EVADIKG THE LAW.

1t is one of the striking features of the
trust situation that it is already announced
on behalf of the Sugar Trust that it will
change its form of organization so as to avoid
the decision of the New York Supreme
Court declaring the trust to be illegal.
That decision was to the effect that the
trust was made illegal by its objects, which
were the criminal ones of engrossing the
market, limiting production and establish
ing monopoly. The only way in which
that decision can be obeyed, therefore, is to
dissolve the trust and let each sugar refinery
conduct its business independently,
Yet the announcements made by the
managers of the trust show that they expect
to bring a plan of organization which shall
preserve the illegal purpose of shutting off
competition while evading the law as stated
by the court. In other words, it is the idea
that the phase of the trust which has already
been declared to fix its illegal character can
be continued and the criminal policy kept
up, if the form of incorporation is changed.
1t is time that lesson was given to the
aggregations OF wealth in this land that it is
their business to respect the spirit of the law
which protects them, instead of trying to
dodge its letter.

COMPETITION FOR THE STANDARD.

While there is persistent dispute as to
the reported sale of the Craig and Elkins
petroleum interests to the Standard, rumor
does not wait for that question to be settled
before bringing out a new one of no less
importance as to the springing up of new
competition with the ruling petroleum COM
bination. This time it is an organization
of the producers with capitalists of the
East to put Sc. .000, 900 into competing pipe
lines, and 100000 into competing re-
fneries.
Such a purpose as this was outlined for
the Producers Association in its original
inception; and it was the desertion of that
clear and Independent policy for the delu-
sions of the shutdown movement that THE
DISPATCH regarded and still regards as the
mistake of the association for the past two
years. If the policy of establishing COM
peting pipelines and encouraging hide
pendent refining is steadily adhered to, the
end of the Standards supremacy in the
petroleum business is only a question of
time.
1t is not vital whether the reports of this
project are exactly correct or not 1t is
possible that such combination may lead
to further consultations. But it is plain
that so long as the Standard is unable to
squeeze out competitors by freight discrim-
nations, every purchase that it makes of
competing concerns is only premium for
new ones. No sooner is the report heard of
a purchase of the Crsig-Elkins interests,
under circumstances which assure that, if
the sale Is reality, fair price must have
been paid, then a S12,0OO,0Oo competitor
springs into sight. If that is bought up an
other will take its place, and so on until the
Standard falls to pieces of its own weight.
Of course, if the Standard could choke off
these competitors by freight Determinations
it would do so. As it does not, the infer
ence is permitted that the Interstate COM
merce act is making itself felt on the petro-
leum monopoly as 1t has already done on
the Cotton Seed Oil Trust.

PARTISAN sTATE-GRABBING.

It is an interesting fact that the methods
by which the Republicans seem to have Sc
cured Montana afford a close parallel to
those by which the Democrats secured West
Virginia. In the former State Democrat
was elected in the face of the returns; in
the latter Republican. In both States an
honest and united effort to secure the fair
rectifcation of frauds, would have been
above criticism; but in each the desire to
obtain partisan advantage prompted the
grabbing by one party of whatever points it
could hold, and the subsequent cry of fraud
by the other. The foundation of free
government should make all parties anxious
to insure that the count shall be above re-
proach; but our politicians are unable to
rise to that ordinary height of citizenship.
Some day or other the people will see the
necessity of having election contests de-
cided by a tribunal which shall be sufi-
ciently impartial to place fairness above
party advantage.

THE AFRICAN QUESTION.

The appeals of Cardinal Lavigerie and
Sir Samuel Baker to the civilized world,
with reference to the redemption of Central
Africa, start from slightly different motives,
but have a similar object. The Cardinals
crusade is simply against the slave trade,
and he calls upon Christendom to suppress
that great iniquity by armed force. Sir
Samuel Bakers article includes that point,
but takes in also the restoration and preser-
walton of the work that has been done in
opening up Central Africa.
1t is point of much gravity to civiliza-
ton that the work which was commenced in
1861 by the explorations of Burton, Speke,
Grant and Baker, in exploring the upper
Nile and lake regions in Africa has been
nearly all lost. The last station on the
upper Nile was lost with Emin Pasha. The
route to the Tanganyika has been closed by
the wars which have broken out on the
Zanzibar coast. What remains to civiliza-
ton is its hold on the Congo, secured by
Stanley's later discovery; and it is more
than suspected that the control of the upper
part of that river by Tippoo lib places it In
hands that cannot be relied upon.
1t hardly seems possible that the civilized
world should abandon a region of such i'm
mense possibilities to the horrors of the
slave trade and the darkness of barbarism.
The work may be hard one; but the
generation which opened and explored that
great continent when it was a vast mystery
ought to be succeeded by one which is able
to preserve the results of those discoveries
to civilization.

PlTTsBURG, TUESDAY. NOV. Il, 1889.
coNvFRsE,s GREAT IDEA.

