LOCAL MONOPOLY PROSECUTIONS.

Governor McGOvern has just vetoed bill passed
by the Wisconsin Legislature, to give the attorney
general of the State much larger control OF anti
trust prosecutions under State laws. Under the old
system, the local prosecuting authorities, county by
county, conduct such cases, in the circuit courts OF
the State 1t proposed to place general author
y to manage such in the hands OF the attorney
general with power to employ his own assistants and
generally control the situation. The governor pro-
tests that local management of such affairs is best
and that in giving the attorney general such power
there would be danger of extravaganza.
1t may be doubted whether the governor has
taken the wiser course In recent years It has come
to be realized that the great evils of monopoly and
prlce-fXing combinations are imposed on consumers
in very great part by small, local combinations OF
tadesmen and purveyors. Some Investigations by
Government departments and others by State author
tiles have made this very plain. combination of
fruit dealers, or grocers of produce vendors, of
plumbers of almost unnumbered other trades and
llnes may be found in half the towns in the country
probably more. These, it has repeatedly been
pointed out, commonly exact the most burdensome
impostons that the public must pay. They are the
means by which the middlemen are enabled to take
so much for their service; by which the public is
compelled to sustain in many cases unduly nu-
merous and expensive corps of mddlemen to wait
upon it.
These purely local combinations are found in ex-
perence to be well-ngh immune to prosecution by
local officials. They influential Their men,
bers are the best people"-"the business commun-
ity" The local prosecutor is too close to the indi
vidual members, their social, personal and political
influence is too great; even juries are found loath

date of the law.
The attorney general of one State few years
ago declared that if people would testify under oath
tc the facts that they narrated in his office, he could
send to Jail the officers of State organization Of
plumbers another of wholesale grocers, another Of
produce Dealers another of grain buyers, and so on.
But the people would not testify This attorney gen.
eral moreover had to operate largely through local
prosecutors over whom he had no authority what
ever and he declared that the fact made the State S
antitrust law practically worthless.

CORRECT, MR.. M'CALL.

The Hon. Samuel w. Mccall has asked that
petitions in behalf of his nomination for governor Of
Massachusetts, be no further circulated He makes a
statement which, in substance, is that he doesn't
want to be nominated because he doesn't want to
be nominated; and that if he did want to be nomi-
mated, he would be willing to be nominated Which
is a mighty fetching way of putting it.
Further, Mr.. Mccall confesses to doubt whether
there is any uproarious popular demand for his
nomination. Correct. There not only is no popular
demand for his nomination, but if he should be
nominated, and then during his campaign his voting
record of unparalleled toryism, while in Congress,
should be duly exploited-which it would-he would
be the worst defeated man in the years running.

MIRACLE OR COMMON SENSE?

In considering the means by which Boston, in the
words attributed to its health commissioner, has
become practically hyless city, after campaign of
eighteen months we cannot fail to be struck by the
fact that it has merely done what any other city
could have done since the habits of the fly have been
understood.
Compelling the cleaning of stables every twenty
four hours and requiring the of covered garbage
cans do not harsh measures, or difficult to en-
force with the aid of the police. Both these serve
to deprive the flies of their most favorable breeding
places. If the disappearance of flies is miracle as
the commissioner says it would seem to be such
only because other city has reSorted to the simple
measures which have proved so effective in Boston.
We shall now have an excellent opportunity to
observe the effect of the absence of flies on the
prevalence of communicable diseases among a
population large Bostons. If it bears out what
previous experiments have shown and what prac-
tcally all santarians believe other cities will have
TO look far to find reasons why thev should not
follow Boston's example next spring.

M'ADOO A BAD SECOND.

Secretary McAdoo is giving the country S5o,Ooo,-
COO to move its crops, and has promised that he
could scrape up twice as much more for the same
use if it should be needed.
Some service for the farmers, that; but If this
fine oldstyle country rain is going on all over the
corn country it is doing so much more for the farm
ers than Mr.. McAdoo ever dreamed, that his measly
little S15OOOO,COO looks as mean as economy to the
author Of pork-barrel bill.

A POINT TO KEEP IN MIND.

As they enter upon the pleasant task of lmPea4h-
ing the governor of their State, the Tammany leglS-
lators at Albany are said to be in an angry and
Inundated mood. Thus keenly do they feel the
disgrace of their State.
Out upon all such bosh! This is the same legls-
lature that it was when betrayed its pledge to give
the State primary law.
1t is the same legislature that it was when II
chose between honor and Murphy and chose to
follow Murphy.
1t will be the same legislature after it shall have
removed Sulzer; and it will be twin disgrace to
its State. The bunConlbe can be spared.
