A conference of democrats who
favor a change i'm the method OF
nominating candidates for United
States Senator is called to meet in
Richmond on the llth of next Nav.
The people have not taken kindly to
the action of the last democratic
State convention for not giving them
an opportunity to say who ought to
be chosen L. :. Senator. Ii was the
great love of the representatives of
democracy IN that convention for
Senator Daniel that led them to vote
down Congressman Jones's PROPOSE
ton for primary to choose the can
didate for L. 5. Senator. Senator
Daniel, at the time, seemed to have
forgotten that the people, through
the vote, on two occasions, of the
House o. Representative in favor of
amending the constitution for the
selection of senators, had given more
thought than he had to this question.
SO impressed were the delegates from
Clarke in that convention with the
justice of the proposition of Con-
gresham Jones that all of them
with on exception, and be declined
to vote at all-voted in favor of it.

Attorney General Griggs, of the
Presidents cabinet, in answer to 3
letter from a Philadelphia, declares
that under the Sherman trust act nc
Jurisdiction is given to Federal courts
over any combination constituting
a restraint and monopoly of trade,
unless such trade is what is known
as interstate or International trade
and commerce. He says the Federal
courts, In 1894, rendered a decision
as to the Sherman trust act. since
which time there has been no addi-
tional legislation on the subject by
Congress. The Attorney General
pertinently observes:
GAS a matter of fact, all of the
companies which you refer to AS now
organizing for the purpose of secur-
ing complete or partial monopoly of
different branches of manufacture are
similar to the sugar com bination, and
are not within the jurisdiction of the
Federal courts. If amenable to anv
law, they are amenable to the law of
the respective States"
1t was pointed out, shortly after
the decision of the Federal courts
was issued, that the proper way to
strike at trusts was through the Leg
islatures of the several States. All
OF these combinations get their char
tered powers from State Legislatures.
and if there is any sincerity in the
hue and cry against trusts, the vari-
GUS Legislatures ought to adopt mea
sures to suppress them. Where trusts
operate to interfere with interstate
or international trade, Congress
doubtless can interfere, but where
no restraint of th4s character is exer
cised it would seem the power TO
grant this charter was one of those
rights reserved to the States, as the
practice has been to apply to, and the
concessions granted have come from,
them.
Where combinations have been
made to put up prices of any article,
and our tariff laws are framed to
prop them up, Congress should re-
move the tarif without any hesita
ton. In this way it could defeat the
purposes of monopoly organized for
wholly selfish ends.

The effort to make the repeal of
what is popularity called the land
grabbers act" political battle CT,
seems to be cooling down considera
bly,, us the subject is now rarely men
toned. As the Page Courier says
''it is surprising that men who
wouldn't think of finding fault with
the law that binds land for other
liens should cry out against the law
that binds the same land for taxes. -
All, but the great objection les in
the fact that some fellow collects
$500 of the delinquent for allowing
himself to be pushed up to squaring
his accounts with the State. We
know of "Other liens" that have cost
negligent purchasers over $1,000 and
court and other fees by the side of
which $500 bill would look small.
and yet no one has said the law rela
tive thereto should be changed. The
land grabbers act is given in a nut
shell by the Richmond Times, as fol-
lows:
mo creditor is so lenient as the
State. 1t gives the tax payer seven
teen months after assessment within
which TO pay his taxes, then buys the
land if be refuses to pay, but gives
him two more years in which to re
deem his land by paying up his dues,
aud If at the expiration of nearly /
years from the date of assessment he
is still delinquent, the State permits
outsiders to come in and file applica
ton to purchase the land for taxes
due, and allows such applicant for
his trouble fee of five dollars. That
is the whole law in nut she'll"
