AN EXCELLENT nICKET-ALTO-
GE1HER NOW, DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic city convention will
meet in Metropolitan Hall tonight to
formally make the nominations for
mayor. city clerk and city tax collector.
The primaries ON Tuesday night settled
the denomination of Mayor a. NJ Pow
ell. Clerk Ham f. Smith and Tax Col
Iector Chas. Il. IunEsden, the present
model capable and popular officials.
Mr.. Smith has held his office ,ong time
and is one of the most popular and capa-
bic officials the city has had. Mr..
Iaunsden deserved the renomina ton as
an endorsement of his efficient services.
Mr.. Powell was electer mayor upon the
election of Mayor Russ as Clerk of the
Court. He has long been Il public
spirited and popular citizen, progress
sive alderman, and his administration
was so satisfactory that the people felt
that he deserved an endorsement by
denomination. In the various wards the
nominations are such as to insure a CON
tinuance of the present progressive,
clean and honest city government.
SO far there are no indications that
there will be opposition to the ticket
named. 1t will not do, however. to rely
upon that for victory. The new eXecu-
tive committee ought to organize an ac-
tive campaign to see that the ticket
named is elected by an unprecedented
big majority The eyes of the Stare are
upon the capital city, and big majority
here cheers and encourages the unterri
fed in every part of the State.

AT BANKERS DINNER
A ONE-SIDED VIEW.

At big dinner to bankers given by
the Manhattan bank the two speakers
Senator Depew and Secretary Gage
warned the bankers of oyer-organMatiOn
and over-captalization Mr.. Gage tod
this story which illustrates some of the
phases of the present oyer-capitalizatioa:
a man of my acquaintance owned Il
team of fine horses. Shortly after he had
purchased them he went out to the stable
before breakfast and the meal was kept
waiting for him. When ne returned he
told his wife that since he had gotten out
of bed he had become $500 richer. She
asked him to explain. lie replied that
on looking at his team he thought they
were worth $500 more than at the last
time he had observed them. IT was the
same team: but his mind had capital
lied them to suit himself
1t would have been interesting if Mr..
Gage had not stopped there, but had
told whether he thought the laws against
trusts ought to be enforced against men
who make illegal combinations in the
necessities of life and thus rob the con-
sumer. No harm is done when a man
thinks he is richer because in his mind
he capitalizes his horse at S400 more
than ii is worth. No law is broken il
the appreciated value and sells him ut
that higher value 1t is only when a
combine" contrary to law is formed
by which the horse market is controlled
and everybody has to buy at the over
capitalization of the combine
Mr.. Gage like all Republicans polit-
clans, takes the one-sided and capital
istic view about trusts stated by Attor-
ney General Griggs, who shirked his duty
to prosecute by saying: "rhe danger is
not so much to the community at large
as to the people who put their money
into the purchase of the srock." That
is a one-sided and wrong-sided view. If
certain trusts are guaranteed protection
in their illegal business. the men who
put their money into the purchase of
the stock get big returns from the in
vestment. but the community at
large" suffers from the extortion which
law-officers are sworn to stop by sup
pressing the trusts. The law ought TO
protect all alike. but it cannot tell
man where he shall invest his money. 1t
can and does declare trusts illegal. The
trusts exist because men who are sworn
to prosecute them are afraid, Indifferent
ignorant Of their duties and power or
belong to or are controlled directly or in
directly by the trusts. And there are
many in this last class.
Secretary Gage, Attorney General
Griggs and others of the administration
are greatly concerned for the investor
i hey see the community at large pill
LACED hy illegal concerns, not IL whit
honester than the sellers OF gold bricks,
and they give no warning and let the
law remain dead letter. The gold brick
fellow is a swindler in small way and
IL pest. The trust is a rich aud highly
respectable swindler by wholesale. The
first man is put in jail; the second man
is elected to the Senate.
There is a time coming when the peo-
pie will be heard ard will put an end to
these outlaws Of commerce.
