ONE COMBINATION CONVICTED.

All the prosecutions against trusts and
combinations are not perfunctory and
futile. A case was terminated in Lock
port, New York, the other day where the
usual combination, alleged to be an sex
change" was under Indictment for con-
spiracy in restraint of trade. The evi-
dence showed the case to be an ordinary
one of an agreement for fixing prices, pro-
hibiting members from selling below
stated prices, and prescribing penalties
for violation of this rule. Upon this
showing the jury convicted the members
of the exchange of conspiracy, and while
the case will go through' the long course
of appellate proceedings, a very decided
characterization of very usual business
policy has been authoritatively made.
A significant indication of the times is
afforded by the course which capital
adopts in view of the decisions against it.
Every time a case involving a combination
to restrain competition has reached fair
trial before courts of authority the ilIegality
of all such DEGREES has been declared in
the most unmistakable terms Yet the
corporations keep right on, secure in the
notion that an appeal to higher court
justifies their continuance in the course of
law breaking. When the ultimate courts
decide against them there is pretense of
obeying the decision by. reorganization
which carefully preserves the illegal feat
ure. The law is unmistakable, the dec
larations of its principle by the courts are
answering, but aggregated capital, owing
its creation and preservation to the law,
seems to have come to the conclusion that
it is greater than its creator.
Another striking peculiarity is the ease
and celebrity with which judgment can
be obtained against combinations of small
and local character as compared with

yet be a candidate.-ChicGgo Globe,
JUDGE GRESHAM is good man. Perhaps
that is the reason he will not head the Third

The nomination of Gresham by the Omaha
Convention, if it can be encompassed, wonld
be great card for the Third party.-Omaha

OF course Judge Gresham will not consent
to allow the Omaha Convention to nominate
him for President on the platform contain
ing all the crazy fads, freaks and isms of all
the lunatics in the country.-Denver Repub-

The motive which usually dictates Presi-
dent Harrison's appoint will clamor
loudly tor Walter Q.'Gresham. 1t will be
great stroke of politics IL he takes the
Judge out of the Presidential race and puts
him on the Supreme Bench in Bradley's
place.-Sk Louis POST Dispatch.
SHOULD Judge Gresham decide to accept
the nomination Of the Peoples party the
candidate would be more than the platform.
An incapable faction would have found a
capable leadership. But there is no danger
that Judge Gresham will lay aside his gown
and put on cap and bells even 10 press
thorn into the side of his enemy, Benjamin
Harrison.-PhladeLphi Record.

This year the Democracy is denying notil-
ing of its real position on the tariff question.
In former campaigns it made q pretense
about protecting industries while raising
revenue, but this year it drops the mask
completely, declares against the protective
policy and for tariff for the sole purpose of
revenue. Not merely that, but the Demo-
cratic party expresses the belief that the
Governments has no right to levy a tariff
with any other object in view than procur-
ing revenue. 1t prates about the high prices
OF necessities due to the tariff and intimates
that Injuries should pay the whole of the
necessary indirect taxes.
There may be some difficulty in deciding
what are luxurfes and what necessities, but
1t Is fair to assume free trade standards will
can workingmen babitually use ARTICLES that
are considered luxuries by the pauper la
Dorers OF Europe, such as tea and coffee.
These luxuries will have to bear a good bit
OF the burden OF raising revenue. Not be-
Ing produced in this country to any. extent
the revenue is rendered certain. Mean
while while, clothing, stoves, carpets, agri-
great 1ines 0ner of mannfaosured aEs all eoods eds
must be admitted free or at much
lower rates OF duty because they are neces-
sites. The free trade Democracy would
never see lis mistake until the wages of
American labor were so low as to pronibit
the purchase of the luxuries from which it
Is proposed to raise revenues and the i'm
portatiOn and revenue would stop together,
leaving the free traders the necessity for
raising revenues from necessities.
Happily it is not necessary to contemplate
the possibilities of such time. This coun.
try is not going to fool with free trade. 1t
will continue to thrive and prosper under
protection as no other nation of the world
has ever prospered. The workingmen will
vote the honest Republican ticket in No

of the free-silver men in either party.
There is some talk Of general secession
into the Peoples party, which would
indeed permit the dissatisfied silver men
to stand on a platform suitable to their
ideas. But the utmost that the Peoples
party can possibly effect is to get few
electoral votes and throw the election into
the House, thus insuring Cleveland's
election. When the dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis perceive that this method Of punish
ing their party would make its success
certain. and the dissatisfied Republicans
comprehend that their revenge would
simply elect the opposition candidate, also
an anti-silver man, they will see the nee
essary conclusion that their only course is
to grin and bear it. This makes the tariff
the only great issue of the year, and the
friends of protection must rally all their
forces in defense of that policy.

