IF THE secretary of agriculture carries out his plans in regard to extending the work of introducing American corn in Furopean countries he may be able to accomplish some practical good for his own state. Nebraska raises some corn. OHIO seems to be remarkably desti- tute of demccratic statesmen who want to be put up against McKinley. It is singu- Iar that the chief representativoof a tar- iff policy that is said to have been the cause of the democratic national vietory &huld be regarded as so formidable. THE Prince of Wales may be lionized to some extent if he comes to this country this year, but the r lion is the duke of Veragua, the descendant of Christo- pher Columbus. If the duke's head does not become somewhat enlarged be- fore he goes home it will be because he has a large supply of good sense. FRrOM the caustic criticisms that ave ‘being flung at ths head of Mr. Cleveland for having ordered “Old Glory” pulled down at Honolulu, it would seem that he has again been unfortunate in the flag business. He cansed a rumpus when he meddled with it in the early part of his first admipistration whic! has not yet been quite forgotten. Ir 18 said of the productiveness of the south that “there is a maximum of results for a minimum of labor.” It is very lucky for the southern people that it is so, fora great proportion of them consider themselves too strong to work. Flowever, they are gradually getting over that and the results of the change are already apparent in increased pros- perity.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S indifference to the clamor of North Dakota and Kan- sas for federal office pie has been ex- plained by some on the ground of the unsatisfactory status of their senators- elect. But what is the trouble about California? Not a shice has been pitched over to the Pacific slope, and the people there are hungry. IN A review of the cattle market the National Stockman takes occasion to ex- press the utmost confidence in the con- tinued prosperity of the cattle business in this country, which has been con- stantly improving for some time past. It suys that “in spite of the determined ef- forts of buyers and the deprossed condi- tion of the foreign market for beeves, values have slowly but steadily sought a higher plane” and that “it is the long pull and tho steady pull that is tho most effective and that generally the most good. does ACCOUNTS of devastation of furious windstorms, that have recently swept the country from the lakes to the gulf, eomtinue.

That act authority of the Ameri- can minister; taken entirely upon his own responsibility, was tinetly disavowed by President rison. Minister Stevens was that so far as his action appeared to +p the limit of providing adequate protection for American interest Y authority and power of the os above that of the govern- ment of the Hawaiian islands in the ca- pacity of protector, or to impair in any way the independent sover Hawaiian government by the flag and the power of the Uni States as the symbol and of paramount authority, it disu- vowed.” Itis impossible to misunder- stand the meaning of this explicit lan- Ty It wasin ¢ t a declaration that the raising of the flag itol of Hawaii was unwarranted, and it is porfectly obvious that if the Ameri- the pro the raising under the substituting 2 can minister had done his duty he would | | deer have ordered the flag removed immedi- ately upon hearing from Washington. [u this view of the matter, and it the only one that can fairly be take is plain that the present administr: has simply acted in accordance with the position of its predecessor. If there was no justification for raising the flag ‘“‘as the symbol and manifestation of paramount authority” the only thing to do was to The American having made a mistake the plain duty of the government was to corvect it. It has been suggested that England or Germany would not have taken this course under like circumstances, but this government does not model policy upon that of European govern- ments and is not ealled upon to consider what they might do in any given state of things. Besides it is very question- able whether a British or German min- ister wonld in the absence of instrue- tions Mrom the government assume such responsibility as the American minister to Hawaii assumed. trained diplomatists of those countries act with better judgment and discretion than was shown in this case and entirely safe to say that they would not persist in an action after it had been dis- tinetly disavowed and repudiated by their governments. Another question with this Hawaiian matter is whethe the president did not exceed his consti- tutional authority in appointing a com- missioner to supersede the minister. Sceretary Gresham s said to recognize the fact that a mistake was made and Senator Butler, the chairman senate committee on foreign affaivs, is quoted as expressing the opinion that the president cannot, without the advice and consent of the senate, commission a person to supersede the United States minister. It is contended that if the president possesses this power all he would have todo would be to send his private representative to supersede a minister whenever he saw fit. There may boe some force in this, but it seoms altogether improbable that the action of the president, deliberately taken, was outside of his constitutional authority. Judging from Washington advices, the P! ing impression there is that the administration is not favorable to an- nexation, but that it will permit no for- eign power to interfere in Hawaiian is it proper remove ed in connection ERPRE The anti-trust law has recently been interpreted diversely by two federal judges. It will be remembered that Judge Speer of the United States dis- trict court in Georgia held that rule of the Brotherhood of TLocomotiy Engineers was plainly a rule or an ement in restraint of trade or com- nd therefore obnoxious to the anti-trust law. He said that it will be ally impossible hercafter for a body of men to combine ty hinder and delay the work of a transportation com- pany without becoming to the provisions of the anti- trust law and the interstate commerce law, and he also said that a combination or agreement of railvoad officials or other representatives of capi- tal, with the sameeffect, will be equally under the ban of these penal statute This was giving the law the most com- prehensive application und the opinion of Judge Speer has been very generally commended. Indeed, that and the de- cisions of Judges Taft and Ricks were regarded as of 0 much importance that the ordered them to printed together as a pamphlet, sumably not only for the tion of senators, but also for general distribution. Thoe opinion of Judge Speer has undoubtedly been more widely accepted as a sound interpreta- tion of th@ statutes than the decisions of the judges in Ohio Recently a de obnoxious senate he pre- informa- n was rendered b Judge Riner of the United States dis- trict court in Kuansas which does not agree with that of Judge Speer regard- ing the application of the anti-trust law, » government undertook to prosscute > Transmissouri Freight association under that act, asking that the sociation should be dissolved the corporations ¢onstituting forbidden to continue any ment or ecombination for the main- tenance of rates, regulations or rules, the charge being that the association had suppressed stition and rates throughout a large district. The court held that it was the purpose of congress, in passing the act of July 2, 1800, that it should apply only to the trusts and ¢om- binations which threatened to destrc the commorcial and industrial prospe ity of the country, and that it cannot b. used against combinations of railvoad companies designed to prevent competi- tion in prices for the careying of freight.

