JUDGE TRUMBULL'S S When Judge T an Trumbull an- nounced that he would deliver an ad- dress on Saturday evening last befc A meeting ealled by the people's in- dependent party, and that he wanted to talk npon certain subjects which he would not feel at ease in discussing be- fore either of the two old political par- ties, all Chicago began preparing for a nee worthy both of the speaker the oceasion. From the vocif- poroval accorded Judge Trum Iull's effort by the aundience that packed (he house to the thresholds and from the colmmns of editorial space in the Chicago papers devoted to lts criticism it is safe to conclude that few people were disappointed in their expectation: The speech was a great speech, That much is conceded even by those who tuke issue with almost every sentence included in it. It was a political speech, but not a partisan speech would therefore have been appropr to any audience of intelligent peop! who have the interest of good gov ment and the welfare of the whole peo- ple at leart. The welfave of the people, in Judge Trambull's view, is identical with the welfare of the laboring classes, and for this reason the burden of his marks was divected toward the problem of the employer and the employe. In this conntry, where great fortunes have been so suddenly aequired and where the greater part of the wealth is con- centrated i the hands of a compa five few, he thinks the evide conclusive that the laws have had greater consideration for the rights of property than for the rights of man, ‘This unnatural distribution of wealth is «due, he thinks further, to legislation favoring corporations at the expen.n of the public, and is to be remedied by withdeawing such of those favors as are operating unjustly to the corporate employes and the consumers of goods turned out under the system of cor- porate production. These corporations are all created by law, and it rests with the people, through their legislative representatives, to so modify the law as to limit their power of acquiring prop- erty, to insist that the management shall be vested in directors chosen by bondholders and employes as well as by stockholders, to provide that the profits shall be divided among all con- tributing parties upon some equitable principle, On the subject of the encroachments of United States judges upon the con stitutional rights of the people, Judge Trumbull is plain and ontspoken. “Of late years United States judges have,” he said, “assumed jurisdiction the; would not have dared to exercise in the earlier days of the republic. Thes now claim the right to determine the extent of their jurisdiction and enforce such orders as they think proper fto make. These federal judges, like sap. pers and miners, have for years silently and steadily enlarged their jurisdiction, and unless checked by legislation tl will soon undermine the very pillars of the constitution and bury the liberties of the people beneath their ruin. To vest any man or set of men with anthority to determine the extent of their powers and to enforce thelr de- crees is of the very essence of despot- Ism. Federal judges now elaim the right to take possession of and run the rallroads of the country, to Issue injunc- tlons without notice, and to punish for coutempt by fiue and lmprisonment any EECH. and of crous re- o ? or one who dlsputes their authority.

It may be admitted that he has done his duty in instituting pro- ceedings against the Sugar trust in the matter of absorbing refineries the ground that such 2 course was in restraint of trade and free competition. But is it necess: that the attorney general should halt at this or that he should confine his attack on monopoly to this one combination? He brought this action under the anti-trust law enacted by the Fifty-fiest congress—a law which he himself has officially de- clared to be defective and inadequate, It follows that he does not expect a decision adverse to tue trust. The new tariff law contains a provision which, according to high democratic authority, is the most stringent anti- trust legislation ever enacted. It was especially intended to reach the Sugar trust, though it applies to others, . This Iaw is being violated every day, and there does not seem to be any valid reason why the attorney general should Ut off efforts to enforce this new law until the supreme court has rendered a in a case brought under a statute which the chief law officer of the government has declared to be insufticient. 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 seem to be the duty of (he attorney gen- eral to ready for a vigorous en- forcement of the law after the decision on another line thau that of the case to e passed upon, 10IWA'S DEMOCR ATIC CAMPAIGY.

Of course it may be said by way of apology that so far as the state ticket is concerned there is not much at ke, but there is party organization and party prestige at stake, at any rate, and these are generally esteemed to be worth fighting for.
