The Chicago Tribune keeps right on
killing the silver issue and prints an
editorial to the effect that it is dead
this time sure. "All the northwestern
states" it says are dropping out of the
Bryan and 16 to procession. IF the
Democrats stick to it, November 1900,
will see nothing of the party left,n
the editor says The Tribune is Re-
publican and is interested in the sue
cess of the republican party. Then
why does it not keep still and allow
the Democrats to go on their ways
The truth of the matter is that the
Tribune is not only republican pa
per, but it is one of the special in
struments of the money power as
we'll, If the democrats in national
convention assembled next year adopt
the Chicago platform (and that is a
foregone conclusion) the money power
will be forced to put up fifty millions
to fight the success of the democracy.
1t is therefore, incumbent upon the
Tribune and other journalistic lack
eys of Lombard street to warn the
democratic party against is to Let
the Tribune keep it up. The real
meaning of that Kind of advice is so
apparent that it aids in the solidifica-
ton OF the opposition to the gold
standard. -Ottumwa Democrat

CAN DO NOTHING.
Attorney General Remley Says That
Iowa Is Entirely at the Mercy
of Outside Trusts.

Relative to the opinion of Attorney
General Griggs that the Sherman fed
eral antitrust law is only operative
against trusts in their interstate rela-l
tons, Acknowledgement Remley said
that it could not affect this state except
in one way, for so far as Iowa is con-
cerned it has no state law under which
successful prosecutions against trusts
may be instituted.
There is statute against combina.
tons, pools and trusts, making those in
terested therein guilty of conspiracy,
but grand juries in Iowa cannot indict
for conspiracy persons out of the state
for acts done out of the state. If a
trust doing business in Iowa should
pool with another trust, then indict-
ments could be found. Attorney-Gen.
eral Remley said:
1.-THE situation in Iowa is appalling. The
antitrust law of this state is meaningless
in effect In operation 1t is absolutely with
out results. because my Office is compelled
to devote itself to other duties. / have
considered the subject of securing evil
dence against some local combinations
which believe come under the law. but
have had no time. i have information
which leads me to believe that 1t would
not be difficult to secure sufficient evidence
against at least two Iowa combinations
which would result in the indictment OF
the officers for conspiracy If submitted to
the county attorney, but cannot go into
the matter.
Iowa cannot do anything as against the
outside trusts. The state can prohibit such
corporations as insurance companies from
doing business in the state, but it cannot
prevent mercantile or other business con-

Future Promise Of the Cattle In
dustry.

The noted stock sale of Aberdeen
Angus cattle, held at South Omaha
last week, has more significance at
tached to it than the mere fact of big
prices received for the animals offer
ed. 1t demonstrates the spirit of cat
tie improvement that is now going on
over the entire cattle raising country.
1t adds evidence to the assertion that
there is pronounced sentiment pre-
vailing on the shortage of the cattle
supply of the United States, and that
cattle raisers see good prices for the
produce of their herds for many years
to come.
The investment of from $500 to 49,
600 for individual animals is not done
without study and full canvass of
the live stock situation. This sale of
cattle did not represent few fanati-
cal breed boomers. There were scores
of sober, thoughtful, conservative
stock raisers present from ten of the
leading cattle growing states of the
union. The buying represented the
laying of herd foundations for the flu
ture of the business. 1t clearly pre-
dicted that the one sentiment prevails
throughout the cattle growing COIN
try, Independent of breed, that there
is period of great prosperity now
before the cattle growers of the Unit
ed States.
To what extent concentration of
capital and effort in multiplying the
herds will affect prices, and when, are
matters of speculation for those who
are interested.
The great loss of cattle which has
already taken place over the western
range districts, owing to the unusual
severity of the present winter, and
the additional loss that must follow
before cattle are safely started on
grass means an additional factor in
creating more price and adding event
ually to the interests and investment
in cattle raising. These unfortunate
conditions, when followed by increas
ed demand and price, only stimulate
the western stockman to renewed eff
fort in regaining his lost possessions.
More and better winter provisions
will be prepared and better breeding
cattle will be demanded to fill up the
depleted herds of the range. We pre-
dict a safe business in cattle raising
industry for many years where prop
J or conditions are observed. --Omahs

IOWA STATE NEWS
RECEIVERS HER CHILD.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings In Cline
ton Give Mrs. May Hadley Pos
session of Her Daughter.

The habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Mrs. May Hadley against
Mrs. George Forrest were concluded be-
fore Judge Wolfe in Clinton and a YER
dict was rendered restoring to Mrs.
Hadley her six-year-old daughter. The
FORESTS are prominent people in Clin-
ton. Mrs. Hadley is an actress, whose
home is in New York.
In the summer of 1897 Mrs. Forrest
met Mrs. Hadley at an eastern watering
place and became attached to Mrs. Had
ley's daughter. She persuaded the
mother to let the child accompany her
to her home for visit. Since then the
child has been with the FORESTS, going
east occasionally to visit her mother,
who showed keen interest in her
daughter, sending her clothes and pres
ents.
The FORESTS in August, 1893, went to
New York and secured contract from
the child's father giving them custody
of the child. Recently Mrs. Hadley
heard of the transaction and came to
Clinton for her daughter. The For
rests would not give up the child, and
the mother commenced habeas corpus
suit.
The evidence showed that Mr.. and
Mrs. Hadley had not lived together TO,
four years. The mother always had
possession of the child, and took good
care of it. On the other hand, it was
proved that the father refused to as
sist the mother or to have anything te
do with the child. He got divorce
from Mrs. Hadley, but no mention wal
made of the child. In his verdict thu
Judge held that the father was not en-
titled to claim the girl, and therefor
had no right to give the child away.

