Morton and the Santa F'e.

The correspondence in the Paul Nor
ton case consists CT four principal doc
@uments. There is the letter Of Messrs.
Harmon and Judson, the government 8
special counsel; the attorney general IS
letter to them; Mr.. Morton s letter to
the president, and the president s re-
ply to Mr.. Morton. Together they
begin and close the question: whether
the government shall take action per-
sonally against the officials Of the
Santa Fe railroad system, including
Paul Morton, on account of the rail-
roads violation of the injunctions OBJ
tained against it.
d. The president decides in the mega
tive, and delivers Mr.. Morton to private
life with a clean bill of health, and the
best wishes for his future prosperity.
After reading all the letters we are
convinced that the president is wrong
in this matter, and that his usual good
Judgment and his high sense of duty
have been misled. It is rather strange
and somewhat disconcerting to find it
SO, because the letter Of Messrs. Har-
mon and Judson appears to be a clear
justification Of the action they advise
The government lawyers said the
: injunction had been violated; they did
not know by whom, because the accused
is a corporation. A rule could be had,
however, which would bring the officers
Of the guilty corporation into court and
compel them to disclose their personal
connection. The rule, they declared,
would be a demand for an explanation
rather than an accusation. This rule
the. attorney general declines to apply
for on the ground that there is no evil
dence against any individual officers of
the corporation. Naturally there was
not, but there was evidence against the
corporation itself and it was the privil-
eye as well as the duty Of the govern
ment to learn, if possible who was re-
sponsible for the act of the corporation
in breaking the law. 1t is certain that
the corporation did not violate the law
without human connivance Tt is
equally certain that these officers or
employees of the corporation who con.
nlved would not come forward and con.

The great breach in the friendship
between Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett occurred when Barrett was
playing The Man of Aiarlee" in
Booths theatre. The piece did not
draw, and Booth decided to have it
discontinued. So Gas he afterward told
of the incident) he preached the sub
ject to Barrett, who Immediately grew
angry. DO you mean to say that I
can't play it," he demanded holly.
Booth assured him, in a conciliatory
way. that he gave the first part fairly,
but not the last. In a greater passion
than ever, Barrett repeated: DO you
mean to say that I can't play it?''
Booth, still trying to not offend him,
said: Il don't think you have quite
worked into the last act Then Bar
rett's fury burst its bounds, and he
terminated a torrent of invective with
the remark: ''Your fathers weakness
and your brothers crime placed you
where you are. But / will live to see
you in the gutter, and will stand above
you" In spite of this, the two grew
to be friends again, and starred in the
combination that drew the biggest
houses of the time.
