The robin nnd the swallow may bo

An American kopje seventy feet high
was born at the foot of Mount Raker
n few days ago, but no Roers have yet

Ross Croker will postpone his return

Ill tin April niiiuhor of tho Review of
Hvvli'WH, Prof. Jeremiah V. Jenka
of Cornell university tllsetisses nt eon
Hlilernlile length iubllelty ns a remedy
for the evils of trust. As the expert
of the United States Industrial comnils
Moil Prof. Jenks formulates tersely
the eoni'luMlons reached by the commis
sion In the declaration that "Industrial
combinations have become fixtures In
our business life. Their power for evil
should he destroyed nnd their means
for good preserved."
With this enunciation as his text,
Prof, .tntiks tiolnts nut the scotin of
v... , ..
I publicity 111 dealing with the most dan
Kerous features of the trust problem.
As analyzed by him, the objects of pub
licity arc:
Plrst, to prevent the promoters of In
dustrial combinations from deceiving
Investors and the public by compelling
corporations to furnish full details re
garding the property or services for
which stocks or securities are to be Is
sued and other material Information
necessary for safe Investment.
Second, to prevent fraud nnd over
valuation of trust securities.
Third, to encourage competition when
profits become excessive, thus protecting
consumers ugalust too high prices and
KimnlliiR the Interests of employes and
creditors by a knowledge of the flnau-
C'IU C0I11llt'0I1H ' the business.
While Prof. Jenks has accurately
presented tho advantages of enforced
publicity, he does not reach the core of
the remedy to be applied. Na
tional and state legislation re
quiring corporations to give stock
holders free access to their books
and to publish periodical exhibits of re
sources and liabilities would be a step
forwnrd, but It Is by no means the full
measure of protection now demanded
by the public.
Publicity to have its fullest scope
should include also national supervision
by experts Under tho direction of olllcers
clothed with tho same power that has
been conferred on tho comptroller of the
currency with reference to tho national
banks. Otllclal publicity, based on as
certalned facts, verilled by government
accountants and tho prohibition of tho
ssue of securities not justified by the
assets or business of corporations would
do away with the greatest danger by
which the people are menaced from the
trusts,
The consensus of opinion among all
men who have given the trust problem
serious consideration Is that the search
light of publicity turned upon these
giant commercial and muuufacthrlug
combinations would be the most effect
vo preventive of tho worst abuses
which have sprung out of this phase of
our Industrial evolution

One week from today tho public In
nuguratlon of the Paris exposition will
take place. Tho exhibition Is not yet
complete and probably will not be for
it least a month more, but this will not
deter people from golug to Paris and
doubtless tho attendance from tho open
Ing day will be large. This will be the
sixteenth exposition held on French
soil. The last one was In 18S9 and It
was attended by aii.tioO.OOO people. The
forecast for 1000 Is said to double these
figures, tho expected atteudunco being
placed at 05,000,000.
Tho present exposition Is on n very
much moro extenslvo scale thnn that
of eleven years ago. Tho area originally
set apart for It was found Inadequate
to meet the requirements, so eager were
tho nations to participate, and It has
been twice enlarged. Tho expenditure
In preliminary work by nil countries
having exhibits has been over $200,000,
000, three-fourths of that amount hav
ing been contributed by Franco alone,
Tho United States will bo well repru
sonted In the exposition. American man
ufacturers hnvo shown a lively appro
elation of this opportunity to exhibit
their products uud tho promise is that
tho display of these will not bo excelled
by nny other country. Tho French uu
thoritles wcro liberal In according space
to the United States and it will be fully
occupied.
It will bo a great exposition, In some
respects surpassing all predecessors, and
the Pnrlslans are reasonably nnticl
patlng a rich harvest from It. Owing
to the hostile attitude of the . French
people toward Knglaud It Is probable
that British patronage of tho exposition
will bo very much less than If a friendly
feeling existed between the two coun
tries, but tho exposition can bo a sue
cess without this support. While
lasts Franco will extend cordial greet
lug to all peoples, but there are somo ob
servers who think that when It Is over
she will have somo moves to make that
may disturb tho nations aud particularly

