THE CASE IN THE COURTS

The case Of the state against the North
ern Securities company is in the hands
of the supreme court of the United States.
While this action is brought in the name
of the state of Minnesota, it has the in
dorsement and represents the state gov
ernments of five great states throughout
the northwest. The plans and proceed
ings contemplated by the state of Min
nesota were laid before the representa-
tiyes of these states at the Helena con-
ference and received their Endorsement.
The action is one of the most important
ever brought in any court Of law in this
country. The principles involved are of
great consequence not only to plaintiff
and defendant in this case, but to the
people of the whole country The allie
cations upon which the attorney general
of the state asks the supreme court to
take judicial notice of the character and
purpose of the Northern Securities COM
pany have already been presented to the
readers OF this paper and it is not neces-
sary to repeat them here. The supreme
court has taken the matter of Jurisdiction
under advisement and is expected at an
early date to announce whether or not
it will assume jurisdiction and provide
for the taking of testimony and for a
thorough investigation of the whole mat
ter.
1t is to be hoped that the supreme court
will take jurisdiction of this case and
that the public may have the benefit of
"a thorough inquiry by the highest tri-
bunal in the land, since the issues in
VOWED are. Of great Importance, and in
the consideration of them by the supreme
court and in the conclusions at which it
may arrive it may be anticipated that
principles will be established and judicial
conclusions reached of incalculable value
in the further treatment and considera-
ton of the whole trust question.
h e j ournal is exceedingly hope
full that the issues raised may be tried
and settled in the courts, where the con-
ditions favor calm consideration and safe
conclusions. 1t has favored from the be-
ginning such disposition of the matter,
if possible. For it recognizes the
possibility that failure to find a remedy
against consolidation in the courts may
lead to legislative action taken under con-
ditions less favorable for perfectly fair,
sound and wise results. Under present
conditions the danger is that if this mat
ter is thrown in the legislature and must
find it's cure there, the situation may
lead to harsh, extreme and drastic meas
ures in which the bounds of prudence. may
be oversteDped. ..i .-.. -,
All the ends of public policy are to
be served by the disposal Of this con
troyersy in the courts, and we earnestly
hope that it may be satisfactorily deter
mined there Not that we would have the
people without remedy if the courts can
not furnish it, but that we would have
the courts render the important service
to the public of protecting the laws OF
the stete trom violation, however clever,
adroit and skillful the means devised to
accomplish the evasion and defeat, Of the
laws intent and expressed purpose.

The PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES I"


The Cooper bill for civil government
in the Philippines undertakes to- define
the status of the inhabitants of the Philip
pine islands. All natives Of the Philip
pines, and such former Spanish sub
jects as do not elect to retain
their former allegiance; as pro-
vided in the treaty, and American citi
zens resident in the Philippines are to
constitute a body polite under the name
of "the people of the Philippines" This
is status new to American govern
mental experience. The Philippines are
not made an independent nation. Neither
are they made a territory. Yet in that
American citizens are made by that fact
and residence in the islands, members
Of the body polite, they resemble the IA
miliar territorial form of government.
Certainly they are in this respect treated
as domestic territory, and, in fact, they
are now domestic territory.
Before long the United States will have
to adopt a definite policy as to the evolu..
ton of the Philippines. They must be
trained either for independence or for
statehood. It will be hard for us anc
hard for them if they are not given some
definite end to look forward to. Such a
step is the logical sequence of the efforts
we are making to educate the natives and
prepare them for self government, When
they are capable Of governing them
selves it will have to be, ultimately, as
state or states or else as an independent
nation. ---- - =

darins and officialdom generally, as well
as the business Chinese element, have
found out the advantages of, these ad-
juncts Of civilization. Before the en-
press.s coup in 1898 there were in various
parts of the empire active operate in
the construction of telegraphs, railways,
factories, development Of, mines, etc,
which were not disturbed by the people.
The war against progress was initiated by
the ruling class, who got their inspiration
from the dowager empress, who nipped in
the bud the reform proclivities OF the
young emperor.
The conditions are somewhat different
now, for the allies have insisted upon
larger liberty of action for foreigners
and release from certain restrictions as
to diplomatic intercourse, and hold the in
demnity lien of 1888, 100000 over the
Chinese government with firm hand
1t is rather absurd to find the empress
dominant at Picking again, after all the
bloodshed and ruin she promoted, but, II
she is half as intelligent as reputed, she
will take care not to initiate another
reign of terror, and will follow the adj
vice of those Chinese liberals who, with

China" believe in occidentalizing their
country freely and securing modern arma-
ments and drill for army and navy suff-
GENTLY strong to make it hazardous
thing for foreign power to attempt die
tation and interference in Chinese affairs.
There would be more security for China
if she developed herself as Japan has
done-getting all the amenities Of west
ern civilization and tuition from foreign
experts and then taking the helm herself
and gradually receiving the respect of
the civilized powers. The process will
take longer in China, but the same results
can be obtained which have uplifted Japan
to the condition of feared and respected
power.

