ANTI-TRusT LEGISLATION.

The decision of the Supreme Court OF
Texas the other day. that the anti
trust laws of the state were unconsti-
tutional, caused no surprise. The
United States Supreme Court had al
ready decided that all antitrust laws
which Disseminated in favor Of any
class were unconstitutional. This deci-
sion, as pointed out by the Morning
News at the time it was rendered,
practically nulliied the antitrust laws
OF a dozen or more states.
1t is rather curious that Legislatures
thought it advisable to exclude farm
ers and wage-earners from the oper-
alton of these laws. They must have
suspected that the antitrust laws
they were enacting would be declared
Unconstitutional il the question of CHER
constitutionality were brought before
the higher courts. At least the law
yers of the different Legislatures must
have had doubts about the wisdom of
discriminating in favor of one or more
classes. Why then was there discrim-
nation?
farmers and wage-earners was so great
that the men. who ought to have known
that the determinations that were be-
ing made were unconstitutional, were
afraid to express their opinions freely.
or were they overruled, after having
done their full duty in pointing out
what they believed to be defects in the
proposed legislation? 1t would be in
teresting to know at this time just
what was said in the debates in the
different Legislatures when the anti
trust bills were under discussion.
The farmers and wage earnerS were
among the most msistent of those who
were demanding antitrust legislation.
They did not consider, however, that
trusts which they might form would be
against the public welfare. Otherwise,
it is but fair to assume, they would
not have favored excepting any class
from the operation of the laws.
The entire work of framing and pass
ing antitrust laws will have to be
done over again in those states in
which these laws are defective in the
respect pointed out by the Supreme
Court-that is. if it is desired to have
such laws. In Texas there has been
a war carried on against trusts for
several years, and one of the princi-
pal men in the Standard Oil Company
was indicted in that state for doing
business within the states limits con-
trsry to the antitrust laws The Tex
ans. doubtless, now have a feeling akin
to contempt for the members of the
Legislature which enacted the anti
trust laws of the state. The state is
as open to trust now as it ever was,
and, If there are those who have been
fined for violating those laws, it is
probable that they have good claims
against the state.

New York has now a better prospect
for genuine reform as regards gam
bling and violations of the excise law
than it has had for a long time. Many
of the police patrolmen have deter
mined that they will mo longer stand
for lying reports respecting matters
on their beats, and have started in TO
arresting violators of the law without
respect to any other considerations
whatsoever. 1t is the charge that the
precinct captains have for a long time
been receiving money for protection
given to Illegal places, and that they
have forced their patrolmen to be
blind to violations of the law by pro
tected persons and places. The re-
volt Of patrolmen against the "sys-
tenn" has extended to several precincts
and seems likely to spread over the
city In that event, New York may
have something like decent and lawful
police government.

According to the New York Tribune.
one Of the staunchest Republican pa
pers in the country the ariff-protect-
ed meat trust is selling meat in Lon
don at several cents per pound" less
than II is charging in the United States.
The tariff, in other words. is operat-
ing to give London cheaper meat from
America than the American people
themselves are able to enjoy. And it
is predicted that meat is going still
higher in this country. on account of
prospective advance in the price of
ice. The winter just past was one of
the longest of sustained cold for many
years. and nothing was so plentiful as
Ice; yet IL is being claimed that there
Il a scarcity of ice and that the price
must go up. The sum and substance
OF 1t all is, of course, that the trusts
have got the people by the throat and
purpose to choke the last cent possi-
bic out of them. Do the people like
the choking process? The Republic
can party is the creator, patron and
protector of trusts.

