Saturday, July 13, 1889. 
Ever since “trust” certificates have been 
prominently put on the speculative markets, 
men have wondered how many certificates 
had been issued, and what was the amount 
of their capitalization. On the matter all 
the trusts were mute. The Stock Exchange 
here insisted that for the protection of in¬ 
vestors, a statement on these points should be 
made by each of the trusts whose certificates 
have been on the market. The Exchange 
poss Q ssed similar information with regard to 
other quoted stocks, and there was no reason 
why the trusts shouldn’t report their stand¬ 
ing. After some hesitation, five of them did 
so last Taursday. Here are the figures, the 
amounts of the capitalization being given at 
par: 
NAME OF NUMBER TOTAL 
TRUST. CERTIFICATES. CAPITAL. 
L°ad. 830,188 $83 018.8(10 
Sugar. 498 565 49 856.500

American Cattle.... 133,961 13,396,100 
Total.3,191,833 $319,183,300 
As most of them are at a premium, the actual 
money value of the certificates is considerably 
more than $319,183,300. The Lead Trust is 
one of the newest, and less than two months 
ago its capital was $33,000,000. Since then 
the monopoly has absoibed six large compan¬ 
ies, chiefly in Brooklyn, Philadelphia and St. 
Louis, and for each of these the managers 
have issued new certificates and increased 
their capital stock to a corresponding amount, 
but it is incredible that they were worth any¬ 
thing near $50,000,000. The general convic¬ 
tion is that at least half the amount is “water” 
on which the dear public will have to pay 
heavy money interest. The managers of this 
trust and those of the Standard Oil Trust, the 
parent and prototype of all trusts, are the 
same. The Standard Oil has never applied to the 
Stock Exchange to have its certificates dealt 
in, and its affairs are still secrets known ODly 
to the managers.Lately elected 
Senator W. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, 
the most extensive miller in the country next 
to C. A. Pillsbury, has finally withdrawn 
from the miltmg business. He was also large¬ 
ly interested in oanking, lumbering, railroad¬ 
ing and coun'less smaller side-issues, like the 
Minneapolis S ock-Yards Company, and some 
months ago became temporarily financially 
embarrassed. Friends came to his aid and he 
has tided over his troubles with a competency 
of $500,000, and henceforth will give all his 
attention to his Senatorial duties. 
The Republican New York Legislature, at its 
last session, passed a demagogic, vote-allur¬ 
ing bill making $3 a day the lowest wages for 
men working for the State, and Democratic 
Governor Hill signed it. Correspondingly 
large appropriations were not made, however, 
and 500 out of 1,300 hands employed on the 
canals and large numbers employed in other 
State works have been discharged, and more 
will be, because there will be no money to pay 
them. Much grumbling at the deceptive 
political boon.. 
The will of the late Arunah L. Abell editor 
and proprietor of the Baltimore Sun, gives 
sums ranging from $300 to $1,000 each to the 
compositors, reporters and editors of the 
paper. Peace, oh. peace to his ashes 1.... 
A large cave whose walls are lined with 
veins of solid silver is reported to have 
been latelv discovered near Hermosa, 
N. M. “King Solomon's Mines” are no¬ 
where in comparison.A very fatal 
type of diphtheria throughout Massachusetts 
is greatly alarming parents and others. 
The capture of the books of the Clan-na gael 
has led to the disclosure that 35 members of 
the notorious camp 30, that tried and con¬ 
demned Dr. Cronin are on the Chicago po¬ 
lice force. Small woDder little progress has 
been made in discovering the criminals!. 
_Excluding the Pacific railroad bonds of 
$64,633,513, the interest-bearing debt of the 
United Srates is now reduced to less than 
$830.000,000, with a total annual interest 
charge of about $41,000,000. On August 31, , 
1865, the interest-bearing debt stood at the 
enormous total of $3,381,530,394, with an an¬ 
nual interest charge of over $150,900,000. 
What a wondrous falling off is there, 
my countrymen!. 
