TOBACCO TRUST WINS.
Individual i'm Conducting
It's business.

Trenton. n. j., March 12.-vice Chancel-
lor Reed this morning filed with the clerk
OF the court of chancery his decision dis
missing the bill brought against the Amer
lean Tobacco Company for the purpose of
restraining the tobacco trust from trans
acting its business in a manner prejudicial
to the complainants and injurious to the
people of the state of New Jersey. The
opinion is voluminous one, and Vice
Chancellor Reed makes comparison as to
what would be the rights of an individual
and of corporation under the same con-
dition. He says that it would not be
thought of 10 go into court to restrain All
individual from exercising the right of
selling to whom he pleases, and he argues
that :. corporation has the same right in
this respect as an Individual.

POPS LEFT A LOOPH0LE.
Be Wholly Imperative on Ac-
count of m Oversight.

Topeka, Kas., March H-tSpecialD A flaw
has already been discovered in one of the
pet measures passed by the Populists which
will render it imperative. 1t Is in the bill
introduced by Senator Hanna requiring
corporations operating gas, electric light or
water plants to pay all over s per cent of
their net earnings to the cities for the ben
efits enjoyed under their franchises. and
also providing method for municipal ac-
uuirement of such plants. The bill attempts
to regulate corporations only. Usually bills
of this kind read person. persons or cor
.person or persons. In order to evade the
provisions of the law all that will be neces-
sary for a corporation to do will he to
transfer the title TO its property to an indi-
vidIial. The bill is now in the hands of the
governor and will likely be signed with the
flaw in it. Even If the governor discovers
it, it is now too late for the legislature to
remedy the mistake.

ANNIE DIGGS HAS HER SAY.
Declares There Is No Excuse for the
Failure to Enact n MAXI
mum Rate Law.

Topeka, Kas.. March I.-(Special0 Annie
L. Diggs, who is looked upon as one of the
ablest exponents of Popul;st principles in
Kansas, in speaking about the failure of
the Populist legislature to enact any rail-
road legislation, says:
The failure of the legislature on this one
point is the one thing above all others cal
culated TO diShearten and to shake the
faith of their constituents. 1t is not at all
a valid excuse that maximum law would
be set aside by the courts The legislators
were not elected to surrender before possi-
Bile overruiement. 1t was not at all TO the
point to plead interstate obstacles. These
were no new enemies. The supreme court
and the interstate commerce law were
problems of familiar discussion. They ex-
listed before the Abilene platform. There
remained no new thing to discover or say
after the convening at Topeka. The merits
or dement's of a maximum rate were not
pertinent to the business in hand. The
time for education had gone by. Whether
beneficial or otherwise. there was but one
plain duty-that of enactment into law by
the delegated representatives of the people.
Whether relief or disaster resulted from
the operation of that law was not the busi-
ness of the instructed servants of the peo-
pie.
'.As to Senator Harris personally. there
popular disfavor should break in fury up
on him than upon the other mistaken
members of the legislature That Senator
Harris personal integrity has been lowered
Is unthinkable. No one who has known
him for years, as l and lots of others have.
can permit suggestion dishonorable to
him TO pass unchallenged."

When this campaign was started, from q

In fact, the whole affair seems to lave been
