He Went West and Prospered.

Freeland, Kan, March 9th.-One Of
the most prosperous farmers in Har-
per County is Mr.. N. H. Mead. Some
thirty-four years ago he left his homo
near Clarence, N. Y, and came to Kan
sas. Here he has thrived splendidly,
and last year harvested over one hun.
dred and forty acres of wheat alone.
But everything has not gone we'll
with Mr.. Mead, for his health has not
been good for the last few years. He
has suffered a great deal with Kidney
and Bladder Trouble and could get
nothing to stop it. Lately, however,
he has improved a great deal, and he
says that he has none of the old
symptoms left and is feeling splendid
again. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills
and this remedy seemed to work Won
ders in his case. He says himself:
'Dodd's Kidney Pills have made me
we'll. They are all right and a reliable
remedy for Kidney Trouble. They
helped me right from the start, giving
NE great relief, and finally cured me-"

FIGBTING AMERICAN COMPETITION

NiuhLINb AmEhINAN COmBEIIIION.
The disposition in Europe to fight
American competition continues un-
abated and from time to time assumes
new forms of aggresslveness. The
folly Of 1t never seems to occur to Euro
pean statesmen-that is to some of
them who are most fairly removed from
what is really the competition COM
mercially of this country. For ex-
ample, the dispatches a few days ago
said that the finance minister OF Aus
tria-Hungary had suggested n CONNER
cial union between the states of Europe
In antagonlsm TO American competi-
ton and had seriously urged that this
was necessary in order to protect those
countries against the invasion CONNER
cially of this country.
1t would be difficult to conceive of
a proposition more ridiculous than this
and yet its suggestion by an official
high in the councils of one of the lead
ing powers of continental Europe gives
1t an authority which entities it to con-
sideration. 1t suggests simply this, that
there is in the first states of Europe
a feeling that the time has come when
some very positive and pronounced ac-
ton should be taken to meet or offset
the commercial competition of this
country in the European markets. How
this shall be done is the problem that is
at this moment worrying every Euro
pean country and threatens to trouble
them for some time to come. 1t is
not simply a matter of tariffs, for that
is comparatively easy. Any of those
countries Is at liberty to make its tariff
to suit itself and neither the United
States nor any other country has any
right to object. 1t is simply when dis
ordinations are made that the right of
objection can be urged and It is on
this score alone that the United States
has ever made any objection.
That position we shall undoubtedly
continue to assert. Whatever foreign
governments shall do with reference TO
the protection of their industries we
cannot properly find fault with, so long
as their policy does not involve a dis.
elimination against our products. But
whenever, as in the case of Germany
and Russia and France, tariffs are
made which distinctly discriminate
against American products there will
be objection made and persistence in
that policy will certainly bring retail
iation.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-02-28

Section 2. article III Of the constltu-
tion Of Nebraska makes the following
specific provision relative TO the appor-
tionment Of legislative representation:
At its FIRST regular session after each
(state) enumeration and also after each
enumeration made by the authority of the
United States, but at no other time. the
Legislature shall apportion the senators
and representatives according to the num-
Der OF inhabitants, excluding the Indians
not taxed and soldiers and officers OF the
United States army and navy.
The last apportionment in conformity
with this provision was made by the
legislature Of 1887 on the basis Of the
state census of 1885. The national cen
sus of 1890 furnished a proper basis for
a legislative apportionment and the leg
islature OF 1891 was in duty bound to
avail itself Of the United States census
figures, but the legislature of 1891
failed to discharge this duty, as did
also the legislature of 1901. which had
at it's disposal the returns of the census
taken by the United States in 1900.
1t will be noted that the constitution
expressly declares that legislative ap-
portionment shall be made by the legis-
lature following the taking Of a ma
tlonal or state census. but at no other
time" 1t may be contended that it will
be an infraction of this constitutional
provision for the legislature Of 1908 to
make an apportionment of legislative
representation. that should have been
made by the last legislature. But It is
a serious question whether the refusal
Of the legislature to carry out the man.
date of the constitution would be per
mitted to disfranchise the people of dis
tricts Justly entitled to increased legis-
lative representation, whatever their
motives might be. The trend of popu-
lation In Nebraska during the past
twenty years has been westward, and
that section of the state has suffered
most by the failure of succeeding legls-
latures to enact laws that would give
the region that has grown most in pop
ulatiOn its Just proportion of representa-
ton in the legislature.
While we can see no harm in the en-
nctment Of an apportionment bill dur
ing the present session, it would be we'll
to supplement such legislation by the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment fixing the representation on the
basis of the census of 1900. Such an
amendment submitted by the present
legislature for ratification in 1904
would, If adopted, insure equitable rep.
resentation in the legislature of 1907.
Should the reapportf6nment enacted by
the present legislature be held valid by
the supreme court before the election
Of 1904, no harm would come from the
submission Of a constitutional amend
ment.

DEFENDING THE GOVERNMENT.
suits TO overturn Postomce
Regulations.
Philadelnhla Press.

EulldutlDnld IItSbs
The senate committee on postoffices In
serted in the postoffice appropriation bill
an item the enactment OF which ought
not to be matter of doubt. This item is
the appropriation Of $4,000 for the en-
ployment OF special counsel, to be appointed
by the attorney general. to prosecute and
defend on behalf OF the Postofflce depart
ment all suits now pending in court or
which may hereafter arise, affecting the
second class mail privilege.
This provision is important to the great
reform in which the department is en-
gagged. There are some twenty-five tults
now pending in which restraining orders
have been issued or appeals taken, and
more may come. The publishers who are
conducting their periodicals practically at
the expense of the government, and whose
subsidy is threatened, are making vigor-
ous fight to save. the gigantic abuse. They
have ample and able counsel. They can
AFFORD to pay heavy fees TO arrest the arm
Of the department. They can afford to pay
heavily even to secure temporary injunc-
tions and stave off final action as long as
possible, thus securing a respite for
months. Against this combination Of pub
fishers and their array of counsel the de-
partment has been compelled to fight with
a single assistant. district attorney The
issue involves millions Of dollars and II
would be the highest econ nomy for the gov
ernment to spend s25.OOO for the ample
and adequate prosecution Of these suits
The senate committee rightly took this
view OF the case and the senate ought to
sustain the provision. It certainly will do
so II It correctly understands the matter
It is not at all unlikely that the tombina-
tion of publishers will undertake to cripple
the department by securing the elimination
Of this provision. It can only be done under
some false pretense, and the senate should
not suffersttself to be misled. The depart
ment is Hishing q vital reform under great
dificultidk and It ought to have the help
which it decks.
