UNITED AGAINST TRUSTS

A remarkable scene was wit messed in the Missouri legislature last Friday when the WhaIey anti trust bill was adopted by both branches of that body by an unan- imous vote, Republicans and Dem ocrats wing with each other in their eagerness to support the measure and in their denunciatione of trusts and combinations formed to control prices and the output of commidoties. The Kansas City Star referring to the political aspect of the trust question says:
 Republicans and Democrats join cd together in the Missouri legisla- ture yesterday in unanimous vote in favor of tho latest antitrust law, which seems to put all need ed power m the hands of state of ticials to prevent combinations of trade and industry and to suppress those which are already in exis- tcnce. 1t remains to be seen now whether any greater success will attend these latest efforts against trusts than has characterized pre- vious attempts, in this state and elsewhere, to prevent comblna- tions. The action of the Repub- licans in voting for this most sweeping of all anti trust laws shows that it will be difficult matter for the Democrats to make any capital out of Republican opposition to trusts. Both parties are practically certain to declare, in 1900, against trusts, and the campagn orators on both sides probably will denounce them in the most vigorous language at their command, so it can hardly be much of political issue. It will be to the advantage of the Repub- licans that the first franchise tax law was passed by the Republican legislature of New York, upon the recommendation of Governor Roosevelt, and if the Republican leaders are wise they will make a move, in the next Congress, to abolish tariffs on all goods made by trusts. That would still far ther rob the Democracy of any ad- vantage it may claim as an anti trust party.

THE VALUE OF FRANCHISES.

The Kansas City Star says: "The fortune of Mir. Charles T.. Yerles, who cleans up about 20 million dollars from the sale of his street car interests in Chicago, willenable that cntcrprising Amer ican to keep the wolf from the door and to live in such a manner as to constantly remind the pub lie of the value of franchises which it has been the habit of municipal government in this country to fool away to persuasive corporations" Chicago is big city and franchises secured there are more valuable than those secured in smaller places but the people have learned by observation as we'll as by experience that it is poor policy to grant franchises for any pur- pose and hence forth there will be very few granted.

DOWN GRADE TO THE SOUTH.

From q descriptive pamphlet issued by the land department of the Pittsburg & Gulf railway, we learn the following interesting points, Mena is 1900 feet above sea level, and from this place south the road deccnds rapidly, as shown by the following: Janssen, 22 miles south is 1076 feet above sea level; Gillham, 42 miles south is 748 feet; De Queen, 52 miles 397 feet; Texarkana, 107 miles, 37S feet; Shreveport, 179 miles south is 330 feet and Zwolle 243 miles is only 2S7 feet above sea level.
 These figures not only show that tho altitude decends very rapidly as the road approaches the gulf but also points to the fact that Mena is the highest point and the first place where d high alti- tudc, swept by mountain breezes and drained by rapid running mountain streams Is reached.
 These arc facts that should be kept before the people residing in those southern cities to let them know that here in Mena they can get above the malaria and out from the heat of those regions. They should not be permitted to forget that here they can find health and vigor, and the women and children secure rosy checks and full, round forms. Many have learned these facts and are coming to make Mena their sum- mcr homo, and others who can should do so.

PLENTY OF GOOD LAND.

There is arabic land enough in the United States to supply the demand for another 100 years. Texas alone has enough farming land for five or six times her pres ent population. There are milli- ons of acres in the South and west that only need the man with the blow to make them fruitful. We also here a great deal about over production Agricultural products from the present cultivated areas. Then why should the people of this country be taxed to bring into requisition the vast stretches of arid lands in the far West, to add enormous amounts to our present proftless surpluss Texas, Ar kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and the Big Indian Territory can furnish all the farming land re- quired for our sustenance for many years to come. Are we so anxious for agricultural compe- tition that we will consent to pay large sums to secure it.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

Supreme Court of Georgia.
July %, 1899.
WHERE THE GRANTOR RESERVES
TO HIMSELF IN a DEED THE
MINERAL INTERESTS IN THE
/. LAND CONVEYED AND THE
GRANTEE TAKES POSSESSION
OF THE LAND UNDER SUCH
CONVEYANCE THE LATTER
CANNOT AFTERWARDS CLAIM
TO BE THE OWNER OF SUCH
MINERAL INTERESTS.
This was n suit for the recovery of
tina mineral interests in certain land.
The defendants set up a prescrivtive
title. The evidence showed that the de-
PENDANTS went into possession of the
land under conveyance from one of
the plaintiffs and those under whom
the other plaintiffs claim the mineral
interests in the land. This conveyance
OF the land to the defendants expressly
reserved the mineral interests therein.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiffs. The court granted n new
trial and the plaintiffs excepted.
The Court says:
We think that the grantees in a deed
which reserved the mineral interests in
the land conveyed to them cannot, as
against the grantors or their privies,
set up title by prescription to such min
eral interests, unless they have in some
manner given notice to the grantors or
their privies that they intended to
hold. or were holding. adversely to
them. There was no such notice shown
in this case, actual or otherwise There
was no evidence that any mine had
evsr been worked on the lana. Prcscrip-
