Mission Rock Case Decided Against
the Government.

Washington, April 1s.-The United
States suSrene court today decided the
contention between the United States
and private parties as to the ownership
Of the submerged and reclaimed land in
san Francisco which includes Mission.
ROCK, against the government. The
claimant in the case opposing the gov
eminent was the Mission Rock company
which asserted title to the land through
grant from California The natiOna,
government contested the claim on the
ground that the land had been reserved
by order of the president for naval pur.
poses. The court held. however. that
there was no intention to reserve more
land than could be utilized. It was fur
ther held that it had been the uniform
polcy of the state of California to dis
pose Of its title and that as there had
been no departure from the rule in this
case there was no reason for question
ing the validity of the Mission Rock

There 81 PIentv of Law.

Minnea9 polls Tribune:
The decision of the United States
court of appeals in the Northern Secu~
rites case iustifies the view of the presi-
dent and attorney general that there Is
law a-0lenty to deal with trusts. This
case was expedited by the law of last
winter but the decision rests wholly
on the antitrust law of 1880. The decl
sion practically dissolves the Securities
company. by forbidding it to exercise
any of the powers of an owner of stock
Ihese powers can be restored to the
STOCK only by its return to the original
owners, or to their assigns by the ordi-
nary operations Of purchase and sale OF
Securities stock.
If the decision should be upheld by
the supreme court Northern Securities
stock will disappear from the market
and Great Northern and Northern Pa
clf1c stock viii reappeas. This viii re-
quire some bookkeeping and clerical
work, like that which went on about
MOrgan's office when the reverse trans
formation was made: but it will not af-
feet the fundamental fact of owner
ship one whit The controlling interest
of the two roads viii be owned by the
same individuals: only they will not be
permitted to associate themselves in
such a way as to make it difficult for
any one to buy either control away
from them. But for this we imagine
that Mr.. Hill and his friends would
care little for the decision against them.
The decision lays down one sound
principle of law, which we suppose no
higher court will question. That is that
no state can charter a company to vio-
late the law of another state or of the
United States. In this respect, it has
a bearing on our state case. though that
suit Will have no purpose. If the prin-
cipal defendants should disappear by
affirmation of this decision by the SUI
prenne court There is even closer con-
cific case The Union Pacific bought
control of the Southern Pacific as a
corporation. If this decision should be
sustained Mr.. Keene will have a bet
ter basis for his next raid After all.
the quiet methods of the big eastern
mergers are the best.

A Great Blow to Monopolists,

Cleveland Leader:
No mistake viii be made in accepting
as final the decision rendered in the
United States circuit court of appeals,
at st. Paul yesterday in the Immensely
important Northern Securities case.
Beyond question it will be appealed to
the supreme court. The great financial
interests involved would be CONTAINED
to take that course if they had not the
least hope of gaining a favorable de-
cision, because time is needed to pre-
pare Wall street for the conditions
which must be faced with the most
ingenious plan ever devised for further
ing railroad monopoly outlawed by the
federal courts. But the appeal can have
no effect upon the ultimate result.
If there had been any division among
the four learned judges before whom
the case was tried it would be different,
but they agreed in all respects, and it
is impossible to imagine that their de-
cision viii be overturned by the supreme
court. when it rests on fundamental
principles of which the latter tribunal
has been a Jealous defender.
Clearly the device of virtually COM
bining railroads which are natural com
petitors by the creation of a corpora
ton to buy and hold majority of the
stock Of the companies affected. must
be given up. That means much to men
like j. PierpOnt Morgan. 1t neeessitates
the use of other means for bringing
such companies into harmony and keep
ing them in alliance beyond risk of
change of policy
If the scheme which has been con-
demned by the United States circuit
court could have escaped judicial an
tagonism it would have been necessary
only to put half of the stock of natur-
ally competing companies in the hands
of officials of the securities company,
and few capitalists. acting together.
would have been entirely masters of
the situation if they owned half of the
stock of the holding company, just as
they might have been otherwise. if they
owned half the stock of the corpora
tons it controlled. The device of a Sc
curities company cut down by at least
so per cent the investment required 10
create big monoDolies, not only in the
railroad world. but in whatever line Of
business MIGHT be dealt with in the

All this is different now. A remark

has been condemned on the broad
ground that it tended to prevent COM
petition and restrain trade. That prin-

OF the multitudes of people
around us very few are really
in good health. Most of them
are victims to a greater or less
extent of some disease. For a
time nature holds her own. Of
ten with youth and ambition to
help her; then the overtaxed or

This may happen suddenly or
slowly, but the result is the
same. The number of people
who are thus afflicted and hand
icapped is far beyond computa-
ton or estimate. In perhaps a
majority of these cases the all
ment arises from bad digestion,
and is thereafter complicated
with some form of dyspepsia.
