PUSH TRUST LEGISLATION.

Under the authority given by recent
legislation the attorney general of the
United States has taken the necessary
action TO obtain precedence and an
early argument for the case of the
United States against the Northern Se-
vides that the attorney general may
file a certificate that, in his opinion,
"the case is of general public import
ance," and upon such filing the case
and in every way expedited, and he as
signed for hearing ct the earliest prac-
ticable day, before not less than three
Of the circuit judges of said circuit"
In promptly availing himself of the au-
thority conferred by this act, Attorney
General Knox has given assurance of
his purpose to push proceedings against
the combinations which he may believe
to be violating the law.
This the public expects him to do.
The legislation Of congress, if less COM
plete for trust regulation than could
have been wished. is yet sufficient to
enable the attorney general to press the
enforcement of the laws. For this pur-
pose he has been supplied with ample
funds. a necessary provision which I'M
til now congress had failed to make.
The antitrust act Of 1890 is In full
force and IL is the common belief thai
most of the combinations exist i'm con
%travention of that law, They cannot
all be reached at once. The attorney
general may institute proceedings
against the more conspicuous amonp
them, but he VIII be careful to know
his ground and not act with undue
haste. The decision Of the supreme
court of the United States seems tc
warrant the opinion that there is not
an existing combination, engaged in in
t~erstate or foreign commerce, that doe,
not violate the law by in some wa,
operating in restraint of trade. Tn.

PANAMA. CANAL OPTION.

1t has been a%pprehended that the
option Of the French company to sell
the Panama canal would die today I'M
less the treaty with Colombia was rati-
fled. 1t had been agreed that the
option should run until March 4, 1903,
and it was thought possible that in the
event of the treaty not being ratified
by that date the French company
would refuse to extend the option II
demand more than the $~40,0O0,000
agreed upon as the price to be paid by
the United States for the canal.
This led the Washington authorities,
when 1t became apparent that the treaty
would not be ratified at this session, to
ask for an extension of the option. At
torney General Knox yesterday an
nounced that the request had been ac-
coded to and the report indicates that
the French company has placed no
Limitation upon the extension and is
willing to wait until the canal treaty
is ratified, whenever that may be, it
being assured, of course, that the time
will not be remote. That the Panama
company is very anxious to dispose of
its property is well understood, but
it would have been quite justified in
declining to extend the option unless
the price to be paid was increased. 1t
would seem that Senator Morgan
would now realize the absolute hope
lessness of further opposition to the
to defeat it's ratification. There is no
question that he most earnestly and
profoundly believes all that he has said
against the Panama route, but he is in
a very small minority and ought to give
up the useless fight.

. ALASKA HOMESTEAD Law.

The enactment of the Alaska home
stead law will undoubtedly prove of
great benefit to that territory. 1t is
reasonably expected to stimulate the in
creas of population, those familiar
with the country asserting that the
want of such a law has prevented
people going to Alaska for permanent
settlement. 1t is a quite general notion,
particularly in the east, that there is
little in that territory to invite popula-
ton and that there is small chance of
1t ever being much better settled than
at present.
1t is needless to say that this is an
entirely mistaken idea, as the result of
Investigations by government officials
conclusively shows. The fact is that
there is a very large area Of Alaska
that is available for agriculture and
1t is highly probable that most of this
will be taken up under the homestead
law within a comparatively few years
and a prosperous community estab-
lished where now there are few people.
According to government reports there
is a region suitable for agriculture
capable of sustaining a very consld-
cradle population and where the eli
mate during most of the year is as
favorable as in some of our northwest
ern states. The false Impressions which
have widely obtained in regard to
Alaska are of course largely responsible
for the past neglect of congress to make
proper provision for the territory, but
now that the value of the resources
Of that country is better understood
1t will receive the consideration II
merits. 1t is a rich possession, which
has already repaid many times what
our government paid Russia for it and
will continue to contribute literally to
the national wealth.

GROWN JEWELS.

In passing through this busy world, my
friend, think not Of self alone,
And turn to other wayfarers a heart as

Wear not upon your face the brand OF cold,
unfeeiing s,'fslness,
Nor turn a. deafened ear to those wi feel
the talons of distress.
With true nobility of mind endeavor to do
all you can
To cast some sunshine DER the clouds that
hover round your fellow mi
And you will reap a rich reward from out
the Masters fount of love,
And every smile on earth will be a Jewel
In your crown above.
A CHEEKY word when spoken to a man on
brink of dark despair
May give him courage TO again a k up the
load he has TO bear,
May blow to life and active flame the
smouldering embers in his heart, Z
Give him the courage and the will to rise
and make another start.

