general control now declared to be entirely
void. Consequently the various sugar re-
| fneries held by the trust belong to the
original and several owners from whom the
trust obtained them, and all that the GER
titieate holders can expect in equity would
be the return OF the money or consideration
originally paid for the properties. Settle
ment upon this plan would be an almost
endless task, which is probably the reason
why the plan OF settlement indicated by the
courts will be the easier but less logical onei
OF returning to the different corporations
their respective properties, and of selling
the other assets of the trust and distributing
among the certificate holders.
This decision places before the country
the plain method by which the common law
will take possession of and wind up the
modern organizations for sitting compe-
tition. The process may be very slow. The
deliberation of the courts and the ability of
high-priced lawyers in the line of interpos-
ing dilatory proceedings may extend the
struggle for years. But though the judicial
mills grind slowly, they grind exceeding
sure. Until the power of these concen-
trated masses of capital reaches to the ex-
tent of inducing judges to deny the funda-
mental principles of law, it is shown in this
case that when the illegality OF one of these
combinations is declared, it leads inevitably
to the result of putting it in the hands of
receiver and distributing its property. That
fact will make it necessary for the trusts
either to own the courts or to abandon their
efforts at sitting competition.
Ofcourse all the resources of the trusts
will be applied to the attempt to discover some
means of lodging the force of this decision.
One of the methods which they may try
might be to obtain the offering for sale of all
the assets and property controlled by the
trust in single lump, in which case no
buyer would be likely to appear, except the
great corporation contemplated to take the
place OF the trust and perpetuate its illegal
purpose. But this can hardly be done ex.
cept by the grossest collusion-and if it was
done, what would be accomplished? Under
the trust decisions the new corporation
would be tainted by the same illegality as
the original trust, and would be subject to
the judicial penalty of sale and distribution.
With the late decisions against the trusts
given their legitimate force and meaning,
the day of trusts is ended. The attempt will
doubtless be continued to evade the provls-
ions of law; but after one or two of these
combinations have been through the receiver
ship mill, their popularity will be wofully
damaged.

TOMORROW.

To-morrowis is not always desirable. When
to-day is pleasant we are apt TO be oblivious
of the morrow. When the present is un-
comfortable we do not seek refuge in the
past; it is tomorrow that holds our hopes
and fears. OF all to-morrows the one which
follows election day is the most generally
desired. For weeks the cry has been:
"Wait till Tuesday, November 4r' and
there being no othes course open to us, We
have waited. But the real haven is to-
morrow; the day after The die is cast, the
day when this man is hero and that man
dead horse. when the prophets on one side
are crowned with laurel and the prophets on
the other side wearily crawl into their holes;
when the philosopher says, 81 told you so''
with painful iteration, and the enthusiastic
but injudicious paint the town red. This is
the tomorrow which can now almost be
touched, and great is the longing for it in
many hearts.

Davis Fifth Avenue Museum,

Harry Davis got back from New York yester-
day wearing smile and leading band. The
two looked very we'll together, for the band
was the Royal Hungarian Gipsy Band, which
he had succeeded in engaging only after deal
of wire-pulling and little promise-to-pay in
volVing $500 every six days. As not one of
the members can speak a word of English
he had q merry time of it, so the smile
was becoming. The band has been
the big card of the Eden Musee
of New York for year. and previous to that
played in the royal household of Hungary at
Buda-Pestb. This is the first time it ever ap-
peared in a museum, and after the Pittsburg
engagement it goes back to the metropolis

for the same inequality, highly exaggerated,
when their side viii! gain by it. This peculi-
arity is heightened by the fact that the
apocryphal quintuple power of vote in the
South as compared with one In the North
which is really about double, is due to con-
ditions which are not within their constitu-
tional control; while the establishment of
twelve times the power for voter in Wyom-
ing over that OF voter in Pennsylvania was
secured by their party vote during the pres
ent year.
This is very striking illustration of what
is becoming quite prominent in politics
nowadays, namely, that the avowed princi-
pies of politicians do not run against their
own party, but are only applicable to the
opposition.

SPECTACLE TRIUMPHANT.

