FICTITIOUS ASSAULT ON rRrsTs.

In pursuance of the Democratic cam
paign work the Philadelphia Times pub
fishes what il calls LIST of 139 MONOPOLY
trusts, representing 81, ,5O7, ,O6O, 600 in capi-
tai. These it proceeds to charge to the
tariff, and to make a vigorous assault on
protection as the deduction from the al
legged facts
THE DISPATCH has, as all its readers
know, invariably attacked the trust policy
wherever it appears, and is committed to
the measure to repeal the protective duty
on any article on which trusts are able to
defeat the protective purpose of stimulat-
ing home competition. But in order to
have an intelligent view of the trust
question it is necessary to base it on ac-
curate facts; and it is proper to say that
the test referred to does not give accurate
facts. 1t contains large number of COM
binations which are purely imaginary;
another collection of those in which at
tempts at combinations have been made
and are entirely defunct, and third lot
which are merely local associations or
consultations without any power to con-
troll the general market or prices A
peculiar eAdIlDl6 OI Ile ucGlblOuS CudfdCteT
of the list is shown by the close juxtapo-
sition of an alleged iron and coal trust, !"
a "bituminous coal trust" and an "Iron
League (TrusO,' all three of which as
alleging control of production and
prices are products Of the imagination.
A still more striking example OF dlsin.
genuousness is the presentation of New
York Flour Trust" "Western Flour
Trust" "the Cotton Seed Oil Trust"
CONDENSED Milk Trust" "Pork Com
bine," the Gas Trust" (whether Phila-
delpnia or Chicago the Times omits to
mentiOn) and a "Buckwheat Trust
Most of these are imaginary; while the
representation that they are protected
from foreign competition by the tariff is
simply an absurdity.
In the list there are without question
glaring examples of combinations which
wdntonly peryert the purpose of the nro-
tecdye tariff. Prominent amol l.-

THE wYIIE AVENUE CASE.

While the popular expressions with re-
gard to the fatal accident on the Wylie
avenue cable line were decidedly adverse
to the gripmen, the sober second thought
OF the CoroneT's jury took different view
The jury, as advised by the charge of the
Coroner, found from the evidence that the
gripmen were free from blame, and made
the pointed suggestion that when parades
propose to occupy the streets they should
notify the traction companies in order
that due precautions may be taken.
There is reason in this view, although it
fails to take into consideration the lesson
Of the necessity of extraordinary appli-
ances for stopping heavily loaded cars on
steep grades The fact is that neither the
paraderS nor the traction people foresaw
the danger, as is always the case when
fatalities occur. But the paraderS were
as much bound to guard against it as the
traction company, which did not know of
the parade. Especially as they could
have avoided it by marching on the other
portions of the street, their presence on
the track where it was known that the
cars are stopped with difficulty was some
thing more than contributory negligence.
So far the Coroner's jury is founded on a
sober and unimpassioned consideration of
the subject
But we think that the moral of the trag-
ely should not be lost on either side.
Paraders as well as other users of the
streets should learn that their rights on the
public highway do not run to the exclu-
sion of the equal rights of Others Trac-
tion companies should also perceive in the
sad event the necessity of holding in re-
serve some especial means for stopping
cars when brakes fail and life may be i'm
periled by their failure

"A LARGE part of the good conduct Of the

patch of business, IS due to the Chairman OF
the House of Deputies, the. Rev. Dr. Dix.
rector Of Trinity Church, New York. DR..
Dix is son of that brave general who gave
that grand order which will keep his name

ne ever did: "If any man attempts to haul

spotr' He has his fathers power of instant
Judgment. He is invariably clear, wise, abb
solutely fair in his decisions.
Thus guided, the convention has accom-
pl1shed some important tasks 1t has finally
completed and definitely closed up the re-
vision Of the prayer book. This work,
which has extended over some twelve
years, comes now into the possession of the
church. The changes which have been
made are not very many, but they are all in
the direction of bringing the book closer to
the needs of the people who are living in
this present country at this present day.
The convention, with great wisdom and
self.sacrifice, abstained from discussing the
revised hymnal, hymn by hymn. This
debate, which would have been equally
amusing, e1asperating and Improbable,
might have lasted to the prelude to the
Dies Irae of the Day of Judgment and then
have been far from q finish. Poetry does
not readily lend itself to the purposes Of
parliamentary debate. Even the best verse
Is absurd from the point of view Of un-
sympathetic criticism. The finest hymn
that was ever written can be translated into
nonsense by satrical commentator.
The lambs he curries in his arms
And In his bosom-bears!
Lambs and bearsl cries the sarcastic critic.
What combination! The convention wisely
accepted the report OF its committee, and
the new hymnal, with its good and its in
different, goes to the church.
Most important of all, the convention has
adopted, as the authoritative voice of the
church, the statement made some years ago
by the House of Bishops alone: That the Holy
Scriptures, as containing all that Is neces-
sary to salvation, and the Apostles and the
Nlcene Creeds as sufficient statements of the
Christian faith, and the two sacraments OF
Baptism and the Lords Supper, and the
historic episcopate locally adopted to the
needs of the Christian community, and the
essential position upon which the Episcopal
Church insists. All else, of organization, of
ritual. or of doctrine, are non-essential. 1t
was worth the journey to Baltimore to hear
that said.
