The Whiskey Trust is an Illegal
combination-~illegal, the Supreme
Court Of Illinois says, because it has
acquired property and exercised pow
ers not granted by it's charter. Ac-
cording to the Court, such charters
must be strictly interpreted. What
is not distinctly and plainly granted
is thereby distinctly and plainly pro-
hibited. Therefore, the Pullman
Company, whose mulishness in refus-
ing to listen to even the suggestion
of arbitration with their employees
caused the great railroad strike Of
1894, is clearly also an /" Illegal COM
bination." Its charter grants it
power to build parlor cars-it does
hot grant it power to build houses
and charge high rents for them to its
workingmen, to lay water mains, to
operate surface cars, to build gas
works-in fact, to own and operate 3
city, and thus to seek to own and op-
crate the lives and souls of the dwell
ers therein.-Neac York World.

The Cause Of Lawlessness.

Boyce Enterprise: The prevention
of crime rests with the people them.
selves, with public sentiment rather
than with the officers. Unless public
sentiment upholds the officers Of the
law, crime will not be reduced; Of
fenders will multiply unless the peo.
pie show a disposition to assist in
bringing criminals to justice. The
sentence of the court is not as effect
ual as the sentiment of the public.
In all countries and under all circum-
stances the best preventative of crime
is strong, wholesome, public senti.
ment against it. It is a terrible fact
that there are many crimes commit
ted that are known to many citizens
who say the law should be enforced,
yet they will keep what they know
to themselves and thereby shield
those who should be punished, and
these same good (?) citizens will make
a great roar about what the officers
should do in certain cases, when
probably the officers. are completely
in the dark, for it is generally the
case that the officers are the last
ones to be able to discover the per-
petrators of crime. Public sentiment
is the judge and jury and either en-.
forces the law or sanctions lawless-
ness, and from that tribunal there is
no appeal. Woe to the community
whose public sentiment is not for law
and order and whose people do not
stand by the officers and help to en-.
force the law. The government Of
every community is what the people
make it. If they do not assist the
officers in ferreting out crime they
can not expect the officers to succeed
in bringing criminals to justice.

The Increase In Wages.

From the New York World1
The upward tendency Of wages con-
tinues to be as marked as the increas.
ing activity in business. Advances
recently reported from Birmingham
show that the South is feeling the i'm.
pulse which has moved the East
They are now followed by the action
Of the Howard Harrison Iron Com.
pany, operating the largest pipe iron
works in the South, which has posted
q notice Of 10 per cent advance to
take effect at once.
A like advance reported on the
same day by the Cleveland Rolling.
Mill Company is another gratifying
indication of the willingness Of ope-
rators to share their prosperity with
their men. Such voluntary advances
have been made during the last six
weeks by a number Of important cot
ton mills also, and the 10 per cent
increase Of wages just granted by the
Chadwick Mills, of Utica, shows that
there is no diminution of con6dence
in the future of the business.
The decrease in wages last year
was accompanied by general decline
in the cost of the necessaries of life
which probably equalized to most
workers the apparent wage loss The
increase in prices this year is notable
in many lines but it is probably not
yet great enough to equal the everage
advance in wages in such industries
as iron and cotton.
No doubt the cry of calamity will
be renewed for political effect in spite
of this, but if the present activity ol
business continues, a. there is every
reason to think it will, the politicians
who are on the outside will have tc
do something more than groan owe,
the distress Of the country if they
hope to get inside again.

Public Meeting.
BENTON, La, June 19, 1895.

BENTON, LA, June ~, 1850.
A meeting of citizens of Benton
and vicinity was held at the Court
House yesterday at the request of
Messrs. W. b. Cline and j. w. Traer,
of Lake Charles, representatives of
the Kansas City and Gull, or Wat
kins Railway.
The meeting was addressed by
these gentlemen, in which they ex-
planned their mission to be to solicit
financial aid for their road. They
contemplate crossing Red River at
Alexandria and running their line up
the east side of the river to Shreve-
port as the objective point, traversing
through Ward One of this parish, for
which they thought Bossier ought to
vote them tax of mills for several
years.
Mr.. Cline then requested that the
meeting take a formal shape by elect
ing a chairman, etc. j. A. W. Lowry,
Esq, was chosen as President, and
B. A. Kelly requested to act as Sec.
retary.
An expression from citizens pres.
ent was called for, which evinced at
once considerable opposition to en-.
tertaining the proposition to vote
the tax requested, unless the road
traversed the entire parish-north
and south. They had no authority
to assure this.
At the instance of Mr.. Cline com.
mittee of two from each ward in the
parish and three at large, making a
committee OF Is, was appointed by
the chair, composed of the following
gentlemen:
Ward Nv. D. Mercer and G.. A.
F. Poole; ward 2-H. J. Lenoir and
W. G. Vance; ward 3-W. B. Boggs
and N. W. Sentell; ward 4-G. G..
Allen and w. A. Stroud; ward s.
Thos. Lyles and R. B. Martin; ward
CDR. Paul Lawrence and I. P. Lay;
at large-Dr. v. NJ. Abney, W. B.
Simpson and ]. NJ. Belcher.
The meeting then adjourned until
5r.M. At that hour, owing to the
inclement weather, and so few being
present, the meeting adjourned sine
die without doing anything addition
al to that transacted at the morning
session. j. A. W. Lowry,
President.

The Democrats Should Never
Divide.

Whatever differences of opinion
may exist among the Democrats on
the question Of the currency, there
should be no division in the support
of our national or State tickets, for
the country can not be benefited by
Republican success. No section of
the Union has better reason for be-
ing satisfied with the Democratic
party than the South. The repeal
of the Federal election laws, by our
party, restored to the South the
power to protect and preserve her
society and her civilization. The
reform Of the tariff was upon lines
Of policy and principle satisfactory
to our people, and preservation OF
our industries. The South has full
equality in the Administration. The
only subject of disquiet and dissat.
isfaction grows out Of the currency
question.
Let all Of either division of oul
party do ell In their power by dis
cussion to induce harmony, and let
all avoid threats which only encour.
age division.
Think Of the host of evils that
would follow the return of the Re.
publican party to absolute power
A division of the Democratic party
would ensure the election Of . Re-
publican President. The emasculat-
ed condition of q disrupted and di.
vided Democracy would invite and
encourage the Republican party to
re-enact the Lodge election laws,
and restore sprotcctive tariff, and
create those conditions which would
perpetuate that party in the admin.
istration Of the government, under
which the most favorable and sat.
isiastory condition Of the currency
would not mitigate the evils which
continuously threaten the South un'
der Republican rule.

The Advocate has never lost faith
in the good sense and loyalty of the
country press of this State, and the
editorial expressions we Gull to-day
from many of the soundest and
ablest Democratic papers in the
State very clearly indicates that the
efforts Of spoilsmen to ride into Office
on popular public issues will meet
with a decided rebuff at the hands of
the clear headed thinking people of
Louisiana. These papers recognize
the fact that because a man favors
free silver it does not necessarily
follow that he is therefore the best
man to be elected to Office. The po-
litical history Of this State in the
past has established the fact beyond
q shadow OF q doubt that there are
just dead loads Of politicians in this
State for whom the charms of Office
present such strong attractions that
they would be willing to embrace any
issue, to accept any side Of any pub
lie question that held out the promise
Of reward to them in the shape of a
fat Office. Knowing these facts as
they do the people are not simple
enough to walk into the snare 90
ingeniously set for them, and hence
they viii demand of their candidates
for Office, other qualifications besides
. mere readiness to accept Office on q
silver platform.-Baton Rouge Ad.
