and of the occasion. Prom the vocif
erous approval accorded Judge Trum-
bull's effort by the audience that packed
n
tlii1 columns of editorial space In Hie
Chicago papers devoted , to Its criticism i
ft Is safe to conclude that few people
Ifs.
were disappointed In their expectations.
s.Lt
The speech wns n great speech. That
LtO
much Is conceded oven by those who
tnke Issue with almost every sentence
Included In It. It wns a political
speech , hut not : i parllsau speech. It
would therefore have boon lo
lo nny atidleuco of Intelligent lo
who have the Interest of good govern
ment and the welfare of the whole poo-
pleat heart. The welfare of the people , In
111h
Judge TruinhuH's view. Is Identical with
the welfare of the laboring classes , and
ide
for this reason the bunion of his re-
marks wns directed toward the problem
of the employer and the employe. In
( his country , where great fortunes have ,
been so suddenly acquired and where
the greater part of the wealth Is con
centrated In the hands of a compnrn-
tlvc few. he thinks the evidence aIs
conclusive that the laws have hud
greater .consideration for the rights of
properly thiui for the rights of man.
This unnatural distribution of wealth
Is due , he thinks further , to legislation
favoring corporations at the expou.-r >
of the public , and Is to ho remedied by
withdrawing such of those favors ns
niv operating unjustly to the corporale
employes nnd the consumers of goods
dsr
turned out under the system of cor
porate production. These corporations
tire till created by law , and It rests with
Hie people , through their legislative
representatives , to so modify the law as
lo limit their power of acquiring prop >
erty , to Insist that the management
shall be vested In directors chosen by
bondholders mid employes ns well as
by stockholders , to provide that the
hem
profits shall bo divided among all con
tributing parties upon some equitable
principle.
On the subject of the encroachments
itsm
of Tutted States Judges upon the con
stitutional rights of the people , Judge
Tnimbull Is plain and outspoken. "Of
lute years United States Judges have , "
ho said , "assumed Jurisdiction they
would not have dared to exercise in
the earlier days of the republic. They
now claim tlio right to determine the :
extent of their Jurisdiction nnd enforce
snub orders as they think proper lo
make. These federal judges , like ii fi -
pers and miners , have for years tly
and steadily enlarged their Jurisdiction ,
and unless chocked by legislation they
will soon niidermlno the very pillars of
the constitution nnd bury the liberties
of the people beneath their ruin. To
vest any man or sot of men with
authority to determine the extent of
their powers nnd to enforce their de
crees Is of the very essence of despot- )
Ism. Federal Judges now claim the
right In take possession of nnd run the
railroads of the country , to Issue Injunc
tions without notice , and to punish for
contempt by duo and Imprisonment any
om who disputes Hiotr authority. It
h to bo hoped that congress when II
meets ' , will put sonic chock upon federal
Judges ' ( in assuming control of railroads
and ' Issuing blanket Injunctions and
|
punishing people for contempt of their
assumed ! authority , If this eotigress
does not do It I trust the people will
see to II that reprosoiitalivos nre chosen
hereafter who will.1 There can be no
mistaking this ; language. .Tudgo Tniin-
bull , who carries with him an authority
fly equal to that nf any federal judge
that has : i.i yet parsed upon this ques
tion , clmructci'lKcs the conduct of the
Tnllcd Slates emu-Is as usurpation. lie
calls upon the same legislative bodies
which are to limit the powers of the
great corporations to at the same time
. .
clip Ilio wings of nvcramhlttdus courts.
Those two proposals nro the keynote
of this able jurist's ' speech. He could
not have struck a more popular chord.
It Is gratifying lo learn that Attorney
Coneriil Oliu-y. : is staled In a Washing
ton dispatch , is aware of the change
made In tlio law relating to trusts and
cimililnatloiis at Ilio last session of conn
grogs' and Ilia I ho proposes lo give the
matter careful cniisldoratlon. AccordIng -
Ing ; to this iiiformalloii the attorney
general thinks It Is dt'slrable to await
the derision ( if Ilio supreme court in
the onso against tlio Ktignr trust under
the Sherman anti-trust law before be
ginning now prosecutions under the
new law. Tills ruse was Instituted
against the American Sugar Itefinlng
company in oounecilou with its pur
chase or absorption of the Philadelphia
rolltiorles and the government wns
beaten In Ilio lower court. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court and
Itm is Mild that the attorney general lias
unsuccessfully endeavored lo have the
case advanced on the docket , but It Is
understood Hull II will'be argued on
the l.ltli of this month , KO that n de
cision from Die highest judicial tribunal
may lie expected within the next two
or tluve mouths.
There IH. perhaps , no just ground for
fanlt-Iiiiding with the attorney general
so far ax this particular case Is con
cerned. It may bo- admitted that ho
has done his duty In Instituting pro
ceedings against the Sugar trust in the
matter of absorbing refineries on the
ingi
ground that such n course wns in
restraint of trade and free competition.
Hut I Is if necessary that the attorney
general should halt at this or that ho
si cuntlnc his attack on monopoly
to t ( this ono combination ? He brought
this nctlini under the anti-trust law
enacted by the Fifty-first congress n
law which he himself has olllclally de
clared to be defective ami Inadequate.
It follows that ho does not expect a
decision adverse to ( lie trust , . The
new tarllT law contains a provision
which , according lo high democratic
authority , Is thk- most stringent antl-
t |
especially Intended to reach the Sugar
trust , thong ! } It applies to others. , This
law is being ylcdated every day , nnd
there docs not seem to be nny valid
reason why the attorney general should
put 'off'efforts lo enforce this now law
until the supreme court has rendered a
decision in a case brought under a
previous statute which the chief law
ollicer of the government lias declared
lo be Itisullioloiit.
However , inasmuch as a decision of
the supreme court in the pending case
may be expected within the next few \
months , criticism should , perhaps , be
held in abeyance until that Is handed
down , but in the meanwhile It would 1
seem to be the duty of the attorney gcn-
oral to get ready for n vigorous en
forcement of the law after the decision
on another line than that of the case to
be passed upon.
/JH.VOriM TIC CAWAIOX.t
The democratic : campaign In lown ,
which was opened last week by ex-Gov
ernor Holes , does not promise to bo par
ticularly lively or aggressive. All the
Indications thus far are that what re
mains of the democratic party In the'
Ilawkeyo state Is not ( Hied with a 1
hearty steal and enthusiasm , but , on the
contrary. Is uncommonly apathetic nnd
Indifferent. Since the sound whipping
the democracy received last "your , under
the leadership of tlio man It had come '
to regard as Invincible , the hope of the
party has not been growing , and with
all thn I has happened In the meantime
to produce disaffection and disintegra
tion there can be no surprise that Iowa
democrats show no interest in the con-
test. Of courtso it may be said by way
of apology that so far ns the state
.
ticket Is concerned there Is not much nt
stake , but there Is party organization >
and party prestige at stake , at any rate ,
nnd these tire generally esteemed to be
worth fighting for. Indeed , the demo
cratic campaigns In all the states of the
north nnd west have reference almost
wholly to preserving these as far as
possible , If the Iowa democracy seems
more depressed and disheartened than
the party In most other states It Is because -
cause It has more recently experienced
.MlS
the debilitating nnd demoralizing effects (
of defeat.
The speech of ex-Governor Holes
opening the campaign was characteris
tic nnd therefore a deliverance the
fallacies nnd sophistries of which the
republicans will have no difficulty In
exposing If they care to do so , though
It Is perhaps unnecessary. The voters
of Iowa do not want nny other argu
ment than the experience of the last
eighteen months.to point them to the
course to take In order to promote their
Interests nnd welfare. They know that
when the democratic party was elected
to the control of the national govern
ment the country was more prosperous
than nt any previous time In Its his
tory , and Iowa was enjoying Its full
slime of this general prosperity. Kvpn
Governor Holes declared this to bo tlic
case In his last message to the legisla
ture. They know that during the two
years preceding the election of 1802 the
Industries of the country were In active
operation and labor was well employed
and well paid. They know that In uo
other two years of our history were so
-J- . . - f-ii.-JU * _ * . _
many now , pumifactur1ng
stinted or HOfgueat progress mnde In In

