ARTIFICIAL ALARMS.

Major James. H. Dooley, of this
city, in the Times-Dispatch this
morning, presents a strong plea
for the innocent stakeholder of a
corporation subjected to punish
ment for violation of the law. He
suggests, as an instance, that the
Chicago and Alton railway may be
fined $30,000,O00 for granting
rebates to the Standard Oil Comp
any and that this huge sum would
be taken not from the men who
actually were guilty of the offense
and who committed it secretly
but from stockholders scattered
through the world who knew moth
ing of the transactions and prob
ably would have condemned or
resisted themif they been informed.
1t is rule of law, some times
unfortunate but always necessary,
that man is bound by the acts of
his agent. The stockholders of The
News Leader and Of every other
importantDewspaperinthe country
have been compelled by juries and
courts to pay heavily for the mis-
takes of reporters over whom they
had no direct control and of whose
doings they knew nothing. Stock
holders of banks have been COM
PEELED to pay, occasionally to their
absolute ruin, for the rascalities or
follies of bank officers. It's a hard
case, but it is law; and it is Justice.
Those who invest money expecting
to share porits must be prepared
to meet their shares of the losses.
if any. When we employ a man
to manage property or money for
US we hope to receive advantage
from his wisdom, his skill, his en-
ergy. When he is inconsistent or
a knave or does crooked things we
must expect to pay for our mistakes
and his. That is thesrule in every
business transaction, great or small.
and there is no escape from it.
We agree with Major Dooley that
1t would be better if the law could
punish personally the men who are !
guilty and allow the innocent to
escape. Yet the law not only i'm

chosen the directors who elect him. |
to make good to depositors.
In the case of the Standard Oil
Company, also referred to by
MAYOR Dooley, our symyathies re-
fuse to be around. The stockhold- |
ers are few and all these years
have been gathering enormous
profits. The holders of the major
ity of the controlling stock of that

Mr.. Allan Highly Complimented.

In commenting on the speech

formerly of Clarke county, mention
of which was made recently in the
COURIER, the Admission, Ala,
Evening Star says:
The feature of the recent re-
union of Confederate veterans al
Schenck's Springs was the mag
nifcent address by DIR. w. T.
Allan, of Jacksonville, delivered
Thursday,
AT the conclusion of the address
Hon. l.. w. Grant arose and moved
vote of thanks, which was unani-
mously and heartily given, for the
admirable address, to which the
audience had just listened.
DIR. Allan introduced his SUBJ
ject, which was a review of the
causes leading up to the great war
between the states, the history of
that conflict and It's final results.
with the statement that his purpose
was to make it educational to the
younger men-the sons of the
veterans.
He showed the South's loyalty
to the Constitution, insisting that
history sustained the statement
that the North only departed from
the provisions of that famous
document; that the Confederate
soldier fought for the constitution.
He spoke also of the women of
the Confederacy and of their sacri-
fees, closing with an appeal to the
young men to preserve the honor
able record of their fathers, who
poured out their blood in sacrifice
for their rights under the constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Allan had made great prep
paration for this speech, spending
three weeks in earnest search for
the facts that composed it. He
spoke for one and three-quarter
hours, holding the rapt attention
of his hearers to the close.,'
This also from the special cores

corporation must have known the
methods by which their profits
were being swollen by systematic
violation of the law. So far as the
railways are concerned, they are
less guilty. As we understand the
case, they we're taken by the throat
by the Standard and forced to allow
the rebates on penalty of losing
vast volumes of business. We do
not expect and the public does not
expect that the railways will be
published as the Standard has been.
We do not know that we would
care even TO see any general man
ayers, president or general freight
agents sent 10 Jail. We think the
trouble with many of those inter-
ested in corporations is that they
cannot see the difference between
vindication of the law when
corporations have violated it
and hostility against corpor-
atoms. They persistently at
tribute every enforcement of
the laws plainly written on
the statute books and every at
tempt to enforce them as an indica-
ton of intense bitterness and hos
tility. We do not believe there is
any such feeling among the masses
of the people of this country.
All the public asks, is that the
corporations be made to behave
themselves and to obey the laws az
others people do 1t is most as

villainous sneak thief put in the
dock. He assumes that he is pre-
secuted, that mankind is against
him, that society is his foe and
that he is denied fair chance in
life. Yet, while no honest and
law-abiding citizen is frightened
by the sentence imposed ON the
sneak thief, when Mr.. Rockefeller
is punished for violating the law
thousands of law-abiding men
forthwith begin to trembIe in their
shoes, we are told that public con-
fidence is destroyed and the prices
of securities in Wall street slump.
We cannot see the sense of apy
