District Attorney Davis has expressed
an opinion relative to the recently en-
acted Sunday liquor law, in which he
declared his belief that the statute does
not debar hotels and clubs from sale OF
liquors on Sundays with meals as hereto
fore,
The opinion of the District Attorney
is that the old law in this respect is not
changed, but that the new act simply
provides for an omitted case, that oil
delivering intoxicating liquors on sun
day, sold on some prior day of the week
The words "orIother person or corpor'
alton" we're inserted so as to prevent
evasion. The bill was submitted 20 Mr..
Davis before It's passage, and was rec
ommsnded by him in the clear belief
that 1t would not have the effect claimed
Tor it.
Commissioner Wight said that he
did not consider Attorney DAVIS state
ment on the new liquor law as official,
as il had not been made at the Com.
missioners' request. He said they would
ask an opinion from Attorney Thomas
before deciding to enforce or not enforce
the law.

An innovation In Sleeping Car
Service
introduced by the
BAI.TIMoRE & OHIO RAILROAD

BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD
Commencing Monday, February I3th,
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will
introduce a new feature in its sleeping
car service, between Baltimore and
Newark, Ohio, lnaugurating what will
be known as the "Ordinary" sleeping
cars, in addition TO the regular standard
sleeping cars. One OF these cars will
be attached to Train No. Il leaving
Baltimore at TOO pm and arriving. in
Newark at 1923 am next day, returning
on Train No 8, leaving Newark $50 pm
ard arriving in Baltimore 1858 pm next
day.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is the
first line o introduce this service IN the
eastern territory for special convenience
of the travelling public. In these
"Ordinary" sleepers the Pullman rste IS
reduced one halt so that passengers have
the choice of paying the higher Pullman
rate and occupying standard car or take
advantage of the cheaper rate and
occupy the "OrdnaTy" sleeper.
These cars are new, have been specially
constructed for this service, and differ
from the standard sleep ng cars only IN
being less elaboratelV furnished. The
seats are upholstered in rattan, and the
sleeping berths, when made up, have
all the comforts and conveniences OF the
standard cars.
Tickets will be on sale at regular
Pullman ticket Offices han Hing business

A JOY to the DistiIIers.

News from Kentucky says that whisky
has gone up from 6 to 7 cents in conse-
quence of the passage of the Evans
outage bill, which was slipped through
Congress in its closing hours, ,uno0served
by any one in Washington. The bill
had been pending for nearly two years
and had been amended and favorably
reported in both branches of Congress.
Senator Pettigrew had objected to its
consideration in the Senate when unan'
imous consent was asked and it was
supposed that the bill had been killed,
but at almost the last moment Senator
Lindsay managed to get it considered
and passed.
The bill was regarded as a simple
matter OF justice. 1t allows outage for
seven years on all whisky made prior to
January I, 1899, and provides for a
regauge on the whiskey at the end OF
the seven years with a tax only on the
amount of whiskey in the barrel at the
time. 1t is calculated that gallon and
a halt is lost from each barrel of whisky
every year, which made the distillers
under the old law pay $3.50 on six
gallons of whisky which had evaporated
into space. Under this new law this
money is saved on each barrel and the
distillers figure that they will save
$8, ,ooo. COO on the whisEN already made

On Feb. IS, at Hamilton, O., Judge
Neilan rendered a decision in the case
of Waldvogal VS.. the Grand Lodge A..
o. U. w OF great interest to the MEM
bers cfthls and similar orders throughout
the United States!
Plaintiff was a member OF Wilhelm
lodge of Hamilton, and carried $4,000
insurance. Shortly after his joining
WaldVogel entered the saloon business,
which is prohibited by the order, and at
ameeting OF the local lodge was expelled
Waldvogel then sued to recover
$500. so paid in by him as dues, Judge
Neilan held that when Waldvogel
opened the saloon he knew that he was
violating the conditions of his policy and
that it was liable to lapse, and that he
had received the benefits in proportion
to the amounts paid by him as dues
through the protection his beneficiary
had received up to the time OF the
cancellation OF the policy. The court
thereupon found for the defendants, and
dismissed the case at plaintiffs costs.

Work Of the Last Congress.

