THEY WERE NOT JUDGES.
Mutual Compliments that Differed
Widely in Their Intent.

From the Boston Herald
During the last Bryan campaign George
Fred Williams met one day on the train
certain dignifed. punctili0gs, typical
gentleman Of the old school,, who IS
widely known as the author Of a leading
textbook Of the law. These two men,
then as now, entertained widely divergent
views regarding politics-and many other
matters. After some general conversa-
ton, Mr.. Williams remarked:
Mr.. -, l have heard in the course
Of my travels a great many very nearly
compliments for your book, and from the
highest sources. too. Indeed among
those l heard speak of il were two OF the
judges of the United States supreme
Court"
"Ah, indeed. sir" replied the other.
that is really most graufylng-most
gratifying And / may say, sir, that on
my own part, l also have heard many
words of high commentator Of yourself
and of your speeches uttered by numer-
Gus persons. But" he added, with a
most suave and disarming smile, Il re-
greet to say that none Of them were

 tlons, however, was fairly comprehen- slye and exceptions to advances of as much as a point might be more con Yenlently enumerated than the total list of gains.

The idefi- tlty or operators in some of the most active stocks demonstrated the. re-entrv into the market of many speculative pools, which carried previous move ments to a consummation and were supposed to have disposed of the heavy lines then accumulated. There was a marked revival of rumors which have laln dormant as active factors in the market during the reactionary period. IEus large attention was given again to the supposed revival of the Great Northern ore deal, as it is called The Full railroads were buoyant as in times past. The so-called lead merger prof. ect was brought forward again into at- tention. Buying of Colorado Fuel was alleged to be for the purpose of control or the United States Steel corporation. The long active pool in Reading was said to have resumed operations on the long side of the market, thus removing the depressing influence of that stocks weakness from the general market Thee were renewed allusions to the supposed important development in prospect in the affairs of the Amalga- mated Copper company and in the cop- per industry. A study of the distribu- ton of the days largest dealings and or It's widest advances will reveal how large a part influences of this charac- ter played in the days operations.

A OUEER LAW

Massac husetts has a law for the pro-
lection of traders. A dispatch from
Boston concerning a decision Of the
supreme court of that state UNFOLDING
the constitutionalty of the law ex-
plains that it prohibits the making of
a contract which would amount to I'M
fair competition against weak dealers. .
The case in which the Constitution
atty Of the law was upheld was in
brief this: An agent of the Con
tinental Tobacco company sold goods
to certain tobacco jobbers on terms
which were alleged to be more favor
able to them than to other dealers on
condition that the jobbers should deal
exclusively with the Continental COM
pany. The agent was tried on the
charge Of having made such contracts
in violation of the law in question and
found guilty.
He appealed to the supreme court on
the contention that the law was un-
constitutional. The dispatch referred
to briefly states that the supreme
court "holds the statute is constitu-
tional, its design being to prevent
monopoly of the market in any line
The Massachusetts law does not ap-
pear to be directed at monopolies or
trusts but rather at the freedom of
contract. If it had been passed by a
Kansas legislature, doubtless it would
have been subjected to the severest crit
icism by the press of the Bay state
and the east generally.

the Wall Street Journal has this to saw:
1t is estimated that John D. Rookie
Teller has received in dividends from his
snare of Standard Oil stock s114, OOO, 600
since 1898. This is probably a moderate
estimate.
It is at the rate of about s14.o 200 a
year, or nearly 1900 every business
day If Mr.. Rockefeller should ado,1t
the rule of giving a tenth of his income
TO charity, this would mean a disburse-
ment OF 81, 1000 O0- It cannot be doubted
that Mr.. Rockefeller's annual phtlan-
throw amounts to much more than
that. But his Standard Oil dividends
are only a part of his income. for lis
outside investments must be enormous.
and large as are his charities. the ba,-
ance left for reinvestment is so great

made the object Of envy? Shall it be
made the object of laws the intention Of

JOKER Is FOUND

Congressman Townsend, one of the
authors of the first rate-axing bill, the
one that furnished a serviceable basis
for the much more comprehensive and
finished bill now in conference, has
discovered what seems to be a real
joker in the latter.
The author of the joker is Senator
McCumber, and how he managed to
evade the vigilance Of the strenuous adj
vocates Of the narrow or limited review
principle is a mystery
The McCumber amendment changed
one short word in a vital paragraph. As
the bill originally stood, it provided that
in the event of failure on the part of a
defendant carrier to obey rate order
Of the commission, proceedings to en-
force the order might be brought in the
circuit court, and that if it should ap-
pear, after such hearing as the court
might deem necessary, that 1.-The order
was regularly made and duly served, .
the proper decree should be issued COM
pelling compliance with it.
Senator McCumber had the word
regularly changed to- lawfully"
THE change is undoubtedly material, .
says the Chicago Record Herald, 'and,
according to authorities like Spooner, it
might prove vital, not to say fatal"
Continuing, the Record-Herald says:
An order is regularly made when
the tribunal did not overstep the limits
of its power in making ft-when it is not
ultra wires. and when the prescribed
forms were duly observed. The word
regularly was used by the trainers
Of the Hepburn bill deliberately and
with full appreciation of the value OF
the right word in the right place.
To require the circuit court to satisfy
itself that an order disobeyed was law
fully made, Mr.. Townsend fears, may
amount to the comforting of the broad
est kind OF review jurisdiction on that
tribunal
Now, the Allison compromise amend
ment, as everybody supposed, settled
the controversy over the question of
judicial review as far as congress was
concerned. The McCumber change was
wholly gratuitous and unwarranted. 1t
was smuggled in, apparently, when the
senate was busy with the radical
