bound to confer. In other words. by breaking
its implied contract with the State to serve
and benefit the public it violated the law Of
its being and forfeited its franchise This is
not new principle of law, but it has been
so little enforced in recent years that 1t has
become practically almost obsolete. 1t is
gratifying to hear from a Supreme Court
that where a corporation has failed in the
discharge Of its corporate duties by uniting
with others in carrying out an agreement
the enforcement of which is detrimental or
injurious to the public. 1t thereby may be
said to offend the law of it's creation and,
consequently. forfeits its right TO longer en-
JOY it's franchises" A few such decisions
as this will go a great way towards clear
ing up the atmosphere and fixing the true
status Of corporations. II furnishes ire
mendous weapon against trusts, since any
corporation that enters a trust to restrict
competition or control prices does thereby
violate the law OF its being.

A POOR KIND OF PATRIOTISM.

Everybody has heard of the man who
was in favor of the Maine law but ''agin its
enforcement" The little Americans who call
themselves anti-imperialists illustrate an
other phase of the same kind of states
manship. Finding that critics and OPP
ponents Of the government in time of war
they have subjected themselves to the charge
of disoyalty they have taken the ground
that they are not opposing the government
of tho government and the Constitution as
they understand them, but are opposed to
the way they are being administered by the
President and his constitutional advisers and
assistants Therefore they claim that they
are consistent and loyal in trying to defeat
the policy of the administration by giving aid
and comfort to its enemies in arms.
The little Americans who are thus ex-
hibiting their lack of patriotism would do
well to ponder some remarks made in the
British House Of Commons on Monday by
Hon. A J. Balfour, government leader in
the House. A proposition to vote grant of
$4,000 to General Lord Kitchener. sirdar of
had elected carping criticism from the oppo-
sition. They did not dare to oppose the mo-
ton openly. but. to use an American phrase.
they attempted some peanut politics. The
report says:
In connection with his reference to mix
ing politics in military matters Mr.. Balfour
declared that those who wished to withhold
from successful general well merited re-
ward because he carried out a policy of
which they disapproved were virtually tell
ing him and his soldiers who had faced
death but to know whose orders they were
obeying. Mr. Balfour added that the coun-
try whose army concerned itself with poll
ties was on the verge of military despotism.
This exactly defines the status of our lit
tie Americans and of the Democratic lead
ers who are opposing what they call 1.-THE
conduct of tho war" They are not opposed
to the government-oh. no; but they are
doing all in their power to convince our sol
diers in the Philippines. officers and men.
that they are violating their duty to God by
assisting in the prosecution of "this in
human war" In effect. they are telling the
soldiers that they owe their first allegiance
not TO the administration. but to some
higher law They are mixing politics with
military matters and subordinating loyalty
to the government to their personal whims.

OMAHA, Neb., June 6.-The following let

to as being printed in the London Truth

Mr.. Osborne. 1t was a most severe ar

II am in no way responsible for the mix

resemblance between them, anyway. Lloyd,

Mr.. Churchill as the United States vice
consul general at this place, but never had
occasion to assume the duties OF the office,

and is still advancing. 1t is thought the in
crease in the price of all kinds of agricul-
tural implements will be from Is TO . per
cent. on present prices. but even then prices
will not be as high as they were in the
prosperous year 1892.
This will not be pleasant news for the
farmers, but ii has a compensating aspect.
The high price of iron, which is the cause
Of the prospective increase in the price OF
agricultural implements, is an unfailing sign
of general prosperity. AS the Journal has
remarked before, high prices mean high
wages, and these mean increased consump-
ton, so, IL farmers have to pay more for
their implements they will get more for
their products. AS long as the present era
of general prosperity and good wages con-
tinues the home consumption of farm prod
ucts win continue to increase. and If the
foreign demand keeps up. as it is pretty
sure to, there will be a steady advance in
the price of farm products. The farmers as
a class were never in better shape than
they are now, and with fairly good crops
this year their financial condition will be
still further improved. With good bank ac-
counts or pockets full of money they can af-
ford to pay a little more for agricultural
implements, whereas with empty pockets
and starvation prices for their products
they could not buy them at all.
