THE STANDARDS EXCEPTION,

The need for reforming one notable method
for gouging the outside public in stock spec
ulstion is pointed out by the Wall Street
Daily Neps, which hopes that the Stock
Exchange will either abolish unlisted stocks
or shut out all the trust stocks about which
full information is not given the public. 1t
declares that the exchange does not want any
more of the Cotton Oil, Lead Trust or Sugar
Refneries, which are notably fused for
making private profit for insiders at the
expense of the outside public" One ex-
ception to this rule of fleeing lambs by the
trust stocks is noted by the Neaos. as follows:
The managers of the Standard Oil are en-
titled to credit for an honest proceeding in that
when some one began trading in the stock, they
wrote to the Governing Committee of the
Stock Exchange. explaining that they made no
reports to the public. and they did not wish to
become party to trading which might subject
them to the suspicion of desiring to work the
market They had reached the point when
they could make enough money without pick
ing the pockets of outsiders through the me-
dium of the Stock Exchange.
So much of credit is undoubtedly due to
the Standard. But possibly it is well to
bear in mind that in the contrast between

THE ORGUL0Us SENATORS.
Public Business Again Resumed in Spite of
the Opposition.


the Opposition.
New York Herald.J
The orgulous majority in the Senate declared
that the minority obstructed the legitimate
business of the session.
1t was a palpable and malignant falsehood.
The naked truth is that the minority have
been engaged in obstructing the Republican at
tempt to inaugurate a new period of disorder
and civil war.
The Democratic minority are the conservative
element of the Senate. They demand that the
customs, traditions and usages which have gov
erned them for the last hundred years shall
not be tampered with; that debate shall be con-
Quoted after the manner which has made the
Senate dignified, deliberative and useful
body.
The Republican majority on the other hand,
are both radical and revolutionary They
would uproot and destroy freedom of speech;
they demand that the presiding oficer shall
not recognize Senator who first gets the floor
if he happens to be Democrat, but shall
arbitrarily ignore him and give the preference
to any Republican.

THE HERETICAL SENATOR.

The agitation at Harrisburg over Cam
eron's heteredoxy is quite distressing. For
manv years Don was the idol of a numerous
class OF party-wOrkers. A cold idol, to be
sure, and one not easily approached, but
still held in the higher estimation for not
being easily accessible to his following.
Suddenly, it is discovered that the recent
object of party homage is filled with saw
dust. From present surface signs, one might
suppose that none in the party was left so
poor as to do him reverence.
But these signs, after all, are not to be
taken too seriously. The present indigna-
ton of Cameron's late hackers is too ex-
uberant to be lasting.

SPEAKING of the decision of the suprem

SPEAKING of the decision of the Supreme
Court of New Y ork sustaining a Justice in his
refusal to issue warrants on the demand of a
society for the enforcement of criminal law,
the New York World says that 'the District
Attorneys office and the Police Department
are the proper and sufficient agencies for the
enforcement OF criminal law" There is no
doubt that these agencies should be sufficient
to enforce the laws, as that is what they are
paid for. But moderately careful perusal of
the columns of the New York World for short
time is calculated to raise doubt in the in
quiring mind whether they actually are sufi-
cient.

THE CALDER OF SOME CoNGREssMEN

A rather remarkable illustration Of the
inability of political leaders to keep up with
the march of events, is furnished by the in
terviews with Pennsylvania Congressman
on the subject of the ship canal. Of the
FIVE representatives of Pennsylvania with
whom interviews were obtained three, or
majority of them, stated that they chad not
given the subject any especial attention. I"
1t is the fact that still larger number of
the representatives. of Pennsylvania were
unable to say anything at all on the matter
because they had Lot studied it enough to
know what to say about it.
This, if our political leaders did but know
it, is most humiliating confession. A pro-
.ject is before the public which is of the most

The familiar assertion, that the Pennsyl-

heard again in connection with the agricul-
turlsts' meeting at Harrisburg. Yet the hope
may be expressed that people will learn in time
that the interstate commerce law has nothing
to do with it, and that the original package de-
cisions are based on the conflict of the State
law with the Constitution of the United States.

For the inquiry whether Pennsylvania is
now Republican State, which the President
has been firing at visitors from the Legislature
to the White House, they should have referred
him to the election returns. The policy which
the President swears by has turned such States
as Kansas, Iowa, Indiana and North Dakota
into the Democratic column; but it has not yet
done so with Pennsylvania Perhaps the Presi-
dent is trying to make the operation complete.

are killed, and have most of the others here
the Indians are left you might say, without a
leader, ard there is no danger of further out
break on the reservations
.aThese men whom brought to Chicago are
a crowd of outlaws. Three hundred of the In

others are all now under control Of the military
Authorities and back on their reservations where
