The Montana Election Dispute
sherman's Anti.rrust Bill,

WASHINGTON, March 24.-In the
Senate, HOar, from the committee
on privileges and elections, reported
four resolutions in the case OF the
persons claiming seats as Senators
from Montana, two declaring Clark
and Maginnis not entitled TO seats,
and the other two declaring San
ders and Power, on the merit. Of
the case, TO be entitled TO scat.
Resolutions from the minority, max
ing an opposite report, were re-
ported by Gray, and all ordered
printed, Hoar giving notice that
he would ask the Senate 10 con-
slider them Thursday.
House bills were reported and
placed on the calendar AS follows:
To insure purity of elections in
Arizona; to authorize Ogden, Utah,
to assume increased Indebtedness.
The Senate bill ceding public
lands to California and other States,
in aid Of irrigation Of dry and arid
land, was reported back from the
Commissioner ON Public Lands ad-
versely, and indefinitely postponed.
Several petitions against the rati-
ticatiUn OF The extraditiUn treaty
with Russia having been presented,
Hoar said that he would ence more
raise the question as to their presen-
tation in open session. After de-
bate the point of order was with
drawn for the time being.
Shernian's antitrust bill was
taken up, and Turpie discussed the
constitutional points.
George opposed the amendment
offered by Reagan, being
HIS ANTITRUST BILL.
Teller said he was inclined to vote
for the bill, although be was not
sanguine Of its accomplishing its
purpose Unless the States took
hold Of the question and suppressed
those trusts by limiting the amount
of capital that can be aggregated in
any corporation, the trouble would
continue. The bill, he said, would
spply TO the National Farmers Al
lance and the National Farmers
League, which were organized with
the avowed purpose Of increasing
the price OF farm products, a thing
which he regarded as most desirable
and rs absolutely essential to the
prosperity Of the country. de was
extremely anxious TO take hold Of
and control these great trusts and
combinations Of capital which were
the commerce Of the
country. He did not want, how
ever, to go TO the extent Of interfer-
ing with organizations which he
thought were absolutely justified by
the remarkable condition Of things
in the country. He referred to the
Knights Of Labor as another
organization that would come
within the scope Of the bill, because
the object OF the order was to in.
crease their wages and consequent
ly increase the cost Of productions.
Teller admitted that the knights
Of LabOr and all trades unions in
the country were practically in
cluded in the bill, and suggested
to the committee which reported IL
whether il could not be so wOrded as
to confine il to trusts that were Of

JUSTICE BRADLEY,

for himself and Justices Gay and
Lamar, delivered an oral dissent.
IL seemed TO him that the decision
Of the court practically overruled
its decision in other cases, in which
it had been held that the adjustment
Of rates was n legislative and not n
judicial prerogatlve- The courts
should never make issue with the
Legislative department where it was
possible to avoid ii. 1t might be
asked IL the public was not at the
mercy Of the legislature? He an
swered yes; there had to be final
tribunal somewhere 10 decide every
case. The question was which was
the proper final tribunal? In his
opinion it was the legislature. He
did not mean that there might not
arise circumstances which would
give the judicial power in the mat
ter, but it was not so in this case.

THE MISoTITY

report asserts that the true Legisla-
ture Of Montana was the Senate
and House which met ut the court
house in Helena, and was recognized
by the governor. Neither the House
nor the members thereof which eli ct
ed Sanders and Power were ever
recognized by the governor, nor was
their pretended election oiSenatOTs
ever certified TO by him. The evil
dence proved, also, that five persons
who acted rs members Of the Iron
Hill convention were no. elected by
the people Of Silver Bow county,
whom they claimed TO represent.
They only had certificates Of cleo
ton. The five members really
elected by the peope, holding certi-
ficates also, sat and voted in the

BALFoUR-s BILL
For Land Purchase In Ireland and
the Improvement of Land.

