The beef trust under whose impoSitions

City Clerk Matt Jensen yesterday after

as the Prohibition candidate for mayor,
and ordered it filed for a place on the
May election ballot the printing of which
will begin next week. The remainder of
the Prohibition ticket, ten candidates in

Mr.. Jensen's acceptance of Mr.. Fitz' S
name was in line with the decision rem
dered by Judge Jaggard yesterday morn
ing, it reaching him in the afternoon.
The decision confirmed the writ of man
damus asked for by the Prohibitionists,
to compel the acceptance of Mr.. Fitz' s
name and left the clerk no other al
tentative, but to obey.
The principal objection of the legal
department was on the form of petition
and the political belief of the signers, all
Of whom it was contended We're either
Democrats or Republicans and had par

decision Judge Jaggard dismisses both

not. The expression Of one, he says, is

THE ENDURING REMEDT.

The country is to be congratulated on
the splendid uprising of enlightened SEN
ument against the gross extortions prac-
ticed on the masses in the cities by the
meat trust
At the inception of the frauds perpe-
Gated on the people by this particular
monopoly, T e Globe gave voice to
the indignation which is now so uni
vcrsally expressed. This was perhaps the
first daily paper in the country to point
out the menace to popular prosperity
which would be involved if these extor-
tions were allowed to go on without some
emphatic protest on the part of tie peo-
pie
An indignant public opinion has found
expression, and specific results may at
orce be looked for
1t is a crime against society that the
Eecessaries of life should be thus made
the media for extortion of the people.
That crime is the immediate product of
existing industrial conditions. Every one
of the necessaries of life is at this time
in the control of one or other commercial
combinations Virtually one corporation
supplies the people of American cities
with their fresh meat One corporation
furnishes them with their fuel Prac-
tically one concern provides the bulk of
their flour. Every indispensable article
of commerce is thus controlled
We are asked to believe that it is the
law of supply and demand that controls
the prices of commodities thus monop-
olized, and that it is necessary to the
extension of our foreign trade that com
mercial transactions should be thus car
ried on by vast aggregations of capital.
And while this sort of false doctrine is
beng preached, we are calling into ex-
istence substantially the same condi-
uons which socialists are each succeed
ing day denounced for seeking to bring
about. The only difference is that the
worshiper of existing economic and So
cial conditions insists that the corpora
ton or aggregation of corporations must
play the role which the socialists assign
TO the state.
1t does not matter what we do presently
with the meat trust We will not bring
it to an end. We can only teach the
combination that there is a limit to its
greed which cannot be safely over
stepped. The time has not yet come
when the people will insist on a per-
manent remedy. The only relief that
may be looked for will proceed from the
expression of the popular indignation fol-
lowed up by prosecutions under the ma
tional antitrust law. The remedy will.
however, probably be applied by the
trust, from fear of worse consequences,
not by any public agent, because those
combinations are for the time more pow
erful in our social and commercial life
than any and all public agents.
G o e believes that it will be
but comparatively short time until the
American public become aroused to the
dangers which inhere in such a condi-

4 BRITISH Aw4KENIN G


The scenes witnessed in the British
house of commons on Thursday night
show that the British public are not ell
tirely dead to the assaults on the liberty
of the subject which have attended every
step of the prevailing barbarous war in
South Africa
A state of war in any country is a de-
plorable condition. 1t is more so when
the war is being waged, as it is by the
British empire in this case, for the de-
struction Of a peoples liberties. All true
understanding of The rights ct the In
dividual disappears in the excesses Of
those in authority
The escape from defeat which the Tory
Unionist ministry has just experienced e.
fers splendid example of the enormtits
which a state of war necessitate in the
way Of the destruction of Individual
rights
South African editor who charged
against Kitchener that he directed the
killing of all Boer prisoners appears to
have been sentenced to Imprisonment for
a year for libel, and to have served out
his sentence. He is still deprived of his
liberty; and the contemptuous explana-
ton offered by a member Of the exist
ing ministry is that the government did
not desire to increase the number of anti
British propagandists in the British ISL
ands by allowing the imprisoned man TO
return to England. This was supplement-
| ed by the additional explanation that
while the period of Imprisonment of the
editor had come to a close, the matter Of
his release. was still undetermined.
Sucn expressions from those responsible
for the conduct of a constitutional gov
ernment reveals how far the dry rot of
military absolutism has eaten into the
body of British society It involves a
warning which evidently MANY of the
| governments adherents in parliament
have taken to heart, and a lesson on the
vicious and unconstitutional position now
| occupied by Chamberlain and his sup
porters which was read with force and
eloQuence by members Of the opposition
like John Morley, Sir William Harcourt
and James Bryce
Militarism and commercialism represent
the guiding genius of the so-called Re
publican and ConservatiyS- parties of the
| United States and England Neither con
servatism nor republicanism is at the
heart of either. They are the exponents
in each case CT national greed and of a
departure from all the accepted land
marks of constitutional freedom Ma
tional prosperity, in commerce and trade
seems to go with the operations of eacn
in its home. But the people Of t.oc Unit
ed States, like those Of England and just
as surely in the one case as in tie Other
will one day pay the penalty of national
| disaster and sorrow as the outcome OF
the courses which are now being pursued
by the unconstitutional courses of their
governments.

