lNSPIRATION.
'God‘s Spirit brings what most man’s spirit
asks—
The eternal motive to the finite day.
The highest purpose to the smallest tasks.
The stars’themselves to light us on our way.
——Briscilla Leonard in the Independent.
FINDIre A NURSE.
“It is a. tremendous worry,” said
Vausittart, feebly. rubbing his hair the
wrong way and signing.
L‘L'. Musgrave laughed.
“I wish I could help you.” he re-
turned. “I know a young woman who
would have suited you in every re,-
spect. I can vouch for "her character.
She has been with some friends of
mine as nurse. and is highly qualified.
Unfortunately she has a situation.”
"London teems,” groaned Vansittart,
“with nurses who would have suited
me in every respect, but have just got
a situation. Any one else?”
“No one else at the moment, I’m sor-
ry to say. Have you advertised?”
“I sent two advertisements to the
Post, and had seven applicants in re-
ply. Seven! And of those three were
spectacles and one had appgrently had
a paralytic stroke. It is most inconsid.
erate of Robbins, upon my word.”
“Robbins is the nurse who is leaving
you, is she?” ‘
“She is; but she is more—she is a
treasure. I do not think I ever. valued
Robbins as she deserved till she gave
me notice. She has been with the child
ever since my wife died—three years——
and I have never had a moment’s anx-
iety or trouble. The responsibility of
being a widower with a helpless baby
to take care. of is simply keeping me
awake nights. The interviews, too,
are rapidly giving me gray hairs. I be-
tray my deplorable ignorance at every
question. There ought to be a book
published on the subject, ‘Hints to
Widowers Engaging a Nurse.’ The
wretches see my nervousness, and at-
tempt to- bully me when I say they
won't do. One girl does seem all right,
however. She came from the registry,
office this morning.”
The respectable practitioner rubbed
his hands and smiled.
"Well," he said, complacently, “then
your worries are over, after all. You
mustn’t look ior too much, you know.
You mustn’t expect perfection. You
ave get a suitable girl—the bother is
can.
The widower glared.
“Over!" he echoed. “Why, I‘ve got
to go and inquire about her references.
I must journey down to Twickenham,
or Surbiton, or somewhere, intrude on
a woman who has never heard of me,
and catechise her till I shall be posi-
tively ashamed of myself! Never lose
your wife, doctor. You’re a medical
man—take every precaution. To be the
father of a delicate child without a wo-
man to engage a nurse for her is the
most awful pesitio-n possible for the hu-
man mind to conceive.”
He was of the same opinion next day
when he found himself giving a ner-
vous rap at the door of the trim little
villa that proved to be his destination.
Vagnely also he was conscious that his
own house compared badly with this
The geraniums in the
flower boxes bloomed more freshly
here, the arrangement of the window
curtains was more graceful. There
was a spotlessness about the doorstep
itself which he miSsed at home.
“Is Mrs. Hillary in?”
She was in. He was requested to
Walk into the drawing room. He con-
templated its screens, china, photo-
graphs and ferns with augmented jeal-
ousy. Verily, a Woman was indispen-
sable to a house, and this one, he imag-
ined, must be a nice woman. The
things about seemed to attest it. Per-
haps, therefore, she would be the more
likely to help him through the inter-
view with kindness. He had the mas-
culine dread of ridicule, and the
thought that he wOuld look absurd in-
quiring whether a servant was honest,
sober, truthful and competent was aw-
ful to him. He turned as the door
opened.
“I have taken the liberty of calling,”
he began, and then he broke off with
an exclamation, “Madge!”
“Frank—Mr. Yansittart!
ble?”
”More—it’s a fact. But—how extra-
ordinary! And 'you haven’t changed
a bit!”
She laughed.
, “And you didn’t know it was I you
Were coming to see?”
“I hadn’t any idea of it,” he ex-
plained. “After all these weary years
—and I didn’t even Fsuppose you were
in England. I came—it sounds very
silly—I came about a nurse’s charac-
ter.” . - -
‘A nurse? You are married, then?”
said Mrs. Hillary.
“I married four years ago. I have
been a 'wid-ower for three. I have one
child—a girl.”
There was a little pause between
them. He fingered his glove, and his
hostess played with a paper knife.
“Your husband is well, I trust?"
asked the visitor at last, with an ef-
fort.
She gave a palpable start. They
had once been so much to each other,
and now he did not even know she
was a widow.
“I lost him,” she murmured,
after our marriage.”
