Another experiment is inevitable. The country has elected that it shall be made. But there is really no occasiom for the monometallists to differ as to details. So long as gold remains the only stand- ard, and gold drains are ever present or threatened, the endless chain will run on. oo GOV. STEPHENS ON FEES. Gov. Stephens has done a courageous and public-spirited act in sending. a spe- cial message to the Legislature, advising that certain State officials, now paid very , large sums under the fee system, should be placed on salaries instead.

LOUIS’ SEAPORT. ‘Money expended for the defense of Galveston Harbor will be well spent. Since the improvement of that harbor has made it possible for heavy sea-going ves- sels to reach the city front the danger of bombardment by a hostile fleet in time of war is greatly increased. Galveston is to be one of the greatest if not the greatest of the Gulf ports, all. of which the early years of the coming | century will increase in commercial im- portance. It will be to St. Louis what Havre is to Paris and Hamburg to Ber- lin, and what, in a more modified sense, Liverpool is to London. The purchase of the site of a fort is the defense of Galveston Bay. The work should be upon a scale commensurate with its importance. If we are to enter upon a system of sea-coast fortifications the Gulf ports should not be overlooked or neglected, . i In another column. of to-day’s Post- Dispatch will be found the full text of the anti-trust law recently passed unani- mously by the Georgia Legislature, and known 4s the Calvin Anti-Trust law. It was drawn by Hon. Martin V. Calvin of the Georgia Legislature, and, unlike anti- trust-laws hitherto passed, hag proved effective in curbing the Trusts. In the article containing the law will be found some interesting observations from Mr. Calvin’s letter to the editor of the Post-Dispatch in which he forwarded the copy of the law. Mr. Calvin calls attentiom to the fact that the law, from first to last, aims to keep alive free com- petition, which has so often been extolled as “the life of trade.” A large number. of Populists and some Democrats are be- ginning to excuse the trust because of its methods of organization, claiming that it is a step in the right direction, as it prevents some of the waste due to free competition. Thig view is not shared by the hundreds of small business enter- prises and the thousands of men they employ, who find themselves forced into bankruptcy and loss of employment by the power of the Trusts, and who, under this law, can again engage in business with hope of success, As it is evident that the Trusts can best be reached and controlled under State legislation, members of State Legis- latures and other public officials will do well to study carefully this Calvin Anti- Trust law and its workings. If it proves effective in one State, there is no reason why it should not do so in all. THE INDIANAPOLIS SPLIT. The only real difference between the business men and the Congressmen in the Monetary Conference at Indianapolis was as to the line on which the endless chain shall run, ’ Congressman Walker of Massachusetts, Chairman of the House Finance Commit- tee, opposes the cancellation of the green- backs. He meets the argument that so long as they are outstanding they will create a continuing and interminable de- mand for redemption out of the Treasury gold reserve by proposing that the de- mand shall be shifted from the Treasury to the banks with gold reserves. The business -men propose to stop the de- mand by destroying the Government notes and issuing bank notes in their stead. As long as gold is the only basis of all . own appointees to these offices. Had he named his appointees and then made the recommendations, he would have been justly accused of protecting his personal adherents and favorites at the expense. of their successors in office. As he makes the recommendation before naming these officials, this charge cannot lie, and he is entitled to the credit of a disinterested public service, The Legislature should respond prompt- ly to the Governor’s recommendation for two reasons, In the first. place, the rec- ommendation is a sound one, and it is undoubtedly approved by a vast majority of the people. In the second place, it is important to embody the recommendation in a law as speedily as possible, in order that the Governor may not be unduly delayed in making his appointments. And while the subjectgis up for settle- ment, the Legislature would do wisely if it went beyond the Governor’s recom- mendation and abolished the fee system in small cases as well as im large. The fee system is doomed wherever it exists. It has caused great injustice in the petty Courts that settle the differences of the poor and friendless. It frequently offers a premium on dishonesty and tyranny. It is unfair to the*community and unfair to the parties immediately concerned, It constitutes a perpetual temptation to overstep duty and practice fraud. It often gives a reward out of proportion to the services rendered, and sometimes when the payment of the fee means down- right robbery. It is the people who pay all public ser- vants, whether the payment is by salary or fees. The fee system is a makeshift sur- vival of the past. It cannot continue to exist in any well-ordered community, a, — —— Unfortunately all the Michigan legis- lative committees have two anti-Pingree men to one reformer, The State will therefore be no better off at the end of the session than it now is.

The Bamberger-Bloom building in Loults- ville, which cost about $200,000 a few years ago, has been turned over to the insurance company that held a mortgage on it for $100,000 in satisfaction of the debt. A block in Lexington that cost $72,000, was yester- day sold for $38,850. Thus does improved real estate boom in these glorious gold standard days. Serious Charge. From the Indianapolis Journal.