That pile themselves in threatening banks
along some weary plodders path
A smile that wrinkles from a heart that
overiows with brother love,
And 1t will prove a jewel In the crown that
waits for you above.
Do we'll your Christian duty in the glorious
brotherhood of man
Remember as you pass along hat life on

THAI days and months and years ny by

Is but a brief, death-ending march along
life's old and footworn pave.
Do unto others as you'd have them do to
And you, the weak one jostled by the ever
restless human throng.
And scatter smiles n CHEEKY words as

And every smile will flash again as Jewels

The European mails and passengers al
ready go from London to eastern Asia by
way Of Canada, because IT is shorter and
there is a saving of ten days In time. The
limits imposed on cheap freight traffic
from Europe to Asia are: TIL tolls through
the Suez canal, the size of ships that can
pass the Suez canal, the cost of coaling
along the route and the distance.
Tolls may be abolished, but this is not
likely. It will take years to deepen the
canal even II this project should be advo-
Gated. The cost Of coal along the route,
as we'll as the distance, will always be q
serious drawback. There is abundant and
cheap coal in Great Britain, on the At
lantic seaboard, on Puget Sound and all
along the line of the northern roads, and
there are an unlimited number of empty
freight cars westbound. By building the
largest ships in the world, even though
they run under the most expensive Amer
lean register, by filling the westbound cars
at a rate a little more than the cost OF hand
ling. Mr.. Hill knows that he can turn the
export trade with western Asia from its
sOO-year-old way past India to the direct
Pacific sea route past Alaska.

CASE IN POINT.

A sample brick Of uniformity in rail-
read taxation has just beeh fabricated
by II Nebraska district judge in a very
unique opinion. 1t appears that the
Kansas City a. Omaha Railroad COM
pany some years ago gave n permit, or
lease TO an elevator company to erect
elevators ON the right OF way at two of
its stations in Adams county. The ele-
vators were assessed for purposes Of
taxation by the township assessors, but
the claim was made that this was
double taxation on the plea that the
railroad right of way was assessed by
the state board. The railroad company
paid the taxes levied on the elevators
under protest and brought suit against
the treasurer of Adams county for the
when the elevators were erected the
foundations were made of brick and
stone, hence were a part of the rail-
road right of way and could not be as
sessed as chattels. This position was
upheld by the learned judge looking
through railroad spectacles and the
county treasurer has been ordered to
pay over the amount of taxes levied to
the railroad company,
This decision is on a par with the rul-
ing Of the federal judge who recently
decided that the east half of the Union
Pacific bridge was not taxable for mu-
nicipal purposes in Council Bluffs be-
cause it did not enjoy the. benefits of
police and water works protection. If
elevators erected upon the right Of way
of a railroad, owned by private individ-
uals or corporations, are exempt from
taxation, n factory, a mill or a store
house erected on the right Of a of a
railroad would also be exempt from
taxes, always providing that the under
pinning of the structures was of brick
and stone instead Of timber.
The sophistry of the latter proposition
Is transparent, but it is about on a par
with all the arguments recently ad-
vanced by the railroad tax bureaus
and corporation lobbyists. In the first
place, elevators are not included among
the fixtures appertaining to a railroad
or necessary to the operation Of a rail-
road. They are never returned to the
state board among the rolling stock.
depots and other tangible improvements
on the right of way and are not even
returned as property of the road, and
therefore their assessment would not be
double taxation.
In the next place, the law does not
contemplate the omission from the tax
list Of improvements erected on the
right Of way, or depot grounds leased
for private speculation. If such dis
elimination were permissible under the
law, the Omaha Smelling works, which
stand upon Union Pacific grounds, now
assessed for three-quarters Of a million,
would be exempt from taxation, and
warehouses, elevators and coal yards
established within the railroad right OF
way could claim exemption from taxa.

Innuencss- that Debauch.

- tANS
Fully 80 per cent of all that is dis
honest. all that Is corrupt and all that is
menacing to free institutions in municipal
n state government can be traced d.
rectly to the influence OF these quasi
public corporations upon local politics.
They not only debauch city and state gov
ernments. but 1t is their consistent policy
to maintain these governments in a state
Of prostitution-their influence is cast hab-
itually against all decency and efficiency
and integrity in public affairs. The SEN
timent in favor of municipal ownership is
grounded almost wholly in the belief that
the people have no other means Of pro-
tecting themselves against the rapacity
and criminal greed of quasi public cor
porations. They are not flying to municipal
ownership, but are being driven to 1t
as a last desperate measure.