LONDON, March 24.-Balfour in
troduced a bill for the purchase OF
land in Ireland and for the improve
ment Of the poorer and more ex-
hausted districts. The bill also pro-
yides for the establishment of an
Irish land department. Balfour said
that in proposing the formation Of a
land department the complex nature
of the question presented itself.
There were now no fewer than five
bodies for the valuation and sale of
land. The bill proposed an amalga-
nation of these into one body. Re
garding the question, ''Ought the
land purchase bill to be compul-
sOry?n the government answered
no. COmpulsion should be used
most sparingly [ironical Irish
cheersl, but when justified by ne
cessity 1t should be applied. Compul-
sion could not be One-sided. II they
compelled landlords TO sell, they
must force tenants to buy. A most
cogent reason against compulsion
was that they could not make the
bill compulsory without applying
it to the whole Of Ireland. The
government saw no possibility Of
the immediate consummatiOn Of
such an enormous transaction as
the compulsory transfer Of the
whole of the land Of Ireland from
the existing owners to occupiers.
Ought they to throw any risk upon
the British taxpayers. The govern
ment answered no. Still, British
credit, under perfectly secure con-
ditions, must be used in dealing
with the question Of advances to
tenants to enable them to purchase.
The government had decided
against advancing more than twenty
years rental at the local rates now
PAID BY THE LANDLORDS.
Balfour then went on at great
length TO explain the scheme CT
the security of funds, the latter being
very complicated. The bill, in a
large portion, is the AshbOurne act,
improved and with additions Tt
quired for security for purchasers,
etc. After au elaborate financial
detail, showing how the imperial
exchequer would provide against
default, Balfour said a default was
impossible unless there WIS 4 repeti-
ton of the famine of 1915. 1t is
designed to use oDe-fourth Of l per
cent as fund for the erection of
IabOrers' dwellings. A grant OF n
million and a half from the Irish
Church surplus would be devoted to
relieving depression, fostering in
dustries and amelioratiBg the cOndi-
ton Of the poor districts. Balfour,
in conclusion, defended the scheme
rs without risks TO the imperial tax
Iayer, while the e33, 0O0,O00 adj
vanced under the bill, with the
$40. 600, 600 of the Ashbourne act,
would establish a perpetual fund,
from which future purchases might
he made.
Gladstone said the scheme was
certainly very complicated, and
thanks were due to BalfOur for the
obvious plans he had taken in its
preparation. 1t was premature. he
added. 10 discuss the involved pro-
posals of the bill.
The bill passed its first reading.

COURT MARTIAL.


CHICAGO, March 2i.-The Lieu
tenant Steele court martial was
resumed this morning. Steele adj
mitted striking Trooper Wild, but
declared that Wild was insolent and
insubordinate.
Captain Phelps testified that " lid
was insOlent, insubordinate and
gave more trouble than any other
man in the troop. Witness had
never known in twenty years ex-
perience a better officer Of his age
than Lieutenant Steele.
Captain Weeks (retired) testified to
the good character and reputation Of
Lieutenant Steele.
Colonel Townsend, commander at
Fort Yates, said report Of the case
was made to him by both Steele and
Wild. Steele admitted having
struck Wild in a moment of passion
and regretted il. Townsend rebuked
him for it and told him no officer
who cannot control hi. own temper
can expect to control other men.
PRIVATE WILD
then came IN ana asked II Steele
had a right to call him a miserable
deserter and strike him.
Townsend replied he had not and,
further, told Wild that the order he
had refused to obey was a perfectly
proper one, and that he was guilty
Of grave breach OF discipline.
Steele asked the colonel if Wild
was not to be tried by the garrison
court. AS TO the punishment he had
received, it was less than he might
have got from n general court-mar-
tial. Colonel Townsend considered
Lieutenant Steele one Of the very
best young officers Of the army.
This ended the testimony and, after
arguments by Steele's counsel and
Judge Advocate Murray, the case
was closed. The finding Of the court
will not be made known for some
time. On account Of General Crooks
death, It will be passed upon by
General Schefield.

