mSSOURVS ANTT-TJW8T LAW
The officials of Missouri have taken
the first stops to enforce the provis
ions of the antitrust law Proceed
ings have boon oomraoncod against
moro than eight hundred corporations
by the secretary of stale , their charters -
tors have been ofuuially revoked and
their right to transact bnslnoss in the
state annulled The list Includes cor
porations of every grndo and character ,
both homo nnd forolgn The suspen
sion ot their charters , oven temporar
ily , cannot fail to sortously embarrass
many If not most of them
The object of the law is to prevent
nny corporation , connootod with trusts , .
doing business in Missouri A combina
tion between corporations or Indi
viduals , "to rcgulato or fix the prlco of
any article of morchandlso or com
modity , " or any pool ngrcomont or con
tract , with this end in vlow , is pro
notincod a conspiracy to defraud , and
all pnrlios thereto arc subject to indlct-
mont , iranrisonmont and heavy fines
Corporations are required to report
annually In the form of affidavits that
"no part of their business was merged
with any trust , combination or association
ciation" in doflnnco of law
Thcro nopenrs to have boon a con
certed notion on the part ot the corpor
ations to ignore the law and
test Its validity In the courts ,
With this end in view several foreign
'
corporations have invoked the power
of the fodornl courts to prevent the
state from annulling their charters
The result will bo wntchod with con
siderable interest The issue will turn
on the right of the state to enforce com
pliance with laws enacted fortho public
good , The Now York courts have recently -
contly aOlrmod that principle in the
sugar rcDnory cases The United
States supreme court confirmed the
right of states to regulate common
carriers within their boundaries It
is dillioult to see how the Mts-
Boiii'l corporations can escape state reg
ulation They are the creatures of the
state They could not do business in
the state without its assent The ac
ceptance of n ehurtor implies obedience
tolaw It docs not nffoct the right of
the state to abrogate the privilege
granted whenever the grautoo falls to
comply with the roasonnblo provisions
of the law "
Tliero is nothing in the Missouri anti
trust law injurious to legitimate cor
porations It aims to crush out pools
aud trusts , and any corporation that
can not make oath that it has not entered -
tored into a combination to regulate
prices and limit production virtually
confesses to a conspiracy against the

LJIS'JKOVR AND CONVICT LAlOR
Mr G.V. . Liningor ought to explain why
ho voted for the convict labor steal when
he was a momburof the legislature irorld-
Ilcrald
Mr Lininger is a very accommodat
ing gentleman Ho iB not at all back
ward in explaining his record on the
convict labor bill Mr Liningor was
moat decidedly opposed to the convict
labor steal , and he made no secret of
his opposition When the bill was be
fore the senate committee of the whole ,
Mr Liningor talked und voted against
it When the bill came up for final
passage , ho placed himself squarely on
record against it , as will bo soon by the
olllcial reuorts of the proceedings on
page 720 of the senate journal ot 1887 ,
which rouus as follows :
House roll 170. A bill for an act extend
ing the contract tor loading penitentiary and
convict labor ; was road the third tlmo This
bill having been road at lurge on thrco differ
ent days , and the same with all its amend
ments having been printed , the question
being , Shall the bill passi"
The roll was called and these voting in the
negative were ; Mossrs Dunn , Puller , Hlg-
cins of Cass , Keckloy , LININGEU , Majors ,
Sprick , Sterling , Wright 0.
Mr Lininger offered the following explan
ation ot lifs vote :
"I am opposed to the bill :
First The time is too long
Second Jam opvosed to the contract sys
tem "
This explanation ought to satisfy the
Worhl-lfaahl. Nextl -
DECLINE OF HANK CmcOLATWN
The annual report of the comptroller
of the currency has its chief interest
for the general public in the attention
It calls to the steady deelino of the na
tional bank circulation and the urgent
necessity there is for legislation by
congress to prevent the total axtinction
of this circulation The mattar Is of
very great Importance to the financial
and business interests of the country ,
and indeed to tho'wholo people , and
it is cause for regret that the comp
troller , who is a practical banker ,
had no plan to recommend to congress
for chocking the retirement of bank
notes Various plana have boon from
tlmo to time suggested , most of them
wholly impracticable and inexpedient ,
and none without serious objections ,
und this divorslty of ideas appears to
have led the comptroller to conclude
that the national banking system would
bo host protootod from the danger of
delay by not considering nny propo
sition lookiug to the * adoption of un-
trlod measures Ho rooommonds a
reduction of the tax on circula
tion , whioh would give Bomo
rollof to the bunks , but would hardly bo
popular , und also favors reducing the
interest on osiating bonds to two and
one-quarter per cent by the prepayment
to hold ors of the dittoi-onco between
that rate and the four per cent interest
bonds now carried , a debatable proposi
tion to which the bondholders would be
the chief objectors * >
The shrinkage in the bank circula
tion would have nlroady proved a seri
ous matter to the business of the
country if the loss hud not boon
supplied by the issuance of b1- !
