To Punish Bribery.

A bill has passed both houses of the
legislature making it a felony for any
officer, state, city, county or township,
to accept anything of value for his
vote, Judgment or action. One Sec
ton is devoted to the legislators
and makes it felony to receive
any reward whatever for either Civ
ing or Withholding vote. Another
section makes it a felony for any can
didate to give any valuable thing for
votes or help in any caucus or conven-
ton. The lowest penalty is one year
in the penitentiary and the highest
seven years.

Within a few steps of the intersec.
tion of two of the busiest thorough
fares in Chicago, If not in the entire
country, is a store through the portals
of which more people pass in the
course of day than enter into and
depart from any other establishment
of its size in the West. Men and wom-
en- whose faces bear the stamp of in
telligence and culture; women who
lead in society, art and letters; men
who are prominent in the professions;
lawyers, physicians,artists, judges and
Journalists. The exterior Of the place

which is that of center of current

CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 1895. Messrs.

duty Of every person to acknowledge
a service rendered, no matter what its

The Rutland Herald replies to oul
recent article on "Trusts" in col.
umn-and-a-half editorial. The article
is so apt in the authors handling Of
the question and SO good-natured in
tone that we sincerely regret our in
ability to reprint it entirely, as the
Herald generously did our editorial.
The Herald claims it was misunder-
stood by us in one particular--it does
not even admit that the theory Of
trusts is wrong. 1t thinks trusts and
monopolies do business on the same
principles as other people-they buy
low and sell high. They are no worse
than other business concerns except
that they are larger, is the position OF
the contemporary.
True, perhaps, yet in their very size
lies the danger. Small concerns are
servants of the public. They must de-
pend upon the market. When a COM
bination of producers or dealers so
manipulates matters that the market
depends upon them then the combi-
nation is the master of the public, so
long as this state of affairs exists. Not
to take advantage of SO favorable an
opportunity is to be more than hui
man.
Who would feel inclined to locate
in place which advertised among its
attractions that its grocers were all
united to maintain certain schedule
of prices; its meat men to charge GER
tain rates for meat; its ice men for
ice; its clothiers for clothing; its
bakers for bread; and so on! OF
what would it avail to say that these
unions of dealers agreed to make the
prices reasonable The principle is
wrong. What the unions might con-
slider reasonable profits under such
circumstances would quite naturally
be unreasonable. How much more at
tractive would be the announcement
that there were no unions of the sort;
that free competition prevailed! The
principle of trusts and monopolies
cannot be defended;it practical opera
ton perhaps may be for the reason that
trusts can only benefit the public when
they fail Of their object, which is al
ways to stife competition and gain
abnormal profits.
The Herald condemns newspapers
which "howl'' against trusts and takes
the case of newspapers themselves as
an instance OF the harmless effects OF
trusts, inasmuch as s'hardly any other
article bought and sold by men has
concerned in its production as many
monopolies as a newspaper" 1t claims
that the newspaper is the product Of
almost solid procession Of trusts and
monopolies from the time that the
native wood OF the forest starts on its
Journey to the pulp mill from which
it emerges as paper; on through the
printing office, where monopolies in
type, presses and news gathering beset
it on every hand; until it finally

None Now Profess to Believe War VIII
Result.
LONDON, Dec. 20. = The afternoon
newspapers continue their comments
upon the Venezuelan question, and the
hope is expressed that the Christmas
holidays will contribute to bringing
about calmer mood on both sines of
the Atlantic. All possibility Of war be-
tween Great Baitain and the United
States, however, is regarded as being
over, and the affair is now viewed chief
ly from the standpoint of American do
nestle politics and from its bearing up
on the financial situation.
Thomas A. Edison, the American in
ventor, is being pleasantly chaffed as
the result of the publication here of an
alleged interview with him in which he
is quoted as describing a number OF
startling inventions which he is said to
be ready to bring forward in the event
of war.
The ST. James Gazette, commenting
upon the statement attributed to Mr..
John f. Redmond, the Irish leader, re-
garding the attitude of Ireland in the
case, styles him traitor, and says it
believes him also to be hbeiler when
he says that Ireland would go solidly
American. The St. James Gazette
asks what would happen to the Amer
lean politician just now, who would
say that in the event of war Ireland
would fight for England

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 25.-A special from

by a seemingly well founded report
that over 1000 titles to property in the
city and county are imperfect. An attor-
ney is here from Washington, and he
brings abstracts from the land office to
show that the patents had never been
issued in over 1000 cases. In the orig
inal pre-empting of property the land
Office in Milwaukee issued duplicate
certificates but not conveyances. The
parties never applied for patents and
the titles still rest with the government.
