ways for all its revenue, with hundreds
OF poor families depending on its bouu-
ties; with streets and walks and parks
crying for assistance and improvement
without the needless, wanton cxpend-
ture in changing location of public
buildings just to CRAFTY private inter-
cstsY We do not see how those parties
living in the vicinity of jefferson
square could look their fellow citizens
in the face, being guilty OF such wanton
extravaganza; or how they can listen to
the cry of tho destitute for bread, and
clothing and fuel, and still persist in
such reckless adventure, just that they
individually might reap a larger SHARE
OF the uncarncd incremcnts OF the soil.

advantageously to the commercial
houses springing up in Rapid City and
Deadwood. There are besides these
two chief factors inducements OF a more
speculative character offered by the
mines OF Harney's Peak, and the mines
OF non-refractory ores, where lead is
found having a paying percentage OF
the precious metals. The agricultural
interest has done we'll, and is making
itself felt us producer OF wealth.
Then, on the other hand, in the centers
| OF capital at the east, business is de-
pressed, railroad stocks are giving their
owners perennial night mares, labor is
uneasy, capital is becoming timorous,
and there are in contempla-
tion changes OF tariff which
tend TO unsettle values. At such
time it is but natural that those who
have money for which they desire in
vestment, should read with interest the
glowing accounts given by disnterested
correspondents of affairs at the Black
Hills.
One thing disquiets Deadwood. 1t
has no railroad communication, and
persons wishing to go there must take
the stage precisely as in the days when
Buffalo Bill was performing his heroic
exploits and rescuing the whole outfit
from the attacks OF Sioux warriors.
The Fremont, Elkhorn 81 Missouri Val
ley railroad goes only as far US White
wood, which is nine miles from Dead
wood. 1t has been mutually agreed on
all hands that this failure to connect
was caused by the engineering Difficult
ties that present themselves. In the
first place it would be necessary to tun-
mel through thirteen hundred feet of
solid limestone and then the grade would
be somewhat steep and difficult, and
might render necessary the aid Of IL
second locomotive. But common sense
will convince any thinking citizen of
Deadwood that so enterprising a COM
pany as the Fremont would not be de-
TERED by such small matters as these.
In Omaha it is understood that Dead
woods predicament is largely the result
Of Deadwood' own fault, and though it
is impossible not to sympathize with the
wistful editorials that appear constantly
III tlio DSuuNOOu ~ Soo' ip N'oSo nou ySN
appear that any stops have been taken
to induce the road to come to their city.
1t is generally believed in Omaha that
there was Il movement to make the line
pay smartly for its right-of-way, and
that citizen who held what he con-
sidered was the only place suitable for
a depot, was prepared to charge three
prices for it. Whenever the desire for
railroad communication is so great that
the itching souls who want to bleed any
line coming TO the city will be sup
pressed. there can be no doubt that the
prospects for success will be materially
better. But until the inhabitants are
prepared to welcome railroad in an
other fashion, it is to be feared that the
Deadwood stage will remain the great
institution of the place

CARE IN TRUST LEGISLATION


Very great care must be taken In
Legislation for the prevention and pun
ishment of trusts that it does not go so
far as to interfere with legitimate busi-
ness associations now recognized as
legal and proper, and which are not
effected to accomplish any OF the pur-
poses which render the trust and like
combinations repugnant to law and
public policy. One Of the most strin i
gent and sweeping antitrust bills thus
far presented in any state Legislature is
under consideration by the legislature
OF Illinois, and the objection has
been raised TO it that its effect
might be to prevent two or more firms
engaged In a strictly private business
from entering into a common partner
ship or consolidation, and even inter-
fere with a trades union combination of
worltmen to advance or fix the price of
labor. The point is made that in many
cases business houses and newspapers
are consolidated and partnerships
formed for the express purpose OF avoid
ing the competition for the same
custom that would exist if each partner
were an individual trader or producer,
but this could not be done under the
Illinois bill. The measure pro-
posed in the New York legisla
ture is not subject to this OBJ
lection, having been formed on the
lines of Ise'' recent judicial decision
against the sugar trust. 1t provides
that every contract or part of contract
in restraint of trade is void, that no cit
izen or corporation doing business in
that state shall make an agreement
with any corporation In the state, in
another state, or in a foreign country,
to abstain from doing business. Any
such contract shall be void. and if the
state corporation be guilty the attorney
general shall bring action to forfeit its
franchise, while if the foreign corpora
ton be guilty it shall be forbidden to
do business in the state.
The antitrust bills that have been
introduced in the Nebraska legislature
will need to be very carefully consid-
cred with reference to avoiding the OBJ
lection that is made to the Illinois
measure. The thing to be accomplished
is to prevent combinations of corpora
tions holding franchises or monopolistic
privileges, who organize for the gen.
eral restraint of trade and destruction
of competition, in order that they may
control production and regulate prices.
1t is not required that there shall be
any interference with the legitimate
consolidation of business firms,
which cannot result in monopoly.
The legislators of Nebraska, in
common with those of other states,
should keep in view the Importance of
having the legislation against trusts on
constitutional lines, SO that it shall
work noinjury or injustice to Legitimate
enterprise and stand every legal test.