vor certificates , and there is still
this socurlty agaiust danger in the im
mediate future But it is a serious
question whether It would bo oxpodlont
to ropluco the outiro y.olurao of bank
notes with ellvor cortifleutes It is
highly probable that it this wore done
the national systum would soon bo
abandoned , and the banking of the
country would bo carried on under
6talo laws The comptroller of the cur
rency notes Hint there is a growing
tendoiioy to incorporate under the
etntutos ot the several states , duo to
the fact that uo profits result
to banks from * the deposit of
bonds nnd the issue ot circulating notes
This tondonoy will Increase It the , un
favorable conditions now imposou by
the government shall bo continued ,
with the probable result that within
the next ton or fifteen years all the
banks of the country will bo state insti
tutions , ultimately issuing notes of
variable value ns currency beyond the
limits ot the states in which they are
issued It need not bo nrguod that such
a condition , with its demoralizing-pos
sibilities , is to bo avoided if pos
sible There is no better form ot
paper curronoy than adequately secured
bank notes , as nn experience of twenty
flvo years with the national system has
most conclusively demonstrated , nnd
the quostlon which congress will bo
called upon to determine is how this
form of curronoy Bhnll bo maintained
with absolute safety to the public nnd
in Bufllclodt volume to satisfy the legitimate
mate rcqulromonts of business The
urgency with which this question is
pressing for solution is Bhown by thd
facts in the report of the comptroller of
the currency
TUB PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS
The proceedings in the Pan-Amori-
can congress thus far have shown that
the foreign delegates generally are a
very practical sot of mon , who take a
serious view of the work they are on-
gngod In Having graciously accepted
the hospitality of the nation and on-
joyoa it , they are not , therefore , the
less disposed to vigilantly and carefully
guard the interests they roprcsont
They have not boon allured or flat
tered ' "by our good treat
ment of thom into actopting un-
qucstioningly every proposition wo
have had to present On the contrary
they insist upon knowing the reason
for all proposed measures , and of weigh
ing thorn carefully and thoroughly , and
having done so they show ontlro independence -
pendonco in reaching a conclusion
They appear not to bo the least bit over
whelmed by our grcatnoss nnd Impor
tance , but act with quite as much de
liberation and freedom from restraint
as if the United States were the least ,
instead of being the greatest among
American nations
Very likely this is somewhat
disappointing to our own representa
tives , and to certain interests which had
hoped to bo ublo to commit the congress
to cut-and-driod vlows and rocomtrrenda-
tions There can bo no doubt that the
idea had somewhat obtained that these ,
foreign delegates , after having seen the
evidences of our prosperity and power ,
would bo easily influenced to uccopt al
most anything the representatives of
this country might propose Perhaps the
assumption was not unnatural , but at
any rate it has been shown to
nave been ill-founded. Our represen
tatives have learned that the foreign
delegates are not only a highly Intelli
gent body of men , but very independ
ent , folly appeeiating their position and
advantages , and while seriously desir
ing to ofteet more favorable conditions
for improving-commorcinl relations bo-
weon American countries , vigilant and
zealous in guarding the inter
ests of their respoctlvo countries
against any undue sacrifice - In
'
a word , our visitors are thor
oughly wide awake mon , and any at
tempt to pull the wool ever their eyes
is pretty sure to fail They are here
for business , and very serious business ,
and until our representatives rcalizo
this aud conform their course to the fact
they cannot expect to accomplish any
thing Plans to play the congress in
behalf of special interests or policies
will certainly fail
Wo said when the congress assembled
that the quostlon whether any
thing practical would result from
it depended upon the policy
which should bo avowed on behalf of
the United States The fact to bo kept
In mind is , that wo are seeking the
trade of the countries to the south of
us , not they ours However much they
may desire to cultivate oloser commer
cial rotations with us wo cannot reason
ably expect that under existing circum
stances they will make any great sac
rifices to that end They ciro'clenrly in
a position to demand con cessions , and
if they cannot obtain them from us
they will from the countries of Europe
which now enjoy the greater part of
their trade Unless the United States
