Regulation Of Their Business.
LINCOLN-The Omaha Elevator
company filed its brief in the grain
case and 1t contains considerable
legislative information, and at the
same time attempts to declare uncon'
stitutional all laws enacted by the leg.
islatures of years past affecting grain
grain dealers, together with the repeal
OF the 1887 act by implication by the
1905 act, under which it holds, there.
fore the action is brought Discuss
ing the laws passed up to the 1905 law
the attorneys say in their brief:
"The law of 1889 is invalid for the
reason that the bill as introduced and
as voted upon, as shown by the title,
applied only to manufacturers It Is
true that a bill with title affecting
manufacturers and dealers was en-.
crossed and signed, but the title to
the bill when voted upon did not have
the and dealers in it.
"The act Of 1898 does not purport
to affect grain men.
1.-THE first act of 1897 Is invalid for
the reason that the bill as engrossed
and signed was never voted upon. The
title Of the act engrossed and signed
affected trade and business But the
bill as introduced and voted upon did
not contain the words and business
In the title. This is a very material
alteration, as business refers to in.
surance companies, professions, and
probably hundred occupations not
embraced by the erm of trade
The second act of 1897 is invalid.
A bill was introduced under title "a
bill for an act to prohibit combina-
tons among grain elevator men, and
to provide penalty therefor This
we will call the short title bill The
committee to which it was referred at
tempted to substitute for it a bill with
title as long as the moral law the
latter beng in every sense different
bill. The result was that the short
titled bill was voted upon, but the
long title bill was engrossed and sign
ed, and hence neither became a law.
"This leaves for consideration only
the act Of 1887, and the act of 1905.
And the question is, which one of them
governs the case? l confess the mat
ter is not free from doubt will also
say that in behalf of my clients do
not know that l care which one Is the
one. But while admitting there is a
doubt, I insist the correct rule to ap-
ply will be to hold the former law is
repealed by implication"
The brief contends that the 1887
law is general law and was repealed
by implication by the 1905 act There
fore the case must come to trial under
the 1905 act, and that acts committed
prior to the passage of that law can
not be considered and an injunction in
this case will not lie.

On y Needs L vs Governor

The cutting in two of the press cable rates to and from Alaska is an indica- tion that the United States government has st last awakened to the necessity of fostering and encouraging that district. With a governor representative of Alaska as it is today and not as it was twenty years ago, governor whose mind could encompass beyond 8 few salmon scented siwaShes, the future
 utloOk for the district would now be
 indeed hattsring. There is very little in common between the ideas of gov ernor of the rapidly growing district and the duties of missionary to the in- dians. Brady should have the latter while some live man, member of the
 resent generation, should be governor. -Whitehorse Star.

The Growing of Asparagus.

1t is possible to get bed started
by dividing the roots, but this is not
a very satisfactory or successful way,
and requires considerable experience.
The only practical way on the farm
is to grow it from the seed. This can
be sown either in the spring or fall.
Be particular to get bright, smooth
seed not more than year old. Older
seed loses it's black color and can be
detected by it's grayish color and
rather wrinkled appearance. 1t is too
late to start bed this summer, al
though it might be worth while to
experiment with a small bed If soWn
at once.
Make the seed bed very carefully
with the ground in fine filth, well
MANFRED Sow the seed in drills fiji
teen to twenty inches apart, dropping
the seeds from two to four inches
apart in the drill and covering about
an inch deep. Asparagus seeds germ
mate very slowly and you will not
see much of it before a month or six
weeks. Keep the ground cultivated
and in a fine state of filth.
