Verdict for Plaintiff.

In charging the jury yesterday in the
case of Dressler and Hollender against
William Sellers and others in New Bruins
wick, N. j., the defendants being five
members of the MasOns' and Plasterers'
Union, Justice Fort, in the Supreme
Court, at that place, reviewed the
law of the State touching upon the
privileges OF labor organizations. Plain
tiffs, master carpenters Of Perth Amboy,
brought suit against the members of the
union for damages. 1t is alleged that a
boycott was declared by the union, as a
result of which the firms business was
ruined. The suit for damages was brought
against the individual members of the
union. Justice Fort said in his charge;
"a man, owning his own labor, has
the right to agree as to it and for whom
he will employ it, and neither he, nor
his fellows, with whom he so agrees,
can be adjudged to have done any illegal
act by such agreement. But he cannot,
without civil liability, maliciously seek
to iniure any individual, firm or cor
poration by preventing such individual,
firm or corporation from carrying on its
business. Every man owns his own
labor and may contract it as he will, but
when he steps outside of this lawful
right and attempts to direct another
person, to the injury of a third, what
ever he does in this regard he does at his
peril"
The jury brought in verdict of $500
for the plaintiffs.

has adopted a more conciliatory attitude
toward the striking railway men OF

OSTENsIBLY and sensibly, the en-
iorcement of the provisions of the coast
wise bill bringing the Philippine lslands
within the operation oftbe stupid naviga-
ton laws is to be delayed for two years.
The Philadelphia Record discussing the
true object of the entire procedure well
says: "The object of delay is to so re-
arrange the tariff schedules as to en-
courage reciprocal commerce between
the Philippines and the United States
1t was rather grotesque arrangement
to restrict the carrying to vessels hying
the Stars and Stripes while at the same
time putting tariff embargo on trade
At the end of two years, however, there
will be the same beet root, tobacco and
cheap labor cutlery against proposed re-
auctions of tariff rates that has so far
prevented any commercial advantage
either to ourselves or to our conquered
subjects on the other side of the world
resulting from the transfer Of sovereign
itv from Spain to the United States"

War AGAINST Ticker Brokers.

Chicago, April 2l.-Practically the
entire business interests of Chicago, rep
resented by more than 100 of the promi-
nent firms and corporations, have joined
hands with the railroads for war Of ex-
termination against the ticket brokers.
The first broadside viii be fired at the
brokers within two or three days when
representatives, of the railway protective
bureau and passenger associations will file
in the Federal court bill seeking an in
junction against the Chicago ticket scalp
ers, restraining them from dealing in
non-transferable contract tickets issued
in connection with the st. Louis Expo
sition. The brokers have armed the
selves with q defense fund which hes
reached the $500 mark, and it is
therefore expected that the fight will be
spectacular one.

Congress- is in Has te.

In response to an inquiry as to the
cause of republican anxiety to adjourn
Congress and if early adjournment would
leave any important matter of legislation
unattended to, Representative Williams,
of Mississippi, the House minority
leader, enumerated long list of things
which Congress has not done at the
present session and which, in his opin-
ion, it should have done. He accused
the republican majority OF bad faith in
its plea of ono time" to consider these
matters, pointing out that it had found
time to consider many unimportant
matters which might very well have
been passed by. Mr.. Williams con-
clusion is that the republicans are anx-
ious to adjourn Congress because they
do not want any investigation of alleged
abuses in the law, corruption in the de-
partments, executive usurpation OF leg
islative power, or anything else to be
investigated or corrected except by the
friends of the abuses, usurpatlons, cor
ruptions. or extortions.

New York, April 2l.-The stock market
upon the new litigation instituted by the
Hartman interests to prevent the carrying
out of the directors plan for dissolving the

the opposing interests to get together and
settle their difficulties amicably The market
opened generally with fractional gains and
made further advances in the first hour.
The industrials were generally strong as a.
group The speculation at present is not ac-
tive, but the undertone is strong.

To Control the Necessaries of Lite.

Columbus, o., April 2l.-The Stand
ard Oil Company is said to be now en-
gagged in pushing plans to control every
commodity of the country. 1t has been
known that John ID. Rockefeller and as
sociates have for some time past been
prosecuting a systematic effort to control
the railways and coal, steel, and iron
business of the country. Likewise their
growing interests in sugar, coffee, and
cereals is a matter known to the close
observers in commercial circles. Now
it is learned that theowners of the Stand
ard Oil Company are endeayoring to con-
troll the wholesale grocery business of the
country. In pursuance OF this plan the
Standard Oil Company through the Ed
ridge & Higgins Company, of this city,
have recently purchased wholesale
groceries in various Ohio cities and the
"buying out" process is to go on until
the business of the State is under COM
plete control. What is in progress in
Ohio is now said to be going on also in
New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and other
States, and the movement is to expand,
it is said, until the Standard Oil Com
pany will dominate all the necessaries of
life in all the States of the Union. The
Standard Oil Company's ambition, it is
said, is to compel all the people of the
country to buy their goods from it,
whether they buy OIL coal, hardware,
groceries, building material, or rail-
road ticket

AN ITEM is going the rounds OF the
newspapers to the effect that the Veteran
Volunteer Firemen's Association of Bal
timore has in its possession fire engine
which was presented by George Washing
ton to the Friendship Fire Company OF
this city in 1864. 1t is further stated that
the Baltimore association purchased the
engine in 1888. Washington purchased
an engine for the Friendship Companyli n
IVA. 1t had one wheel and was carried to
a fire as wheelbarrow would be operated.
Itpassed out of history over century ago
and another engine was purchased which
wears after was sold for junk, bringing
eight pounds. The present Friendship
engine was procured about 1852. Wash
ington hatchets havein recent years been
multiplied. Washington fire engines may
be destined to become equally as common.

Mr.. DOLLIvER, a republican pro-
tectionist, made speech in the Senate
yesterday, championing the protective
tariff, his object being to hoodwink
the unthinking people. He said 1.-THE
protective system is not the mother OF
trusts" and sit is hard to understand
how anyone experienced in the practical
aspect of affairs can believe that the
effect of protective laws has been to
foster, much less to engineer, monOp-
oly." This calls to mind the answer
which well known Alexandrian, while
confined to the Old Capital, made to q
friend who told him that the govern
ment could not put him in prison. He
said ''But they have got me here. "
Mr.. Deliver may tell people that pro.
tective laws do not foster trusts but the
fact remains that they do.
