II may be as1mftfed Cor the sake OF
argument that tbere 10 q great deal Of
meaningless talk induIged In about cor
porase greed ard corporate corruption
Every dsnsaxog1de and every dishonest
se1aker afsex public favor thinks THAI
the only thing 1npk - necessary for
him TO do In order b tnsEnnediateiy
pbtaan popularity with the masses - TO
sxtse . hue snd cry against corpora
.sons.
There has been so nzuch OF dis kind
OF talk and It has been % assiduously
hammered into the heads Of the people
by dishonest politicians that many may
be found who really beieve that cor
porations per &c ARE necessarily corrupt
and dangerous and q menace to the
rights and privileges OF the people
This d. Of course. IN absurd idea
Any cns who stops and thinks VIII
realize that without some such laws AZ
those under which corporations are or
ganizad and exist 1t would be impos-
sihie TO secure the aggregates OF CAPT
tai necessary to carry On great indus
trial enterprises. Corporations honestly
organized and honestly conducted may
serve necessary and useful purpose.
Unfortunately. however. 80 many cor
porations have been dishonesty organ
lied and dishonesty managed that
there Is good ground for the popular
prejudice that exists against them.
The latest case In point - that OF the
whisky trust This gigantic monopoly
was conceived IN Violence and fraud
and has been nurtured I'm dishonesty.
The facts In relation to the manage
Inent OF che trust were Drought out at
q heax1ng this week before Judge Gross
cup in Chicago. which resulted IN the
removal Of ]. B. Greennut. president OF
the trust. from the rece5veshap. In
making his finding the Judge said that
the president and directors had no SUBJ
ssanftal interest in the stock Of the
trust. but that the greater part Of the
stock was held by New York stock
brokers for speculative purposes. He
further safd: "a receivers duty should
be the enhancing Of the property which
he u TO control. Admissions In court
show that Mr.. Greeniaut was heavily
sfsort on the stock. and THAI accord
ingiy his personal interest would die
tate the depreciation OF the stock rather
chan the enhancing OF its value
What Is true OF the whisky trust Is
true probably OF ssany OF the other
great monopofies organized under the
name Of trusts and of many OF the great
raiiroad systems of the country. They
are managed primarily not In the Inter-
ests OF the stockholders and of the pub
lie. but IN the interests OF the officers
and directors. In order that they may
profit. all OF the methods known TO
modern financeertng are adopted and In
the end the burden rests upon the peo-
pie. who are called upon to pay diyi-
dends upon millions of wa&ered stock.
When CORPORATIONS have been sat down
upon 80 hard that the water has been
squeezed out Of them they are liable TO
get more consideration and sympathy
at the hands OF the general public than
Is now accorded them.

THE TAYLOR CASE.

Language OF the Court in Reversing
the Decision--IlistOry of the Case.
Waco, Tex. June 1i.--The decision
of the criminal court Of appeals In the
case of 4. c. Taylor, eN-parte, on
original writ OF habeas corpus from
this. the Nineteenth, district. was read
here with much interest The history
Of the case as given in the decision
is as follows
Hon. l.. W. Goodrich, judge Of the
Nineteenth district, heard under ha-
beas corpus the case Of King and 9TH
ers, charged with the murder OF one
Cash, and discharged all the parties
but one. Afterward the Peoples Voice,
newspaper published at Gatesvillc,
contained an editorial criticism of the
proceedings. severely arraigning the
action Of Judge Goodrich. The judge
caused an order OF attachment Of the
persons Of one Goodman for publish
Ing and Taylor and McArnold for in
sorting and causing said publication.
on the return OF the writ and answers
all the parties We're fined and ordered
Imprisoned for contempt. on the same
day the governor by telegraph directed
the sheriff to suspend the enforcement
OF the judgment, and on the next day
Issued an unconditional pardon for
Goodman and Taylor. The sheriff dis
regarded the pardon and refused to
release them.
The court in reversing the case says:
THE statement Of facts as agreed to
and brought before this court shows
that relator did not inclte or cause the
publication, and that he had no Snuwl-
edge OF its intended publication or that
1t was published, until he read In In
print"
Hon. Waller Baker represented Mr..
Taylor In this case, and is very proud
of the decision.
1t viii be remembered that at the
time Of the arrest Of these parties
there was much excitement over the
action Of Judge Goodrich and IL was
claimed that 1t was an attempt Of
the Judiciary to WELD a dlctatory pow
err over the editorial expression OF
newspapers. The action Of the court
above does not decide in the TAYLOR
case the point involved, but liberated
defendant because of his innocence as
TO the article published.
Editor Goodman, who was also in
dicted. 1t will be remembered was
Killed in duel with Editor Armstrong
who also met his death, In dIspute
over the same matter at Gatesville.
The whole matter comes from the