LOSES A REQUEST.
The New York Supreme Court DecideI
a Trust Fund Suit Against
a Davenport College.

Justice Kellogg in the supreme court
in New York city handed down a de-
cision in an action brought by the
American Church Missionary society
against Griswold college at Davenport,
requesting the supreme court to direct
the disposition of trust fund which
was given to the society by LouisaDean
for the establishment of a theological
professorship in Griswold collegs.
The justice holds that for msre than
ten years the college has refused to
provide the theological school or to
maintain any seminary in which there
was theological department. He says
that this neglect and abandonment on
the part of the college mus, be inter.
preted as a refusal to longer comply
with the conditions of the trust, and
that this must operate as voluntary
surrender of all benefits Under it.

In the Trap of lingo MONOPOLY.

Springfield Apublicau:-The trusts
are disturbing the Republican organs
of the West. They are referred to by
the st. Paul Pioneer Press as ',devour-
ing monsters" which must be taken
in hand by the Republican party if
that party is to escape the ccndemna-
ton of the people. 1t is the duty of
the party, says the Pioneer Press, to
repeal every protective duty which
shelters any part of this ''monstrous
oligarchy of monopoly"
1t is a somewhat significant fact
that the leading administration organ
of the West. the Chicago Times
Herald, indorses this policy of strik-
ing at the trusts through the tariff:
Most certainly it should be the du-
ty of congress, in both branches OF
which the Republicans have ma
jority to abolish or suspend the pro.
tective duty on the products of any in
dustry which has been organized into
trust and which has arbitrarily rails
ed the price of such products. No
mercy or consideration should be
shown to any combination of capital
that takes advantage of a protective
tariff to Inulct American consumers.
1t should be the first Office of the Re
publican majority in congress to free
its skirts from all responsibility for
trusts, which, under the shelter of the
tariff, exact high prices from the peo-

More Trouble for Croker.

Now that Colonel Bryan's tart let
ter mas elevated Mr.. Croker's twenty
dollar banquet to the dignity of a ma
tional issue and may furnish an ante
convention slogan for the followers
of the Nebraska statesman, it is we'll
to keep an eye on the progress of Mr..
Crooker's Lucullian enterprise.
We left Colonel Bryan spurning an
invitation held forth an golden sal
yer, as is were, by Perry Belmont.
We left Mr.. Belmont openly scorning
Col. Bryan as millionaires are won't,
in their hearts, to scorn the plain
people. And thereby Colonel Bryan
accumulated great store of political
capital. But even more is being done
for the advancement of the Nebraska
coloners fortunes, and in New York,
too. Quickly tumbling to the incon-
gruity OF a twenty-dollar banquet
with the democratic simplicity sup
posed to halo the revered name of
Jefferson, the common democrats OF
New York are going to celebrate the
day with one-dollar banquet, 80.
cent opportunity as the department
stores would call it. At that board
Colonel Bryan will feel perfectly at
at home and politically safe. He is
to be the honored guest, but others
will be there. Ex-Governor Altgeld
and George Fred Williams will be
near the toastmaster. Jones and
Stewart of Nevada, Bailey of Texas
and Towne of Minnesota will repre-
sent the silver sentiment and pure
Jeffersonianism of the west and south
just by way OF embarrassing Billy
Suizer and Ex-senator Murphy, the
committee will invite them, for theil
affiliations are known to be with the
twenty dollar democrats.
Mr.. Croker pretends to be highly
pleased with the idea of one plank
banquet in competition with his most
royal feast. He wishes the lonesome
bone fellows all kinds of good times
but with it all he cannot conceal GER
tain uneasiness. The one-dollar boy
mean mischief and he knows it. They
are bent on making hard Shedding fol
the Croker dynasty from this time on
not only in New York, but through
out the country.
Before Mr.. Croker is done with it
he will wish lie had planned a fifty
cent beer and sandwich affair with
cob pipes for the smoke number.

LincoIn's Prediction.

To Abraham Lincoln seems to have

coin peered into the future and raised
voice of warning.
In one of his prophetic moods, the
great liberator said: II see in the near
future crisis approaching that I'M
nerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country. AS re-
suit of the war, corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corrup-
ton in high places will follow, and
the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolopg its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the
people, unit all wealth is aggregated
in few hands and the republic is de-
stroyed. feel at this moment more
anxiety for the safety of the country
than ever before, even in the midst of
the war;"
No one could express more clearly
tne present condition of affairs. The
great corporations are doing exactly
what Lincoln feared they would do.
They are working upon the preiu
dices of the people. They are aggre
eating the wealth of the country int,
few hands. They are endeavoripe
to establish an aristocracy of wealth
They are striving to crush the work
