WHETHER the administration
will make any use of the decision
of the q. s. Supreme Court sus-
tanning the Sherman antitrust
law and including railway pools
and agreements within it's scope,
is question that many men in
Congress are much. interested in.
1t was maintained by Mr.. Cleve-
lands two attorney generals--Ol-
ney and Harmon--that nothing
could be done under the Sherman
law because of the decisions of
courts against its validity. Now
that the highest court has revers-
ed those decisions and declal ed
the law valid, there is an oppor-
tunity for this administration to
clear itself of the charge of being
to friendly to the trusts, by vigor-
ously proecuting them, if it isn't
afraid to do so.

BRY.4.N.A ND THE CAUSE.

The first installment of Mr..
Bryan's material contribution to
the free coinage cause has been
made through the publishers of
his First BATTLE The first
months profits from his book was
SIG, 600, one-half of which he has
had RENTED to the three cam
paign funds, Democratic, Peoples
Party and Silver Republican.
Dividing this in proportion to the
supposed strength, Mr.. Bryan
Judges that he received 100000
Democratic, 100000 Populistic
and 5OO,0 600 Republican votes.
He sent $4,000 to Chairman
Jones, $4,000 to the Populist and
bimetallic committees and $500
to Senator Teller for the Silver
Republicans.
JIG remains to be seen what the
press which cast slurs on Mr..
Bryan as publishing his book
from sordid motives will say to
this noble act. It is not large
contribution, perhaps, compared
with millionaire and corporation
Igratuities showered on the Repub-
Ilican campaign committee, but it
is handsome, and no one knows
what the remainder which he will
sbestow, in his plan of dividing the
profits, will amount to. But con-
sidering MI. Bryan's personal la
.bors and sacrifices, in the cam
ipaign, his personal Sc, vice to the
cause he represents is unquestion-
ably the greatest ever rendered by
an individual in the history of
politics Of this or any other
country.
