ONE OF HARRIsON's APPOINTEBs

Mr.. Eli e.. IIOrnidy of Indiana saws
the Washington correspondent of the
Republic, has retired from public ser
vice. a few days ago in these dis
patches Ellis record was ventilated to
certain extent. 1t will be remembered
that he started out IA a farmer; took up
with lewd woman and was egged out
of the town where he resided. He went
To Terre llaute and from Terre Hauir
to lndianapnlis, where he purchased
the "Long Branch" one of the most
notorious houses of i'll fame in the west
lie cOniidcnccd a name sake of his BY
claiming relationship With him ont OF
So ,OOO, and was indicted by the grand
jury of llaiGiItOn county for the offense.
He was very handy man around the
republican headquarters at Indianapo-
lis during the last canvass and did a
good deal OF hard work in rounding NJ
The t0u9hs of the city in blocks of five
oh election dny. Harrison knew him
well aud was entirely familiar with his
record He had to be rewarded'for the
work performed by him during the
canvass and was made timber inspees-
ter and assigned 20 duty ip Arizona
Hls nstfirai Tendency to cfookedness
sst.sertea iiseif ri tfi6 discharge of his
soifloiai fstltiessB the far of territory and
fcoap piaints began TO pour into tn
commissioner OF land office. These
complaints were so well sustained and
HOrnldy's general character being So
bad that the commissioner of land
office insisted on Secretary Mobiles dis:
missing Hurnidy from the public SER
vice. This was easier said than DONE
however, as Hornidy was personal ap
point ment of the president, and Secre-
tarY Noble had to get consent from the
White House before HOrnidy could be
fired. Harrison insisted that Hornid,
should he let down eaay, and the com
missioner OF the land office wrote him
letter ordering him to indianapolis
and then TO forward his resignation to
the department. Eli knew that an in
dlctment awaited MIN in Indiana and
he did not care to face it, so when he
received Commissioner Groffs letter
ordering him to resign when he reached
indianapolis he came to the conclusion
that he would turn his face southwark
instead OF eastward. lie sold a lot OF
government timber, stole two horses
and mans wife and lii out for Mexico.
Eli Is now enjoying life no doubt in the
land OF God and liberty, and his bonds
men III Indiana will no doubt have TO
whistle when his case is called in court
Bad as HOrnidy is, be is considerably
better than several others who were
appointed to federal offices from Indi-
ana. None of the others, however,
have as yet been invited to resign, and :,
no doubt, if Eli could have reirained
from thieving when he was sent to
Arizona he could still be enjoying his
salary and his honors as an officer Of
the government. Several tradesmen
and at least two banks at Prescott,
Ariz., are in mourning for Eli, but the
man whose wife he stole Is said to be
the happiest man in the territory.

THE ANTITRUST LAW.

The long list of Missouri corpora.
tons whose charters have been de-
clared forfeited by Secretary of State
Lesueur contains the names of MANY
companies which have been dead for
years. Others included i'm the list are
clearly not guilty OF violating the Sec
lions against combining to control
prices, but have failed through care
lessness or ignorance of the law to
comply with its requirement that a
sworn return should be made TO the
secretary of state, who has thus been
obliged by the mandatory provisions of
the law itself to declare such charters
forfeited. Others included i'm the list
are notorious for their combinations TO
control the market, and their forfeiture
of their charters is declared because
they were unable to make the oath re-
qulred OF them.
The law having thus been fairly put
III force, a test case should be carried to
the supreme court as soon as possible.
The secretary OF state has done his
duty fearlessly and thoroughly. If the
law stands, there is no question that its
enforcement will break up every trust
organized in the state by Missouri cor
pOrations, and il will be equally effec-
tive to prevent outside combinations
from operating here.
The situation presents novel fea-
lures, and prompt decision from the
supreme court is highly desirable. The
list of charters revoked includes zoo
granted by Missouri, and, in addition,
25O foreign corporations doing business
in the state are posted for refusal to
comply with the law. On the face OF
the law itself none of these foreign
corporations now have the right to do
business in the state and the Missouri
corporations are dead. Leaving out of
consideration the large number of cor
porations in the list which had ceased
10 exist though their names were still
carried on the books of the state de.
partment, there are included in the list
not few OF the largest business houses
i'll the west, and it is clear that their
relations TO the act must be definitely
and finally determined without delay.

