SENATOR LODGE ON TRUSTS Diwwuei Them at Close of Bute Ctmpaipa in Maine. FAVORS SUPERVISION AND PUBLICITY To Do Anar with Duties on Truat MM Articles Wonld, He Thinks, Be Only Punlshlnn; Inatendof HrtiUllic the Makers. PORTLAND. Me.. Sopt. . The atate campaign waa ended tonight by the re publkans with a big rally, at which Sena tor Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachuaetts was the principal speaker. He gava his attention to the trust ques tlon. In opening he urged hla hearers to continue In power the republican party. Referring to the war in the Philippines lie aald he belle Ted "the embers of insur rection still smoulder in Springfield, Oroton and Boston." He said that the subject most in the minds of men waa that of trusts and tbat the prealdent had recently aid some strong, wise words upon the subject. Senator Lodge aald that the prealdent waa not at liberty, as he was, to dlacuaa It from a party standpoint. He described the trust In a technical way and aald that to 95 per centlof them there waa not the least objection. To undertake to destroy them by raah legislation, he aid; would bring on at the preaent time the most disastrous business panic that could be imagined. He aald that undoubt edly the great combinations preaent cer tain dangers and certain evils and that at present the difficulty waa In distinguish ing among the corporations. He had been asked: "What' are the evils of the trust?" and he had replied that they can easily be enumerated. First and more serious Is that there Is a great popular suspicion about them. Somewhere there ought to be some means of a atate con trolling what It createa. He aald thla W.1S an evil, because under this govern ment he did not believe tbat anything a creature of the government should be be yond the government'a control. There had been many schemes proposed to solve the trust question, and chief of these waa legis lation. Reckless legislation would be de structive to property. Woald Me Only Punishment. Another solution proposed is that ot weeping away the tariff duties on articles that a truat makes. He aald that that sounds easy, and would be punitive, no doubt, but the moat It could do would be to reduce profit. Som trusts would suffer and Senator Lodge said that he would like to aee the Meat trust punished that way. The Steel truat, he said, Is organized to compete In every market of the world, while many other companies having been built up under the protective tariff, would be dealt a death blow should ths tariff be removed. "You may reduce the profits of th Steel trust," he asld, "but you leave it master fit the Held. If you took off the outy on wooieua, the Wool trust wouiu probably cloas every one of its mills." Senator Lodge thought the methods ot regulating trusts by putting them Into the control of ths publlo through the govern ment Is the silliest remedy ever suggested. He thought the first remedy Is supervision and publicity and the latter is the first thing to seek. In this connection Senator Lodge referred to the suits against the railroad merger and ths Injunction against the Beef trust In conclusion, he said tbat this country wants to retain pros . perity and at the aame time meet the queatloa of trusts. He said some means must be found to bring them within the Isw not to ruin them, but to regulate them, to make the public understand them, to remove the mystery and the discon tent. PORTLAND, Me., Sept. . At the close . of the state and congressional campaign tonight the republican leaders assert that they will re-elect John F. Hill on Monday by about 18.000 plurality. Two years ago Governor Hill's plurality was 83,000. but at that Urns there was much mors Interest in the contest than there Is now, as ,lt was the year of the presidential election. It is generally conceded th"t all four ot tho republican congressmen will be re elected. The legislature, as usual, will be easily republican, although the democrats expect to make gains In both branches, especially In ths house. The principal Interest In the election centers In ths four counties where the Issue is enforcement ot the prohibition law. JOHNSON OPENS THE CAMPAIGN Dodges When " Aaked to Preacrlba a Homedy for Trnat Evils. . LORAIN, O., Sept. 6. Th "democratic tat campaign was opened in this city tonight. A tent with a seating capacity of 1,500. people waa crowded. A drenching rain began to fall during the speech of Rev.

He prefaced bis formal remarks by an Invitation to any republican to come for ward and debate th Issues ot th cam palgn. No on responded. Mayor Johnson . then began bis speech, In which be referred ' entirely to state issues. , When Mayor Johnson bad finished hla speech be Invited queatlona from hla hear- . era. He wss asked as to a . remedy for trusts. Replying, the mayor said tbat ths campaign of fairer taxation Inaugurated In Ohio would, be thought, remove a great many of the objections now held against trusts. He said that the Immense holdings of th United State Steel corporation did not necessarily make It an objectionable corporation, but that Justice was not done th people In the matter ot taxing Ita Im mensely valuable or and other m'nlng properties. These, the mayor declared. were taxed at but a email percentage ot tbelr value, while the holdings ot ths farm ers and property owners ar taxed at ap proximately full value.