shall propose a broad and generous
commercial policy , under which the
countries of South und Coutrnl America
can bo assured of at least equal ad
vantages with these they now have , wo
sliall make little progress toward hotter -
tor trade relations with these countries
This is a purely practical , business matter -
tor , as to which this country Is not in a
position to dictate terms
JOHN D. JJOKE AGAIN
Mr John D. Howe avails himself of
the privilege which Tius Bkk always
has granted to all parties who dcslro to
discuss publlo questions , and makes
auothor appeal against the union depot
and viaduct proposition In so doing
Mr , Howe takes Tun Bee to task for
refuting , and ridiculing his rant and
fustian This is decidedly cool
Mr Howe goes out of his way to Insin
uate that Tim Bkis has been bought up
by the Union Pacific , and casts all sorts
of slurs upon its editor uiulor cover of
an assumed name
"
IIo makes assertions that are notor
iously false , and scoks to prejudice the
publlo against this paper and urray thp
community against the viaduct propos
ition Does Mr Howe protoud that
when Tub Buis grants the use of its
colums to anybody it bars its editor from
refuting falsehoods and resenting
slanders ? What right had Mr nowe
in the first place to impugn the motives
nnd integrity of this paper ? Why Is ho
of all other taxpayers in Omaha bo extremely -
tromoly noisy about this viaduct , and
depot project ?
Wo begin to suspect that ho is play
ing a part for the same corporation that
retained him to play antimonopoly
taxpayer during the session of
the last legislature During that
momorublo eossion Mr Howe ap
peared to be terribly worked
up ever the bill authorizing the consol
idation of the cable road with the horse
car Hues Ho circulated a printed address -
dross to the legislature in which ho
represented himself na n roprosontntlvo
of tlij ( taxpaviijjr citizens ot Omaha who
were In nrnH atnlnst the proposed con
solidation 1
This frnntTanpponl might have been
ofloctlvo htidn not lonkod out thnt Mr
Howe was atthat , tlmo the paid nttor-
noy ot the motor line , which was op
posed to consolidation unless its system
was included ih the deal
Mr , Howd's ' efforts to raise a revolt
ngalnst the viaduct and union depot
proposition haabout the same disinter
ested inspiration Mr Howe is ono of
the nntl-mononoly attorneys of the con
solidated Street car system That com
pany demands thnt the Union Pacific
nnd B. & M. railroads shall construct
the viaduct with cahlo trackngo free ot
cost to the street railway company , nnd
asks that the city Bhnll give it the
perpetual right-of-way along the
viaduot without cost , although the
city will bo at a continuous expense for
maintaining and guarding the viaduot
This is the milk in the Howe cocoanut
While ho is howling himself hearse
ever the Union Pacific monopoly and
its shnmoful nogloot of Omaha in years
past , his clients of the street railway
are threatening the dofout ol the depot
bonds if they are donicd vuluablo via
duct privileges '
So much ns-to Mr Howo's disinter
ested ranting But Mr Howe assorts
that Titi2 Ben refuses to argue with
him Tub Bine cannot hope to con
vlnco Mr Howe Its position with
regard to the propositions now
pending has boon clearly doflnod
It Is purely a question _ pf
expediency If Omaha votes down the
Union Pncifio proposition Thursday it
will place a club In the hands of that
corporation to dofoattho , brldgo bonds
next Tuesday Omaha will doubtless
continuo to grow slowly whether the
propositions carry or not But in com
mon with the heaviest taxpayers and
pcoplo most interested in the prosperity
of Omaha , The Bek believes that this
city can better afford to pay n , millioa
dollars Of bonus than to remain ns she
now is with an embargo on her com
merce that would retard her growth by
at least ten thousand population for
ovcry year that it continues
TnE state canvass of the returns of
the late election presents a few inter
esting figures On a straight test of
party strength the vote for regents
shows that the republicans have a plu
rality of twenty-iivo thousand ever the
democrats Add to this latter vote the
fifty-seven hundred cast by their allies ,
the prohibition ists , and there is loft a
clear republican majority of ever nine
teen thousand But while the repub
lican candidates for regents carried the
state by twonty-fivo thousand , Norvnl'a
majority for suprorub judge shows un
actual falling , off of six thousand ono
hundred andv,8ixtv-sovon votes In
view of the fact that there was no ap
parent opposition to Judge Norval in '
the republican party , the iierures demon
strate that th4rew was deep-seated dissat
isfaction among the republican masses

Judge Rces was retired from the bench
