THE decision of an Ohio court that
the Standard Oil Trust is illegal had
the surprising effect of causing its
managers to announce the dissolu-
ton Of the trust, and its retirement
from the monopoly it has long held.
This company has amassed enormous
wealth for its chief proprietOrs, and
has also incidentally helped the pub
lie by cheapening the cost of refining
crude Oil. But others besides the
Standard Oil Company have worked
TO the same end. The odious charac-
ter of the trust was shown in its I'M
scrupulous attempt to crush out COM
petitOrs. This it was able to do, and
it is largely through appropriating
the work of Others that the wealth
OF the trust was gained. 1t is likely
that the war against trusts and
mOnopolies is the true reason why
the Standard Oil Trust has concluded
to retire.

IT is announced, and with some
show OF authority, that Princess May
Of Teck, who was betrothed to the
late Prince Albert Victor, has become
engaged TO the latter's brother,
Prince George, and that the event
will be officially proclaimed in a few
days. The report, if it be true, is en-
tirely creditable to all parties, and
shows that Princess May is a favorite
with the reigninf family whom they
greatly desire to take into the
royal household. She is a sensible
womanly girl, whose sincerity and
indebtedness are almost American
In their genuineness, and whose
brave, modest bearing in recent times
OF trial entities her to a great deal OF
sympathy and admiration from good
men and women everywhere Prince
Georgeis by all accounts the superior,
morally and mentally, of his dead
bOrther, and his marriage to the
woman whom the latter would have
welded had he lived might bring a
wealth Of sunshine into the life Of g
woman who has already known more

THE English Court of Appeal has
little sympathy with doctors and law
yers who advertise. A dentist who
was graduated from the Royal Col
lege of Surgeons, Dublin, stipulated
on receiving his diploma that he
would not seek to attract business
by advertising" When he had been
in practice some years he began to
advertise his business pretty extern
sively. The General Medical Council
found him guilty of infamous or dis
graceful conduct in a professional re-
spect, and struck his name from the
Dental Register. Then he appealed
to the court to order it restored. This
the judges refused to do. They
agreed with the Medical Council that
he was guilty of disgraceful profess
sional conduct. True, the violation
of his pledge was doubtless the main
ground for this judgment, but the
judges more than intimated that
/ apart from this it would be unprofes-
sional misconduct for a doctor to ad-
vertise. Speaking of the legal pro-
fession, the Master of the Rolls said
that "a barrister is not allowed to adj
Vertise his superior talents, or that he
will do his advocacy cheaper" and
added that any one who would do SC
would be guilty of such disgracefu
conduct that he ought to be immedi
ately disbarred." Yet why should
not a professional man advertise hil
business as we'll as a merchant?

PROF. SCHNIoLLER, of Berlin, one
OF the most prominent leaders of the
modern school OF political economists
in Germany, has recently made the
statement that among the working
people the conditions of domestic
life in every detail-of education,
prosperity, progress in all directions
ARE dependent on the proportion
of income that flows down the
fathers throat" Prof. Schneider
adds: ~The whole condition of our
lower and middle classes-one may
even, without exaggeratiOn, say the
future OF our nation-depends on
this question. If it is true that half
our paupers become so through drink,
it gives US some estimate of the costly
burden which we tolerate. No other
OF our vices bears comparison with
this" 1t is a very strong presenta-
tion Of the existing condition in Ger
many.

IL ID HOoSAD4C lt44N NLlALCnSLllD HAS
been made too cheap in this country,
and its privileges have, therefore,
been less regarded than they should.
A bill before Congress, imposing some
more severe restrictions, has in it
much that will meet with general
favor. Certainly those who come
here as paupers, and after conviction
OF crime in their native land, are not
the best material out of which to make
good citizens. If they get in there
may be reason enough for denying
them the privileges of citizenship.
But the laws now provide for their
exclusion from the country. If en-
forced as all laws ought to be, the
provision against naturalizing such
citizens will be wholly unnecessary.
Another side to this question has had
too little attention. This is that it
is against public policy to encourage
any class in the country to remain
alien in character and sympathies
from their countrymen. If they are
with us they will be less injurious if
they become part of US, and in so do
I
| ing assimilate themselves to the
character and Institutions of the peo-
pie with whom they live. Just SO
surely as we either deny them citizen
ship or make it more difficult we
foster the spirit of clanhishness
against which our loudest complaint
is made. If foreigners are here it is
better alike for them and US to en-
courage them to become full citizens
of the Republic. Doing this the
danger of clannishness is Obviated,
and in one or two generations theil
descendants merge into the great
body of Americans, as snowflake:
merge into the flowing river so that
none can tell which one of its myriad
drops they form.