It was asld that admission would be . - ... ,, v granted only one day each week, and upon devoted to the aid of local charities. Instead of allowing Popl. to vl.lt the abbey every day a. formerly. The Inhabltanta ot Ha.t- inga were, therefore, thrown Into consterna tion, and one paper went so far as to say: "Mr. Grace baa evidently lived long enough In London to be thoroughly Imbued with the principle that an Englishman's house Is his castle." Mr. Grace informs the Associated Press that no change whatever will be mad. When the late duchess of Cleveland, to whom the abbey formerly belonged, resided on the estate, th public waa only admitted on Tuesday and thla rule will be continued. When the Graces are away the public can aee the ahow place every day on payment Of a small tee to heip the poor ot Ksaiiuaa. Referring to other rumors that he was desecrating the Interior of the building, Mr. Grace said: "It Is all quit absurd. Every thing remains as It It. All the ancient fea tures of the building.

' A Harvard graduate tells in the New York Tribune this story on himself. Says he "The summer after graduation I was trav ellng alone through Germany. Before land ing in the country I had thought that I knew considerable about the language, having spent two years In the study ot it, with a finish of Goethe and Schiller. But I soon found that a reading of the poets' or th 'Nlebelungen Lied' did not help mi whsn I wanted to order a beefsteak at a hotel or was Inquiring ths distance to the next town. Indeed, as I went farther up the Rhine I found myself more and more confused by what I beard, and had finally made up my mind that an American can not learn the German language out of text books, or even by a week's sojourn among ths Oermsn peo ple themselves. 'I hsd reached this sober conclusion when I entered cn evening a small ton or 'gast- haua,' Just outside th town of Heidelberg.

He told Arcb blshop Btablewskl Thursday that be re gretted tbe fact that tbe Germans and Poles could not live In tbe same commun ty without hating each other and expresi-ed the hope tbat the virulence of this feeling might be mitigated. Th situation certainly Is moat unpleas ant. The Poles refuse to transact business with tbs Germans, and whenever possible tbey avoid them, and the Germana buy of German shopkeepers only. .This boycott of race by race Is relentlessly enforced through a code of opinion that makes ons who brei.ks It a traitor to his people and unworthy for women to apeak to. Each party to Vila allent social economic war assert that they are merely defending themselves and tliat yielding means race suppression. The Poles who know German refuse to speak it and French Is sometimes the common medium of communication.

How, tbe Poiea ask, can ons pray In a German language? And In this the Polish Catholio church supports the Poles.

Tbe Poles also admit tbat tbsir language Is rather loalng than gaining ground and this consciousness embitters them. The burgomaster, Herr Witting, a German, who la about to Lav Poaen and become man ager of the National Bank of Berlin, at a aalary of $26,000, told Emperor William whan his majesty asked what he thought of th stories of Polish conspiracies snd sec ret movements towards Independence thst ther was nothing whatever In them and that tbey simply were inventions Intended to barm Poles and further confuse tbe sit uation.

Hove He Bossed tho Joh of Rolllnff Stones Down Incline. In the September Century Rev. Henry M. Wharton tells this anecdote of Mr. Clemens as a boy, which he heard In Hannibal, the humorist's old home: A favorite sport of tbe boys waa to go to a high hill near an old mill and atart a loose rock down the steep side until, gath ering force and velocity. It finally went crashing Into tbe water below. On on occasion an ill-directed mlaaile aaaalled the mill and made a hole through it Ilk the path of a tblrty-pounder. Th miller ran out and lifted up his voles In prayer, be seeching heaven to spar him and bis prop erty, promising. If the prayer waa answered, never to ask soother favor of the Almighty while be lived. One Immense boulder, partly burled In the hlllslds, promised to the mind of young Ssm a lot of tun. H. called tbe boys together and thua addressed them: "Fellows, this is a bigger rock than ever rolled dowa any hill; It will tak lots of work to move ber. but when shs starts all ths ''world can't stop ber. We can lift her out. I will be th boss, and you fel lows work, and ws will see the greatest thing that ever happened." Many Sunday were spent In tolling at th sides and un derneath the great rock. - The "boaa" nsvsr for a moment lost bis nerve, but cheered the others on In tbelr work, until on day they succeeded In turning over the great mass of stone. Over and over It went, fas ter and faster, till the boys were frightened almost out of their senses. They did not know where or how the thing would stop. It wss msklng for ths road Vhlch wound around tbs bill; some ons might b pass ing; or, even if not, the wsy might be for ever blocked. Tbey watched and wondered. At last it struck tbe oad wltb tremendous power, snd. tsklng a mighty leap, landed in the channel of the Mississippi river. Of course no one knew who did It, but It is said tbat H waa neceaaary to send a gov ernment dredge to tak th obstruction from th stream. Kills Ihrtstl of Kentucky. GREENS Bl'Rrt. Ky.. 8pt. . Dr. J.
