where" could transact operations of any
kind in Arkansas.
But, says the court. this intention to
exclude corporation or partnership or
Individual from doing business in Arkansas
because a party to trust operations some-
where else, and not affecting Arkansas.
must be specifically declared IN the Law.
1t is SO unusual, the court says, for legls-
lature to intend that its acts shall have
such a worldwide effect that courts are
never justified in putting such construc-
lion upon them IL their language admits
Of any other reasonable Interpretation
Hence II was held that the ANTITRUST law
was not intended by the legislature to
have an extra territorial jurisdiction
and the statute was imperative as to all
agreements by are insurance companies
except such as affected rates 10 Arkansas
The question will arise again in Texts
when test case is made under our re-
Gently enacted statute. 1t is just posi-
ble that the Texas statute contains that
express intention" as to extra territorial
effect which the Artpnsas court says is
wanting in the Arkansas act II so the
Texas courts, even taking the Arkansas
decision as a guide. may find no difficulty
in upholdlng our statute. Section IL of
the Texas law has this to say: 1.-THE sale,
delivery or disposition OF any OF tho ar
ticles commodities. or things, herein
before mentioned, by any Individual, COM
pany or corporation transacting business
contrary TO the provisions of this act.
within this State or elsewhere, is hereby
declared to be unlawful and contrary to
public policy" etc.
II will be seen. therefore. that the Ar
kansas decision not only does not ques-
ton tho consttutionality OF the Arkan-
sas law, but does not appear to estab-
lish a precedent Of any kind against our
TcSas statute The whole matter, in n
word, Is ur again to the Texas courts
with the chances rather in favor of the
validity Of the law

HOUSTON. MONDAY, MAY 20, 1891
ouR MISGUIDED WARDS.

In one sense, and because Of their ig-
norance. the great mass of the Cuban peo-
pie are really to be ptied To use COM
mon but extremely applicable expression
they appear to have Jumped out Of the
frying pan into The fire." After the Span
ish tyranny they are now threatened with
regime OF oppression by their own am
bilious leaders and military adventurers.
We need to remember in discussing
these people that they are impulsiye and
impressionabie and that for centuries they
have been so little accustomed to anything
Ike kindness or disinterested treatment
from strangers, or the governmental au-
thority. that they are naturally suspicious.
They are too ignorant TO appreciate the
fact that they never could have won their
freedom from spain by their own uu-
aided efforts and they have, through This
same ignorance, been largely taught 10 re-
gard the Americans not as friendly lber-
ators but rather as designing invaders.
They have in their simplicity been i'm
pressed with the idea that their arms
may be needed 10 expel another foe. and
are influenced by their generals against
their best interests Just at this time,
The mass OF the people in their present
folly are not so much to be criticised as
sympathized with The more intelligent
generals" however, are properly subject
10 denunoiation for misleading their poor
followers and that. too, from purely selfish
and ambitious motives. The action of
the officers means as clearly as it means
anything that II Cuba is turned over to its
own people soon, petty military despot-
ism will be erected instead of free ana
untrammeIed civil governmeat--that the
history Of the little Central American
States will be at once repeated In Cuba.
It does indeed look at times as II the
Spanish character, either in It's original
or mixed form. were incapable of
learning anything new, or appreciate
ing any government other than a
dictatorship. 1t Is for these reas-
ons that Anglo-saxon ideas may be ex-
pected to be slow OF acceptance in our new
possessions aud that It Will require the
greatest degree OF tact and patience OF
which we are capable to teach these ex-
subjects Of Spain the beauties and practi-
cal operations Of representative republican
government.
The Americans will naturally feel dis
appointed that their generous efforts TO
aid the really needy Cubans and put them
on the road to Industrial prosperity and
freedom. have been so suspiclously, not
to say ungrateiully and scurvily received
but we should not yet become impatient
nor disgustei with the work before
US. We have saved the Cubans from
Spain now It is our duty to save them
from themselves. 1t may take some little
time but tact, justice and perseverance
viii accomplish the task.

Eleven-year-old Ethel Moore, q daugh-

from drowning yesterday. The child was
rescued from what would have been a
watery grave by the timely arrival OF
John Driseoll, a 'longshoreman, who
plunged headlong into the river Dris-

Driscoll and the little girl were found
struggling in the water. A long rope,
tied with a loop on the end, was lowered
and Driscoll placed it about his waist.
Holding the unconscious form of the lit

the pier by his brother workmen. Ethel
was soon revived.

PRISONERS PARD0NED
Board Grants Releases an
Innocent Man and Some
Criminals.


Especial to The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, July q. 1s9s.-An all day
session OF the Board Of Pardons was held
in the Governors Office yesterday, as a
result Of which twenty-six prisoners were
given their liberty. The Board considered
more than one hundred cases and stiIl
has q big batch to pass upon. OF those
liberated yesterday a score were .paroled,
five were pardoned and in one case a fine
was RENTED.
With the exception Of Chancellor Nc
Gill, who is on 3 European trip, all the
members Of the ~pardoning board we're
present.
One Of the most interesting cases was
that Of Frank James. the young son of
Lawyer James, of Freeland, Luzerne
County, Pennsylvania, who was paroled
after serving four years in the State
Prison. Young James, whp is little more
than of age, ran away from home a few
years ago and landed in Jersey City where
he took I'D with John Breslin, and to-
gether they started off on Il tramp. They
fell in with Charles Ratcheau and all par
took literally of some bad Jersey light
ming. A light followed, as the result of
which Ratcheau called to some passersby
that he had been robbed, and James and
Breslin wereplaced d arrest. Ratcheau
claimed that a gold watch and some
money had been taken from him in the
scrimmage. Despite the fact that only
fifty-six cents was found on James, he
was given seven and a half years in State
Prison.
Among the influences at work for
James release were Governor Stone, At
torney General Elkins and United states
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania.
A full pardon was. granted to John
Grabher, the Essex County wood en-
graver, who in 1896 was sentenced to IF
teen years In State Prison on the cflargeof
criminally ~assaulting his fifteen year old
daughter. The story Is one of the sad
dest on record. Grabher, an innocent
man, has been behind prison bars for
more than three years as the result of
his wife forcing their daughter to swear
away his liberty that she might take up
her abode with a younger man. The par
don was the result of a confession made
by the girl that she had falsely sworn her
fathers liberty away
Others pardoned wereAJohn c. Clarke,
sentenced to two years from Mercer
County for stealing a mule n a wagon;
Michael Kinsella. one year for registering
in wrong polling precinct; William
Funck, sentenced to two years from Cam
den County in September, 1898. for assault
and battery; Richard Reid Apologize, sem
fenced from Essex County in December,
1893, to one year for forgery; Antonio Pull
elmo, sentenced in Union County in May,
to ninety days for violating the fish and
game laws: Rocco Rossonran, sentenced
from Essex County in February to one
year for assault and battery.
Among those paroled were:-Clarence
Hogan, sentenced from Cumberland Coun-
ty, iii May, 1895, to ten years for break
ing, entering and larceny; John A.. Nick
erson, sentenced to seven years from
Salem County, May. 1896, for conspiracy;
Charles Prince. sentenced from Union
County in February, 1893, for second de-
gree murder
