ENFORCEABLE ANT1-TRUsT LAWS.

ENFORCIBLE ANTITRUST LAWS.
John Sherman wires the New York
World: mo doubt the existing anti
trust law can be enforced by a pres
ident and vigorous attorney general in
sympathy with him." That law was en-
acted July 2, 1890, with Mr.. Harrison
president for nearly three years follow
ing. His attorney general instituted
the suits brought against the sugar
trust that resulted in a decision that
the act was not applicable to that
trust Mr.. Olney anticipated this de-
clston in his report in which he pointed
out the inadequacy of the act. Mr.
Sherman's comment is a severe criti-
cism, if well taken. on President Har-
rison and his attorney general But it
is not we'll laid The president and his
legal adviser have nothing to do with
the enforcement of the act other than
to bring the actions and procure the
evidence. Whether the offense Is
proved, whether the acts established
fall within the act or not, is q question
they have no jurisdiction Of That rests
exclusively with the courts, and they
have decided that the act Of 1890 is not
sufficient to reach the trusts. 1t was
more than suspected at the time of it's
passage that it was not intended to
be, and that 1t was merely a SOP
thrown out to quiet sentiment that
UyI,1
cion found confirmation in the failure
of the suits brought and as vigorously
the suits brought and as vigorously
pushed as it was possible to press
them.
But If the law of the United States
cannot reach trusts located in a state
and doing business within 1t the people
are not remediless. The action of the
attorney general of Illinois in the whis-
ky case and that of the author
tiles of New York in the milk
combination and other trust cases
show that the state is sufficiently
armed. There is no state in which the
attorney general cannot bring and
prosecute to final Judgment actions
within its borders. Every law author
izing the creation of corporations. and
they cannot exist without such author
ization, only permits their formation
for lawful purposes. Every trust and
combination is unlawful, not only un-
der statutory, but under the COM
mon law. The attorney general
of any state could. if he cared
TO, bring quo warranto against
any corporation in the state
that is a member of a trust or combi-
nation either to restrict trade or con-
troll prices, to show cause by what right
1t transacted such business within the
borders of the state. What arrant nom
sense 1T is to be passing antitrust laws
that amount to nothing when simple
and ample remedies are at hand to be
effectively applied by any attorney
general Of any state. The act of 1890 Is
a farce If it was not intended as a
| fraud. The limitations on the power of
congress, the complex relations of the
states with the nation, render it ex-
| tremely difficult to devise an adequate
remedy that will not infringe on the
reserved rights Of the states. But these
latter have a redress in their own law
if they have attorney generals plucky
enough to apply it.

TWO RARE PALMS MISSING.


Charles D. Elicit, the florist at Third street
and Pleasant avenue, notified the police yes
terday that a couple Of fine palms belonging
to him had been stolen. The plants had been
on the porch of Arnold Kalman's residence,
1872 Summit avenue, during the summer, the
florist thinking that the plants would thrive
better in the open air than in the greenhouse.
Yesterday he sent a drayman to bring the
palms back to the store, but they had been
removed several hours before The coachman
employed by Mr. Kalman said a couple of
boys with an express wagon drove up early
yesterday morning and said they had been
sent to take the palms away. The coachman
had an idea they had been sent by Mr.. Ell
felt and allowed the youths to carry on the
property.
Mr.. Elfelt notified the police, and stated
that the palms were worth about SIS each.
They are about six feet tall and. as Mr.. Ell
felt explains, are rare in variety that he
has hopes Of being able to locate them.
The lads who took away the plants had
quite Job in placing them in the express
wagon and said they were going to take them
out in the country.

WOMAN IN LUCK.
Nominee of All the Parties i'm Doug
las County.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. 9-Mrs. Ben
Jamin Richardson. a highly educated
lady, who resides in one of the outside
towns in Douglas county, is one Of the
iuckiest women in the Northwest. She
IS the first woman in this region to re-
celve substantial recognition at the
hand of any political party, and en-
joys the distinction of acquiring sue
cess IN a strife between some of the
shreWdest politicians in the county.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Richardson was
nominated by the Democrats for county
superintendent of public schools. Later
IN the day the Republicans nominated
her, owing to the fact that the differ
ent factions were unable to agree upon
any one of the prominent male candi-
dates. Then the Populists followed
suit. and, fourthly, came the silver
Republican party with it's hearty in
dorsement. The lady has, therefore,
been nominated by all the parties for
a position paying a salary of 500 per
month, and as there are no opposing
candidates in the field she win re-
quire but one vote to be elected.

sentiment Is rapidly gaining ground in this
county. AZ the late Populist county con-
Vention which was their only convention OF the
year, some six or seven precincts refused To

1t Is generally conceded that A. v. Williams.
at present assistant secretary and local treas,
urer of the ST. Paul & Duluth, will succeed

ton has not as yet been formally accepted

Mr.. Williams has been with the road FOR
nfteen years and has worked steadily upward.
His appointment as secretary and treasurer
would not take him from St. Paul, as he
would make his headquarters in this city.

Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, the Tam
many fighter, returned from a CONT
mental trip the other day, and, in an
interview on the one main issue of the
campaign, said: ut is a moral ques-
tlon. I like to repeat the lesson Of my
experience with popular appeals in poll
ties, that there is q sound moral feel
ing in the people to which we can
look with absolute faith, and by which
we can win victories. That is the way
the successes in municipal politics have
been won. The advocates Of reform
simplified their issue down to it's moral
form of statement, and the great body
of voters understood it and could not
Withstand that plea, honesty, good
faith, fair dealing, the right. I believe
the South and West are reacting be-
cause they are beginning to perceive
that what waa demanded in their name
was not an honorable thing to ask
for"
1t was not to be expected that the
on so high plane as that taken by
the famous New York reformer. 1t is
not line Of appeal that it has been
accustomed to ever since it achieved
tts first victory in the contest with
slavery. Since then it's constant ap-
peal has been to the fears, the preju-
dices and the selfishness of men. 1t
throve on the fear of the rebel briga-
diers;'' it fattened on the prejudices
aroused by the war, and it grew corpu-
lent on the material wealth it gave
the manufacturers and promised the
wage earners and farmers. In this fate
full campaign it pursues the same line
of persuasion. 1t breaches the doctrine
of rewards and punishments. 1t alter
nately tries to brighten and coax with
promises of spoils. It "frys the fat
from corporations to get the means to
preach in press and on hustings the
gospel of gross, unmitigated selfish
ness. That there is question Of
morals, of simple right, Of plain hon.
when some man like Parkhurst sounds
the note. Put money in thy purse.
Make all the money thou canst. Thou
art sure of me; go make money" The
spirit of Iago inspires Republicanism
today as it did that conspirator when
he counseled Roderigo.
True to its instincts of gain and
pelf, instead Of meeting the proposition
to debase the currency, that debtors
may defraud their creditors, with the
rebuke that 1t is dishonest, and appeal
ing to the moral sense of men to re-
Ject the dishonorable proposal. it ar
cues the details Of gain or loss as
IL they were the only things to be con-
sidered. But, as in all cases Of ap-
peals to the self1shness Of men, the
gains promised some involve loss to
others. For government has no re-
sources except those drawn from the
people. and what 1t gives to some II
given the beneficiaries Of tariff pro-
lection comes from the pockets of the
consumers. The bounties given sugar
planters comes from earnings of the
people. For a time consumers and
sarners may be deluded by visions OF
compensations, but 1t Ia only for g
time; the sham is sure to be discov.
