TRUSTS DEFINED.

Senator REAGAN does not subscribe
to Mr.. BLAINE'S doctrine that trusts are
private affairs. with which the president
of the United States or any private
citizen has no right to interfere. On the
contrary, Mr.. REAGAN has introduced
bill in the senate which proposes to
abolish trusts, and which defines these
conspiracies as "a combination of capt.
tai or skill by two or more persons to
create restrictions of trade, to limit, re-
duce or increase production or price of
commodities, or to prevent competition
in the manufacture or sale of anything"
His bill proposes to punish such combi-
nations, whose operations extend to two
or more states, by fine of $1,000 and
imprisonment of the conspirators for
not less than one year nor more than
five years.
This is simon-pure Democratic trust
doctrine, and the Democratic party is
willing to stand or fall by it. If Mr..
BLAINE wants to force the lighting on
this line, we will meet him at Philippi.
The great mass of the people who are
suffering from the extortions of these
trusts will decide at the ballot box
in November whether Mr.. BLAINE OF
Mr.. REAGAN gives the correct defini-
ton of trust conspiracieS.

PIERRE, Oak, Aug. 23.-The steamer
Rosebud to-day brought from Standing
Rock agency the Sioux commissioners
and party on their way to Crow Creek
and Lower Brule agencies. The COM
mlssloners claim to have been fairly
successful at Standing Rock. They
nave obtained the signatures of
large number of Standing Rock Sioux,
ana expect the others will sign
on their return. The commissioners as
sert that their hired Interpreters con-
nlved with the squaw-men, half-breeds
and half dozen hostile chiefs, to de
feat their mission by intimidating those
who were disposed to sign, and even
deciding in secret council to kill the
first buck who signed. The sentiment
among the rank and file was too
strongly in favor of the treaty, however,
and many Indians signed before the
commissioners LETT Standing Rock, one
instance of this kind being when they
boarded the boat to 60, a number of In
dams, including the chiefs Standing
Rock and Big Thunder, came aboard
and signed, fearing that the commits
sloners would not return. The commits
sioners consider it diplomacy in getting
the Lower Brule and Crow Creek Sioux
before visiting Cheyenne or returning
to Standing Rock, as the former are
ready to sign.

A MESSAGES THAT COUNTS.

''These are subjects which partisan
ship should not disturb or confuse" is
the concluding statement of the ringing
message which President CLEVELAND
sent to congress yesterday relative to
the rejection by the senate of the fisher
les treaty. What rebuke 1t was to the
Republican majority in the senate. and
what magnificent defense the message
is of the policy pursued by the admins
tratiOn in effecting negotiation OF the
treaty! If in nothing else Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND had given evidence of possessing
high order of craftsmanship and capac-
ity for dealing with the most compli-
Gated questions, this message alone
would distinguish him as a states
man and man safe to be en-
trusted with power in any national
crisis. Rising above personal or party
considerations, he disdains to bow under
the humiliation which the Republican
senate sought to heap upon his admin
istration, and remembering that he is
the nations chief magistrate he points
out to congress the necessity for main
tanning the high standard and becoming
pride of American citizenship rather
than to be engaged in foolish effort to
snub the administration.
The retaliatOry policy urged by the
president is the only course now left for
our government to pursue if our na-
tional dignity is to be preserved and the
interests of American citizens are to be
protected. The senate having rejected
treaty that was wise and just and
which would have made an amicable
settlement of all the troubles between
the two nations, the executive depart
ment can not do otherwise than to en-
ploy such available means as are found
at hand to protect our national inter-
ests. The only alternative is a retalia-
tory policy.
That retaliation is likely to bring
about conflict between the two coun-
tries must be admitted. But that is
neither here nor there in determining
what policy our government should
pursue. The president has consider
ately pointed out to congress the duty
of outlining policy that would, as far
as possible, protect our own citizens
from the Inconvenience which must
lie :essarily result from the suspension Of
all laws that permit the transit of Brit
ish goods through American territory.
Yet congress may do the very best that
can be done in this direction, still there
would be many instances where Ameri-
can interests would suffer. A case in
mind is that of the new $500 railroad,
whose through:traffic would be closed by
adopting the policy recommended by
the president. And yet a few private
interests. or the few individual cases of
hardship that might occur, would not
justify our government in refusing to
take an aggressive position in defense
of our national honor.
The president can rest assured that
the American people are at his back in
the courageous stand he has taken, and
will support him to the end.

