anxiety: IF the present Congress enacts
retroactive duties, what is to prevent q
future Congress from showing its anita gon-

provision, doing away with the Dingley
rates and allowing importers to collect
from the Government the difference be-

TOBACCO TRUST WINS.
A Canadian Judge Affirms the Le-
paIjty OF It's Factors Agreement,

Montreal, April 13.-JudSe Dugas has
just delivered Judgment In the case of j.
M. Fertier VS.. the American Tobacco Com
pany of Canada (branch of the trust in
the United States) adversely to the plain
tiff.
1t was alleged by the prosecution that
the company's contract system with deal
ers and jobbers was a violation OF the
criminal law against conspiracies in re-
straint OF trade.
Judge Dugas, in summing up the case,
said that he could not find that it was un-
lawful to agree with q number OF parties
that they should sell the cigarettes OF the
defendant company exclusively 1t was
true that some OF those who signed the
contracts averred that they felt it in their
interest to do SO, but he only found
party who, being the proprietor ofa manu-
factured article, asserted his right to dis
pose of it IN the way he thought best for
his own interest. He pointed out that it
was optional with any dealer to decide
whether he would handle the goods of the
defendant company OF not. disagreement
did not involve a conspiracy on the part
of either of the parties TO it, but merely
indicated q manner OF disposing OF goods
which was found to be profitable TO the
owners, a right which pertaned to any
citizen or legal person, existing under the
law.
With reference TO American precedents
in the case which had appeared favorable
to the complainant, he said there were
also other judgme nts which were not adj
verse to such an agreement.

The Great American Metropolis.

The Greater New York, or the City of
Manhattan, as it should be called, is prac-
tically an accomplished fact, and we may
fairly congratulate the nation, state and
the great metropolis upon the fact that, on
the st OF January next, the United States
will contain the second city of the world
in point of population. Greater New York
will have over three million inhabitants,
and will rank second only to London among
the earth's metropoli. 1t will leave Paris
in the background and relegate Chicago
and Philadelphia to the milky way of vii
lage nebulae.
This grand accomplishment has not been
achieved without bitter opposition. Much
of it has been based upon the theory that
Greater New York would be safely Demo-
cratic if allowed to come into organic
being. There doubtless was much of truth
in the fear and the prediction. We hope
so, and thereupon again congratulate the
city, the Empire State and the nation
