In connection with certain developments of thc trust problem in this countrv an Incident which occurred in Russia not long ago is interesting. There was an oil trust hi that land, and for a time it had things all its own way. Then it became so power ful that the imperial cabinet noticed it. and decided upon a plan of action It was decreed that thc Minister of Tmance Should confiscate the business of thc oil trust, and proceed to conduct it in the interests of the Czar. Thc Government would pay thc trust what its business was worth 'which did not necessarilv mean what the former owners considered it to be worth There was some commotion v.- .. m.ti .., i,m , ., a w.e.1 .-v "i. "i vuw ; ''" "m elf It so far as the compan was concerned 1 he impression of the general public in this countr is that the whole Rusaian Government Is one gigantic trust, and that Won nia be to some extent correct. It is ev to see how mich a polic as that pur sued In the case of the oil monopoly would cnd to crush out all business enterprise and retard the progress of the countrv, and, m fact, it has done so. The political and social sjstem in Russia is rather like be lock-step of a prison; no one person te allowed to move any faster than the one next in front of him, or slower than tbe parson immediatelj behind him. Intone vvho has ever walked in a procession knows that suoh a scheme of progress makes things move verj slowly. Nobody is al lord to get out of his foreordained place, in Russia, and the result is that the na tion advances at a rate unconscionably tflovr. The American svstem is just the reverse. "We require no one to keep step, siid above all. we hinder no- one from tak ing the leadership. This is hard on the weaklings -who cannot keep up. but the late of ceneraKm ogress is amazing This hvsteni has culminated in the im mense power or the trusts So far from the Governments confibcallnc; any Ameri can mauopolj. sjndicate. trust, or basi nets combination, it is m iome danger of beins; bodllv confiscated by them. At prc eut, the effect on the pccple at large is about the same, whether the trusts or the Gavcinment be supreme. There is. doubtless, corruption and mulcting of ths pool in IIusmp. owiug to the fact that the Goernmcnt official has absolute authority in manv things, and uses it for his own IH-oht. there is extortion tn this country, whoiever a &irall number of men have it in thotr hi cr to add millions to their private fortunes by imposing a small tax of a pr.un a wk or more upon the con sumer of some necef-e.iry article of food Ml things considered. hov ever, America has lmrpcaurablv (be adantage of Kuh la. in that the extortion of the trusts must b temporarv thine; at the worst- Condi- timi aie constantlj changing, and in a ts argued that in v icw of the fact that Mr. generation or two the immense fortunes Hobart left a foitune of manj millions, it which now gie men irresponsible power j cannot be that his wido has asked the will pas, iuto other hands, less fitted to Government to bear the expense of pre . , ,,, serving in appropriate form the nnc aua control their nffalis. and then will come ,t,nnInP w about the Vice Presl a general led.btitbution of property, and dent bv lhe Ulemuers 0f Congress.

P0LITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP. I'nuMnnl UxtriivnKtmce. Senator Piatt of Connecticut has introduced a reso lution to have pointed ani bound in sep erate volume the eulrgies delivered in the House and Senate on the late Vice Presi dent Holart. The lowest estimate of the work places the cost at ?1-.CC0 on the basis cf orl a fc.v thousand copies The roalt of Europe, it is said, seldom ever draws from the public funds a lll-c amount fo such a purpose. Every eulogy passed upon Mr. Hobart has been printed in the Con gressional Record and distributed broad cast over the countrj. Therefore it is held that Senator Plait's resolution cannot be in response to any rublic demand. On the contrarj. the fact that his resolution lim. its the number of the volumes to be printed to a few thousand shows that the Senator has no thought or desire to give this vol umc dc lux general distribution. The in ference Is that it Is intended olely for a i Fchrt circle of the dead man's friends It were poor jt is said there would he not tne slightest objection to the I'Jatt resolution Uut the plain tiuth teems to be that all of the intimate friends of the 1 ite V'4ce Presi dent are rich people, who could well afford to bear the cost of the v irk Senator I'latt js directing the Government to do without providing that even anv coiiiiuerame pan of the public sh ill share in the btiif fit he seeks to beftow upon the lev. people who will receive th luoposed olunie. lt:iilr lii'piu The Hon Joseph Weldou Baile.v Ins fled from Wflshii gton just at a time, it is pointed out when his services in the House could be of most value to his part Mr Baile has gone back to Tccas to formallv open his cam paign agairvst Senator Chilton The Sem tor will not leave heie for full a month et, thercb giving proof of thc difference in the vIow of the two men toward their public ai.d patty dutv It is tw that all of th noisv elements in the Texas Democ rat! aie folidlv irraed on thc side of Mr. Bailcv. ntturallr cau-mg him to believe that he r-lnhd has Senator Chilton beat en Thc conservative thoughtful men of the State are said to be a unit for Mr Chilton, whpe ireord in the Senate shows him to be olie of the clearest-headed and safest legt-lators in Washington The Sen ator alto is sa.d to be a pov er on the stump ard when he gets after Mi Bailey in Texas within the next six weeks one of the most exciting campaigns urthe countr ran be looked for If Mr B.-ilev is de feated for the Senate he will droo out of public life as hc has promised various gentlemen in his Congrcssion il district not to again ask for election to thc House.