POVERTY HIS OFFENSE
MOTION FOR RECEIVER OF DEBT
OR'S PROPERTY DENIED
Proceedings Instituted by Bibb
Broom-COrn Company Against Ira,
Gardner Designated ''DraStic"-
Less Stringent Procedure Ade-
quate to Purpose OF the Case.

In an order filed by Judge Kelly, of the
district court, yesterday, he denies the
motion of the plaintiff in the case OF
the Bibb BroOm-Corn company against
Ira Gardner, to have receiver appointed
for the defendant, after he had made
disclosure in supplementary proceedings
The decision Of Judge Kelly is accom-
PANIED by a memorandum in which the
court says:
The disclosure shows that the de-
fendant had a small plat of land and d
wagon or two used for garden purposes,
which may be subject to levy. There is
no proof that defendant had concealed his
property from creditors or fraudulently
disposed of it. Defendant owned house
and lot, subject TO a mortgage of 81 ,0O0
and delinquent taxes, which was rented
for $15 a month. Plaintiff wanted a re-
ceiver to take the personal property and
collect the rents. Receiverships were ex-
pensive. A receiver was unnecessary in
this case. The plaintiff could have
reached the defendants unexempt per-
sonal property by levy, and his rents by
garnishment, and could do so still as
readily and effectively as could a re-
ceiver. He was entitled to no such ''dras-
tic proceedings to use the language of
the supreme court.
Defendant appeared in person and Of
fered to turn over the rents if they were
applied on the delinquent taxes. This
was declined by the plaintiffs attorney.
Plaintiffs attorney also moved the
court for an order directing defendant to
pay plaintiff $4345 "costs and disburse-
ments,' on these supplementary pro-
ceedings, and so costs in this motion.
which showed that the effect of these
proceedings was often to make an un-
necessary bill of expenses against a man
whose only offense appeared to be his
poverty

MINNESOTA AT ST. LOUIS.

The far-reaching national character OF
generally recognized. The proper ceIebra-
ton of the acquisition of the great en-
pire ceded to US by Napoleon is a nation
al obligation.
While there has been something of an
excess of Industrial expositions in all
countries during the past ten years OF
so, it remains true that the public desire
to participate in such events shows no
sign of diminution.
Moreover, the national event to be
celebrated through the ST. Louis display
bearing on the history and development
of this nation.
1t is a remarkable fact, that while al
most all the other states in the Union,
many of them infinitely less important
than this, have possessed themselves of
the necessary facilities to make splendid
display of their resources at the approach
ing exposition, nothing whatever has been
done by US in that direction.
This is ineXcusable. We ought to have
acted much more promptly than we have.
We ought to be in a position to control
a desirable site on the exposition grounds,
in order that the resources of the state
shall be made fully understood.
No one will say that we did not get the
full value of the moneys expended at the
pan-American exposition. Never before
did the state receive such splendid ad-
vertising as it did on that occasion. The
distinguished and popular editor Mr.. H.
2. Hall, through the medium of that oc-
casion, helped to do the state some ma
teria service,
The governor should go ahead and ap-
point the necessary executive body to

There can be nothing gained by delay.
There are other matters of infinitely less

ther delay, at least in naming those who
will be entrusted with the work of see
ing that the state is properly Represented
