Whenever a new trust is formed the announcement of its organization is al- ways coupled with a statement that its prime objeet is to reduce expenses. This is true of the very latest combine among the manufacturers of fire and burg- lar proof vaults and safes. Less than a year ago three of the oldest vault and safe manufacturing concerns formed a trust with a capital of $3,800,000, which was swelled to a round figure of #5,000,- 000. The eleven remaining safe manu- facturing concerns of the first and sec- ond magnitude have just formed a trust with 50,000 shares of stock, capitalized at another $5,000,000. A confidential prospectus to capitalists has been issued by the new octopus which contains the ULT 0CTOPUS. | following suggestive information. ‘The expenses of several years past have been h Competition has been extreme, and the cutting of prices, with rebates and commissions, has been enormous. Through the formation of this company expenses will be greatly reduced by uniting eleven estab- lishments under one management; competi- tion, hitherto so injurious as to be almost tive, will be brought within reason- able limits, and cuts in prices and e rebates will be done away with altogether. “The iutrinsic merit of this business need not be dwelt upon, It is not a protected indus try and cannot be unfavorably affected by chunges in the tarif.

A D WELL DONE, The State Banking Board made short work of the applications of foreign loan and building associations for authority to do business in Nebraska during the current | An examination of the laws under which the applicants were incorporated confirmed what The B has repeatedly shown, that Nebraska investors in foreign associations are without legal means to enforce their rights. That important fact being clearly shown, the board promptly re- jected the applications. The action of the board is not only in ac- cord with public sentiment in this state is in harmony with the demand for rigid inspection and regulation in most of the northern states. At a meeting of the the committee on law reform stron urged the legislature to enact laws plac- ing these institutions under such safe- guards as will check reckless ment and protect investors. It shown that the existing law was en- tirely inadequate. The necessity for stato inspection and regulation was forei- bly illustrated in the statement that in Chicago alone over ,000,000 was in- vested in building associations, and this st sum, largely the savings of had no protection other t was wage ners, assc tion 1 gers. There are higher considerations local effect which call for official supervision of building associa- tions. The amount of money invested in this country in both cl loan and building associations exceods the public debt of the United S The greater part of it is ject to state regulation, and invested locally. Within a years, however, a class of associations have sprung up whose operations are not confined to state boundaries. They dover surrounding states, and by hustling agents se- cure a vast amount of business in the While differing somewhat as to methods, they are a unit, promising great profits to investors, and extremely low interest rate to Up to this time there is nothing to show that these promises have in any instance been fulfilled.

A day of settlement must come. If permitted to go on unchecked by law we will have in this country a repetition of the frauds committed by London a ciations. The moment public fidence is shaken the honest and solvent association will suffer with the dishonest, and years would pass before legitimate corporative asso- ciations would reach the present plane of usefulnes: The banking board clearly sees the importance of strictly enforcing the law. By adhering closely to its terms, soupled with rigid examination by com- petent officers, the dishonest must see other fields of operation, while X ations incorporated in the state may be placed on so firm a foundation that the collapse of financial bubbles will not shake them in public confidence. 850+ con- OF IMMIGRATI N, Senator lLln\lnn\wh of North Dakota presents in the current number of the Vorth American Review some cogent reasons why immigration should not be suspended. He discusses the matter from a wholly practical standpoint, and his conclusions are well worthy of ser ous consideration. is that a seaboard quarantine along the Atlantic coast will not stand as a bar to the entrance of contagious or infectious diseases over the Canadian or Mexican borders. Nor will a complete sus- pension of international commerce keep out international plagues unless we have the co-operation of all the governments in the western hemisphere. We may say to the intending emigrant that he shall not come to this country through the ports within our jurisdiction, but he will easily find a convenient entrance through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and thence by way of lake and rail to western points in the Dominion, whenee he enter the United States by as many Jiffer- ent eross roads as there are iron posts to mark the miles of the boundary line. Indeed, he may come in with equal ease from Montreal or Toronto. In the opinion of Senator Hansbrough, it is unreasonable to suppose that the vessels now engaged in carrying immi- grants would go out of business in case of the passage of a suspension act. “The companies owning them,” he says, “'would continue to seek dividends upon their investmen and many of their ships would carry hamigrants to the ports north of us. These companic which are said to be making rich profits, would not tie up their vessels for a year 5o long as they could land immi- grants in the depots of a great railway company whose lines, for a distance of 3,000 miles, skirt the borders of the very country in which Europe's millions are seeking homes.” he Canadian Pacific would not refuse to carry immigrants to western points in order to keep'cholera out of Chicago, so that cholera may come into this country by way of Winni- peg or the great lake ports despite the fact of a suspension of immigration by act of congr These considerations give force to the argument that a federal quarantine sys- tem is necessary to the general prof enator Hansbrough states it, it is unjust to the taxpayers of New York, Pennsylvania or Maryland to say that they shall pay the expenses of - ing the cholera out of Chicago, or that the people of Louisiana or Texas shall be assessed to prevent the spread of yollow fever to the adjoining state of Avkansas, “These are matter; the senator, “that concern the people of the entire country, and the burden should be borne by the general ment,” In the opinion of Senator Hans- brough, and he voices a nearly universal sentiment, congress should not hesitate ' says to grant the secretary of the treasury all | vently | | the New York legi manage- | than | | throug | vision is made by the anti-trust necossary authority to negotiate with the statos owning dhem for the control and use of such Mudrantine institutions and paraphernalia ds might be necossary | | to cope with an outbreak of any serious epidemic threatMiitlg the good hoalth of the and the stability of the country's commerce, system of national quarantine, and with the '‘power vested in the president to temporarily suspond immigration from | any foreign port’ where cholera or any | other dangerous ¥idease might be rug- | ing, alaw uthorizipg a total suspension of immigration for any length of time whatever would he wholly unnecessary and unwarranted.

It provides that it shall be unlawful for any person not having a coal carrier's license to transport. anthracite coal in- tended for consumption within the st on any railroad or navigable waters; that it shall be unlawful for any person | not having a coal dealer’s license to sell coal within the state’ which is intended for consumption within the state; that the licenses of the carriers and dealers shall prescribe the maximum prices to be charged by them respectively, and that the holder of a seller’s license shall deliver the coal sold by him to chasers thereof without charge for such delivery. Licenses areto be issued to carviers and dealers only upon the ap- proval of the railroad commission and must be posted conspicuously in the office of the licensee. Any violation of the terms of the license is to be considered sufficient cause for its revocation by the committee. The maximum price of coal is to be adjusted by the commission, based upon investi- gations of the conditions affecting such prices, which shall be fixed so as to af- ford only reasonable compensation. Various powers are vested in the rail- road commission which provide ample safeguards against evasion of the law, and suitables penalties ave provided for its violation. It is provided that this law shall take effect on September 1, 1803, The bill has been ordered to a third reading and there is some ground for the belief that it will pass. If it gots through the leg- islature the s no doubt that it will ba promptly approved by Governor Flower, who has distinctly put himself on record | ™ in favor of a radical measure for the sup- pression of the coal monopoly. It may be asked what good such a law in New York would do in Nebraska and other states not dirvectly affected by it. In the first place it will have a tendency to check the operations of the combine, which are very extensive in the Empire state. In the second place it will set an example that may be followed else- where. If federal laws prove inade- or their enforcement is neglected, esmay enact and enforce laws for their own protection.
