He pemurrsd to Rice's Application
for Standard Oi's Dissolution.

Justice O'Brien, of the Supreme Court,
to-day rendered a decision upholding the
demurrer of John D.. Rockefeller and the
other directors of the Standard OIL
Trust, to the complaint Of George Rice,
II certificate-holder, who made applica-
ton for the judicial dissolution OF the
Trust and an accounting.
Az the Trust is alre ldy being volun-
tarily dissolved. Justice O'Brien holds
that RIce's certificate Is subject to all
the conditions of the agreements Great
ing the Trust, one OF which makes spe-
cial reference to the mode of terminal
ing the Trust.
The Court says these prescribed con
ditions were followed, and that II II
therefore clear that Rice was bound by
Wlat was done.
Rice, the Court holds. was bound to
avail himself of the scheme of distri-
button. To ignore the method adopted
by the Trust and come directly into
Govt was to ignore his former con-
tract.
the Court further rules that it is not
the duty Of the defendants to render an
account to any particular certificate hol-
der, but to wind up the affairs of the
Trust in q well-defined manner, as pre-
scribed by the Trust agreements.
There Is nothing In the complaint OF
Rice, the Court says, to show that the
defendants have failed to perform their
duty imposed by the resolutions winding

NOT BLUsTER BUT CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Every patriotic American will ap-
plaud the speech which Senator Morgan
made relative 10 the possession of the
islands contiguous to the United States.
not because he has vanity to own the
earth, or that this government shall
stand in the relation of dictator to the
nations, but because such q possession is
important to our safety in the event of
foreign war. There is no element in
this country which desires the acquisi-
ton of territory in general. On the con-
trary, public sentiment is opposed to
ment since the days of Washington. We
do not cOvet Canada. but it would be
much better for the people OF the
Dominion to be annexed to the United
States, on the ground of geographical
position and commercial relations. 1t is
the natural relation. AS to the
islands in both oceans, to which
the Alabama Senator alludes, they
are the natural vidette posts of the
United States. and should be held for
that purpose. They are of no man
ner of advantage to the European
governments holding them except that
Cuba is forced to contribute to the reve
nues of Spain. Great Britain holds Bor-
muda; and, during the late war, through
British occupation and sympathy for the
COnfederacy, it was more valuable to the
jeff Davis regime than a good sized
army could be, because it was an asy-
lum for the blockade runners. British
goods were brought to Bermuda and
transferred to the blockade runners.
But for it these ships could not have been
operated except with sails, as they would
have been without a coaling station.
To-day the most important of the ocean
vidette posts is ours for the taking-the
Hawaiian Islands. They would give our
government, in the event of war, control
of islands which, in the hands of a foreign
government, would be menace. In the
oceans by an isthmus canal, those
islands, in the event of war, might be-
come the key to its operation. To this
it will be said that war is not to be
thought of. 1t may come any time; but
the surest preventive is apOwerful navy
and the possession of the islands con-
tiguous to the United States, which
would give our government promi-
hence and position which would en-
force peace. Peace and security is as
sured by strength. It would be fortu-
nate for the United States if Senator
Morgan's party, now coming to the con-
troll of affairs, were influenced by his
broad statesmanship on this subject.

with European labor. which is paid less
than convict labor in this country.
If this would be the result of the re-
moval of all restrictions against the
introduction of foreign manufactures. IS
itnot plain that American wage workers
are more interested than anybody else
In maintaining such restrictions? In
other words, is it not plain that protec-
tive duties are necessary to maintain
the standard of American wages and
prevent the country from being con-
verted into vast sweat shop for the
purpose of grinding wages down to the
European levelY The effect of cheap
convict labor on the wages of free
labor has been demonstrated, and we
challenge denial of the assertion that
the cheap pauper labor of Europe, if
all restrictions were removed, would
produce the same result.
