ANOTHER DODGE.

The Republicans have conceived
scheme by which they hope to be able
to escape any action on the tariff or
regulation of the trusts. Ihey say
that the tariff should be left alone,
bnt that the trusts should be regulat-
cd which thpy assert can not be done
without an amendment to the constltu-
ton making legal antitrust legislation.
Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, in
troduced in the senate joint resolu-
t;on for an amendment to the consti-
tuition SO as to give congress the pow
or to control trusts. He also offered
a bill to amend the Sherman anti
trust law by more stringent proVis
ions. The provision for an amend
ment to the constitution was as fol
lows:
CONGRESS shall have power to de-
fine, regulate prohibit or dissolve
trusts. monopolies Or combinations
whether existing in the form of a cor
noration or otherwise; congress shall
also have power to license, regulate
and control all corporations engaged
in trade. commerce or other business
among the several states rwith for
eign nations.
The bill for the amendment of the
Sherman law makes all members or
combinations in restraint OF trade
illegal and provides punishment OF
the offense by fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for one year, or both,
against each person engaged in the
combination.
The bill also prohibits combinations
in restraint of trade and all attempts
to monopolize any part of the trade
of the several states or territories.
providing fine of $1,000 or imprlson-
ment for one year in each case. Every
corporation engaged in lnt erstale
commerce is required to file with the
interstate commerce commission each
wear a statement giving the names o.
persons to whom stock was originally
issued and the price received for it.
The Republicans thoroughly under
stand that trust regulation by
the constitution amendmen
route is a long one-too long for tn,
hope OF ever doing it in that way
In fact il would be no trouble TO tacl
features To the amendment which
would he SO Objectionable that no
only would the trust fostering Ropubl
cans vote against it, but the Deme
Gratis also would vote for its defeat.
1t is evidently the intention of tn
Republicans to neither revise the
tariff nor To seriously attempt to reg'
late the trusts.

Climbed the flagstaff

The county commissioners have pur-

ed from the top of the court house on
Decoration day. In order to do this,
however, it was necessary that son
one climb the Flagstaff and put new
rope through the pulley at the top as
the old rope rotted and broke last fall
and let the flag drop, since which time
the flag has not adorned the staff. To
do this seemed a hazardous proceeding
as the Flagstaff is old and very rotten
and it hardly seemed that it would bear
the weight of a man or even a boy;
but Albert Carr, a young man who
lives near TyrO, volunteered for the
job and this morning quickly climbed
the pole, which is more than twenty
feet high. and placed a new rope in
position ready for use. Tt was a dan
gerous piece Of work. but it was quick
" done, although the bold climber was

scored a clean Knockout in the begin

TO have been a tWenty-rouud fight with
Zeigler last night. The fight was fast
and furious but the big crowd were not

Zeigler down early in the round and at
