enter prise always earned their laurels. "But when we saw the United States Steel corporation come Into existence, first to enrich its promoters by the Issuance of vast quantities of fictitious stocks, that represented nothing but the audacity of the sellers and the credulity of tho buyers; and, second, to buy at extravagant prices competi tive manufacturers In order that com petition might be wholly or substan tially eliminated, the Inexorable tongue In the bell of a nation's life rang out a warning. "I may put another instance. The extension of tho railway systems of tho United States has done more to im prove and beautify our fortilo emplro than any other one element in tho problem of progress. "The American people, however, will no more submit to commercial despotism tlian they would to govern mental despotism, and tho tendency in tho ono caso can bo, and will be, as easily thwarted as the tendency in ,the other. All this can bo dono and will bo dono, without harm to tho soundj healthy body of American in dustry, and it will not halt for a sin gle moment in its swift march toward victories, more splendid than have hitherto crowned its efforts." LLARwc Sol Smith Russell. Washington, April 29. Sol Smith Russell, the actor, died here at 2: 30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tho funeral services will tako place tomorrow afternoon from tho resi dence of Mr. Bergqr, a brother-in-law of1 Mr. Russell, to whoso homo tho re mains will be removed from tho hotel today. Mr. Russell leaves a widow and two children, ftliss -'Alice Russell and a Son, Robert E. Russell, of Minneapolis. Mr. Russell's death followed an ill ness of more than two years. While his coridltlon was so serious as to prc v.ent the continuance of his work on the stage, it was not until last Thurs day that the end was seen to be near, and his friends and relatives gave up hope. On Thursday morning ho was able to go out for a short time, and ns usual in good veather, ho was wheeled about the parks in his chair. He was considered one of the wealthiest ac tors on the' American stage. Mr. Russell was born at Brunswick, Me., June 15, 1848, and was educated at St Louis, Mo., and Jacksonville, 111. He began his theatrical career by or ganizing minstrel companies among his sch,poJ fellows. Tor a brief period he was a 'drummer ,in thq federal army, but left the ranks in 1862 at Cairo, 111., to go on the stage, making his first public apearance at tho Do fianco theatre there. His first part was that pf Pit-a-Pat, a negro girl, in the "Hidden Hand," and between acts he rendered songs of a patriotic char acter. After a more or less successful career in stock companies in 1880 ho joined a company, of which Fred erick C. Berger was manager, appear ing in "Edgewood Folks." The piece, which ran for five successive years, was performed 1,500 times, and on each occasion he sang seven song? and made ten changes. Meanwhile he became Mr. Borger's full partner. In 1887 Wm. Warren of the Boston mu seum retired from the stage and Rus sell filled his part for several months. In 1886 ho starred again in tho "Coun try Editor" and "Felix McKiisick' by Edward Kidder, and "The Tale of a Coat," by Dion Bouccicault, remod oled by Clyde Fitch into "April Wea ther." Later plays we.ro "Peaceful Valley, "Uncle Dick," "A Bachelor's Romance," "Hon. John Grlgsby," "The Heir at Law" and "The Rivals," in which ho took the part of Bob Acres. Ho was married at Dorchester, Mass., September 13, 1876, to Alice M., daughter of Wm. T. Adams (Oli ver Optic) and Sarah (Jenkins) Adams.
