The LAW IN POLITICS.
The Senate Committee Investiga-,
ton Viewed by the Breeders

The Senate Committee Investiga-
ton Viewed by the Breeders
Gazette.
Breeders Gazette.
The committee charged by the senate
OF the United States with the duty of
inquiring into the cause of the wide
spread depredations in the beef-pro-
ducing industry made an attempt to put
the parties alleged to be chiefly res
ponsible for the prevailing low prices
on the rack In this city last
week, but without success. Messrs.'
Armour and Swift were invited to APP
pear before the commission, but declined
with thanks. Mr.. Armour was then
subpmnaed in due form, but still re-
manned obstreperous. refusing point
blank to put himself, as he expressedit it,
in the hands of committee so packed
and prejudiced against him that no
justice could be expected at its hands.
The Chicago packers are particu-
larly savage in their references to SEN
ator Vest, OF Missouri, whose sole mo-
tive, they allege, is TO iniure the trade
In this market in the hope that st. Louis
may profit thereby. Senators Coke. of
Texas. and Plumb. Of Kansas, who are
also members of the committee. are
doubtless hostile to the big Four"
while Henderson, Of Nebraska, and
Farwell, of illinois, probably APP
proach the subject reasonably from all
bias. 1t will not do to assume that Mr..
Farwell will be found wholly devoted TO
the dressed-beef interest. The Illinois
senator represents an agricultural con-
stituency, which exercises altogether
too potent an influence in the state to
render It good politics for him to place
himself in a position where he may be
charged with proving false to the trust
that has been reposed in him by the
farmers and cattle growers OF Illinois.
That the tendency Of the dressed beef
trade has restrictive of competition in
leading markets in the highest degree
is q fact as fixed as the cnactments of
the Modes and Persians. That the
magnates of this trade are those of the
manipulatOrs of all other aggregatiOns of
capital in all lines of business, i.e., in the
direction of stiffling competition and mo-
nopolizing trade, is equally true. That
they stop at nothing that gigantic cap
ital can compass in their efforts at con-
trolling absolutely the output of dressed
product at leading points of distribution
and consumption is only saying that
they conduct their business on lines
similar to those pursued by the
syndicates now operating so extern
siyely in all the avenues of American
commerce. But the question is, can
constitutional authority be found for as
sumiDg governmental direction OF
their business which shall in some man

when similar combinations in other
lines are permitted to remain unmolest-
ed? And this simply brings us face to
face with the greatest political econo-
mic problem Of the age-the abridg-
ment Of the rights and un-
limited privileges Of the leviathan
financial powers that apparently rule
the edifice Of state from turret to
foundation stOne.' This question is
now pressing upon the nation more
closely than ever before in its history.
1t is one which increases in difficulty Of
solution day by day as pools, trusts. and
combinations Of almost princely power
multiply and wax fat at public expense:
and what the end will be is some
thing We must c0ncede our inability to
discern. Whether the legislation of the
world will always continue to be In the
interest Of the creditor classes or not is
query We can only refer to
those who shall hereafter exercise
the elective franchise; but so long
as farmers and stock-growers con-
tinue to be led by the nose by design
ing politicians they may continue to
look in vain for statutes to protect their
interests. So long as members of state
and national legislatures are voted for
by farmers solely because OF utilization
with one or the other of the two great
political parties. no special attention is
likely TO be paid to agricultural inter
ests.
To say that our sympathies are all
with the cattle growers in this senator
ial investigation is snperfuOus, but we
must frankly confess that we can see
little in the way of tangible relief to
follow as result of the official inquiry.
1t may serve however, to emphasize the
fact that the COW has entered the arena
of politics in this country, and Is no re-
specter of present party lines.
The civil war closed nearly twenty-five
years ago, and living issues are rapidly
taking the place of those hap
PLY defunct. The question of the hour
pOlitically-sO far as farmers are con-
cerned-is not, are you a Democrat or
Republican, but are you a cattleman? If
those who have lost money in cattle
growing and feeding the past few years
will but apply that test for while we
may, In time, hope for some effective
relief from present ills. Where there is
an honest intention to ameliOrate pres
ent conditions way to It's accomplish
ment will in due time be devised.
Let the Investigation proceed. But
in the meantime inquire how your mem-
Der OF congress, you senators, your gov
eTnor and your representatives in the
state legislature stand with reference
to matters agricultural. How many
professional politicians" are on the
list, and how many intelligent, patriotic.

Tho RattIer's Mistake.

Virginia Chronicle.
Justice of the Peace Kehoe returned
yesterday from 4 months sojourn at
Rubicon Springs. He relates the fol-
lowing amusing incident, which, for a
time, relieved the monotony of life at
that secluded mountain resort:
While wandering about in the vicn-
fly of RockbOund Lake, accompanied
by a boy, the judge was struck on the
leg by the fangs OF large rattlesnake.
The boy witnessed the snake strike the
judges leg and ran back to the hotel in
Rubicon and gave the alarm.
A rescue party was hurriedly organ
lied by the guests. The party, armed
with at least barrel of whisky in TASKS,
decanters and bottles, fastened in the
direction of the spot where the judge
had been bitten by the venomous rep
tile. The members of the rescue party
had not proceeded far on their humane
mission when they observed the judge
apprOaching-his usual limp in walking
seemed greatly intensified to their
alarmed Imagination. a grand rush
