The Merger Case.

Chas. A. Edwards, Washington or
respondent gives the following view.
OF the Northern Securities case.
The republican press and partisans
are making agreat ado over the recent
decision Of the United States Circuit
Court on the Northern securities mer-
ger case. which dissolved that great
railroad combine and gave some vital
ity and fierce to the Sherman anti
trust law. They are pointing to this
decision asa great triumph Of this
administration, and claim that the
party Is making good all its promises
TO light the trusts of the country. 1t
would be interesting for some OF these
republican claquers to point out to an
expectant people the tangible gain to
the public of this decision. In the
final test the Supreme Court may re-
verse the decision of the lower court,
but even In case it affirms it, where is
the benefit to the people who travel
over the roads In question or use them
fer the transported ion OF their goods?
The intention of the government in
instituting this suit was to abolish a
merger Of competing lines Of railroads
and thus prevent rates being raised
beyond reasonable figure, Under
the terms Of the decision the stock Of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Burlington railroads will be re
turned by the merger to their origina
owners, and this will still leave the
roads In the control of Mr.. ELL ant
Mr.. Morgan and their friends, and i,
ascertain that they will agree to main
tain the present rates, merger or nc
merger. The truth is that the
combine took place several years age
when Mr.. Hill and his friends obtain.
ed control Of the stock Of the North.
ern Pacific and the merger company
was organized simply to cinch the
combine and preventing anyone from
bursting it by q bold move In Wall
Street In getting hold Of majority
Of stock many one Of the roads. The
entire interest Of the people Of the
states through which these roads rnr
lies In the reasonableness Of passenger
and freight rates, and is not affected
by the merger decision. Itstill rest!
