A GREAT VICTORY,

In declaring the whisky trust to be an
illegal and baneful institution, and in or
dering therefore that its charter be re-
voked, the Supreme Court Of Illinois has
destroyed one OF the most corrupt institu-
tons to which this country has ever given
birth. The organization of the trust was
on the basis OF leasing all the leading dis
tiIleries and operating them under one
manage ment. The profits which it has
secured under this arrangement have been
enormous, but this is matter of small i'm
portance compared with the debauching of
courts and legislative bodies to which it
has resorted in the maintenance Of the
gigantic monopoly.
When the attack was first made upon
the trust it sought to evade the issues
raised against it by recognizing on a diff
ferent plan, of which a comprehensive cor
poration was the central idea. Even this
ruse did not suffice to blind the Supreme
Court to its real intention, and it has been
destroyed on the broad ground that it was
conducted in restraint of trade. There
being no ground upon which it can appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United States
it is dead beyond all hope.
Of course this decision is made by the
Supreme Court of only one State, but that
is sufficient to destroy this malignant in
stitution. AS Illinois is the home of other
gigantic trusts, including the Pullman
Palace-car Company, this decision breaks
ground for others that will affect interests
as great as those represented by the
whisky trust, and will have a further
value as serving as precedent for other
State courts.
All those who had become disheartened
at the seeming inyincible power of trusts
and corporations may now take courage
and cherish hope for better days. 1t is
impossible that the principle represented
by trusts can thrive forever in this coun-
try, and the sooner the issue is fought out
in the State courts the better.

TO REGULATE CUPIDITY.

The Colima disaster has brought into
conspicuous notice the extreme laxity with
which the shipping industry OF the Pacific
Coast especially is conducted. This refers
particularly to coastwise and trans-Pacific
steam lines, owned by American COM
panies. English clipper ships are handled
under that broader humane spirit which
Plimsoll introduced to the English service.
1t is notorious that the American steam
ship companies operating on this coast
constantly violate every sense of reason
able security. Instead of loading their own
vessels they employ stevedore companies
for that service, and there is a very general
impression that the steamship companies
pay little attention to the manner in which
the cargo is slowed. Cupidity is the sole
principle which governs them. 1t mani
tests itself in employing the most econom-
ical form of loading, in crowding the YES
seis beyond their capacity, and generally
in making them topheavy with deckloads.
In former years, considering the fact that
In coaStwise traffic the sea is often heavy
and always abeam, a sufficient allowance
of coal was made to enable the ships to
take zigzag course across seas in rough
weather, thus making the passage much
safer and more comfortable; but in recent
years this allowance has been SO reduced
that the vessels have to pursue straight
course under all circumstances, except in
case of extreme peril.
No person has made trip on one of these
steamship lines without being forced to
realize that the safety of the passengers is
always a secondary consideration. One
reason for this is that the receipts from
passenger traffic are light in comparison
with the revenue from freight, but the
more important reason is that the law
makes the companies liable for loss of
cargo under certain circumstances, while
it is dumb concerning liability for loss OF
life. This is an outrage upon civilization.
The theory upon which this extraor-
binary condition OF things is based is that
the officers and crew have their own lives
at stake, and that in protecting them they
guard the lives of the passengers. Yet
railroad companies are in precisely the
same position, and the law holds them
strictly accountable for loss of life under
carelessness or mismanagement. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that persons
engaged in hazardous pursuits become
careless and take chances with their own
lives which they must not be permitted to
take with lives entrusted to their care.
Our steamship companies having
shown themselves Indifferent to HUI
man life and safety, and having
been in constant pursuit of a policy
which encourages foolhardiness on the
part of their sailing officers, nothing is more
urgently needed than laws which will
bring them under the operation of humane
principles; and as navigation on this coast
is peculiarly hazardous, and has been at
tended with SO many appalling disasters, it
is strictly in order for CALIFORNIA; repre-
sentatives in Congress to urge the passage
of such laws
