necessity or even a luxuryS then is tho
time for the law to step in, declare the
trust to be against public policy and
abate 1t.
The good sense Of the people, backed
by laws based upon common justice will
right this wrong. If constitutional
amendment will add any power to the
federal government, whereby it can bet
ter cope with the forces of combined
capital, let us have constitutional
amendment as soon as it cen be secured.
Valuable time, however, has already been
lost in chasing this ignis fatuus, whether
for political or other reasons it matters
not. The time has come to act.
The power that compels one railroad
corporation to share its road bed with a
rival for the benefit of the public; the
power that declared an exclusive fran
chise void because opposed to public in
terests, can deal abundantly with a COM
bination which has for it's object the
absolute control of a necessity of life.
How will these trusts be reached? By
a special proceedings in a court of law.
The existance Of monopolistic trust is
a matter of legal proof. When the facts
are established, the remedy is within the
province of adequate laws, for the enact
ment of which congress has now ample
power

AGAINST PUBLIC PnLICY

There is no wrong without remedy.
This maxim of the common law NAV
need revision to suit the changed condi-
lions of society. But as we still live
under the reign of the common law.
it ought to be if it isn't. Its
truth of falsity will be tested in deal
ing with the trust problem in con-
gress this winter. That the combina-
ton of capital for the, arbitrary forcing
up of prices is a wrong, no one denies.
That there will be an effort made to right
this wrong during the next session Of
congress seems now reasonably certain
Whether these efforts will terminate in
the enactment of a law that will meet
the exigencies of the situation is doubt
full.
A large number of politicians have alb
sorbed the idea that some new power,
to be secured by a constitutional amend
ment, must be forthcoming before these
monsters can be tackled with any show
of success.
That any well informed constitutional
lawyer believes this. necessary we very
much question. The power to. enact laws
to regulate evils that affect the general
public is inherent in the people and finds
its means of expression through congress
! and the courts.
Under the theory that the exclusive
possession of certain property by private
individuals is against public policy, the
courts seize it either for public or quasi
public use. Eminent domain, is the ex-
preston used to denote this power of the
| government over the property of indi-
! viduals. In a well written opinion Jus
tice Brewer held that exclusive fran
chises granted to street car company
were in the nature of a monopoly
against public policy-and therefore void.
1t is on this principle of eminent domain
of public policy-that the government
must deal with the trusts.
Combinations of capital, for legitimate
enterprises are lawful, in fact beneficial.
Without such combinations the vast en-
terprises which have developed this coun-
try could not have been carried to sue
cessful examinations. But when this en-
| bination has for it's prime object the

Ii is the brute instinct in human nature
that asserts itself in such matters. It

NO REMARRIAGE.

The report just made public by the
committee appointed by the last general
conference of the Episcopal church on
the subject of divorce must be regarded
as one of the most important pronounce
ments made on that subject for many
years past. The conference of 1898 show
ed in it's deliberations strong tendency
to adopt some more positive declaration
regarding the marriage of divorced per-
sons than that then agreed on. The
appointment of the committee whose re-
port is now known was looked upon at
the time as indicating a disposition to
deal with the subject in an effective
way at some future conference. It's
work has been done in such manner as
that, so far as can be anticipated at
this time, 1t will receive the full sane
ton OF the Coming conference
The tendency has been growing
stronger every day in church circles to
treat the divorce question as involving
a menace to the Christian household.
Nowhere has that tendency been more
Episcopal faith. Within the Church of
England there are many ministers who
today are unwilling to perform the sac
rament Of matrimony with reference to
two people either of whom has a, living
divorced husband or wife. If the ordi-
nance just reported is adopted by the
next conference. the divorce industry
will have received the most severe blow
that it has been subjected to. at least
within the past ten or fifteen years
The restraint which the laws of GER
tain states threw around the remarriage
! of divorced persons was made ineffec-
tive many years ago, when it became
recognized generally as the law of the
subject, that the marriage contracted
legally within the limits of one state
could not be successfully questioned
within the limits of another So that,
in states like New York, which still
maintained the prohibition against the
remarrying of the culpable party to a
| divorce, the restriction was found to be
! of no avail whatever, as the offending
party might take a Hudson river ferry
boat and remarry anywhere in New Jer-
| sey.
If some effective restraint could be
| placed on the remarriage of those
| through whose offending the original
marriage was dissolved, it would go a
| long way toward putting an end to in
discriminate divorces. Some such reg
ulation is required. The adoption of the
proposed canon by the American Epis-
copal church will do much; but if it
could be supplemented by a uniform
| enactment by the several states prohibit
ing the marriage of those through whose
offending the marriage in the first in
stance was dissolved it would at once
put an end to the immoral agency of
collision In producing unwarranted di-
vorces. In the present condition of d.
vorce regulations civil and ecclesiastical,
save alone within the Catholic church,
a positive premium is set on Illegal di-
| vorces. The social tendency of our time
has been strongly toward more liberal
| divorce regulations; but the regulations
which have resulted have simply not
only liberalized existing regulations, but

was looking steadily in another direction
than that of politics for the concrete
expression of national sentiment. Irish
literature engaged the thought Of the
younger men, while industrial develop
ment held the thought Of many elements
of society which had before concerned
themselves actively in the political move
ment Everywhere the thought was find
ing expression that the country
had had enough of politics. The change
which the elections produced on the face
of events promises to result in the re-
establishment Of the home rule agitation,
and the appearance once more in the
English parliament of band of men
singly devoted to the realization of the
chief political end of the, Irish political
sentiment.
The programme outlined at the outset
by the United Irish League will be fol-
lowed no more exclusively than was the
agrarian features of the Land League
movement. Non-intercourse with Eng
lish political parties will probably
be the chief principle of the new or
ganization in parliament, as it was in the
days of Parnell's ascendency; and the
Irish question will again hold the at
tention OF English statesmen in spite of
themselves. Whatever may be the uIti-
mate outcome of the home rule demand,
there is great deal to sustain the wis
dom Of the union which will probably
prove very effective for future political
and material greatness. The flower of
the youth of Ireland has been fleeing
from the land for the past ten years
as during the preceding forty. The re-
fusal to listen to the political demands
of the people has been attended by a
fatuous disregard of the substantial in
terests of the country and its people
With $1,000 100000 available to prosecute a
war in South Africa, there has been moth
ing todevote to the lessening Of Irish
discomfort or to the promotion of Irish
industry in any direction There is a
profound gratitude shown by English
people toward the Irish officers and sol
diers for their valor in South Africa;
but not a thought for the Irish tenant
farmer, the Irish cotter, the Irish ar
tisan or the Irish laborer in his own land,
surrounded on all sides as he is by evil
dences of national poverty and decad-
ence.

Withheld aloof beneath a cold control,

Yet in mid-life, at food-tide of success,
Lays power and honors down before her
Compelled to mighty love by love as
