The Antitrust Con-
VentiOn at Chicago

Nebraska will be represented at the anti
trust conference in Chicago by a delegation
of men who have distinguished themselves
in state and national politics; men who have
had considerable to do with the shaping Of
the policy of political parties within the
state and whose influence has been felt in
the making of national platform declara-
lions.
Governor Poynter has named the following
delegation: Colonel William j. Bryan, Hon.
William V. Allen, Hon. Edwar Rosewater.
Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, Hon. R. d. Suther-
land, Hon Frank T. Ransom and Hon. A.
Hugh Nipple.
The attitude of Colonel Bryan toward the
trust is well known, as is that of ex-senator
Allen. Hon. Edward Rosewater first be-
came prominent for his advocacy of anti
monopoly measures twenty-five years ago,
and has ever been a foe of trusts organized
for stock jobbing and eXtortion. Ex-Gov-
ernor Crcunse has been prominently identi-
fled with the anti-monopoly wing of the re-
publican party and was called to the gov
ernor's chair because of his known senti-
ments along these lines.
1t goes without saying that Nebraska will
be heard from at the antitrust conference
in Chicago in September. Expressions of
opinion have been secured from all the dele
gates and are here given:
Colonel w. j. Bryan says: 81 have not
time to write an extended sentiment in re-
gard to the trusts, but you can quote me
as saying: An industrial aristocracy is as
dangerous to free institutions as a landed
aristocracy would be. Monopoly means the
bondage of the many to the few"
In his book "The Last Battle" Mr.. Bryan
has this to say concerning trusts:
IF trusts exist in violation of law they
can be exterminated only by the enforce
ment of the law. If present laws are in
sufficient, new and sufficient laws can be
devised. If the constitution, which has been
so construed as to prevent the taxation Of
the incomes of corporations, can be so con-
strued as TO protect trusts it Is high time
for a constitutional amendment which will
enable the American people to protect them
se.ves from trusts. . believe that the
continued existence of the trust Is largely
due to the fact that many public officials,
without openly defending it, are at heart
friendly to it,"
Concerning the forthcoming antitrust con-
yention Hon. Edward Rosewater said:
THE first national Antitrust convention
convened at the instance of the legislature
of Minnesota in the city OF Chicago, in June,
1895, and was presided over by then gov
ernor, now Senator Knute Nelson. The con-
vention formulated a set of resolutions en-
bodying the consensus of conclusions reached
and recommendations made for national
legislation, AS chairman OF the committee
of resolutions, / was in position TO compare
and digest the various views entertained by
the leading members of the convention, and
when the resolutions were presented, 1t was
incumbent upon me to champion and defend
and secure its adoption. While the radical
anti-monopoly and anti-corporation element

thought that everything was centered there;
but the general managers and the superin-
tendents were busy with other duties. Doz-
ems OF kilograms were taken up-some for
the train force, some for the secretaries,
and some for the president himself.
Municipal authorities were asking for an
extension of time from ten to twenty min
utes, from one hour to two. Other tele-
grams were put off, some asking for in
formation as to details of arrangements,
some as answers to previously received ques-
tons, some positive instructions as to a
cleared track, others messages Of caution
to officials 100 miles farther on.
Men who have in hand the management
of a presidential train find the crowds hard
to manage. Thousands Of eager citizens
swarm across the tracks and interfere with
schedule time. So, keeping in mind the
rights of all, the railroad managers some
times find it necessary to resort to innocent
trickery. For instance, at Burlington, no
one save a wise telegraph operator knew
lust what one of scores of tracks the presi-
Dental train would take. OF course it was
not the track in the peoples mind. So it
was possible for the cars to slip into their
berthS without the slightest delay. The
president and his companions were in car
rlages on the way to the public speaking
stand before the crowds at the station were
sure of his arrival. They were fooled, of
course. but the little trick was necessary,
or the program would have been seriously
delayed, not for Burlington alone, but for
other towns far ahead.
This particular day had been a hard one.
Dozens of speeches had been made in q
strong wind. Still others were to be made
in the evening-as late as II o'clock. The
next day the president was to speak in a
large city.
One Of his secretaries was manifestly wor-
ried lest the executive would not have sui.
ficient rest. rhe general managers talked
it over. 1t was decided to speed the train
early in the evening, in order that it might
be run more slowly after the president had
retired. Then there was yet another thing
to do-completely change the route. some
enc suggested that certain towns would be
keenly disappointed.
mot after midnight" said one of the
general managers. "On the other hand,
there may be small crowds at some of the
towns on the advertised route, and these
will be sure, with bands and shouting, to
keep the presidential party awake,
The wisdom of the course was pain to be
seen. So there was more telegraphing, to
the end that through the late hours of the
night the presidential train ran over an un-
advertised route, only to get back to the
scheduled tracks by the time the party had
breakfasted. All night long one of the
general managers sat at his desk reading
and writing tefegrams, receiving officials of
the train and watching The speed Indicator.
When, at noon the next day, the train
passed to the hands of another railroad com
pany, the general manager OF the night be-
fore was sleepless, but he had a rested feel
ing as he saw the great train safe and sound
under the sheds, and the president, bright
eyed and refreshed, bowling from a carriage
that worked its tedious way through a
street.