“I—I beg your pardon. Poor Frank!
We used to be very good friends he-
fore—at one time, I should say. You
have a child?”
“’Bertie—a fine little fellow he is!
You must see him before you leave.
Of course you will stay to luncheon.”
“I shall be very leased to. How
strange it is to see you again, Madge.
You have forgotten my hasty words

confessed humbly. “We were both
young and hot-headed. I am glad no
harm was done. You were happy in
your married life?”
“Y-e-s,” he said,
happy. And you?”
“Frank was very kind and indul-
gent,” she murmured. “Oh, I don’t
suppose I merit any. pity. But tell me
—I did not understand—you have
really come about a servant’s charac-
ter? Who is she?”
“She is, I think, a ‘Sarah Brown.’ ”
He consulted his letter case. “Yes,
her name is Sarah Brown. I want her
for the child, if she is capable. Please
recommend her if you can. Another
disappointment will kill me.”
"You want her so badly ?”
“I want some one very badly—Sarah
Brown or otherwise. You can form no
idea of what it is to be a father, Mrs.
Hillary—‘Madge. The responsibility of
engaging a nurse is rapidly shortening
“oh, yes, I was
my life.”
"Peer fellow!" said Mrs. Hillary
with compassion. “Well, I should
think Brown would suit you very well
indeed. She is quite qualified, and in
fact I am rather sorry I parted with
her.’
“Why did you part with her? You
see I‘m becoming an fait, at the busi-
ness. What was the cause of her leav-
ing you ‘3"
“Temper.” she replied. “But to be
quite candid, I’m not sure the temper
was not on my own side. Anyhow, I
can give her a good character to you or
to any one else."
He 11\'ii\'Ud a great sigh of relief.
“Then that‘s settled. How glad I am
it is over. You can’t think how I
dreaded this interview with an un-
known ‘Mrs. liiliary,’ but somehow
with you it wasn’t difficult at all;
even the domestic part of it. You
were always reliable, Iiladge—always
with one exception, that is to say.
That is a likeness of you on the man-
It lpieee. May I look at it?”
He tee-k it down and scrutinized it
attentiwiy.
“Good." he said. “distinctively good.
They‘ve caught your expression. When
was it, done—recently? Indeed! It
It might be the girl I took down to
supper at the Richmond‘s ball seven
years ago." He put the frame back and
turned his gaze to_ the original. “So
might you.” he added. “I‘m a middle-
aged man, and you are just the same.
Do you remember that night? You
treated me very badly. Madge.”
“You were very ungenerous, you
mean,” she retorted gently.
“Ungenerous? Nonsense! Three
times—ethree waltzes running you gave
Hillary against my express request.
“7e11, well, poor Hillary‘s gone, and
here are you and I, two lonely folks,
meeting again by the merest chance.
Are you lonely?”
“Sometimes a little lonely,” said Mrs.
Hillary. “But I have my child, you
know, and you have yours. She must
be a great comfort to you. I should
love to see her.”
“If I might bring her to you one
day,” he said, “it would please me
awfully. She never sees a woman ex-
cept the servants, from one month’s
end to the other. Nor do I. We vege-
tate in that big gaunt house, the child
and I, in a manner that is positively
pathetic.
The maid now announced that lunch-
eon was served. and they went into
the dining room together.
“If,” continued Vansittart, when he
had drunk a glass of sherry and was
turning this attention to salmon cutlet,
“if you would look us up occasionally
when you could spare the time, it
would be real charity on your part.
It would, indeed. Not alone to the
baby, but to me. You—you make me
younger, Madge; you make me forget
seven whole years.”
“Seven whole years?” echoed the
lady.
“Actually. In imagination I wear a
rose in my buttonhiole again and am
particular about the fit of my gloves.
What an enchantress is a woman! You
do all this in an hour with a few kind
words.”
"It would be very startling.” said
Mrs. Hillary, “if you really were a
rose. Come, let me find you one. And
—yes—I must certainly make time to
look you up one day. Your condition,
as you describe it, Sounds simply
dreadful.”
She selected a rosebud from a glass
on the table, and taking advantage of
the servant‘s absence pinned it in his
coat.
“That is better already,” she said
contemplating him critically, her head
on one side. .
“Do you know I think it was a very
fortunate thing for you, my poo-r old
hermit, that Fate threw you in my
way again? A few years more by
yourself, and you would have been
beyond repair. Now you may still
be done up.”
