THE CONDITION OF BUSINESS.

The only trouble in the business situation is due to the slowness
OF collections in the south. Planters are holding back their cotton
and this means hardness in debt paying. ALL OF the New England
manufacturing centres report hourishing business conditions.
1t seems for the present at least as if Uncle Joe Cannon's pro-
test against. hanging the country up by the tail is an apt one. More
conservative buying is looked for, however, in certain markets be-
cause of the recent advance in important raw materials. There is
a strong hope that the Russian difficulties will be soon smoothed
out, as many ores much used in our furnaces come from that richly
endowed mineral land.

FIGHT BEEF TRUST.
Attorney General Moody
Scores Monopoly.
ROOSEVELT PROBING HUGE COMBINE
II IL Charged That Great Packing
House Formed Illegal Agreement
For Purpose of Keeping Up
Price of Beef.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.--AttOrney
General Moody again opened his guns
on the beef trust when he continued
his argument for the government in
the case begun last Friddy-the United
States versus Swift q Co.
The case is the result of an ex-
haustive investigation at the order Of
President Roosevelt into the methods
of business Of the great packers Of the
country. who, It is alleged, are in an H.
legal combination for the purpose Of
keeping up the price Of beef.
Mr.. Moody said none of the agree
ments or acts complained of relate to
manufacture or production. but to com
merce commerce as distinguished
frOnS manufacture or production. They
do not accomplish fusion property in
this, he said, but are. on the contrary,
simply agreements between strangers
TO each others business affecting their
freedom Of action in certain respects,
and thus the case at the bar is different
from the Northern Securities case. The
inquiry, he said. il narrowed down TO
only two questions for the determine
tion Of the court:
Whether the commerce i'm the case
was commerce among the states and,
If so, whether the agreements consti-
tute monopoly or any part OF il.
When MIR. Moody concluded he was
followed by Mr.. Miller, who closed the
case for the packers.
Mr. Miller said that necessarily the
presentation of the case must be CON
fined within the limits Of the bin Of
complaint and that eplthets could not
be appealed to-as attempted by the
attorney general-to make the ease com.
plete. In all other cases of like char
acter there had been Il distinct agree
ment, he said the charges We're all
general and the specifications indefinite
conclusions of law or epithets.
Mr.. Miller took up the charge OF re-
bates and said the facts must be set
up In some way before the court could
take cognizance Of them. There was
no specification, and as consequence
the defendants could properly respond
only by demurrer.
Suppose asked Justice Harlan.
''the combinations alleged were con-
fined to domestic commerce in the state
of Illinois. Would You consider 1t a
restraint of trader"
Mr.. Miller replied in the negative

A Notable Step.

The Burlington News says the time
Is coming when the grand jury will be
abolished as n useless clog on our le-
gal system and quotes the experiences
of Wisconsin under which ANY one
can appear before the district attorney
and il his evidence is deemed sufficient
a warrant is issued" With an active
attorney-g general and competent states
attorneys this system might be all
right in Vermont, but, until our legal
machinery has become much mo e set
tied and positive than at present, tri-
ais will continue to progress via JUS
tice of the peace, grand jury, county
court, etc, as heretofore. Ludlow
Tribune.
AS we understand it the grand jury
law of the state was radically amended
at the recent session OF the legislature
and the Banner does not hesitate to
believe that the revised statute is the
most important act Of the legislature
of 1904.
No G6 of the acts OF 1904 is as fol-
lows:
Sec Sec. 1867 OF the Vermont
Statutes as amended by No. 90 OF the
Acts Of 1898 is hereby amended so as
TO read as follows:
Section 1867. States attorneys may
prosecute by Information all crimes
except those which are punishable by
death or by imprisonment in the state
prison for life.
This can and should and, we have
faith to believe, will do away with the
grand jury pettifogging and horseshed-
ding over trivial matters that has cost
the state of Vermont hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the past fifty
years.
Under this amended law, which is
similar TO statutes that have been in
force In Illinois and other western
states for years, grand jury will be
called together only to investigate
those serious crimes punishable by
death or life Imprisonment, and this
means that in most counties OF the
state grand jury sessions will be rare.
To be sure this new law will rob a
lot OF petty politicians and profession
al witnesses of their annual outing at
the public expense at the county seat
but il is the most advanced step in
economy and doing away with
petty graft that has been taken in Ver-
mont in many day.
1t has been the court expenses, more
than all other things combined, that
has robbed the taxpayers OF the state
and has doubled the cost Of govern
ment in Vermont in thirty years. One
step in reform has been taken and IL
NAV lead to others.
