CONGRESSIONAL EXTRAVA-i
CANOE,

Is there one standard of business
sagacity aud probity for official and
another for private life3 This question
is suggested by many Of the acts OF
the late Congress. In private business,
extra expenses generally lead to closer
economies and greater. watchtulness
over expenditures. The events of the
last year have involved the country in
extraordinary expenditures for which
the people must pay. They had a right
to expect that their representatives
their servants-would pracgice the
! closest economy. In face of this, the
record of expenditures was never be-
fore so heavy, The figures given under
Events of the Week show that, out
side the expenses of the late war with
Spain, the appropriations exceeded
those of the famous-Or infamous
Billion Dollar Congress" whose reck
Iessness received an over whelmlng re-
buko at the hands of the people. An
other shameless expenditure is that IN
volved in the funeral obsequies OF de
ceased members of Congress. When
a member dies at his post, it is custom
ary to send a committee Of his asso
ciates to accompany his remains to his
former home. No right minded man
would object to a proper Observance OF
this expression of regard. The senti
voo-k 80 Ill pS-hk hYYE tho Trouble IA IN
its performance. For instance, a few
weeks ago, Representative Dingley
died in Washington. The usual Gus
tom was observed. The details Of tx
penditure are just coming to light.
Some of them are enough to make that
honoredS0n of Maine turn in his grave.
They certainly are enough to make the
living blush for shame. The total eX
pense was about 81 500. Representa-
tive MillIken, of the same State, was
buried less than two years ago, for lst
one fourth that amount. In his life
time, Mr.. DiDgley was a ~teetotaler, g
prominent worker in the temperance
cause, and an oficeholder in temper
ance organizations. His whole life was
a protest against intemperance. Out
o respect for his we'll known principles
orders were issued that the liquors
which have usually accompanied these
iunketing trips should be excluded
But it is said that vouchers for the
payment Of whiskey and champagne
purchased by order of a ''prominenN
statesman" are now on file in thu
clerks Office at Washington. ThC
highest, priced cigars, also, are included
as we'll as many other luxuries. Ism
it time for a reform9 Shouldn't any
prominent statesman who would
even countenance, not to say partici
pate in, any such shameful doings, b.
forever disgraced in the eyes of all de
cent menl-Bural New Yorker.

THR LAW.

The Winston Journal quotes Senator
Glenn as saying that the antitrust law
passed by the legislature will be efec-
tive if enforced. 1t says:
Senator R. B Glenn tells US that be
regards the Stew ! anti trust law as
the best that could be got. 1t will be
effective if enforced and will be fair to
our State"
We hope Senator Glenn's view is
correct. We are for anything that
will hit the gang, but fear that the
Senate took all the lightning out of the
House bill. However, a matter Of
opinion will not affect the law If there
is any virtue in it, and with ten Demo
cratic Solicitors in the State to set the
machinery in motion, we see no reason
for delay in testing the matter.
Replying to an inquiry of the Dur
ham Herald as to the fate Of the anti
trust bill, the News and Observer says:
IAN anti trust law did pass on the day
before adjournment, after the Senate
had changed the Stevens law until 1T
could not be recognized Senator Glenn,
of FORSYTH, says that il is a very good
law. We hope it is right, but we had
feared the amendments had we'll nigh
emasculated it. We hope our fears are
groundless."
The Wilmington Messenger also
shares the News and Observers fears.
1t says:
I'VE are informed that an act passed
by the legislature WIS so favorable to
trusts that one is now actually form
ing under it at Winston"
The "unkindest cut of all" the House
bill sustained in the Senate was the
elimination of the following section:
Sec. 5. Any purchas' n Of any ar
ticle or commodity from any individual,
company or corporation t~ransacting
business contrary to any provision OF
the preceding sections of this act shall
not be liable for the price or payment
of such article or commodity, and may
plead this act as defence to any suit
for such price or payment"
The above would not have applied to
any but violators of the first four sec
tions of the act, who are, in the Ian
guage of the act, guilty Of q conspir.
ecy to defraud." The penalty is none
too rough for such cattle. This section
would have served warning on outside
corporations that if they violated the
law they could not use u courts to
enforce their contracts. What objaC
ton there can be to euch an eminently
just provision we are at q loss to under
stand. Any debtor to a trust taking
advantage of it would be interested II
CO operating with the State in convict
ing the trust, since proof OF its gull
would release him fcom his indebted
ness to it. With this section cut out,
the whole burden Of proof falls upon
the State, which will have to hunt for
evider ce the best it can, and be it
known that men who might be tempted
to tell what they know from self int
est will not hunt up the Solicitor to tel
him how to catch a trust they are n
good ter ms with.-Webster's Weekly .