CHAPTER IN,

When Captain Sutherland drove up the
avenue leading to his paternal door, his
horses were covered with foam, and his
person and vehicle despatched with mire.
Leaping out. he inquired of his fathers
state, and was told that he had partially
recovered and was then In deep slum-
Der. Instantly he repaired to the sick
chamber, and there. seating himself be-
side the bed, he settled himself to await
the moment when his father should
awake. At length the sleep Of the IN
valid was broken. He opened his eyes
and discovered his son leaning anxiously
over him.
"Are you better. father?"
"Much better. Harry, much better. But
sit you down. my son; ! have many
things to say to you; many, many things;
and I fear there Is but little time left
me-"
"Fathcr, do not speak thus--do not,
cOnjure you!"
"Nay. Harry, why should I shut my
eyes to the truth! But this Is idle; lock
the door; 1 have something to relate, and
would not be. interrupted" The son
obcyed In silence. and after a pause the
invalid resumed:
"Thcy tell me you have engaged your
self In marriage with the daughter Of
Hamilton; does report speak true, or Is
It but the unfounded rumor Of idle So
ciety3"
The son blushcd deeply. Nor was all
the abashment he felt caused BY the re-
proof Of his father; he was, ut that mo-
ment, shamed from other recollections.
"Father, you have been correctly in
formed. We are bctrothed, and only
await your sanction to consummate the
ceremony"
Harry" said the old man; and he
raised himself In the bed, and his lips
grew yet paler, and his eyes glowed
with fierce excitement. "Harry-my son
my only son; much as love you, much
as l honor you, anxious as am for your
happiness, yet would rather see You
struck down livid corpse where you
stand than behold you connected In mar
rage with that woman"
There was silence--an awful silence;
deep as the unbroken stiffness upon the
solitude Of waters; horrible as the dread
full peace that pervadcs the Egyptian cat
acombs. So unexpectedly came chat wild
declarations; SO unprepared was the son
for its reception that the cold sweat
started from his brow, and his strength
gave way.
"In heavens name. my father. tell me
your reason! How could such an angel

when we should part; death perhaps
would have torn me from you. but would

experience. Here must leave you. and

The speaker turned away: his emotion
was almost mastcrcss; and he abruptly
finished a discourse he fain would have
prolonged. as he had left many thoughts
he wished to communicate uncxprcsscd.
Then. for full half hour he paced the
deck. in earnest conversation with the
officer of the watch: to him he delegated
his authority. instruciing him to return to

market
Assemblyman Thompson claimed to
be surprised at the talk Of private en-.
terprise plan which all the speakers
favored to conduct the market. The
market, In his opinion, should belong to
the city. Nothing had been said about
the private enterprise taking hold of
the market until recent resolution
was passed through the council asking
for the appointment OF a committee to
endeavor to secure legislation which
would allow $150y000 in bonds to be is
sued for market site and sheds He
had been informed by the comptroller
thatethere was no need Of bonds, as
there was money in the treasury to
puild a site. 1t appeared to him as
though one day the city had money for
this purpose andathe next day, accord
Ing to the remarks he had listened to,
there was no money. The city should
buy and controlthe market and allow
only producers to sell there. If it was
given to privates enterprise 1t would be
only money making scheme and as
soon as 1T ceased to pay the enterprise
would fall to the ground.
Mr.. Shepard saidsthe comptroller had
informed him there was no money in
the treasury that could be used for a
market site and Sheds
Mr.. WheelOck was of the opinion that
no attention should be paid to the Del
ph1c utterances of the comptroller
What that official probably intended to
convey was that provision would have
to be made by the legislature first and
that there would be. money In the
treasury. The city council could i'm
| pose on person or corporation all that
1t would do if the market was operated
by the city.
MI. Reynolds was of the opinion that
private ENTERPRISE, restricted by the
council, would give the city a good
market The CITY could not make a
success of it and private corporation
could. The city had no more right to
