THE CONTEST In MISSOURI.


Lincoln, Neb., March 18.-Bryan's
Commoner yesterday contained the
following comment upon the demo-
cratic governorship contest in Mis-
souri,:
1.-THE reports that come from Mis-
souri, indicate that the friends Of some
of the gubernatorial candidates are
more interested In securing the nomi-
nation of their choice than they are
in advancing the welfare of the party.
1t looks to the outsider as If personal
tiles were entering too much into the
controversy. When partisans carry
their championship Of candidate to
the point of unfairness in conventions
or fraud in primaries they deserve a
rebuke from the candidate himself.
"There are a great many good DEM
ocrats in Missouri-so many that no
one of them can delude himself with
the belief that his nomination is SO
Important as to Justify the employment
Of illegitimate methods to secure 1t.
There is no better brand of democracy
than the Missouri brand, and members
of the party should see to it that the
state convention does not countenance
ward tactics"

An Old Soldier Thinks He Ought to BE

Topeka, Kan, March 1S.-The troll
bles of officers Of cities and counties

pointing assistants have begun to in
crease, as a result Of the decision OF
the supreme court sustaining the valid
lty of the old soldier preference law.
The attorney general was asked yes
terday to untangle a snarl In the mu-
nicipal affairs Of Belleville. growing
out of the decision. A short time ago
Mayor Wells, Of Belleville, appointed
John Mccullough city assessor. Nc
Cullough is not an old soldier and /.
0. Savage, an old soldier, was an APP
plicant for the place. Since the de-
cision was rendered by the supreme
court, Mr.. Savage believes he is en-
titled to the position and says he will
bring action to get It. He says also
that all official acts Of the present as
SCISSOR will be held invalid by the
courts.

THE PACKING TRUST.
The Department Of Commerce to In.
vestigate the Alleged Combine.
KNOX WILL PASS on The REPORT.
Mr.. Martin. Author Of the Reseiudon MalD
ing Inauiry Into the Dinsrence Between
Prices Of Cattle and Dressed Beef.
in posssssion Of Certain Facts.

Washington, March 19.-Investiga
ton of the alleged packing house COM
bine has already been begun by the de-
partment of commerce and labor. This
is the answer Of the administration
to the democratic assertion that trust
inquiries have stopped and a political
campaign has begun. Under the terms
of the Martin resolution making in-
uuiry into the reasons for the wide
difference between the prices Of cattle
and dressed beef, the result Of the In
yestigation Of the department OF COM
merce and labor will be submittd to
the president. Before introducing his
resolution Mr.. Martin had long con-
ferences with Secretary Cortelyou,
Secretary Wilson and James Garfield,
head of the bureau Of corporations,
who will be directly in charge OF the
inquiry.
The statement Of Mr.. Knox, the at
torney general, that the administration
will not run amuck among the cor
porations" has been very widely dis
cussed and very generally criticised
by democratic newspapers and con-
gressmen, but It expresses in forcible
manner the exact determination OF
the administration. The attorney gen.
eral will himself pass on the reports
which are submitted to the president.
The facts will have to be determined
and It is not the intention OF the ad-
ministration to disturb business by
general onslaught based on assertion.
Before anything will be attempted In a
legal way regarding the packing
houses the government would have
to be convinced that an understanding
or agreement which violated the Sher-
man law was in operation between the
big packing houses.
Mr.. Martin. author Of the resolution,
is in possession Of the facts which
convince him there is an understanding
which violates the law. But no one
has possession Of facts at this time
which would prove the contention In
the courts and there is no admipistra-
ton intention Of instituting proceed
lngs which will fail.
Sufficient facts have been collated
which indicate that an agreement
among packers has placed an unrea-
sonable charge to the consumers OF
dressed meats. Before these facts can
be established agents Of the depart
ment must visit Kansas City, Chicago,
Omaha, Neb., and st. Joseph, Mo.
These agents will begin work next
week. The government has not begun
an inquiry on the theory that the
packing houses are guilty, nor will 1t
disturb facts to prove the contention,
but before It has concluded the investi-
CATION will lay before the attorney
general the exact status OF the packing
house industry and the Interpretation
of the law as II pertains to the In
dustry will be for the department Of
Justice.
