1t is interesting at this time to note that
IL has been the almost invariable custom Of
democratic national conventions to nomi-
nate the candidate receiving majority OF
the votes. The exceptions were the cases of
Van Buren, in 1874 and Douglas in 1880. In
all other instances the acquisition Of ma
jority of votes has been quickly followed by
the two-thirds necessary 60 nominate.

The Great WipwaYn.

The great, ugly building in which the
democratic national convention meets APP
pears to be good deal of fraud. Its size
is the only thing that recommends it, 1t
was the intention to put q canvas roof
upon it, but before the work of covering it
with that material had been completed a
storm tore the canvas into shreds. Find
Ing that canvas would not answer a roof
was constructed with planks. The cracks
in this plank roof were filled with
tar, with the hope of preventing
it from leaking. But the roof
is not success There were
showers in Chicago yesterday, and the
water dripped through the wigwam roof
and dampened the ardor of the delegates
and spoiled the clothes of some of them. 1t
was found necessary to use umbrellas as a
protection against the leaking roof
Chicago promised to put up satisfactory
building for the convention in considera-
ton of the convention agreeing to meet in
that city. The city has not complied with
its part Of the agreement.
Chicago is great for promising but its
promises cannot be depended upon. II
promised that if it were given the worlds
fair it would not ask any assistance from
the government. 1t is now asking for
$4,000 900. 1t is doubtful if it ever seri-
ously entertained the thought of providing
all the money needed for the fair. 1t sue
ceeded by promises in getting the fair, and
now it is calling on the government for
money with which to complete the fair
buildings.
The Chicago people talk too much. IL ID
true they succeed to great extent in gain
ing the confidence of the public, but the
public is beginning to get tired of Chicago's
windy methods of doing business.

SHERMAN'S ANTITRUST ACT.

Opinion In the First Action Brought Under
It-Judgs Blodeett Only Emphasizes the
Uncertainty as to Its scope and Meaning
The Profession Still At Sea.
In the case of A. D. Bishop against the
American Preserves Company and others,
Judge Blodgett yesterday rendered in the
United States Circuit Court an opinion sus-
tanning the demurrer of the defendants.
This is the first civil action decided under
the Sherman antitrust act.
In this case Bishop alleged that he be-
came member of the organization which
he characterized IS trust, now called the
American Preserves Company, whose prin-
cipal Office is in Pittsburg. But becoming
dissatisfied he attempted to retain the prop
erty and business which he had conveyed to
the company, because, he alleged, the organ
ization was illegal, being contrary to the
antitrust law.
The American Preserves Company,
upon his refusal to deliver up the property.
issued a writ of replevin out of the State
court and took it. For this action Bishop
brought his suit in the United States Court
for $120, 900 damages, claiming that under
the act of Congress he was entitled to three
times the damages suffered. The defendants
demurred to the declaration.
In his opinion Judge Blodgett holds that
no suit can be brought, because it may be de-
cided on the trial Of the replevin suit that
the plaintiff had a right to the property re-
plevied. Second, that it is rule that no
action at law can be maintained for the COM
mencement of a suit at law, as this is but
the assertion of right in the manner by
law provided for asserting rights, and that
the plaintiff in this case must get his redress
in the actions pending in the State courts.
He further held that the injuries
complained of were not comprehended
under the antitrust statute; that even
if the company were an illegal organization
it might have a valid title to the property
replevied against Bishop. By way of il
lustration the Judge added that if from any
difficulties growing out of the organization
and management of the alleged trust an al
tercation and quarrel had ensued between
the plaintiff and the other members or Off
GERS with whom he was associated and
plaintiff had been assaulted, it is very clear
he would have no right of action under
this statute.
When the antitrust bill was before the
Senate, some of the leading lawyers OBJ
Jected to it because of its indefniteness and
uncertainty Senator Sherman thereupon
declared upon the floor of the Senate that
he would press its passage even if it was
against the Lords Prayer or the Ten Com
mandments. The profession generally has
watched this case with great interest, with
the expectation of obtaining judicial con-
struction of the act, but the decision only
emphasizes the uncertainty Of what it
covers.
The principal Offices of the American Pre-
serves Company are at Pittsburg. A
number of Pittsburgers are stockholders and
its general counsel is A. Leo We'll. The
company has always denied that it was a
trust
