New York World : \Vlicn capitalists combine in a business enterprise the combination is called a cliqito , a pool , a syndicate , a company or u trust , accord ing to thu circumstances ant ) the nature of the transaction entered into. If the combination is for a temporary specula tion In stocks or grain it is generally called a clique , hut is .sometimes dlgni- lied by tlio name of pool. A pool is , however , generally a combination of all competing corporation * for the purpose of maintaining rates and dividing the business or profits between them on nn agreed basis of percentages. An illus tration of this is the recent trunk line pool abolished by tlio inter-state com merce act. Tlie trunk line association lives and continues to maintain rales.but the pool is dead and thu roads can no longer divide business or profits. A syndicate is a temporary combina tion of capitalists for the purpose of carrying out a big business enterprise , and as soon as this is accomplished tlio syndicate dissolves or remains in the shape of a permuneiit and regularly or- gani/ed company. Thus the so-called Ives-Stayner .syndicate , which proposes to purchase the controlling interest in the Baltimore ) i\ : Ohio stock. When the deal is finally consummated tlie syndicate vri'l ' dissolve and the purchased stock will probably be held In the name f home permanent company or otherwise disposed of .so as to hold'it together for the purpose of controlling the railroad. A syndicate of capitalists recently pur chased the majority of tlio .stock of the Itkliinonil vV Danville railroad anil then of the Kasl lennessee. and then trans fer ! ed the purchases to the Richmond Tctminal company , which issued its ow n .stock to pay for the same. The pyndicato then disappeared. A com pany , as eveijboil.v knows , is a combina tion of capitalists legally incorporated by tlio legislature to carry on a speci fied business under certain restrictions. Till : ( HtOWTII OK "COMHIN'ATIONS. " The latest fashion in the financial world is to organize trusts , and it will probably not bu long before tliero will bo many such combinations all over the United States. The oldest and most powerful of trusts is the Standard Oil trust , a mighty aggregation of capital which absolutely controls the petroleum ( supply of the United States , if not of the world , and the methods of which hare just been exposed in the World. An other trust which has recently sprung into widespread notoriety is the Cotton- need Oil tru-t. A third combination is in prospect , which may rival the .Standaid in its .strength anil impot lance to the consumers of the I'mted States. This is a cattle trust , which hhall control nil the cattle ranches in the country , and not only the ranches , but the .slaughter houses us well , biich n trust , if .success ful in its operation , would soon have a practical monopoly of the fresli beef sup ply of the cntiro nation. Tito universal tendency of capital late ly has been towards consolidation , mon opoly. Railroads are consolidating into 'systemswhich stretch half across the continent , anil these systems are uniting into combinations. ' 1 ho coal producers combine to regulate production and to lix prices. The gas companies consoli date or combine so as to destroy compe tition and to create a monopoly which shall insure stability of rates. A few big Chicago packers can anil do lix the prices of pork products. Tlio price of wheat nnd Hour is often controlled by cliques in Chicago , St. Louis and New York. 1'our or live big firms in Chicago , with a combined capital of Sr > 0,000 , < )00 ) , practi cally control tlio dressed beef market of the country. There is little or no com petition among them. A perfect understanding - standing exists , anil they can buy the cattle for such prices as they choose to giro anil sell at such prices as thny choose to make. It is to suiiplant this combina tion that tlie Cattle Trust is proposed. It i.s a startling fact that the great ne cessities of life--such as light , fuel , dnof , pork , wheat and transportation , which in this nineteenth century 1ms become al most as much of a necessity ns tlio at- inosphore are controlled by cliques , pools , combinations and trusts , or in other words arn in the hands of absolute monopolies. If capitalists will now only organi/.e an "Atmosphere Trust , " the catalogue will lie complete. Were it not that the people through their representa tives IB the national and slate govern ments have begun to enact laws and crp- nto commissions to regulate and re-strain these combinations of capital , the out look wouhl indeed bo alarming. WHAT A "llil'hT" IS. It is not an easy task to describe what n trust is. In thn cases of the two pronn inont examples in this country a trust is nn aggregation of capital which proposes to obtain a completeascendency in the market for a certain commodity. This ascendency is obtained by so managing . tlie capital nt certain points , by so man ipulating prices nnd controlling supplies ns to crush out weaker and individual competitors ono by ono or to compel them to soil out to the monopoly. A trust company is an unincorporated company with a secret orgnni/ntinn , one of the cardinal principles of wiiose control is to pi vet he public as little information as possible concerning its business. Hanks , railroads , insurance companiesand otlior corporations publish annual statements of their finances and the extent and con dition of their business. Hut a trust novpr i Iocs that. The public would remain in profound Ignorance of the condition of tlie trust were it not for the evidences