MODERN PIRATES.

The oIdtime sea rover who was wont 10
swoop down on merchantmen and loot It's cargo
was regarded by all civilized nations rs crih-
inal of the most dangerous type. Ii caught ne was
usually hanged along with his crew. In these
more peaceful days there are pirates VINO prey
on commerce. but they are far less engaging u
the imagination. Among them as told elsewhere
in The Tribune this morning, may be casseu
the trademark CRATER as he is sometimes
called who. despite the laws still prospers In
stead of holding up ship laden with mercnah-
disc he attacks the business of some other man
ufacturer and by initiating his rival Dranu' liie
style and color of the packages IN WHICH tne
wares are sold, and also by throwing out 10 tue
public the bait of cheaper price, he diverts the
revenues of his victim into his own pocket
So great have become the depredations OF
these land buccaneers that American manufact-
urers are now asking for national law whlch
shall make the imitation of trademarks penal
offence A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington which provides that the maker of goods
which are articles of interstate commerce and
which bear labels in imitation of other brands
shall be liable TO $1,000 fine or Imprisonment
for two years or both. The manufacturer VINO
6eeces the public by means of a counterfeit
label is as much swindier as the green goods
man or the gold brick fnancier. IT. as the ad-
vocates of the bill assert 1t Will be supporter Dy
the courts as constitutional, it should be passed
Caution in respect to its scope, however, is alb
solutely necessary. The law Of 1876 winch
made trademark counterIeiting penal offence,
was overthrown by the courts the ground
that it infringed state rights.
Most of the states have statutes making trade
mark piracy criminal offence, but these laws
vary TO such degree and are so laxly enforced
that manufacturers say they afford them little
protection. They also point out that nearly all
European countries have national laws like the
one they want enacted by Congress, and that
even In China there is law providing that one
guilty of this offence may be imprisoned for one

been so great as to deserve enthusiastic emuia-

difference between New York and New-Hamp-

in the Union and one of the smallest ana Pc

lar treatment of any other of our forest pre-

GAS METERS.
Hills.

The gas men of the country had verbal enter
tanment in this city few days ago. Ihe9 were
honest gas men, too. although numerous slndlt
Alexis would have us believe that there amt
no SIGH thing" Instead of calling themselves
"The Altruistic Gas Association OF America
they came here openly as The Natlohal ooln-
mercial Gas Association" and with the avowed
purpose of promoting gas sales. 1t was the
first convention of the kind ever held The
delegates were of course, men of rare courage.
and it is to the credit Of New-lork that they
returned home uniniured People here respect
the law regardless of their feelings
Able papers were read on various topics and
there were numerous heart to heart talks on
the business of making and selling gas-that Is,
gas for lighting, heating and cooking Inc KIM
used by politicians, book agents and insurance
men is not listed. But it was great dlsappolnt-
ment to millions of people that nobody dis
cussed the morals and ethics of gas meters, ana
The Tribune hereby suggests the topic for
next wears meeting with promise of liberal
space for a report of the discussion The sub
ject is a painful one TO many gOdly inclined
persons who are really ashamed to be guilty of
profanity or wicked thoughts If not too re
morseful to say anything In extenuatlon they
usually plead intense prOvocation That, now
ever. is poor excuse. No true philosopher
will lose his temper, even temporarily give
way to sin because of the prevaricatlonS or q
gas meter. The fact that the meter frequently
does its biggest stunts in the way of working
overtime while the house is closed suggests
possible clew TO the apparently erratic conduct
of these mechanical descendants of Anantas. 1t
is their nature TO be wicked and untruthful,
but they have been known TO show wonderful
modesty and circumspection while surrounded
by honest and uplifting influences. Eternal vigi-
lance is, however the price that one must pay
to have reasonable gas bills, because the mo-
ment that the meter is left without supervision
or company it becomes lonesome and must do
something-and it usually does the house
holder.
What is needed is the appointment of COM
mission of experts and alienists to Inquire into
the whole subject and report fearlessy just
what the trouble is and what we may do to rem
edy or alleviate it. There are too many dipso-
maniacs in the world already, and we don't
wish to see their number augmented from the
ranks of gas consumers who might live and die
without serious blemish to lament if their
experience with gas meters did not cut the
bonds of self-restraint
