THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. ON IN-
DUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS.

To our mind. ono of the most remark
able anomalies of the day is the posi-
ton occupied by the New York Journal OF
Commerce towards combinations OF cap
ital for industrial enterprises. That
paper made for Itself the exalted position
II held under the editorial control Of the
late David NJ. stone. by it's broad and
luminous advocacy Of entire freedom in
commerce and traffic. But the position
1t now takes and maintains with The
vehemence that seems almost to involve
personal feeling. would put abridgements
and limitations upon the freedom Of con-
tract. that would logically and almost, If
not quite, all concerted action between
men.
Appalled, by the almost unanimous pro-
test Of thinking men against the doc
trines that the Supreme Court OF the
United States put out in March last, IN
the Trans Missouri Freight case the
Journal of Commerce labors in an eabor-
ate article last Tuesday to show that
they do not abridge the natural freedom
OF men 10 sell their own property upon
their own terms. or TO enter into such
contracts as they please that are not in
spired by malicious motives toward their
fellow men. 1t presents the following
view as evidence Of its proposition. 1t
says the Supreme Court agrees that a
man may put himself under valid Oh
ligntion. as consideration for the sale
OF his property not to enter into
a competing business within d certain
territory and for a certain time.
But the Supreme Court agrees to no
such thing. Justice Peckham. delivering
the opinion OF the Court. says that the
courts have introduced some rclaxations
in the old rules that defined contracts in
restraint OF trial. but he does not in
the slightest degree indicate how far the
Supreme Court Of the United States is or
is not disposed 10 adopt those relaxa-
tons. Upon the contrary. he proceeds TO
lay 1t down that as the antitrust act OF
Congress forbids. every" contract in re-
straint OF trade. the court felt itself com
PEELED 10 hold that every contract that
puts restriction upon trade is within
the prohibition Of the statute and there
fore forbidden. We have already, a few
days back shown the vice in the argu-
ment by showing that many contracts
that put restrictions upon trade really
promote trade in the average, and that
there can be no contract at all that does
not put restrictions TO some extent upon
trade.
The Journal OF Commerce must there
fore find some better ground than this
upon which to meet the general acclaim
OF thoughtful men against the Supreme
Courts doctrine or else come out and de-
clare that II proposes 10 80 on with the
current OF tho courts doctrine In spite OF
the fact that II put the most injurious re-
strictions upon the freedom OF contract
and turns US back 10 the political econ
omy OF Federal ages.
Feeling. possibly the pressure OF the
case. the Journal ofCommerce drops the
foregoing proposition and takes up the
old and exploded one that II may be law
full for one man TO do a thing but when
the same thing Is done In concert by
numbers. the act becomes vicious one.

Here lie two of a kind"

The execution of DR.. Duestrow, in
Franklin county, Mo-. viii go a long way
towards d.sabusing the public mind of the
idea prevalent that the possession OF
money makes it impossible to punish
criminals. 1t is a healthy sign that the
law is still supreme in Missouri, and that
cuprts, however wealthy, cannot escape
the consequences of their violations OF
the law.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says
that while Duestrow was tried for the
murder of his wife and child, it is safe
to say that he was convicted and executed
for the murder of the latter only. Dive
strow is described as "a characterless
tough, a gross sensualist, a comrade and
leader of the hoodlums. a habitue of the
purlieus and dens of infamy," and it Is
said that his wife married him knowing
all this, or was forced or induced TO
marry him by those who knew all this,
because he was very wealthy and the
heir TO millions. and there was very little
sympathy felt for her and very little in
dignation, comparatively, raised over her
death" The Appeal says that the murder
of the child, that was innocent of wrong
doing, infamed the public mind and
cansed the clamor for retrbuton.
Duestrow was defended by Ex-Governor
Johnson, perhaps the ablest criminal law
yer in Missouri, and the fight which he
made TO save his clients neck is said to
have been one Of the most pertinacious
and aggressive in the history of criminal
prosecutions. Governor Johnsons plea
was the insanity and consequent ire
sponslbiity OF his client, whom he strove
TO convince the jury was paronocic--a
victim OF delusional insanity. Commits
'sioners were sent throughout Europe 10
gather up evidences of insanity in the
Duestrow family for generations back,
and the most prominent medical experts
of this and other countries were employed
at large expense to testify IN the prison
er's behalf The case was removed 10
Franklin county from ST.. Louis on a
change OF venue. and the real battle was
fought over the preliminary trial OF the
defendants mental condition This was
decided against him. Conviction followed;
Executive clemency was appealed for In
vain--and the gallows got It's own.
