James Ahern'S manufacturing estab-

The workmen going to the sheds this
morning first noticed that the window
panes in the Office on the front side of
the building had been broken. AS
near as Mr.. Ahern could tell this
morning nothing had been stolen from
the shop. The reason for this good
fortune was doubtless that large St.
Bernard dog sleeps in the Office at
night. This morning the dog was
found at home, SO it is evident that
the burglar got the window up, after
breaking three panes of glass, and lust
as he was about to enter the dog
jumped for him following him out of
the window. Then the window went
down and the dog was locked out.

the full frontage with a depth OF 100
feet, and is designed for the storage OF

punishment by fine or imprisonment
1t invests the several circuit courts OF
the United States with Jurisdiction to
prevent and restrain violations of the
act and makes it the duty of the sew
eral U. S. district attorneys
under the direction of the attorney
general to institute proceedings in
equity to prevent unlawful combina.
tions of capital.
The law further gives those who
shall be injured In business or proper
ty by any other person or corporation
by reason of anything forbidden or de-
clared to be unlawful by the act, the
power to sue therefor in any circuit
court in the United States without re-
spect to the amount in controversy,
aud to recover three fold the damages
by them sustained and the costs of the
suit. Including reasonable attorney
fees. 1t will be perceived that the act
is aimed at every kind of com bination
in the nature of trust or monopoly
in restraint of interstate or internatio-
nal commerce.
THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY.
The prosecution by the United States
of offenses undo the act of 1890 has been
frequently resOrted to in the federal
courts, and notable efforts in the re-
straint of interstate commerce, such
as the traus-Missouri Freight sssocia-
ton, and the Joint Traffic association,
have been successfully opposed and
suppressed.
President Cleveland in his annual
message of Dec, Z. 1896, more than six
years subsequent to the enactment of
this law, after stating the evils of these
trust com binations, says, Though
congress has attempted to deal with
this matter by legislation, the
laws passed for that purpose thus far
have proved ineffective, not because of
any lack of disposition or attempt to
enforce them, but simply because the
laws themselves as interpreted by the
courts, do not reach the difficulty. If
the insuficiencies of existing laws can
be remedied by further legislation,
it should be done. The fact must be
recognized, however, that all federal
legislation on this subject may fall
short of its purpose because of inherent
obstacles, and also because of the COM
pick nature of our governmental sys-
tenn which, while making the fedora
supreme within it's phere, has
limited that sphere by bounds
which cannot be transgressed.
STATE ACTION NEEDED
1.-THE decisions of our courts have
rendered 1t doubtful whether the evils
of trusts and monopolies can be ade-
quately treated through federal action,
unless they seek directly and purposely
to include 10 their objects transporta-
ton or Intercourse between states or
between the United States and foreign
SIT does not follow, however, that
this is the limit of the remedy that
may be applied. Even though it may
be found that federal authority is not
broad, enough to fully remove the cause
there can be no doubt of the power of
the several states to act effectively in
the premises, and there should be no
reason to doubt their willingness to
judiciously exercise such power"
The state investigation to which
President Cleveland looked for relief
from the evils of the trusts HIS failed
