shoald they go out OF business be trans
ferred to their successors or assigns.
Mr.. Wakefield said that he was opposed
to the adoption OF the ordinance without
making few changes. He contended
that the track would cover three squares
and would be anything but a protection
to the people Of Manchester. He would
vote for the ordinance, however. if the
words for the exclusive use Of Wood
ward & Son" were inserted. Other mem
bers took the same view OF the matter
expressed by Mr.. Wakefield.
REFERRED TO SUBCOMMITTEE.
MIR. Woodward said that his firm had
recently bought a. lot at the end of Maury
street. in Chesterfield county, which they
would probably use for a lumber yard
some time In the future. He declared
that it would be heavy expense to his
firm to build the track.
The ordinance was referred to SUBJ
committee consisting of Messrs. Samp-
son. Reams. and Wakefield, who are to
consider it and report on it at the next

was only passed to disappear and be
"stolen." There is certainly some
thing suspicious looking about the
missing bill. The Democrats first
claimed that it would give them
chance to buy up all the negro
votes, and in this way created the
impression that the Republicans feared
the bill and wanted TO get rid of IT
The bill was in control of the legis-
lature during its session, and the leg
islature was Democratic. Il is pre-
sumed the legislature ordered the bill
into the hands Of the proper per-
sons, and these persons were Demo
Gratis. The bill was passed, and was
passed by the Democrats, who were
presumed to have turned il over to
the committee on enrollments. Be-
fore It reached the executive office, we
are asked to believe il disappeared.
II il did, those who knew whore il dis
appeared TO are doubtless Democrats.
Il has been in their control constantly,
and although the Democrats are now
insinuating that the Republicans made
away with the bill, these insinuations
are only for purpose
1t may be they have on foot another
magnanimous plan 20 show up some
deep, dark conspiracy to abduct OF
foully murder the bill, and as soon as
a 500, 600 reward fund can be raised,
will spring it on the people, and prove
to a waiting world "who stole the
election bill, " involving many of the
prominent Republicans, some OF whom
will doubtless leave the state and 70
to Indiana, from whence they may
never return. In fact, it can be con-
clusively proven that number OF Re
publicans have been in Frankfort late
ly, and il this suspicious circumstance
is not sufficient 10 convict them be-
fore any jury of reputable Democrats
then Wharton Golden and Barber
Weaver will simply have to be sent fol-
again. If it is only proven that the
bill cannot be found, and that there
has been a Republican around Frank
fort within six months previous to the
commission of the said deed, the con
spiracy will be plain, aud all the Re
publicans who have not already fed g
Indiana will then probably fee, ant
leave the state TO the Democrats. Blu
whatever fate befell the bill. it is Ger
tain the Democrats didn't steal it
They never fool with anything smalle
than national bank or batch o

ANTI. THRUST LAW VOID.

Had the Kentucky legislature that
lately adjourned passed the antitrust
law that for several days aroused con-
siderable opposition throughout the
state, the law would virtually have
been ineffective.
Says the Literary Digest: Some
of the papers are wondering what the
legislatures of the Western and SOUTH
ern states will do now, since the SUI
preme court has made waste paper OF
their radical antitrust legislation. II
was only the Illinois trust law that
was declared unconstitutional by the
court, but twelve other states, Geor-
gis, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Miss
issippi, Montana, Nebraska. North
Carolina, South Dakota, TENNESSEE,
Texas and Wisconsin, have trust laws
built on the same plan, and it is the
general opinion of the press that they,
too, receive .heir quietus in the llli-
nois decision. The fatal defect in the
Illinois law, and in the other twelve,
was the provision that the penalties
against consolidation should mot he
held to apply to livestock and agricul-
tural products in the hands Of the pro
Queer or raiser" The supreme court
decides that the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the federal constitution sbso-
lutely forbids such an exemption. No
legislature, says the court. can "di'
vide those in trade into two Glasses
and make criminals of those in one
class. ). while allowing another and ia
vored class engaged in trade to do the
same thing with impunity.' The
laws in all the states mentioned above
have provisions excepting one or more
favored Iclasses from the penalties
against consolidation.
Labor organizations have special
interest in this decision, thinks ths
Pittsburg Dispatch, for it may NEAR
THAT an antitrust law to be constiiu
: tional must bear as heavily upon labol
unions as upon organizations Of CAPT
! tai" Imagine the effect of the new
in Texas, SAYS the Providence Jour
nal, where 1.-THE people have the mes
stringent antitrust law known in thi
country, and where the tines pai'
into the state treasury by the trust
l have been "almost as profitable as TIN
q trust charters have been to New Jer

1T is not unlikely that the mex
