The statement of the President-elect that
he will not devote his time to dispensing
patronage is good news, in connection with
his energies to efforts to better the indus
trial condition of the country. Presidents
have been worn out and their time con-

sired to serve the country.

The introduction by Senator Frye of an
amendment to the sundry civil bill, appro-

Pearl Iarbor may revive the question of
Hawaiian annexation. The jurisdiction of
the United States over Pearl Harbor dates
back about ten years, but there has been
no attempt to assert it. The harbor is.
without exception, the finest In the Pacific,
and the question of it's ownership ought to
be definitely determined.

In 1892 the expenses of Indiana counties
for the holding of the election were $3.50. 912,
to which $19,0e5 should be added the cost
of printing State ballots and other ex-

ton $279, 917. Last year the cost of the cleo

cost of printing and handling the State bal

The discussion of the proposed antitrust
law before the Senate judiciary committee,
Thursday evening. makes it very clear
that the framing of a trust law which will
prevent trusts and at the same time not
make trusts out of mercantile arrange
ments designed TO protect large number
of dealers against loss, is difficult I'M
dertaking. Take the Sugar Trust a few
years ago about every dealer made price
of his own. To secure trade in other goods
certain dealers would advertise the sale of
sugar either at a price which could not
afford a profit or involve positive loss.
The fair-minded dealer who carries integ
rity into his business could not sell sugar
at profit, but to maintain his trade must
carry considerable portion of his capital
in sugar, to his loss. The less scrupulous
competitor. who was advertising to sell
sugar below the cost price, made himself
whole by cheating in weight Under the
present arrangement, as the Journal un-
derstands it, a price for certain markets
is agreed upon which affords small but
certain profit for handling sugar. Pos
siby such an arrangement would be held
to be trust under most stringent anti
trust laws. There is Sugar Trust 1t is
now arbitrary as was the Whisky Trust
a few years ago. Those who purchase of it
are practically compelled TO handle trust
sugar or take their chances with other ir-
reSuor sources of supply. The law should
deal with such an organization as the sugar
refners have in this country. because it is
odious and tyrannical conspiracy to con-
troll whole trade in a most important and
necessary article of food. OF the same ma
ture is the Standard Oil organization. Its
design is to rnonopolize the oil supply of the
whole country. It's customers must pur-
chase of the agents of the Standard. To
purchase a few barrels from other re-
fireries will cause the blacklisting of the
retailer who does it. That is trust; but
il number of retail dealers agree that
they will sell oil which costs them cents
for 10 cents gallon, must they be regarded
as trust in law designed to abate the
evils of the trusts, of which there is so
much complaint?

bondholders their interest, and to the
stockholders reasonable dividends. While
the protection of vested rights Of prop
erty is a supreme duty Of the courts, it

adequate way by which railway companies
can protect themselves from unjust ac-
ton on the part Of railway commissioners.
$50 the question is simply left to the
court to decide whether it viii stay the
operation Of these rates until this case
can be tried. 1t seems to me that there
is no other alternative than to issue m
each one of these cases a temporary writ
of injunction against the railway commits
sioners from causing to be published this
schedule of rates. There will be no i~njunc.
tion issue against the attorney general or
the other parties, mentioned in the suit,
and there will be an order of the court
in each case.
Il might refer to some points made by
Counsel for the defendants, which the
counsel may think that the court has
overlooked. but I have tried and endeav-
ored to give this case as much patient and
careful consideration as possible, and the
argument has extended over a wide field.
Some OF the arguments would be applica.
BILE were the case before the cours FOR

eral that the bills were not good, for the

Dakota alone, without taking in the
whole line OF road, and that position was
sought to be enforced by citing the recent
tax case in the United States surreme
court, that held that the state of Ohio
could. only assess railway property for the
purpose of taxation by taking the whole
value of the road into consideration, and
on the whole value find the proport;onate

not seem to me that that is a parallel
case, and in the absence of any other au-
thority, / feel controlled by the opinion
of Judge Brewer in the case of Aimes VS..
the Union Pacific, where he asserts that
that method would not be permissible.
1t may be that the United States supreme
court will find some new method by which
the earnings and expenses can be appor-
toned, but until that time | am governed
by Judge Brewers decision.
There was another matter in regard to
the Chicago and Northwestern road only
claiming a reduction of $1,000. Now, |
read these bills when they were filed, ard
| read them again last night, and / find
that the Chicago and Northwestern road
alleges that that is the reduction on it's
freight business, and goes on further and
states a reduction of 3 per cent on pas
senger rates.
There are Ca course some illustrations
as to the courts issuing injunctions in
favor of railroads and not to anybody else,
which l do not think counse' intended to
have any influence with this court, for
the reason hat no railway that / am
aware of has failed through business com
petition and went into a court of equity
and asked the court to help them out.
1t is only when the legislature in an at
tempt TO regulate the rates through the
board of railway commissioner impose a
schedule of rates that will not allow the
companies to exist and do business, that
they come into court.
Therefore the temporary injunction is
granted"
