4NZZ-MONOPOLY

In May last Governor Flower af-
fixed his signature to what IS known
! as the antitrust laws. A case has
just been decided by the New York
Court of Appeals, which must have
an important bearing en- future &C
ton brought under these laws. Four
persons were convicted and fined
$50 each on an indictment charg-
ing them with the crime of conspi-
racy in having formed a compact
entitled t:The Lockport Coal Ex-
change" an organization which was
charged in the indictment with seek
ing to raise and maintain the price
of coal to consumers, and with this
intent to restrict trade, in viola
ton of the act to prevent monopo-
lies, embraced in the antitrust
laws.
The defence contended that
proof of an overt act was wanting
beyond the mere organization of
this exchange, and on this ground
made it appeal to the highest court
This court, however, affirmed the
judgment of the lower court, thus
fixing the rigid act in the penal code
of the State. =
Such a law enacted in Louisiana
can do good, for conditions exist
wherein its adoption and enforce
ment would rebound to the benefit
of the masses. There is in Louis

AN INFAMOUS FAKE.

The SAINT. Jacks ssBelle Creole
Company at present travelling over
the State giving performances,b billed
and paraded as "creole beauties" is
in reality composed of mulatto wo-

well as in fact, this conglomeration

on the native white people of the
State. The slanderous imputation
sought to be conveyed in their ad-
vertisemenes that the creoles are
such as is represented by this troupe
is a monstruous falsehood and a
wanton insult to the people, and is
being properly resented.

as apprised of the true status of this

From the report of our last grand

upon one that much of the Grimm al

trivial matters. In this respect the
complaint is general throughout the
State, and we know of no remedy
that will work a radical cure quick

very happy proportion of the cost of
carrying on parish governments grows out of
criminal prosecutions, and these could be
materially curtailcd by comforting more iu-
risdiction upon justices of the peace. Ne
groes are in the habit OF invoking the law in
nearly all their misunderstanding with each
other, and no matter how trivial the affair,
witnesses at the expense of the parish are
summoned by the score to testify in the case
Had justices the power to inflict fines for as
saults or other misdemeanors, as CITY record
ers have, it would be a great saving to the
taxpayer, and would lessen the number of
small crimes. Did complainants know that
the cost would fall upon themselves in cases

granted by the constitutional comm ttee. If
