I'm reply beg to say have never
rendered either officially or unofficially,
any opinion Of this kind. On the con-
trIry, this department has been engag-
ed in bringing numerous suits in the
United States courts under the sher-
man act of July~2, 1890. entitled An
act to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monop-
olIes," in several Of which cases. motor
iously that against the trans missouri
freight association. 1876 United States,
$50, and that against the Joint tratiic as
ISOLATION Ill United States, sos. the re-
suit has been the suppression by decree
Of the court Of the offending agreement
or association.
You may possibly have reference TO
letter Of mine TO private citizen
published several months ago In the
newspapers, wherein called attention
to the fact that the only jurisdiction
that Congress has over combinations or
contracts in restraint of trade, was In
relation to those which directly affected
Interstate commerce. That this IS
true and that this is the full extent OF
the Sherman trust act you will aScer-
tain by reading the decision Of the
United States supreme court In the case
OF Hopkins vs.. The United States. Ia

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright S
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

NEW JERSEY OYSTER INTERESTS.
Gives Employment TO 900 Vessels and to
6,000 Men.

1t will surprise the average person
to learn that the annual oyster crop
from the waters of New Jersey is equal
in value to the States annual wheat
crop. This being true, says the New
ark AdUertiser, the State ought to pro-
vide every means for developing and
conserving the oyster industry, which
by its nature is more in need of State
care than any other source of produc-
tive wealth. The first requisite would
seem to be accurate official knowledge
of the oyster lands. In Delaware Bay
alone the natural beds cover an area of
two hundred square miles. The in
dustry gives employment to nearly 600
vessels and at least six thousand men.
The State Oyster Commission says
there are thousands of acres that could
eBsily be made productive The Com
missions recommendation that a care.
full survey be made of the oyster beds,
should receive the attention of the
Legislature.

DELAWARE STATE CHANGERS.
OUR DELAWARE STATE FARMERS GATHER
AT THE CAPITOL.
Crops and Other Agricultural Pursuits are
Discussed in an Interesting and Prof
liable Manner.

The Delaware State Grange met in
the court room in Dover on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
Arnold Naudain, the worthy master,
is of Huguenot descent. The family
was known favorably in southern New
Castle for longer than 200 years. Arnold
Naudain, Jr., is second and his son is
third of that name. He now occupies a
good farm near Stanton and owns and
operates another, his old homestead, in
Mill Greek Hundred. His line of farm
ing is dairying. His herd of registered
Jersey is one of the most profitable
and nationally bred in the State. All of
his interests are agricultural. He has
occupied every office in his subordi-
nate grange, as we'll as the leading po-
sitions in both the county and State
organizations of this order.
In his address he said that the past
year has been fair one for the pro-
duction of most crops produced in our
State with a slight advance in price,
and a large advance in price of all
supplies. This advance in general
supplies is accredited to trusts and
combinations. He reported that the
National Grange recently held in
Springfield, Ohio, was very pleasant
and profitable one. In Delaware the
order is going forward on even lines.
He suggested that the grange should
keep up its efforts in favor of improved
schools, past efforts having resulted in
good. Delaware College was COM
mended and the suggestion made that
a diary school be established at the
college. The free delivery of mails in
the rural districts was regarded as a
feasible and important matter and the
farmers were asked to assist in making
the census as accurate as possible.
Legislation recommended by the Ma
tional Grange was indorsed by the
worthy master, is in favor of anti trust
law, eqalizing taxation, pure food
law, a revision of public officers, a State
commission to look after freight rates
in every State.
DIR. A. L. Neal, director of the Della
ware Experiment Station, made the re-
port of lecturer, explained the pure
food bill before the last Congress and
told of the meeting in Washington last
winter to promote legislation along
this line. The free rural delivery of
mails was taken up in every detail and
the prospect of its extension was con-
sidered as not only very desirable, but
entirely probable if suitable steps are
taken to forward the matter.
A number of committees were ap.
pointed.
