VIII Test Trust Laws in the United
States Court.

States Court.
Birmingham, Ala. March ia case of
more than ordinary importance was filed
to-day in the United States Court in this
city. An action was brought by the city
of Atlanta against the Admission Pipe and
Foundry Company of Admission, Ala, and
the Howard Harrison Pipe Works of Bes-
semer. Ala, to recover $4,000 damages
for extortion alleged to have been enforc-
ed through the workings of a crust of
which the defendant companies are alleg-
ed to have been members. 1t sets out
that in 1895 the complainant purchased
certain cast iron pipes. and that through

The election of new Parliament in Grea

The election of new Parliament in Great
Britain is quick procedure compared with
our long congressional campaigns. The
dissolution of the present Parliament will
take place on the 18th inst. and the cleo
tons will begin Oct.s1 and end Oct 10.
They do not. as in this country, all occur
on the same day. So short a campaign
does not afford much time for electioneer-
ing, but the system suits the British peo-
pie, and no doubt it has it's advantages.
Under the British Constitution a Parliament
may last seven years, but as a matter of
fact they average about the same as our
presidential term. In the last twenty years
we have had five presidential terms, and
during the same period England has had
five parliamentary elections. All the indi-
cations point to the easy success of the
Conservatives in the coming election. but
with somewhat reduced majority. Their
present majority In the House of Com
mons is about 40. Immediately after the
last election, in 1895, it was Isl. but this has
been somewhat reduced since by special
elections.

TROUBLE WITH HISTORIES.

The ex-Confederates who complain that
not properly represent the Southern side of
the civil war, and Union veterans who
grumble because histories used in Northern
schools do not sufficiently emphasize the
justice of the Union cause are not the only
people with troubles of this sort. English
papers declare that French youth has long
been nurtured on a history which teaches
bitter race hatred, everything done by
the British which in any degree hurt
French susceptibilities being stigmatized as
brutal and their course in general as
reprehensible in the highest degree. The
author of the school history which has been
in use for eighteen years having died, anoth-
er writer took it up. beginning with events
OF 1896 and continuing to 1899. This included
the Fashoda affair, and the bitterness of
er than that manifested by the earlier his
torian; so bitter, indeed, that its character
could not be overlooked by government au-
thorities. and it has been withdrawn from
the schools
This incident is simply fresh ilIustra-
ton of the difficulty of writing unbiased
history. especially of contemporary pc
riod. The historian must have opinions of
his own. and what he sets down will be col
ored by those opinions in spite of himself
He may hold the correct views. but there is
always another side, and while the parti-
sans of that side live he will be accused of
misrepresentation. But if it were possible
for him to give the exact facts without
leaning to one side or another it would be
but dry chronicle, as the history of such
works as have most nearly deserved the
term unbiased has shown. Some of the
most widely read works of history. So
called, have gained their popularity be-
cause the authors have instilled into them
consciously, have so invested men and
events with a glamour that the records
have all the charm of romance-and in
some respects as little reality. The work
of certain modern historians has a family
resemblance to modern historical fiction,
probably due, to some extent, to the feeling
of the readers that they are acquiring use
full and improving information in a way
more agreeable than the old one of delving
into volumes Of heavy and unadorned fact
Inasmuch as it is the tendency of modern
educational methods to make learning as
easy possible for the child and to feed
him only on predigested intellectual pellets,
it may be that in the course of time the
school history problem will be solved by the
use, as textbooks, of a series of graded
novels. out of which vigiiant supervisors
have edited everything that could offend
the most sensitive.

The power of the West over the East in
national affairs does not appear to have
increased very rapidly during the last dec
ade. 1t is quite probable that Massa-
chusetts, with its ten cities with a popula-
ton of over $1,000. will show as large a
growth as any State in the Union. The
census of 1890 showed that Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey gained more.
proportionately, during the preceding ten
years than did Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
Ii Is not impossible that the same condition
will appear when the figures of the census
OF 1900 are given out. Indiana will hold
its place because the decade has been one
of manufacturing development-of the
growth of corporate industries TO which il
owes so much. Such States as Kansas and
Nebraska in the North and the purely
agricultural States in the South will not
show the growth OF States which have
embarked in the varied industries. AS for

faith-are the only elements to be con-
sidered. The husband. however filled with
curiosity he may be. has no rights in the
matter as against those of this third per-
son.
But all this discussion Of rights is In any
case useless and superfiuous. There is
reason to believe that it is only the excep-
tional husband and wife who quarrel over
the matter; the practice being, In most in
stances, for the recipient of ''confiden-
tiaf' letter to discuss IL freely with the
other member of the matrimonial firm,
not on the theory that the latter has
right to know, but from sheer inability to
refrain from talking about it. 1t is a very
innocent and deluded person who will set
down his private affairs in black and white
for the perusal of married friend and
rest secure in the belief that the married
friend holds them sacred. Few secrets are
sacred to those whose own interests are
noS involved. This is as true when a man
is the repository OF such condolences, or
becomes in any way acquainted with the
has the information. Both are apt to be
overcome by the human propensity to talk
over the affairs OF their neighbors with
some one. If you doubt this, recall how
often you have been permitted a glimpse
at family skeletons by your doctor, your
lawyer. or even your preacher friend.
Sometimes, it is true, the door is held open
by the doctors. the lawyers or the preach
er wife, but her husband first gave her
the key. 1t is true that professional honor
forbids this, but rules cannot always gov
ern the course even of a professional man.
The moral of this is the old one--write no
letters. Modified. 1T may read: If you must
write letters of confidential nature to a
married friend, bear in mind that you are
also writing them to the husband or wife,
as the case may be, to say nothing of other
members of the family. AS for the original
problem relating to matrimonial rights, it
is not one in which the public is concerned.
Each couple should be left to settle it be-
tween themselves.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-09-23

An Eastern paper, with space to spare in
spite of the political campaign. has started
a discussion in its columns on the ancient
problem of whether not husband has
the right to open and read his wife's let
tiers, or vice versa. One might have sup
posed that a question with so obvious an
answer had long since been settled for all
time, but apparently enough newly married
couples, to whom the problem is new. and
whose ideas as to matrimonial rights and
privileges are i'll defined are always on
hand to take up the subject as if 1t were
fresh and really important one. The
discussion in the case mentioned goes on in
the accustomed way with all the stock
arguments for and against common prop
erty in written communications. Those in
favor dwell upon the theory that man and
wife are one, and that, therefore, their
correspondence with outside persons must
lose its individual character and be open
TO both; they advance. also, the time-hon-
ored fiction that a married couple should
have secrets from each other. Advo-
Gates of a separate individuality protest
against the assumption of mutual right
in so intimate matter as personal CORE
spondence, but solely because it trespasses
on the individual liberty of the one to
whom the letters addressed. The dis
cussion. as usual. misses the real point of
the matter because it ignores the rights of
the person most concerned. namely, the
writer of the letters. 1t never seems to
dawn upon the husband and wife In their
self-sufficiency that any other rights than
their own are involved. or that the hypo-
thetical secret is first of all the posses
sion of another than themselves. and that
there is therefore complicating element to
be considered. II would be worth while
for them to remember that the author of a
confidential communication, say. to the
wife, from a friend, or even from men,
Der OF her family is not married to the
wife's husband and, IL not a stranger, is on
merely formal terms with him that would
by no reason warrant the writing of such
a letter to him direct. II the recipient OF
the communication does not respect the
secret as such, 1t is her business to con-
slider whether or not the writer might OBJ
ject to having II submitted carelessly to q
third person. The attitude and wishes OF
the writer. In fact-assuming that the let
tiers are proper epistles, written In good