“With care,” agreed Vansittart.
“with great care and skill I incline to
think 'it is possible. There is one
thing, though, that continues to trouble
m'e. Supposing Sarah Brown should
leave? You have given me a nurse,
and I can view Robbins’ retirement
with equanimity; but supposing Sarah
should want to desert me too?”
There must have been more signifi-
cance is his tone than in his words,
for Mrs. Hillary blushed, and for a
moment trifled with her strawberries
nervously. '
“Sufficient for the day,” she mur-
mured.
“Is the good it has given me,” he
concluded. “Well, perhaps so. It has
certainly been a very generous day
indeed. But you won’t forbid me to
look forward to the morrow, will you?
A day like this without a to-mo-rrow

would be as bad as an hers d’oeuvre '

without a dinner.”
“In some ways,” said Mrs. Hillary,
“MELLOWING” SMALL STATAURY.
A Cheap and Snnple \Vay to Give Now
Pieces the Ivory Tint.
Nowadays when small casts of the
great pieces of statuary are beginning
to replace the hopelessly inartistic
bisque shepherds and sheperdesses of’
a decade or two ago, it is a matter of
economy for the mistress of the house
to understand the art of “ivorizing.”
The glaring white Venus of Milo,
which one may purchase from the bas-
ket of the peripatetic art dealer, may
be made softly mellow and beautiful
at about onetenth of the price neces-
sary to buy her already “mellowed.“
The medallion heads of the poets, mu-
sicians and conquerors of the world
with which aesthetically intellectual.
young persons love to adorn their
rooms, are also much improved by be-
ing subjected to the mellowing process-
Besides the cast, the requirements
for the work are a cake of white soap,
powdered raw sienna and turpentine,
with a large stock of patience, care
and painstaking. The process with
all its different, trying periods, requires
about three days. The first expert
ment should be made on either cheap
or damaged casts.
Fill two large tins or basins with
water. Then make the water very
soapy by rubbing in it a cake of white
soap. Use the contents of one of these
vessels for bathing your cast. After-
ward let it become thoroughly dry.
Then take the second basin. put into
the soapy water enough powdered raw
sienna to color the water to a pale tint,
and bathe the cast with the solution
three times, allowing it to dry between
each application. The raw sienna is
deceptive, and it is better to give three
washes and produce a gradual shade.
than to use the wash but once, and
produce a too somber effect. The tint-
ing of raw sienna is then put on with
a brush. Next melt some beeswax on
a stove or above the gas. and thin it
with turpentine. Pour this mixture
over the cast, and the result of your
labors is ready for a room with a dry
atmosphere, where it should remain
over night. The final touch is that of
polishing with a dry cloth or a. bit of
Chamois—New York Sun.
PARISIAN OMNIBUSES.
There is No Crowding and Strap-hanging
Upon These Vehicles.
On all the streets of Paris one of the
features most noticeable to a foreign-
er, perhaps. is the little omnibus sta-
tion so characteristic of Paris. The
Parisian omnibus system, by the way.
is an excellent one when you under-
stand it. But you usually have to be
put off a ’bus two or three times be
fore you appreciate its merits. In time
you discover that the vehicle stops
regularly-at little stations, where those
who understand the system obtain bits
of pasteboard bearing numbers in the
precise order of their application for
them, entitling them in the same or-
der to the vacant seats in the ’buses
as they arrive. These little stations
being not far apart, it is a matter of
no difficulty to obtain these numbers,
and when that is done the system se-
cures, as you see, a perfect applica-
tion of the rule. “First come,
served.” For when the ’bus stops,
just opposite the little station, an offi-
cial comes out, and, standing behind
it, calls ed the numbers in their or-~
der, and the would-be passengers, as
their numbers are called, take the va-
cant places. then all the vacancies
are filled‘the ’bus drives on, and those .;
whose numbers come next in order
have. of course, the first chance at the
vacancies on the filling ’bus.
And now let me mention another
feature of this omnibus system which
I think is worthy of our notice. Each
omnibus and each street carin Paris——
for the street car system is practically
the same—is built to seat a certain
number of persons. That number is
indicated upon the exterior of the ve-
hicle, and when it is complete no more
are permitted to enter under any cir
cumstanoes—Chautauquan.
An Opening for a Ginger-Peeler.
A new machine is wanted in the
West indies in the ginger industry.
