IN 4 NUTSHELL.

We will give the World Herald credit
for stating In a nutshell the points in
volved in the disputed ruling Of Chair
mar Cowell at the republican city con-
vention and showing what flmsy pre-
tense the boilers have to excuse their
walkout. 1t says:
There is evidence that a majority Of the
republicans voting Friday in the various
wards declared for Frank f. Moores. In
the contested wards his majority was about
200. In selecting 14S delegates the repub-
licans selected seventy-three for Moores
and seventy against him. Any delegate
who changed after being elected is neces-
sarily under criticism, II not suspicion.
Moores' friends having won at the pri-
maries were entitled to run the convention.
Robert Cowell, as chairman, was justified
in ruling that the Second ward delegates
need not be polled unless a Second ward
member demanded it. The Ninth ward
had no more right to demand a poll Of the
Second ward delegates than Nebraska has
to interfere in an lows election. AS a
matter OF fact the republicans Of the Second
ward had declared for Moores. II one of
the Second ward members, after being
elected on the Moores ticket, desired to
desert It he had the legal right to do so.
but the chairman very properly refused to
allow members from another ward to
seduce or cajole him into doing so, There
is entirely too much changing OF dele
gates after their election. To encourage
It is to open the door to corruption.
Chairman Cowelrs ruling served to check
the tendency. and its effect was therefore
good.
The rank and file Of the republican
party pronounced at their primaries for
the denomination of Frank L. Moores.
He could not have been deprived of that
nomination except by subverting the
will OF the party through resort to fraud
and corruption.

II is generally recognized that the
merger decision will have a far-reach-
ing effect, should It be affirmed by the
court Of last resort, but there Is diversity
Of opinion as TO the scope of it's applica-
ton, some contending that Il extends to
every railroad and trade consolidation
or combination affecting competition,
while others argue that It does not apply
to such agreements or community Of
interest" arrangements as exist between
some Of the eastern railroads. Mr..
Griggs, formerly attorney general Of
the United States and now counsel for
the Northern Securities company, has
expressed the opinion that II the de-
cision is to prevail in the merger case
It must also hold good in the case of all
other companies holding stock in COM
peting lines.
If that view be correct, It will apply
TO the Union Pacific control of the
Southern Pacific. the Pennsylvania COM
pany's holdings in the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Norfolk
& Western railroads, and the holdings Of
Reading railroad stock by the Baltimore
& Ohio. 1t is true these cases do not
present an exact analogy, with the pos
sible exception of the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific, to the case of the
Northern Securities company, yet 1t
seems tolerably clear that the decision
In the latter case has some application
to them. All these arrangements I'M
doubtedly have reference to competition
and to whatever extent they go In pre-
venting free competition they nay be
held to be in restraint of commerce
within the meaning Of the law. The
language Of the decision pointing to this
conclusion is so clear and explicit that
1t can badly be misunderstood. 1t de-
clares that any contract or combination
that places obstacles in the way of free
and unrestricted competition between
carriers who are natural rivals for
patronage is prohibited by existing law.
Whether or not the Northern Securi-
ties decision reaches to trade combina-
lions Is OF course a debatable question.
The leading counsel of the United States
Steel corporation has expressed the
opinion that 1t will not be affected by
the decision, still as one writer on the
subject says, corporations like the steel
trust rest upon uncertain ground which
may at any time give way under them.
Their legal standing is doubtful: their
legitimacy is In question" The judicial
determination Of this will be reached in
due time. Assuming, as is very gener-
ally done, that the decision Will be af-
frmed by the supreme court, what new
scheme will the corporations devise for
defeating the law and promoting n
oily? There is no doubt they will seek
some way to do this, but it is hardly
possible that they will succeed. They
may provoke continual litigation, but It
has beer pretty conclusively established
that the government has the power TO
regulate and control all combinations
engaged in interstate m and to,
prevent monopoly, and the people will
insist upon this power being exercised.

power the majority Of the convention
conceded to the minority two of the

Reduction of Natural Rights.