THE FARMERS ON TOP.

The disposition manifested by the
Iowa and Wisconsin Republicans to
cater to the farmer element this year is
significant fact. 1t indicates that the
tariff is to be more of an issue in the
Northwest this year than the Republic
can managers have been willing to
admit; and it is also confession that
the Republican farmers are on. the tariff
reform side of the question. tits hardly
possible that, under other circum-
stances, w. d. HOARD could have been
nominated for governor in Wisconsin,
or that the anti-corporation element
could have won so easy victory in the
Iowa Republican state convention.
Minnesota Republicans find themselves
in pretty much the same condition that
their brethren in Iowa and Wisconsin
were caught. The anti-monopoly SEN
timent is too strong for the bosses to
stem, and, although it is like pulling
their eye-teeth to do it, the bosses will
have to make concessions to the farmer
vote. SCHEFFER ard his alliance plat
form is an awfully bitter bill for the
corporation managers of the Republican
party to swallow, but it looks as if they
would have it to do,

EARLY MATURITY IN SHEEP
Should Not Be Forced, But Nature
Aided and Encouraged.

AIueu ana Encouraged.
Referring to an article which ap-
peared some time ago in the Mark Lane
Express, correspondent of that paper
says: II quite agree with the writer
when he says forcing young stock to
early maturity is attended with evils of
various kinds. No good can result from
forcing nature, but in time, with perse-
verance, nature will respond to our en-
deavorS, and | can not admit that young
stock when fed properly will put on fat
to excess. There are many breeds of
sheep no doubt that it would be unwise
to feed up in its baby stage; but Hamp-
of precocity has been acquired by Sc
lection and fixed by time in the flock, will
build UP and mature a carcass at an
aStonishingly early age without over
loading the frame with fat, and there is
no breed of sheep SO well adapted for
early feeding and breeding as the
Hampshire Down. AS an instance of
what may be done with Hampshire
flock Tin which the instinct of precocity
has been fiXed)'in early feeding, / last
year sold off the whole of my wether
lambs to the butchers from seven to ten
months old. They were fed in the Or
binary way, folded over the fodder crops
in the open field, and at nine months
old some of them weighed as much as
fifteen and sixteen stone of eight
pounds, the dressed carcasses having
had from the time OF their birth cake
and corn of the average value of four
pence per week. The average increase
was. three pounds of meat per week;
the Cost, therefore, expended in trough
food was little over one and one
quarter pence per pound of butchers
meat.

PURE POLITICS

Not as partisan organ, but as the foe
to all that is bad, corrupt and debasing
in politics, the GLOBE raises its voice in
protest against the corruption in Ram
sey county practlced now by the So
called leaders Of the Republican party.
When to carry caucuses, which are
supposed to be free-will expressions of
popular sentiment, the expenditure of
hundreds of dollars is necessitated, and
votes are bought and sold so shame
lessly that cCncealment is not neces-
sary. the leaders of the Republican or
any other party have sunk to level
damning in its depth.
For such leaders only ruin awaits.
The pure, sober sense of the people,
irrespective of party. will not tolerate
such procedure.
When gold must pave the way to
Office, then indeed it is time for party to
be forgotten and the right enforced by a
united people.
The GLOBE warns the Republican
leaders that if the tactics now being
pursued in Ramsey county are carried

What is the tariff? 1t is tax; a tax
levied by the general government upon
the commodities that the laboring man,
as we'll as other men, uses. 1t is tax
that takes hold of everything from the

your shoes; that taxes every implement
which you use in your mechanical and

Spec1al TO the GLOBE.
DELANo, Aug. 23.-Quite an excite
ment has been raised in the town of In
dependence, Hennepin county, by the
appearance of eleven men painted up
in Indian style, firing off guns and
frightening the peaceful inhabitants al
most out of their WITS Some of the
gang came to the house of John w.
Pearson and discharged their fire arms
night before last. During the night
several shots were heard by the already
wakeful neighborhood. Raids Oh potato
patches have been made. Four dogs
have been shot. One citizen drew a
bead on one of the roughs, but his gun
missed fire. and consequently the man
escaped. Nels BergStrom reports about
hundred men in search of the party
to-day, farmers having suspended mar
vesting for the purpose of aScertaining
the meaning of the disturbance.