The export of ginger from Jamaica
amounted last year to over $250,000,
and the trade is capable of considera-
ble expansion. The cleaning and pre-
paring of the ginger for the market,
as now performed by hand, is a slow. i
primitive, tedious,and wasteful pro-
cess. After the roots are dug, they
are washed, 'and the outer skin is re-
moved by means of a small, sharp
knife, resembling the blade of a pen-
knife. As the roots are very irregu-
larly shaped. this process involves the
loss of a large percentage of the root,
which is broken OK or cut away in re-
moving the skin. The peeling of the
ginger is an important matter in deter-
mining the market value of the pro-
duct. An expert can peel by hand
about one hundredweight of uncured
ginger in the cofirse of a working day,
for which he is paid 60 cents—St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
A Pleasant Custom.
For perhaps a couple of hundred
miles along the Michigan Central Rail-
road there prevails in summer the
pretty custom of presenting a flower
to each woman traveling on either of
the two express trains that pass over
the read every day. The company has
expended much time and money in
beautifying the line of the road and

ACCUSED PERFEGTLY CALM.
Little Progress Made In the- Effort to-
Unravel the Murder of the Turkish
Bath Attendant -— Some of the‘
Most Recent Theories.
i New York, July 7.——1‘x‘l~'rs-. Augusta.
Nack, the German midwife who is ac-
cused of the murder of W’illiam Gulden-
suppe. the Turkish bath. rubber, with
whom she lived, was taken from her
cell in the Jefferson Market prison to-
day and arraigned before Magistrate
Flammer in his private examination
room. The examination did not go on,
however, as the district attorney’s rep-
resentative asked for an adjournment
and it was granted. The date set for
the next hearing was. Friday at 10:30
o’clock.
The ostensible reason for the ad-
journment was the fact that Assistant
District Attorney Mitchell, who has
charge of the case, could not be present
owing to the death of his brother. Mrs.
Nack’s counsel said that the real reason.
was to gain time so that the grand jury
could bring an indictment, and the case
thus be taken out of the police court,
the prosecution not having to show
their hand. Magistrate Flammer said‘,
however, that he would insist upon fin.
ishing~ an examination of the accused
in his court, and that he would not all—-
low the case to. go before any other
tribunal before he had passed upon. it.
Another reason urged for delay was
that the district attorney ‘of Queens
county, Mr. Young, should have time to
look into the case. He was present in
court this morning and said that he
had been notified by the police of this
city that the crime in all probability
was committed in his jurisdiction. It is
likely that at the next hearing a. motion
will be made to remand Mrs. Rack into
the custody of the Queens county au—
thorities, if the police still hold to their
theory that the murder was committed
in Woodside, N. Y.
Grand Jury to Investigate.
Special instruction was given to the
grand jury, sworn in today by Judge
Newburger, in part one of general ses-
= sions, to inquire fully into the mysteri-
ous murder of William Guldensuppe
' and to find indictment against the par-
ty or parties believed to have been con—
cerned in the commission of the crime.
‘ The district attorney is anxious to
have an. indictment found as soon as
possible against ‘Mrs. Augusta Nack
and Martin Thorn, who are charged
with the murder.
Although there were many finds yes-
terday and last night, the status of the
case has in no way changed since Sat-
urday. The elusive Martin Thorn has
not been found, and the whereabouts
of the head of the murdered man is as
great a mystery as ever. 3.
No additional evidence has been
found against Mrs. Nack, and so far
the case against her is purely circum-
stantial in character. Although the po-
lice are satisfied that Mrs. Naek lured
.Guldensuppe from the Murray Hill
Turkish bath establishment to a house
at Woodside, N. Y., where he was mur-
dered in a bathtub, there is no positive
1evidence on that point. Neither has
there been a positive identification that
Mrs. Nack was the woman who hired
the house at Woodside to which, it is
claimed, Guldensuppe was lured.
i Blood spots, scores of them, have been
found in the flooring of the Woodside
house, and half a dozen chemists have
been at work analyzing them. They
have pronounced the stains to be blood,
but there the scientific men stop, for
science has not yet reached that point
iwhere it can distinguish human blood
'from that of several animals. A few
experts like Dr. Scheele have claimed
to be able to do so. but the majority of
f chemists say it is impossible.
Dagger and Razor Found.
Among the “finds” was the discovery
that a dagger had been picked up by a
child one week age within a short dis-
tance from the Woodside house.
Every nail. screw, knife, hammer or
, anything of that kind found around
gthat section now is put down as having
been the property of Martin Thorn and
as having been the implement used in
the commission of the murder.
