The order of the court requires the Standard Oil company to permit the plaintiff and attorney general within sixteen days from the entering of this order to inspect the list of stockhold ers of the company, the list of tho names of all who have been stock holders from theHirae of the organi zation of the company, also the books containing the minutes of the com pany since the dale of its organization to the present time and other books and papers. If the trust can manage to evade that order by any sort of legal pro ceedings until Smyth's term expires and Prout becomes attorney general, It will feel that a great danger has been avoided. SENATOR TOWNE By . ppuliitmeiit of Governor I.ind He Own to Wahington to Fill the 'me ucj Caug2 by the Jeatl of Senator Xavis. The difference in the spirit of the opposing political forces in the United States had a demonstration In Min nesota last week. Governor Llnd sent a communication to the republican au thorities saying as the state had gone strongly republican, he would appoint any member of that party to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sena tor Davis that the republicans would recommend. The reply was tht any republican who would accept an ap pointment from a fusion governor would be considered too low to receive a single republican vote. That an swer contained an epitome of the mal ignity, hatred and vileness of the re publican leadership of the United States. It seems that the republican leaders in Minnesota are of the same depraved sort that we are so well ac quainted with in this state. Upon re ceiving this answer, Governor Lind appointed Charles A. Towne, who is now in Washington. The populists of Nebraska felt a thrill of Joy when this appointment was announced, although Mr. Towne can hold his office but a few weeks. In commenting upon Mr. Towne's appointment, the Denver News re marks: "Mr. Towne is the most distin guished representative of the new Am ericanism residing in Minnesota. Of course he will retire from the senate on March 4, but his appointment is an acknowledgement of the esteem aud respect in which he is held. '"The result of the late national elec tion in Kansas, Nebraska and some of that Kan- and dissat- silver mak- east. can- been a likely would have saved Kansas. Nebraska and South It was time that something like that was said. It was plain to every man at Kansas City, who was not a democrat simply because his father was. that the wise thing to do was to nominate Towne. But the old dyed-In-the-wool bourbons would not have it. One of their speakers even went so far as to offer insult to Towne and Teller on the floor of the convention. One of the "new democracy" gave him an Im mediate rebuke. While the populists were true to the ticket, notwithstanding the money and .forces that were against them, polled their vote for Bryan and Stev enson, it was utterly impossible for them to evoke the enthusiasm that would have set the prairies on fire from Minnesbta to Oklahoma if it had ! been announced that Towne had been nominated. This maudling Insult to the seven million voters with whom Towne worked for the election of Bryan, giv en by the republican ?eaders of Min nesota will do that party no good. When malignity and hatred go that extent, it carries with it its own pun ishment. A government by the rich always develops into arrogance. Af ter a while this arrogance may be come unbearable, even to those who vote the g. o. p. ticket at the dictation of the bosses or because their fathers voted it. That may be brought to a stand, as was an Englishman of the same stamp the other day. He was el bowing his way through a crowd and putting his hand on the shoulder of a man said: "Give way there." "Who are you?" asked the man. "I am one of the representatives of the people," i replied the M. P, ' Well, you just give ' 'ay- replied the man, "for this is the blooming people theirself. In intellectual power, in purity of character, in manly manliness, Towne has no superior in these United States. He forsook the party of wealth and power to become the advocate of the cause or the common people at the very time when all the avenues of ad vancement lay open before him. In the hour of defeat he is as true as ever. There is no Stewart or Peffer flavor about him. ANTI-TRUST AMENDMENT Tli True History of the Mersment and Where the Responsibility for Ac tion Sow Ues. Every one who took any interest in the last campaign will recall without ! difficulty the amount of lying that was i in ?hfl rnnhHcan narPrs frtnepm. iDS the attemPt made ln the ,ast con" stigmatlzed " the trade unionjs as com binations in restraint of trade, and the dockets are finea with indictments, and the jails were filled with men charged