A guileless citizen esterda asked one of the mo-t (i.stin guishcd Senators on the Republican side of the chamber this question ' Don't vou think it would have been belter for the part. Senator, if the Senate Republican caucuses on the Porto Rican Tariff bill nad been public instead of secret, to that ever) thing that was said could have been reported' The Senator give his ques tioner a look of withering pit, and then replied If ever) thing that has been said in our caucuses had been reported the countrv bv this time would be writhing in thc throes of fits. The Republican partv can do everything extept cure fits ' In his speech yesterday afternoon on thc Poito Rican bill Senator Spooner i sed language verj much like that quoted above Senator Cockrell had referred to the political dilemma which mainly ac counts for the Porto Rican Approp'inatlon bill that followed Mr. Henry Qxnard's tariff bill. The Senator from Missouri need not bother about an) dilemmi the Republicans ma) be in," smd Senator Spooner, "the part) is always able to extricate itself safely from dilemmas, a man) one of which it hns been in "We are not worrying ourselves on this side I of the chamber about dilemmas Even if we were in a dilemma we voubl know row to get out of it all nghL" And then after getting ever) body m the galleries excited about dilemmas and how the Republicans were going to get out of "whatever di lemma it may be in now." Senator Spooner suddenl shifted his remarks It was known that he has been much at the White House of late at the President's behest, and that the Porto Rican bill has been the subject of discussion at these conferences Hence it was natural for everyhod) to suppose that Senator Spooner was prepared to speak ex cathedra about dilemmas and how to get out ot mem, But not the faintest hint did he vouchsafe in the Senate vesterda) as to the moccss of extrication that his part) has selected In its present clilemim HnvrallN ( lilneno Population.

Mr. Evans said: ' The plan will take a little time to be come completely formulated. It will per haps be somewhat difficult to make eer) oue In the offiec view it from the broad standpoint of a question of justice to the old clerks "and of general benefit to the service As I proposed it in my last an nual report, it has met with hearty co operation from various legislative sources, and I think the outlook for the plan is most encouraging. "All European governments have a plan for retiring their clerks after a certain peiiod of service, and there is no reason wh) the United States should be behind hand in adopting like measures It should be alwavs understood, however, that thc retirement fund does not come from the national resources. It is furnished entire ly by the clerks themselves, and. is the result of a general co-operation among ail J he employs ot the office for the purpose of mutual benefit. "A precedent is furnished the Govern ment, in this connection, byt the National Soliders' Home, which is supported b) ever) man who enlists In the Arm), with the option of retiring there when his das ! of actual service are over. I sincerely trust that Congress v. ill take action In this matter, which. I believe, must appeal to every disinterested person as a ques tion of right and Justice, and a graceful tribute from thc service to the veterans who have rendered It faithful and effi cient aid " ITALY'S COTTON INDUSTRY.

BALTIMORE March 16 Referring o the demand made bv the Maryland and Pennsvlvania miners at a conference now in session at Mtoona, Pa of 60 cents a ton for pick mining in both the Pennsylvania ?nd Western Maryland diotricts, a Bal timore operator in Allegany and Garrett counties eaterday said ' The Pennsylvania miners have been promised 60 cont3 a ton. and they insist that thc Mar.vland men demand the sam rate, which i an increase of 3 cents a ton. But th Conditions ot the two districts are different In the central Penns)lvania dis trict. wLere the miners have been prom ised 60 cents a ton. the railroads charge the operators It cents less per ton than fa Western Mary'and -Moreover the coal veins in Central Penrsvlvania are only from three to four I feet th'ck while those in Western Mary- t . . ..... A . ..1.. nn r.a in .Ka lanu are .rom -ccu iu cicicu ic. m iun.iv ncss Therefore the work for the miners in Western Mar) land is much easier than for thos in Central Penns)Ivania. A largo number of roal miners in the Pennsylvania district also make coke, which has- taken a far higher advance than coal in propor tion to the output, anil therefore those op erators who are minins and shipping coal and coke can afford to pa their miners more than thc operator In Western Mary 'and, where no coke is made "This offer of a 55-cent-a-ton rate ap pears to have been favorahly received bv the Mar) land miners, for it is an increase of 22 per cect over what they have been receiving and ts the highest rate offered for eighteen years. However. I cannot say we exnect any trouble over the matter, as an agreement will doubtless be reached." CURRENT HUMOR. Ife- Lnilertood. (Pioni .he Clcvelard Plain IValer.)
