1.HE MAYOR.S APPOINTMENTS

The appointments to charter Offices
made by Mayor MoOres and promptly

States. The assistant city engineer, E.

A MUNICIPAL TRIUMPH.
Des MOines' Plan for Electric Light
OTvnershfp.

lleS MONIES Leader
Yesterday the voters of Dc.s Mones by
the overwhelmingly decisive vote OF 9 SCI to
1877. or nearly three to one. declared, first,
in favor of a municipal electric light plant,
and second. authorized the city council to
eater into contract with the McCaSksy and
HClcomb company to provide such municipal
electric light plant The result OF the weeks
campaign is such as to show that the in
huences set at work by existing lighting
companies, which were not desirous OF re-
Iinquishing fat Contracts with the city, were
impotent Dcl Moines has again vlndcated

mauses Of her people and their capacity to
know in what direction lies their best

SHOT AT THE TRUST.

Kansas City Star: The Tobacco trust. hav-
ing been knocked out in Illinois, must now
run the gauntlet of New York officials seek
ing to enforce the antitrust laws of that
state. The Tobacco trust would better get
cut of the trust business as quickly as pos
sible.
Springfield Republican: An inferior judge
of the Illinois courts has decided that the
American Tobacco or Cigarette trust is an
unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade
and must stop doing business in Illinois.
But lie trust will appeal to the state su-
preme court, and then, if necessary, to the
United States courts and meantime will keep
right ON doing business in Illinois for the
indefinite period thus involved.
Buffalo Express: The Illinois decision
against the American Tobacco company,
which Is declared to be an illegal corporation,
must have a decided effect upon the fortunes
of the monopoly, for the business done in that
state Is large and the precedent of so great
a commonwealth will be influential There
are several indications that the company is
beginning to feel that its policy Of undue
compulslon upon dealers will have to be
abandoned.
Indianapolis Journal: The injunction
which Judge Gibbons of Illinois has put upon
the American Tobacco company is the first
attempt to enforce the antitrust laws OF
| states. The company has gradually alb
| sorbed most Of the companies making cigar
cites in the country, with view of regulat-
ing output and prices. This, Judge Gibbons
holds, is in violation Of the laws OF Illinois,
and consequently he has restrained the com
pany or it's agents or others in the trade from
selling the goods of the company. In New
York the attorney general has proceeded
against the coal-carrying railroads for com
bnation to prevent fair competition in the
sale of anthracite coal. This action on the
part of prosecuting officers and judges shows
that republican state governments are keep
ing their pledges to the people, and that it is
possible and even probable that such uniaw-
full combinations can be reached by law.

MIlLERS WANT RECIPROCITY
Winter Wheat Millers' League States Its
Demands.
NOT PLEASED WITH SENATE TARIFF Bill
Asserts that Export business Flour
ishcd Under the Former Act and
wishes to Have ~ Again Placed
in the Tariff Measure.

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Several hundred dele
gates were present this afternoon when the
annual convention OF the Winter Wheat
Millers' League OF the United States was
called to order at the Planters hotel. From
indications the present convention. which
will be in session two days. promises to be
a record breaker, both in point OF attend
ance and the Importance of matters discussed.
An important matter to be considered is the
trade with foreign countries and what can
be done to promote reciprocal relations. Ac-
cording to Secretary Perry OF indianapolis,
the winter wheat millers were the first to
bring to Secretary Of State Blaine's atten-
tion the desirability of forming reciprocal
relations with foreign countries. He said
their business abroad had suffered consd-
erably as a result of the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaties, and every effort haa
since been made to secure their re-enactment.
The millers are not pleased with the way
the subject is being treated in the tariff
bill now before congress, and Mr.. Perry
thinks that the present convention Will take
some decisive action in the matter.
The meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent NJ II. Davis of shelby, o., who de-
livered his annual address. Following this
the minutes of the previous annual meeting
were read and the reports of secretary and
| treasurer were presented. Secretary Perry
| reported that despite the financial depression
| and the consequent less Of membership, the
| league has about held its own during the
past year. He thinks there will be a large
| addition to the membership at this meeting.
| After the appointment of committees on
| resolutions and nominations a recess for
| lunch was taken.