Mr. b. S. Platt, enrolling clerk of
the Senate, has prepared statement
giving, in figures, the results of the
work OF the last Congress. The state
ment shows that LAST bills and joint
resolutions became laws out Of a total
of 1S,463 introduced in both Houses.
OF the measures introduced, 12,60S
were presented in the House and
1856 in the Senate. Of those which
became laws, 942 originated in the
House and SIS in the Senate. There
were only two direct vetoes during the
Congress, one of these applying to a
Senate bill and the other to a House
measure. There were, in addition to
these, four pocket vetoes-bills which
failed to become laws because they
were not approved by the President.
The record shows that the Senate
passed 1,173 of its own bills and that
the House acted favorably upon only
SIT O. fewer than half of them while
of the 1901 House bills passed by the
House the Senate acted favorably
upon GAG. A larger number of bills
were introduced than in any previous
Congress.

A Prolific Increase Of Trusts.

y NV \ III dispatch states that an
alcrage OF twenty trusts q week are
l.!ug formed on Wall street; that 81
giant organizations OF capital are be-
ing !Uuned 10 control every conceivable
h'.-.n">- PROJECT. Not only the number
al these combines but the iar-rcaching
magnitude ui some 81 them cXClteS the
alarm oi thinking men, as we'll as the
surprIsc Of the masses. In one day,
this month, eleven trusts were inaugu-
rated, with combined capital OF over
two hundred million dollars. Nearly
every article OF necessity and luxury
has been placed under the control of
these great combinations within the
past year.
The effect OF these combines is not
alone disastrous to the public, by re-
moving 4 healthful competition and a
reward for small independent indus
tries, but in the organization OF trusts
there are always provisions made for
the whales that are not accorded to
the smaller fish which bite at the COM
mon bait. Many OF the trusts are
over-capitalized, and the common
stock. so greedily absorbed by the in
experienced, will wait long for divi-
dends, if any are ever paid.
The method of roping in is as fol-
lows: The plants and good will o:
the minor companies are bought at
extravagaut prices by the issue of say
seven per cent. cumulative stock, and
an enormous amount of common
stock, upon which the promoters do
not expect to pay dividends, is distrib-
uted among the insiders as a bonus.
They unload it in Wall street, where
it is sold to the public, which despite
warning, is now swallowing it voraci-
ously.
The origin of trusts was probably
legitimate enough, to get rid of the
frequent embarrassments and disas-
trous effects of cut-throat competition,
and from that view might have been
regarded as commendable use of
power to protect the interests of labor
as we'll as capital, but the use OF power
OF combination soon demonstrated its
capacity as money-maker, and cor
porated greed lost sight of the in
terests that labor had acquired by
making the result possible. In the
regulation of prices, after the margin
of profit for capital has been deter.
mined, very little attention is paid to
the fixing of reasonable reward for
labor. and hence the poor man and
his family 60 hungry and naked,
while the owner of the preferred stock
OF the trusts becomes multi-million-
airc.
1t is even proposed to form trust
on the strawberry product of the East,
by which the grower will be absolutely
at the mercy of the middle men-the
owners of cumulative preferred stock
ii the larger growers, tempted by
the gilt OF common stock, 60 into the
combine. The prospectus of this cor
poration fixes the amount of capital
stock at 100000, equally divided
between common and seven per cent.
cumulative preferred stock. The COM
pany will be organized under the laws
OF New Jersey, have a working capital
OF 100000 and its managers expect,
with the aid of the American Straw
berry Co., corporation already
formed, to control the crop of the
whole country.
1t may be that the performance of
trusts will become as leading an issue
as reconciliation of silver in the next
national campaign.

A LATE meeting of the President
and Speaker Reed on Jekyl Island,
has set politicians to guessing as to its
object and its bearings upon future
political history. Mr.. Reeds positive
nature precludes the belief that the
interview was a surrender, on his part,
while the evident endorsement of the
Administration by the Republican
majority in the House and the party
everywhere, leaves Mr.. Reed with very
small groundwork upon which to base
his ambition. Even Mr.. Reeds own
State has paid tribute to the "powers
that be-" and the autocrat who has so
long lorded it over the minority in
Congress seems to be doomed to
swallow quite a humiliating repast
of humble pie. All this gives strength
to the statement made some time ago
that Mr.. Reed had about determined
upon retiring from politics and en-
gaging in law practice. If he does so,
however, it will be plainly making a
virtue of necessity-a "West Point
resignation" as it were.
