KNOX ON TRUSTS.

Attorney General Knox says some
pertinent things in respect to trusts in
the letter he sent to Senator Hoar,
chairman of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee and Representative Littlefield,
chairman of the House Judiciary Com
mittee. In fact he seems to have about
as good a grasp of the trust question
as any other man in the country He
has certainly said some things which
have had the effect of guiding, the
discussion of the trust question.
In his letter he points out that trusts
would be shorn of a great deal of their
power for harm if it were made i'm
possible for them to get cut rates and
rebates from transportation compa-
MES One reason, and a very potent
reason, why small concerns have not
been able to compete with the great
combinations has been the discrimina-
ton against them by the transporta-
ton lines. The Attorney General ex-
presses the opinion that if the small
and the big concerns were put upon
the same footing in the matter of rates
of transportation, the small concerns
would be able to compete successfully
with the big ones.
There is no doubt a great deal of
truth in this view. 1t is widely be-
lieved, in fact it has been charged, that
the Standard Oil Company forced it's
rivals out of business simply by get
ting better transportation rates than
they could get, and it was able to do
this by giving the railroads more bus
mess than any other company, and by
playing competing railroads against
each other
What the business men of the coun-
try have been demanding for a long
time are stable rates and equal rates
that is, that all shippers shall be
placed upon the same footing, the big
shipper to pay the same rates as the
small one. When that condition of af-
fairs is brought about there will not
be so much complaint of trusts as
there is now.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, according to
the Detroit Free Press, who is recov-
ering from his serious illness, has a
great capacity for minding his own
business. His inventions, relating to
locomotive attachments, are quite i'm
portant and have aroused favorable
comment in the mechanical world A
youth, whose fathers wealth gave him
an entrance into the exclusive circles,
interviewed Mr.. Vanderbilt on his in
VentiOnS.
Where do you get your ideas?" ask
ed the heir-a question which always
will be asked by people with no ideas,
of those who have.
From heaven answered Mr.. Van
derbilt, curtly. Then, determining to
annihilate his audacious inquisitor at
one blow, he explained to the gaping
youth
You see the lightning, then you hear
the thunder. That is my idea of a To-
connective. You should see it before
you hear it. l am planning such an
engine, and, of course, it will need 10
bell"
Such a fast locomotive, and no bell?
l don't understand said the young
man. his hands on his knees and his
eyebrows arched in surprise.
Very simple" exclaimed the in
ventor. This locomotive would strike
you before the sound of the bell could
reach you. In that case there would
be no use for a bell, would there?''
The heir had been given food FOR
thought, and it must have been diff
cult to digest, for he has not annoyed
Mr.. Vanderbilt since.

after the war;" said Senator Bacon
of Georgia, according to the Washing
ton letter of the New York World,
there was great shortage of judges
in the South. In Georgia many men
were put on the bench who had no
training in the law. At circuit court
one of these judges presided, and the
two lawyers who were trying a case
before him thought to have some fun
with him. After the evidence had been
taken one of the lawyers arose and
said:
Your Honor, both sides are willing
to let the case go to the jury without
argument and on a statement of the
law and the facts by yourself,
1.-The judge rose slowly and faced
the jury.
Gentlemen he said, you have
heard the evidence and what these law
yers have said. If you believe what
the lawyer for the defendant says you
must decide for him. If you believe
what the lawyer for the plaintiff has
said you must decide for him. But
if you are like me and don't believe
what either one of them has said, I
am hanged if know what you should
do"

~ rN-AMERICAN Law.

