LAST BAR REMOVED
Between Grand Trunk Railroad and Wa
ter Front at Providence.

Providence, r. T., Dec. 22.--The last
bar between the Grand Trunk railway
and the Providence water front was
taken down last night when the board
of aldermen voted to allow the road to
lay tracks parallel to those of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
on Aliens avenue. There was but one
dissenting vote.
The common council voted two weeks
ago to allow the Grand Trunk to utilize
Aliens avenue, the only available route
to the harbor, but the aldermen re-
fused permission on the grounds that
the city was giving the Grand Trunk
perpetual franchise. The committee
on railways then took up the matter and
reported favorably on the petition last
night previous to the vote being taken
by the aldermen.

HELM the ultimate consumer about
about whom much is heard at cleo
ton time, they should bend their en-
argies in an eflort to stop the plum
dering of the sugar and coffee trusts
There does not appear to be any ie-
climate reason for the advance IN
these staples that has been made dur
eng the past two months except the
greed and rapacity OF the trusts. IL
ts pretty evident that the sugar trust
one of the worst offenders against
the law in this country, is making the
people pay for its own misdeeds. me
enforcement Of the antitrust laws
through the means of fines and penal
ties almost always results In the ul-
innate punishment Of the innocent
The trust has been fined heavily ana
has been forced by the government
to make restitution for much OF It's
Ill gotten gains. 1t has apparently re-
taliated by an increase in the tribute
that 1t exacts from the people.
While the people could doubtless
ret along without either sugar Or cot
fee, both articles are in such general
use that they have long been num-
bered among the necessaries OF life.
They are used by people Of all classes
and conditions Of life and the imposi-
ton Of increased prices adds mate
RALLY to the burdens of the poorer
oeople. The government should pro
eaed with all possible haste to the
criminal prosecution of these trusts
Fines and penalties do very vel
when they are imposed upon indlVld
mails but they will never be deter
rent against corporations. For In the
end a way is almost always found tt
make the innocent pay the fine Il
the people are not indirectly taxet
the innocent stockholders must pay
the fines imposed by reason OF the
maladministration of the crimina
officers. 1t is only by penal actor
that the trusts can ever be effectiyel!
curbed. If there ever was tfus
that should be criminally dealt witt
1t is The sugar trust.
