From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New York Tribune.
North Tonawenda. NJ Y, April 19-An
electric railroad was built five miles south
of this city between midnight and day-
break this morning. on April y the Buff
falo Niagara River and Grand Island
Electric Railway Company was incorpo-
rated at Albany to build an electric rail-
way from the foot Of Tonawanda street.
Buffalo, along O'Nell street, to the UpDer
Grand Island ferry. George p Smith the
Tonawanda street railway man, had de-
signs ON the same route, and proposed TO
build railroad in the SAME place. But
he did not advertise his intentions. as did
the recently incorporated company.
Late yesterday afternoon many carloads
OF rails and ties were shipped over the
Buffalo, Tonawanda and Niagara Falls
Electric railroad. which Is controlled Nv
Mr.. Smith, TO the foot OF O'Neil street.
At II o'clock last night a small army Of
men passed quietly through the city and
on he outskirts boarded waiting cars for
O'Neil street. When they arrived at that
place and were ready for the work In
hand they were confronted by an unforo-
: cen obstacle. Philip Fries, a Tonawanda
nan, was sitting on a lumber wagon In
he middle Of the road with a shotgun
pointed at them. He declared that ne
would shoot the first man who attempted
40 put down a rail- IN ONell street.
Mr. Smith directed his attention 10 the
man with the gun. The night was cold,
and the mans OvercOat was lying on a
pile Of rails AT the roadside. When Mr..
Smith told him he would freeze n be re-
manned there all night without his over
coat, he climbed out Or the wagon 10 ger

A Street Assassination.

Guess that's what you would call
the act of killing the business oppo..
tunities and prospects Of a street.
To-day the busiest street in town is
State street. It's southern continua-
ton is the public road leading to
Prairie Greig and the lower Yer
million, aud this road is the bludgeon
which is to be used to knock it in
the head. On the dividing line be-
tween the Blanchet and Area estates
the road crosses o low fat which 10
time of heavy rains becomes flooded,
and it is for this reason that the
Police Jury are called upon to put
the parish to the extra expense Of a
new road which the committee have
traced to ruE two squares TO the east
and parallel with State street. The
effect OF the opening OF this road
will be to bottle up State street
most efffectually and scatter out over
the ear Of town the travel which
now comes direct to the centre. The
openiniDg of a proper drain along
the line Of the Leon Broassard prop.
erty to drain into the coulee near his
old sugar house would solve the
problem to the entire satisfaction OF
every body save the people who are
interested in killing of State street.
When it is everlastingly too late the
merchants and business men on State
street will be kicking themselves for
not trying to kill off this new road.

One View of Trusts.


The following extract is from a
paper BY James E. Wright. pub
lished in Donahoe Magazine, Boston
more than three hundred trusts in
the United States control most Of
the necessities and Injuries of life,
without including the railways and
banks. These latter control the
means of transportation and ex.
change. OF the sugar trust, whose
officers were before the Lexow com.
mittee something over a month ago,
Judge Barrett stated judicialIy some
years ago : at can close every
refinery at will, close some and open
others. limit the purchase of raw
material (.hus jeopardiziug and. in
a considerable degree, controlling
its production) artifciaily limit the
pl oduction Of refined sugar, enhance
the price to Zurich themselves and
their associates at the public *
pense, and depress the price when
necessary to crush out and impover-
ish a f~oolhardy rival" The laws
which have been made by Congress
and mauy Of the States to deal with
them have proven utterly futile. The
trusts are as elusive as Proteus.
They change their names, head9uar-
tiers and forms Of management, AVOID
the tooth Of the law, and when their
officers testify under oath in public
Investigations their memories are
peculiarly defective. Bnt the thing
itself-the monopoly-lives on. and
wakes more poHerful day by day.
1t dominates state legislatures,
and has liz representatives in Con-
gress."

Can it be Enforced?

For a long time the merchants o.
the country towns have complained
of the horde of travelling agents of
the New Orleans retail stores who
swoop down upon their trade and
carry away big orders which they
claim should be sold at home.
The city council Of Baton Rouge
at its meeting on Monday last pass
ed the following ordinance
BE it ordained by The mayor and
city council Of Baton Rouge, That
all travelling agents offering any spe
ciee Of merchandise at retail within
the limits Of the city Of Baton Rouge
for sale, or selling the same by sam
pie or otherwise, shall, if represent
ing ore house, firm or business, pay
a license of $50 per annum; and for
each additional house, or firm of
business. he shall pay an extra Ii
cense of $25.
BE it further ordained, That the
administrator Of finance be and he is
hereby authorized to collect said
license, and on the refusal of any
travelling agent 10 pay the license as
provided for il this ordinance, to
seize without notice, IN property he
may find belonging to said travelling
agent, or found 10 his possession,
and sell the same to satisfy the
license, penalty and cost Of such pro
ceeding.
BE it further ordained, That all
ordinances in conflict herewith be,
and the same are hereby repealed.
BE it further ordained, That this
ordinance take effect from and after
its first pub ication."
The ST. Landry Clarion comment.
ing upon the above remarks Such
an ordinance should be on the statute
book of every town. 1t is grosslu
unjust to require a local merchant,
owning property and having at heart
the welfare of the town, to pay a
license to sell, for instance, clothing,
when MI. Somebody & Co., of New
Orleans, can come here and sell the
very same goods that the local man
pays q license to sell, without hav.
ing to contribute a cent TO The town
treasury. And still more so is ii
when the firm selling goods at retail
in competition to local merchants is
located in another State. in which
case it pays neither municipal, par
ish or State licenses.
All of which is very true, but tle
question is whether this advanced
idea of protection can be secured
in this manner. W. remember some
years ago the State legislature tried
to tax out the foreign drummers
with a high license law, and the
I United States Courts knocked it in
the head as being a violation Of the
interstate commerce laws. We arr
afraid the law wont bold.
