THE LAW AND THE oFFENse.

Referring to the contention CT the de-
feusc that in the absence of legislation by
congress the federal courts can do nothing
In such cases, the judge says: "In reply

made To the act to regulate commerce, IA
amended by the act Of March . 1889 (25
United States statutes, s55), and IL Is con-
tended that by force Of the provisions Of
the statute passed In exercise Of the power
conferred on congress by the constitution,
TO regulate commerce. among the sew
eral states the national control has been
extended over the channels and agencies
of Interstate commerce, including rail-
ways NJ well as navignble winters, and
that out of this legislation, whatever had
becn the rule before, has arisen by ncccs-
sary implication the Jurisdiction Of the
federal courts In accordance with the
principles Ut equity, To protect that COM

"The right Of the Federal government
to obtain the injunction Ii also asserted
upon tho ground Of property right in the

The Judge here used the following illus.
trntion to show the impropriety Of the pro-
posed restrictive construction of the stat
utes. II, he said, the manufacturers Of
other sleeping cars than the Pullman
were to enlist the employees of the rail-
roads In conspiracy to prevent the use Of
Pullman sleepers, 1t would he agreed that
the offcnse ought TO he punishable. But
II In such a case the officers or agents of
the chr companies, who might or might
not he capitalists, would be individually
responsible for violating the statute, upon
what principle could the firemen or
switchmen Inc exempt?
Can workingmen, or, If you will, poor
men, acting by themselves. upon their
own motion, and for their own purposes,
whether avowed or secret, do things for
hidden by the statute without criminal
responsibility and yet be criminally re-
sponsible for the same things done Mt the
instance and To promote the purposes Of
Othcrsf Or viii, 1t he said that under this
statute one who Is not capitalist may
without criminality assist capitalists in
the doing Of things which on their part
arr criminaly II that be so, then if cap
italist and one who is not a capitalist join
In doing things forbidden by this statute
neither can be punished because one alone
can not be guilty Of conspiracy.
''Thc persistent effort of the defendants,
is the proof shows, was to force the rail
road comprehensive largest capitalists Of
the country-fo cooperate, or at least to
ncquiescc In scheme to stop the use of
Dbl eli 81,
had the agreement of a manager and other
officers Of one road to quit the use of the
obnoxious cars and, perhaps, a qualified
admission Of the officers OF another road
or two to the same dictation. Does the
guilt OF innocence Of the defendants OF
the charge Of conspiracy under this stat
ute depend on the proof there may he of
their success in drawing to the support OF
their design those who may be called cap
italists, or does 1t depend on the character
Of the design itself and upon what has
been done toward its accomplishment by
themselves and by those in voluntary co.
operation with them from whatever EN-.
ployment or walk of life?
The judge reviewed the acts of the de-
PENDANTS in connection with the strike.
He said that under the conditions which
prevailed last summer owing to the great
number of Idle men in the country, the
defendants must have known that VIC.
lcnce was sure to follow the Inauguration
Of such q strike, and have counted upon
it. Their admonitions against violence
were not needed, nor were they intended
to be needed SO far rs the milder forms of
intimidation were concerned, those which
were assumed to BIZ not unlawful i'm con-
test with IAN alliance Of rich and power.

Suit Against the White Lead Trust,

New YORK, Dec. 15.-Thc secretary Of
the United States treasury has directed
District Attorney McFarlane, of this city,
to bring suit against the National Lead
company, commonly known as the white
lead trust, for the recovery of 90, 100

ton, were found to have been really meyer

with the power Of eminent domain 70
enable them to acquire lands necessary
Tor their purposes, because the proposed
use Is for the public benefit. To the extent
Of the share which the companies have in
Interstate commerce they hold their
lands and rights Of way for
tho benefit Of the general public
and subject to the national control. For
this purpose to use the expression OF the
supreme court in Gilman vs.. Philadelphia,
Wall, 713, in respect TO Davigsble waters,
they are the public property Of the
nation and subject to all the requisite leg
islatiOn Of congress.
Judge Woods, referring to Ithe position
Of the defendants in respect to the act Of
July 2, 1871, that it sis directed at CAPT.
tai" at dangers supposed to result from
vast aggregations Of capital, and not Of
fOrcc and violence; wholly against trusts
and not ut organizations of labor in any
form" said: 1t IL clear that a further
and more comprehensive purpose came to
be entertained and was embodied in the
final form Of the enactment. Combine
tions are condemned not only when they
take the form Of trusts, but in whatever
form found, IL they be in restraint Of
trade. That is the effect Of the words or
otherwise
Il have no doubt that this statute in so
far ms it is directed against contracts or
combinations in the form Of trusts, or in
any form Of acontractual character, should
be limited to contracts and combinations,
such in their general characteristics as
the courts have declared unlawful. But
To put such n limitation upon the word
conspiracy Is neither necessary nor, as !
think. permissible. To do SO would
deprive the word Of all significance,
Any proposed restraint OF trade,
though IL be In itself innocent, II it is Ia
be accomplished by conspiracy, Is unlaw-
full. That this case Is one of equitable
character is clear, and, as ! understand,
has not been questioned by counscl-their
contention being that neither by this
statute nor upon general principles is the
case within the jurisdiction Of a federal
court"

SOME PUBLIC OPINIONS.

Galveston News: 1t is now in
order for the labor organizations
directly or indirectly involved in
the late strike to proceed to rid
themselves of the desperate men,
bers who have brought down upon
them the condemnation of the
people who stand for law and order.
Will they do it? Will they prove
tn cir professions in favor of law
and order by excluding those who
have interfered openly with the
property and rights of others?
Unless they do this they must see
that the violence and crime Of
their members, to which they fail
to object, will be charged to them.
George Clark: 1t is some consola
ton to know that there is a power
somewhere in our complex system
of government adequate TO the
preservation of Jaw and order and
the protection of life, liberty and
property. Anarchy and mOboCracy
must be suppressed and if the
states won't do it it is we'll that the
federal government will, especially
if in so doing it need not usnrp any
constitutional function, bnt can
conform it's action within we'll de-
fined limits of law which have re-
ceived the sanction and advocacy
of leading democratic senators and
congressman.

ayes, sir" continued Mr.. Good
man, the financial condition of the
country has simply knocked the
business higher than kite.
Jewels are luxury and in these
days of strikes and failures people
will not buy luXuries. There are
cases, of course, when man must
buy jewelry. Take the case of a
wedding the purchaser who would
in goodtimes pay $40 or $50 for a
present will fall down to S. or even
So. There is where we feel the
effect. But Notwithstanding all
this the percentage of failures
among the jewellers Of the country
has been small compared with
other trades. Somehow the Jew
eler manages to get along through
the rough times"
"They have the money!
That's mistaken idea; that a
jeweler has money. An awful mis-
take. OF course, he must have
some money to go into the bus
mess, but the average jeweler has
all the cash he has in the stock.
Five thousand dollars would make

least $4,000 to stock up in any

the jewellers hold their heads

in the manufacture of jewels, the
