Biuefields in giving asylum to General
Reyes, the leader of the defunct re-

TO BEAT THE TRUSTS.
senator w. A. Harris Suggests
Plan for Controlling
the Combines.

United States Senator w. A. Harris
of Kansas, writes this week as follows
to the Lawrence World:
II sympathize very greatly with
the reople of Lawrence and the labor
ing men, in the closing of the barbed
wire mill by the trust, but it is no
new thing, nor will it stop with the
closing down of the wire mill. You
will remember that years ago one of
the most promising agricultural in
terests in Kansas was the raising of
flaxseed, and in Franklin county par
ticularly, the raising of castor beans.
A very complete mill was constructed
in Ottawa, but it had hardly begun
to operate before the trust (the Stand
ard Oil trust) took possession Of it
and closed it up. Leavenworth also
built first class linseed oil mill. 1t
had operated only year or two be-
fore the interests of the trust required
that it should be closed, and neither
one of the establishments have ever
purchased bushel of f1axseed or cas-
tor beans since, and the result was
that production in that direction at
once came to an end. The White
Lead and Linseed Oil trust has for
years dictated the price of every BUSH
ell CT these seeds, and also dictated
the price of every pound Of oil and
white lead sold to consumers. In a
thousand other directions we have
felt the blighting effects Of this mo-
nopolization. It seems to me that
in order to obtain any relief, we have
got TO restrict and restrain the con-
| ferring of corporate powers upon any
body who chooses to apply. No char
ter should be issue unless at least
| 80 per cent of the stock has already
| been paid up in cash, and the oper
alton of the corporation should be alb
solutely limited and restricted to the
specific prop tIty ard lurpose men
toned in the charter. No bonds
should be issued except after proper
appraisal, say by authority of the
district court, and not to exceed two
| thirds of the value of the properly
Also corporations coming from Other
states should be brought to rigid
accountability aid subject to every
1 restraint imposed by our home legis'
lation.

State Journals Testimony.

The following from the State Jour.
nal explains a republican method OF
serving the people--it shows that
they pass laws, not to benefit the
state or it's people, but create offices
for party workers:
Mr.. Riddle, by virtue of his position p.
chairman of the pOpulist state central COM
mite, is sort of an eye-sore to the repub
licans who want jobs for their friends, and
unless he gets off the live stock commission
he is TO be investigated.
The republicans attempted to pass new
law at the last session of the legislature
which would leave Riddle out of Office, but
the pOpulist senate discovered the scheme
and killed it. Riddle holds over because
he was confirmed by the senate for full
term. He has still year to serve.
How can an honest man vote fol
such party and such politicians

Small Poxin Oklaho,n..

Guthrie, o. T., April 15.-The open.
ing of the Creek land office and the
rapid selection of the public domain
by the citizens of the Creek nation
seem to indicate that the Indian ques-
ton is rapidly settling itself. The
fact that nearly one-half the Creek
population has already applied for al
lotments makes it appear that the re-
mainder will be forced to do so as
a matter of self-defense if for no
other season. Over in the Cherokee
nation the matter has reached such a
stage that lot jumping is attempted
and it appears certain that wherever
the land office is opened in that ma
ton there will be rush to file.
