The House of Representatives has or.
dered an investigation OF certain "trusts, !"
sspools' and combinations, which are
but deceptive names given to rings found
to enrich their members at the expense
of tho public. Some of the members of
the House think the investigation will
not amount to anything because the
Supreme Court in the Kilbourne case
held that Congress could not compel the
production of the books and papers of an
individual or corporation. Bacon of New
York, who had charge of the resolution
ordering the investigation, says that the
ruling of the Supreme Court referred only
20 investigations of subjects by Congress
ever which it had no power to legislate.
In which case it cannot punish for con-
tempt the refusal to produce books and
papers; but a. Congress has power to leg
islats, in regard to trusts and pools. it can
compel the production Of books and papers
relating to the same. Against this opin.

ABANDONMENT OF FORT McDERMIT

A letter from the Secretary OF War to
Senator Stewart relative to the proposed
abandonment of Fort McDermit, pr inted
elsewhere in the SILVER STATE, explains
why the postisto be abandoned. Strange
10 say it is not because there is no dan
ger of an Indian outbreak or that the
settlers are not entitled to protection,
but simply and solely for the reason that
the post is situated 70 miles from rail-
road and transportation is necessarily
expensive. The Chief Quartermaster Of
the Pacific Coast thinks that good and
sufficient reason for abandoning the post;
General Howard, tho Department Com
mander, with headquarters at San Fran
cisco, agrees with him, as does also Lieut.
enant General Sheridan at Chicago. and
the Secretary of War at Washington APP
proves the idea. Now, in the name of
all that's is reasonable, should the
lives and property of number of settlers
be jeopardized, in fact placed at the
mercy of savages, because the supplies
for troops to protect them have to be
hauled IS miles over wagon road
Has it come to this that settlers, to get
protection from the Government must
move along railroad lines where troops
can be maintained at less expense than
an remote parts of the country? Was
there ever Q more unreasonable and IL
ogical cause assigned for the abandon
ment of military post than that it is
situated IS miles from railroad?
When General Howard, now command.
ing the Department of the Pacific, was
few years ago, in the country pro-
tected by Fort McDermit, the settlers from
every direction sought refuge at the post,
and it was unsafe for him or any other
white man to travel through the country
without strong escort, and it is within
bounds to say that the Indian outbreak
ut that time cost the Government fifty
times more than it has to maintain gar
xison at Fort McDermit since the post
was established. Many of the Indians,
who were exiled to Yakima, are now in
the vicinage of Fort McDermit, and il
General Howard, Lieutenant General
Sheridan or the Secretary of War, imag.
7ne that their experience at Yakima les
sened their hatred for the pale faces they
are beyond doubt or dispute mistaken.
The experience of the War Department
with Indians in Northern Nevada and
Southeastern Oregon, ought to have
taught it ere this that it is economy to
maintain military post with cavalry, as
well as infantry, in that section.

REMOVING GARBAGE,
Trouble Between the Sanitation
Company and the CITY,

Trouble Between the Sanitation
Company and the City.
The st. Paul Sanitation company is in
trouble with the municipal authorities.
About month ago they entered into a
contract with the city to carry all gar
bage and other refuse matter mile out
side of the city limits. For this purpose
they were to construct three docks
along the Mississippi river, where the
garbage could be brought and loaded on
bargeS for transportation to the dump
ing grounds. Last Thursday Deputy
Health Inspector Green swore out a
warrant and secured the arrest of B. j.
Sanitation company, whom he charged
with having violated the health Ordi-
nance of the city. The inspector stated
that Young was in charge of barge on
which was a large amount of refuse
matter, and when down the Mississippi
about three-quarterS of mile inside of
the city limits, he dumped the whole
LOAD INTO THE RIVER.
The point where the deposit was
made is known as the old dumping
grounds. Young was brought into the
municipal court and fined $50, which
the company paid.
Another warrant was sworn out yes
terday for the arrest of Gilbert Donald
son, the president of the Sanitation
company, on the ground that the COM
pany had failed to remove the garbage
and other refuse matter from the
Mintzer property in West st. Paul. The
warrant was served at late hour last
night, and Mr.. Donaldson will be given
a hearing to-day in the municipal court.
Assistant Health Officer Hendrickson
said last night that there would be con-
siderable trouble over the sanitary con-
tract, but that the department intended
to enforce every point of the law.

RAILROAD CORPORATIONS.
Want Courts. Not Commissioners

Want Courts. Not Commissioners,
to Define Their Rights.
The Minneapolis switching rates
cases were argued before Judge Brewer
yesterday afternoon. These cases arose
out of the complaints of Minneapolis
commission merchants to the railroad
commission, that the Manitoba was
charging S1.50 per car for switching and
transferring. A conference between the
comp 1ainants and General Manager
former were determined to oppose the
S1.50 rate. The state railroad commits
sion came to their rescue and made a
uniform rate of 81 per car for all
roads. The Omaha and the Milwaukee
roads carried these cases into the
courts, and the Jurisdiction of the
state railroad commission to make such
an order was disputed before Judge
Nelson, of the United States district
court, on the ground that it was an
interstate commerce matter. Judge
missioners, and the case was car
ried up to Judge Brewer. who is now
practically reviewing the proceedings
before Judge Nelson, and Judge Mel
sons decision.
The Northern Pacific indemnity lands
case was argued before Judge Brewer
yesterday morning and taken under adj
visement. Mr.. Mcknight appearing for
the Northern Pacific and Col. c. ID.
Kerr, of this city, for the defendant set
tiers in the st. Cloud district. Attorney
General Garland had the United States
withdrawn from the defense short
time ago because he did not wish to
publish his opinion before certain ques-
tionS in the case were settled by the
courts. The main point in dispute is
what is known as the twenty-mile limit.
The original act of ..lS64-65 extended the
grant of the Northern Pacific to an in
demnity of ten miles, and the joint res
olution of 1870, according to the plain
tiff'S argument, gave ten-mile limit
beyond this. The suit was brought to
eject these settlers in the second indem-
nifty belt. Col. Kerr, for defendants,
contends that the joint resolution of 1870
did not create second indemnity belt.

