THE sTEAMyBTP COMBINAruN

The combination Of transatlantic
steamship lines is commanding quite as
much attention in Europe as in this
country and both official and newspaper
expressions abroad show that 1t is re-
garded with much serious concern. The
matter is being considered by the Brit.
ish admiralty in respect to it's bearing
upon ship subsidies and it was an.
nounced in the House of Commons yes
terday that an arrangement had been
made with the British White Star line
which precluded the possibility of any
Of It's armed cruisers or merchant
steamers being transferred to a foreign
flag without the consent Of the admir-
atty. 1t was intimated that the com
bination may necessitate a radical
change In the subsidy arrangements. A
London journal suggests that vital in
terests of the empire in time of war
may be Jeopardized by the new arrange
ment.
German newspapers apprehend that
the combination may exercise an omi-
nous influence OF European destiny and
declare it to be the real American
danger, saying that Germany cannot af-
ford to be drawn into it. A Vienna
paper describes it as the first world
trust, says 1t Is the most dangerous
conceivable and that the interests Of
the entire world are opposed to America
monopOlizing the whole shipping traffic
of the world. Such Is the profound APP
prehension that has been created abroad
by this latest development of the Com
munity OF interest" policy, yet the men
who have promoted it profess only the
most beneticent purposes. One of the
most prominent of them says that 1.-The
object of the combination is to try to
give better transatlantic service at a
decreased cost" and their promises are
Of a nature to almost persuade convic-
ton that the combination may bring
real benefits to shippers.
1t remains to be seen whether the
combination, formidable as it appears,
will be able to control the rates of
transaLlanuc IrelBntS ana passage. A
number of strong and independent lines
are not in the combination and may not
enter It Meanwhile the question whether
1t is a legal corporation is being con
sidered, it is said, by the Department
of Justice and a high official Of the de-
partment is quoted as of the opinion
that it may be found to be in viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law,
which applies to combinations in re-
straint Of m with foreign n a
tons as well as between the states.
Mr.. Morgan and his associates are not
yet warranted in f~elicitating themselves
on the complete success Of their scheme
for controlling transatlantic commerce.

PROTECTION AND RECIPROCITY.

The republicans of Indiana adhere to
protection and also favor reciprocity
under such conditions as shall not In
terfere with home production. That is
In accord with the policy defined by
President Mckinley. The Indiana plat
form further favors notifications of the
tariff schedules as changing conditions
may require, but such changes shall be
in line with the fundamental principle
Of protection. This is the position taken
by the republicans of Iowa in their
last state platform and we think repre-
sents the view of republicans very gen
orally. 1t will not be questioned that
some of the tariff schedules could now
he modified without doing violence to
the principle of protection, but, there
is a reasonable apprehension that to
undertake a revision of the tariff at
this time would more or less seriously
disturb business.
AS to reciprocity, there seems to be no
probability Of Its receiving any atten-
ton at the present session of congress,
but 1t may be remarked in regard to
the treaties negotiated under the Nc
Kinley administration and now in the
senate that they were made with a view
not to i%nterrupting home production, the
concessions in almost every instance
being less than authorized by the Ding.

AFTERMATH OF BRYNNIsM.

OMAHA, April 24-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The Bee Is entitled to the thanks ~
the people for its exposure Of the sepseIess
hue and cry about the latest myth of the
socialistic agitators. which they call the
Beef trust" II there is a beef trust Il
originates and alone exists among the farm
ers and cattle raisers Of this and other
states. With steers on the hoof bringing
In the open markets OF Chicago and Omaha
from Z to $ cents per pound. It is plain
enough that the rich gains from the ad-
vance in the price Of beef goes to the men
who produce and sell steers and not to the
packers. Beef is high because fattened
steers are scarce and corn and other cattle
foods are high.
But l wish to say in The Bee that the
cutlery about the Beef trust marks only one
more phase of the aftermath Of all those
financial and economic ~fallacies and false
teachings which may be grouped under the
head OF Organism. Il shows, as nothing
else could show, the malign influence which
Mr.. Bryan's hare-brained declarations have
wrought upon all financial. commercial and
economic subjects. On the money question
he was always wrong and never right,
Every prediction he ever made about the re-
lations OF prices and values to the worlds
sound money standard has been overthrow
and made ridiculous by events, and the eli
max of his absurdities as a leader of the
party which he has well-nigh destroyed is
seen in his acrobatic performance on the
Spanish war and the treaty Of Paris, In
which he deliberately butchers every issue
upon which the national democracy could
make a consistent stand against a colonial
policy. GEORGE L. MILLER.

