SOME new DISCOVERIES
RETURN OF NATURALIST
PERKINS FROM KAUAI.
Additional Bugs for Science-Mr.
Perkins Experience d Bad Wealth,
er-Will Leave Soon for Home.

r. c. L. Perkins, the naturalist,
returned yesterday from Kauai,
where he has been collecting
bugs in the mountains above Ma
kaweli for nearly month. He says
positively that this will be his last
excursion before his return to Eng
lard, as he has had about all the
hard work he wants for a while.
Camping out in the rain day after
day and hunting for small bugs is
not to Mr.. Perkins liking, espec-
tally when other countries offer a
far richer field for his research.

AGAINST THE TRUSTS.

The decision rendered by the United
right of the government to proceed
against the Trans Missouri Freight as
ISOLATION under the Sherman antitrust
law will greatly encourage those who
are fighting or who want to fight the
railroads and the trusts AS pointed
out by Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Morrison, this decision affects
freight and passenger traffic associa-
lions Of every character. The provis-
ions of the antitrust law, as well as
the interstate commerce acts, can now
be invoked in the case of every traffic
association existing for the purpose of
pooling interests and maintaining
rates The great associations thus af-
fected are the Joint Traffic association,
covering all the territory east Of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio; the
Southern Railway and Steamship asso-
citation, covering the territory east of
the Mississippi, south of the Ohio and
west of the Potomac; the Western as
ISOLATION. embracing the section be-
tween the Mississippi and Missouri riv-
ers, and lines between Chicago and st.
Louis; the Southwestern Traffic associ-
alton, somewhat subordinate to the
Western, operating in Missouri, Texas
and the Southwest, and the Transcon-
tinental Traffic association, including
the Trans Missouri association, operat-
ing west Of the Missouri, throughout
the far West and Northwest, but with
ranifications into the territory of the
western and southwestern associations
Thus the railroad traffic combines
throughout the country come within
the scope Of the decision and are liable
to be arraigned in the courts by United
States district attorneys for violation
of the two laws cited.
But the most interesting part of the
utterance of the court is that which
deals directly with the trusts. 1t goes
so far as to declare that all of them
"have been induced by motives of in
| dividual or corporate ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
as against the public interest" There
can be no such thing as "a benefcent
monopoly" according to this opinion of
the federal Supreme court. Prices may

may be lowered, 1t is in the power OK
the combination to raise it, and the re-
suit in any event is unfortunate for the
country by depriving it of the services
of large number of small but indie
pendent dealers, who We're familiar
with the business and who had spent
their lives in it, and who supported
themselves and their families from the
small profits realized therein. Whether
they be able to find other avenues to
earn their livelihood is not so material,
because it is not for the real prosperity
of any country that such changes
should occur which result in transform
ing an important business man, the
head of his establishment, small though
u may be, into mere servant OF agent
of corporation for selling the COM
modities which he once manufactured
or dealt in, having no voice in shaping
the business policy of the company and
bound to obey orders issued by others.
Nor is it for the substantial interests
of the country that any one commodity
should be within the sole power and
subject to the sole will of the combina-
| ton of capital.
Thus is the sacred right of latter-day
money-making dealt with by five of the
judges of the Supreme court. The next
thing is to find out how to make the
combines and the trusts loosen their
grip.

from the defendant the capital sum OF
$3.50 for balance due on his note of $3.50,
dated at Montreal the 3Oth November,
1894, and by which, at one month and a
half from date, for value received, he
promises to pay to the order of the
plaintiff the said sum of $3.50, with in
terest, in default of payment at ma

day, or 1895 per cent. per annum, Civ