with conspiracy because they were members of , trade unions; this, too, notwithstanding the fact that the trade unions are the most beneficent organizations the world has ever wit nessed to promote the welfare of all the people. We protested against tke passage of tha constitutional amend ment, for we discerned that there was the gravest possible danger to the workers, and to the people of our country. We insisted that if ths anti trust bill should pass, it should con tain an amendment that would elimi nate the possibility of any court's making victims of the toilers because they have sufficient irtelligence and manhood to unite for their own. and the common protection. -x "At our instance an amendment to the so-called anti-trust bill was sub mitted as follows: " 'Provided that nothing in this act shall be construed as to apply to trade unions or other labor organizations in stituted for the purpose of regulating wages, hours or labor, and other con ditions, under which labor is to be performed.'. "Thi9 amendment, though rejected by the author of the bill and the com mittee, was offered upon the floor of the house of representatives. The bill as amended passed the house, practi cally fiy unanimous vote; but when pressed for passage in the senate, the bill, robbed of its sting against or ganized labor, was practically killed, at least for the session, by its refer ence to the judiciary committee, from which source no report was possible. "Your attention is respectfully called to a letter upon this subject ad dressed by me to the Hon. Edwin R. Ttidgley, and incorporated in the leg islative committee's report as pub lished in the American Federationist of July, 1900. Of course, the consti tutional amendment has been de feated, but the anti-trust bill as passed by the house, is in the hands of the senate judiciary committee. If those who favor anti-rtrust legislation are earnest, they can attest it by urging the passage of Mis bill. "That to which we should direct our attention is that its passage ought to be prevented, unless the amendment excluding the trade unions and labor organizations from the provisions and operations of the bill is retained." , If there had been a particle of sin cerity in McKinley, instead of the Machiavellian passage that he put into his message on the subject of trusts, he would have made a plain recom mendation for the passage of this bill tht lies sleeping the sleep of death in that senate committee. When one thinks of the villainous lies that were printed in the . republican papers by the column about that bill well it is no use to swear and nothing else seems appropriate. INVADES CALIFORNIA Standard Oil Company Concludes Deal for th Purchase of All Oil Well' In That State It is reported in a special dispatch from Los Angeles, Cal., that a deal has just been consummated whereby the Standard Oil company acquires all of the interest of the Pacific Coast Oil company. The purchase price is said to be in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. The Pacific Coast Oil company has been doing business in California for a quarter of a century and has been reaching out during that period until Its interests include valuable oil, prop erties in various sections. It owns a steamer which is used in transporting oil from the southern coast to its re finery at Alameda, which has a month ly capacity of 25.000 barrels. The company's entire holdings are em braced in the transfer: Poultry Wanted Summers, Brown & Co., commission merchants, 198 South Water St., Chi cago, 111., whose advertisement may be found ln these columns, are at present making a special bid for poultry for their Christmas trade. This firm han dles poultry largely and report that notwithstanding their receipts for Thanksgiving were liberal they did not receive enough to supply their reg ular trade, to say nothing of outside orders. They anticipate a very large demand for Christmas at good prices and want the poultry to supply it. They urgently request shipments from ; our readers to reach them in time for ; the Christmas market, and they guar- ; antee to all who ship them top mar- ket price, full weight and prompt re- turns. They also guarantee to those I who ship them more money for their poultry than they can get at home. They give the following directions for dressing poultry for the Chicago market: Simply take off the feathers, leaving the head and feet on. Do not draw crop or entrails. Turkeys sell best dry picked, all other poultry shotild be scalded. This firm is reliable and responsible. Mark your poultry to them and they will take good care or you. In addition to poultry they handle farm products of all kinds. Writ them for prices or any information wanted.