A whole sermon on the value of political
pledges is to be found in the remarks of the
Hon. George L. Converse, of Ohio, on the
propriety of giving Senator Payne ''vindi-
cation" by re-electing him to the United
States Senate.
During the Ohio campaign the declaration
was made, time and again, that Senator
Payne would not stand for reelection. To
have it understood otherwise would bring
the Standard Oil Company and the pro-
ceedings which gave the Senator his seat too
prominently into the campaign. But not
withstanding all these denials, the Demo
Gratis have not been in possession of their
victory a week until Mr.. Converse perceives
the necessity of returning the amiable old
gentleman who has not for siIyears been able
to make the short speech required to ask for
an investigation OF the charge that his seat
was q purchased one.
No one will be likely to dispute that
Senator Payne is in need of vindication.
How his reelection, either at the same
price as his first one, or free of expense, will
disprove the charges Of the past use of
money, is something that the statesmanlike
Converse does not condeseend to explain.
But it is certain that such a candidacy
would make business active in the Demo
cratic caucus of this winter.
If the Standard was guilty of supporting
the Republicans this year, Mr.. Converse is
evidently determined that it shall rot lose
its Senatorial representation, by the error.

the inherited wealth Of the tribe and to the
protection of the courts in life liberty and pur-
suit of happiness. He is not entitled to be
supported in idleness. The Indians must con-
form TO the white mans ways, peacefully if
they will, forcibly if they must They must
adjust themselves to their environment and
conform their mode of living substantially to
our civilization. The paramount duty of the
hour is to prepare the rising generation of the
Indians for the new order of things thus forced
upon them
1t is one thing to write in department
report that the Indian must change his mode
of life, his devices, his instincts, and become
IN American citizen in thorough sympathy
with nineteenth century civilization, and
altogether another to accomplish such
stupendous revolution in fact II Mr..
Morgan were to insist upon the Indian
changing the color of his skin it would not
be much more imprscticable than some of
the mutations he says are demanded by the
logic of events. As usual with those who
want to improve the Indians BY patent pro-
cess, Mr.. Morgan says that if they will not
conform peacably to the white mans ways,
they must be forced to do so. It is the sane
old plan, Mr.. Morgan. You are only another
of the big band who have been so successful
in improving the Indian off the face of the

EAST BIND. EAST Find.

The decision of the Supreme Court that a
man cannot be held responsible for sinking
q gas well on his own land close to a neigh
boris well just over the line, and taking
away some of the gas, settles novel and
important issue arising out of gas and oil
enterprises. In the light of the decision it
is rather hard to see how any other theory
could be held. 1t is impossible to tell from
under whose land the gas is drawn, or
whether the first well is not really taking its
product from the subterranean reservoirs
under the land of the man who sinks the
second. Beside which, gas, oil and water
are products OF nature, which belong to the
people who are able to catch and use them.
1t is very desirable to own gas and oil; but
the man who wishes to make his title good
must tie them up with pipes and tanks.

PROPOSED POSTAL RATE CHANGES.
Third and Fourth Class Matter May be
HnFraH HnI,- n.

Third and Fourth Class Matter May be
United Under One Head.
Washington Bureau PhiladelphIa Times.1
Postmaster General Wanamaker will prob
ably recommend to Congress change in postal
rates which will be of considerable benefit to
the shippers Of small articles. The proposition
Is not entirely new and consists simply in
aboltshing the distinction between third and
fourth class mail matter and consolidating
them into one class at the third class rate.
The third class is for printed matter and the
rate is cent for TWO ounces, while the fourth
class is for merchandise, at the rate of L cent
Tor one ounce. The proposed change will
reduce by one-hah the rate on merchandise.
A statement prepared for the Postmaster
General, as the result of a count at some of
the larger Offices indicates that more than 20
per cent of the merchandise packages intrusted
to the mails are for points more than 50
miles distant from the mailing office. In other
words, so miles away. is the point where mail
the express service. Within so miles the
express companies can take large packages at
cheaper rates. The effect therefore, of a re-
ductlon OF rate would apparently be not so
much to increase the bulk of shipments to
distant points, as to bring within narrower
circle the limits OF competition by the express
companies.
This competition applies only to packages not
exceeding four pounds In weight. and which
can be safely intrusted to the mails. The ex-
press companies have always opposed any ex-
tension of the postal service into their field, and
they will undoubtedly oppose such a reduction
in rates as Mr.. Wanamaker thinks of recon-
mending. Their opposition may postpone, but
it can hardly defeat in the long run, so useful
reform. 1t is not altogether the reduction of
rate which constitutes the benefit of the
change, but the simplicity which it will intro
duce into the classification. The second-class of
mail matter is periodicals mailed by publishers
at pound rates, SO that under the proposed re-
form the public will have to do with only two
classes of matter-letters at cents per half
ounce, and all other matter at l cent for two
ounces.