ns soon an joiuoernllo ] [ mtccess was as
sured a bllgMf fell upon the. e linnpy con-
dltloiiH ; nnd 'tbiit ' rvrti lieforo the dMno-
orntlc pros ! dfu in had tnken his seal the
lido ' ot dcrWvsslon and distrust wns
spreading over xiie country. They know

and ractorlcHi Him I down or curtailed
operations atid , toiis. of tlniusnnds of
wage earner1.11 * ft'ore thrown out of em
ployment. 'And1 tlu-y know that Iowa
has had lior full share of this general
disaster , for every man of them has had
a : personal 1 part in It. In the face of
such itraetlcal facts and personal ex-
perk'iieos the rold-bloodod theorizing of
Mi Holes Is adding Insult to Injury nnd
lt would seem that its effect must be
toMil further weaken Instead of strength
ening the party.
The prospect of n swooping republi
can victory In Iowa mi November (5 (
could nut be more favorable than it Is
at this time. It is confidently predicted
tin
roprosontntlve | In congress they now
have. Hayes from the Second district ,
though It Is possible tliey will pull
through there by n small margin. There
iswl no doubt that all the other districts
will elect republicans by nn Increased
vote. :
It Is to be observed that Great Britain
Is applying no contract labor law to
the tin workers whom the Welsh maun-
facturers are 'endeavoring to persuade
to return to that country from the
t'nlted States. So anxious nre these
manufacturers to take away from their
American competitors services of
men who liavo had experience In the
business that they are not only guar
anteeing them employment when they
reach Wales , but also offering to pay
the expenses of their journey across
the ocean. Skilled -artisans who are re
garded na of such value to the Welsh
manufacturer must be of equal value to
Hie American manufacturer. Wo did
everything In our power to encourage
them to come to this country. Unless
we do something lo induce them to
stay the attractive offers from abroad
will be apt to take many of them away.

There Is nothing In the constitution of
New York to prevent a citizen from becoming
ing- governor tlic third time. Neither does
the United States constitution contain any
such law affecting the presidency. Hut It
la well remembered that the cry of third-
tctmlsm was ralsetl with Instant effect
against Grant nt Chicago In 1880 , and It Is
well known that the enemies of the presi
dent have already raised the same cry
against Mr. Cleveland , who by many people
Is regarded as the "logical candidate o
his party In 1SSC.
Not a few of these enemies of Cleveland
are friends of Hill. It Is , then , pertinent to
Inquire what effect the acceptance by their
leader of a third-term nomination may
have upon his and their attitude toward
the president , In case ( he letter's name
shall come before the next- national demo
cratic convention. 1'erhaps the third-term

ground that In th absenceof a , law govern
ing such cases , the established rule of In

reason that ns a matter of public policy ,
a murderer should not be allowed to Inherit
