JUBILANCE OF THE TRUSTS.
They Know the WorthIessness of
the Legislation Directed
Against Them.

The great trust magnate, Rookie
Teller, has played a tiim-tiam game on
the president and it is remarkable
how easily the latter was imposed
upon by Mr.. John D. Rockefeller and
his pals in the senate. At least, if
President Roosevelt was not imposed
on, he must have been in league with
the fim-fiamers to fool the people.
The inside history of the kilograms
sent by Rockefeller to some nine
United States senators, peremptorily
ordering them to stop all antitrust
legislation, shows a queer condition
of affairs in the higher councils of
the republican party. When the re
publican leaders found that the dem
ocrats looked with such disdain upon
the so-called antitrust legislation
that the republican leaders and the
trust magnates had ~concocted, and
would say not Il word against it,
they feared the result of this silence
on the minds of the voters. Some
thing had to be done to make it APP
pear that the trusts were being
curbed and the job was put up that
Rockefeller should telegraph orders
to stop all antitrust legislation, and
two of the kilograms were exhibited
to the president. He made public
the fact of the kilograms having been
received and Immediately it was an
nounced by the administration press
that here was evidence of the trust
busting nature of the legislation.
The trust magnates in Wall street
are now iubilant; they know that the
legislation enacted is not only worth
less, as far as their business is o n
cerned, but that it in fact aids them
by making the present interstate
commerce law more to their liking
by repeating the criminal clause.
Such a disparity between promise
and performance will not fool the
voters many moons. Before the
meeting of the Fifty-eighth congress,
next December, the fact that the
trusts and combines are still footing
the people, with no law to restrain
the robbers, will show that the
Standard Oil trust and the beef com
bine are still the pets of the republic

says the New York World.
Since the Sherman antitrust law was
passed, in July, 1890, the federal gov
eminent has instituted &c suits under
it. Eleven of the &c have been lost out
right; two are still pending-the
Northern Securities and the beef trust
suits; and in only ten of them has the
government got a square decision in
its favor. OF these ten successful suits
brought by the federal government in
13 years four were against combina-
tions of laboring men, leaving six as
the total number of decisions scored
by the government against trusts
strictly so-called.
Moreover, these six successes of the
government, when examined. were

of those decisions vas that the particu-
lar forms of association prohibited
were abandoned, and in their place
much larger consultations of rail-
roads were created. such as the Great
Southern and Great Northern mergers.
The Standard Oil company has been
decreed out of existence in many states,
but it does business in all of them Just
as if nothing had happened. The
sugar trust was long ago declared il
legal in this state and put into the
hands of a receiver, Yeti still lives and
thrives. 1t simply went over to New
Jersey and r~eorganized under a new
charter, which in no way affected its
actual monopoly of the market or the
price of sugar to onsume
Judge Grosscup himself pointed out
in a recent address at the University
of Nebraska that all the trusts exist
ing in the United States to-day have
been created since the passage of the
Sherman act. with but 10 exceptions.
1t is evident hat neither as a destroyer
of trustsnor as a preventer of theircre-
alton has the Sherman act had any con-
siderable effect. In the case of the
beef trust it is notorious that plans
have been already matured to rein
carnate it if it is dissolved, in a new
form which lawyers believe will make
it secure against legal assault.

NO PERFECT SPENDTHRIFT.

U~neconomical and eXtravagant as

the perfect spendthrift," as he is TO
be found on the other side of the At.
lantic. 1t seems at times as if he
must be a product of an older, d
more ''effete" civilization, says a
writer in Scribner's. The man, either
young or old, who runs through a
large fortune quickly is a rarity with
us. High as our standard of living,
and of the ordinary expense of liy-
ing, our standard of what may be
called protiigate extravaganza is by
10 means so high. Of course, pretty
large sums are wasted in various
forms of dissipation, here as else
where. But that is not the point.
10 take the single item of gambling,
how often do we hear of a man be-
ing ruined by it here? No doubt we
hear stories of tremendous sums lost
and won; but such sums do not seem
either "to make or to break" any
body. For men whose incomes are
reckoned by the hundreds of thou
sands or millions to play hundred
dollar poker is no great recklessness.
But how often do we see young men,
of the s~mall-salaried sort, punting a
thousand or two thousand dollars at
a time at baccarat, as you can any
day in France? We have not the in
