Now of course the court of vista
Gion and other anti.corporation laws
passed by the special session, must
run the gauntlet Of the federal courts.
The acts creating the court of visita-
Zion and the telegraph rate law have
'been attacked by the Western Union
Telegraph company as unconstitutional
aud carried to the federal courts. The
laws will not be defended by the
states attorney but on account of
Governor Stanley's dlsgraceful COM
promise with the telegraph companies,
will probably only be defended by
such attorneys AS may be employed by
the private firm bringing the suit. or
course the telegraph companies will be
represented by the best legal talent
'obtainable. Everything that has been
'done by the attorney general concern
dng tue auti.corporation laws of the
special session was to have them de-
declared unconstitutional, and things
seem to have been 30 arranged that he

ONE Of the interesting facts broug

ONE of the interesting facts brought
out by the Mazet investigation In New
York City, is that George Gould's
name Is not on the tax roll, and pays
mo personal tax. j, Plerpont Morgan,
whose home is In New York, and who
is one Of the richest men In the United
States, a bond and money broker,
claimed exemption, but finally con-
scented to pay on 100000 which he
did. There are plenty Of men who
nave millions to give away where the
newspapers can report 1t, and the
a1unkies and snobs pirate about their
goodness and charity, but who strain
ttheir wits as In q deal Of millions to
cheat the government out of their
share Of its burdens. But these are

Do they allow two or three monkeys

Do they permit some smart young