of increasing wealth which it exhibits yo.tr by year anil for the investigations which n hi-iilo legislature or attorney-general Bometime.s makes. ' 1 ho attorney-general of Louisiana a few days ago made an onslaught on the Cotton-Seed Trust , de claring that as a monopoly it hail no right to exist in that state and that the fcrust is illegal and fraudulent ; that it had mover boon incorporated under the laws of any state and had no riglu to act as a corporation or issue certificates of stocks. lie demanded that the books anil papers of the company bo exhibited for exami nation. The demand was resisted by the tru t Judge Altligo , tlio vice-president claimed that ho hail no authority to re * coivo service or to stand in judgment for tiny of tlio persons named as composing the trust. The Standard Oil company has always resisted all legal efforts to open its books or to investigate Its nu"airri. Jndgo Houston , wlio tried the suit brought by the attorney-general , has Just decided that there is good ground for notion against tlie trust. There is said to bo , however , n consid erable element In the Cotton-Seed trust which is in favor of greater publicity in regard to Its affairs. Thu trust will hold its annual meeting in this city in tiic lirst week of July , when n statement may b'o made to the stockholders , nnd through them to the public. It will bo nn interest ing statement , as this trust is now one of llm most important companies in the rountry. The trust is said to have earned n dividend. Whether this will bo de clared nt thn. July meeting Is a question , fouio say that it'will lo , wlnlu others * * " * . - - - t -li a .i n snv thflt the money will bo held to fi < iht ivwsnits nnd crush out wtint little coin- lulltlon "till runmins , IMIOIITTIOS IS SKCUKCV. The secrecy which surrounds the ill'iilrs of thu trust N illiHtrnted by thu remark tniido to a \ \ orld reportur by a Kentlcinan who is a brother of one of the nine trustees of the trust. "I am a larco ( stockholder , " ho said , "and it is true that my brother is n triHteo , but I know no more of its alFair.s than you do. All I know Is that the trust Is u legitimate en terprise , and I buliovo in it so much that 1 buy as many of ltd certlllnates as I can whenever tlieru h a favorablu opportun ity. I helluva that there will bo n divi dend declared in .July. Of course , in controlling 00 per cent of all the cotton seed mills hi the country , the trust has a practical monopoly of tlni business , and the result of this unrjit"stionabiy will bu the maintenance of prices at u higher rate than would be possible under the old order of things. There Is a great deal of complaint among the southern planters at present in regard to the prices paid them for thu cottonseed. Complaints are un doubtedly the cause of thu hostile action of the attorney general of Louisiana. A little thought should eonvmcu tliu plant ers that their complaints are groundless. There has been a reduction in the price pahl for the seeds , 'out thu reduction has not been as great as in the price of cot ton it.solf , in which there is the freest competition- probably not so great as would have been thu ease if there had been no trust to glvo stability and regu larity to the trade. "It does not necessarily follow that be- can.se the Cotton trust keups its business to itself tnat it is , as the attorney general of Louisiana alleges , a fraudulent con cern On the contrary , the evidences arc that it is a shrewdly managed business enterprise , dealing is a legitimate article of merchandise. " lint that the trust is a monopob' , and that its monopoly has been created by rough-shod methods , there can bu no doutjt. T. K. ( phoney , of Texas , ono of thu most conspicuous men in the Cotton seed trust , recently admitted that the monopoly had been created by using the big capital of the trust to drive men of moderate means out of the industJy. When the trust wislios to control a cer tain section of tlic country it iorces the opposition mills to sell out or close up by using the capital in such a way as to makethu business in that suction un profitable. The opposition claims that this is conspiracy anil tyranny , but iSir. ( . 'honey .say.s it is the policy imrsued by every business in every branch of trade whenever it can bu dono. It is deelared that since tlm trust began business the price ot cottonseed has declined from $11 to $8 per ton , while thu pneo of tliu oil has increased more than 00 per cent How much property thu trust owns is not exactly known. It is said that it con trols about one hundred and twenty nulls , or fully ! ) ( ) per cent of the entire produc tion. Not all of these mills are in oper ation , as thu trust only works a snllicient number lo supply the demand and is carctul not to create an over-supply. The industry is ono capable of irrcat develop ment. 'Cotton oil is now in increasing demand in this country and Kurope for use in the manufacture of lard , table oils , butterine and oilier substances. Kvory bale of cotton is said to b capable of supplying 1,000 pounds of soetl. anil at present the proditutionof only one million ijalei i ? used tor _ oil , while -Ibo annual yield of cotton is in the neighborhood of ol lirq.,00 ) ( ) bales. It is said that there is a profit ot about $1 , on every-,000pounds of the seed made into oil. According to this estimate , there is an annual piolit of i ? ' , ' , < > 00,00 ( ) in tlio cotton-seed oil produc tion , while thu business is capable of almost boundless expansion. Thy trust i.s controlled by u board of ninu directors , of whom John Scott ami ,1. 