ATTENDING TO TRUS At last thero 1s promise of a serious effort in congress to provide legislation for the suppression of truste. Senator Sherman’s revised anti-trust bill was given a place on the calendar last week and it will come up for discussion daily until disposed of, which it is presumed will not require a great deal of time, The Ohio senator introduced a bill last year for a like purpose, but it en- countered constitutional objections which the present measure Wwas framed to overcome. he bill now under consideration in the senate declares to bo against public policy, unlawful and void all arrangements, contracts, agreements, trusts or combinations between two or more citizens or corporations, or both, of different states, or of the United States and foreign states, having the purpose or tendency to prevent full and free competition in articles of produc- tion or manufacture,and to advance the cost to the consumer of any such arti- cles. It is provided that the ¢ it court of the United States shall have oviginal jurisdiction in all suits of a civil nature, at common law or in equity, arising under this section, and the attorney general and the several district attorneys are girceted to commence and prosecute all such cases to final judgment and execu- tion. f Senator Sherman, 1n advocating the measure, said it did not interfere with any lawful business. It was aimed only at unlawful combinations, such as are unnuthorjzed by any law of any eivil- ized nution, and the sole object of which was to control prices and to es- tablish substantial monopolies. He referred to the decisions of the courts of several states against the su- gar and ofher trusts in order to sho that, in different states, the courts did declure trusts and compinations in .a state as unlawful and void, and all that the pending bill proposed wus to em- power the courts of the United States to deal with those combinations affecting not only several states, but the entire world, among which are the cotton trust, the sugar trust, the copper st the whisky trust and others. They are all combinstions, said Mr. Sherman, of corporations and individuals of many states, forming a league and cove- nant under the contract of trustees, and he thought the best effect of the bill would be to serve notice that combina- tions in restraint of trade and produc- tion would uot be tolerated. The bill would not affect combinatious operating within the limits of asingle state, but simply proposes to attacik the trast evil under the federal authority over inter- aind foreign commerce, The discussion of bear chiefly upon the constitutional ight of congress to provide legislation of this . nature, regarding which there is a decided difference of opinion, some of those'who think congress has uot the right being undoubtedly sin- ere, while such as do not wish the trusts interfered with find this a con- venient view. The disposition in con- favorable to legislation for the supprossion of trusts is apparently far more general than ever before, and the result of this seemingly earnest attempt to provide such legislation will. be awaited with a great deal of interest by all classes of the peopl THE TARIFF DILEMMA Tt appears that it was not the inten- tion of the majority of the ways a means committee that the abstr: the neg tariff bill published last week should receive general civeulation. Ac- cording to the clerk of the committeo the vepublican members thought they had all the schedules completed and indiscreetly authorized one of their number, who represents the Pacilic coast, to make known so much of 1t as related to thg intorests of that section. The information was intended exclus- ivgly for that portion of the count once upon the wires it of course sent everywhere, is that the committee is overwhelmed with protests and remonst 5 numerous features of the measure, the effect of which will be a more or less prolonged delay in completing it. Thus the country 1s agmin having a striking illustration of the difliculty there is in reforming and modifying a long-estab- lished econ omie policy. but One of the most vigorous and formid- able remonstrances the committee has encountered isfrom theshoe and leather manufacturers against the proposed duty on hides. Our imported hides come chiefly from South and Central America and the Iudies, and for nearly twe they have been on the free y asmount in value to about twenty million dollars. and one result of admitting them freo has been to increase our exports of leather about ten million dollars annually, The shoe and leather manufacturers insist that the imposition of a duty would not in the least benefit the cattle but would seriously injure business, and the Boston vertiser, an uncompromisi voeate of protection, nrgues against the proposed duty as so extraordinary that it is hurdly possible congress will adopt it. The proposition is also criticized