BAD FOR TRUSTS.
! From the N. Y. Eerald, I


Trusts have received another deadly
blow in the decision of the Illinois
supreme court in the Chicago gas case
The companies propose to try another
combination in the hope OF avoiding or
evading the law as just interpreted by
Judge Magruder. But the outlook is
not encouraging for them. The prin,
ciples proclaimed at Ottawa are as
broad As they are wholesome. The
court declares that a combination to
crush ont competition, advance prices
and establish monopoly is contrary
10 public policy and the law of the land.
Any combine, either of gas companies
or any other concerns formed for that
purpose or producing that effect, cannot
hereafter flourish in the state of Illinois.
The decision follows those rendered in
this city by Judge Barrett and the
general term. 1t accords with popular
sentiment throughout the country and
is another victory of the people over
grasping trade bar

NO HOPE FOR KING.
The Railroad MnGnate Cannot Join the New
York Union Club-The Black Balls
Cast Against Him Cannot be

York Union Club-The Black Balls
Cast Against Him Cannot be
Recalled for Five Years.
NEW YORK, November 2O.-Mr. John
King was nominated for membership of the
Union Club by Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan,
and seconded by Mr.. d. o. Mills, and in
due course of nature his name was reached,
and after ballot, withdrawn" That is
the practice in the Union Club. When
candidate receives two black balls,
as Mr.. King did, the euphemistic
process of withdrawal of his name ensues
The occurrence created great deal of sur
prise. in the club and out of it, the rejec-
ton of a candidate of high personal charac-
ter and general distinction which Mr.. King
enjoys being wholly unprecedented in New
York club history. A strong protest was
entered with the Governing Committee, in
the form of the following remarkable petit
ton, signed by 300 members:
To the Governing Committee of the Union Club:
GENTLEMEN-The undersigned members of
the Union Club have learned, with regret, that
at the last (October) meeting of your commit
tee there was some objection to the election of
Mr. John King as member OF the club, and
withdrawn. We feel assured that any objec-
ton to Mr.. Kings election must have arisen
from inadvertence or want of cor
rect information as to the true charac-
ter and the high esteem in which he is held
by those who know him. socially and in busi-
ness way. We respectfully suggest that the
failure of election of such nominee, whose
name is reached in the regular course of pro-
cedure, is not only painful to his acquaintances
and friends in the club, but is hurtiul to the
club and unjust to the candidate. In the con-
viction that the committee will be anxious to
correct what we must think was an inadvertent
wrong, we respectfully urge that the action of
the committee be recons1dered at It's next
meeting, and that Mr.. King be admitted to
membership.
Mr.. Kings name was at once entered
anew upon the list of candidates, and the
Governing Committee met and after ami
mated debate decided that it was against all
precedent that the candidate could be con-
sidered until his name was reached In the
natural course of time, which would be
about five years. This was obviously
rather awkward evasion, and all well regu-
lated clubmen in New York are wondering
why the Governing Committee does not re-
sign in body.
A prominent club man, in answer to a
DISPATCH reporters inquiry tonight, said
that it was very well understood by insiders
that the opposition to Mr.. King was due to
the very remarkable Vaccinations of Mr..
Raymond Duval, a Southern railroad man,
who owes Mr.. King a very serious grudge
for incontinently firing him out of the Erie
Railroad when he assumed the presidency
of it, when he disembarrassed the property
of all sorts of parasites and leeches. Duval
is habitue of the Union Club, and of the
coterie from which the Governing Commit
tee is chosen.
