STREET SpRlNKLIN6.

The city council held a special
meeting Monday evening and listen
ed to an Interpretation of the street
sprinkling assessment law, given
by City Attorney Harriott, in which
he held that the council could order
the sprinkling Of the streets, to be
paid for by assessments of the
abutting property, and to be done
under the direction of the proper
officials. The council must also
designate sprinkling districts and
invite proposals.
As result of the opinion the city
attorney was directed to prepare an
ordinance providing for the sprink-
ling by assessment, and submit itat
the regular meeting of the council
to be held next Tuesday evening,
at which time the ordinance will be
adopted and ordered published.
The assessments will be due and
payable to the city treasurer in

been cOmmpleted under contract
with the Clinton Bridge & Iron
Works.
A big crowd was present during
the sale of the lumber, and the crowd
took occasion to inspect the new
bridge, which marks a new era in
this county. The work is consider
ed of the very best, while the steel
material in the structure will last
for ages. -
Commissioner Schroeder of the
Renville county board of county
commissioners was present at the
sale and during the official inspection
of the bridge. Mr.. Schroeder is
highly pleased over this piece of
work done by the Redwood county
commissioners alone, and regards
the bridge as one of the finest now
spanning the Minnesota river. Mr..
Schroeder stated that the Renville
county board had such a bridge in
view for across the Minnesotr river
north of Belview, ana with this
statement offered exlanations to the
Redwood county board.
Mr.. Schroeder stated that the
Renville commissioners wanted to
put the Belview bridge in at once.
but the people residing around the
old site, mostly from Renville county,
and the people residing around
proposed new site mile and a half
futher east, partly Redwood county
people, had got into jealous rivalry
over the bridge site. One crowed
raised 5000 and the other $500, as a
donation to the commissioners for
locating the bridge at their desired
points. Mr.. Schroeder was as anx-
ious to please Redwood county
people, as we'll as he was Renville,
contending that the North Redwood
bridge was used by four Renvilleites
where used by only one Redwoodite,
and hence deemed it fair to consider
the Redwood people, and pronounc-
ed himself as being in favor of locat-
ing the bridge at the new site.
His two colleagues on the committee
were in favor of the old site, on
account Of the wish of Renvilles
county people only. When the
matter came up in the board a fourth
commissioner voted with Mr..
Schroeder. making the vote stand
two and two, and fifth commission
err refused to vote.
About this time it became known
that the Renville county board could
be enjoined from excluively con-
structing bridge across the Mime
sofa river into Redwood county,
the present law providing that
where bridge connects two count
les both counties must stand a share
of the expense. The people inter-
ested pro and con the two sites
announced that if the commissioners
decided to locate the bridge at either
the old or proposed site, the oppo-
site faction would applay for an in
junction restraining the commission
ers from going ahead with the
construction of the bridge. When
this matter became known the Rem
vile commissioners decided to
drop the matter of constructing
the upper bridge until after the
legislature would pass a general
enabling law to cover the predica-
ment.

New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
Hon. r. H. Snyder, Lieutenant
Governor Of Louisiana, made an
able speech in behalf of the Demo-
cratic State campaign, at Wins
boro, in Franklin parish, yesterday.
Taking up the howl of the Caffery
combine against the registration
and election laws now in force in
Louisiana, Governor Snyder said:
assert unhesitatingly that every citizen
of the State entitled to a vote has been re-
gistered, unless he has failed to exercise his
right. Under the present election laws,
three elections have been held-one to
choose delegates to the Congressional con-
vention; another to select Congressman, and
the third, perhaps one of the bitterest ever
held in the State, in New Orleans, between
the regular and Jacksonian Democrats.
Has there been any cry of fraud about any
of these elections? Don't everybody con-
cede that they were honestly held. and that
the votes cast in them were counted? Still
the Caffery ticket wills out the cry of fraud.
1t is easy enough to make charge, but the
charge should be founded upon fact, il
should receive no credence.
The@other day Mr.. Cafery made the
charge that there had been fraud in the re-
gistration of Jefferson Parish. He said that
the names shown in the registration rolls
equaled one-third of the entire population Of

A Streak of Dawn.

Daily States.
The decision of the United States SUI
preme Court in the case of the Waters
Pierce Company against the State of Texas
holds out the hope that trusts can be
scotched if not actually killed by State laws.
This company was alleged to be the agent
of the Standard Oil Company, which latter
was charged with attempting to control and
monopolize the petroleum industry of the
United States in restriction of trade. The
suit involved the right Of the WatersP Pierce
Company TO do business in Texas contrary
to the provisions of the State antitrust laws
of 1880 and 1895 against combinations of
the kind under pain of forfeiture of charter.
The Supreme Court held that the company
had accepted the conditions which the State
laws imposed and was without ground of
complaint for the forfeiture of its charter.
The Texas Legislature last year enacted a
still more sweeping law in restraint of trusts,
but it does not appear that the validity of
this new act was specifically an issue in the
case above referred to. The statute of 1899
provides, in substance, that every combna-
ton of capital or its equivalent for the re-
straint of trade, whether organized under
the laws of Texas or of any other State,
dong business wlthl n the state, Snau De
deemed trust or monopoly The act pro-
hibits the giving away of any article or
selling it for less than cost for the purpose
of preventing free competition in manufac-
ture or distribution. Refusal to sell to any
person because he is not a member of the
combination is prohibited. Purchasers OF
articles manufactured by violators of the law
cannot be required to pay for them. Each
corporation is required yearly to state under
oath whether it is in any SPOOL Failure
to answer within thirty days is considered
evidence of guilt. Corporations violating
the act are subject to a loss of their charters
or prohibited from doing business within
the State, and are subject to fine of from
$500 to $1,000 for each offense. Every days
business is a separate ofense. All cour
business may be set aside for the trial of 6
case under the act, and prosecutors are giver
one fourth of the penalties imposed under
the law.
But even if this law should fail to run the
gauntlet of the Supreme Court it will occur
to the mind of the layman that the one which
has done SO will suffice to s'do' the trusts
