DECISION FOR TaE READING.
The Combine Is Declared to be Not
Against Public Policy.

Against Public Policy.
WnMAMsPoRT, Pa, Dec. 6.-Hon. W.
w. Hart, master and examiner in the
case in equity brought by Matthias H.
Arnott. Of Elmira, against the Reading
combine, filed his report yesterday after
noon. The report is in favor of the de-
fendant. The original bill was filed
March Z, 1892, and named as defendants
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
company, Lehigh Valley, Central Rail
road of New Jersey, Lehigh and Sus-
quehanna railroad, Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company, Port Reading
Railroad company, Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company, Le-
high and Wilkesbarre Coal company
and the Lehigh Valley Coal company.
In his report the master finds, and so
reports, that the lines of railroad of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad COM
pany and the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company are not either parallel or com
peting within the meaning of article II,
section 4, of the constitution, and that
therefore the lease of the Lehigh Valley
to the Reading company is valid and
legal. He also finds that the Central
Railroad company Of New Jersey and
the Port Reading Railroad company are
both corporations OF the state of New
Jersey, and that the constitution of
Pennsylvania has no extra territorial eff
feet. and that therefore the lease of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey to the
Port Reading company was not in viola
ton of the constitutional provisions
above referred to. The master also finds
that the coal company leases are not
against public policy, and that they do
monopoly Of an article Of commerce, the
combined output of the three coal COM
panies for the year 1891 being but 80 per
cent. of the total output of anthracite
coal in the state Of Pennsylvania.

LONDON, Dec. Sir John Laws, in
his review of the agricultural situation,
warns agricultuists against expecting
an Improvement soon. Tho Mark Lane
Express indorses this view. The i'm
perial average for English wheat up to
Nov 81 has been, the Mark Lane EN-
press says, from ten shillings to ten shill-
ings and one pence lower than in 1892,
and two shillings and three pence lower
than any other November in the present
century. October's low average has
been reduced eight pence and quarter,
and the situation is considerably worse
than on the first of September.

THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

1t is natural that there should be some
confusion of tongues in q convention where
there is no little confusion of ideas. The
Industrial conference at St. Louis was
conglomeration. Where aims and objects
range from labor questions to national
finances, and from sumptuary laws to
woman suffrage, it is no wonder that
they are followed by homogeneous results.
The political, moral and social conditions to
which the Republican party has brought
the country are indeed alarming, and it is
not unreasonable that there should be va
rying views as to the proper remedial
agencies The main trouble seems to be
one of pride. Dissatisfied Republicans hate
to join the Democracy, the only organiza-
ton which can give any promise of prac-
teal reform. They imagine the result they
wish may be accomplished by disintegrat-
ing both the old parties and formin G
q new one on their ruins. But
they ignore the power Of party mocha
nism, and would go into a Presidential
campaign as an army without proper
equipments and their trains loaded down
with inspedimentd. Because they have lost
confidence in the old methods, they rush
wildly to the extreme Of novel expert
ments. Instead Of rallying around two or
three great fundamental issues, grounded
in the public mind, they busy themselves
with multitude of small ones, upon which
they are far from being unit themselves
Take, for instance, the subject OF coer

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

There appears to be very wide differ
ence of opinion among the delegations who
have visited Washington as representa-
tives of the different local parties regard
ing the prospects of the Home Rule bill.
There is substantial agreement, however,
as TO the statehood bill, all admitting that
efforts in its behalf have been labor thrown
away. The Liberal boss rushes into print
with columns of praise for himself and his
associate who was SO sadly crushed in the
committee rooms, and declares that the
FAULKNER bill will not pass; he even goes
to the extent of expressing doubt that it
will be reported by the Senate committee
on territories. Of course he takes credit
for having ''done the business" for the
measure.
On the other hand, all our information
is to the effect that the Home Rule bill is
not merely certain to pass the House, but
1t is likely to pass it almost any day under
suspension of the rules, so well satisfied
are the members of the justice of the
measure and SO unanimous are they in its
support. Every Democratic Senator, with
single exception, is committed to the bill,
and several Republicans are outspoken in
its favor, among these latter being at least
one said by the Liberal boss to be opposed
to it. Senator DUBOIS, of Idaho is on rec
ord as advocating the bill, and unless he
has changed his mind within very few
hours, he is working for it very enthusi
astically. The returned Liberal delegate
has the effrontery to intimate that the
bill will not come from the Senate
committee on territories, whereas eignt
OF the eleven members of that
committee do not hesitate to say the
measure has their approval. Hon. J.. L.
RAwLINs, of the Democratic delegation,
who has just returned from the capital,
thinks there is not the least doubt of the
bills early passage, saying it will &C
through supported by all the Democratic
votes and good many Republicans. The
other members of the Democratic delega
ton have left Washington and are er
route for home, content with the prospec
and satisfied that it is unnecessary fo
them to remain longer at the capital, as thu
: bill has more than enough supporters t.
pass it.
We imagine the Liberal boss is talking
: for the purpose of making those who pa
l him think he has earned his money.
