The injunction SUIT Mr.. StuY-
vesant Fish has brought 10 pre-
vent the voting Of shares Of stock
ID the Illinois Central Railroad
Company held by the Union Pa
cife Railroad Company and other
corporations, promises to make
another airing in the courts Of cor
poration deyiItry, such as come
Of the insurance Investigations and
the revelations concerning the Chi
cago e Alton Road. The petition
Mr.. Fish filed through his attor-
neys charges violations and eva
sions of the law against railroad
mergers and also questionable
practices as well as fraud and false
pretense in alleged transfers Of
railroad securities. 1t il, for in
stance, alleged that up to this day
not one share Of the Illinois Cen
trail stock has been registered in
the name of the Union Pacific, but
stands in the name of the clerks
and brokers Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
The charge is also made that 49,
600 shares Of Illinois Central stock
belonging TO the Railroad Securi-
ties Company was transferred 81
few DAYS before the Illinois Cen
trail hooks closed, by a sham trans
action, to e. H. Hartman and
eighteen officials Of the Union Pa
cifc and Illinois Central, who are
under the control of Mr.. Har-
riman.
All of this and much more of
like character will be aired in the
courts and it will produce on the
public mind further distrust of
the men like Mr.. Hartman, who
manipulate the great corporations.
1t viii also bring further deter
animation that such practices in the
future shall be prevented as far
as possible by legal supervision of
corporate affairs.
1t is this kind Of dealing that is
largely responsible for the preju-
dice against corporation and gives
impetus to a radical spirit that is
often menacing to Legitimate bust
ness. The great corporations are
necessary to the proper conduct Of
the nations trade and industry,
but they too closely touch the pop
ular welfare to allow their man
agement to be affected by con-
scienceless spectators and men
who manipulate their properties
for private ends.
The Fish Injunction suit will also
probably develop the fact that
there Is now sufficient law to deal
with such offenses as the petition
charges and all that is needed is
its proper enforcement. Politi-
clans are too apt to take advantage
of an aroused public indignation
which revelations o corporate
wrong-doing may produce to urge1
extreme measures as hobby on
which to ride into Office. The peo-
pile are also sometimes too prone
to succumb to this manner of ex-
citation. A calm judicial spirit is
needed in dealing with such delin-
qencies. The public rights must
be fully protected, corporation
transgressions must be prevented
and punished. but this must not
be accompanied by fanatical spir-
it that would uproot industry and
throw a damper on enterprise. -

CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.
Controversy Over the Disposal Of
Wabash Bonds

The Supreme Court Of the United States
today granted the motion Of James Pollity
asking leave to file a petition for a writ of
mandamus directing the United States cir
cult court for the southern district of New
York to remand to the New Y ork supreme
court the case Of Pollity vs. the Wabash
Railroad Company, and made the rule re-
turnable April 8. The case grows out of
the controversy over the disposal of Wa
bash bonds of which Pollity Is a minority
holder. He alleges an unlawful conspiracy
for the disposal of the bonds, asks that the
proceedings be enjoined and seeks to have
the case tried in the New York state courts
rather than in the federal courts.

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. March 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady but at decline of HALL
points under aggressive bear pressure in re-
Spouse to lower cables and small English
spot sales. The local bears seemed to be
trying to uncover stop loss orders at the
start. and the fact that there was no forced
liquidation of consequence led to some COW
ering after the call. which was stimulated
by the moderate estimate for tomorrow re-
ceipts at Houston. Prices rallied 4 or 5
points on this buying, but the good weather
seemed to be against general demand and

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK. March 25.-It was assumed
In speculative quarters before the opening
of the stock exchange today that the rally
which began In American stocks in London
this morning would continue in our market
at least during the early trading Of today.
Those best informed have said for several
days that the short interest was so extern
sive that 1t would possibly bring about
very pronounced recovery at any time by
simply taking advantage of the technical
position OF the market. Conservative OBJ
servers. however. were not inclined to be-
come enthusiastic over the prospects of ma
teriaily higher prices in our markets today
and perhaps for several days this week.
They claimed that conditions have not ma
terially changed and that a sharp recovery
was likely to be followed by a sa8ginE- in
prices. such as took place after the pro-
nounced recovery on Friday and Saturday
q week ago.
In considering the general situation atten-
ton Is called TO the large dividend and In
terest disbursements which must be made
on or about April 1. In view Of the gener-
ally unsatisfactory condition of the money
market it Is not thought that large inter-
ests would be disposed to advance the stock
market materially at this time. If de-
cisiOn favorable to the Great Northern Rail-
way Company should be handed down by
this court this week in the stock issue case
1t would be necessary for the subscribers 70
the new issue to raise total Of $ls.OOO,OOO
on or before April 2, on that date their
installments of the new issue would be pay
able, unless in the meantime the company
should modify the date of the payment.
A banker familiar with the situation VINO
has been absent from New York for some
weeks, but who in the meantime has been
in touch with The sentiment throughout the
interior Of the United States, says that the
feeling against corporations and corporate
management Is as strong as 1t has been at
any time since the agitation against those
aggregations of wealth started. He De-
lieves that some time yet will be required
to overcome the present feeling.
X
Day by day conservative students Of the
financial situation utter words. of caution
against the danger of becoming too pessi-
mistic. They say that 1t should not be for
gotten for a moment that much of an UNI
favorable character must have been dis
counted in the tremendous decline in the
leading issues that has already taken place.