Ex-Beauty Langtry is pretty badly ailing at 
Long Branch. God. Sherman’s eldest 
son was ordained a Catholic priest by Bishop 
Ryan of Philadelphia, a week ago.The 
compilers of the the New York Directory es- • 
timate the population of the city at 1,755,500, 
on a basis of five to each family, and suppose 
that 400,000 more who have business in this 
city but live in Brooklyn, New Jersey, etc., 
go in and out daily .The Farmers’ 
Alliance and the various trade-unions of Ala¬ 
bama, which held a demonstration at Birming¬ 
ham on theFourth, excluded the colored men. 
.... There is an organized movement to induce 
the negroes of the South to emigrate to Okla¬ 
homa, where 100,000 are expected by next 
July. Oh, yes; there’ll be a trifle more than 
standing room for them!. The Persian 
Minister at Washington, Hadji Hassein 
Ghooly Khan, can’t see any fun in the jokes 
attempted by the American press on himself 
and h.s august master, the Shah, and is about 
to leave the country in disgust and anger, 
amid aparagraphers’ chorus ot: “Oh,pshaw, 
Ghooly 1”. . 
Mr. David Kimball Pearsons, one of the 
busiest men of Chicago, 69 years old, has 
given $100,000 to Lake Forest University; 
$50,000 to Knox; $50,000 to Chicago Theolog¬ 
ical Seminary; $50,000 to the Presbyterian 
Seminary; $60,000 to the Presbyterian Hos¬ 
pital ; $30,000 to the Young Men’s Christian 
Association, and $30,000 to the Women’s Board 
of Foreign Missions, besides $350,000 in 
various other wavs and in smaller sums. The 
liberality of such men should be blazoned 
abroad both as an honor to their generosity 
and a reproach to the niggardliness of most 
other rich men.. 
Tuesday Mr. J. B. Haggin's horse Salvator, 
won the Lorillard stakes for three-year-olds, 
at Monmouth Park, near this city: course, 
1% mile; time, 3.37%; value of stakes, $33 450. 
Salvator is considered king of the three-year- 
olds, having won, in three weeks, besides the 
Lorillard stake, the Realization worth $33, 
375, and the Tidal worth $7,000, at Sheepshead 
Bay—a total of $63,825 for his ten-times 
millionaire owner. “To him that hath shall 
be given.” Haggin’s satisfaction must be 
checked by grave charges made by four of 
his most prominent competitors of foul play 
during the race.The late Simon 
Cameron’s estate is valued at $1,700,000, near¬ 
ly all of which has been divided among his 
family. The President has appointed 
Horace A. Taylor of Minnesota, Commissioner 
of Railroads, and Prof. Thomas C. Menden¬ 
hall, of Indiana. Superintendent of the Coast 
Survey—two good appointments. 
Shortly after the law was parsed providing 
for a private secretary for each United States 
Senator at the public cost, Senator Reagan, 
of Texas, appointed his wife his private secre¬ 
tary. The practice is spreading. T. J. Mor¬ 
gan, the new Commissioner of Indian Affairs, 
has just appointed his wife his private secre¬ 
tary at a salary of $1 000 a year, and Dr. 
Dorchester, Superintendent of Indian Schools, 
has got bis wife appointed special Indian 
agent at $6 per day and expenses A consid¬ 
erable number of Senators and other public 
officials have their sons and daughters in 
offices connected with their business; but the 
wife is now coming to the front as an office 
getter. Of course, there are loud charges of 
nepotism; but equally, of course, they all 
come from the “outs,” who jeermgly exclaim: 
“A public office is a private snap” or “a 
family perquisite.”.Mrs. Charles 
Kendall Adams, wife of the President of Cor¬ 
nell University, died at Ithaca, N. Y., the 
other day. John Norquay, ex-Premier 
of Manitoba, a Scotch-indian half-breed, died 
at Winnipeg a week ago. After all, it 
appears that the four new stars which Secre¬ 
tary Tracy ordered to be added to the 38 old 
ones on Old Glory, should not have been 
placed there before the Glorious Fourth next 
year. None of the four Territories has yet be¬ 
come a State, as none has formed a constitution 
or done any of the several other things prere¬ 
quisite to admission, and a star is to be 
added only on the first Fourth of July after 
the admission of a State. The Treasury De¬ 
partment takes the above view of the matter. 