For that reason the dagger is be-
‘ lieved to have belOnged to the fugitive.
The father of the child who found the
idagger sold it a few days ago to a col-
-ored captain of a canalboat, for whom
. the police are now looking.
The dagger blade is seven inches in
ilength. It had a hilt of brass and a
Eheavy buckhorn .handle. It was in a
leather sheath.
Another article found was a. razor
:badly nicked. It was discovered by
’some men in the woods at Cliffside,
labout two miles from Fort Lee, where
Mrs. Nack and Thorn took their famous
surrey ride on Saturday a week ago.
Strange Tragedy on the Lake.
Cleveland, July 7.——A man 60 years of
age who hired a skiff was accompanied
by a Woman of 40. The man said the
woman was his daughter and that she
was weak minded. They rowed out,
and the boat hovered about one spot.
Finally they appeared to engage in a
scuffle, and one of them fell or jumped
from the boat. The other followed.
There is no clew to their identity.
Four People Drowned.
Little Rock, July 7,—An accident oc-
curred on the river which resulted in
. the drowning of four people. Miss San-
ders, Miss Arber and the Dante broth-
ers were in a skiff on the river, where
they had gone to view the fireworks.
- When the pyrotechnic display was over,
.the pleasure steamer U. K. Riggs ran
into the skiff and upset it.
Baby Killed by a. Fall.
New York, July 7.—A fall from 3. ba-
by’s chair caused. the death of 7-month-
‘ Old John Lynch of 136 Cherry street.
The child, while left unguarded for a
moment by his patients, upset the chair
and fell to the floor. He was removed
to Gouverneur hospital, where he died.
New York Butter For Australia.
Vancouver. B. 0., July 7.—Sixty tons

by the steamer VVarimoo. This is the
first shipment .of American butter ever
sent from here to Australia.
Preliminary Emmination‘ lint Off Uri-
THE ‘OBSTINATB TURKS.
They Will Not Submit to the Peace Con-
ditions of the Powers.
Constantinople, July 7..—The decision
of the council of ministers, contrary to
expectations. was not. favorable to the
demands of the embas-sadors relative
to the Grew-Turkish. frontier negotia-
tions. wThe situation, therefore, has be-
come much strained, the Turkish reply
virtually implying a.- rupture of the ne-
gotiations and that the powers must
make-concessions or adopt measures to ,
enforce their decisions;
It is reported that the grand vizier
has told. the sultan that he will never
sign an agreement based on the strate~
gic line proposed by the emha-ssadors.
It is thought in some quarters, how- -
ever. that the attitude of the Turkish
government is designed to enable the
sultan to yield later by sacrificing some
of his ministers, and rumors of impend—
ing cabinet changes are already cur-
rent.
The bourse at Galata is largely af-
fected by the situation. There has been
a. considerable fall in Turkish Consoli-
dated securities. The Turks are sell-
ing them freely, some circles express-
ing the opinion that Turkey will yield.
only to European pressure.
Turkey: Urged to Yield.
St. Petersburg, July 7.—The Novoye
'4 Vremya strongly exhorts the Turkish
government to abandon any further
subterfuges in the negotiations for
peace between Greece and Turkey un-
less the latter country wishes the pow-
ers, to adopt harsh measures in- order
to enforce their peace programme.
OAMDBN’S RAGE RIOT.
Crap Game Caused It, and Razors and
Pistols Were Used.
Camden. N. J., July T.——-A crap game
led to a. row at Mount Ephraim avenue
and Sycamore street- It was responsi-
ble for a race riot in which two colored
men were shot. ’
One of them, James Carter of 332
Joint alley, has a pistol wound in the
abdomen and is believed to be dying
in Cooper hospital. The other, Harry
Cooper, was wounded in the leg. He
was able to go to his home, 766 Pine
street.
The police arrested four white men——
Harry Peters, Frank White, John Mc-
Donald and Harry VVhitaker—after an
exciting chase, and they are held for
examination.
The crap game was between whites
and blacks, all of whom had been drink-
ing freely. A dispute arose and in the
row the white men seized the stakes
and fled. One of those who had gath-
ered up the stakes was espied by some
of his antagonists and they immediate-
ly pounced upon him.
He had friends who sprang to his res—
cue. however. and then trouble began.
That part of the city swarms with ne-
groes and low whites, and in a. trice the
streets were full of excited men and
boys with razors and pistols.