Sensational stories are In circulation as to
the alleged large losses by prominent inter-
ests in the stock market. A well-tnformed
operator in commenting upon this matter
said today that while undoubtedly many OF
the reports greatly exaggerate the actual
losses sustained, he believed that they have
been sufficiently large to materially ahect
the buying power In the market for some
time to come. 1t Is taken for a fact, on the
other hand. that the buying for investment
and this, of course, will be an important
factor, but not of sufficient magnitude to
stem the tide of a market such as that OF
the last three OF four weeks.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The opening Of another week showed no
change In the local market as far as could
be judged from the proceedings which took
place at today's meeting of the stock ex-
change. In fact, there was no market In
the sense Of the presence Of buyers and
sellers. as there was practically an entire
absence of both classes.
1t Is probable If sellers had appeared they
would not have meet with very cordial
reception. but the mere fact that they are
not factor in the market affords evidence
Of the strength Of local securities IN a
time when nearly everything of that char
acter seems to be forced upon the market.
At the present time the local market Is
having q rest and awaiting revival OF ac-
tivity in return of more settled con-
ditions in the money centers of the world
The announcement made today by the
Secretary of the Treasury allowing banks
to substitute for the old As, which can now
be redeemed. railway and municipal bonds
as a security for deposits Of public money
was received with much satisfaction by
bankers and others who are interested In
seeing money conditions rendered easier
than they are at present.
In the course of an article on the present
condition of the stock market the Wall
Street Journal today observed: The i'm
preston prevails that the liquidation in
Wall street must inevitably communicate
itself to outside business, because the same
influences which have caused the decline in
stocks should serve to produce a recession
in trade The really remarkable thing Is
the unwavering strength thus far displayed
by the industries of the country In the face
of the Wall street decline.
In spite of the fact that some Of the rail-
roads are reducing their expenditures for
improvements and extensions, no visible
impression has yet been made upon the
houses have been doing a larger business
this year than ever they did in the corre-
spending months of last year.
That there will be a recession there
seems to be every reason to believe, but the
question Is whether the pessimiSts are not
exaggerating the extent of this recession.
- = The business of the country Is In
such shape that it would seem as II moth
ing but serious crop failure would cause
a complete collapse.
wall street has had liquidation which
although no man can safely undertake to
predict how much farther 1t will go-has
already reasonably discounted the worst
that could happen 1t Is, therefore, not SO
much a danger to be faced as an experience
to be recovered from. The New YORK
stock market Is therefore like man VINO
has had an attack of typhoid fever and Is
still to 60 through the convalescent stage,
but is in fair prospect to be In better
health for the dangerous experience from
which he has suffered"

The MaIcontents.

The Hon. Judge John w Mason
uttered some philosophical remarks
the other day in discussing the
prayer for writ OF prohibition in
the case of benjamin F. Gaskins, of
Fairmont, who wants to run as an
"and-ring" candidate for council in
the trst ward of that city and the
Fairmont West virginian makes
some sensible expository comment
upon them. The remarks OF both
are particularly interesting to
clarksburgers as there are some
points that are especially applicable
in the present local political situa-
ton.
Judge Mason stated in in nearly
all political organizations there were
two rings. large ring and small
one, the latter being made up of the
erumblers and kickers and the for
mer of the men who do the party's
political fighting. He said we must
not shirk In doing our duty because
the cry of ring was raised, for that
cry is an old one.
The judge in speaking in this
manner uttered great truth, says
the West Virginian. A little obser-
walton will show that the malcon-
tents, grumhlers, kickers and disap-
pointed office seekers flock together
and strive to the utmost to defeat
the party They are the rule
or ruin element. The large
ring Is composed of the party work
ers, who believe in accepting the
rule of The majority. The small
ring wont do that. They are in
fact political anarchists. They won't
be ruled by the majority or in any
other way If they cant rule the roost
they seek TO tear It down and hunt
other places of shelter 1. Is so in
national and state politices and
equally true in local politics.
In nine cases out of ten the anti.
ring man is an migrate or sore.
head. He is unworthy of leader,
ship or confidence. He is the too
of any following that will support
him. He will run for office on any
ticket on any platform. All he seeks
is revenge; all he wants is to "get
even" He tried to cover up his own
