of the United States. /Evidently
there is an endless chain of trusts—
the republican party, the adminis
tration, the trusts and the trustful
people who are virtually forced to
vote for republican candidates.
Of an effort to force a republican
official to perform his sworn duty,
our Washington correspondent says:
“The local assembly of the Knights
of Labor proposes to see whether the
Attorney General can be compelled
to execute his sworn duty and pro
ceed against the trusts generally,
and the steel trust in particular, un
der the provisions of the Sherman
anti-trust law. Mr. Knox will be
cited on quo warranto proceedings
to show cause why he should hold
office without bringing action to en
force the laws. There is, of course,
little hope of securing apy satisfac
tory decision, or any decision at all,
for months and months to come, as
Mr. Knox is a past master in the art
of postponement, but he will sooner
or later be compelled to answer, and
the moral effect this is expected to
exert in favor of the .steel strikers
will be tremendous. Of course when
Mr. Knox, the attorney of the (Jar-'
negie Company and the man who
drew the articles under which the
steel trust is incorporated, was se
lected by the president to fill the re
sponsible post of attorney general, it
was well understood that he would
not trouble the trusts, despite the
fact that the efficacy of the Sher
man law has been upheld by the Su
preme* court in every instance where
a contest has been made. Some time
ago the department of justice gave
out a statement that it was seeking
for evidence against the trusts, but
feared that it would be unable to
secure any.”
A report from Savannah says of the

plan of vengeance.”
David Nation, husband of Mrs.

is unprecedented in its peculiarity,
being an affair of Nations, as well as
of a family. But this is not the first

family.

A Special Magazine Edition.
The sale of thousands of copies of
copies of a ten-cent magazine at one
dollar apiece was a very curious hap
pening at the time of the Chicago
World’s Fair. The Cosmopolitan
prepared a World’s Fa-r number,
contributed to by many famous wri
ters, and so thoroughly illustrated
that it surpassed even the most ex
pensive book which had up to that
time been issued. In those days the
magazine was printed from two sets
of plates only, and when these were
worn out it was impossible, without
a great loss of time, to put further
editions on the press. The news
dealers, taking advantage of this
condition, raised the price of The
Cosmopolitan’s World’s Fair number
to one dollar a copy. A few sales
were even made toward the close at
the phenomenal figure of five dol
lars. Undoubtedly this happening
is unique in the history of magazine
literature. The Cosmopolitan will
endeavor to repeat its past success,
with a Pan-American Exposition
numbed, which will be even more at
tractive, if possible, than its World’s
Fair predecessor.
The most famous writers of the
century have been invited to take
part in the preparation of this issue.
After many days’ careful study of all
the wonderful scenes of the Exposi
tion, more than a hundred photo
graphs have been prepared, which,
taken as a whole, give a thorough
conception of the marvels of this
Exposition.
It is doubtful if any book, selling
at forty times the price of the mag
azine, will give any description of
the Fair which will approach in in
terest and artistic value the Sep-

If the practicing politicians had
not attempted a lot of “slate-mak
ing,” the governorship campaign in
Georgia would not have been pre
maturely pulled off. They undoubt
edly have a few cards “up their
sleeves,” but we dare say they can
not keep them hidden throughout
the campaign. However, we are of
the opinion that the people will not
be in a great hurry, to align them
selves in favor of any candidate, but
will wait for developments as the
campaign progresses. South Geor
gians will not gain much if North
Georgia must name their candidate,
for a political consideration.
Those who visit the Fair will pre
serve this number as a delightful
reference-book in the years to come,
and those who are unable to go
there will secure sueh a comprehen
sive view of its main attractions as
will be well worthy of preservation.

by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal

have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe

years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a treatment which, when faith
