many nublc men and private citizens have felt
that the mere assertion of that loglcal presuihp-
ton did not in embarrassing cases leave the
Government OF the United States III a Wholly
Identified and comfortable position. The Day Iol-
lowing Baron Fava's recall in 1891 Slghor

said I'm the absence OF the l'rlme MlDlStcl, w
Mr. Porter the American Minister 10 Italy:
Suppose a dozen American citizens were MUIR
dered In an Italian city and we pleaded lHlPo-
tence to punish the murderers because the CITY

toDCmous form of government what opinion

This Is a somewhat crude expression OF
partial view but 1t Is not without moral force.
A tendency to recognize the announcement posi-
ton in which the Federal Government may be
placed by the Limitation Of its powers Is clearly
traced in !ts habitual readiness to make pecu-
MARY recompense on account OF acts OF laWless
violence committed in any State. No lack OF
solicitude and good will can be alleged against
the United States in such cases. As Mr.. Blame
said the Government does not permit Itself TO
be unduly hurried. but it is invariably prompt
to investigate a complaint and acknowledge a
proved injury. and eager TO make such repara-
ton as the circumstances suggest. Yet THIS IS
not all that Il could wish 10 be able to do The
ACCESSIBILITY of bestowing upon 1t such measure

son and President Mckinley have recommended

The decision OF the Supreme Court in the Ad-
dystOn Pipe case, just because IL has no real
bearing upon the legal status OF the many in
dustrial corporations formed within the last
year has a considerable influence In the stock
market. This particular combination. II turns

claim whatever TO be an actual consolidation Of

was intended to and actually does make their
operations Illegal. cannot be disputed even by
those who have regarded that act as mistake.
But the decision places In clear light the fact
that IL was not the mere form OF organization
that made the combination illegal. but the effort
10 exercise the powers OF monopoly In con-
trolling prices and restricting interstate traffic.
At once the question arises, How many Of the
new consultations which keep so secret their
modes OF operation Will upon investigation be
found guilty OF the same offence?
Since no one can know while many concerns
are managed with secrecy as they have been.

General Manager Thomas j. Ander-

ton. said yesterday that the action OF
the City Council in refusing to assist in
the spring jubilee that would bring
thousands of people to the city and re-
dound in great good TO the entire COM
muni;y, would not interfere with the
associa ton in its cndeavors to get up
the carnival.
RATES AND CONTRIBUTIONS.
Nj. Anderson was busy yesterday
writing letters to the transportation
companies relative to rates, contribu-
tons. etc. and il IS understood the
soliciting committee will start ont at
once to ascertain how much money can
be raised. AS the carnival is to be a
fixed affair, it is very DESTROYS that the
initial jubilee he Il Srcat success. and
every effort possible Will be made to
make it such.
OF course the more attractive the en-
tertanment can be made the larger VIII

impression left on the minds OF the
strangers who attend.
WILL NOT Go IN DEBT.
The association does not propose 10
go in debt, but will eXpend in attrac-
lions all the money that can be raised

Lansburs Company certain personal
property TO secure it a note of the
grantor's held by said company. III
this deed u right was reserved to the
grantor TO keep possession of the prop
erty until 1t should be required OF her
as provided in the deed. Some time af-
forwards the company obtained an at

peal was taken. The Court says:
Upon the case presented the action OF
the County Court was clearly right UNI
der the express terms of Section 29Sl
OF the Code. which provides That Inc
attachment shall be Quashed If 1t be in
valid on its face or appears TO have
been Issued on false suggestions or
without sufficient cause, and that when
ouashed there shall be an order for the
restoration of the attached effects TO
the defendant.
1t is, however. contcnded that the
petition of Jackson and kibler. trus-
tees. and the Lansburg Company was
fled under section 1854 of the Code. and
that by virtue OF that section they had
the right TO file the petition in this
proceeding, and have the same con-
sdcred and acted upon.
Section 29Si was intended to give
any third person, before the attached
property is sold, or before the proceeds

and dispute the plaintiffs right TO the
property or It's proceeds. In the case

the real petitioner is the PLAINTIFF in
the attachment. The trustees repre-
sent no other creditor and set up In
their petition the same debt sued on
in the attachment proceeding. The
Lansburg Company as petitioner. cam
not dispute with itself as plaintiff in
the attachment over the attached eff
fccts. Section 29Si was not intended t.
enable Il creditor to bring his debtor $
property into court under an attach
mcnt issued on false suggestions. and
avail himself Of this invalid proceeding
TO accomplish MS petitioner therein,
what he could not accomplish as plain
tiff in The attachment.
For these reasons the judgment OF
the Circuit Court must be reversed and
annulled, and the Judgment of the
County Court affirmed.