THE decision in the supreme court OF
Iowa which gives land owners the right
to recover damages for trespass from the
owners OF cattle grazing on unfenced
lands will not find favor IN the eyes of
the cattlemen. The right to free pas
turage on wild lands has for years been
the custom not alone in Iowa but in
Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, and
other western states. The rapid in
crease, however, in the population of
these states and the consequential rise
In the value of prairie lands have made
1t necessary to abridge this time hon
pred custom. While it is true that
rigid enforcement Of the law as handed
down by the Iowa supreme court would
work hardship upon those settlers who
avail themselves of this grazing privil-
ege, it is nevertheless one OF the condi-
tions which the cattlemen must sooner
or later meet due to the rapid growth OF
the western states.

Douglas county delegation. The evil
dent purport Of the measure is to fix the
board OF each prisoner at seventy-hve
cents per day under six days, and fifty
cents per day for each prisoner confined
more than six days. This would make
IL compulsory ON the county to pay the
sheriff the fixed rate, whereas the pres
ent law provides that the board of each
prisoner shall not exceed seventy-fve
cents per day, nor more than fifty cents
for each prisoner confined more than
six days. In accordance with the
law now in force the county
commissioners, for the year 1888,
scaled the shcritf's fees for the
boarding of each prisoner per day to an
average of thirty-seven cents, which is
not only great reduction from fifty
cents, but yields a handsome profit to
the sheriff. In comparison with the
cost for boarding prisoners in Chicago,
st. Louis and other large cities, Doug
las county pays nearly double for the
support of its prisoners. There is no
reason why this should be so. The cost
of the common necessaries of life are
equally as cheap if not cheaper in this
locality than in Chicago. But waving
the question aside, it Is the height of
impudence for the sheritTs of the state
Legislature which would result in un
reasonable eXaction from the taxpayers
of each county in the state.

He Questions the Moral Right OF the
Public to Move the City Hall.

Public to Move the City Hall.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. %, 1SS0.-To the
Editor of The BEE: We claim that it
is an outrageous piece of work on the
part Of the city council and of private
individuals accessory thereto, to stop
the work on the city hall, and finally
wish to abandon it, after the people
have decided by ballot that it should be
built there, appropriating large means
and expending it in constructing the
foundation. What we claim is, that the
people have not a legal, nor natural
right to change the location, after
choosing it and eXpending so much
money upon it. But if they have the
right now to move the city hall location
after it has been established and i'm
proved, then they have right to take
down and remove the court house, which
stands opposite; and anyone knows they
have no right to do that. Who is there
that does not know that there is no pub
lie sentiment in favor Of removing
either, but only private interest? Who
is there that does not know that it is
only private interests and selfish pur-
poses on the part OF prop
erty owners in the north portion
of the city who are greedily
willing to sacrifice the public treasury
for their own interests? Have we no
courts of justice to put a stop to such
needless expenditures? If private in
terests are allowed to go so far, where

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS,

There is a disposition in congress to
insist that the interests and rights of
the United States in Samoa shall be
maintained. The jingoism of Senator
Frye does not meet with very extended
approval, but there is an evident deter
mination not to complacently submit to
the high-handed proceedings of Ger
many, which are admittedly in viola
tion Of International agreement. The
amendments to the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill reported from
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, which provide appropriations, to
be immediately available, to enable the
president to protect American citi-
zens in Samoa, and also to estab-
lish there naval and coaling station,
will undoubtedly be approved by both
houses of congress. The sum proposed to
be placed at the disposal of the president,
six hundred thousand dollars, is simply
an emergency fund, to be used in the
executive discretion in equipping men
Of war or transporting troops, but it is
sufficient to show the temper of congress
relative to this matter.
AS yet it does not clearly appear just
what rights the United States has at
stake. In his communication to congress
in reference to the Somoan in
broglio the president spoke of
treaty arrangements to which this
country is party. The for
eign relations committee of the SEN
ate also refers to such obligations. In
his instructions to Admiral Kimberly
the secretUry of the navy spoke of the
conduct of Germany as sin violation of
positive agreement and understanding
between treaty powers" But Secretary
Bayard is quoted as having said that
the United States has no joint treaty
with either England or Germany in"re-
gard to the neutrality of Samoa, but
a sort of general agreement or under
standing, so that if the neutrality of
Samoa has been interfered with by
Germany she has not broken treaty
with the United States, but only with
Great Britain. If this be the case
the extent of the duty of this govern
ment would seem to be merely that of
seeing that American citizens in Sa-
moa are protected, and that adequate
reparation be made for any outrages or
losses inflicted on them. This govern
ment may employ all proper efforts and
influences to bring about peaceful set
tlement of the difficulties on the islands,
but if it has no treaty rights to main
tain it is not called upon to use its power
to perpetuate the neutrality or inde-
pendeuce of Samoa.
Secretary Bayard's generally tempor-
laing policy respecting international
affairs has subjected him to
sharp criticism in the mat
ter. This may not be altogether de-
served, but there can be no question
that he might have shown more interest
and spirit at the outset of these Difficult
ties, the effect of which would very
likely have been greatly to the advan-
tage of American citizens in Samoa. AS
it is there will probably be long
period of diplomatic controversy, if
nothing worse, and Americans who
have suffered will wait perhaps years
for indemnity, and may never have full
justice done then.
