the two judges Of the district court all

trict judge to go to Dubuqrie and try
the Dubuque Telegraph receivership
case. This case has been hanging fire
for some time. the brother partners in
the concern rot being able To agree, and
finally one of them made affidavit that
he could not get justice before Judge
Matthews, in whose department the
case naturally fell. Inasmuch as judge
lO'Donnel did not care to get into the
case and has formidable assignment
of criminal matters ahead of him, he
foresaw that 1t would be hard for him
to give the Telegraph his attention May

united in petition TO the chief Justice
asking him to send another judge to.

wants help he makes the arrangement

the chief justice to direct Judge TO GO

authority. But the authority exists in

struck is only forty feet deep, and is
resting on bed of sulphur. These
facts were ascertained by the driliers.
After the oil was struck the pipe was
permitted to sink until it struck the bot

gone down. The drillers then bored four
feet into what they say is a bed of pure
sulphur. In two of the other gushers
sulphur was struck before the oil was
reached. President Gilbert says that in
a few days the valve will be opened to

Washington. April 9.-The state de-

touching efforts making there to reach
an agreement respecting the indemnity

acting under direct instructions from

Sir Robert Hart, have decided to be

on no account should the total indem-

and has steadfastly sought to make
that figure the outside limit of claims.
For itself the state department GLAZING

Rockhill with data for presentation of

possible that if Rockhill can induce the

do so. tho the apparent result would be

rapidly here than in any other coun-
try. Great Britain in 1899 turned
% per cent of her iron into steel.
In 1898 our imports of iron and steel
were twice our exports. Last year our
exports were six times our imports,
exceeding them by 500, 900, 900. In
1894 and 1896 the British production
of iron surpassed American; during
every other year of the decade the
primacy remained with us. Last
year British production was 9.O51, 10Y
tons, American production Is, 7S9, 242
tons.
The writer of the article, John
Franklin Crowell. considers that the
further healthy development of the
steel industry requires lower prices in
the home market to increase demand.
and the general revision of our tariff
that foreigners may both sell and buy
more freely in this country. In
both conclusions the public generally
will concur.

TRUSTS THE ENEMIES OF MAN

Capital and labor are entitled to
equal protection under the law. That
is democratic doctrine, and it is
right. However, it is laid down
as a fundamental law that monopo-
lies are q menace to business and
therefore against public policy and
ought to be suppressed. Trusts are
gigantic monopolies intended to alb
solutely control business and to crush
all competition. Trusts are the great
est enemies to free aud prosperous
people that ever put in an appear
ance, and. like serPents, their heads
ought to be knocked of.
