danger. That is a rational view Of the
situation expressed by one of the di-
rectors Of the Northern Securities com
pany: 1--WE shall no doubt for some
time find a great unwillingness to en-
bark in new affairs, but that is nc mis-
fortune, for promotion has been carried
too far and in this respect perhaps the
Securities decision may prove a bless
ing in disguise. In due time the effects
and results Of even the situation now
created will wear off, and as a conse-
quence Of the inactivity and further
liquidation which we are certain to have
money will after a time become plentt-
full and then likely all sound securities
will benefit by the process Of recovery,
which sooner or later will surely set in
The legitimate business of the coun-
try, it is safe to say, will go on without
disturbance. There will be nothing
done by the government to interfere
with it or to imperil the prosperity
which all interests are now having.
There will be recovery from the shock
which the merger decision gave and
conditions will be better thereafter. We
repeat, there is no sound reason for
apprehension.

KICKING THE DEAD OCToPI.

Cincinnati Enquirer: The decision in the
Northern Securities case comes perilously
near infringing upon the national sover-
eighty OF New Jersey, to say nothing about
cutting down future revenues.
Washington Star: The curbstone lawyers
are now engaged in reviewing the decision
in the merger case, but It Is believed that
nothing further will be done in the matter
until It reaches the supreme court.
Cleveland Leader: II Attorney General
Knox is encouraged by the decision in the
merger case to go after a few more trusts
he is likely to cause serious trouble for the
big combinations. AS a former trust law

CARNATIONS.
Indianapolis Journal: Mr.. Olney, Mr..
Cleveland's attorney general, said in 1898
or 1894 that the Sherman antitrust law
was entirely inadequate to the work Of re-
straining harmful monopolies. Attorney
General Knox appears to have found it toll
erably effective. Doubtless the Northern
Securities people think it is.
Chicago Chronicle. Uncle Jim Hill de-
clares the Northern Securities decision to
be preposterous and intimates that the
hnanciers in interest will find a way to
evade 1t even IL it be affirmed by the sS-
preme court. We may thus see that com
p]liance with the letter and spirit Of the
law is not obligatory upon our captains of
industry and finance, though it is, of
course, most imperative upon horny-handed
citizens who form labor unions and ask
for more wages.
Minneapolis Journal: People who ave
been so pessimistio as to feel that the
courts can no longer be depended on to do
justice where the strong and the powerful
are interested, may be Inclined to revise
their judgment in the light of the merger
decision. Along that line this decision
ought to be Of great value. The American
people are bound to have confidence in their
government under the shadow of such
courageous assertion Of the supremacy OF
their will as expressed in this law.

MERCANTILE coNFlpEKcE.

Reports from all quarters show that
mercantile confidence in the immediate
future is general A New York paper
which has made extensive inquiries
among prominent business men says
that the replies received are conspicuous
for their uniformly hopeful and encour-
aging character. Their features are that
merchandise is steady going into con-
sumption on an unprecedented scale,
production is active but supplies are not
accommodating except in few instances,
the west is prosperous, collections are
good, credit is generally sound and bust
ness generally is on a larger scale even
than last year. OF course an occasional
nearly all statements the desirability for
conservatism is recognized, the chief ell
ement of dlstrust being the excessive
supply Of securities and the strained
that this feature is marked and the only
other subject Of serious apprehension is
the labor agitation and the consequent
increasing cost of production.
There are very substantial reasons for
confidence In the business outlook. All
classes Of the people are at present do
ing well and It is not to be doubted that
the general consumption is larger now
than ever before. Promise of a continu-
ance of this Is IN the favorable crop
outlook and also in the fact that the for
eign demand for our products is being
well maintained. Unquestionably there
are one or two weak features in the sit
uation, but these are not of a nature
that need cause distrust. Perhaps the
most serious of them is the excessive
supply Of "undigested' securities, yet
this is perhaps not so dangerous as
some think. Business generally is in a
very satisfactory condition and it would
seem hat this can be safely counted
upon to continue for at least another
year.

NO REASON FOR AppnEBENSIoN.


