attention. The men who are seeking to
Dreak the trust under the Sherman anti.
trust law are confident that they have
sunk the entering wedge The oral opin-
Ion Of the court In granting the restrain
Ing order convinced those who heard It
that Judge Baker intends to make 1t hot
for the trust when the case comes on for
final hearing. In deciding the case he
said:
"A corporation Is the creation OF the
law. 1t derives Its very power to exist
from the law. 1t has no rightrul authorI-
~ to form combination or conspiracy
with any other corporation. An agsrc-
CATION OF corporations for the purpose Of
raising prices and controlling the mar
kcis OF the country and making illegi,i-
mate gains from the people is unlawful
In violation Of good morals and sound pub
lie policy. and Is dangerous to the wei.
fare Of the people. 1; Is the duty OF the
courts. rs well as that Of the Congress Of
the United States. to exert the full meas
'ire OF their power for the purposeof sup
pressing all unlawful trusts. combinations
and conspiracies.
"ln this case the combination was
shown TO be n conspiracy OF the corpor-
a'ions engaged In the manufacture Of
wire nails to control the market price. to
regulate the output Of each factory and to
crush out and suppress all competition
In the market. and by trickcry and In
'imitation 10 prevent manufacturers OF
wire.nail machines from manufacturing
any such machines for any one except Il
member Of the combination. This tr,is,
has. by bribery and intimidation. pre-
vented the wirc-nail machine nianufac.
turing company of Andersen. Indiana,
from carrying ont a cnntrac: lawfully en-
''''' 'b'' Ni'h Wv w
them forty wirc-nail machines. This ac-
ton on their part directly affects the In
tcrs:a,c commerce. between the state Of
indiana and the state Of Ohio and falls
within the very letter OF the antitrust
law Of July ., 1890. Thcrc Is no doubt
In my mini that such Il combination Is
Illegal and that Its purposes are vlolativc
OF sound public policy. The common
law expressly forb,,ls the organization
Of such combinations. composed Of mum.
cro,is corporations or firms. They are
dangerous TO the peace and good order OF
society and they nrrugaic to themselves
the exercise OF powers destructive Of tho
right Of free competition in the markets

The final outcome Of this case Is
looked FOR with interest by manufacturers

A story OF two flags is told by cor.

cruelty in Cuba. The foreman OF a
plantation attacked by the Spaniards
was a French citizen. He rctreated IN
10 his house and wrapped himself IN
the French nag. In spite OF this sig
nificnnt protest he was seized and put
TO death. No such contempt was
shown for the colors of another coun-
try whose protection was invoked. A

n British consul in search Of a young
man against whom they had some cause
of complaint. Putting the young man
In room the consul nailed the British
flag across the door. anddared the Span
iards to tear 1t from Its place. The as
sailan,s knew that the power OF the
british Empire was represented by that
nag, and the colors were undisturbed.

lesson that tho British flag protects the

Drainage Improvements -Beeville's Band
Is Hot Stuff"-Straw Rides.
BEEvILLE, Tex, May 29.-LSpe-
cial "A large force Of hands and
teams were put to work this week
on the ditch leading along the
Southern Pacific railroad, from the
depot to the creek. The ditch not
being wide enough moderate rain
would overflow it, to the damage
Of property on the the north side
OF the track. This has been q
source OF litigation for the past
three or four years. The object
now is to cut the ditch about 20
feet wide and dig it so as to give a
pitch of feet toward the creek.
1t is thought this will afford ample
drainage to that part Of the town
north OF the railroad.
The Beeville brass band gave q
street parade few evenings ago
and everybody was surprised at
the improvement made. 1t should
receive encouragement from the
citizens, and the boys say it could
not be better expressed than by a
donation to purchase uniforms.
Some of the young people took
advantage of the beautiful moon
light nights this week. Several
parties went out on straw rides,
the straw evidently cutting very
little figure in the affair, for, upon
the suggestion Of one of party a
search of the wagon was instituted
and three straws were found.
