Ours was a sweeping victory in the
last Observation-Disclosures Crabbe.
Sure enough That campaign gave
us the Solid Thirteen which took their
orders from Home Rule headquarters
and disgraced Republicanism by almost
every vote. 1t gave us men who burnt
those vouchers. But IT wouldn't have
burdened the Territory with such a
Legislative ticket IL the primary rules
had been Republican. These rules are
still in force and the first men named
as aspiring to county Office with their
aid, are Off the same cut as their legis-
Iative predecessors. It's fine outlook
for the taxpayers.

announcement is made that Mexican

the civil governor might fix by proc

l. 1904, when Mexican dollars shall
cease to be receivable for public du-

MINNESOTA'S CASE
Brief Merger Suit Filed in
U. S. Supreme Court
Contends Among Other Things That
Defendant Was Born for Evasion of
the Laws Of Plaintiff.

Washington, Dec. 22.--The brief of
that state against the Northern Sc
curities company was filed in the su-
preme court of the United States to-
day by Attorney General Douglas and
Messrs. Mum and Wilson
They contend that the merger of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
companies into the Northern Securities
company was for the purpose of set
Ting competition.
After stating that the action was
brought to enjcin the consolidation of
the two railroad companies because
they are parallel and competing lines
within the state OF Minnesota and that
the circuit court of the United States
for the Eighth circuit decided the case
contrary to the contention of the state.
the attorneys present their assignment
Of errors on the part of the circuit
court.
There are twenty-nine of these as
signments but tke principal ones are
that the decree is erroneous in holding
that the Northern Securities company
was not organized for the purpose of
the consolidation OF the two appellee
railroad companies; in holding that the
! owners of stock of the two railway
companies by the Northern Securities
company does not amount to a cOnsoli-
dation within the meaning Of the acts
set forth in appellants bill; in holding
that the Northern Securities company
does not i'm fact control the two rail-
way companies by virtue of it's owner
ship of the stock of such railway COM
I
Northern Securities company was in
tended by it's incorporators to be and
| is a device for evading the laws of the
state.
! In the course of relating the facts of
| the consolidation of the two roads ref
! erence is made to the joint circular let
! ter of the freight agents Of the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern roads
on Jan. %. 1902 and it is declared that
! the effect of this circular letter was
to withdraw all competition for bust
ness between the railroads within the
state CT Minnesota and to compel the
/ shipper 20 ship freight via the road
having the shorter route, or else pay to
the road having the longer route u
! greater freight rate, land not only
/ they say was all competition, SO far
as rates were concerned withdrawn or
| destroyed, but all effort to secure bus
mess and all benefits resulting there
| from to shippers on the line of said
railroads within the state OF Mime
Scta, were absolutely destroyed"
In their argument on the facts in
the case counsel contend that the two
lines are both parallel and competing
and that the Northern Securities com
many was organized solely for the pur-
pose of consolidating and unifying the
control of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads and as a
means of evading the 10 VS. of the
state of Minnesota prohibiting such
consolidation.

ABUSE TO BE REMFDIED
The Practice of Throwing American
Railroad Men Into Mexican JailS-

Washington. Dec. 22.-Complaints
having reached the state department
from many sources during the past
few years that American citizens em-
ployed in various capacities on the
railroads of Mexico frequently had
been arrested and imprisoned i'm that
republic on the charge of criminal
negligence in railway wrecks. homi-
cides, etc, and had been held for long
periods without trial, the United
States ambassador to Mexico was di-
rected by Secretary HAY to examine
into these cases and bring the subject
to the attention of the Mexican gov
ernment with a view to ameliorating
conditions which appeared to exist.
AS a consequence of Mr. Clayton's
representations to the Mexican foreign
Office an important circular letter has
been issued by the Mexican depart
ment of justice and sent to the district
and circuit courts throughout that re-
public advising against the arrest and
Imprisonment of such railway EN-
plOyes except on strong presumption
of guilt and directing them in all
cases to expedite judicial proceedings
as rapidly as possible. The provision
for the release OF the accused on bail
also is made wherever the nature OF
| the onense will permit it.
Ambassador Clayton mas reported 20
the department of state that of forty
three cases of American railway men
arrested since June, 1901. thirty eight
have been disposed of and in three OF
/ the remaining five the men who were
released on bail fled to the United
States. In two instances only are
proceedings still pending.