These diverse judicial opinions em- ssity of obtaining an in- torpretation of the statute from the tri bunal of last resort with as little delay ue possible. The anti-trust law has been invoked against combinations of workingmen, for which it was certainly not intended. 1t ought to be speedily determined whether or not it is appli- cable to combinations of railroads which suppress competition in rates. FIGNTING THE COAL COMBINE, The Minnesota legislative joint com- mittee, appointed to investigate the ex- tortions of the coal combine, makes some astounding revelations respecting the methods of the c¢oal barons in their operations in that The entire anthracite coal supply of that section is controlied by half a dozen corporations, who claim to be only @ of the wstern owners of the anthracite eoal, but which elaim the committee believes to be amere subterfuge resorted to by these companies, acting in collusion in the to avoid payment of personal tax on the commodi€y. : state ents east, The principal managers of these cor- porations concede that they meet an- nually, with others like interested, in w York City, from which point the s of the great national combine a sued. Starting from “this home, or seat of the great owners of coal vrop- orties,” says the committee, “the serpen- tine coils of this colossal and hyd headed combination embrace the entire coal-consuming portion of the United clond of disaster xtortion spreads over the entire country by the vast ramifications of this consp v, bringing distress to every manufacturing industry and every five- side in our land, and indecd one of the gravest dangers that now threaten the institutions of our country.” The committee directed the attention of the governor of the state to the evils the people are now suffering from this and similar vi and demoralizing combines. It urges prompt rccourse to the courts for relief from the dangers threaten them, and if the state authorities can afford no adequate rem- edy, then that prosecutions shall be in- augurated against these combinations in the courts of the United States. The most direct and therefore un- doubtedly the best, would be to proceed against the combine in the federal court, as any person may do, under the anti- trust law, who has suffered from its operation. That law provides that pe sons injured by the trusts may sue and recover threefold the damages sustained from the trust, and if it can be shown, as the report of the Minnesota legis lative joint committee aflicms, that the coal combine in that state a part of the Anthracite Coal trust there can be no difticulty in proceeding against it under the federal law, to which under the circumstances as veported by the committee it is clearly obnoxious. Some one who feels that he has been injured by this combine, and every one who was compelled to pay tribute to it for the privilege of doing business ought to feel 50, would do a t public service by placing his case in the hands of the United States district attorney, who is required by the law to prosecute of- fenders against it. and ¢ ious course, THE popular demonstrations in Bel- gium, which threatened to culminate in a revolution, have come to an end as the result of the action of the Chamber of Representatives in granting universal suffrage. Although commonly referred to as a strike the movement of working- men in Belgium was purely political in its character, involving no question of wages or hours of labor or relations between employers and employed. It was a united and determined effort on the part of, thousands of workingmen of all trades to compel the Chamber of Deputies to give them the suffrage and its success is a notable vic tory for the masses. What the conse will be to the country is another Many of those who will now ba enabled to vote hold extreme views r garding the rights and duties ernment, and as they will elect of gov- to the | Chamber of Deputies men in harmony with their views the time be able to effect r the government.

The intention is to confer with the authori- ties of Council Bluffs and pass an dinance in theyge: city councils that will regulate the bridge tolls as may be agreed upon.
