The declination of ex-Secretary
Lamont and Chief Justice Parker
to accept the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor of New York this
fall is likely to have the effect OF
bringing ex- Governor Hill forward.
There is much to be said in favor
of this program. It is a great thing
for party to put its strongest man
in the field, and Mr. Hill, as the
undisputed leader of the party, may
be regarded as it's strongest possible
candidate, There can be no doubt
that he would make an aggressive
campaign from start to finish.
Then he would have everything
to gain and little or nothing to lose
as the candidate. MIR. Hill is no
weaker to-day by reason of his over
whelming defeat for governor in
1894. Defeat this year would not
retire him from the political field
He would still be leader. On the
other hand, victory would greatly
strengthen his power in the State
and e-establish his prestige in Ma
tional politics. But of course. Hill
will not want to head forlorn hope.
he would want, at least, a reason
able chance of victory. These are
questions for Mr.. Hill to derter-

The Two Pathways.
fRY ERNEST pEHHEY.l

Say friend. don't you know
There are two ways for you TO go.
AS the tide of time is flowing;
In which one are you going?
First. there is the downward way,
with many travelling In IL to-day:
For there are stationed along that road
Evils to draw you 20 the downward abode.
II a true Christian You are not,
The downward pathway is your lot.
You've been led by sinful thins,
And carried on by times swift wings.
Down the stream your boat is sailing,
But, 10, at the judgment there'1l be wailing
Alasi poor sinner, It Will be too late;
Then for your sins you must compensate
The next one is the upward way,
The one that leads to eternal day.
It is surely very narrow and straight,
And but few shall enter it's holy gate.
This one is called the path oflife,
Leading away from sin and strife
70 realm beyond the starry dome,
Which is known to us As the Christian
home.
Now. do the upward pathway take.
j, l'or ,ou have your own ehoice1o make.
So don't study and tarry and walt;
II You do, then 1t may be too late.
And ind you cruelty sowingt the tares.
To live better you certainly must try,
Ifyou want to live beyond the sky.

Criminal Law Against Trusts.

it has been announced from the
Presidents summer quarters on
Staten Island, has been selected tc
prepare an antitrust bill for pre-
sentation to the next Congress as
an administration measure.
Mr.. Little6eld has already pre-
pared an antitrust bill. and SUBJ
mitted it at the late session of Con-
gress. but it met with no more
favor than the bills presented by
Democratic members, which were
not allowed to emerge from COM
mittees. AS matter of fact they
were suppressed. The trusts gave
this law to Congress.
The provisions of Mr.. Little
fields bill, slumbering in commit
tee, are interesting 1t makes it a
crime 10 organize or operate COM
bines in restraint of trade and pre-
scribes severe penalties for the
commission of these crimes. This
is the essence of the measure.
These provisions do not differ es-
sentialIy from those of the existing
Sherman law. The differences, SO
far as criminal provisions are CON-
cerned, between the two bills are
differences in detail, and not in
substance, and are comparatively
slight. The provisions other than
criminal are of minor Importance
1t is strange if the President has
authorized Mr.. Littlefield to pre-
pare bill that will meet the de-
mands of the situation that his ad-
ministration has thus far made no
attempt to execute the criminal
provisions of the existing anti
trust law, which make combina-
tions in restraint of trade crimi-
nal offense. These remain dead
letters on the law book. They i'm
pose penalties of fine and impris-
onment on offenders, and would in
troduce a new and very effective
force in handling the trust ques-
ton. The millionaire trust opera
tors would find imprisonment a
different question to face than the
injunction process, which involves
no discomfort or humiliation. It
appears to be necessary to handle
the trust magnates with kid gloves.
Yet is not their offense of a GRIM
inal characterP It is in effect a
secret conspiracy to plumber the
people by limiting the supply of a
necessity of life and increasing its
cost Workingmen have been tried
in the criminal courts and fined
and imprisoned for conspiring to
limit their product which is labor
and increasing it's price. Why
should not the great capitalists,
welding the power of consolidated
million, be subjected to like penal
ties, especially as the law decrees
that they shall beP Labor is one
of the necessities of human exist
ence. Is not meat? Is it a great
er offense to corner the one than
the other? Why should there be
one law for the poor man and an
other kind of law-at least as re-
CARDS enforcement-for the mill
ionaire. A trade union and its
methods are fully as reputable as
the methods of the beef trust
Why the Discrimination Is it in
the fact that the trust is mighty
