, senate finance committee.

the senate finance committee, of
which our venerable Senator Morrill, is
chairman, have already begun considera-
ton of that measure in an Informal way,
and If advices form the national capital
are correct, it will hardly be recogniz
able by its sponsors when it is reported
bv the finance committee to the senate
as whole.
According to the present programme
the tariff bill will be passed by the house
April l, one week from next Thursday,
but it is now believed that the measure
will lose its momentum as soon as it
strikes the higher branch of congress.
Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island and
Allison of Iowa are quoted as saying
that the bill would have to be thoroughly
revised in the senate, and they undoubt-
edly voice the sentiments of other repub-
lican members of the finance committee
as we'll.
Some of the members of this commit
tee are said to be opposed to the wUolen
and lumber schedules as well as other
important features of the tariff pill, so
that it seems safe to expect that the
crudities that crept into different sched-
ules will be eliminated when it reaches
the senate. The belief is now expressed
that fully two months Will be consumed
before the final vote IS reached on the
bill in the senate, and inasmuch as the
house plainly intends to leave for the
senate the work of making desirable
changes in the measure. it is difficult to
see how the 700 odd different items could
be considered carefully in less time.
The ways and means committee of the
house have spent months in the prepara-
tion of the measure and leading con-
gressmen outside of the committee have
also been freely consulted. The leading
republican members of that body are
therefore fairly familiar with the pro
visions of the tariff bill, but so far as the
senate is concerned it is practically an
entirely new measure. The country
would like to have the bill passed as
soon as possible, bur it is much better
that time should be taken in the ser ate
to thoroughly revise the work Of the
house on the measure than that the
country should be afflicted with another
defective tariff law on tOp of the wilson
German monstrosity.--B Burlington Free
Press.

ANTITRUST LAW SUSTAINED.

The supreme court of United States
has Just rendered decision which incl
dentally upholds the antitrust law. BY
a majority opinion the court decides that
the agreement of the trans-MissOuri
Freight association to maintain rates
within its territory was violation of
the antitrust law of 1890, prohibiting
contracts and combinations in restriction
of trade, and must be abandoned.
The opinion, after referring to the re-
adjustment of industrial life following
the adoption of labOr-saving machinery
proceeds as follows:
MT is wholly different, however when such
changes are Effected by combinations OF cap
ital whose purpose in combining Is to con-
troll the production or manufacture OF any
particular article in the market, and by sucn
control dictate the price at which the article
shan be sold, the effect being to drlYe out o
business all the small dealers IN the com
modify and to render the public subject tt
the decision OF the combination as TO wha
price shall be paiO Tor the article.
"In this light it is not material that th'
price OF an article may be lowered. IL Is II
the power OF the combination to raise IT, an'
fine Jesuit in any event is unfortunate tor th'
country by deprving II OF the services oi
large number OF small but independent deal
,ers who were familiar with the business, AM
who had spent their lives in 1t, and VINO sup
the small profits realized therein"
1t is evident from this extract that IN
opinion of the supreme court in this cas-
goes to the very root of the trust evi
and the decision can not fail to haV
widespread and wholesome effects

TRUSTS AND THE CURRsNov.

We would call the especial attention
of our readers to the article on Trusts in
|another column. from the Burlington
Daily News. 1t would appear to be in
the main fair statement of the cOndi-
|tions. and certainly, if half it announces
as fact is true, this whole system Of
trusts cannot be too quickly extermlnat-
ed by law.
The decision on the antitrust law just
|,nade by the United States supreme
court, the substance of which is else
where given, makes an excellent start In
the direction of abolishing trusts, of
Whatever sort, and we believe the peo-
pie can be depended on to finish the war.
The closing sentence of the Daily
News article we can endorse, that lit is
not going to make much difference, after
while, whether we have gold, silver or
paper money. if it is all going to benefit
business olgarchy." But the other
statement, that the currency question is
about settled, is utterly untrue. There
hasn't been the slightest thing done yet
in the settlement of the currency ques-
tion, except an increased and very rap
idly increasing perception on the part of
the great majority Of the people, that a
contraction of currency, such as nee
essarily follows a gold standard, is a
|death-blow to national prosperity,
and especially unjust toward the agri-
cultural and other producing classes.

Bill Against Tipping OF Doctors
Introduced in Virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 20
Several measures of Importance re-
ceived more or less consideration in
the Legislature today. The Judiciary
Committee presented its bill revoking
the license of any physician who may
hereafter be discovered in an intoXi-
Gated condition Some opposition will
manifest itself among those who think
it interferes with individual liberty.
1t is likely to be amended to include
druggists, and possibly some other oc-
equations where drunkenness is men
ace.
The theater hat bill was killed by
the committee, and though there are
two more bills covering the same sub
ject. no legislation is probable.
The anti-lynching bill. providing
that the county wherein a lynching
occurs shall pay the heir of the de-
ceased $4,000 and for removing the
Sheriff from Office and permanently
him for any public office
if he be found blamable, passed the
House and will become q law.

she furled her sails and dropped anchor
in the vicinity of the Swanhilda. Capt
Roos says that it was the toughest
voyage he ever experienced, and that
he sighted nothing in the shape of a
sail from the day he left Hilo until
he reached the Farallones. The wind
being fair he refused a tow and sailed
into ports. +. Call.

sailed his vessel into port he had two
stOwaways in irons The men refused

and water diet. Last Wednesday night
they locked up as usual, and the chief
officer saw to it that they were securely
handcuffed together.
Yesterday morning they were gone
and also the captains gig. The latter

latter said he did not want to prosecute
them, and said if they would row the
boat back To the G. d. Bryant he would
give note to the mate instructing him
to unlock the handouts and let them

later on they were put ashore and now
they say they will prosecute Captain
