The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1899-07-13

1t is unpleasant news to hear that
I.och Leven, the most romantic among
the lave of Scotland, is in danger of
becoming covered with an obnoxious
weed, whici. is spreading in an alarm
ing manner, to the dismay of all con-
cerned in the fishing interests of the
| loch. For some two years past the
presence of this member of the ana
charts tribe of water plants has been
known, but no satisfactory explanation
| of the method by which it found it's
way into the waters has yet been ar
| rived at. One ingenious authority has
expressed the opinion that it was in
| troduced with some goldfish which
were purchased and turned out into
the lOch. The fish were bought from
hawkers, in globes, in which it was
supposed there were supplies of this
| foreign weed. Others assert that it
| was bought into the vicinity by an
| American timber ship. Be this as it
may, the inconvenience to which the
ever-increasing masses OF weed give
rise is very considerable. Anglers and
| others are viewing with keen interest
the steps that are being taken to de-
stroy the encroaching plant.

The Indiana Decision.

The supreme court of Indiana has de.
constitutional, but that where no statue
exists the state has a right on the
ground of public policy to annul char
tiers given to interpretations should they
prices charged consumers. The state
grants certain franchises and privileges
to corporations in the way of charters
This is primarily to assist in the con
duct of business or enterprises from
which the public receive benefits, but
as soon as such corporations combine tC
take advantage of the people then the
protection and advantages afforded by
franchises and charters should be with
drawn.
The language of the court is as fol
lows:
1T is an old and familiar maxim that
competition is the life of trade, and
whatever act destroys competition. OF
eve relaXes it, upon the part of those
who sustain relations to the public. is
regarded by the law as injurious tC
public interests, and is, therefore,
deemed to be unlawful on the grounds
of public policy"
The decision was rendered in a case
in which two natural gas companies
formed an agreement to charge uniform
prices, and each agreed to refuse Ia
serve any who quit patron
izing the other company.

Working for the Territory.

Governor Otsio, who has been il
Washington for several weeks past, was
energetic in good work for the terri,
tory. He was not idle a single moment
and much benefit will follow says the
Carlsbad Argus.
The Argus might have added that
the trip and stay in Washington were
made at the personal expense of the
governor, who deserves credit for Civ
ing extra time, labor and money to the
service of the territory.
AS a result of arrangements made in
the east While he was there, the terri
tory will save several thousand dollars
in freights on capitol building material
The public land business was also pur
into excellent shape to give the terri
tory more immediate and greater ben.
efits than could have been obtained ha(
not the visit to the department beer
made.

exists between the different factions, it
has been expected there would be trou-
Bile, and probably a shooting scrape.
Judge Parker adopted heroic measures.
He forebade any man except the sheriff
Of Sierra county and his deputies from
appearing in the court room armed.
The sheriff of nc other county could
carry a gun. He said that if a man
came into the court room with a gun
on he would get ninety days in Jail for
contempt of court, and after the ninety
days expired he would receive the limit
of the law for the crime of illegally car-
rying weapons. He said that if any
person had reason to suspect any per-
son was armed, that it was not neces-
sary for him to make a charge against
the man, but to inform the court, Sc
cretly if he desired, and the court would
order the doors locked and have every
man in the court room searched. Owing
to Judge Parker's vigorous action, there
has been no outbreak.

PRESS COMMENTS,
SIR wILFRID LAUR1ER's VERSION

SIR WILFRID LAURIER'S VERSION
(Boston Journal.)
The trouble with Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier's statement of the attitude of Cam
ada with reference to the negotiations
concerning the Alaskan boundary is
that it is not in accordance with the
facts emanating from British official
sources. 1t would be going too far to
accuse the Canadian premier of willful
~inaccuracy of statement. His version
of the matter has the appearance of
being carefully guarded, but it is al
ways possible for an adroit diplomatist,
by suppressing certain points and en-
phasizing certain others, to create an
impression which is essentially as mis-
leading as a direct untruth. 1t would
seem thai something of this kind is
what Sir Wilfrid Laurier has done.
Perhaps there is a bubble of some kind
in the phrase which relates to the Ven
ezuelan precedent. However that may
be, there is too much evidence going to
show that 1t is Canada who has pre-
vented an agreement to arbitrate the
boundary question to be overthrow by
so hating and partial an explanation as
that Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