Kesrney is the center and metropolis OF

financial depression, Kearney was far from

REPUBLICANS AND THE TRUST;

The plank of the Indiana republican
platform which will command most at
tention and which will be approved by
all republicans is that which declares
opposition to trusts or combinations
whose purpose or effort is to restrict
business or control prices. This is in
accord with the position of the repub-
lican party since the trust issue became
prominent in public attention. Four
teen years ago, In the national conven-
ton of 1888. the party placed itself on
record in opposition to all combinations
OF capital, organized in trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the condi-
tiOn Of trade and recommended TO con-
gress and the legislatures Of the states
such legislation as will prevent the
execution of all schemes to Cypress the
people by undue charges on their sup
plies or by unjust rates for the trans
p~ortation Of their products to market"
In response to this a republican con-
gress in 1890 enacted and a republican
president approved the antitrust law
now in effect and which the administra-
ton is taking steps TO enforce.
Everywhere republicans are opposed
to combinations to restrict business or
control prices and favor such legislation
for their regulation and supervision as
will prevent abuses. In the meantime
they approve the effort OF the admin
istration to enforce the laws against
illegal combinations and will approve
the demand of the Indiana republicans
that administrative officers, state and
national, shall enforce the laws in the
most vigorous manner, so hat legiti-
mate competition shall not be embar-
raised or destroyed" Republicans. how
ever. do not favor a rash and reckless
policy of destruction in dealing with the
combinations. AS has been said by
President Roosevelt the mechanism of
modern business is so delicate that ex-
treme care must be taken not to inter
fere with 1t in a spirit OF rashness or
ignorance" This most important CUES

NEW PHASE OF STATE RIGHTS.
Water Rights Of Interstate Before the
Supreme Court.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
The case of Kansas against Colorado,
growing out Of the dispute over the right
to the waters of the Arkansas river, raises
one OF the most important questions that
have ever come before the supreme court
Of the United States. 1t involves the rela-
lions OF state to state and OF the states to
the national government. 1t touches the
foundation Of the organic law.
The trouble began when Colorado took to
diverting the waters of the Arkansas for irri-
cation purposes. This river runs through
31o miles of a broad valley in Kansas, max
ing $500, 900 acres Of land probably arabic
and affecting the welfare Of 100000 persons.
The rainfall throughout this valley Is wholly
inadequate to the growing Of cultivated
crops Of any kind. The river is the only
source Of necessary moisture.
Consequently, any diminution in the vol
ume of the Arkansas river must do dam
age to that part OF Kansas through which
II flows The Kansans claimed that Colo
RADIO, by diverting this water was doing
great damage to Kansas. and about a year
ago they hled a bill in equity In the supreme
court against Colorado. praying for a de-
cree enjoining and restraining Colorado In
every way from diverting the waters OF the
Arkansas beyond what 1t now does.
To this bill Colorado demurred and the
supreme court has Just overruled the de-
murrer. The case must, therefore. 60 to
issue and proofs before final decision.
Kansas stands on the ground OF the in
dividusl riparian owner, and invokes the
rule Of the common law that owners Of
lands on the banks OF a river are entitled
to the continual flow OF the stream. 1t con-
tends that Colorado is violating the funda-
mental principle that one must uae his own
30 as not to destroy the legal rights Of an
other.
Colorado contends that as a sovereign
and independent state It is justified, II Its
geographical situation n material well
fare demand It. in consuming for beneficial
purposes all the waters within fits bound
aries. even to the extent Of wholly depriv-
ing Kansas OF any use Of or share in the
waters OF the Arkansas. Colorado claims
that 1t and Kansas are toward each other
as foreign states, and that Kansas possesses
no sovereignty which entities It TO bring
such a suit as that under discussion.
Quite naturally the supreme court asks
at this juncture: "If a state Of this union
deprives another OF Its rights In q navigable
stream, and congress has not regulated the
subject. as no treaty can be made between
them, how is the matter to be adjusted -
or In plain English caa one state OF this
union advance its own interests at the eG-
pense OF a sister state?
The outcome OF this case will be awaited
with the keenest interest. 1t involves. As
Chief Justice Fuller has intimated, the ap-
piieation OF federal law, state law and In