The good people of Leydenville were
wrought UP to a fine pitch of righteous indig-
nation, but If old Henry Leyden, three days
in his grave, could have heard the comments
which followed the reading Of his will he
would probably have chuckled just as he had
done. in bygone days when his neighbors had
discussed his domestic or business affairs.
The will was a marvel Of simplicity, and
Judge Barrow declared that no court on earth
would set it aside. Nevertheless the women
who loved Lucy Leyden for her gentle dispo-
sition ana kindly heart openly grieved. The
men who had admired John Willoughbys
brave struggle against heavy odds swore at
the deceased roundy for a stubborn meddler
with fate. Even Miss Polly Fowler, who had
taught them both at the little red school-
house, had been heard to remark in tone
not wholly devoid of fear at her own "brash-
ness that, while she didn't wish anybody
bad luck, she shouldn't shed tears if she
heard Henry Leyden had met. his "come-up-
pance'' in the next world. .,
But the fact remained that the dead man
had begueathed his stock in the Decatur q
Leydenyille road to his nephew, Ben Morris;
his stock in the Leydenville bank to distant
home for cripples .(Henry Leyden had been
afflicted from birth with club FOOT. and,
after a few scattered requests to distant rela-
tives, to Lucy he had left only the old home
stead and all personal property found thereon
at the time Of his death.
This at least assured Lucy and her mother
the same refuge that had been open to them
ten years before, when George Leyden went
the way of prodigal sons, leaving the two
women to the mercies OF his crotchety but
wealthy brother But the income that had
supported the homestead died with it's owner,
and the question of how it was to be kept up
agitated all Leydenville.

gagged for four years, but the girls uncle had

ADJUSTMENTS
The Frawley Company in "The
Liars" at the metropolitan. ,


Henry Arthur Jones' comedy Of 1.-THE
LIARS presented by Daniel Frawley and his
stock company at the Metropolitan last eve
ming, is a play of doubtful value Ostensi
bly, it teaches lesson; the lesson that an
elopement between an unmarried man and
married woman won't work, and can
not result in happiness. But we knew that
before, and, unfortunately, the drama is so
constructed that the audience must inevita-
bly, sympathize with the lovers, the dramatist
attaining his end only by becoming didactic.
Even this might be forgiven, however, were
the play smart But it is not Mr.. Jones'
wit is not sprightly. 1t is dangerously near
to being ponderous. Complaining of her hus-l
band, Lady Jessica says that he could not
see joke. That was the trouble with the
audience that attended the presentation of
1.-THE Liars last night. It wanted to laugh,
but the opportunity was lacking. The smart
ness of Pfnero, the epigrammatic wit Of that
other English playwright, whose name is now
taboo, are both wanting in the Jones plays.

Decentralization of a Dress.


a dramatization of dress was introduced at
Dalys theater last night. The frocks in
Crooks and Frills'' were not the plays
frills, but it's subject matter. The garments
of actresses have often been made an attrac-
tive accessory the stage, but this time
they were principal in interest. Therein lay
Sydney Grundys success with new use
of old scribe themes. The heroine was Hilda
Spong, and the character she assumed was
that of dressmaker and dress weaver.
This parsonage belonged to an impoverished
family of naughty aristocrats. So Miss Spong
went into business under the alias of Clio
thilde & Co., made lot of money, got her
relatives cut OF financial difficulty and be-
came the wife Of her true lover. That was
the simple story OF the comedy.
One act of this play passed in Miss Sponges
London dress shop in the time Of the present.
One Of the frocks was a part of the plot,
because 1t hal been made for the Queen of
Spain, and the question of duplicating 1t has
a bearing on the happiness or misery of the
heroine But all of them seemed to be so
absorbingly interesting to the women in the
audience that the entertainment may be set
down as one to be generally visited.
"A masculine element strove to assert itself
against the highly embellished femininity.
Jameson Lee Finnery led in that effort, by
his means of his talent and the eccentric
role OF a good humored sufferer. Robert
