It would seem that the Kuropeau pow
ers are completely disconcerted by the
attitude of the Turkish government. The
farce of the ambassadors at Constanti
nople sending notes to tlie sultan onl.v
to receive evasive replies lias been sup
plemented by communications to the
head of the Turkish empire from the
rulers of the powers in the conceit , all
of which advl.se the sultan to submit
to the terms which have been prescribed.
Whether these communications , with
their sovereign authority , will have any
more weight than the notes of the am
bassadors , it is impossible to say , bill
the chances are that the Turkish govern
ment will not be greatly moved by them ,
for it is perfectly well aware of the fact
that they do not nec ssaiily imply
united ai.-lUm of thu powers to compel
accpileseiu-e in their demands.
It appears evident that Turkey stands
in no dread of ( lie powers , connllim upon
their muii'ul fears
and jealousies to Hi-e
vent any coercive action on their part
and meanwhile strengthening her.-elf for
any possible emergency. For hapless
ami helpless little Or-ece ( lie situation
is a cruel one. She is in suspense , con
fronted by the possibility of a resump
tion of the war at any time and with
her business of all kinds suffering and
the country glowing daily poorer. Sin-
is in tlie position of an abject suppliant
at the feet of her conqueror and tin ; pow
ers that should K'.VC her protection.

It Is said that the reciprocity pro
vision of the new tariff bill adopted by
tlii > sciiatti is not
acceptable in tlr >
house members of Ihe conference coin
udttei > and that the president has been
appealed 1 < > for suirgcslions In the mat
ter. It is also reported that Mr. Me-
ICinley is not quite satisfied with the
senate provision and has recommended
n liberal policy in regard to reciprocity.
If these statements be true they sim
ply Illustrate more forcibly Ihe dilliciilu
of formulating1 a reciprocity provision
which will be satisfactory- that is , one
which will operate to expand our trade
without Interfering with revenue.
The paramount consideration , after all.
is that of providing the government
with sulliclent Income and even reci
procity. Important as Hint policy is ad
mitted to he. cannot be permitted to
operate to the detriment of the revenue.
As we have heretofore polnled out
in refeiviicc to this matter , the reci
procity provision of ihe tariff bill as It
passed the house designated certain ar
ticles to be Included In any agreement
with other countries. It was npecllic in
its terms , but It was held that it was
not sulliclciiily broad ami liberal to ac
complish what was desired. The pro
vision adopted by the senate Is of
greater scope , permitting agreements
embracing all articles which are Im
ported into the I'ldted Slates , lu ) those
dutiable it Is provided that a reduc
tion of 'Jo PIT cent may be made , wfille
other articles not produced here may be
iransfcnvd to the free list and those
already on ihe free list retained there.
It Is contemplated that agreements en
tered Into , which must be wiililn two
years , shall remain in force live years ,
thus assuring to countries making such
arrangements a rea.- > enable dcgive of
permanence. Hut all such agreements
are subject to the ratlllcation of the
senate , which introduces an element of
uncertainty that might Interfere with
their negoilailon.
In expressing a'desire for a liberal
policy In this matter it Is not Indicated
just what the president rrgards as es
sential , but It Is perhaps a safe .surmise
that ho does not think it necessary
that every commercial agreement should
have to undergo senatorial inspection
and run its chances of being approved
by the senate. This | s necessary In the
case of treaties , because It Is a consti
tutional requirement , but It would
win not to be essential in tlie case of
reciprocity agreements as contcmplati'd
Ui tUo uruvilim of the la riff bill. With

] tinpri'sidi'iit i to iiinkc such aeri'Piii'ViN
1 tlu-ri- t appears lo Iv no good reason why
tlr\v should require the approval of the

The reciprocity problem IMS proved
more ditlicitlt than was anticipated , but
ihi'i-e Is ex-cry reason to bpllevo that ti
satisfactory solution of It will IIP

