OF course 1t was not to be expected
that corporations which were enjoying
exclusive rights and privileges under the
general law passed two years ago by the
legislature would surrender them with
out struggle. When a corporation gives
I'D a good thing voluntarily We may be
sure that we are right on the eve OF the
millennium. Nevertheless such privileges
ought not to be enjoyed by anybody.
whether individual or corporation, ex-
ospt under extraordinary cir
cumstances. There are doubtless
rights and privileges OF such
a nature in their relation to the public
that they cannot be open to composition.
But when such rights are granted they
ought to be surrounded with conditions
that will preclude my possibility of
their abuse. Many of the rights granted
by the act of the legislature which Gov
ernor Powers criticised In his message
are not of such kind. They are rights
that there Is no more reason to grant
exclusively to one individual or corpora
tion than the right to publish news
paper or to run a machine shop. OF
course a newspaper proprietor or ma
chine shop proprietor would be highly
pleased If the Legislature should favor
him with a law forbidding anybody
else to run a newspaper or machine shop
without his consent. But we imagine
that the gentlemen who are now at Au-
gusta fighting for similar privilege
for their enterprises would laugh long
and loud at the idea Of such law and
ridicule 1t as absurd. And yet there is
Just as much to be said in favor of it as
in favor of what they are after. They
say that man who have been putting
money into enterprises such as they re-
present ought not to be su bjected to The
danger of blaokmail. The sauna is equal
~ true of the person who has invested
his money in newspaper or a machine
shop. The same line of argument that
is relied upon to justify exclusive privi-
Isges in the case before the legislature
would be equally valid In justifying the
legislature to undertake to say how
many grocery shops there shall be in a
city or town, how many lawyers and
how many doctors. A multiplication of
PERSONS engaged in any business or pro-
fession; tends to increase.compstition and
cat down the income Of that business or
profession: 1t tends to push out many
wort y men who are engaged in them. Ii
she legislature proposes to protect certain
ines of business let it protect all kinds
+ business. Let 1t pass bill similar to
j . one pending in the New York legis-
sure which makes it unlawful for any
et-on ''to advertise for sale OF to sell
ID. article at less than cost price or at a
CO so low as to iDjure the business of
other merchant"

MENACED BY SMALLPOX.
American Prisoners in Cabanas in Danger of
Infection.

4ul6CblUus
New York, April pa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says small
pox has made its appearance IN the
CabahasE prison. Ona Melton, an
American correspondent and mem
ber of the Competitor crew, contrived
to send note conveying this infOrma-
tion to friends here under date of
April Is. This information was at
once carried to Consul General Lee
and he promptly Informed the United
States government of the state of af-
fairs and also wrote to Acting Cap
tain General Ahumada inquirlng if
the report about smallpox In the Cab
anas prison was true and what steps
had been taken to guard the health of
the Americans imprisoned there.
A reply was received making no
statement about the prevalence of
smallpox in the prison, but saying
that the Americans would be vaccin-
ated at once. 1t is thought here that
the appearance of smallpox will make
the American government press for
the release of Melton and others, as it
has been understood that Spain has
practically decided to hberate them.