Judge Gray. chairman Of the Coal
1 Strike Commission. thought perhaps
that he was familiar with the laws OF
the different states. particularly those
Of Pennsylvania. since he issa resident
Of Delaware, an adjacent state. and
also a lawyer. but he had TO admit,
during the examination of witnesses on
Tuesday. that he did not know that if
coal or other company Of Pennsyl-
vania requested of the state protection
from violence il could get it only by
paying for it.
The sheriff OF Lackawanna county
was on the witness stand and stated
that Mir. Mitchell the president Of the
miners union. had been Of great rs
sistance to him in maintaining order
1t was during his examination that the
fact was brought out that the coal COM
plnies had TO pay the deputies appoint
ed by the sherins. and Judge Gray ex-
pressed the opinion that the law was
un-American.
About its being un-American there
can be no doubt. 1t practically puts
the power of maintaining order in the
hands of the coal companies. If they
pay the deputies they ought to have
the right to select them. and doubtless
do select them. The deputies. there
fore. are partisans of the coal COM
panies. not the upholders and guard
ians of the law.
There were a great many reports Of
violence in the coal region during the
strike, and it would not be at all sur
prising if much OF it was due to the
character of the deputies appointed by
the sheriffs Of the various counties,
but really chosen by the coal COM
panies. 1t can be imagined the kind
of men the coal companies selected.
Doubtless they brought to their sup
port the toughest and most irresponsi-
bic characters they could find. 1t was
often the case probably that miners
were fired upon when there was no oc-
casion for using guns.
Pennsylvania ought to repeal this
law at once. If the coal companies are
taxpayers, and there is no reason to
doubt they are, they and their prop
erty should have all the protection the
state can give them. 1t would be bet
ter for the state to have the control
of the officers of the law. It can hard
ly have full control OF officers which
are paid by corporations

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post Qnd) says:
Judge Bartlett of Georgia talked
back at Speaker Henderson yesterday
in the House in very free fashion. But
Henderson is a dead cock in the pit
now and anyone may crow over him. -
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
Senator Lodges resolution to sus-
pend the duty ON coal for ninety days
suggests the obvious question, Why not
abolish it altogether? 1t affords no
protection to anybody that needs pro-
lection. 1t is an indefensible tax upon
universal necessity. 1t ought to be
removed absolutely, and, since the
country has learned it's effect, that is
what the country will insist upon"
The New York Post Qndl says: THE
New Year is full of promise for the
new Republic of Cuba. 1t finds Pres
ident Palma in a stronger position than
ever, owing to his firmness in putting
down the Havana strike. The feeling
in the Cuban Congress towards him
is friendlier, and he has gained a
number of supporters, despite the fact
that he was forced to remove the May

pears, to foment the strike. As a
whole, the island seems to be far more
orderly. particularly in the interior,
than when under Gen. Wood-a cir
cumstance. that makes the refusal of
the President to withdraw the last of
the American troops the more regret

more revenue and expending less than

sugar planting season has begun earlier
than usual, and the tobacco crop bids
fair TO be one of the largest in the his

An Englishman of the name of
Chamberlain has furnished the anti
Panama canal contingent an argument
in the shape of a letter which he has
sent to the Westminster Gazette of
London. Mr.. Chamberlain, it appears,
has personal knowledge of his subject,
having been in some way connected
with the canal work under the French
company. He says that the difficulties
in the way of constructing a canal on
the Panama route are of sueh charac-
ter as to be insuperable. In the first
place, the climate is extremely I'M
healthy. There are only two seasons.
one very wet and the other very dry.
and fevers are prevalent. The route is
volcanic, and earthquakes occur at
short intervals. The people are revo-
lutionary, and an insurrection may be
relied on every two years. Labor is
scarce and unsatisfactory. Crossing
the Culebra mountain is a problem
that has never been solved. These and
other things he afiirms. They are not
new, but the revival of them at this
time, when Congress is in session, will
have the effect of causing renewed in
terest to be taken in them.

The probabilities are that John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., receives more advice
respecting the disposition of his wealth
than about any other young man who
is heir to millions of dollars. This is
because he appears in the New York
newspapers every Monday morning as
having made an address to his Bible
class the day before. pointing the way
to higher and better life. Numer-
Gus people who read of Class Leader
RockefelIer's addresses are moved to
write to him to the effect that he ought
to dispose of his riches in accordance
with their ideas. if he himself homes
to attain to the higher and better life
Among Mr.. RockefeIler's latest advis-
ers is Henry Frank, leader of the Met
ropolitan Independent Church, who
says that when he comes into his in
heritance he ought to sell the Stand
ard oil Company and give the pro
ceeds TO the competitors which the
corporation forced out of business.

The late ex-Alderman Michael Duffy

to use the word combine" as a noun.
He used it in connection with the gang

We're indicted in connection with The
notorious Broadway franchise deal. in
1886, referring to the band of boodlers
as the combine" In consideration OF
the testimony Duffy gave against the
gang, the Indictment against him was
dismissed. The newspapers tooke UP
the use of combine" as a slang phrase
describing combinations of doubtful
character. Now the word as noun
has come into almost general use with
reference to trusts. mergers and vari-
Gus sorts of combinations, and it has
gone into the dictionary.
