A DISGRACEFuL SCENE.

In the United States Senate last
Sunday night Senator Riddleberger,
of Virginia, again appeared in an
intoxicated condition. He became so
noisy and disorderly that the presi-
dent pro tenn. had to order the Ser
geanl- at Arms to remove him from
the Chamber.
This was done with the assistance
of deputy, the Senator being reno
we'd from his seat to a cloak-room
and afterwards conveyed to his ho-
tel. 1t was most disgraceful scene,
the like of which it is hoped will not
again occur, and caused great excite
ment among the Senators and spec
tators.
Capt. Riddleberger is man of
many excellent traits of character,
thoroughly honest, brave, chival-
rous, reliable in his business dealings
a man who is true to his friends,
but untrue to himself. A gentleman
when sober, this unfortunate habit
is his only great fault, and we voice
the regret of thousands in deploring
his unscemly conduct on this occa-
sion.
His term as Senator expired on
Monday. May the God of Battles
help him to yet gain the victory in
this struggle with himself.

A possibility not hitherto perceiv-
ed appears in the drift of sentiment
in the territories confronted With
statehood. It's not improbable that
two of them will ask to come into
the Union with constitutions provid-
ing for woman suffrage. Washing
ton and North Dakota and possibly
South Dakota will force this qnes-
tion to the front.

FORM A LAND COMPANY.

n 1eadlnS tobacco manufactures
of Winston, a gentleman who has
made handsome fortune and owns
a large amount of real estate here
was talking to THE SENTINEL the
other day about methods for advanc-
ing our city and suggested an idea
that is worth acting upon.
As it is at present, some property
owners are discouraged from spend-
ing money on public improvements
because others who own large amounts
of real estate will not bear their por-
ton of the expense.
Now suppose twenty-five or fifty
of the largest free-holdersI were to
form land company, let commit
tee of disinterested parties assess the
value of their property, put it in as
part of the capital stock and incor-
porate the company. Then we would
have a company worth several mil
lions of dollars. 1t could afford to
offer inducements to manufacturers
to come here; it would put in a
street railway, build new hotel and
do anything else that would enhance
the value of city property.
The expense of adding these i'm
provements, like the profits, would
be shared by all and we would have
a unity of action that would trans
form this town of $4,000 inhabi-
tants into a thriving, busting city
within very short time.
But somebody will say: at can't
be done. You can never get the
property holders to agree to it." As
an answer to this, we believe in
Stonewall Jackson's maxim: "What
man has done man may do again"
1t has been done in Chattanooga,
Tenn, and in several Alabama towns,
now why can't it be done in Wins
ton-Salem?
Several years ago Chattanooga was
dull town. A land company was
organized Tin which there is a con-
siderable amount of Winston capitar)
and it proceeded to push the town.
Land and cash were offered as sub
scriptions to the stock of any indus
try, large or small, that would add
to the population and wealth of the
town; street car lines were built ;
gas and electric light plants were
put in; good houses were built for
rent and city property held by the
company was offered to immigrants
at a reasonable figure. The result
was that Chattanooga moved for
ward with gigantic strides and to-
day is one of the largest and most
prosperous towns in the South, with
a future that promises even more
grandly stretching out before it.
This success of the town made
handsome profits to the stockholders
in the land company and however
reluctant they were to 60 into the
company on the start, to-day they see
that they made the wisest invest
ment possible.
Now this plan may or may not
be practicable in Winston-Salem.
The citizens may or may not take
hold of it. The only way to find
out is to try them. The only way
to try them is for the Chamber of
Commerce to take hold of the matter.
Fit does succeed it will push this
town far ahead of what it now is
andif the plan doesn't carry, nobody
is hurt and no money is lost.
Gentlemen of the Chamber OF
Commerce: Will you kindly look
into this matter?

Tn theory we have in this country

In theory we have in this country
an indissoluble Union of indestruct-
iblc States. There is no method
known to the Constitution by which
a State can be destroyed. But the
example of Nevada would seem to
indicate that State may be in dan
ger of perishing by a sort Of dry rot.
Its population has been gradually
slipping away from it. In 1876 the
State cast about 10000 votes; in
1888, the total vote was less than
1900. A scheme to save the State
is an amendment to the Constitution
authorizing a State lottery. The
amendment has just been voted
down, and some other plan must be
tried to pay the expenses ofthe State
Government.