1. Maeauley nro well-known business men of this city. The headquarters of thu trust are in this city. The nrosident is John V. Lewis , formerly of. Cincinnati. nn : i-Korosnu "t'Am.nTiu'ST. " Ot thu proposed Cattle trust little is known in this city. The success of the Cotton-Seed Oil trust has been such as to naturally encourage the introduction of similar methods into the cattle business. U'ho CattU' ' trust , however , beems to be piop03Uil as a protest on the part of thu ranchmen against the existing dressed- beet monopoly of Chicago. Tlio con sumers have little interest in the matter , as the ranchmen's ' trust would probably bu as bit : a monopoly as that of the Chicago cage dres.scd-beof men. Thu Armours , Swift Ht Co. , the Fairbanks company , and Hammond it Co. , of Chicago , practically control the fresh beef supply of thu coun try. By an ably use of their capital , and under a perfect understanding between themselves , and by secret and special rates granted by tlio railroads , four or livu Chicago millionairs have been able to dietato terms to the ranchmen of tlio wc.st , to drive the slauglitorers of the cast out of the business and to .supply a large proportion of the national consumption. The live c-ittlo business of Now Kngland has nearly died out ; that of Now York has by the operations of the Chicago com bination been reduced to ono-lmlf. Form erly Kl.OOO to 11,000 li\o cattle arrived weekly in lids city. Now the average is from 0,000 to 8.000. Chicago dressed beef is supplying thu tables of the cast. Now tlio ranchmen who are said to have been losing money largely of late , ami who seem to bo completely at the mercy of the Chicago combination , propose to as sort themselves. The scheme suggested is that of a ' 'trust , " with a capita ! of at least ! f. > 5,000,000 , to which tlio ranchmen shall sell all their cattle , and in which they shall bo personally interested. If tlio scheme i.s over carried out it in proba- blu that the trust wilj dress its own beef , nml , relying on tlieinter-3tato commis sion to force the railroads to give equit able rates , will send the product of the ranches direct to the eastern markets. * Good Air. A liygicnist says In the St. Louis-Hlobo Democrat- seems to be thu hardest tiling in the world to convince people that the most essential thing to human existence is gootl air. It is the willful ignorance of people on this subject that is making n narrow-chested , weak-lunged race. The prevalent blindness of this point is something appalling. .lust watch a lot of workmen tearing down a building. They will stand couuhiiiix.'and spitting in the blinding limestone dust hour after hour , sowing the seed of con sumption and genciat disease , when , if they would try a moist .sponiro over thu nojo and mouth , thu air would reach the hums purilied of those dangerous atoms of dust. Again , go into any big room , a theatre , church or school hou e , whilu being swept , and you will see the janitor placidly inhaling thu dust in death-dealing gulps of air. Suggest the sponge to him , and he will laugh at you. It is this obliyiousne < s that allows the clerks to keep silent anil to submit to having the stores s\vent out during the working hours. If they had to buy the air they are forced to breathe , they wouldn't take it at any prico. It is because it costs nothing that they i > av no ' altcntion to it. If they had boon prop'orly alive to the importance of the question , they would have started a vigorous agitation for relief , when : v low weeks ago the Globe-Democrat called at tention to the subject. Let mo say this much for the clerks , however ; they do not have the dangers of the evil brought home to them verv strikingly , for tlio reason that the sweeping is done when the sun la low in the sky , and then the dust is not plainly seen floating about as it really is.

The pool tournament , which began on Friday night at "Tho Manhattan" of Hu- dlo A : Yonawino , is becoming more Inter esting as the tournament progresses. There are seven players entered Hucc , Long , Hut/ , Dahl , Shafer ami liohn , the crack pool players , with an exception erse so , of Western Iowa. Kach evening three series are played , gamu being called at 9 o'clock. A series constitutes seven games ami the winner of a series has to win four games out of the seven. Kaeh player plays si\ series and the winner of thu largest number of. series is consequently the one who re ceives lirst prlzu. There are three pri/.es Thn opening game Friday night was between Helm and Hut/ and was hotly ' contested. Each player won three name's anil alter a hard fought battle Hut/ won the seventh trame. It was followed by Long and Hut/ . Long being defeated. Long then tackled Dahl who came out an easy victor. , Saturday night's games were Dalil vs. Fluee , Fluco vs. .Shafer , and Sliafer vs. Robinson. The winners were Dahl , Flueo and Sliafer. To-night's games will settle tliu contest , no doubt , as rcunrds the first and second placeus the acknowledged best players conic together. The games are Iiiitvs. . Dahl , neither of which have lost a game , and much interest is manifest in this se ries. Uotli are looked upon as likely can didates for lirst place , ami whichever loses thi series will have to contest with Helm for second prize. The Long vs. Helm series will then bu played , after which comes Dahl vs. Holm. 'J lie other games to bo played are : ( Loni ; vs. Flnce. Tuesday , MayiJl < Kluco vs. Itiitilnson.

It takes some hard work and not a little money to establish a paying medicine , or liniment , or whatever you manufacture.