asa remarkable one to be made ata time when we a king wore liberal trade arrangemonts with the countries from which we get more than two-thivds of the hides we import. Perhaps thoe duty might not materially reduce the impor- tation of hides, but the spivit it implie could hardly conteibute to imoroving the sentiment in favor of more intimate trade relutions. st, rasers, their Ad- 'S ad- The canned oods packers are another Tuterest from which the committee has heard & very pronounced opposition to the proposed duty on tin, while the sugar schedule and the peoposed chango from specific to ad valorom duties is being vigorously attacked by the sugar refiners and importers. The lumber- men are reported to have convineced the committee that it is not expedient to reduee the duty. There are muttarings of dissatisfaction among tho carpot manufacturers with the proposal to in- crease the duty on carpet wool forty per cent, and there are indi- cations of discontent among the iron manufacturers of New England at this measure will, the refusal to puy any attention to their appeal for free raw materials. In short, tho new tariff bill has failed to commend itself to the full approval of any interest, and whether the com- mittee will be able to make ii any more acceptable alier a more prolonged con- siderntion is altogether problematical. The feulty can not be aseribed to any lack ui intelligence or information on the part of the majority of the com- mittee. Perhaps it 18 to be found in the too great concern for political or party considerations. At any rate 1t would seem that the application of true statesmanship to the consideration of this subject, with no regard for possible political effects. but aiming solely at a just and equitable reform of the tariff with reference to the general welfare, would make theattaining of thatobject, which men of both parties profess to de- sire, comparatively ens; A RECIPROCITY FEELER. The house committee on foreign affairs last week agreed on a resolution intended to encourage interest in reciprocity with Canada. It recites that whenever the president shall be duiy informed of & desire on the part of the government of the Dominion of Canada to enter iato such commercial arrangements with this country as will result in the complete removal of all duties upon trade botween Canada and the United States, he shall appoint commissioners to meet with those who may be designated to represent the government of Canada to consider the best method of extending thoe trade relations between the two countries, and to ascertain on what t 5 greater freedom of inter- course chn be best secured. / If this resolution passes congress it is possible it will have the effect of indue- ing the government of Canada to sevi- ously consider the policy of entering into the negotiations to which 1t points, but it cannot be reasonably supposed that at present the Canadian govern- ment or people entertanin for us the most friendly feeling. Our vroposed tariff legislation has aroused there a great deal of apprehen- sion, which it muy be presumed is not unmixed with a sense of resentment at what the people of Canada might be pardoned for regarding s an evidence of unfriendliness. Whiie we are court- ing the commercial favor of every other country in this hemisphere wo show a disposition to shape our fiseal policy so as to do the greatest possib harm to our northern neighbor. There is an obvious inconsistency betwesn our professions and our conduct in this re- spect which it would is move likely to inspive a spivit of retaliation than encourage one of reciprocity in the government and people of Canada. However, the resolution referved to may operate as an emollient, and something of that sort may be expedient under the ircumstances. seom e men implicated in the dastardly murder of Mr. and Mrs. Jones is creditable to the ity and county offreials. But much re- mains to be done to forge together the various links of evidence before the trial can proceed. For this purpose it is absolutely necessary that the hands of the county attorney should be strengthened. Tt is folly to expect that he can devote to the case the time and attention its importance deman ds when his services are almost daily re- quireda at the district court. The public cannot expect effective work from an official whose time is divided between the business of the county board, criminal prosecuiions in the district court, and state cases in the police courts of Omaha and South Omaha. Iven though the law does not author- izo the county board to grant assist- ance to the county attorney, public policy demands that every means at the command of the county be employed to prosecute and mete out justice to the | perpetrators of the Pinney farm trage- dy. The blood of the aged victims eriesout for vengeance,and every official is in honor bound to use every effort and spare no oxpense