POISONOUS INSECTS.
They Cause Louisiana Hogs

They Cause Louisiana Hogs to
Shuttle Off in Great hunters.
New ORLEANS, June 29.-SOme weeks
ago species of consumption broke out
among the hogs in st. Tammany and
neighboring parishes of the state. The
disease became SO severe that in some
sections not a hog was left within a
radius of twenty miles. They ate
ravenously, but wasted away until they
were unable to stand and died of sheer
exhaustion, produced apparently by
tuberculosis. Soon afterwards, another
or the same disease under different
form broke out among the cattle in the
same neighborhood. The animals were
attacked by local swelling, paralysis
and staggers, ending in death. There
was some difference of opinion as to the
cause of this disease. but the farmers
who have investigated the matter. have
come to the conclusion that the cattle
were made sick by the bites of insects
that fed upon the carcasseS of the dead
hogs. Whenever these insects bit the
cattle swellings were raised and local
poison soon developed, which cOmmuni-
Gated to different portions of the bodies
of the animals, producing death. The
disease has proved very destructive in

OUT OF SCHOOL.
Bright Boys Put Away Their Books
for Awhile,

The closing exercises of the boys de-
partment of the Cathedral school were
held at the Peoples theater yesterday
afternoon, and were as interesting as
any similar event of the year. The
theater was crowded, among the audi
ence being Archbishop ireland, the
Catholic clergy and prominent citizens
of st. Paul. The exercises opened with
a song, ''Our Temperance Banner" by
the choir. Phil and Fred Wagner gave
Analogue, ''The Troublesome Servant"
and Frank Peil gave a recitation on
"AlcOhol." written by Archbishop Ire
land. After song by the choir, James
Wheeler, Frank Peil and Fred Wagner
gave ''The Temptation" 1t was one of
the cleverest things on the programme.
The former was soliloquizing as to what
course he would pursue about certain
things. Frank Peil represented an
angel and Fred Wagner Satan.
1t was very interesting feat
ure of the exercises. A debate on the
subject, Resolved, that our country
is more indebted to her statesmen than
her WARRIORS" was the next on the
programme. John f. Mcmahon and
Joseph A. Bowler and Wesley Ryan the
negative. The judges, P. V. Dwyer, j.
u. O'Brien and John CauIfield, decided
in favor of the negative. A song,
"Home by the River" followed dumb
bell exercises, and the programme con-
cluded with recitation, ''Three Days
in the Life of Columbus" by Wesley
Ryan. The awarding of diplomas and
prizes then took place, and Archbishop
Ireland presented Charles j. Sonnen
and Frank Doyle, the two graduates,
with diplomas.
Gold medals were awarded to the fol-

ACLOUDED TITLE.
Prominent Citizens of St. Paul
Engaged in Litigation.


One of the most interesting real es-
tate eases on the calendar has just come
up before Judge Kelly. 1t is an action
by Josiah Fairchlld, the real estate
dealer, against ex-Gov. William R. Mar
shall, to compel the latter to perform
his contract in the purchase of piece
of real estate. The title of this property
came from Cadwaller c. Washburn, of
Wisconsin, but his wife did not join in
the deed conveying the property.
When the governor died he made pro-
vision for his insane wife in his will in
lieu of her rights to a one-third interest
in the big estate under the law. The
question as to whether this provision
would be accepted by the courts was de-
cided affirmatively by the supreme
court in an elaborate opinion.
SOME YEARS AGO.
The question which arises in the case
before Judge Kelly is whether the ac-
ceptance by the courts of that provision
bars the wife from any claim to the land
aliened by her husband in his deed of
conveyance. Gov. Marshall does not
want to perform his part of the con-
tract on the ground that Mrs. Wash
burns claim, arising out of her not
signing the deed, is cloud upon the
title, and Mr.. Fairchild has brought the
case into court to have the question
settled.

Red Rock campers were disposed to
take things easy yesterday, but the fact
that Sam Jones preached his farewell
sermon at 2 O'Clock brought large as
sembIy together to hear the little South
erner.
At $50 a. m. Rev. M. d. Terwilliger
gave representation of the Jewish tab
ernacle. and at 10:30 Bishop TAYLOR
preached an impressive sermon on .sfhe
Condition of the Heather Under the
Law of God"
Sam Jones spoke from the first chap
ter of st. Peter, the fifth to the eleventh
verses. Among the characteristic re-
marks of the sermon were: "Reputa-
ton is like the glove that can tear off
and throw away and have lost but lit
tie; but to destroy character is to tear
off the hand. Just as truly as the piano
tuner can mend piano so as to make
ITS TONES HARMONIZE,
so God can set the ten commandments
to music in my soul. Many Methodist
preachers will get up next election day
and ask God to bless the result of that
election and then go out and vote
against the only party which is trying
to save this country from the old devil.
