ONLY CURE FOR TRUSTS. eee JEFFERSON DAVIS'S TREASURED BY GOVERNMENT. Senator George G. Vest Says it is Tariff Reduction. Below is a brief synopsis of Senator Vest’s remarks in the senate on the trust evil and his argument that the tariff revision is the only cure: The greatest menace that threat- ens this country to-day is in combi- natiens of capital that have monop- oly for their object. The argument of the protectionists that equally great trusteexist in free trade England is false, absolutely. No monopoly can exist in a great staple of commerce where competi- tion is open to the world. The first step in an honest attempt to correct the evils from which we suffer is to remove the protection the tariff gives the monopolies and force them into world competition. The protective tariff is intemutual- ity of greed. Let any attempt be made to remove the protection afford- ed one industry that feeds on protec- tion will ery out in pain. Assertion That Leader of Confederacy Wore Woman's Clothing When Captured Effectually Disproven, Washington, Jan, 1.—It has been stated, or misstated, so often as to have become almost a matter of “his- tory,” that Jefferson Davis was dis- guisedas a woman when captured by the Federal authorities, in Georgia, in 1865. The ilustrated papers of the period contained pictures rep- resenting the former President of the seceding States disguised ina bonnet, dress skirt and other female apparel, at the time of his arrest, and similar etatementshave been made whenever the matter has been discussed It is a fact not generally known that the outer garments worn by General Davis are in possession of the Government and a deseription of them may be of interest, Keferring tothe oft repeated stories of his “disyuise,” an examination of these garments would give another The acc redite d author of the Ding A, it _|ley law admitted the ratee were proof ofa statement once made by] * unnecessarily high, yet the Dingley 1, that much of ’ rates are now held sacred and their “a res piety a ‘i; Aint aes " greed up. contiuance is demanded by the inter- ma ests that have gluttoned on them, Refusal to reduce the tariff rates whe hug dtthac aia sietsh She leaves congress with but weak weap- der locked ina strong Govern-|ons with which to fight monopoly, ment sa atin box containing the} The act of 1880 .represents the outer garments worn by Davis when limit of constitutional authority of urrested, and also his riding spursy one of which is) broken, ‘These arti- eles are inthe original box in which they were sent from Georgia to Gen- eral Schofield, by the ofticers making congress to regulate trade between thestates, Resort to the simple subterfuge of selling goods toa second party and disowning knowledge of what became of them after they left. the f: will at any time render the so-called stories the arrest They cou of a shawl about four feet square, the ordinary Paisley pat- tern, witha black border; a rainproof coat. without the cape, and the spurs is such as was worn then and is worn now by men of advanced years to prot the throat and shoulders.

The difficulty, if not impossibility, of dealing with trusts through rem edial legislation being established does it not seem reasonable that the wisest course would be to cut off the nourishment that has enabled them to grow to such ungovernable size?

CLARK, JR., Mother of the Million-Dollar Baby Suc- | cumbs to Blood-Poisoning New Year's Morning. Butte, Mont., Jan. 1.—Mrs. Will- iam Andrews Clark, Jr , daughter of an humble innkeeper, who married the youngest son of Senator William Clark, of Montana, and on December 2 became the mother of the first male grandchild of the copper millionaire, died at 4:30 this morning. She had been critically ill since the birth of her baby boy, who realized his grandfather's fondest wish, and gained the million-dollar prize he had offered for the first male child that would be born to any of his four children. Great preparations were made for the arrival of the new heir to the Clark millions, and when Doctor Donald Campbell announced that a male heir had been born the tele- graph wires and cables fairly splut- tered with the joyful tidings, which the happy father sent broadcast to his friends the world over. JOY SHORT LIVED, His joy was short lived, for within afew days the mother of this won- derful million-dollar baby fell ill. Despite all the care provided for her she was attacked by blood poison- ing. Six of the best physicians in Butte were summoned to her bed- side, and a special train was sent to Denver to bring Doctor Perkins, a famous specialist, to her bedside For days her life was despaired of. Then an abscess developed in her side and the physicians regarded this asa favorable symptom, After an Operation she seemed to mend, On Christmas Day it was thought that she had passed the crisis, but a relapse occurred and she sank grad- ually until death came to her with the advent of the new year. Free Text Books. The addresses before the Missouri State Teachers’ Association make it plain that the strongest sentiment is in favor of free text books, Prof. J. U. White, of Brookfield, said: ‘The only solution of the ques- tion is to do as all progressive states and cities have already done, give free books to every child in thestate. It was evidently the intention of the framers of our state constitution to make education in Missouri as free as the air we breathe. Education in our state is free in name only. Alaw that forcgs poor, helpless children to pay tribute to the Book Trust for a very inferior book is vicious The logic of the free school system call~ just as much for free books as for free teachers, blackboards cr other necessary equipment.” free This is the whole argument ine | nutshell.” The case for free books is strength ened by the experience of ten states, the most progressive in the country where the system has been adopted, and in every ons of them the experi- ment is an acknowledged success. No community that has ever tried it wants to go back to individual own- ership. Moreover, Missouri is well able financially to undertake the system. We boast of our wealth and progress in material things. We should not failin the finer issues of life.-—Post- South Manchester, Conn., January 3.—Charles Cheney, who was sent to Los Alamos, Cal., to prevent the marriage of his brother, Seth Leslie Cheney, to Katherine Bell, the pretty has said that no effort at disguise was miade,and his statement is borne out by the articles mentioned.