RAILRoAp DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court
today reversed the decision Of the
Minnesota supreme court against
certain railroad companies, known
as the "Granger cases" The issue
was certain rates prescribed by the
State railroad commissioner, which
the railroad companies asserted
were so low as TO practically amount
TO the deprival Of the company OF
its property without due process Of
law. Justice Blatchford, delivering
the opinion OF the court, says il
must accept the construction put
upon the State statute by the Min
nesOta supreme court, when that
court declared that II is the expressed
intention Ofthe Legislature that the
rates fixed by the Railroad Commits
siOner are not simply advisory, but
final and conclusive, that the law
neither contemplates nor allows any
issue made or an inquiry had as to
their equality or reasOnableness, in
fact, in other words, although the
railroad company is forbidden to
establish rates not equal and reason
able, there is no power in the courts
10 stay the COmmissis ner II he
chooses TO establish rates that are
unequal and unreasonable.
The question Of reasOnableness of
rates for transportation by a railroad
company, says the opinion, is emin-
emily question
FOR JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION,
requiring due process Of law for its
determination. II company l. de-
p.ived Of the power Of charging Tea-
sonable rates in the absence OF in
vestigation by judicial machinery,
it is deprived Of the lawful Use Of It's
property and thus, in substance and
effect, Of the property itself without
due process Of law and in violation
Of the Constitution, and, while |
other persons are permitted to re-
ceive reasonable profits from Invest-
Ell capital, this company is denied
equally the protection Of the law.
Justice Miller concurred with |
some hesitation in the judgment Of
the court. He was Of the opinion
that the legislature, CT the commits |
sioner appointed by il, had a right |
TO establish rates, but where unjust |
rates were fixed the parties ag-
grieved had n right to appeal to the
courts. The railroads should have |
n right TO he heard, and, as the |
supreme court Of Minnesota refused
this, the case, in his opinion, should |
be reversed on the ground that this |
is denial Of due process Of law.

rs representatives were not elected
by the people Of Silver Bow County.
The Territorial board Of canvassers,
on the 9Th of November, 1889, issued
certificates to five persons not elect
ed, by throwing out the vote Of
Precinct "a, which had given a
large majority to the democratic
candidates. This act Of the board
was done without any right or au-
thority. They had full returns Of
the true vote Of the county before
them. Being republicans and
anxious TO serve their party in what
they thought an emergency, they
refused TO count or canvass the real
vote Of the people and certified to
the election Of five persons not
chosen, in the hope and with the
expectation that these spurious re-
presentatives might in some way
vote for partisans Of their own polili-
cal faith as candidates for the United
States Senate.
The majority report is signed by
all REPUBLICAN members Of the COM
mittee and the minority by the
democrats.

THE SILVER BILL.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-By
vote Of seven to five the House conf
mittee on coinage, weights and mea-
sures, today authorized Chairman
Conger TO report the Window silver
bill 70 the House, with q number Of
amendments. The first Is TO section
D. This section makes IL the duty
Of the Secretary OF the Treasury 70
refuse to receive deposits Of silver
when the market price Of silver
shall exceed one dollar for 37l.25
grains pure silver. The committee
added the following: Crowded,
that when the market price of silver,
as determined in accordance with
section OF this act, Is one dollar
for S7l-25 grains, pure silver, it
shall oe lawful for the owner Of sill
yer bullion to deposit the same at
any coinage mint Of the United
States, to be coined into standard
silver dollars, as provided for in the
act Of January 18th, 1850.
The next amendment strikes out
section 6, which authorizes the Sec
rotary to suspend temporarily the
receipt OF silver bullion at any time
when satisfied that, through com
binAtions or speculative manipula-
ton of the market, the price Of silver
is arbitrary, nominal or fictitious.
The next amendment Is one pro-
posed by the Secretary, adding n
new section, which provides for
stamping the word ''foreign'' on
resultant bars Of all foreign silver
bullion or coins to be remelted or re-
fined.
The next amendment is section ii,
which provides that nothing in the
act shall be construed TO affect the
legal tender quality Of the standard
silver dollar.
A minority report on the bill will
also be submitted.
THE PRESIDENT
sent to the Senate the nomination
of Major Thaddeus H. Stanton, pay
master, to be LieutenantC Colonel
and Deputy Psymaster-General.
LAND GRANT FORFEITUREs.
The House committee on public
lands, after trying in vain for sever
al months to secure an agreement
upon the general land grant for
fixture bill, this morning decided to
shift the controversy to the House
by reporting the two bills embody-
ing the points ut issue. They are
the Payson bill, which declares the
forfeiture Of lands opposite uDcom-
pleted portions Of aided railroads
and the Stone bill, which, in addi-
ton, proposes that suit be brought
against the railroad companies to
recover all the lands opposite any
constructed part Of road not COM
pleted within the time specified In
the granting act

