TO REPORT AGAINST TRUSTS
THE INDUSTRIAL. COMMISSION EXPECT.
ED TO RECOMMEND DRAS-
TIC MEASURES
[BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.


Washington. June 24.-It is learned on good
authority that the Industrial Commission is
preparing for submission to the next session Of
Congress a report which severely arraigns the
trusts and recommends drastic methods by
which TO curb the power of these combinations.
The report will declare the Sherman Antitrust
law wholly inadequate to cope with the rapidly
growing power of the trusts, and will also assert
that this law has been fagrantly violated in nu-
merous instances that will be specified. Some
members of the commission also will make a sep
arate report. in which they will take the ground
that the Sherman law goes far the
stituton warrants. and that to meet what TO
them is an evil either the constitution must be
so amended to invest Congress with the
power needed TO curb the trusts or the whole
question must be dealt with uniformly by the
States.
Around the Industrial Commissions report it
question will sc next winter. and as the COM
mission IS dominated by Republicans. with Sen
ator Kyle. Of South Dakota. as chairman, II
cannot be seen how the Democrats are to make
out of this issue the political capital which
their leaders banking. II is also ex-
pected that the report will enable the Repub-
lcans to hold the seat in the Senate
cupied by MIR. Kyle and for which Mr.. Petit
grew already is striving. In other words. the
report will take all the wind out OF Pettigrew's
sails.

Exports

There is no civilized land in the
world and few savage ones where evil
dence of American ingenuity and skill
do not confront the traveller on every
side. Up in the north of Sweden trains
Of reindeer are drawing American
wood-cutting machinery to points not
far distant from the North Cape. The
machinery has to be hauled hundreds
of miles over the plains of snow, but
the shrewd Swedish lumbermen have
found that its use almost doubles their
profits. Again Puntas Neras in TERRA
del Fuego is the most southerly CONT
mental spot on the globe. The impor-
tant lighthouse there is equipped with
electric machinery manufactured with
in few hundred miles of New York
City. Some Of the schemes devised by
the enterprising Yankee are so daring
that they might have been almost sac
religious in less practical age. A
large consignment of steam pumps was
lately shipped to the East. Their des-
tination was the Jordan. Formerly
chance had found 1t profitable to Sc
cure calabashes of water from the sa-
cred river and sell their contents to
churches and converts to be used as
holy water. A wideawake American
saw his opportunity. He devised a
steam pump of convenient size, a num-
Der of which were set up at suitable
points along the banks Of the Jordan.
The result was profitable business in
retailing to the churches all over Eu-
rope. Again, American devices are
finding their way into the vatican it
self. The sovereign pontiff has recent
ly been our customer for a fashlight
apparatus, which stands by his couch
and can be ignited at any moment dur
ing the night by pressing a button.

TAX

In India the native tax collector is
intensely proud of his position and has
methods which are, to say the least OF
them, ingenious. The small amount OF
legal oversight which he receives tends
to make him despotic, and he gets his
pound of flesh in a manner entirely
his own. 1t is said, however, that the
conscientious performance Of his du-
ties is likely to get him into trouble,
if the recent inquiry relating to the
Guzarat district substantiates the COM
plants that have been made. GuZarat
is a maritime province in the northern
part of the Bombay presidency and, al
though some of the districts are flour
ishing, others are in a stricken
state owing to the barrenness of the
soil. This gradually becomes worse
as the briny spray from the sea causes
a deterioration of fertility. The aver
age tax collector there has matter
offact, everyday system of horsewhip-
ping persons who object to paying their
revenue dues. By way of variation, or
when a whip is not at hand, its place
Is taken by a stick, club or by boot
leather. II the culprit has skin with
which this treatment is not persuasive
other methods are tried and an in
stance of unsurpassed degradation is
reported from the village Of Bhatgaum.

money was due was led through the

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.
Officer a. &. Swanson of the Council
Bluffs Force Tells an Interest
ing Story

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Jan. 10, 1901
Especial )-Kindheart Officer Swan
son of the local police force is very
popular in this city. He has lived
here for seventeen years, and has en-
joyed many high Offices in social and
society work He is now Vice-Presi-
dent of the 'Dannebrog' Brotherhood,
the largest Danish secret society in
America, which combines benevolent
with the social features. Owing to the
constant exposure and many hours on
his feet, which his duty as a police
officer makes unavoidable, Mr. Swan
son became the victim of serious Kid
ney and Liver Trouble. He was very
bad, but has entirely recovered. He
gives the story in his own words as
follows:
Il have been a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trouble,
and have tried many remedies, some OF
which gave me temporarily relief. and
others which were absolutely worth
less. | began to think that there was
no help for me, when my nephew gave
me a part of box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills which he had left, saying that it
would do no harm to try them, as they
had certainly fixed him all right. What
he gave me helped me so much that l
felt justified in purchasing more, and
| grew slowly better 1t took almost
two months to effect a complete cure,
as mine was a very bad case. but | can
cheerfully and truthfully say that l am
a well man today. and | am very
grateful that Dodd's Kidney Pills
were thus brought to my notice.
The wonderful cures effected by
DOdd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have ere
ated quite sensation in some parts
of the state. There does not seem to
be any case of Lame Back, Rheuma-
tism Kidney or Bladder Trouble which
these wonderful Pills cannot cure
They are certainly popular here, and
the sale through the local druggists is
very large

AN INNOVATION.
The Louisville & Nashville r. r.

The Louisville & Nashville R. r., to-
gether with its connecting lines, has
inaugurated the Chicago & Florida
Limited, which is daily, solid train,
wide vestibuled, steam heated, gas
lighted, with dining car service for all
meals en- route from Chicago to Thorn
asville, Ga. Jacksonville and st. Au-
gustine, Fla. The train leaves Chicago
over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
tracks at HOO a. m, running via Ev-
ansville. Nashville, Birmingham and
Montgomery, Plant System to Jack
sonville, and Florida East Coast to st.
Augustine, arriving at the latter city
at 1880 the next evening, making the
fastest time ever made between these
points. The train has annex sleeper,
leaving st. Louis at 2:15 p m. which
also runs through Mr. G. L. Stone.

streets by rope with which his hands
were tied. The rope was then put into
the hands Of Died, who led the man
to the neighboring village of Olpad.
Western people may not see anything
very heavy in this treatment, but con-
veying a man with his hands tied is
considered specially degrading by the
natives of India. In addition, Died
belongs to one of the lowest castles,
whom people are not permitted to
touch, so that being led, or practically
driven by such a person, is about the
depth of degradation in the eyes OF
these people. In other cases families
have been turned out of their homes
at a moments notice, often suffering
great privation. Others have been for
hidden to use the village well, an order
which means great distress in a hot
country. Houses, cattle and lands have
in many instances been attached" a
proceeding better translated at the
present time by the word "cOmman-
deered," and in many cases the trou-
BILE has been made worse by resource
to money lenders. Wives have been
compelled to sell their wedding pres
ents, which every class of people in
Guzarat are obliged to make on the
marriage of relative. These presents
are the sole property of the wives and
it is considered not only improper and
dishonorabie, but sacrilegious, for such
to be sold, or even pledged.