What Wall street thinks, says or may at
tempt in such circumstances, is less signi-
hcant than the attempted reduction by the
court OF the amount Of natural right here
tofore supposed to exist in the world, the
natural right to buy or sell much or little
or all OF anything one has. the natural right
Of two or more to agree that what is sold
or bought shall be used to promote COM
mercial unity and not to promote CONNER
cial rivalry. The decision seeks almost TO
reach down into state Of mind OF those
whom It affects, and to declare that the in
tents OF men in conceivable circumstances
can be inferred and forbidden by courts.
II will be impossible to limit this to rail-
roads. Litigation can be invoked against
any corporation, the articles produced by
which enter into between the
states o. abroad. In short, anything af-
fected by a relation to m between
the states or abroad can be argued into the

ONCE Department.
New York Times
There will be general surprise at the an
nouncement by the Postofhce Department
In its new book Of instruction that stamps
accidentally torn in two cannot be used
for the payment of postage. Most Of us can
remember occasions when, with more or
less care, we pasted the parts Of a torn
stamp on the letter, and in such cases, u.s.
ually, II not always, the letter has reached
its destination and made no trouble either
for the sender or the recipient. So as a
matter of fact, and whatever the depart
ment may say, torn stamps can, or at least
could, be used. And why should they not
1t is considerable, Of course, that by the
exercise of a vast amount OF labor and in
genuity ten stamps could be turned into
eleven that would pass the inspection Of
an overworked cancellation clerk, with the
consequent loss to the government OF two
cents, but it is not conceivable that this
crime would be committed by anybody else
than a lunatic miser or oftener than once
in a generation. On the other hand the
frequency with which we all have only one
stamp, ind that a torn one, is very great,
and a large amount of utterly needless in
convenience would be caused II II were
necessary in such cases to make a journey
to the postofice, or even to the nearest
drugstore. 1t is the business of the postal
authorities to render correspondence easy,
not difficult, to do the work for which they
take the peoples money. not to find ex-
cuses for leaving it undone until they can
get more money. The matter is a very
small one, but 1t is one of those trihes
that creates a lot of annoyance and irri-
tation-or might II the department was as
strict in practice as it now says 1t is In
theory.

u TAXATION.
Mortgage Tax aud Other Schemes Of
Doubtful UtiIity.
Chicago Chronicle.

thAAAt
Chicago Chronicle.
Governor Odell's bill for tho taxation OF
mortgages seems to have no chance OF
enactment in the New York legislature. al
though It was the pet measure Of the ex-
ecutive himself and had been formally
adopted as a supposed clever move by the
dominant party.
For once the great financial institutions
and the general public were found to be
a unit against a pending bill. and the fact
that II 1t became a law it would be a new
burden upon borrowers was brought home
so stoutly to the members that even the
crack OF the party whip was powerless to
force the measure through.
II is conceded that the persistent and
dogmatlc adhesion to this particular meas
ure has been a positive injury to Gov
ernor Odell, damaging his hopes Of future
political Advancement and even threaten
ing the chances OF his party's success in
the next state election.
1t seems strange that a man OF his sup
posed political acumen should have fathered
such a measure at all. let alone endeav-
oring to drive it through the legislature,
Tor 1t is only the old thrashed-out idea
OF mortgage taxation with no particularly
new or plausible trimmings.
The mania to put extra taxes upon some
body or something is a prevalent disease.
and Its outbreak seems to be In order at
any session of any legislature.
1t takes the form this year in Illinois OF
bills calling for increased life insurance
taxation. Some four or FIVE such meas
ures have already been introduced and 1t is
perhaps needless to say that Mr.. Nohe is
behind at least one of them.
Probably no tax proposition will ever be
evolved that will suit everybody. The tax.
like the boil, is a thing endurable mainly
when afiicting somebody else. But it
would seem as II even the most stupid OF
statesmen" would understand hat to levy
additional taxes upon men who are already
bending under the burden OF mortgages
or who are showing the best Of self
abnegation by trying to protect their fam
ilies through life insurance could not pos
sibly be a winning game.

fortunate that the government cannot

that there is always latent talent ready
