Several Substantially Arkansas
Missouri and TeXas-have passed the
most stringent antitrust laws, and
gone so far that the courts have en-.
tered rulings that have very great
ly modified the strict construction OF
the law. The Arkansas law went SC
far as to forbid any rating agreements
by insurance companies and some OF
these institutions closed business in
the state, but Il government Judge has
held that such ratings could only he
prohibited by law when made within
the state, ami it is likely that the
companies will remain, simply cvadng
the spirit of the law Ivy establishing
rates in their home offices in other
states. This raises a question which
will probably go to the Supr, me Court
of the United States. The point is as
to the powers of IL state TO create such
an office as superintendent Of insur-
ance and endow it with powers to
regulate the business Of fire and life
insurance within its borders and then
cute the prescribed duties of his office
TO such acts only as the companies
may agree upon within the state it.
self. Carried out to the last ANALYSIS
the question is: Can any company or
number of companies in New York or
New Jersey agree upon a line of policy
or upon methods of transactiny bust
ness that are unlawful in Illinois and
yet the latter state be restrained from
interfering because the unlawful acts
were agreed upon outside of its own
jurisdiction? 1t would seem as if. al
though a state cannot 90 beyond its
own limits to punish a person or com
pany who violates its laws, state
should have the power to determine "a
to the qualifications of such criminal
parties to carry on their business in
such state. If the Legislature of Iii
nois declares business to be Illegal.
or the methods of conducting such
business to he wrong, it should have
the power of excluding that business
from the State. although the parties
conducting it, and who are ancnable
TO the laws of Illinois. are beyond the
jurisdiction of the State. The Judge of
the United States federal court in
Arkansas. however, decides that the
illegal rates made by these Insurance
companies outside of the State of Ar.
kansas do not subject the companies
making and using them to the pen.
alties of the antitrust law of the latter
State. This is only one of the many
intricate questions regarding laws of
this character that will have to come
before the supreme court for adjudica
ton.

Manila, June 24.-The rebels have

For series Of years the largest
number of persons who have commit
ted suicide in this country have done
SO by the agency of poisonS. The
pistol and poisons are the most com
mon means of selfmurder. but poison
ing is always in considerable excess of
shooting. This general fact gives en-
phaSis TO paper which was read At
a recent conference of the Illinois llo-
meopathic Association. by Or. Clifford
MITCHELL who discussed briefly but sir.
niticantly the alarming freVu ncy
with which carbolic acid Is used in
committing suicide. In New York
City in 1898 out of G94 cases, go re-
suited from the use of this poison: in
Brooklyn - out of 1S9; and in Clica.
go, - out of 367, while only II used
morphine. the total number OF suicides
by miscellaneous p)isons being 80.
In the three cities named, and in 9th.
ers not included, the average of sui
cides by the use of this acid was about
so per cent. In view of such statistics
as these, DR.. Mitchell is justified in
deploring the ease with which Carholic
acid can be procured. 1t will never be
possible to suppress sclf-murdcr, but
the authorities should make an effort
to render it as difficult as lSssible by
restricting the sale OF this poison. as is
done in the case of other poisons.
which are no more fatal while less
painful than this burning acid.