The Bottom OF the Sea-The Great MetrOpo-
lis Woman Against Woman - Hyde's
Specialties - Hungarian Music - Little
Trixie.
If the drama which was played for the first
time here at the Bjou Theater last night could
have been given to US in the torrid days of
August-there were one or two-it would have
been something of solace to those who sighed
for the seashore and could not get there. 1.-THE
Bottom of the Sea- is the name of the marine
spectacle dug from the French by William A.
Brady, but it has quite much to do with the
bosom of old ocean as his bed and the series of
scenes on board ship, among the billows and in
the caves and sandy forests of the great deeD
which it presents are unique IN variety. In its
spectacular side is the strength of the drama.
For first night the scenes moved smoothly
last night, although the effectiveness of the
snlpWreck at the very start Of the play was
marred 6ythe accidental eruption of supe from
the seethlng trough of the sea. The yacht
which comes to the rescue in this scene has
most realistic appearance. and the later scene
upon the quarter deck of French man-of-
war, with the machinery for laying a subma-
rine cable in operation, had equal truth. As
TO the truth of the supremely sensational
scene beneath the waves, very few living men
are quallhed to speak, but the Illusion of water
In motion, of liquid body, was well contrived,
and the fish darting about, the extremely un-
pleasant cutie fish or octopus, and the divers

certainly made weird and unusual picture.
Of course, with such scenes it Is not out of
Keeping that the story which they illustrated
should be full of garlng impossibilities, but the
plot Is interesting. if here and there obscure,
Just as Jules Verne ingenious novel on similar
lines is amazing and amusing. Last night the
audience followed the twisting and untwisting
of the plot with close attention. and the play
could have hardly had a warmer reception.
And for this the really good work of the COM
pany as whole was undoubtedly responsible in
no small measure. The picturesque villainy of
George W. Barnnm as Bdndlh, the Irish humor
of Eugene O'Rourke as Barney DoULe the
manliness of Mr.. Karrngton's James Norton,
tie engaging beauty of Miss Lillian Lee and her
sprlghtliness as French maid, may be men,
toned as factors in this melOdramatic success.
The audience was of the immense ORDER and
as regards the gallery, not the most orderly in
the world.

Harris Theater.

woman Against Woman" was not seen yes
terday for the first time in Pittsburg by any
means. but it was nevertheless greeted by TWO
very large audiences at Harris Theater. 1t is
play that appeals to the sympathies of such
an audience as usually fills this family resort.
Its touches of pathos and comedy are suffi-
ciently well mingled to concentrate interest in
the plot and characters throughout the entire
performance. AS for the company now present
ing it here. word of praise can be given. 1t
is fairly strong, certainly well balanced and
the ladies have beauty and grace enough to in

A BLOW TO THE TRUSTS.

The magnates of the Sugar Trust appear
to be in fair way to learn that when the
courts declare their organization illegal, it
means something. The decision of Judge
Pratt, as announced yesterday, deciding that
a receiver must be appointed and the prop
ertv of the trust distributed among the
certificate holders, Is equivalent to the
service of notice upon the trusts that when
the illegality of the combinations is declared
the law requires them to be wound up, and
their business to be restored to the methods
Of legitimate business.
The logic of the decision to that effect is
unquestionable. As the trust has been de-
clsred to be illegal, and the agreements by
which it obtained control of the property in
its hands are void, the Trustees are clearly
the custodians of property belonging to other
people and which the courts must see re-
turned to its proper owner. To let the
Trustees continue to hold the property or to
transfer the control which they have OBJ
tanned BY illegal methods would be mani
festly improper and would subject the
corporations composing the trust to forfeit
ure of their charters. Consequently the
court holds that the only possible course is
the appointment of a receiver to dispose of
the property and distribute the proceeds.
The logic of the case might carry the con-
clusion much further than that. The de-
cision of the Court of Appeals that the
trust was illegal and all the agreements by
which it was gormed void, is snake-bite
that extends through every transfer of prop
erty to every certificate OF the trust. Every
step in the organization being void, the GER
tifcates are void also, and represent, not
shares in the property which is held by vir-
tue of illegal acts. but only shares in the
