or subjects of any foreign state" Mr..
Young insists that, as attorney gener-
al, charged with enforcement of the
states laws, the action is in effect one
against the state of Minnesota. Coun-
sci for the plaintiffs contend that a
suit against state official is not a
suit against state.
If the contention of the plaintiffs
lawers is correct then article XI be-
comes a nullity in every case where a
states laws affect the interests of non
residents, and the prohibition of the
constitution may be nullified by sim
ply bringing suit in federal court to
restrain the states officials from en-
forcing the law. To say that state is
not party when its law is attacked
through its law officer is, to the lay
mind, the merest legal quibble, says
the Sioux City Tribune.

APPLYING THE LAW.

So many of the large monopolies of
the country are now receiving the at
tentions of the prosecuting officers of
the federal government that the cam
paign against trusts has assumed a
magnitude of interesting dimensions.
Against the tobacco combine the de-
partment of justice has filed apetition
in the federal circuit court in New
York asking that the combination be
dissolved. The attorney general has
taken personal charge of preparations
for an action against the harvester
trust. A federal grand jury at Chicago
has brought an indictment against the
Atchison, Topeka a. Santa Fe Rail
road company charging the railroad
company with granting rebates to the
amount of $4,000. The interstate com
merce commission has made report
on the Hartman cases and the presi-
dent is considering the report.
The tobacco case is directed against
65 subsidiary companies that form the
trust and against % individuals iden.

MAY BE LAW, BUT NOT JUSTICE.

BY recent decision of the supreme
court relative to threshers' liens, the
threshers are given the long end of
the matter, The case referred to is
that of w. j. Hahn VS.. the Sleepy
Eye Milling Co., ct al. Hahn per
formed threshing services for one
Bebo. The owner of the grain haul
ed his crop to market and sold it i'm
mediately. Hahn within ten days
from the time he finished threshing,
but after the grain had been sold, fill
ed a lien upon said grain. BY the
decision of the court the lien holds
and the elevotors purchasing the grain
must pay the thresh BILL The court
upholds the contention of the plain
tiff that that the defendants bought
the grain with full notice and knowl-
edge, both actual and constructive"
of the said threshers' lien. In other
words, the supreme court holds that
every purchaser of grain is charged
with full and actual knowledge Of a
lien upon grain at any time during
ten days after the completion of the
job of threshing, The only safety
for the purchasers of grain is to com
pei every man offering grain for sale
to show release or a receipt trom
the thresher, or to produce evidence
that the grain has been threshed more
than ten days.
There is not one case out of a hum
dred where the farmer hauls grain
direct from the machine to the eleya-
tor that is not known to the thresher.

THE JULY CROP REPORT.

The July lst crop report of the gov
ernment, the most important of the
growing season, has been issued.
The average condition of winter
wheat is 1873 compared with S5.6 a
year ago and l0-year average of S0.4
The average condition of spring wheat
was S72 compared with Ola year
ago and ten year average of So. The
average condition of spring and win
ter wheat combined was SIG, compar-
ed with S7.S a year ago.
The condition of spring wheat in
Sonth Dakota on the lst of July was
represented by SO, while last year it
was 81 and for 10 years SO. In North
Dakota the average was SO, in Mime
sofa S5 and in Iowa 80 on the first of
the current month. Last year North

tilted with the several companies. The
petition of the government asks that
the agreements under which the con
solidated concerns are working be
broken up and the trust dissolved.
After the pending action is disposed
of, criminal prosecution of some of
the defendants is probable.
1t is shown by the record that the
tobacco trust controls so per cent of
the business in smoking and plug to-
bacco, 81 per cent ia snuff, S0per cent
in cigarettes, rs per cent in small Gig
ars, 95 per cent in licorice products,
so per cent in tin foil products and 10
per cent in stogies.
The combination has been in exist
ence since 1890, though it is now much
stronger than when first organized. 1t
is the most merciless of all the trusts,
holding dealers under tyrannical re-
strictions and fixing the price on all
the tobacco products in the market. 1t
ought not to be difficult to win the
case against the tobacco trust, as thou
sands of dealers the country over can
produce evidence of its methods.
Against the harvester trust civil
suit will be instituted asking for its
dissolution and the attorney general
contemplates motion for theappoint-
ment of receiver, that the business
of the component parts of the combine
may be returned to their original own
ers and competition restored in the
farm implement business. The attor-
ney general is said to be in possession
of evidence that proves conspicuous
violations of the antitrust act of con-
gress on the part of the international
Harvester company.
In the case of the Atchison, Topeka
q Santa Fe Railroad company, an in
dictment has been found that contains
65 counts, each one charging violation
of the law in granting rebates to the
United States Sugar q Land company,
of Garden City, Kansas. If convicted,
the company will be liable to fines
ranging from S65,OO0 to 100000 in
the aggregate, as the court may deter

merce commission are divided in opin-

Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa gave
higher averages than South Dakota.
For the United States, the condi
ton of corn on the lst of the month
was S0.2, compared with 87.5 year
ago and a 10 year average of 85.9.
South Dakota corn is rated at ~ and
last year it was 81 and the 10-year
average is 81. Minnesota corn was
rated at 10 and Iowa corn at 78, the
ten year average of each being 81 and
88.
The government report promises a
total wheat yield in all of the United
states of 625,000,000 bushels, which is
about the average for 10 years, though
the figures are lOOOOO0O0 bushels be-
low the yield of last year

A LEGAL QUiBBLE.

In the dummy stockholder suits
brought in st Paul torestrain enforce
ment Of the state law relating to
freight rates and passenger fares, AT
torney General Young moved to dis
miss the complaints as to himself and
the state railroad commission on the
ground that the plaintiffs, residents of
other states, are bringing an action
against the state of Minnesota, Judge
Lochren held that the objection should
be taken by demurrer or by answer
and denied the motion.
The attorney general makes very
nice point. Among the first amend
ments of the constitution is article XI
providing that the judicial power OF
the United States shall not be con
strued to extend to any suit in law OF
equity commenced or prosecuted
against one of the United States by
citizens of another state or by citizens

done without filing his lien, or giving
notice TO the elevators that lien will
be filed should, in all justice, bar him
from the right to file lien. In the
case mentioned the thresher deliber
ately allowed the farmer to dispose Of
the crop that was his security for his
thresh bill to innocent parties 1t
opens the way for all kinds of fraud
on the part of those disposed to be
dishonest.
Under the ruling it would be
possible for a thresher indebted to a
farmer to go on and thresh his grain,
refuse to accept the counter-claim of
the farmer and collect from the eleva-
tor companies, if the farmer market
ed any grain during the ten days
after the completion of the job of
threshing.
The elevators are just as much of
a necessity to the grain raiser who
has grain to sell as are threshing ma
chimes, and they should have as much
protection. The recent decision may
be correct Interpretation Of the stat
ute, but it is long way from being
justice, or the original intent of the
law which was to protect threshers
against an attempt to defraud him of
his just dues, but not to allow him to
deliberately work an injustice to some
other party.

that Hartman cannot be convicted

THE record of the tobacco trust in
forcing down the prices paid for leaf,
is typical of the consequences that
may be expected to follow the nurtur-
ing of ''infant industries" into giant
monopolies by the trusts. 1t is just
as good "business" to buy low as to
sell high and every industry made a
monopoly through the assistance of
protective tariffs may be relied on to
squeeze the sellers to the utmost of
its ability. Sioux City Tribune.