4 CnMMLSSIoN ItNNEr ESSARf.


The proposal that congress shall ere
ate permanent tariff commission. for
the promotion Of which league has been
organized that is actively endeavoring
to educate public sentiment in favor of
the plan, does not appear to be meeting
with much encouragement Speaking of
the movement, to which we have hereto
fore referred, the Boston Advertiser
says that one of the strongest objections
to this proposition Is to be found in the
fact that no congress has the power to
govern the acts of its successors. 1t
might easily happen, remarks that pa
per, that If tariff commission were ap-
pointed under a law enacted by this
congress, the next congress would en-
tirely ignore the commission and would
invalidate all its acts in the direction of
tariff suggestion. "The moment IL dem
ocratic congress came into power, if the
tariff commission were strongly repub-
lican, the political complexion of that
commission might be entirely changed
Undoubtedly it would be. Suppose the
Fifty-third congress had created per-
1anpnC tutlll colllllllSStuu, Ill itcl i''N ms
enacted the present tariff law. OF
course majority of its members would
have been i-protectionists. Can it be
doubted that the recommendations Of
such n commission would have had no
weight with the present congress?
The fact is, as the Advertiser says.
there Is plenty of expert authority avail
able to the political leaders at Washing
ton in the preparation or 4 tariff bill and
it is always consulted by them. Conse-
quently for the purpose Of advising con-
gress tariff commission is altogether
unnecessary. AS to the point that 1t
would tend to take the tariff out of
politics. there is absolutely nothing to
it. That question has been recognized
and treated as political question since
the foundation of the government and
| it IS very certain to continue to occupy
| that position indefinitely. There is a
| bill in congress providing for perma-
| nent tariff commission. with power un-
der certain conditions to suspend parts
or the whole of any tariff schedule. 1t is
entirely safe to say it will never become

The alnpstpnlmited power Of state
legislature over municipalities in the
same state is confirmed by the decision
of the OhiU supreme court upholding the
law passed last year extending the Off
cial term Of the mayor of Cincinnati to
July, 1897 Ordinarily 1t Is possible for
legislative, bodies to abolish municipal
offices altogether or to curtail or extend
their terms at viii. Because the legisla-
ture does not exercise these arbitrary
powers regularly is no reason why 1t
can not do so il 1t so determines.

INTER ESTED IN HAWAII,

It appears that the administration Is
taking an interest in Hawaii and pro-
poses to get full information in regard
to political conditions there, especially
respecting the attitude of the Japanese
and the reported designs of Japan to-
ward Hawaii. 1t is stated that the min
lister to that country, Mr.. Sewall. has
had several conferences with the pres
ident and secretary of state on Ha-
waian affairs, While the minister to
Japan, Mr.. Buck, has been instructed to
stop at Honolulu, on his way to Japan,
in order to acquaint himself with the
situation.
1t thus seems that the administration
is not Indifferent to the reports of pur
pose on the part of the Japanese govern
mpnt to secure foothold in Hawaii
with the idea of ultimately dominating
the islands. and while not giving full
credence to the statements very prop
erly intends to know whether or not
they have any substantial foundation.
IF it shall be found that there are good
grounds for the reports there can be no
doubt that our government will indicate
to Japan in terms not to be misunder-
stood that neither she nor any other
foreign power will be permitted to as
sumo control of the Hawaiian islands.
1t is not to be inferred from this man
Hesitation of interest in Hawaii that the
administration is contemplating any ac-
tion looking toward annexation. There
is no reason to believe that President
McKinle is in favor of acquiring the
! islands, but he is undoubtedly opposed
to allowing any other nation to acquire
or dominate them.
