A WAR ON MONOPOLY.

Much interest is being manifested in
the proceeding that has been instituted
by the attorney general of New York to
restrain the American Tobacco company
from doing business in that state, be-
cause 1t is clearly perceived that If the
action shall be sustained by the courts
and the company be driven out of the
state it will doom every trust and COM
binatiOn having it's headquarters in
New York to a like fate. AS the Jour
nal of Commerce says, the methods Of
the tobacco company are similar to
those of the other great mOnopOlistic
combinations organized in another state
and doing business in New York under
II certificate granted by the secretary of
state in virtue Of the comfy usually
recognized in the case of foreign COM
bina tions. and If the tobacco company's
way of doing business Is in contraven-
lion of the laws of the state, so Is that
of the Sugar trust and other more or
less despotic monopolies similarly or,
ganiZed and conducted.
This gives the action instituted by the
attorney general of New York national
Importance, for il the certificate pro-
cured by one trust from the secretary OF
state be vacated, annulled and set aside
as contrayening the laws of the state
the same action must follow in the case
of the others doing business in the same
Illegal manner, under like authorization.
THAT would mean," says the Journal of
Commerce, which has made a most Wig
orous and persistent fight against the
trusts, mot only an end to trust meth
DDS in the state OF New York, but would
seal their doom throughout the United
States, for apart from the certainty that
the action of this state would be fol-
lowed In all the commercial common
wealths of the union, exclusion from
New York would be fatal To the exist
ence of any of the great manufacturing
and trading monOpolies." In view of
this the business interests OF the whole

IRRIGATION IN NEBRASKA.

The Importance of the decision
handed down last week by the supreme
court of Nebraska, affirming the valid
ity of the irrigation act passed by the
last legislature, is probably not fully ap-
preciated by the people Of this state.
The court declared the act to be CON
stitutional, and inasmuch as the Ne
braska law is essentially the same as
that of California, whose law was ju-
dicially declared TO be unconstitutional.
the decision of our highest court Is of
great interest or course the question
may be taken to the federal courts, but
the probabilities are in favor of the de-
cision being sustained, in the event of
an appeal being taken to the United
States courts.
There Is no question, perhaps, affect
ing the interests of Nebraska more inn
portant that that of irrigation and 1t
should receive from all our people the
most earnest consideration. There Is

While He's running the sky;

I'm thankful for sun an for showers:

WdTTERSON ON LINCOLN.

During the coming week Colonel
Henry Watterson, the able and brilliant
editor of the Louisville COurier-Journal.
will deliver in this city his famous adj
dress on Abraham Lincoln. We be-
speak for Colonel Watterson cordial
welcome and we feel confident that he
will receive it. Distinguished as n
journalist and an orator, he has a
stronger claim to popular attention, es-
pecially on the part of the northern
people, for the great service he has
done in inculcatlng the sentiment of
loyalty to the union and love of the
flag among the people of the south.
Colonel WattersOn fought for the con-
federate cause and made an enviable
record for bravery in support of what
he believed to be right, but when that
cause was lost he accepted the result
and at once addressed himself to the
task of harmonZing the sections and
creating fraternal relations between the
people of the north and south. No
southern man has accomplished more in
this direction than Henry Watterson
the creation of that spirit which has
elevated the new south. 1t was Colonel
Watterson's eloIuence that induced the
Grand Army of the Republic to hold its
first encampment on southern soil and it
was his efforts which largely contrib
uted to make it perhaps the most mem.
orable encampment ever held.
Colonel Wattcrson Is II brilliant orator,
in some respects without peer among
contemporary orators. In his address
on Lincoln, for whose character he has
the highest admiration, Colonel Waiter
son is at his best and the effort has
everywhere received unqualified com