The passage of the bill Ito promote

gress is the elimination of a fight that
has been going on for a number of
years. The effect of the new law will
be to put the cutter service on some

army and the navy-a simple act of
justice to brave men that ought to
have been accomplished long ago.
There is no reason for doubling that
the Conference Committee will soon
settle all differences between the House
and Senate on the matter. and that

The transatlantic steamship compa-
MES have turned a neat trick on the
American tourists now in Europe, and
number of them are there. The COM
panies have advanced the minimum
price of saloon passage from $50 to SIS,
to take effect May l, two months ear
lier than the usual advance to summer
rates. The minimum for frst-class
passage will be $50. The tourists had
thought they would be able to get back
home for the same price that it cost
them to go across, but the companies
formed an agreement and raised the
rates. And among these are the ships
that are appealing to the United States
government for a bounty They grind
the passengers and hope to milk the

Preparations are complete for the

which takes place this evening in ST
Aloysius hall on Meadow street, New
Haven. Comstock, who is known in
lis native state Of Michigan as the

Dwysr four times within an hour or
forfeit 500. If he succeeds in throw
ing DWyer that humber of times in
that specified time he will win 500 of
Dryers money Comstock has been
in New Haven but two weeks. In
that time he has made a host of
friends, and he will have large crowd
of supporters at the ringside this
evening. He is a giant in build and
understands the wrestling game from
start to finish. His opponent is a
very worthy one, and Dwyer has q
wide reputation as a worker on the
mat. He feels confident of his ability
to prevent Comstock throwing him
four times in the hour; and under
these conditions the match will be
without a parallel N New Haven. AS

the foreigner in hfteen minutes, but
Olsen, who was careless, turned his
head toward the audience and was
thrown. Notwithstanding this his
showing was noteworthy and the spec
tators were treated to an interesting
exhibition. Olsen is a compactly built
young fellow and did not resort to

OF this kind. Piening forced Olsen to

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT RE-
TAIIATES IN TARIFF
Finds Many ImportatiOns From Ten
ton Nation That Have Other
Substances Than BOracic
Acid in Them.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-While no
policy has been defined as to the course
this government will pursue in meeting
ths new exclusion law of the Germans, all
the measures that appear to be prac~
ticable probably will be adopted. The
matter so far is only in the preliminary
stage, but todayit progressed so far that
facts and figures bearing on the trade
and the articles Of import from Germany
which may be available for imposition Of
similar restrictions are now ready for
submission TO the president and his ad-
Yisers.
The department. of agriculture has been
gathering these facts and a list o. articles
found to be treated with borax or other
preservatives against which has been
laid the charge that they are injurious
has been completed and the question Of
policy will be given serious consideration
very shortly. The articles that first will
be considered along this line are sausages,
wines, beers and delicatessen. A large
per cent of these among other things have
been found to contain preservatives such
as might cause them to be barred on
the same theory as that adopted by The
Germans.
The United States has been excluding
for some time articles containing salicylic
acid and another acid, clearly proved to
be injurious, but the enforcement of these
conclusions undoubtedly will be made
even more rigorous The German view of
the Righteousness of borax will be &C
cepted and used for meeting their exclu-
sions and other regulations in all proba-
7biity will be adopted barring stuffs treat
ed with other preservatives.
Whatever restrictions. ON articles are
decided upon, it is likely that Germany
will be not specifically referred to, though
the articles selected will be such as affect
mostly the imports from Germany.

Speaking of the handwriting testimony,
Patrick said that the signatures to the
four disputed checks varied only in the

said that only an expert could detect that
difference. Concerning other testimony
the convicted man said:

otherwise. 1 practically selected the

witness, every one connected with me,
who could be bribed, cajoled, or Unfit

not one action on his part that he regret
ted, not one thing that he would not do
over again. Asked if he would go on
the stand in the event of a new trial, Pat
rick said he was in his lawyers hands,
and would do whatever they directed.
District Attorney Jerome was asked
what he intended to do with Charles F.
Jones, who was Rice's clerk and attend
ant, and who testified that ne killed Rice
al Patrick's request.
Mr.. Jerome replied:
1T is frequently necessary to allow
men manfestly guilty to go free. in this
case we never could have got a convic-
ton without Jones testimony, and in
such cases it is often well to grant the
witness immunity. I cannot say defln-
itely Just what this Office will do, but as
I said Jones testimony convicted Pat
rick. and it might be very >inexpedient
to prosecute him. In some cases, unless
there was just such testimony as the
valet gave, we could not bring to justice
the really guilty persons"