Written for the Post-Dispatch. ttle bunch of violets, A Sresh from the sunny South, So sweet that one almost forgets Me sweetness of the mouth That kissed them ere she bade them go, And sent them @ondly forth To mingle with the ice and snow Of the cold and dreary North. A little bunch of violets, As blue as are the eyes Whose tender glances wake regrets For days ‘neath sunny skies, When life was all a happy dream, And love a thing so dear That hope shone like a g6iden gleam Through heavenly atmosphere. A little bunch of violete— Alas! Their presence wakes A train of memory that wet The eyes with tears, and shakes The hand that fondles them, as pain Perturbs the heart that hears The tender thoughts that rise again To shame a world of cares!

The Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts has just awarded the Walter Lippincott prize of $300 to Albert Herter for his picture, **Le Soir.’’ King Oscar of Sweden, our umpire under the Venezuelan treaty, has more medals of honor than a champion bicycle-rider, but he only wears them on extraordinary occa- sions of state and when having his picture taken.

Stephen Crane’s recent experiences in an Atlantic storm lend a new interest to the fact that his latest contribution to the Philistine before sailing was entitled “‘The Men in the Storm.” The article is a char- acteristic portrayal of a blizzard in a great city.

He‘is introducing a line | of industry among his people in the South |! that will make his work felt not only by the colored people, but by both races. Prof. Hoffman is said to be a very competent man, and has a great field of usefulness be- fore him in his college work. WOMEN OF NOTE.

On with your good work, Bro. Jones! A Remarkable Financial Success. From the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger. Col. Chas. H. Jones has won in the Mis- souri Supreme Court his legal contest with Mr. Joseph Pulitzer over the management of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch property. This is a great piece of good fortune for the Democratic party of the Mississippi Valley and the entire country. There was no news- paper, ex-ept the New York Journal, that rendered the Democratic party such valua- ble service last year as the Post-Dispatch, Joy Throughout the State. From the Montgomeéry City (Mo.) News. The Supreme Court last week handed down a decision in the Jones-Pulitzer case deciding in favor of Col. Jones.

Johes will remain managing editor of the Post- Dispatch during the full length of time jof the contract signed by him and the principx owner of the paper. The News takes pleasure in congra ing Col. Jones on the outco and wishes for the Post-Dispaitch all the success imaginable. It is the jfonly- recog- nized metropolitan Democratic daily in the State, and should be in the hands of every friend of the common people. No More Than the Public Expectel. From the Vandalia (Mo.) Leader. The Supreme Court has decided the Jones- Pulitzer matter in favor of Jones. This is no more than the public expected. The Post-Dispatch will now be a better paper than ever. . Generally Approved. From the Monroe City (Mo.) News. The Supreme Court his decided the fam- ous Post-Dispatch case in favor of Col. Charles H. Jones and against Joseph Pu- litzer. We do not know much about *he law upon which the decision is based, but we know it is based on justice and/will be gen- erally approved. The Great Majority Will Rejoice. From the Osceola (Mo.) Democrat. Col, Charles H. Jones has won his case against Joe Pulitzer and will remain in con- trol of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Missouri Pleased. From the Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat. The people of Missouri will learn with pleasure of the action of the Supreme Court in deciding the Jones-Pulitzer case in favor of Col. Jones. It means that a contract ts binding, and that the policy of the paper will continue to be what it has been during the past year, A Refreshing Exception. yer the Springfield (Mo.) Leader-Demo- crat. In deciding the famous Post-Dispatch case in favor of Col. Jones the Supreme Court certainly did the right thing. Mr. Pulitzer made a plain contract and then tried to get out of it on trivial technicalities. The ten- dency of court decisions has been rather to uphold the Pulitzer manner of taking ad- vantage of technicalities, but this case af- fords a refreshing exception. Applauded Throughout the West. From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. The success of Col. Jones will be ap- plauded throughout the West. He is able, fearless and stanch, and his journal wields a powerful influence, The People’s Congratulations, From the Farmington (Mo.) Times.

Right on His Side. vem the East St. Louis (Ill.) Daily Jour- nai. Col. Jones of the Post-Dispatch has won in his suit with Pulitzer, after a very hotly contested legal fight, in which the most eminent and able counsel figured on both sides.

Col. Jones and energetic newspaper man, tant when a reunited Democracy may have the aid of his services. A Great Victory. From the La Plata (Mo.) Republican. The Supreme Court last week handed the decision in the Jones-Pulitzer case, deciding in favor of Col. Jones. This case has been in court for a long time, and the decision will be received with joy by all of Col. Jones’ friends. It thus es- tablishes the fact that Col.

Jones. has succeeded in defeating Pulitzer in the case of the St. Louig Post- Dispatch. The decision of the Supreme Court does not leave the New Yorker a leg to stand on.