The nation at large, however, appears to side 
with tbeNavy agamst the Treasury... There’s 
some nonsensical talk about a syndicate to be 
called the Irisb-American Republican Associ¬ 
ation, whose object will be to establish an 
Irish Republic by purchasing the sovereignty 
of Lower California from Mexico,or of another 
strip of land or an island from Canada, Chili, 
Peru or some other government. It is sup¬ 
posed that rich Irishmen will readily drop 
their money in the enterprise. Of course, 
the chief object of the Republic would be to 
serve as a basis for hostile action against Eng¬ 
land. No recognized government would ever 
listen to such a project, and nearly every 
bit of the world is now under some recog¬ 
nized government. 
Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow, the well 
known N. Y. lawyer and politicau, died sud¬ 
denly of heart disease, at his home at Glen 
Cove, L. i. , Wednesday, aged 63. His fees 
were always heavy, ranging as high as $100. 
000! . . .The British Columbia Board 
of Trade want reciprocity with us. 
Miss Gwendline Caldwell, 35 years old, born 
in Kentucky and educated in New York, who 
inherited $3,500,000, and some time ago gave 
$300,000 towards the founding of a Catholic 
University at Washington, is to marry Prince 
Joachim Napoleon Murat, Prince of Cleves and 
Prince of Berg, grandson of Murat, the first 
Napoleon’s great cavalry marshal, and king of 
Naples, and of Queen Caroline, sister of the 
great conqueror. Joachim’s mother was a Miss 
Fraser, a school teacher, whom his father 
married while in exile with his uncle Joseph 
Bonaparte, ex-King of Spain, atBordentown, 
N. J., where tha Prince was born 55 years 
ago. He was a great favorite under Napoleon 
the L'ttle, and a great spendthrift. He is a 
widower with three married children, has a 
fair property in hand and is suing the Italian 
goverment for $10,000,000, the private for¬ 
tune of his grand father, the King of Naples, 
shot to death by the Italians after the Battle of 
Waterloo, in 1815 . . 
Two fanatics of Lancaster, Pa., have just 
prosecuted Farmer Joseph Adams for violat¬ 
ing the Sabbatarian laws by getting in his 
hay on Sunday in anticipation of a downpour. 
.Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, Democratic ex- 
Congressman and ex-Mimster to Mexico, and 
a brave soldier, has been dropped from the 
roll of the Fond du Lac Grand Army by a 
vote of three to one. The trouble began with 
his opposition in Congress to the Dependent 
Pension Bill a couple of years ago .Dur¬ 
ing a big strike at Duluth, Minn., m a con¬ 
flict between the strikers and authorities, a 
week ago, three men were killed and a large 
number injured .An English syndicate 
is now hot after the best American restau¬ 
rants. Delmonico refused an offer of $1,000,- 
000 for his three places in this city the other 
day. The second trial of boodler, ex- 
Alderman McQuade of this city, is under way 
at Ballston, N. Y., to which it was removed 
on the ground that people here had formed an 
opinion in the matter. So have the Saratoga 
County farmers, apparently, as It has been a 
difficult job to get a jury. The trial prom¬ 
ises to be long, and a fee of $3 a day with 
board, is a small temptation to farmers at 
this bmy season... 
Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, the middle-aged 
and impecunious brother of Lord Lansdowne, 
ex-Governor-General of Canada, and now Gov¬ 
ernor-General of India, is about to bestow his 
hand and courtesy title on Miss Caroline Fitz- 
gerald,.an heiress of this city, j.36 years his 
junior. She’s somewhat of a poetess, a good 
classical scholar, and a member of the Ameri¬ 
can Ornamental Society.The Chi¬ 
cago Common Council, 30 in number, has 
given the Standard Oil Company the exclu¬ 
sive privilege of laying an oil pipe through 
the city and maintaining it for 35 years. The 
city gets not a cent for the valuable privilege; 
but the boodling aldermen, it is charged, get 
$30,000. The Mayor may veto the measure, 
however.Mrs. John Tyler, widow of 
President Tyler, died at Richmond, Va., Wed¬ 
nesday evening, of congestive chills, aged 69. 
The following “White House ladies” are still 
living: Mrs. James K. Polk and Mrs. Harriet 
Lane Johnson, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Garfield, 
Mrs. McElroy, President Arthur’s sister, Mrs. 
Cleveland and Mrs. Harrison.The 
Sugar Trust is fast gobbling un all the sugar 
refineries in the country. Its last bonne- 
bouche was the refinery at St. Joseph, Mo., 
the stockholders of which get $18,000 for do¬ 
ing nothing. About 300 hands are thus 
forced to do the same, but of course, they get 
nothing for doing it. 
At Carnegie'S Homestead Iron Works at Pitts¬ 
burg, 500 more men went out on strike Wed¬ 
nesday, when the new sliding scale, reducing 
their meager wages, went into force. 
Constitutional conventions of the four new 
States, in session at their respective pro-tem. 
capitals, are hard at work elaborating consti¬ 
tutions. Of course, several crude propositions 
are being discussed by some of them, but it is 
quite probable that its new constitution will 
be the best adapted to the conditions of each 
State, however it may compare with 
those of the old States in which the conditions 
are different. Time enough to tell about 
them when they’re completed.After the 
expiration of his term, on Jan. 1, 1890, Gov. 
Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia, will accept the 
Superiutendency of the Lexington (Va.) Mil¬ 
itary Institute, where Stonewall Jackson was 
Pioft6Sor of Natural and Experimental 
Philosophy and Instructor in Artillery 
Tactics, at the outbreak of the war. 
Grumbling still continues among most of the 
sufferers in the Conemaugh Valley, Pa. Thus 
far $1,750,000 have been expended by the 
Flood Commission. The maximum number 
of persons provided with board was 31,950, 
while the regular commissary roll is now 
7,000. All immediate necessities have been 
provided for, and some payments have been 
made on account of actual property losses. 
The local doctors put the number of deaths 
at 10,000; the canvassers who w°nt through 
the valley put it at 5,000. The property loss 
is now estimated at $10,000,000. The relief 
fund was large enough to give $700 to every 
family hurt by the flood .Heavy 
rains in Fulton County, N Y. and a cloud¬ 
burst near Johnstown—name of ill omen!— 
caused a tremendous flood in Cayadutta 
Creek, a tributary of the Mohawk, Monday 
night. Mills, bridges and other obstructions 
along the banks were swept away and very 
heavy losses inflicted. Johnstown was flood¬ 
ed and a crowd collected on a stone bridge 
crossing the turbulent crees to watch the 
wreckage rush by. Part of it struck the 
bridge and knocked it to pieces, 15 people 
beiDg pluDged into the torrent. Four bodies 
were recovered next morning and one since. 
Fonda, Gloversville and several neighboring 
places also suffered severely, and a large 
number of farmers lost heavily by the floods.. 
Martin Burke, the Winnipeg prisoner, having 
been fully identified as one of those connect¬ 
ed with the murder of Dr. Cronin, is held for 
extradition, and stands a splendid chance of 
swinging for his share in the atrocity. 
Mr. Roosevelt, the new Civil Service Commis¬ 
sioner, is gaining golden opinions from all 
sides on account of his manly way of enforc¬ 
ing the law.There are now 313 cot¬ 
ton-seed mills in the South, with an aggregate 
capital of $30,000,000, against 40 mills with a 
capital of $3,500,1)00 in 1880. As was 
feared, the Cotton Oil Trust has virtually se¬ 
cured control of the Southern Cotton Oil 
Company, which was to be for all time its 
unapproachable rival. 