AHIimmli the- state campaign will not
be begun for sixty days. It may not bi
out of place tn discuss the proposed reform -
form in tlie aiporllonmeiii | of delegates
to the republican enmity convention. The
fundamental basis of the slate conven
tion has for year * IUHMI the vote east for
rcpi'bliean candidates In tlie respective
counties.
' 1'he apportionment has usually been
one delegate for cadi county and one
dek'gato addlllonal for every i. > votes
cnst for republican candidate's al the pre-
vlous elt'ctlon. 'I'he basis of reprcseiitu-
lion established liy the state coiumlllee
has been adopted In nearly every county
as the basis for county representallon.
in ni.iUIng thi > apportionment for county
conventions each precinct Is usually
given one delegate and additional dele
gates for a llxed number of voles cast for
republican candidates tit Ihe preceding
election.
'I'he only notable exception to tills true
basis of representation lias been Doug
las county. While Its teprcsentalioti in
state convention Is based upon Ihe mini-
b'er of Its republican voters , the county
convention has been made up upon an
arbitrary apportionment by which every
ward in the city Is given an equal num
ber of delegates and every country pre
cinct an eiptal number of delegates. 1'n-
der this system a xvard that gives the
republican candidates only . " (10 ( vote.- ,
i has i the same voice in selecting candi
dates that is given to a ward which casts
1'JIX ) or 1. . ix > republican votes. In the
country precincts this discrepancy is oven
moreflagrant. . riontarf , which seldom
easts more than ten republican votes , is
given live delegates In the county con
vention , while I'latte Valley , Waterloo'1 '
and West Omaha , with from 100 lo l. ( )
republican votes , are each given only
live delegates.
Is there any good reason why this rank
discrimination should continue for an iu-
dellnlk' period ? c'an there be a better
time than the present to inaugurate a
reform that Is demanded in the interest
of Ihe parly as well as in the Intelest
of fair play ? It is not a question of cut- f
ting down the country representation
and curtailing Ihe inlliience of country
precincts in conventions. It is a question
whether the tail should continue to wag
the dog and democratic precincts uom- |
iuatti republican candidates.

There has been no clearer exposition
of the law in regard to trusts and com
binations in restraint of trade than that
given by Judge Fitzgerald of New Yoik
in his charge to the jury In the case
against the American Tobacco com-
pany. Suit was brought against this (
company by the authorities of Ihe state
i.l' Xexv York , charging that Ihe company
had violated the criminal law in conspir
ing to commit an act injurious to trails
and commerce. The court held that the
facts alleged in the indictment constl-
luted a crime and the charge pointed
out MIL- nature of the crime.
Judge Kit/.gerald defined a conspiracy
as a combination of two or more per
sons , by some concerted action , to ac
complish some criminal or unlawful pur
pose , or to accomplish soiiii1 purpose not
in itself criminal or unlawful by crim
inal or unlaxvful means. lie said that
the law condemns not only conspiracies
lo accomplish an unlawful object , but it
equally condiMiins conspiracic's to ac
complish lawful objects by unlawful
means. Th. . > principal argument of the
defense was that Ihe trust merely at
tempted to do what individuals could
legally endeavor to do any day , but the
court answered this by saying that
what an Individual may do is one thing ,
what a number of individuals may com
bine lo do Is quite another. "A cor
poration is a person , it Is Into , " said
Ihc court , "but it is an arllllclal person
' realcd by the slate. The individuals
who compose it are still Individuals pos
sessed of all their natural rights and
charged with their corivspondlng natural
duties. They cannot escape from Mi"
ciinsi'iicnci | ! > s of Individual unlawful acts
by the pretense that the ads charged
*
\\ere corpora1 ! acts. The Jaw Ignores the
liction ; It recognises the fact ; it troubles
Itself not with the shallow , it deals with
the substance. " What an Individual
may legally do It might be illegal for
two or more citizens In combination to
do. Acts that are Innocent when com
mitted individually in some instance.- ;
become criminal when committed by a
numh.T of Individuals combined.
A most Important feature of Ihe
charge of Judge Fll/gcrahl was lilsntate-
meiit that "Men have no right to en-
g.ige In combinations having for their
object tlie prevention of competition in
supplying to the public commndilies of
commerce. They have no right to com
bine to create a monopoly in such coin-
nMillies. . If they do , it does not
avail them that tin- price of the
commodity lias not been Increased ,
o. ' that It has even bc'-'ii dimi.i-
Wied Ip Ihe public. The ili'llger
which the law seeks to guard against Is
not the actual but the possible Injury
under such conditions. " 'nits Is In ac
cord with the decision of the su'ireuie
court of the I'lilted .States , In which it
was said that while trusts might even
reduce prices , "trade or commerce un
der those circumstances may neveiihi--
less be badly or unfortunately restrained
by driving out of business the small
dealers and worthy men whusu liven
have been spent therein and who might
lie unable to readjust themselves lo
their altered surroundings. "
I'lider the interpretation of the law
against tniais and coiubliiat'ou.s given by
the New York Judge , which Is In accord
j
with the decisions of the highest judlcl.il
tr.bunal of that state and of the siipivn-- :

