LAWS root ON THE TRUSTS.

r OUR large packing companies that were
fined in the Federal Courts 5000 each
for obtaining rebates on through bills OF lading
from Kansas City to European points, the cases
having been tried last April have lost again on
an appeal TO higher court
The previous Judgment has been sustained by
the United States Court OF Appeals. sitting at ST.
Paul Wisconsin. All the technical objections
and points raised by the defence were brushed
aside, and the court laid down a rule that the
giving or receiving Of rebate or concession
whereby property in Interstate or foreign COM
merce is transported at a lower rate than the one
legally filed and published is a continuous crime,
adjudicable in any court in the United States
having jurisdiction OF any district through which
the transportation is conducted
1t is probable that the packing companies will
carry their case to the Supreme Court of the
United States but there is little reason TO believe
that there will be reversal OF judgment. The
decision of the court in Wisconsin will apply to
the cases against the Sugar Trust and the Stand
ard Oil Company, which have been sentenced to
pay heavy financial penalties. All the trusts in
volved will doubtless fight to the end, as the de-
cisons OF the lower courts, so far, shocking
to them. They have been so accustomed to see
ing everything done to suit their own fancy that
ii is hard for them to realize that the government
and the legal machinery of the country are larger
than are the trusts. But they may learn that les
son after awhile
The enforcement of the law against rebatng
strikes a heavy blow at the trusts. The power
and wealth of the latter have been built upon
largely through rebates and determinations they
have been enabled to force from the railroad com
panies.

ppEmInM ON DISHONESTY.

THE apparent fact that clerk OF New York
i trust company succeeded in looting the
institution of more than million dollars worth
of securities before he discovered, will strike
most people as remarkable. The officers OF the
bank as yet are doubtful as to the real amount OF
his peculations and there was evidently con
spiracy in which others besides the looting clerk
were concerned. In big institution like the
New York one, it would seem almost impossible
that such pilfering could go on without prompt
discovery.
The ingenuity Of man in safeguarding the care
of other peoples money even now and then, is
baffled by the dishonesty OF an employe. 1t is
fair to presume that the usual caution was OBJ
served in the bank but this robbery illustrates
the folly Of entrusting to any one man such vast
sum OF securities.
It is assumed that some person has to be relied
upon as honest but certain New York banks are
really putting premium upon dishonesty when
they permit a single employe TO have the unre-
strcted access to fortune that does not belong
to them.

ONE DAY FOR CITY AND STATE.

THERE has been considerable hubbub over
4 the proposed Delaware and the proposed
Wilmington day at the jamestown fair The in
terest chiefly is in Wilmington. The papers in
the rural parts of the State are saying little about
the States representation at the exposition. 1t
seems to THE JOURNAL that out Of all the
discussion the better plan would be to have one
day for the city and State.
While Delaware is near Virginia, it is doubtful
if sufficient number of people will attend the
exposition from this State on separate days, to
make a creditable showing Then again, if it is
proposed to make Wilmington day an occasion
Tor junket, at the expense of the taxpayers, it
would be well TO go slow.
With a combined day. Wilmington and the
State together, it is probable that Delaware could
be httingly represented at the exposition; other
wise it might be that both Wilmington and Della
Bare day would be failure.

REVISION OF THE ASSESSMENT

ONE Of the trying positions OF cily once 'o'u-
" ers is membership on the Board OF AS
sessment Revision and Appeals. The task Is
difficult at best. because its duties concern di-
rectlv the pockets of the people. Men usually do
not wish to pay more tax than they are compelled
TO do. The assessment of property requires rare
Judgment and tact There are so many oppor-
tnnities for discrimination and favortism and,
indeed, one OF the chief complaints IN municipal
government is the method Of assessing property.
The Board of Appeals of the city has completed
its work, and it is gratifying to note that there
were fewer, by far, appeals from the assessment
than there were last year The people generally
are satisfied with the valuations placed upon their
properties Most OF the appeals were from own
ers of smaller properties. And this is natural be-
cause the smaller dwellings are usually rated at
their full value. while the larger ones are assessed
at below what they would bring in the market
This in itself is the essence of injustice, and the
smaller property owners should be unremitung
in their efforts to secure fair and equitable as
sessment.
Now that the assessment is finally completed
the CITY Fathers will rack their brains over the
tax rate. Il is expected that they will be able to
keep the rate as at present Any increase would
meet with much opposition as il is felt through
ont the city. that the present rate is high enough
for all needs provided the government OF the city
IS economically administered The city will re-
ceve an additional income from the public ser
vice corporations-not so much as the council
men had a right to expect,-thanks to the grip
OF the corporations upon the State Senate The
councilmen should try to worry along with the
same rate. hoping that the agitation to increase
the city's income from sources other than real
estate. will finally meet with the success that it
deserves.

the opportunity TO boost his friend,
Judge George Gray, Of Delaware, as
the next Democratic presidential nomi-

in Baltimore who We're willing t.
assist him. II was pointed out that
Judge Gray was "safe 3nd sane" and
that the business element Of the coun-
try might not be willing to back Will

nomination.
1t IS understood that Senator Davis
gave his Baltimore friends assurance

BEAUTIF1ED ST. ANDREWS.

The rector the Rev Mr. Wells and the con-
gregation of ST. Andrews Church, at
Eighth and Shpley streets, are to be congratu-
lated upon the beautfying of the interior of that
edihces ST. Andrews is one of the landmarks of
Wilmington with long and honorable history
For many years it was the home church of the
late venerated Bishop Lee. Despite the trend of
population from the neighborhood, St. Andrews
has held its own, and still occupies the position
of one OF the foremost churches of the diocese
Rich in historic tradition and long the house of
worship for some of the best people of the city
every one feels a kindly interest in ST. Andrews
The church, in its interior has been marked BY
extreme simplicity, in striking contrast with most
of the Episcopal churches OF the day as the ten
dency more and more is to the ornamental.
ST. Andrews, on 1.esday evening, presented
a most pleasing appearance, and the immense
congregation that gathered to take part in the
service of benediction, must have been gratifying
to the bishop the rector and the congregation.
