ANTITRUST BILLS.

1t Is strange thing that so many worthy and
experienced men, who have seen the rise and
fall and extinction Of many forms Of popular
excitement, should make haste 10 commit them
selves about the trust question, without any
effort TO consider what IL Is or what can be and
ought to be done about II. Senator Morgan Is
not shallow man, and yet he offers n bill on
this subject which 1t would probably be found
Impossible to enforce In n single case for a
thousand years. Even more strange are the
vagaries OF Others who propose laws which
would strike down some Of the most necessary
and useful methods of doing business ever
known In this country, I'm the hope OF reaching
others which are of questionable or hurtful
tendency. 1t would be well TO stop talking and
legislatlng about conspiracy" to do something
when the thing aimed at Is n lawful corpora
ton, professedly for the public good which can
not be proved to have been formed with any
other intention whatever. Sometimes Il seems
as II men were stricken with a kind Of lunacy
when they touch this subject and dropped on
the Instant all the practical sense they ever had
There are corporations formed by union or
purchase Of other corporations which are doing
mischief, or show distinct purpose to plumber
the public. No sensible man will object to any
exercise Of legislative power against such cor
porations which does not strike down others OF
great public utility and OF entirely different
character. The assumption that IL two men
agree together to raise the price Of anything
they have to sell they are necessarily public
enemies is barbarlsm so gross and fragrant
that nothing can excuse it. If legislation Is to
rise above the level Of sheer idlocy 1t must take
account Of the fact that exactly the same meth
DDS, perfectly moral and strictly lawful, become
in some cases hostile and in others helpful to
the public welfare.
Stoppage Of competition is not necessarily an
injury to anybody. score Of rivals sell goods
worth Sl0OO0,000 in year, and 1t costs them
s2O0O000 TO carry on the fight. II they stop
their war and waste, save the 100000 and
sell the same goods to the public for S9,0OO.OO0,
both producers and the country are benefited.
Nor is It necessarily n wrong II the stoppage
Of competition Is followed by an advance in
prices. Wages were too low in many woolien
mills. 10 per cent lower than in past years
of prosperity, and the American Woollen Com
pany raised them. Wool was too low, 80 that
current prices did not encourage a sufficient

WALL STREET AND THE WAR.

Since last weeks disaster to British arms In
South Africa there has been a marked increase
Of sympathy with Great Britain in this country.
No doubt 1t is largely consistent and sincere, be-
ing not so much newly conceived sympathy as
an ampler expression Of that which has long ex-
listed, made at the time when such expression is
most valuable and most grateful. In some
cases, however, there has been a complete and
sudden change Of front, so that those who a
fortnight ago were as Boersh as the Beers are
now as British as the British Such accessions
Of sympathy are by no means unwelcome to the
British side. But without objectionable cyni-
cism it may be suspected that such conversions
are not altogether void OF connection with the
disturbances and depression in the American
money market which followed so closely upon
the British reverses in South Africa. Indeed,
tween these conversions and the Wall Street
troubles was closer than that between the Wall
Street troubles and the British military disas-
tiers. At any rate, here is the interesting Sc
quence Of events: First, British reverses in
South Africa; second, rumors Of a British loan
and depression In the British money market;
third, panic and disaster in Wall Street, and,
fourth, n sudden change Of sentiment from pro-
Boer to proBritish.
The redeeming feature Of such conversion,
which on the face Of 1t seems selfish and sordid
to degree, is that 1t is effected in the right d.
rection. A change from wrong to right is to be
regarded with satisfaction, no matter what may
have been its melting cause. And considera-
tons Of selfinterest enter so generally and so
largely into the formation Of human sympathies
and judgments that there is no occasion to be
censorious toward them in this case. The chief
significance of the incident, however, Is in the
wider application Of the same principle which "a

DISPUTE AS TO THE OWNERSHIP OF PICTURE

DISPUTE AS TO THE OWNERSHIP OF A PICTURE
BY GEORGE INNEss LEADS TO AN ARREST
II was learned yesterday that William Miller. Of

Inness. which he owned The picture was given TO
be- sold TO a man who said he could sell II. Mr..
Miller says he has not as yet received any money
for II.
The man who has the painting paid $3.50 for II.
According his counsel he will retain possession
OF IT, unless he receives the $3.50 He will keep IT, he
saws because Mr.. Miller has told him he gave to
a man named Richard Oppenheimer the right TO
sell It.
Mr. Mller's story Is to the effect that William r.
Leonard IA picture dealer. OF Montclair. n j., Of
fered last August, to dispose Of tho painting to
good advantage. Mr. Miller bought the painting
three years ago for 5000 but now values 1t at 5000
afterward a man named Richard Oppenheimer
called upon Mr. Leonard Mr.. Oppenhemer said
he a had a customer who would buy the pcturA He
agreed TO return the picture the following day II
he did not sell II. The next day Mr.. Oppenheimer
returned and had the picture framed Mr.. Miller
heard nothing more OF Oppenheimer after that for
some time. The man who now has the painting
says he gave $3.50 TO a man named William Wild
for II.
Oppenheimer has already been arrested on a
complaint made by Mr. Miller and released in ball
On Tuesday the Grand Jury indicted Oppenheimer
and Wild ION a charge of having stolen a picture

increase Of production, being In May 49o cents
or 2115 per cent lower than in 1892, because
prices of goods remained low that many OF
the mills were no longer operating. Recovery
required an advance in materials and In goods,
and prolonged guerilla warfare of competition
between small concerns only made the return
Of prosperity impossible for wool workers and
wool growers Whether the advance has been
too much in one branch or the other Is not the
question. A law to prevent any advance would
be n Inv TO prevent public prosperity.
There are millions Of people in the United
States who are aware that they have not enough
knowledge to determine whether this Industrial
corporation or that has been managed for the
publIc good or against it. But being hot with
prejudice against great corporations does not
help TO fudge rightly and n sweeping enactment
TO destroy all alike is as childish as 1t Is unjust
The presumption which is so common among
the Ignorant, that any corporation must try 10
plunder the public If It tries to make money
does as little credit to the morals as to the
minds of those who indulge in 1t. Whoever
says that everybody else will resort to dis
honesty puts n black mark against his own
name. No man competent to conduct good
neonut stand is unaware that great success In
business is often attained by selling better and
cheaper goods than others sell. and not OFTEN
by any mode of defraudlng customers. Laws
which are based upon the notion that all man.
ayers of corporations must be dishonest ana at
the same time superlatvely foolish, refusing to
take the s,Irest mode to win success when IL Is
omen 10 them. are not the kind OF laws which
recommend sclf-government to mankind.