The rioting crowds ran up and down
the streets of the Seventh ward, whites
chasing blacks and police charging both
amid a. horrible din. A number of the
participants were slightly out, but their
friends removed them before the police
learned who they were.
Electricity to Improve Liquor.
New Haven, July 7.-—-The officials in
the internal revenue office here have
completed a series of interesting tests

large percentage of the fusel oil and
other impurities were removed by the
precess without changing the proof.
Both His Legs Cut Off.
Norwalk, 0., July 7.—A severe wind-
storm swept Buggies beach, near Hu—

Washington, July 7.41m. Republican
senators decided in, caucus today not
to make the sugar bounty proposition
3 party measure. It was the opinion
:that pushing a sugar bounty provision
lat this time would delay the passage of
the tariff bill for weeks, and. for this
reason it was agreed. to drop it. An
understanding was reached, however,
:to take up the subjectat the beginning-
of the ,regular session. in December,
‘when the sugar bounty. will be made. a.
:party question.
_' Senators Denounce Trusts.
Washington, July til—Without any
preliminary business. the senate today
proceeded with the consideration. of. the
tariff bill.
Mr- Bacon made a. personal. explana-
tion of his vote yesterday. for Mr. Mills’
amendment to impose a. tax of 5 per
cent on all manufactured products. He
had, he said, giventhe amendment his
vote without due deliberation. If the
imposition of such. a tax could, be con-
fined to the Sugar trust and other gi-
gantic concerns existing in. open viola.—
tion of the law, it would, upon medita-
tion, commend itself to his judgment,
but as it would touch every village and
hamlet in the land and lay its hand
upon the most humble he frankly
avowed his regzet for the vote cast
yesterday. .
Mr. Bate (Dem... Tenn.) then took the
floor and delivered a set speech against
the bill. He made a general argument
against the measures from the stand-
point, as he announced, of an advocate
of “fair trade and free silver.” The
senator analyzed the bill in its bearing
on the agricultural industry, saying it
was designed to fool the farmer by
giving him fictitious protection on his
products, while real protection was giv-
en to all the articles consmned by him.
He criticised the steady extension of
the protective policy, saying the slogan
of the day was “a tariff for robbery”
instead of” “a tariff for revenue.” It ar-
rayed us against the world, making the
United States the Ishmael among na-
tions.
Mr. Pettus (Ala) then offered an
amendment declaring unlawful the im-
portation of sugar by any trust or com-
bination operafing in restraint of trade
or for the purpose of advancing the
price of sugar. The amendment also
provides for the forfeiture of sugar so
imported and directs the attorney gen-
eral to enforce the forfeiture and to
prosecute trusts, combinations, etc.
The senator spoke at length in sup-
port of the amendment, referring to the
gradual absorption of wealth in the
hands of vast concerns.
Mouopolists Denounced.
He denounced as a public enemy the
man who gathered into his control an
article of prime necessity, for he perpe—
trated a wrong on all the people for
his personal gain and satisfaction.
Mr. Chilton (Tex.) followed with an-
arraignment of trusts, arguing that
they were fostered by the tariff. He
explained the operation of his antitrust
amendment at length and argued that
it furnished a. feasible method of reach-
ing the great trusts engaged in inter-
state commerce. He would vote for
the amendments of Mr. Nelson and Mr.
Pettus, but he felt that neither of them
would strike quite deep enough. If on
every barrel of sugar, said he, there
were branded the number of business
rivals crushed by the Sugar trust, the
number of laborers thrown out of em-
ployment, the number of dollars con-
tributed to political campaign funds,
few American citizens would welcome
cheaper sugar at the price of so much
corruption and disgrace. Trusts were
beyond the reach of states. They
seemed to be beyond the power of the
federal government. Every gun shotted
for them was spiked.
Mr. Morgan followed with another
speech against trusts. He favored the
amendment of his colleague, Mr. Pet-
tus, but said he would attach to it an-
other and more farreaching proposition.
He thought seizure and confiscation,
provided for by Mr. Pettus' amend-
ment might, as in the case of the Sugar
trust, enable the trust to put up the
price of sugar pending action in the
courts and he suggested a modification
which would provide for the immediate
sale of articles seized. Sugar was in
many respects the leading feature of
this bill, because it touched every hu-
man being in the country. It would re-
quire a good deal of hardihood for a.
senator to support a schedule upon
which so much obloquy had been cast.
The pending bill, he said, would prove
an incubator of trusts.
