ICE TRUST MEN FINED.

IN A Philadelphia court yesterday FIVE ice deal
\ ers pleaded guilty to a charge Of conspiracy
to maintain excessive prices last summer. They
were fined SIS and costs by the court. 1t was a
very mild sentence indeed, and of course was no
punishment at all, except a warning. If the
ice magnates know that they are to be fined a
trivial sum for such conspiracy, they can easily
REPEAT, their offenses and make the fines out of
the people who are forced to purchase ice. The
attorney for the defendants, however, announced
that the ice combine has been broken and will
not be organized again.
There is, however, some satisfaction in know
ing that this trust cannot raise prices with inn
punity, but that the promoters of such unlawful
combines are liable to be hailed before a court
The tendency in all the trust prosecutions has
been simply to fine those responsible for them
and there are grave doubts whether the simple
imposition Of a fine will halt the conspiracies OF
the trusts There has been much complaint Of
high or excessive prices. This one illustration
drawn from the admitted guilt Of the ice dealers
shows that, in many instances, excessive prices
are due simply to conspiracy on the part of deal-
ers and manufacturers to increase their own
profits and lay as heavy hand as possible upon
the consumers.

RAILROADS REDUCE
BAGGAGE CHARGES

Announcement has been made that
baggage rates will be reduced from is
to 70 per cent. OF the passenger fares.
This change is TO become effective at
once and win affect all lines In the
Central Passenger Association terri
tory. Railroad officials have been
figuring on this change for the past
three weeks. Previous 10 March 10
last, the excess baggage rate was 12
per cent OF the passenger fares, but
with the reduction IN passenger fares
made some time ago it was made IS
per cent. OF the new fare on certain
lines Now the - per cent rate is TO
be general. One or two OF the large
railroads did not advance the bag
gage rates and the charges on these
lines win remain the same.
IL was reported that all second class
passenger rates In the Central territory
viii be abolished in the near future.
The New York Central and the Penn
sylvania lines are said to favor this
plan. although the weaker lines are
opposed to II. The question has been
raised whether the railroads will no,
be compelled to maintain two classes
OF equipment IL they maintain two
rates of fare on their passenger trains.
Practically the only restriction now
placed on second class tickets is that
the holder cannot ride in a Pullman
car. He is not barred from patron
izing the dining car or riding in the
chair or parlor car.

THE WAY THEY DO IT.

THE recent report Of an investigation made
Il into the affairs of the Pullman Palace Car
Company which in additionto paying large dvi-
dends on its capital stock has accumulated sur.
plus Of S5,ooo,ooo OF earnings discloses the fact
that a system. has been in vogue with that COM
pany for many years Of giving passes and special
privileges to Judges Congressman, Legislators,
Governors and all Others in any way entrusted by
the people with judicial and official power Under
such a system is it any wonder that this great
corporation has been able TO be favored in courts
Of law, and in making laws and their enforce
menti Whatever construction the recipients of
such favors placed upon tlem the corporation
no doubt looked upon it as an expense, but in the
form of a bribe 10 those who would be expected
when opportunity would arise, to make adequate
acknowledgment and,return to the company. In
deed it was probably calculated to such fine
point that it was cheaper to bribs the thousands
OF judges and lawmakers than to pay just YER
diets in court and fair taxes through the passage
OF equable tax laws. et
The system OF the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany is one used by all railroad and public ser
vice corporations in almost every section of the
country The motive behind such system is
base and corrupt, and in nine cases out of ten
its aim and purpose is accomplished. There can
be no difference between an individual and pros
pective litigant in giving valuable presents to
judges than for the public service corporations
who are always interested parties in court, to do
so, and equally reprehensible is it for lawmakers
to accept such favors and be under obligation to
such corporations whose interests in the Legisa-
ture are generally inimical and opposed to the
rights and interests OF the people.

HOW CAN YOU HELP YOURSELF.

VAT + have assurances almost every day that
w our readers are deeply interested in the
welfare Of THE EVENING JOURNAL. The
plain people, OF whom Lincoln said there are so
many, the working classes, know that we are on
their side fighting for their rights and battling
against the wrongs and evils that oppress them.
We consider THE EVENING JOURNAL is the
peoples paper, and we run it in their interest 1t
is working for them as hard and earnestly If
they actually owned the property. Our readers
must bear in mind that newspaper is supported
by its advertising Those who make it possible
for THE EVENING JOURNAL to live, stand
up and fight for the rights of the people and that
which belongs to labor are the advertisers. Those
who do not advertise with us do not respect the
nearly $4,000 daily readers we have in this city,
have no interest in THE JOURNAL, its policy.
or the people whose rights it both champions and
defends. We therefore appeal to the friends and
readers of THE EVENING JOURNAL TO scan
carefully our advertising columns and whenever
they desire to buy anything to make it point to
patronze those merchants who advertise with
us and thereby help to support this paper. If our
readers will only stand by us as we stand by them
we will be able to accomplish much for them
