Bf e————— ¢ IT is about time the craze for legal holidays comes to an end. We doubt very much if such legislation is consti- tutional, at best it is foolish to the ex- tent to which it has been carried in the past ten years. Any person, or any set of persons, have the right to take as many holidays as there are week week days in the year, if they can af- ford it, but we question the right of any legislative body to force a holiday upon The many legal holidays are proving both an annoyance and a nuisance to who merchants any one, save the Lord's day. have or business men, with those with banks, other occupations, business Bo pt Ix the Circuit court Saturday, Judge Gibbons decided that the American Tobacoo company is an illegal corporation, being a tobacco trust, and issued an order prohibiting the company from doing business in Illinois. In his decision the judge says “No legal sophistry can even ob- scure the fact that when all or 95 per cent. of all the corporations, firms and persons engaged in the manufacture and sale of a certain article unite to- gether under one head and one man- agement the result must necessarily be a monopoly of that article.” ee rss cessmiosins THe new administration has not come near doing any of the many nice things promised. Its tariff scheme seems no go and it's better that it's so since the Dingley bill is an abomination with nothing to recommend it ; it got over 800 black marks in the senate, On the currency question, the main fssue of the late campaign, nothing is likely to be attempted. The promised prosperity has been postponed, and the advance agent has left prosperity to take care of itself. The farmér was promised a lift of great benefit but no move has yet been made to build the crane that is to hoist him on a solid foundation. at Chicago on The Republicans who stand for the Dingley bill, and the Republicans who stand for the Allison-Aldrich bill, have their knives at each other's throat, It is an interesting situation.