BY referring to our legislative
proceedings, it will be seen that the
Senate on last Thursday defeated
the railroad commission bill. So
far us The SENTINEL. and this Sec
ton are concerned, we believe it was
the best disposition that could have
been made of the bill at this partic-
ular time. We do not imagine that
railroad commission would have
aided ua any in the completion Of
our railroad enterprises, while it was
possible that such a commission
might have interferred with the
completion of the roads now in
course of construction. We are,
therefore, content.

SUGAR TRUST DECISION.
The North River Refining Company Con
demned.

The North River Refining Company Con-
demned.
New York, Nov. 9.-The general
term of the Supreme Court handed down
decisions, among them being the long
expected one in the case of the North
River Sugar Refining Company, which
was some time ago Incorporated in the
sugar trust. The decision was written
by Justice Danf6ls, Presiding Justice
Van Brunt and Justice Brady cOncurring.
In his opinion, Justice Daniels, after
speaking Of the sugar trust, says: "The
laws do not require that an instrument
of this kind shall affirm the intention to
prevent competition and control the
market or advance the price Of the neces-
sary commodities. If it did, it would
by the requirements supply device for
evading it's wholesome restrainst and
render its principles utterly nuga-
tory. In this case it was a leading object
of the combine to gather the different
corporations and individuals employed
in the business throughout the country
and to secure control of them for an in
definite period of time. This was done
to place the business within the control
of the association and derive pecuniary
benefit from such action. When control
Is secured IN this way human selhshness
is sure to turn it to profitable account.
A jury certainly would be justified in
concluding from the facts and the evil
dence in the case that the governing OBJ
ject of the association was to raise the
price of the product by limiting the sup
ply. That the intention of this combi-
nation, agreement, association or what
ever else it may be called, was to raise
the price of a necessary of life by limit
ing the supply is apparent and as such
is subject to the condemnation of the
law, by which it is denounced as Grim
inal enterprise
The court held that the object of the
trust plainly was to create monopoly,
that such acts are unlawful and there
fore the Judgment of the lower court
(Which is against the trust) is affirmed.

Sewer Near Where tine Bloody Trunk
Was Discovered.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The sensation in
connection with the aIl-absorbing Gro
min case yesterday was the finding Of
the surgical case and clothes of the
murdered physician and the forging Of
another link in the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence that clanks ominously
around the conspirators. For some time
complaints have been made to the sewer
department of the Lakeview station
that the sewer at the intersection of
Evanston avenue and Buena avenue
was flush and running over. Yesterday
twoor three sewer cleaners were detailed
to investigate the cause of this trouble.
The cover was removed from the man
hole in the center of the street and with
the long poles the workmen prodded
among the rubbish beneath the water.
Finally solid resistance was encoun-
tered and the workmen then realized
that it was something more than allu-
vial deposit that was causing the trouble.
After some hooking and digging two
valises were unearthed-One a leather
one and the other the remnants
of a paper one. In the leather va
lise was found DR.. Cronin's prescription
book with several prescriptions bearing
his signature. The paper one dropped
into pieces as it was pulled out and from
it rolled out a mass of tattered clothing
that bore evidence of having been cut
in strips by sharp knife. The only in
tact garment was the vest which was in
the center, and which encircled the
doctors case of surgical instru-
ments. The clothing had evidently
been cut and buttons removed in the
hope that they would soon drop apart
and be borne away in the waters of the
lake. The surgical case and prescrip-
tion book bore the doctors name, and
they, as we'll as every article of out
ward clothing, were recognized by
the Conklins and other friends
as the property of the murdered
physician. The most damaging of all
circumstances for the prisoners is the
fact that all this was found only one
block from the spot where the bloody
trunk was discovered after it had been
thrown hurriedly from the wagon on
the night of May 4, or half mile south
of the spot where DIR. Cronin's body was
found. The paper valise is supposed to
have been the one purchased by y. r.
Simmonds' from A. H. Revell & Co,
and to-day clerk from that establish
ment will endeavor to identify the rem
