The action of the Minnesota Legis-
lature has frightened the anthracite
coal trust out of its senses. No firm
or corporation in a sane condition
would gravely threaten a great COM
monweath with deprivation of a
necessity of life in which such firm
or corporation traded. Edmund
Burke said; "You can not frame an
indictment against a nation" so
neither can you proclaim a boycott
against a State; the undertaking is
too vast. There is, for example, such
weapon against monopoly as the
doctrine of eminent domain. In case
OF emergency, such, for instance, as
the refusal of a great monopolistic
association of coal owners to sell coal
on reasonable terms, State govern.
ment or national government may
seize their mines and operate them
for the benefit of the people, paying
to the owners of them reasonable
compensation, and no more than that
We are Of those who would be sorry
were the government compelled by
circumstances to resort to this eX-
IRENE measure, but Of its power and
right to resort to it there is no doubt.
There is, however, very little cause
to apprehend the necessity of such
governmental action. Strong State
laws, supplemented by Federal law,
can keep the greatest trust in check.
The threat Of the Pennsylvania coal
barons against the State of Minnesota
is but insolent and idle vapor. When
the States Attorney for Cook County
set the laws of Illinois in force
against the anthracite monopoly, its
members proclaimed that they cared
nothing about the trade of Illinois,
that it was nothing but a drop in the
bucket of their commercial trans
actions, and that they were quite
willing to withdraw from the State.
But they did not withdraw-neither
did they advance the price Of coal, as
they were preparing to do when the
States Attorney made war upon
them. The State of Mlnnesota's
cause is the cause of all the Western
States; the same vigor that there is
being displayed against the trust
should be displayed in each of them;
we then should see whether any coal
baron would dare to proclaim a boy
colt against half Of the Republic. The
end OF the trust system is at hand.
The people will not much longer
tolerate its existence. Abundant
means for its suppression is within
reach Of the administrations of the
nation and of each of its component
States. Minnesota is using one OF
such means with considerable vigor,
and with considerable skill also.

that the B. & M. will puta line through

much Of which is in Rocks county, and
this seems to indicate that line will be

STOCK AND FARM.

Kensington Mirror; Uncle Billy
Hobbs is one of the earliest settlers in
Smith county, and he says that he has
never seen better prospect for wheat
than at the present time.
Jewell City Republican: Double
listing seems to be the plan adopted by
majority of the farmers for raising
corn. We believe this to be good
plan, as it works the ground all up in
nice shape and is considerable less work
and productive OF better results than
blowing and checkrowing.
Arkansas City Traveller: Railroad men
say that the Santa Fe railroad company
has all it can do shipping cattle on the
Cherokee strip. At Purcell there is a
lot of cattle and the company have not
power to pull them. They are unload
ing at Wharton, Red Rock, Black Bear,
Bliss, Ponca, Kildare and Chilcoco.
Great Bend Register The warm
weather of the past few days has
warmed the ground, and the wheat that
was sown early and got start is doing
nicely. But the top of the ground is
too dry for the late sown wheat. Farm
ers are beginning to plant their corn,
and il warm weather continues it will
come all right.
Arkansas City Traveller: Major D.
j. M. Wood had a horse die, and the
next day another one did the same
thing. They did not show any signs Of
sickness, but just laid down and died.
Agent Wood thought it best to hold a
post morton examination, and did 80.
Upon cutting the horses open it was
found that their intestines were packed
full of sand. The sand was packed in
solidly and was the cause OF the death
of the horses.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal: A no.
ticeable feature in the hog market,
aside from the sharp advance, was the
strong outside or order demand. The
first time for many day shippers got
the bulk Of the offerings, their purchases
being 2,100 against 1,4O0 by the pack
ers, and it was this shipping demand
more than anything else that influenced
the advance noticed in our market re-
port. A maintenance Of this competi-
ton means much with the country
shipper, rs packers all contend for
lower prices, and only bid up prices
when forced to, to keep the hogs from
going elsewhere.

THERE Is cheerful news from Am
sterdam and Rotterdam and Ham
burg that the Dutch and German au-
thorties are taking extraordinary
precautions to guard the health of
steerage emigrants from those coun-
tries to the United States. Consul
Gardner at Rotterdam aud Consul
Estes at Hamburg have made reports
to the Treasury Department describ-
ing the new hygienic restrictions.
They read mighty we'll on paper, and
as such may do good service to miti-
gate restrictive legislation at Wash
ington. 1t Is life or death with the
steamship companies which subslst
on the steerage passenger traffic
whether immigration be suspended or
not. Still we observe that our old
friend, the Hamburg-American Pest
Company, has new dodge, which
perhaps casts shadow on its disin-
terestedness as purifier Of immigra-
tlon. This, as described by lately
returned passenger, is to pack steer
age passengers-that is, passengers
who have paid steerage rates-into
the first and second cabin and thus
escape steerage regulations. While
such devices are abroad we must dis
trust the honesty of the steamship
companies, and especially of the
Hamburg American Pest Company.

ONCE more the kindly arm of the
law has been thrown about rascal
who, in addition to this speciality,
was also banker in Colorado. Act
ing in the dual capacity of rascal and
banker he had taken deposits when
he knew his concern was insolvent.
His victims took him into court and
then the Judge pronounced the
statute making this particular method
of theft felony unconstitutional,
meaning possibly that it was repug-
nant to the constitution Of the man
at bar. The information that the
Judge had no deposits In the wreck
is perhaps not relevant. Everybody
knows that this could not influence a
decision of the bench one way or the
other.

much. Twenty-six Of the fires were In
cendiary and seventeen started from
gasoline stoves. The department covers
territory included in nine square
miles. The value Of tho property Of
the Ere department is $63,226. The
running expenses Of the fire depart
ment for the year were 1876, 1896. The
heaviest fire loss occurred in February,
when there were twelve alarms and
$3.50 loss. In October there were
twenty one alarms and only S3,302.65
loss. The heaviest loss OF any year was

ANOTHER instance Of the complete
petrifaction Of human body Is re-
ported, this time at Carlyle, Ill. The
remains of John Russell, who was
buried there six years ago, were eX-
humed and were found changed to
stone, the features and form being
faithfully preserved. The process by
which nature effects this change is
but imperfeCtly understood and could
not, perhaps, with the present state
Of knowledge, be accomplished at will
by human agency. We have here by
the chemistry Of nature preventative
process that throws into the shade
even the wonderful skill of the
ancient Egyptians. Some dismal and
unhealthy philosopher, appalled, be-
cause the human Semblance, differing
in all instances from all Others must
be forever lost at death, has sug-
gested that bodies be transported to
the north pole and piled In blocks of
ice for future reference on Judgment
day. The petrifaction process would
be less visionary and might be APP,
piled only to the great people Of the
earth. The only trouble would be in
deciding who the really great we're.
If individuals themselves had any
say in the matter the world would be
so piled with the old lumber in two
or three years that there would be no
room left for the living.
