By the long-awaited decision of the supreme court in the case of the Northern Securities company the railroad merger idea is defeated.

Of course, as Pres Hill says, the properties are all there, but the scheme of merging two great roads into such a vast consolidation as was contemplated will not hold, Tho complete power of congress over interstate commerce is proclaimed. In one aspect this decision is a sxeat victory for the President. It was he who brought it about. But he must be aware of the heavy responsibilities which it places upon him. Am- Ua Knox and Asst Atty CJen Day are to be pongratulaied on the success of the cause which they have urged with so much earnestnej-a and ability.

With the people the decision is popular because there can be no disinterested sympathy with such a gigantic plot' against competition as the holding company been described. Nevertheless. It is not to be lightly assumed that all the minority members of the court acted from a tender consideration for this monopoly. The dissenting justices planted themselves on broad constitutional objections, and urged them with manifest earnestness. Possibly time may make more real the fears which they express of the exercise of such a sweeping power by the federal government.

Soon after she graduated, in about 1848, her father added to his stock a few lm ported valentines, the first which ever had been seen in Worcester. The bright young girl thought that it would be no great task to make even prettier ones than the European love missives, and told her folks so. They encouraged her in tho Idea, and although she was greatly handicapped by the scarcity of material with which to work, she demonstrated to her own as well as her parents' satisfaction that she was capable of fashioning some artistic valentines.

The origin of the dispute between the government and the students, about 500 of whom are attending the university anu technical schools, was the sociullst accession that the government was permitting Russian spies to search the rooms, examine the correspondence and otherwise Interfere with tho liberty of Russians living in Germany.

That Iron is made hot by which may induce Nicholas to don one of his many uniforms and travel to the far east. According to several good authorities, he is a very much disappointed man. It is universally known that he loves peace and detests war, and that he allowed his private judgment to be set aside by tho opinion of the war party surrounding him at court. It was his desire for peace among the nations which induced him several years ago, to become converted to the ideas of the celebrated Jean de Bloch and issue a rescript for the formation of The Hague tribunal. Since the establishment of The Hague tribunal, the czar has been regarded by many Russians as a ruler far removed from their ideal of what an emperor should be, and not, to quote a common description of czars, "a jovial, burly ruler, who can drink hard, who loves fighting and whose personal courage is undoubted." Nicholas, according to visitors who have been graciously received at his court, Is well aware of the fact that by advocating peaceful measures and arbitration of perplexing international questions, he has gained the respect and esteem of the best thinkers of the world but has lost much of the confidence of his countrymen, who inherit a strong dislike for all foreigners.

Although tenacious of opinions, he is a disappointed man, which fact gave rise to the report at one time that he was going to resign his throne. Mr Arnold White, an author who has spent many years in Russia, seems to corroborate the reports of the physical condition the czar has been in when ha says: Czar Nicholas II is physically weak; his nerves are shattered; his will feeble. He Is amiable where iron-handedness is essential. Ke is dependent when a strong individuality is required. He is constantly in subjection first to one influence and then to another.

He is snore than usually amenable to women's control, and the fair sex has on moro than one occasion exercised powerful, if not calamitous, influence upon his life. In speaking of "the fair sex" Mr. White had in mind the Influence of the dowager-empress of Russia upon the czar in the matter of not advising the settlement of international differences by a resort to physical force. A ruler like Nicholas, who has a horror of war, is sure to run i counter at some time to the strong passions of the warlike members of his court. At the same time the people of Russia are far from lamb-; like in disposition and indeed look upon war with more complacency if not pleasure than the people of any other country.

The events leading up to the present war have occasioned an attempted analysis of the character of the tzar by various writers, but Mr White appears to have struck the key-note to it when he shows the house of Romanoff has had iuch a grewsome history that it is natural Nicholas II should be melancholy when he reviews it, and it is commendable that he manfully tried to start the reigning descendants on a career of peace instead of advocating more bloodshed. The emperor is described as a right-meaning, benevolent and clement ruler, and considering the history of immediate ancestors, which recalls nothing but memories of bloodshed, malignity and strife, it is perhaps suprising that he is nothing more than melancholy at times and Pieasing Concert Program Given in Mechanic st, Inst evening, after a brief llbteatj.