fore apparent that the preservation of
competition among our through rail
road systems is necessary for the pur.
pose of lessening the cost and increas,
ing the conveniences of the freight
and passenger transportion. 1t is
also apparent that the absorption By
a single corporation of the railroads
of Georgia will have a tendency to
prevent railroad building in this
State.
In conclusion, Mr.. Smith urged
those present to support no one for
Governor whose views were antag.
onistic to the interests of the people
on these questions, and to instruct
their delegate not to vote for any one
who was not openly with the masses
in the fight for low rates and compe.
tition.
He also urged the election of mem
bers of the legislature who will stand
upon the same line.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-03-11

And this in the increased cost of
transportation resulting chiefly flom
want of competition.
He stated that he is entirely in &C.
cord with the proposition that it might
be beneficial to the people of this sec
ton to allow the construction of great
through lines to the Northwest, but
to derive the full benefit from them it
is necessary to preserve competition
between them and not allow them to
form a single trust.
An illustration may be found in
Georgia which pointedly showed the
effect of competition in reducing
freight rates. Americas until last
summer did not appear upon the list
OF those places to which the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association
fixed a through rate. The Central
railroad alone reached that city. That
policy universally pursued, of charg-
ing just as much as the traffic will
bear, was pursued by the Central.
The charges were more than fair COM
pensation justified, for as soon as com.
petition reached Americas, the South.
ern Steamship Association put down
rates, the idea being that the rates
having been too Highland two indie.
pendent lines entering the city, there
would be a great ~inducement on the
part of each to secure business, and a
more reasonable rate was required to
prevent a general cut. The following
table gives a schedule of prices per
100 pounds for different classes OF
freight from Amer1cus to Cincinnati
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-03-11

Thus it will be e that the sour of
competition was continually lessening
the rates of transportation where com
petition existed.
But let us compare the rates upon
this same line where competition exists
with the rates over the Richmond and
Danville where competition does not
exist.
COMPETITION VERSUS NO COMPETITION.
Mr. Smith then showed the pro rata
of through freight rates made from
Western points to the lines between
Atlanta and Chattanooga, where COM
petition exists, and between Atlanta
and Central, S. c., where there is no
competition, the distance from Atlanta
to Chattanooga being 1873 miles and
the distance from Atlanta to Central
being 1873 miles. He drew the con-
clusion that the following was about
the increased cost of transportation on
through freight fom the West via At
lanta to Central in excess of that via
Chattanooga to Atlanta:

A COMPETITOR WITH THE STATE.

The State of Georgia, recognizing
the wisdom of competition, chartered
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, making a competitor
with our own property the Western
and Atlantic railroad. This was
done in the belief that the people
would obtain more benefit from the
lessening of the cost of transportation
than they would from the monopoly
kept to themselves in the shape of the
Western and Atlantic railroad. And
what has been the result Take the
East Tennessee for example:'
