THE MERGER CASE
Interesting Inside History Of Northern Securiti
Case Never Before Made Public
HARTMAN VERSUS JIM HILL
Willy New
nExactI

The Independent is able to lay be-
fore its readers the secret of the whole
movement to bring case against the
Northern Securities company and give
them a few facts not heretofore pub
lished in any paper. The movement
was both political and financial, but
at the bottom of it all was an effort
of the Hartman interests to get con-
troll of the Northern Pacific. The
stock of that company is divided into
preferred and common, but the own
ers of the common stock have right
to retire the preferred. Hill owned a
majority of the common and Harri-
man the preferred. That gave Hill
the whip hand. Then the Hartman
crowd proposed community of in
terests," the common stock was trans
muted into the securities of the
Northern Securities company wi
certain regulations that deprived it
Of the power of retiring the preferred
stock whatever might happen to the
securities company.
Then the Hartman crowd sent
agents all over the six states through
which the two roads run to stir up a
great row about the merging of the
two roads. A large number of news
papers were induced to take up the
question and show the wreck and ruin
that would follow the suppression Of
competition. 1t worked like charm.
The republican politicians in those
states were frightened out of their
wits. They declared that these six re-
publican states would be lost to the
party unless something was done. The
governors held conferences. Urged on
by the Hartman interests, the papers
grew more vociferous. Finally con-
ference was held in Washington in
which many men prominent in the
republican party in those six states
took part. Among them were the
senator's and representatives in con-
gress. The president was told that
if something was not done that those
six states would be lost. Then the
president ordered the attorney gen.
eral to investigate the matter. 1t did
not take Knox long to find out that
the merger was contrary to law and
the suit was instituted. The presi-
dent was assured by all the great
financial interests which center in the
Hartman gang, that It was necessary

to the business interests" that the
case should be Immediately tried and
bill was rushed through congress
to expedite the hearings.
Every lawyer knew that there was
plenty of law on the statute books to
annul any such a scheme to destroy
competition, and the counsel of the
GreatNorthern told their employers so
before the scheme was inaugurated,
but the Hartman crowd completely
outwitted the other side. They
pointed to the fact that there were
scores Of other railroad combinations
of exactly the same character and the
government had never instituted any
prosecutions, that, in fact, the repub-
lican party could not afford to do it
and would not do it. So they went
ahead.
A few minutes after the news of the
decision reached New York, a news
paper man called on Hartman and
asked him what he thought of the de-
cision. Hartman was so delighted
over the success of his scheme that in
his excitement he unguardedly re-
piled: "1t suits me exactly" That re-
ply led to an investigation and it was
found that the order of the court, be-
cause Of the destruction of the COM
mon stock, would give Hartman con-
troll of the Northern Pacific and that
Hartman had Hill down and was
trampling that great railroad mogul
beneath his feet
Now that this gang of Wall street
pirates has successfully used the pres
ident, congress and the United States
courts to down rival, they have
joined their forces with all who are
of like occupations and are showing
under the cabinet, the president and
the leaders of the republican party
with kilograms and protests to the eff
feet that there must be no more trust
prosecutions" or panic will result
and the republican party will be put
out of power.
The readers, of The Independent can
rest assured that they have a true
history of this affair. They car even
verify good part of it by putting to-
gether little items that have appeared
here and there in the financial col
umns of the great dailies, but those
same dailies will never print a con-
nected account Of the matter. u

has no sympathy whatever with the
Rhodes scheme of South African fed
Grafton under the British flag, or with
his larger idea of Anglo-Saxon fedora
tion under an imperial policy.
Under the circumstances, fellow
ship q. Gcns.antincple or st. Peters
burg for American students would be
less dangerous to American institu-
tions than scholarship at Oxford.
Turkey and Russia are undisguised
despotisms, which are at once and
permanently repellant to the Ameri-
can mind. But the partial resenbl-
ance of English political institutions
to our own, together with the kindred
Jurisprudence and literature, tempts
the American to temporize with the
monarchical idea, to close his eyes to
the atrocities and misery which have
invariably accompanied the forcible
extension Of British sovereignty In
every quarter of the globe, and to be-
lieve the miserable cant and hypoc-
risy with which Britain has uniform
ly cloaked her selfish attacks upon
the rights Of man.
1t is hoped, however, for the honor
of American manhood, that those
American students who avail them
selves of the Rhodes bequest will,
upon every proper occasion, proclaim
in the land of George III. the politi-
cal principles Of George Washington.

 The woman has been Respondent and under the influence of intoxicants for some time, and yesterday she went to the landady and asked for some money, which was refused owing to her condition. She went to a drug store and bought twenty-five grains of morphine, which she took. She then told the other inmates of the house what she had done, and be- fore physician could arrive she collapsed and seemed to suffer intense pain from the effects of the poison.
 Two physicians worked with her for nearly four hours. but the drug had af- fected her system to such an extent that 1t was impossible for medical skill to counteract it.