It cost Robert M. La Follette over $5,000, or more than one year's sa'ary, to be elected governor of Wisconsin. The governor- elect filed a statement of his election expenses December 5, for both the nomination and election ?ontests, covering th time from May 16, whn the announcement of his candidacy was isttis to NovnoDer (J, election day. The principal items are for printing and postage, almost $t,200 being spent for postage stamps. The statement follows: To expenses of canvassers in railroad fare, hotel bills and livery throughout prelimi nary and election contest. . $1,450 00 To telegraph bills 49 70 To express and drayage 43 70 To telephone bills 78 63 To printing 1.079 22 To personal railroad and ho tel expenses '. 271 46 To postage stamps 1,197 27 To state central committee.. 500 00 To office help, typewriting and - expenses incident thereto. 299 92 To cigars 126 00 Total ; $5,095 92 Crime and Carelessness The report of the superintendent of the police force that had charge of the Paris exposition has just been made public. It makes an interesting item. Most of the crimes were committed by native Parisians, but for carelessnsess the United States leads them all. It must have been an American who dropped a satchel containing $45,000 and, then forgot to make an inquiry at the police headquarters where all the lost articles were kept. The re port shows a total of 13.0S7 arrests on the fair grounds. The causes are thus divided: Murder, 4; murderous as saults, 115; crimes against morals, 362; minor assaults, 1,192; defacing prop erty, 401; theft, 4,603. Strangers arrested were 1,189. Of those fortj'-four were Americans, which was less than any other nation, except Denmark and Polynesia, which had one each. The total number of objects foun and turneu over to the police was 66,317, including a satchel containing $46,700 in American money which was never claimed, more than 6.000 umbrellas, one set of false teeth. 248 single garters, twenty-two corsets wrapped in nevfspapers or otherwise, three burglars' kits, five crosses of the Legion of Honor, fourteen foreign dec orations, one pair of women's russet slippers only slightly used and many other queer articles. This museum, with the exception of what may be claimed before May 1. will be sold at auction for the benefit of charity. A VOICE IN THE EAST What TU Independent Has Been Saying for the Last Six Years is Repealed by Bishop Potter The greed for gold, the subordinat ing everything to the talent to ac cumulate money, the concentration of capital and the worship of mammon, has been the theme of much writing in The Independent. It has been like the voice of one crying in the wilder ness and but few have heard. At last there has a voice arisen in the east, echoing the same warnings. Spoken there, from the point from which radiates all the information that the people are permitted to get, mil lions will hear it that never heard it before. Bishop Potter delivered an address in New Haven, Conn., December 6, in which he sums up in a masterful way the passions of the present time in its lust for money. His lecture was en titled, "Wealth and Commonwealth." "I choose .this subject because of its paramount importance," he said. "Divorce, crime and corruption in all our cities have one root, the lust of money. The one eager, dominant hun ger which salutes us from one end to another of our broad land is the pas sion, the hunger, the greed of gain. "Challenge what method you will in the complicated web of our industrial, political and social life and you will find the question of gain behind it. Listen to what scandal you may in the haunts of politicians, in the camps of soldiers, in the halls of fashion, the final standard in the whole business may be expressed by the dollar mark. "Listen to the talk of children as they measure and compare their eld ers. Hear a group of young girls, whose fresh youth one would think ought in the matter of their most ten der and sacred, affections to be as free from sordid instincts as from the taint of a Godless cynicism, and you will find that they have their price and are not to be had without it any more than a Circassion slave in the market of Bagdad.

When the religious press was subsidized by valuable advertising, mostly from banks and trusts, when ii became the advocate of plutocracy, when it stopped its reform work and spent millions in building costly tem ples of worship, when its high-priced ministers began to fear for their pos! tions if they dared to tell the truth as God gave them to see the truth, they laid in society the. leaven of corrup tion that has very nearly Teavened the whole lump. It is true that no "mechanism of leg islation" will ever remove the evils or which the Bishop complains, not be cause we could not do It, but because there is no possibility of obtaining such legislation until the voting pop ulation is brought up to a "much high er plane" than It now occupies. If the church will respond to this clar ion call of Bishop Potter, that day may not be very far off. If it does not. no man can tell what may happen perhaps another French revolution. Under the stern decree of the French courts the Countess de Castellane can spend only 8,295 francs a day, which means about $1,650. Poor countess! OF MUSIC 1
