Antitrust Law Is Futile.

The story that the Department OF
Justice is investigating certain alleged
violations of the antitrust law, says
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, is both true and unimport-
ant. Such investigations have been
made from time to time ever since the
Sherman law was placed on the statute
books. Various attorneys general have
attempted prosecutions of trusts under
that law, but have been forced to
abandon the attempt on account of the
Inherent weakness Of the act. Various
decisions Of the courts have blocked
all progress toward the enforcement Of
Its provisions. 1t is admitted by all
lawyers who have looked into the mat
ter that the Sherman law is virtually a
lead letter and that II is useless to at
tempt prosecutions.
What is now being done by the Off
.ials OF the Department Of Justice is
lust what they have been doing for
several years: when complaints are
filed of alleged violations of the law
they look into the facts. Sometimes
they bring suits. only to be ruled out
of court under decisions already rem
dered. Usually an investigation is an
end Of the chapter and the effort sim
mers down to a few dusty papers re-
posing in a Department of Justice pig
eonhole. There is not n trust in the
United States that fears prosecution
under the Sherman law.

TREASURER CHIPLEY PAYS
SEVENTH ASSEMBLY WARRANTS

THE only proper disposition of this
fund N in the payment of warrants
drawn upon 1t for the fiscal year 1889;
that 1t cannot be used for any other
purpose; that no part or balance there
of can be transferred to any other
fund. Or, as 1t has been better ex-
pressed by our own court, having pro-
vided revenue for a specific purpose,
in obedience to the constitutional man
date, 1t is manifest that the fund can
not be diverted to other objects until
the primary purpose Of its creation is
satisfied In re Appropriations 13
Colo. 316 C328).
"Tbe primary purpose, then, is to
pay the valid warrants drawn on the
revenues Of the year 1889, but, at the
same time, having In view the order

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

A cablegram has been received at the
State Department from Mr.. Rockhill,
saying that he will leave Pekin for
home In August, by which time it is
hoped Mr.. Conger will have nearly
reached his destination.
Mr.. vasquez, the San DOMINICAN
charge, acting for his government, and
Acting Secretary Hill for the United
States government, have signed pro-
tocol extending for one year from date
the pending reciprocity treaty between
the United States and DOMINICAN re-
public.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that Washington advices indicate
that the question of currency in the
Philippines will soon come up for Sc
rious consideration. There was strong
pressure last autumn for executive ac-
ton which would relieve the actual
scarcity Of silver coins in the islands.
This scarcity was caused by the heavy
demand for currency in China while
the forces of the powers were at their
maximum there. but 1t seems to have
cured itself to some extent. In view
Of the partial amelioration of these
conditions, II is probable that Secre-
tary Root will confine his action to the
study Of the situation with the view
Of recommending to Congress a COM
prehensive plan for n permanent cur
rency system in the Philippines. The
plan which Secretary Root and Sec
retary Gage discussed last autumn,
and which had the cordial indorse-
ment Of the secretary of the treasury,
was the adoption Of a fixed rate Of
exchange between the American gold
dollar and the Mexican silver dollar,
which have been the standard coin in
the Philippines.

News this

Denver, June 20.-The News this
morning says:
1T transpired yesterday that since
State Treasurer Chipley has been in
Office he has paid out OF the state
funds $4,000 of the unpaid and dis.
credited warrants issued by the IA.
nous, or ms 1t has been better named,
the Infamous Seventh General As
semb'y. For twelve years state treas
urers have declined to pay these war
rants. For twelve years the holders
of them have failed to bring suit to en-
force their payment. Their validity
was assailed shortly after they were
issued and because they were assailed
and of the doubt as to their legality,
they have not been paid until now.
Treasurer Chipley claims TO have
paid them upon the strength Of the
opinion Of Attorney General Post. The
attorney general refers in his opinion
to a personal opinion given by Mr.. z.
+. Richardson of the firm of Patter-
son, Richardson & Hawkins, and an
opinion by the firm of Thomas, Bryant
& Lee, both Of which opinions affirmed
the legality of the warrants and held
!. that they should be paid. Ex-Assist-
Z ant Attorney General Calvin Reed pre-
pared and filed a most exhaustive opin-
ion upon the subject-this was also re-
ferred to In General Posts opinion.
Treasurer Chipley seems to be backed
up by ample legal authority for the
extraordinary step he has taken"
The following is the full text Of the
attorney generals opinion upon which
State Treasurer Chipley acted:
