ARGUMENTS A|k H)3M.
Case II State q lliaaseota Agains,
Northern Securities Company
Opened at st. Paul.
the eaeunls FOR the STATES CASE.


2l. fAul, Mluu.s juno Os---SAI& uMCutS
were begun Friday before United
States Judge Lochren in the case Of
the state of Minnesota against the
the Northern Securities company and
the roads whose control is merged in
the New Jersey corporation in the
United States circuit court at the Fed
eral building in this city.
The arguments are based upon prac-
tically the same testimony in most re-
spects as thatin the case against the
merger by the federalgoyernment.-
The states case, however, is on en-
tirely different grounds. The federal
case alleged violation of the federal
Sherman antitrust law. The states
case is brought under provision OF
the Minnesota constitution which spe-
officially prohibits the consolidation of
parallel and competing lines OF rail-
way.
The argumentsmay last two or three
days. Attorney General Douglas
opened the states case and will be fol-
lowed by George P. Wilson. The de-
tense will then be heard. Attorney
George L. Young, NJ. ID. Groves and G.
w. Bum will present the side of the
Northern Securities companies, and
the Great Northern and. the Northern
Pacific roads. NJ. d. Mum will then
close for the state.
The states Case.
The states case rests on two stat
utes enacted by the legislature in 1874,
1881 and 1899, respectively, prohibiting
the consolidation in any manner OF
competing and parallel lines of rail-
way and also prohibiting reformation
of any commission which is in re-
straint of trade or commerce between
this and any other state. In the open
ing by Attorney General Douglas the
action was described as suit in equity
to restrain the Northern Securities
company from holding stock in either
the Northern Pacific or Great North
ern railway, and to prevent each OF
these roads recognizing the Northern
Securities company in any way in the
management of their lines. The COM
plant charged that the state owned
5000, 900 acres of land and various in
stitutions located on the right OF way
of the two railways and therefore the
state had special interest in preserv.
ing competition between the two car
riers.
Based on the necessities of the case,
the state brought the action in Its SOW.
ereign capacity for the sake of pre-
venting litigation for its'citizens which
might arise by violations of its law by
I the two railroads concerned. The ac-
ton was brought under an act pre-
venting combination in restraint OF
trade, and. under two other acts for
bidding the consolidation Of parallel
competing railroads.

Some Stories of Parnell.

II. p. O'Conior, in his M. A. P. of
November 9TH. referring to President
Roosevelt's habit of carrying a pistol,
says: ut reminds me OF the strange
feeling ] had one night, when, hap
pcning to occupy the same room in
a crowded country hotel with Parncll,
| saw him take revolver out of his
trousers pocket. 1t first made me
realize what sense Parncll had OF
the danger through which he was
hourly passing, and OF his grim re-
solve that nobody should take his life
without having TO fight for ii"
A correspondent writes to the same
paper about its allusion in previous
number TO the color Of Parncll's eyes.
Many years ago yo,ng girl passed
man on the staircase Of the Railway
Hotel, Wcstport. Ireland There was
tragedy written all over him. SO un-
common were the mans eyes that
they made clear to the girl phrase in
Shakespeare she had never before I'M
dcrstood: Eyes like carbunclcs."
The girl joined her friends, and said:
Il have seen man with eyes the
color Of sol1. mounted carbunc1c."
The late Captain Boycott. who was
~nc oi the party. said: "rhcn you
have seen Parncil. for he is the only
nan J know with eyes that answer to
that, and ii is not likely to be he, for
il he were in this ncighborhood he
would be at Newport House" The
party Travelled to Dublin by the even
ing's mail train. At Mullingar. Par
nell got into the same carriage, and
sat opposite the writer, who wrote on
the margin OF the paper she was read
ing: "'Thc man | saw in the hotel"
and passed it to Captain Boycott, who
returned it with the added words: "It
is Parncll."
From little past Mullingar to May
nootl. Parncll sat with closed eyes,
never moving. scarcely seeming to
breathe Even with eyes. closed, he
held one spcll-bOund with the rare
beauty of their setting, and the curl
Gus red spot at the inner corner Of
each eye, which actors and actresses
make with a red lining pencil. At
Maynooth Parncll opened the window
wide, and leaned out for many seconds
bareheaded. He shut the window, and
with deep sigl, again closed his eyes.
At Wcstland Road station he walked
away like wrath Later, when it
seemed as though all the world had
thrown stsncs at him, those wondrons
eyes came to ones minds eye, and
pity--pity rcigrcd supreme. A short
time before Captain Boycott's death,
he was talking OF Ireland and of the
night when we travelled with Parnell.
He ended the conversation with those
words: "rhcy were glorious days,
Ireland, or Gladstone, beggarcd me,
but by -. it's the only country
worth living in after all.

encc and ability tt take care OF him
self and his party in any partisan
debates that may arise. His mind
works quickly, he purposes to be ever
watcllul, and those who have measur-
cl lanccs will, him know that he is no
slouch i'll discussing the welfare OF the
nation.
A talk with Mr. Williams impresses
the interviewer with the fact that If he
has the support Of his. party he does
not propose to engage in filbustcring
to the extent OF wasting the time OF
the House. His policy will be signal
ly different from that of some of his
predecessors.
He purposes, however, to put the
Republican party on record at every
stage, SO that the country may know
what is actually being done in the
popular part OF Congress- This he be-
lievcs can be done speedily and in Or
der without a resort to tactics that
prevailed in former Congresses, when
the rules were more lax and permitted
filibusterilg to degree nothing short
Of ridiculous.
In making his recommendations for
minority assignments on the commit
tees Mr.. Williams has, SO far as he
could, looked out ior Democrats from
New England the middle states, the
central west, the northwest and the
Pacific slope His idea has been that
so long as he did not offend southern
Democrats old in service. it was good
policy from party standpoint to place
the new Democratic members where
they can make records calculated to
! help themselves and other Democrats
in the next national election. The
South is pretty safe for the Democrats
anyway, according to his view.
Mr.. Williams sto,tly contends that
the Republican lea lers in Congress arc
not consistent In his opinion, they
haven't been for the past six years.
He says they change front very often
OH important questions.
1t will be his aim, he intimates, to
keep close watch on that party dur
ing the winter session. He proposes
to put the Republicans strictly on
record, in the hope that his own party
may make considerable political capi
tai.
Mr.. Williams is not so radical low
tariff man as he has been reported to
be. If his party were to capture con-
troll of the next House and he was to
be elected speaker, it is doubtful if he
! would agree to proposition placing
coal, wool, lumber and iron ore on
the free list, as provided in the Wilson
bill when it passed the House in 1894.
But Mr.. Williams, had he the power.
would not consent to so high duty
as exists at present on these articles.
All his expressions indicate that he
is firm believer in revenue tariff
only, and he favors liberal internal i'm
provcmcnts in aid Of American COM
merce

here this winter, but has quarters at

iii legislation at Washington, and Pat
rick Henry, who, although compara-
lively new member. was a man OF
sufficient strength to make him dan
gerous rival 1t seemed as III the
change was aimed especially at Will
liams.
Williams chances to get back to
the House seemed pretty blue Down
in Mississippi candidates go before the
people and discuss the issues, and a
general primary is held The candi-
date who comes out ahead at the pri-
mary is the nominee OF the Democratic
party. The election is foregone con-
c1usion, and as Williams easily clean
ed up his rivals he had no Republican
opponent at the polls, and only 1,-l33
votes were cast.
Mississippi has no prominent man
in the House now other than Will
liams. Speaker Cannon thinks a great
deal of him. They not only are fond
of each other personally, but Uncle
Joe Cannon looks upon Williams as
all exceptionally able man. When in
conversation with Mr. Williams, Mr..
Cannon invariably addresses him as
"Slarp," never calling him "John" or
"Williams."
Cen Charles H. Grosvenor, OF Ohio,
one of the veteran Republican legs-
lators, expressed the opinion the other
day that Williams is without question
the best equipped man on the floor for
Democratic leader.
''I predict that he will be a great
success in drawing party lines re-
marked Gen. Grosvenor "The Demo
Gratis we're surely in need Of sucl, a
{ man, for it is we'll known that in re-
cent years they have been hard to
/! handle"
Mr. Williams, on the other hand,
holds the opinion that Gen. Gros-
venor is without doubt the greatest
combination OF partisanship and geni-
atty that he has encountered since
coming to Congress.
"And he is hard man to meet in
rough and tumble debate" Mr.. Will
| liams said.
In the formation OF important COM
mittees never before has a minority
leader had such latitude as has been
allowed Mr.. Williams by Speaker
Cannon. Mr.. Williams and his Demo
cratic associates are to agree on the
principal assignments, and as far as
possible the speaker will accept the
recommendation they make.
Mr.. Williams does not pretend to be
a good parliamentarian. On the con-
trary, he has before and since his
selection as the minority leader can
didly admitted that he is lacking in
this capacity.
But Judge De Almond, OF Missouri,
is acknowledged to be shrewd, care
full and able parliamentaridn. That is
why at the request Of Mr.. Williams he
was appointed by Speaker Cannon a
member OF the rules committee.
Throughout the Congress, and espec-
tally during the session preceding the
presidential election, Judge De Ar
mond will virtually be at the elbow OF
the minority leader
1t is conceded on all sides that Mr..
Williams is amply fortified by expert

to sit up late at night, when his duties
will permit, to crack jokes with bright
men OF both parties in public life.
When he thinks it is time to break up
and go to bed this is what he SAYS,
and no one can get another word out
of him that night:

Der to be good"

He gives it as his own opinion that
the present low price can be attri-
buted to the surplus held over from

fact that small sales for the manu-

upon the number Of other priorities
existing throughout the district.
the point at which the water must
be applied, and thousand and one
other things.
Such considerations indicate how
vltally important it is, if a District
be organized on the understanding
that priorities are to be recognized
within it, to establish by judicial
decree the exact status of water
rights before organization. Certain
ly' people would not want to become
members of an organization which
may exercise control of their rights,
without first having those rights
carefully defined and recognized; :;
for, and taking the mildest phase
OF it, those claiming priorities can
not establish them until their alleg.
ed rights are invaded and they new
er will be invaded except by the
deliberate act Of the officers of the
District, prepared to maintain the
invasion in the courts, and then
the people seeking to establish
rights will find that they will be
taxed to pay the cost of destroying
the rights they are trying to estab-
1ish.
The great essential to successful
District operation is that harmony,
growing out of Identical interests,
which makes for unity of effort.

Every member of a District should
be a member in Consequence of his
own intelligent election. None
should be dragged in by the heels,
and, especially, should none be per-
suaded by Misrepresentation. Even
after ample opportunity has been
given everybody to fully and fairly
understand, after everything max
ing for justice and fairness has been
done, there will develop prolific
crop of kickers and grumblers and
knockers. Hence the imperative
need of leaving no reasonable
ground for dissatisfaction. There
is ample justification in common
sense and sound business principles
tor District organization. There is
no occasion for subterfuge or con-
cealment. The obstacles to be
overcome need not be slurred or
minimized. Puteverything square
ly before the people just as it is and
let them decide as seems to them
good. Starting off right is half
the battle, and bear in mind, it is a
long battle; for, learning to manage
an irrigation system on the District
plan, (the only correct plan), is in
itself a liberal education, which is
bonnd to develop community of
intelligent, broad guage, capable
and self-reliant farmers, and that is
a consummation, devoutly to be
W ished for.