cuuax Dissension.
Tho dissension among tho Cubans nt
nnuago, wnicn uas always ueen tno
Starting point of Cuban revolt, justilles
reports that have recently como from
tho Island that pacification Is not yet
effected and that before It Is there may
yet bo much serious trouble. It also
shows that among a considerable mini
her of tho people, particularly those
identified with tho colored party, there
is a dislike of Americans quite as pro
nouueed as these people ever felt to
ward tho Spaniards uud that It Is .not
decreasing.
A staff correspondent of the New
York Times, In a recent letter from I In
vnnn, states that It Is a common saying
out In tho provinces that tho Americans
aro hated worse than the Spaniards,
Tho feellug has been cultivated that
Americans are keeping Cubans from
their own and the correspondent say
this feeling Is reasonably strong nnd 1
not losing strength lu spite of tho man
Ifest benefits of peace which American
control has Insured and tho prospect of
disorder were tho land to bo turned
over to native factions. Efforts to point
out to the people tho advantages of
strong supervision have beeu unavail
ing. This correspondent expresses tho
opinion that whether tho Americans re
tain possession of tho Island or evacu
ate trouble Is Inevitable, judging tho
native temper by the political agitation
now In progress. Kvnountlon, he says,
"would precipitate a war of factions for
spoils, tho party In power would always
be menaced by the opposing party and
business would come to it standstill.
Nothing worse could happen by Ameil-
can possession and probably nothing
nearly so bad." This, It Is needless to
say. represents the view of the prop-
rty Interests of Cuba and while It cer
tainly finds warrant In such circum
stances as that at Santiago It should
not have too great Influence upon
merlean public opinion. It N easy to
understand, as stated In the dispatches,
thnt the friends of annexation are
pleased with tho situation, but they
should receive no encouragement from
this country. There Is no pro-pect In
Ight that the question of annexation
an bo brought, forward In Cuba as a
political Issue and It will not be If there
Is no change In the position of our gov
ernment. Tho I'lilted States senators Who re
cently returned from a visit to Cuba
tated that they found conditions there
highly satisfactory. The disturbance
Santiago shows that their Investiga
tion was not thorough, as Indeed It
could not bo In tho brief time they spent
on tho Island. Such manifestations of
populur dissatisfaction as that at San
tiago must be expected, but they will
not be permitted to interfere with the
clearly defined purpose of this govern
ment to prepare tho Cuban people for
Independence and when It believes them
eady for It to leave the Island to their
control nnd government.
TV11KEY AiXO UUIt MEATS.
The edict of the government of Tur
key proitoslng to exclude all nork from
that country has met with prompt pro
test from our government. The note of
tho secretary of state. It Is said, emphat
ically denies the pretense of tho tin-
wholesomeness set up against pork as a
basis for the exclusion and pointedly
urges that the Turkish government
shall support Its contention by adequate
evidence If It would avoid serious re
sults from tho enforcement of its edict.
.V Washington dispatch states that tho
olllclals there are eonlldent, because of
the complete failure of tho German
health olllcers to make good such asser
tions respecting our meats, believing
that tho Turkish government can make
no better showing.
Further information in regard to this
action by Turkey will bo awaited with
a good deal of Interest We have no
data at hand as to the extent of the ex
iwrts of American pork to Turkey, but
whatever It may be our government
should firmly Insist upon adequate evi
dence In justification of its exclusion
mil if this Is not furnished Turkey
should bo mndo to understand that there
Is such a thing as trade retaliation. Our
Importations from that country do not
constltuto a very largo Item lu our for
eign trade, but doubtless Turkey would
not caro to loso this trade, while we
could dispense with It without suffering
from tho loss. The tendency abroad to
discriminate against American meats
demands vigorous treatment.
AMEMCAN CUMI'ETITIOX.
According to Mr. Robert Porter, Ku
ropouu manufacturers look upon the In
crease lu tho exports of American
manufactured products to Europe wltli
nlurn and the statement Is sustained
by other testimony. These exports have
moro than doubled lu tho last ten years,
their valuo In 180!) being SJWS.OOO.OOO,
These llguros will be exceeded this year
and thoro appears to bo no reason to
doubt that this class of exports will
coutlnuo to grow.
Tho greatest alarm at American com
petition Is In Germany. The German
statesman sees, says Mr. Porter, within
tho last ten years a falling off of exports
from Ids own country to tho United
States nnd nil Increase ot Imports from
tho United States to Germany, and he
becomes anxious. He attributes It to
our protective system and lu sonic quar
ters, ut least, proposes to -meet It with
moro vigorous restrictions on the part
of Germany. Tho Englishman regards
tho matter moro philosophically
though ft still troubles him some. The
returns of our foreign trade for the
fiscal year 1S09 showed that the sum
of our exports just about equaled tho