Last Monday, at Richburg, Miss , 103 miles 
north of New Oilcans, in presence of over 
3,000 spectators who paid $10 to $50 for the 
privilege of seeing the contest, John L. Sulli¬ 
van, Boston’s Pride, showed his title clear to 
the pugilistic championship of the world, by 
defeating JakeKilrain, Baltimore’s Pet, in the 
34 -foot riDg, according to the London prize 
ring rules, after 75 rounds of square, honest, 
brutal and brutalizing fighting, lasting two 
hours and 18 minutes. 
The Unfamiliar. 
Without especial reason, except that it is 
unfamiliar, we are all disposed to avoid good 
that comes in unusual guise; and it matters 
not that it is unusual good. 
Nevertheless this is natural: it is right to be 
careful and conservative. It saves a great 
deal of trouble. In the end, the endorsement 
of careful people, which is sure to come if the 
merits of the case demand it, is all the more 
valuable. 
Such, at least, are our views after 30 years

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, July 13, 1889. 
A new national organization of which 
Editor O’BrieD is the author and Parne’l the 
President, has been star'ed in Ireland. When 
Parnell first decided to make use of agrarian 
agitation for political ends, he joined Davitt 
in forming the Land League. When that 
was virtually suppressed as illegal, he substi¬ 
tuted for it the National League. When 
O’Brien originated the Plan of Campaign 
for the avoiding of rent-pa> ments, he allowed 
his colleagues to direct the details of the agra¬ 
rian warfare. When the Pope condemned it 
as immoral, the tenants gradually lost faith 
in its virtues, and the landlords combined 
their forces and establish* d a Landlords’ 
League. This threatens to expel all malcon¬ 
tent Irishmen—Dearly the whole population— 
and replace them with subservient colonists 
from England, Wales and fcFotlaud. The new 
Parntllite organization, called the Tenants’ 
Defence League, is nvaut to protect the ten¬ 
ants aud antagonize the landlords’ association. 
It is in reality the old League with a new 
name, and a distinct agrarian aspect. It has 
already received the support of Gladstone, 
John Morely, Minister Egan, and Archbishop 
Croke, and is hardly open to criticism from 
the Vatican. It is supposed that it will bring 
Liberals of all shades of opinion to its sup- 
porr. The Government will do longer deal 
merely with the “men in the gap,” but with the 
whole Irish race, backed up by all who favor 
Home Rule, and who are opposed to rack-rent- 
ism. Its chief proclaimed object is “to raise a 
fund for tne purpose of giving legal assistance 
against combining landloids; and not to di¬ 
vert rent from its proper channels.” It’s the 
latest and probably the best device for secur¬ 
ing support for the Irish cause, and hamper¬ 
ing or preventing hostile action. 
Wilkie Collins, celebrated for the elabora¬ 
tion of UDguessable plots in novels, has had a 
second stroke of paralysis at his home in Lon¬ 
don. He is 64 years of uge and has been hard 
at work grinding out novels all along. As 
with his friend and co-laborer Dickens, the 
tension is too great, aud, like him, he’ll proba¬ 
bly die of over-work. 
Since t heir European triumphs in 1870, where- 
ever Germans have made settlements abroad, 
they have carried things with a high and ar¬ 
rogant band regardless alike of the rights of 
the natives and of settlers belonging toother 
nations. They are now practicing, in the Mar¬ 
shall Islands, the same greed and intolerance 
that led to the explosion in Samoa. Reports 
are numerous and loud from English and 
American traders of the oppression and exac¬ 
tions to which they have been subjected; 
while the condition of the oppressed aud over¬ 
taxed natives appears deplorable indeed. 
The Samoan troubles having been settled, with 
no great glory to the Fatherland, itlooksas if 
the Teutons were determined to excite an indig¬ 
nant geographical interest in another Ocean¬ 
ic island group also.Under Captain Wiss- 
man, too, they’ve just been trying to civilize
