idends. This defeat of the Attorney
General and the administration leaves
the matter in ststu quo until the case
is decided by the Supreme Court.
If the Supreme Court should decide
that the merger in effect restrains
trade and confirms the Circuit Court
decision. there would be 10 relief fol-
the people. for the merger railroad
stocks will be returned to their orig
inal owners. The only object of the
public in wanting the merger declared
void is to re-establish competition. and
this is impossible as Mr.. Hill and Mr.
Morgan jointly control the majority OF
the stock of the railroads. and Of
course will not enter into competition
with themselves. Competition ended
when they brought the control of the
competing railroads under one manage
ment. and no law can prevent one
man or two men owning stock in two
competing railroads. and now they
own n controlling interest of both rail
roads, from ceasing to compete one
against the other.

ney General had expended half the
time and money of some of the indus
trial trusts that are charging the peo
pie so exorbitantly for their products,
the result might have been of much
greater value to the consumers. The
trouble is that the attempt to fight the
trusts is entirely political play, and
not intended as serious demonstra.
ton against them. If it had been in.
tended to punish the most obnoxious
and oppressive trusts. the criminal sec
ton of the antitrust law would LONG
ago have been invoked.
Now the Republican leaders have de
termined to throw overheard the Iowa
idea" and have agreed to let the trusts
continue their robbery under the pro
lection granted them by the Dingley
bill, there can be no reliance placed In
their efforts to prevent railroad consol
idation.
If the merger suit would result IL
lowering the freight and passenger
rates on the railroads IL would be a
great victory for the people. and the
administration would be entitled to the
credit But no one claims that one
cent of the eXorbitant rates will be
taken off or that one dollar will be
saved 10 the people. even if the Su.

Inconsistency of the Law.
What we call the law sometimes
veXes us with apparent strange incon-
sistencies. When the judges of the
Eighth Circuit Court of the United
States decided the merger case it was
generally considered that the railroads
involved would have to abide by that
decision. unless it was reversed by the
Supreme Court. The railroad attorn
eys, however. applied to Judge San
born, who was one of the judges OF
the Circuit Court that rendered the de
cisiOn, asking modification Of the
judgment, and he granted it. notwith
standing the protest Of the Attorney
General of the United States and the
District Attorney. Thus we see the
extraordinary judicial spectacle Of a
judge sitting en- banc and deciding

NOVEL KIND OF INSURANCE.
English Company Takes risks Upon
the Surgeons Operating Skill.

In England people OF moderate
means are beginning to insure them
selves against surgical operations. The
plan is that subscribers who pay an
annual fee shall be entitled either to
free admittance To a hospital or nurS
ing at home and free operation or to
a fixed sum paid down to defray the
cost of an operation if one becomes
necessary. In England, as here the
cost OF surgical repairs to the human
body has become oppressively great
to persons who just manage to pay
their way. People who are obviously
poor get a great deal of excellent sur
gical and medical treatment in hos
pitfalls and elsewhere for nothing, but
for the next class above them a seri-
Gus illness especially if it involves
an operation-is almost ruinous.
1t would seem as if the time was
near when societies for insurance
against specialists might be proftably
organized in the larger American
cities. The specialist has come to be
a very mportant-indeed, an indis-
1ensable-institution. especially to
families in which there are children.
The Office of the family doctor has

cd simply for the purpose OF putting in
some Friend to the mcm1erS Of the

posed to spending $500 for this pur-
pose. Mr.. Wood read section 4. article.

that the creation of the place was lln-
constitutional. Mr. Caldwell thought t
was clearly constitutional to pass such
a resolution. as the place was neces-

was the sole judge. He dubbed the
economic views set forth by Mr.. Butt
