ing the low price of lead aud the
laying off of men employed
in the lead mines in St. Francois
county as the theme for an argu-
ment against the protective tariff.
We note that which ever way the
cat jumps it supplies the Demo
Gratis with material for denouncing
the tariff. When the price Of lead
was climbing up recently to heights
not attained for many years, the
tarifites had it thrown at them
that the duty on lead fostered
trust which was pushing up prices
to rob the consumer. Now that
lead is On the decline, we are
gravely informed that the tariff
has no effectiveness in sustaining
the price, and might as we'll be

Judge Parker thinks the Feder-
al Government is despoiling the
States of their powers and fnnc-
tions-which sounds alarmingly
nefarious. But, it citizens of the
United States residing in New
York, Ohio, Indiana and Kansas
continue to demand Federal con-
troll of railroads, it seems self-evi-
dent that those States will be more
or less despoiled in that respect.
No Federal policy can persist un-
less the people approve it. The
same people who are despoiled in
their capacity of State citizens are
correspondingIy aggrandized in
their capacity of Federal citizens.
We never knew man to get much
excited over the danger of robbinc

Anyone who has followed the
governments efforts to check the
trusts by legal procedure closely,
cannot but feel that little Roadway
has been made against the great
monopolies. Not that the govern
ment has ehown an unwillingaess
to enforce the law or a lassitude in
applying it, but for the reason that
the legal machinery seems impo-
tent against the great power Of
concentrated wealth. 1t is now
some time since the initial cases
brought by the government against
the beef combine were terminated
with judgment against the defend
ants. So far as can be noted these
judgments have bad no effect what
ever in checking the course Of
this great combine, it is carrying
on its operations precisely as it did
before the federal court issued it's
edict against it. Take further the
proceedings instituted against the
Standard Oil Co., they have
brought the affairs of that great
trust into some notoriety, but that
is all. The fine of 500, ZOO, 600
levied upon it by Judge Landis is
unpaid and will never be paid as
long as a legal subterfuge can be
presented. and the oil trusts legal
force is prolific in such eyasions.
Meanwhile the oil monopoly is un'
disturbed and continues, like the
beef combine, plucking the mil
lions out of the pockets of the
consumers. We do not hold tht
government at fault in this, il
seems to be doing all it can with
the measures ut hand; we cannot
expect the monopolies to relin
quish their grasp upon the public
voluntarily, for selfish human be
ings direct their conduct; the faol,
lies with the people themselves
who are tho law making power o1
the country. Modern commercial
lem is SO hedged in by q web OF
law span for its own protection by

this line, it is expected, will be repaired
this afternoon. The Coast line of the
Southern Pacific is open and trains are
running with but slight delay,
The Salt Lake Route, which only
Monday announced the resumption of

rious difficulty and all trains are
stopped. Yesterday twenty landslides
IN Calon pass completely tied up traf-
fic at this end. Today this was cleared
up and six delayed trains were brought
TO this city, Some of these trains
which had started East, but were re-
turned when General Manager Wells
telegraphed from Elgin that the tracks
were under two feet of water there,
and that more damage has occurred in
the Meadow Valley wash. The latter
is the scene OF the company greatest

Judge Thurman said in part; 1'Tho
salient points have not been made to
conform TO any theory Of tho prosecu
tion upon which it has the right TO
claim that the defendant be held TO
answer. Tbere is no difference between
the attorneys on both sides as TO promo
sitions OF law. He wanted TO call an.
tention to two questions. however Be-
fore you can bind this defendant over
on the evidence before YOU YOU must
find not beyond reasonable doubt
that he is guilty. but you must have
probable cause to believe 1T. The Of

the defendant committed it, YOU should
bnd probable cause TO believe that he
did
Judge Hilton has not seen fit to
make an argument on this occasion. II
may be because he thinks it is trivial:
IT may be that he thinks his relation
to the case is of such nature that il
would be better if he let the regular