in the collec- tion of proof and in prepar- ing an impregnable line of prosecution. Tho. safety and securi of society no less than the credit of Douglas county, call for a thorough and exhaustive inquiry into every cir- cumstance, and the socuring of positive proof so as to prevent a miscarriago of justice. Tire determined demand of the pr Aucing classes for velief has taken form in & uumber of bills introduced in con- gross. Among these weritorious mens- ures, that of Representative Buiter- worth strikes at the root of speculution in agricultural products. It is not probable that this form of gambling can be entively suppressed, but the at tendant evils can be diminished if not wiped out. The bill proposes to levy a tax ou option trading, without interfe ing with legitimate business. Senator Ingalls’ amendment to the Sherman anti-trust bill is more radieai than t Buttorworth bill, It pro- vides that all persons deal ing in options and futures shall pay a license of one thousand dollars a and all transactions must be v red. In addition to the ors must pay from five pound to twenty cents u bushel on food products sold for future deliv Both and fees would uproot speculation and annihilate the business of traders who never handle a pound of the article dealt in. It is doubtful if cong will go to the extreme pro- posed by Senator Ingalls, but the de- mand for national regulation of the op- license cents a all license ress tion trading business cannot be ig- nored. Gambling on the necessaries of life should be made w crime, as it is in- jurious alike to the producers, manu- facturors and consumers. Tue lowa state board of railroad com- missioners has put a construction on the Towa railvoad law which at first blush looks us if 1t thight pross closely upon the heels of interatate traffc. The board has assumed the right to make n local rate on lines of road between any two points in lowa, although the road for a part of the distance runs into an adjoining stage,, This is disputed by the | end vailroads on whevgeound tnat tho instant a lino leaves' ¥owa torritory, tho traflic over it becomies' interstato and cannot be controlled by.the board. The point in question 1§ likely to prove an inter- esting one. aloit is a town in the ex- treme northwestorn part of Towa on the cast bank of tf#'Big Sioux river.

The case will probably be taken to the su- preme court of the United States, and its solution will bring out more clearly tho riehts and limitations of a state board of railvoad commissioners. e THE sccretary of the interjor with one ruthless stroke of the pen has de- stroyed an infant industry which with vroper encouragement promised to be- come a powerfui agency in solving the vexed Indian question. But Secretary Noble has put his veto on the exhibition of Indians in *‘wild west shows.” They will no longer ve the chief features and drawing attraction of the summer cir- cus. The Deadwood coach will never more go Jdashing round the ring with a yelling band of real [ndians in hot vursuit. This is a crushing bilow to the small boy, the peanut vender and the circus manager. The education of the Indian under the influence of the circus has been altogether too rapid. e will hereafter be confined to the agencies where contuct with #he white man will be mixed with savage si.. jlicity and government rations. A STRANGE spectacle is how wit- nessed in Washington for the first time. It is the train of suppliants coming from all partsof the land to bow down before the high priests of the tariff. The makers of carpets and clothing, the manufacturers of hoots and shoes, the canned goods vackers and the repre- sentatives of other industries threat- ened by an increase of tariff on raw ma- terinl are wearing sack cloth and ashes of contrition and ace bearing in their hands emblems of woe. It is not to be wondered at that the members of the ways and means commitiee staud aghast at these petitioners. They aré strangers at the court of high tariff, The faces familiar in the past have been those of manufacturers praying for protection and more duties. What can itmean? DEMOCRATIC political leaders are accused of giving merely lukewarm sup- port to the high licenss bill pending 1n the Towa legisluture. They are said to cherish'the hope that,4n the event of no change in the law this session,” by making the liguor question the p: mount issup two years hence they be able to ride into power on the crest of a popular upheaval. is evi- dently something in . For that reason it behooyps the republicans of Towa to geasp the situation and meet prohibition with a bold and solid front. T in the coming campuign the rail- road political gangs are routed, and radical regulation laws enucted, the corporations will have themselves to blame. Thoy have invited retaliatory legislation by maintaining excessivi froight tolls and-robbing the producers of the fruits of their labors.
