A PLAYGROUND FOR DOGS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Having seen a paragraph about the pros
and cons OF n Playground for Dogs In Central
Park I think the matter all pros and no cons.
Miss De Wolfe deserves great credit in starting
the scheme. 1t is a long felt want. and can speak
for hundreds Of citizens and hear the voices
OF quantities OF children delighted give their pets
the much needed exercise which their health de-
mands and spirits long for. BY all means start Il
and perpetuate it forever, and let 1t he accessible
for all
The idea Of dogs fighting is absurd-let them fght
it out that must fight

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! have noticed of late in the papers the
name OF Elihu Root mentioned in connection with
the nomina ton for Vice-President at the coming
Republican National Convention. Mr.. Root would
undoubtedly make a most excellent candidate and
would fll the Office with exceptional ability.
But why should the nomination necessarily go 10
the State OF New-YOrk? VIII not Mckinley surely
carry Ne7-York as against Bryan in any event?
The nomination will naturally come to the East.
and. in my opinion, can safely 20 to strongly Re-
publican State If the right be found
II seems 10 the writer that Governor Wolcott
OF Massachusett would make an exceedingly pop
uar candidate and an ideal Nice-Presldent He
seems to possess every qualification for the office
and ought, If his name should he presented 10 the
convention 10 command the unanimous support OF
the New England States. and in addition enough

COMMENT on CURRENT TOPICS.
STATE AND LOCAL POLICE POWER.
From The Kansas city Star.

FROM Inc Kansas lily star.
The real State police power. just as the United
States police power. is only called upon In emer-
gencies. If there is emergency in St. Louis or
in Kansas CITY such as failure OF the CITY ponce
do their duty. for any reason the state steps IN
and takes undisputed charge. Again, II the state
fails to cope with the situation, the President or
the United States may-evcn against the Will or the
State oficers-direct the United States Army TO
take charge and restore order.
No such questions are involved in the 81 Louis LOUIS
and Kansas CITY police laws except as subterfuge
No emergency exists. All is peace. No genuine
State police is created All that is done is TO give
certain men In St Louis and Kansas City an
opportunity TO select policemen with view TO con-
trolling the party machinery. TO send delega-
tions to Democratic conventions In accordance with
their private political purposes
UNCERTAIN LEGAL STATUS OF TRUSTS
From The Boston Advertiser.
Undoubtedly the trusts have shrewd lawyers. men
versed in special pleading and with long experience
and wide Information at their command II II is
possible TO form a trust. which shall ovade the
Antitrust law. these lawyers are just the men 10
find out the way. Apparently they thought they
had found ii out when the Addyston Company was
organized. The Supreme Court thinks otherwise
and says that the Antitrust law applies. 1t looks
as II the decision must be made in the case OF
any other trust
New-York tribune., 1899-12-11
.UNCERTAIN LEGAL STATUS or TRUSTS
COMBINATIONS IN ILLINOIS.

From The Chicago Record
Absolute purchase of all the assets OF similar
corporation and absolute liquidation OF all its
liabilities seem be essential to la wful consolida
lions i'm Illinois, and such conditions must neces-
sarily hinder the formation Of new trusts Com
parativcly few OF those I'm existence show
perfect compliance with these conditions They

PUSHING THE CURRENCY BILL
From The Washington Star

out the slightest dsrespect to those who vigorously
resisted H. That. II may be assumed. was purely
nartIv manRuyre. When the Republicans con-
trol The House the Democrats complain OF short
commons in the matter OF time for discussion
When the Democrats control the House the Re

has administered that medicine 10 the other so
often that the wry face always put up when the
