Court Of Appeals OF this State ard
the courts of last resort in many otht I
States warrant the assertion that the
com mon law as developed affords a
complete legal remedy against mono
poles. The fact that they have null
liplied in number and increased in
power has been due not to thu failure
of the courts to apply the law when
properly moved by administrative. Of
fcials or private individuals, but to
the failure of officials charged with
the duty OF enforcing the law to take
the ne cessary procedure to procure the
judgments Of the courts in the appro-
pirate jurisdiction, coupled with tho
fact that the legislative departments
of some OF our State governments, as
as well as congress in the manner al
ready referred to, have, by legislation
encouraged their propagation.
"What is needed-in addition to the
passage of statute revising the tariff
duties to reasonable basis--is not so
much other and different laws, as of
ficials having both the disposition and
the courage to enforce existing law

"REASoNABLE TARIFF REDUCTION.
"The present tariff law is unjust in
its operation, excessive in many OF its
rates and so framed in particular in
stances as to exact inordinate profits
from the people. So wefl understood
has this view become that many prom.
inent members o. the Republican par
ty, and at least two of its State con-
ventions. have dared to voice the gen
eral sentiment on that subject. That
party seems, however, to be collect
lively able to harmonic only upon a
plank that admits that revision may
from time to time be necessary, but
it is phrased that it is expected to be
satisfactory to those in favor of an in
crease OF duty, to those who favor a
reduction thereof, and to those oppos-
ed to any change whatever
Judged by the record of perform
ance, rather than that of promise on
the part of that party in the past, it
would seem as if the outcome, in the
event OF its success, would be to gra-
tify the latter class. With absolute
control of both the legislati We and
executive departments OF the govern
ment since March d, 1887. there has
been neither reduction nor an attempt
at reduction in tariff duties. 1t is net
unreasonable to assume. in the light
of that record, that future Congress
of that party will not undertake a re-
vision of the tariff downward in the
event that it shall receive an indorse-
ment of its past course on that sub
ject by the people
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-08-19
EXECUTIVE UsURPATIoN.

Occasionally, by reason of unnec-
essary or impatient agitation for re-
forms, or because the limitations piac-
ed upon the departments of govern
ment by the Constitution are disre-
garded by officials desiring to accom-
plish that which to them seems good i,
whether the power exists in them or
not, it becomes desirable to call at
tention to the fact that the people, in
whom all power resides, have seen fit
through the medium of the Constitu-
ton, to limit the governmental pow
ers conferred and to say to depart
ments created by it Thus lar shalt
thou go aud no farther

THE DOUGHERTY DEAL.
Some Reasons Why the Hard Hitter
Was Let Out Mt Boston.

Boston, July 1.-THE story is grad
ually coming out land already Cap
| tain Collins is a much stronger man
than ever with the lovers of the game
all who favor strong combinations to
individual work. Dougherty refused
on several occasions to obey orders,
and openly refused to listen to Man
ager Collins until it was Collins or
Dougherty for a leader. The players
were with the captain to- a man, and
quietly applauded his stand when he
called the outlaw.
Captain Collins struck for diScip-
line, and tried to make several trades
for the player to find no one willing
to give up regular player. Then
he did the next best thing, and &C
cepted an offer from Clark Griffith.
A few foolish people, some holding
high offices in baseball, commenced
to howl, and displayed a monumental
ignorance of the things that go to
son was accused of making the deal,
for Uncle Ban must stand for every
play not to the liking of the followers
of the National league. Now, the truth
is Ban knew nothing about the play.
In fact. he is never consulted by Mr..
Collins. who has absolute control of
the club, and is never even offered a
suggestion by President Taylor. 1t
isn't likely that Collins would put him
self in the hole to help either New
York or Ban Johnson. He is not
built on those lines.
Dougherty was dopy and a kicker.
He was swelled, and had lost his use
fulness for Boston, and Captain Col
Inns was right to dispose of him to the
clubs best advantage. They were
then out for the best In the market,
and had no trouble in landing Al. Sell
bach, who had lost his usefulness to
Washington. Selbach, is a great ball
player, a pleasant fellow and. dead
sure to fit in nicely with the cham
pions. In his first game here he did
some sensational outfielding, saving
the game and receiving the most Wig
orouS applause ever accorded a ball
player in this city. Dougherty will
soon be forgotten. He was a fine bats
man. but a very bad fielder. Boston
knows ball player. Setback ranks
with the top-notchers.

clear the exact stats of the new nation

from them the date fixed for notifying the
nominees of their selection by the con-

He will then call meeting of the ma

Santa Fe Industrial Commits
sioner Makes a Report.
SALE PRICE is s1O,s75.
Purchase Of a 145 Acre Tract
Leased Three Months Ago.
Have Still an Option on Eighty
Acres Near the Town.

Chanute. July 12.-Wesley Merritt,
Industrial commissioner for the Santa
Fe railway system, has been in the
city several days. and his visit revives
the interest in the mammoth cement
plant which is to be constructed west
Of the city this year. While here he
spent much of his time in conference
with DR.. Barker, who together with
Mr.. Merritt, has been most influential
in securing the location of this in
dustry near Chanute.
When asked concerning the imme-
diate intentions of the company, Mr..
Merritt said: 81 had a conversation
with Mr.. J. r. Patterson, of Union
City, Mich, vice president and gen
eral manager of the company, in
which he stated that work on the
construction of the plant would begin
within the next four or five months.
Everything is moving along very sat
isfactorily.''
It is reported that the company
has taken up its option for the pur-
chase of the 145-acre tract belonging
east and north of the G. W. Cory land
which the company bought three
months ago. 1t is understood that Mr..
Dulin received $10,S75 or SIS an acre.
MI Merritu was unable to verify
this report IF the option had ex-
pired, 1t may be regarded as a GER
tainry that the company took it up
he said There remains but one other
tract upon which the Company holds
an option and that is the Soderquist
land consisting of eighty acres. Its
purchase Will make their total hold
1ngs close TO 400 acres.