Prom the i'i Ivvo editorial emanations
In one and the same Nsue of our amla-
'
hie I contemporary It Is evident that the
j | almost superhuman efforts of Its calam-
. j lly | editor and Its prosperity editor lo
; ; get logelher have not yet proved entirely
successful.
The passage of the tariff bill will give
i greater Impetus to the revival of prop
erty ' on tlie I'acllie coast and through
| out < the west than It will In the inaiiii-
' facturlng f centers of Noxv Kngland. The
, liup"iidlng ' change In the wool schedule
i has ' already sent the price of wool up and
| ; made ' a marked Improvement In the
} condition of the .sheep raisers , whoso in-
I dustry had been paraly/.ed by free wool.
The changes In metal , sugar and wine
j schedules will materially contribute
j toward ' ( he development of mineral resources -
sources , vineyards , and sugar beet cul
I ture. t
Another good sign of the times Is the
postscript frequently added to reports
of extraordinary crops to ( lie effect thai
the l farmers are encountering dllllciilty
' in ' securing tlie help required for the har
vest work. In some parts of the state
this scarcity of farm labor has forced Its
price up , ami everybody who Is willing
to work is employed. There may be Idle
woi'klugmeu who do not want to accept
this kind of employment at the current
wages , but the man who Is ready lo do
anything to earn an honest living is in
demand on Nebraska farms.
It Is to be noted that .Judge II. M. Sillf
llvan. whose devotion to the fusion cause
was rewarded with an appointment by
( lovernor Holeomb to a district juilge-
ship , and who only : i few weeks ago publicly -
licly announced his hostility to tlie
formation of a sepaiute parly organiza
tion by the so-called free silver re
publicans , is nevertheless on deck as a
member of the free silver republican
slate committee. Why so early a repent
ance of the 'protest against separate
party organisation ?

There Is one encouraging feature about
the. great strike of the bituminous co.il
miners : The demanded advance of wages
Id not extravagant , and the strike has not
been preceded by any such conflicts be
tween operators and operatives as should
preclude an early compromise. Under such
circumstances. If order can be preserved
for a few days , there can be little doubt
that a basis of settlement may bo reached.

Louisville. Courier-Journal : The Iowa
democrats had a fine convention mid re-

noxx' . when It Is assailed , Instead of con

The nomination nt Des Molnes of a state
ticket by tin' roil ml money democrats of
Ion a and the determined spirit manifested
In the proceedings of thu mmiliiatliiK con
vention ought to convince the silver faction
In Iowa at least that their substitution nf
free coinage for the Iradltlonnl doctrines of
democracy is not going to be acquiesced in
by the parly as a xvhole. The bringing In of
a nexx- program means. It Is evident , perma
nent schism If "free silver" Is to continue
, to he one of Ito planks. This Is an Impor-
" tnnt lesson , and It Is to he hoped that th ?
"new democrats" xvlll ponder Its meaning.
Ottumxva Courier : The real democrats of
Iowa are no longer without n platform for

cannot agree xvlth the national democrats
In everything they advocate , but xve most
heartily 1 endorse their repudiation of the
Chicago ( platform , and their loyalty toward
' thu preserx'atlon of American honor.