The stock market is showing a panicky
feeling, due largely If not wholly to a
fear created by the merger decision that
there may be a general attack upon
capital and business consultations.
There has been manifested in some
quarters a disposition to foster such an
apprehension. Comment of the counsel
of the Securities company on the de-
cision has been of this character, as has
also that of certain newspapers more
or less in sympathy with the combina-
lions, regardless Of whether or not they
are violating the laws. These inter
prefers of the decision see in it a weapon
by which almost every corporation en-
gagged in interstate commerce may be
summarily slain and seek to create
alarm by protesting to fear that this
will be done.
There is no valid reason for this ap-
prehension, but on the contrary very
substantial ground for believing that it
is not the purpose of the executive
branch of the government to take any
steps likely to seriously disturb or dis
arrange the business affairs of the coun-
try. 1t has proceeded thus far carefully
and ~cOnservatively and will undoubt-
eddy continue in that course The laws
will be enforced. That the administra,
ton has promised and the promise will
be fulfilled as far as it's authority ex
tends. But nothing revolutionary will
be attempted. No one can be more
anxious than President Roosevelt and
his advisers TO conserve the Legitimate
business interests Of the country anG
perpetuate prosperity. They are moi
engaged in corporation smashing, but
in an effort to correct existing evil,
and to bring about compliance with the
laws. 1t is quite probable that the De
partment of Justice has in mind tn,
prosecution of certain trusts which hav,
openly d~isregarded the federal statutes
and this is its plain duty, but that an!
general raid upon capital and business
consultations is contemplated is mos
unlikely.
The merger decision, II upheld by tn
supreme court, will affect a number o
railroad community Of interest plans
but there is no reason to suppose dis
astrously. The result will be (
restore former conditions, IL grea
part at least, but 1t will not nece,
sarily follow that any OF the road
will materially suffer thereby, while
is quite possible that the public may b
benefited. AS to the Industrial combini

GERMAN STEEL COMPETITION.

According to reports from Berlin, the
United States Steel corporation, fearing
the competition caused by German ex-
ports of iron and steel to this country,
has been making ov%ertures to form a
working agreement with the German
iron and steel syndicates. 1t appears,
however, that the foreign syndlcates are
extremely wary Of the advances Of the
American trust and have thus far re-
fused to make any concessions which
might decrease the exports to the United
States and again make the steel trust
the sole arbiter in the price market. It
is stated that not only have these adj
vances been baked, but the movement
to bring about a general trust in German
iron and steel circles to meet the Amer.
lean competitor in foreign markets has
been successfully launched. There has
been effected a general amalgamation
of all iron and steel interests and Ger.
many nov has a steel corporation as
strong and we'll fortified as the United
States corporation.
To what extent this will interfere
with u foreign trade IN iron and steeI
products is yet to be determined, but in
view of 81 formidable a competition
abroad as this threatens to be, the ques
ton suggests itself whether we car
wisely encourage the exports of iron and
steel to this country by removing OF
largely reducing the tariff. When Ger
many is making every effort to check
the American invasion of that country
would 1t be well to invite German in
vasion Of the United States? To do SC
would manifestly not be in the Interest
of American labor.

health is concerned. It has developed with
in the last week that all who ave been
at the Doctors table are taking on a deli
cate pink complexion which, Il is said,
would be the envy Of any young miss in
the land. 1t is not thought that this is due
to the borax which has been given to the
young men in their food for the last few
months, but to some chemical Ingredient
which has been mixed With the food un-
known to the subjects.
This change in the doctors boarders
caused some concern at first. until a thor
ough examination was made of all the
young men and they were ound to be in a
perfectly healthy condition.
The only admission that will be made at
the department is that all .he drugs used
in the food have up to date proved abso-
lutely harmless. The pink complexion
gives the men a healthy appearance, such
as would result from a good circulation Of
the blood brought on by outdoor exercise.
No one engaged in the experiments has
been able to determine what chemical has
produced this change, or II he has he Will

It seems that tina time has come when

frain from talking foolishly when II is not

many speeches delivered in congress with
the idea OF telling kings, kaiser, car or

no use for any rulers except our own par
ticular brand. There are too many imper-
tinent resolutions issuing from legislatures

parliaments that they are not treating their
own peoples az they should. We could spare

lions as TO the sort OF havoc our volunteer
soldiers would make of the conscripts OF
