regret that the government had ac-

the exhibition, remarking that ''the
amenities which we have received from
the United States are not great enough
for that" Another speaker, while sup
porting the appropriation. said that
lowing to their unjust and arbitrary
treatment of us we are not favorably
disposed toward the Americans" The
appropriation was voted, but the senti-
ments expressed showed very clearly
that this was not lone from friendship
for this country but as one of the mem
bers OF the Diet remarked, "for our own
advantage"

COLOMBIAN OPPOSITION.

The Colombian congress will meet

he consideration of the canal treaty.
According to adyices received at Wash
ington the Colombian administration Is
using its best efforts to further the rati-
ication of the treaty, but is much hand
lcapped. There is said TO be strong op-
position to the convention. headed by
the former minister at Washington,
who was relieved Of the duty Of nego-
tlating the treaty after having shown
an obstructive disposition in regard TO
II and a tendency to create compiler
lions. 1t Is also stated that British and
German interests I'm Colombia are hos
tile TO ratification and are "endeavoring
to allure the ColomblaEs with a prop
osltion for n great international syndi-
cate to take over the rights of the canal
company If the treaty fails. They
promise the Colombians n canal in any
event and argue that an international
waterway would be more beneficial
than one controlled by the United
States. A Washington dispatch says
the Colombian representative there is
much disturbed over the prospects Of
the treaty.
Doubtless there is some substantial
ground for these statements, but It
Is improbable that the opposition will
prove to be quite so serious as rep
resented. The treaty is most fair to
Colombia, our government making
every reasonable concession that coun-
try asked. so that It is not easy to see
what valid objection to 1t can be urged
on the part of Colombians, If they de-
sire the completion Of the canal. The
opponents of the treaty must under
stand that nothing more is to be OBJ
tained from the United States than is
provided for in this convention and If
the treaty fails the project will be
abandoned and this country will take
up the Nicaragua route. Therefore
while a considerable opposition to rati-
flying the treaty may develop, it seems
entirely safe to say that it will not pre-

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Growing COnhic of state and
National Laws.
Chicago News,

ON@6S @'~"S
Judge Chetlain's decision taking the case
OF some OF the indicted coal operators from
the jury and setting the defendants at lib
erty assumes peculiar interest in the light
Of certain other recent court decisions. The
courts reason for Diminishing the case is
that while the agreement OF the operators
to fix prices was made in Chicago this
agreement was part of a contract affecting
interstate commerce and therefore under
the exclusive jurisdiction OF the United
States courts. The alleged restraint OF
trade was brought to bear upon a COM
modify shipped from one state to another
and there sold in car lots, thus partaking
OF the character OF interstate commerce.
The powers Of congress TO regulate and
protect such commerce, the court holds. are
absolute, plenary and exclusive, the Illinois
antitrust law therefore being applicable
only where the m restrained is
wholly within the state.
The decision serves to illustrate the need
for a thorough judicial review OF the whole
question OF state and federal Jurisdiction
pertaining to trusts and interstate COM
merce. 1t seems futile to hope for salts
factory legislation on these questions until
a clear and authoritative opinion upon the
subject has been secured from the federal
supreme court. In the present case we md
a state unable TO punish a violation OF its
own law because the act OF violation was
part OF a larger act which comes under the
jurisdiction Of federal law. In interesting
contrast TO this We have the recent supreme
court decision in the sugar case, which at-
Armed that as the sugar monopoly lay In
the production and manufacture OF sugar
and its sale and transportation were Incl
dental thereto the monopoly was not within
the prohibition Of a federal act governing
interstate commerce. Granting that both
decisions are perfectly logical and sound,
where is the line to be drawn? Where do
the powers OF the state begin and those Of
the federal government terminate? Al
What point on its journey from factory TO
retailers store does a given commodity be-
gin TO be a part Of interstate commerce?
Il Is evident that the country must have
a much clearer definition II Il is TO frame
state and national laws so that they will
| dovetail together properly and provide a
| practical working device for restraining in
reference with trade. At present there is
disagreement among even the best authori-
ties. Recently. for instance, Attorney Gen
eral Knox expressed the belief that the
facilities and instrumentalities OF inter
state might be denied 10 a corpo-
ration guilty OF monopoly practices even
though the monopoly we're limited 10 one
locality. Il is TO be assumed that the fed
eral government may do indirectly through
one OF its own laws what a state, on ac-
count OF that Law, is prohibited from doing:
or are the Knox theory and the present de-
cIsion 10 be regarded as corollaries-the

INFLUENZA AGAIN
ANOTHER EPIDEMIC OF THE GRlF
IS ANTICIPATED.
Many Cases Reported Already in Thii
Part of the Country-A
sense Rcmcdy for the Disease
and Its Enects.

Owing to the climatic conditions this
year many physicians fear another cpl
demic of the grip, that form OF influenza
which so many have cause to remember.
In some cases this disease has run its
course with but little more severity than a
hard cold. in others Il has caused acute
sickness. In nearly every case It has left
a train of after effects more troublesome
than the disease itself. 1t is characteristic
of the grip that ordinary medicines will
not cure IL permanently. The patient
seems to have recovered and then suffers a
relapse more severe than the first attack.
The trouble in such cases is I'D the dis
ease was not thoroughly eradicated from
the system by dhe treatment employed.
Miss c. A. Peck Of No. 6SS East Four
teenth street, Minneapolis. Mimi, had a
very severe attack of grip in 1889 and 1t
left her Frustrated. Il could not get over
that feeling OF utter exhaustion she says.
II had no ambition to do anything and any
little e~xertion made me out OF breath and
tired out. l grew thin, nervous and
irritable. Then l decided to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the
first box made me feel better. Four boxes
restored ne to my natural good health"
The after effects Of the grip are often
worse than the disease and many times
they battle all efforts of the best physicians
to drive them out of the system. Health
is shattered-the blood becomes poor, the
flesh falls away, the sufferer grows nervous
and irritable and even slight %eTertion
causes shortness OF breath. These are
dangerous symptoms and indicate that the
system is in a state that invites pneumonia,
bronchitis or even consumption. Or. VII
lams' Pink pills for Pale People will
quickly restore,the health after an attack
of grip and expel the lingering germs, and,
working through the blood, will render the
system proof against the disease. DR..

Professional TrOubIe-BOrrowers Adj
vised to- Try the PIOw.
LoulsvIlle Courier-Journal

1Ob
The farmers of Nebraska and Kansas have
been making such big crops for four or
five years and getting such good prices for
them that many are leaving the pillow and
taking up their residence in the cities. A
Nebraska dispatch says:
'Several Of the professors at the State
university have been giving little talks
recently about what they declare is a bad
thing for the country. The bad thing is
that a farmer gets rich before he gets old.
Each spring and fall there is.a big hegira
from the farms to the towns and cities
OF men who have made their pile in the
wheat fieldsSand, want to rest and educate
their children. -
This, the horrihed professors say, will
lead to the degeheration@ and demoraliza-
tion Of the western farmer, and will soon
place agricultural conditions on the same
level as in England. Germany and Austria,
with landlords living in luxury in the cities
and the tenantry impoverished"
Perhaps the situation is not as ominous
as the professors tell us. II it comes to
the worst 1t might be remedied by re-
stocking the abandoned farms with profess
sors. 1t might take some time to make
good farmers OF these loquacious theorists,
but their practical occupation on the farms
ought to result in material good to the
country generally by insuring sufficient
Quietude to enable 1t to get a good nights
sleep now and then.
