Mulcting the Trusts.

BY vote of 10l TO the house of rep
resentatives of Texas has passed a bill
providing that "if any person. persons,
company, partnership, association,
corporation or agent engaged in the
manufacture or sale of any article of
commerce or consumption produced,
manufactured or mined in this state
or elsewhere shall, with the intent or
purpose of driving out competition or
for the purpose of financially injurlng
competition, sell within the state at
less than cost of manufacture or pro-
duction, or sell or give away within
this state their products for the pur-
pose of driving out competition or
financially injuring competitors en-

conspratorG the right of suit to en-
force the collection OF accounts.
Originating in Missouri. this mu;ct
principle in the war against monopoly
is evidently destined to go the rounds
until superseded by something pre-
sumably more effective. a strict con-
struction of the Texas act would sus-
pend all business in that common-
wealth, since whenever there is a sale
of goods by one dealer there is the
possibility Of its inuring to the fnan-
cial injury of his competitor. The
act. therefore, is valuable only so far
as it can be intelligently applied and

The Trouble at Havana.

Although there have been qualified
official denials OF friction between Cen
erals Brooke and Wood growing out
of their work in Cuba ii is clearly
evident that friction has existed and
still exists. Only the other day the
cable told us how General Brooke was
annoyed to learn that Wood at San
tiago had issued on his own initiative
decree covering that province and
aiming to legalize civil marriages; and
how Brooke was going to notify Wood
that such matters had first to receive
the approval of himself and be pro-
mulgated in general orders applicable
To the entire island; and clashes Of
this character have occurred frequent
ly. They are inevitable under the con-
ditions.
Letters from Observant Americans
who have been in Cuba, long enough
to get at the bottom of things supply
the explanation. Brooke is Just as
conscientious as Wood and just as
anxious To make IA success of Ameri-
,an Intervention. But unlike Wood,
who has to all intents and purposes
been all his life civilian, Brooke is
an iusrained soldier. habituated to mill
italN routine, accustomed to red tape,
an instructive martinez in matters
of form and ceremony and lack
ing in those diplomatic and read
lily adaptive qualities which develop
best in civil life With Wood, the
uppermost thought is how to sup
ply the needs of Cuba; how to do as
quickly as possible what common sense
teaches has to be done there. All
minor considerations and particularly
mere matters Of formality between in
dividual Americans, he subordinates to
the big duty confronting him OF re-
constructing and developing cuba.
Hence when there is a thing to do in
Santiago province ne does it and does
it well; and if Brooke were more of a
civilian, that is to say. If ne had more
horse sense and less military self
consciousness, he would gladly let
Wood alone in little details so long as
Wood continued to show up strongly
with great results.

in paying the greater share of his at
tention to questions of military dis
cipline or precedence; whereas, now
that actual fighting is over. the en-
phasis clearly should be placed on the
civil aspects Of the problem. Wood
had not been in command of Santiago
province three months when ne issued
a general order doing away with the
underlying evils of Spanish civil ad.
ministration. That order declared the
right of the people peaceably to assem-
BILE for their common good and to apply
TO those in power, by petition or re-
monstrance, for redress of grievances

worship and liberty OF conscience; sait

be exempt after acquittal from a sec
ond trial for one offence; proclaimed
the security Of the people in their

short, substituted the broad founda-
tions of Anglo-Saxon civilization Tor
the medieval narrowness and 0ppres-
sion of Spanish rule. 1t is sufficiently
illustrative of the character and meth
DDS Of General Brooke to say that al
though this revolutionary programme
had by Jan. /, the date of Brooke's
entrance, become fully and success
fully established in Santiago province,
giving immense popularity and effec-
tiveness to General Woods admins

barbarities of the Spanish code still
prevail and American military admin
istration is yet using the discredited
instruments, 10 TeSCue NuD" AA"i'

this sun, if not more, for the repairs
needed on carriages and wagons. the
extra strain on draught horses and the
Increased number of teams and drivers
required to transport goods. IT we
count in the amount Of business when
these pot holy streets prevent from
coming to che city, the new indus
tries which they discourage and the
damage which they intlict upon the
city's reputation, not 30 speak OF the
damage suits in which the city is
bound sooner or later to appear as
defendant, it is probable that this estl-
mate could fairly be multiplied by two.

How to Reward Dewey.

4 solution has been proposed by the
New York Times of the problem in
volved in Admiral Dewey's home-com-
ing, and it is a good one. The Times,
in common with other papers, points
out the physical impossibility of the
acceptance by Dewey OF the thousands
of invitations pouring in upon him and
calls attention to the fact that his
acceptance of only a few of the more
representative invitations would still
leave many millions of fellow coun-
trymen in the lurch in their anxiety to
greet him and do conspicuous honor to
his epoch marking achievements.
Consequently our New York contem-
porary proposes to collect fund for
the admirals benefit through the med
ium of United States periodicals.. Pro-
Vided that one-fourth of the papers
should pledge themselves, relying on
readers subscriptions, to the sum OF
$500 each, says The Times, the aggre-
gate would amount to $250,000. Half
of this, it is proposed, should be de-
voted to building a house for the ad-
miral where he might prefer, and the
other half to his personal use. Con-
gress, says The Times, according to
precedents, has done all that it can do,
but there is a persistent and prevail
ing feeling that we ought to do more;
that the American nation in some un-
official and spontaneous way should
recognize the services of Dewey as the
British nation officially recognized the
services of wellington, when it pre-
sented him the estate of Strathtields-
say, at the cost 81 1,3l5.0O0.
A popular offering of only five cents
by each American voter would pro-
vide for Admiral Dewey a fund with
which to purchase, furnish and endow
a handsome residence at the national
capital, befitting the highest officer in
the American navy and the hero
Of the most remarkable naval cam
paign in the history of warfare on
the sea. Its advantages to Dewey
would be obvious; but it would also
serve as a continual incentive to other
officers of the navy, who are clearly
destined to play an increasing part
in the national activities of the future.
They would see in it more than a
tribute to one particular man. 1t
would be to them vote of popular
confidence in the American navy as
an institution and a public testimonial
| that republics are not necessarily un-
grateful. A home for Dewey by all
| means; it is vastly more sensible than
| feeding him to death at unhealthful
| banquets.
