merical strength will be diminished. Mr..
Bell said that there was just the least
bit of ingratitude in this, con nsidering the
cooperation of the Populists with the
Democrats in the last campaign. He, how
ever, said that Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Reed
had acted well in the recognition of the
Populists in the debate. The Congress
sional Record, for instance. of yesterday,
was strong in Democratic and Populistic
literature.
The agitation for recognition of the
Populists will be continued until they
succeed, said Mr.. Bell, they being now
entitled to it by reason of their 21 votes
in the House and their s votes in the
Senate.
Ii is believed that while the Populists
may succeed, 1T will not be as members OF
that party, but as individual members of
the House.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Trans-Missouri Freight Case
DjSuOsed Of

Justice Peckham, inthe importa ut opinion
rendered in the Supreme Court yesterday
in the Trans Missouri freight case, said:
1.-THE question is one of law in regard to
the meaning and effect Of the agreement
itself; namely: Does the agreement restrain
trade or commerce in any way SO as to be
violationof the act? We have no doubt that
it does. The agreement on it's face recites
that it is entered into for the purpose of
mutual protection, and violation subjects
the defdulting company to the payment of
penalty.
while in force and assuming it to be
lived up to, there can be no doubt that
its direct, immediate, and necessary ef-
feet is to put restraint upon trade or
commerce, as described in the act. We
think the fourth section of the act invests
the Government with full power and au.
thorlty to bring such an action as this
and if the facts be proved, an injunction
should issue. The DEGREES Of the court
OF appeals of the circuit court must be
reversed and the case remanded.'.

been no such steady upward push by any

of the company are so excellent, it's ability

The action of the stock exchange on
Saturday III giving notice to the Western
Union that the ticker contract would not
be renewed is having its effect on Western
Union stock, but n ot to the eXtentthat some
traders may have supposed it would The
statement of the company with regard to
the charges that it has not lived up To its
contract, is that it has endeavored TO carry
out its agreement in good faith, and where
violations of the letter of the contract have
occurred it has been oversight or the result
OF running along in established practice
If the stock exchange had thought that
the contract was not being observed the
opinion OF the Western Union seems 10 be
that it would not have been amiss to have
called attention to such violation. This is
a very sane and very logical view to
take of the matter. The fact is that the
stock exchange does not know what TO do.
A great many members of the exchange
would be very glad to shut out the bucket
shops, but the directors, if they are really