Pioneer Press : Kven Mary K. Lease has
deserted Dryan. She says that the Bllver
Issue belongs to th'i ' past. She says , fur
ther , that the next Issue must be "the In
dustrial emancipation of the people. " So ,
xve take It. the sliver Issue does not Involve
the Industrial emancipation of the people.
Thlfl declaration of the distinguished Kansas
agitator folloxvs closely upon the declaration

It Is hopeless to look for victory.
Is'ew York Tribune : Mrs. Lease has Joined
forces with ex-Governor Holes
so far no ( o
announce that the free silver issue Is playel
out. Just what the Iowa statesman has
fixed his mind on as n satisfactory substi
tute remains to be divulged , but the terror
of Kanoas wants nothing more nor less than
socialism In hers. It Is already clear , there
fore , that when Mr. Settle of Kentucky be-
clns his famous act of holding up William
J. Ilryan's hands while he plants his banner
on the topmost heights of victory he will
have to depend upon some other ministering
angel than Mra. Lease for a bottle-holder.
New York Sun : A momentous backslid
ing from the holy cause of silver Is here
recorded reverently. At Carthage , Mo. , th"
Hon. Mary Elizabeth Lease , the greatest
living st.iteswoman In Kansas , lectured on
the downfall of Koine , or something equally
as good , and declared that "tho silver ques
tion Is an ISSUP of the past , and will never
again r > nrve as the leading Issue for the re
form elements of politics. " "If Mr. Dryan
Is going to make the silver question the
dominant Issue In Ihe next campaign. " con
tinued " the greatest living ptatrswoiiian.
"here Is one woman against him. Socialism
Is the hope of the country. " A rocky road Is
before Mr. Ilryan. At the same time , Mrx
Lease ! not absolutely accurate in saying
that socialism Is the hope of the country.
The country has at last two hopes , of which
the principal one Is Mrs. Lease.

Cedar Rapids Republican : Kred White ,
ox-er his own signature , admits In a letter
to the Hes Molnes Leader that ho did say
"Tho cheaper money Is the bettor. " White
no doubt thinks that tin- old continental
curreti"y and the confederate script xx-js
an Ideal typo of money , for since it could
not possibly have been cheaper , II could
not have been better.
Hurllngton Ilawkryc : Mr. Kred Whit. * ,
the popocratlc candidate for governor , fur
nishes his own exegesis of the platform
upon which he xvas nominated , and It is
- . lie that he
all that i-i lequll-ed. says
"wants cheap dollars and the cheaper the
belter ; thut ho xvanto repudiation of old
debts ; that he wants absolute free trade ;
that ho xvants an Income tax , and that he
xvants all Inheritances conl'ricated. " All
thnt his opponents in debate require Is
the text which lie- himself furnishes for the
campaign. The text tellw the whole story
and does not require a very extensive ex
position to reach the understanding of the
votei-s.
Sioux City Journal : It Is Fred White ,
popocratlc candidate for governor of tow a ,
xvho says thin : "I would put a tax on to
bacco and liquors. The balance of the
revenue I xvould lalse by a graded Income
tax and a tax on Inheritances. " "How heavy
an Inheritance tax would you suggest ? "
"The rate of an inheritance tax fa a matter
for detail. It might be one-tenth of I
per cent on estates worth $100,000 , 2 pel-
cent on estates of $200,000 , 2r per cent on
estates ot $500.000 ami 75 per cent cm es
tates of $1.000,000. " Hut It WIIM Thomas
JctTerson who , on the same subject , expressed -

other ? , xvho , or xvhose fathers , have not ex

Of course it is hot
enough and the subject of the
weather becomes a very trying
ing- one if it is overdone in
discussion.
But hot weather
clothing is another matter. Its
purpose is to relieve the bur
den of these humid days.
We have serge suits
lined as you like , or half-lined ,
or altogether unlined , in the
skeleton fashion that many
prefer.
Cheviot is always
popular in summer because it
is light and open.
Crash is one of the
comparatively recent innova
tions for summer wear and it
is very light and cool.
In these and other
materials we have suits in all
sizes and in all prices from
the lowest possible charge for
decent suit up to as much
as you want to pay.