exports last year from Great Rrltaln
This was a rather startling fact to the
Rrltlsh. They knew of courso that
their export trade had been marked by
retrogression, while that of this coun
try had been steadily progressing, but
they wcro not prepared to find that wo
nan overuiKen tnem. They find somo
satisfaction, however, In tho fact that
most of tho foreign carrying trade of
tho United Stales Is done by Rrltlsh
ships and so long us this continues to
be tho case tho Increase In our trade Is
a benefit to one of tho most Important
Rrltlsh Interests. Our dependence upon
England In this respect Is n source o
largo revenue to her vast shipping In
terest, wnicn quite compensates for any
loss from the competition of our mauu
facturers. Were there an American
merchant marine adequate to the ro
qulrements of this foreign trade our
competition would bo a far more serious
matter to Englishmen than It Is. More
over, it would accelerate our progress lu
the world's markets.
Mr. Porter suggests thnt now that our
foreign commerce has reached nearly
?L'1000,000,000 wo can well afford to glvo
It serious attention. Ilo thinks It will
not drift along ns heretofore and ho
urges for Its promotion a liberal policy
of commercial treaties. He would have
a treaty with Germany to secure to that
country cheaply, as Imports, tho neces
sarles of llfo and of tho raw materials
for Industries, In return for which Ger
many might secure certain reciprocal
reductions In duty ou her exported in
dustrial products. Mr. Porter concludes
an articlo on this subject ns follows: "It
should be borne lu mind that, when our
commercial relatlous with Great Rrltaln,
Germany and Franco are satisfactory
four-Ilfths of our European trade Is cov
ered, for, roughly speaking, of the $1,.
'W,000,000 representing our total Euro
pean trade not over $250,000,000, or one
fifth, remains to bo distributed among
the minor Europeau couutrles." The
dltllculty in the way of making such a
treaty with Germany Is tho attitude of
the agrarian element nnd It does not
appear that this Is likely to be modified,
and so long as the aerarhius Insist upon
their demand1 the government will
hardly venture to i nfer such a reciproc
ity arrangement n Mr. Porter suggests.
CltVltl 11 TAXATIUX.
If the Nebraska silver republicans
Imagine that they have struck an en
tirely now lead In the proposal to tax
churches, educational and charitable In
stitutions they are much mistaken.
Church taxation was ono of the much
lebated features of the constitution sub
mitted to the voters of Nebraska lu
1S71.
This subject was the prime rock of
contention on which that constitution
foundered, or rather was counted out. It
afforded the only opportunity and the
only example for a union of the church
militant of all denominations. The
'nthollo priests and the Methodist
preachers for once slept In the same bed
and preached the same crusade de
nouncing the proposition as an attempt
o tax the bones of their fathers Interred
u the cemetery and the most sacred
places of worship.
If the sliver republicans succeed In
engrafting church luxation In their na
tional platform they will resurrect the
echoes of the memorable Nebraska cam-
align of 1871 and unchain the dogs of
war by bringing the battalions of tho
church lulo battle array against the pha
lanx of the political reformers.
One hundred nnd seventy-three saloon
keepers in Silver Row county, Montana,
hnvo lesueetfullv represented to their
county board that they want equality
beforo the law. They declare that they
object to paying Into the county treas
ury over 910,000 annually for licenses
with which to carry on the sale of
liquors, wines and beers and have no
protection whatever against grocers
who are selling bottled goods without
paying any license whatever except un
occupation tax, or ?2I a quarter. To
bring mutters to a climax the Sliver
Row Liquor Dealers' Protective asso
ciation has served notice on nil whom
It may concern that unless these fraudu-
lent practices are Immediately stopped
Its members win put themselves on an
equal footing with the grocers and con-
tlnue to sell liquid refreshments over
tlu. Inn- ulthmit n.ivliii? nun eent of II-
cense, this summary notice tnrows n
llashlight upon the disturbing elements
that mnke It so expensive for senatorial
andidates to gain a headway in Mon
tana. When the saloon keepers are
oppressed tho politicians must suffer, if
not from thirst ot. least from want of
abundant circulating medium.

Tho snows of three nnd thirty years
Huvo fallen on your grave;
No snowt', no time, no heart-felt tears,
Could hldo a heart moro urave.
When Mowers bloom abovo your breast
Ami 1,1,-KH I Im world tho while.
Tlu-y will but cull from your deep rest
your BOUi-inpiniiK snuic.
Whyi o'er your bed the llvo grass grows
.ik urliiKs inu gentle rain
'Twill tell of how, for other's woes,
You burled your own pain.
You did not falter when God's Light
Had Klvon you to seo
The way of charity and right
l' or douiiu as wen us tree.
There Is not ono directing light
In nil thn ntnr-Htrewn hIcv
That gleams so mirthful and so bright
As ant your Klnuiy eye.
No tree In nil tho forest grow
As stalwart ns your hand
That lifted with n courage truo
A curae from our fair land.
Our nation In her direst need
Found your strong, steadfast mind;
No prejudice, no selfish greed,
Could thoro a lodgment find.
