tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment OF the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing il, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity Of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect Of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-ROot is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-ceut and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle OF this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill

offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp

B address, Binghamton, y. ", on every
I bottle.

whole, the National Congress for the last
ten years viii compare very favorably
with the National Congress Of any other
time in our history. When has the SEN

Spooner, or a more pungent and brilliant
speaker than Vest; or when has IL ever
had more tactful and discerning leaders
than Allison and Aldrich? And the list
Of striking figures might easily be made
longer. The convention which framed
the constitution was one OF the most
memorable assemblages OF all time. But
let any one infatuated by the theory OF
modern degeneracy compare the great de-

of old-f ashioned but in some quarters
still entertained theory that 1t is impossible
to steal from a thief. The you're another"
cry does not suffice. however in these days
nor is it enough for convicted man to de-
clare that his pilferings came from a dis
honestly created fund. There is in this
course a most deplorable lack of moral
sense, especially on the part of fiducary
agent. and 1t is wholesome ending of the
trial that the man was condemned and sem
fenced severely. In no other way can the
dishonesty of this very character be check
ed. The world at large cares but little for

property are emphatically made to apply
to the actions of men who are tempted to
lessen them.
If incidentally this trial and those which
it Is expected will soon follow will shed any
light on the methods of the trades unions in
the large cities in their dealings with en-
ployers we shall have moved forward de-

The BaIloting at Rome.

The fifth and sixth ballots for the new pope
were taken in Rome today without result,
and there Is no information serving to indi-
cate how prolonged the contest Will be.
This is an unusual spectacle in these days
Of the accurate gathering Of information
and instantaneous communication. Secret
ballots are common among certain organl-
cations when the time comes for the choos
ing Of dignitaries and officials. but save in
this one instance the results are announced
from time to time to permit the watchers
to appreciate the drift Of affairs Our own
candidates for Speaker and our senatorial
ballotings in executive session on treaties
and the like are speedily bulletined, 50 that
the fiction of closed doors Is never seriously
regarded as an obstacle to an immediate
knowledge OF the course of events. The
Roman conclave is safeguarded against in
truSion and scrutiny as probably no other
assemblage is today and while the STU
mata" rises from the vatican'S chimney
tops the world will be compelled to wait
with such patience as 1t can muster. 1t IS
obvious that speculationS as to the course
of the voting futile. for the net result
Of all the dispatches appears to be that the
solemn isolation of tho cardinals now seek
Ing to choose a successor to Leo XIII re-
mains intact despite the encroachments OF
modern devices and the clamors of a news

Two Opposing Merger Decisions.

Judge I.ochren's refusal to- enjon the
merger Of the two railroads which conSu-
tute the holdings of the Northern Securities
Company, on the application of the state OF
minnesota under a state statute. does not
in the slightest degree affect the status OF
the case brought by the United States
against the same corporation. and already
decided in favor of the government by the
lower federal court. Judge Lochren's juris-
dicton is similar to that of the court which
ruled in the first federal case, and he has
as much authority TO pronounce upon the
propositions of law advanced had that
other court and no more. But the fact that
his railing. directly contravening the other,
followed it in point of time by several
months may be mistaken by some to indl-
cate a superior Judgment. The fact that
lie reviewed this decision in rendering his
own serves also 10 suggest TO some minds
that his IS a governing view of the facts
and the law. However, the case of the
United States is by no means weakened by
his contrary rendering. Although the two
cases were based upon different statutes
the federal suit upon the Sherman law and
that OF Minnesota upon a state statute, the
governing principle in each is the same. an
allegation that the merger is in restraint
of trade which is forbidden by both enact
mentS.
Judge Lochren criticises the former deci
sion on the ground that 1t anticipated that
the merger would be marked by the COM
mission OF acts of an Illegal character under
the restraint of trade clause of the Sher-
man law. II remains now for the Supreme
Court TO choose between the two views
That which prevailed in the first decision
was that the object Of the merger was OBJ
,,a
tween two parallel lines. That of Judge
Iochren Is that the securities company
must hc adJudged 10y Its acts rather than by
Its opportunities and assumed intent. In
other words. until the merger has actually
resulted in a restraint of trade 1t cannot
be decreed Illegal The governments CON
tention in the suit which IT successfully
prosecuted Is that such u merger could have
but one purpose and one result and that the
requirements of good public policy warrant
anticipation and prevention.

Stealing Stolen Money

The case OF Lawrence Murphy. late treas
urer Of the Stonecutters Union of New
York. is Instructive. Accused of stealing
the funds of that associatio To the tune of
Sl2.ptb. lie entered as his defense that in the
first place the money he took was not hon
estly acquired by the union, having been
squeezed from employers by dint of threats
OF strikes, and. furthermore. that others
had dipped their fingers into the unions
purse quite freely as he had. Notwith-
standing his plea. which attracted general
attention and raised all sorts of row
guilty and the court last week sentenced
him To serve rve years and a half at hard
labor. The convicted man made a scene
In court and begged for mercy, denouncing
those who had shared his graft and de-
mandins their punishment.
1t Is possible 10 believe this plea OF Muir
phys in view OF the recent indictment of
several walking delegates Of the various
unions in New York on charges of extor-
tion. In fact. Murphy offered evidence
which seemed to prove that there was a
general grabbing OF the cash of employers
on the part of leading members of his union
A professional spirit apparently prevailed
in the ranks of the trade, and IL Is quite
within conception that the custom of threat
cning strikes for the purpose of intlmidat-
