THE ALLEGED OATS CORNER.

The proceedings which are now
pending in a Chicago court directed
against a supposed corner in oats will
not appeal favorably to the average
business man. There is an atmosphere
of bad faith surrounding any appeal
to the intervention of the law by any
one occupying the attitude which the
plaintiffs in this case occupy toward
the transaction which they object to.
1t is a maxim of the law that he who
seeks equity should do equity, and SO
far as the general public are aware,
the applicants for the injunction in
this case can hardly be said to repre-
sent the equities of the transaction on
which the temporary injunction grant
ed is based.
Notwithstan-:ng all this the public
has an affirmative interest in having
the transaction involving the alleged
corner" known and investigated to the
bottom. On the prevailing knowledge
that transaction is open to the objec-
ton of forestalling, against which law
and public policy alike are very clear.
1t may well be the fact that in the
forestalling operation involved both
the plaintiff and the defendant are
equally guilty, and that the failure of
the one and the success of the other in
producing that result will fully ex-
plain the appeal that has been made to
justice. Yet if it is at all consistent
with the administration of justice in
this case it would involve a great pub
lie service could the transaction be
thoroughly probed and the judgment
of the court given on it's character and
it's effect on commerce.
We apprehend there is little in it
more than a common gamble on either
side, and that the transaction itself
is in express and dangerous violation
of the public rights and has involved
an effective restraint on the freedom
of commerce. There have been many
complaints made of the effect of such
gambling operations and some at
tempts at legislating against them.
This particular transaction will have
proven coInInenuaDle IN It's results IL IL
should operate in calling universal at
tention to e practice of gambling in
breadstuffs, which is maintained
through the produce exchanges of the
country to a recognized great extent
by individual operators
An exhaustive review of the facts in
this case by the court will go a long
way toward producing the laudable re-
suit of putting public ban on such
operations.

of the mode chosen for the termina-
ton of that war.
Leading representatives of the Afri-
cander race, like Gems. Botha, Dewet
and Delarey, have spoken, and they
have spoken with all the earnestness
and all the strict regard for moral OBJ
legation which are distinguishing char
acteristics of their race. Their advice
to their people at all times has been to
accept the consequences of the peace
that has been declared and to faith
fully carry out those of it's provisions
an exaggeration to say that history
does not hold parallel to this con-
duct. The Beers were fighting for
their national rights. They were be-
set by tremendously superior power,
and they found that it was more con-
sistent with their own devotion to lib
erty to make peace on honorable terms,
even though those terms involved a
qualified surrender of their national
liberties, than to prosecute the war to
the point where 1t could De no longer
maintained. All the bitterness of prac-
teal defeat no doubt presents itself to
the mind and the feeling of the Boer
race; yet there has not been one word
spoken nor one action taken by even
the humblest soldier in the former
Boer ranks which would tend to pre-
vent the honest and unqualified fulfill
ment on their part of the terms on
which peace was secured. They have
dealt with foe to whose national
character history has indelibly attach
ed the stigma. of perfidy. They. like
all other races whom that foe has rob-
bed of their nationality, may yet ex-
perience the fruits of that perfidy, but
as long as these fruits do not mani
fest themselves, and as long as the
Boer people are treated by their flu
ture rulers on the lines laid down in
the terms of peace, and not one hour
longer, it is entirely safe to say that
the Beers will contmue to accept the
result of the arbitrament of the war.

The project of a deepening of the

FIGHTING REORGANIZATION
OF ASPHALT COMPANIES
William C. BuIIitt Says Directors Made
Fraudulent Report.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 1.--wil-
liam G. Bullitt, one of the shareholders
of the Asphalt Company of America,
today began what promises to be a
stubborn fight against the reorganiZa-
ton of the company, as recommended
by the committee recently appointed to
investigate the affairs OF the corpora
ton. In letter sent today to John
Mack and Henry Talnall. receivers OF
the combined National Asphalt COM
pany and the Asphalt Company Of
America, Mr.. Bullitt makes various
charges, among which is one accusing
the directors of the concern of making
a fraudulent report.
He declares that in their statement
of the year 1901 they showed a surplus
of $30,019, when, as a matter of fact,
Unsteady of any such surplus, sthere
was deficit of $905,l26. He claims
also that the appointment of the men
who seek to work out the reorganiza-
ton of the combine was brought about
by the men who had run down the
company
Mr.. Bulitt stated his intention Of
applying to the court for the protec-
ton of certificate holders against the
arbitrary action of the reorganization
committee, before the holders of those
certificates have had the opportunity
to make an intelligent investigation.