HOW FAR DOES IT REACHe

The decision by which the use of the
trolley is forbidden to the Philadelphia
street railroads may have wider interest
than to that city alone. The decision is
reported to be based on the ground that
the law providing for changes of motive
power Oil street railways is unconstitu-
tional. If that is the case, in what position
does it leave our numerous traction COM
panies? Did they change their motive
power under this law? If not, what law
are they operating under, or are they con-
ducting their operations under no law at
all?
1t would be interesting if the courts
should find out that the street railways
cannot adopt a new motive power after
they have been demonstrating that they
can do it for two years and more.

WHISKY STORED IN cATAtoMBs
Prohibition Officers Arc Bafled in Saloons
in Crestou, Iowa.

Prohibition Officers Arc Baffied in Saloons
in Creston, Iowa.
CREsroN. a.. June 27.-A lively war is
going on here against saloons. The feeling
has been intensified by the swearing out OF
search warrants by deposed ChiefofPolice
Maxwell. Searches at every place where
liquor is sold disclosed the fact that the
saloon men have good hiding places for
their stock, as but little liquor was secured.
In the basement of the Devoe block is a
saloon known as the "Catacomb," so named
because of the myriad of entrances, exits,
dark rooms and inexplorable places it con-
tains for the secretion of liquors. This is
supposed to be the hiding place OF a car
load or more OF liquor, but it cannot be dis
covered. Last night, at II o'clock, two
policemen hastily entered this place, pre-
sented two revolvers and a search warrant
and demanded that every drop OF liquor in
the building be turned over to them. The
proprietors told them to take it, and the two
officers commenced their search, which was
rewarded by finding half pint of whisky
and part of q keg of beer. Ten minutes later
whisky and beer were being drunk over the
counter as previously. At the other saloons
they Jared little better. Lively times are
expected, as the antis propose to loot the
saloons. while the saloon men are as deter
mined to stay.

THE WORK OF COUNCILS.

Councils prepared for their two months
vacation by polishing off arrears in short
order yesterday. A large number of
ordinances were hurried through with
squirt as well as the resolutions dealing
with the payment of contracts. The most
important among the measures dealt with
were an ordinance authorizing the pur-
chase of the Neeld farm and resolutions
instructing Chief Bigelow to close options
on land around Highland Park amounting
to S2O9, ,OOO
The unnecessary size of the Neeld
farm for poor farm purposes and the
high price to be paid for it have already
been pointed out as objections by THE
DISPATCH. But the city had spent so
much time over the exposure of earlier
jobs that it was to some extent cornered
and had to choose between this property
and nothing. 1t is at least satisfactory
that the selection has Mayor Gourley's
approval and that this purchase is less by
one half than the exorbitant prices origin
ally asked for other poor farm property.
With regard to the Highland Park reso-
lutions it is evident that Chief Bigelow
has done the best he could for the city in
this matter as in all else that he has under
taken for the park systems. The earlier
the city gets into the field the cheaper
will it be able to purchase any land that
may be required. Whether this enlarge
ment to Highland Park is to be made or
not will of course remain an open ques-
ton until next years appropriations are
submitted If the state of the city's
finances should warrant the enlargement
Of the parks the options will prove useful.
If, on the other hand, further park i'm
provements cannot be obtained without
increased taxation the matter must be
dropped, and the options will at least have
done no harm.

ANTI.OPTIONS IN A sNARL.

Hard to Tell How the Senate Committee
Is Going to Vote. - -
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Senate Judici-
ary Committee this morning had the anti
options bill again under consideration.
There was not a full attendance, in view Of
which fact no attempt was made to act
finally upon the bill, and it will be further
considered at the next meeting of the COM
mittee-probably Thursday.
Nearly two hours were spent at the meet
ing to-day in a critical analysis and dis
cussion of the bills. So far there has been
no such expression of opinion to warrant
any politicians as to how the committee will
vote upon reporting the bill to the Senate,
and it is probable that at least one more
meeting will be consumed in the discussion
before any effort is made by the friends OF
committee.
