The Japanese are buying Hour In Minneapolis and the Indications are that they will tiiko considerable of America's reduced stock of Krnln to feed their lighters In the Held. This may mean that wheat will bo forced- up to the ifU.OO mark before another crop Is ready for the mlllor. Lot It coma. The American farm era can stand $2 wheat and a chance of get ting oven with the other trusts and millionaires. In tbo dead of winter It may require a little more time to get the Japs thor oughly warmed up to their work , but when they reach that condition there will be something doing about Mukden that Is not absolutely on the program of General Kuropatkln. Roforo spring time.arrlves with all Its beauties and joys they may conclude that a inarch to Harbin Is about the proper under taking and if they do will go with or * without the consent of the Russians. There are some Indications that a few of the newspapers and politicians who have been favoring President Roosevelt's aggressive policy regard ing trust Und railroad legislation are getting ready to backslide and dodge the Issue. As an abstract proposition It must have looked pretty well but when they have been pinned down on some definite point their courage has failed them and they are ready to plead in behalf of the institutions threatened. The Nebraska legislature may have ridden Itself of the confirmed lobby ists , but It evidently has not succeed ed In subduing the men who at every term , seek to Introduce Impossible bills. There are a number before the present session that no one ever ex pects to be made into laws and they would not be enforced if they wore placed on the statute hooks. The hard working commitCteecs , however , are expected to dispose of them in short order. - The steel trust Is scheduled to be the next at taking a turn with Uncle Sam and explaining its methods. It is to have a time at proving that It Is not operating in restraint of trade. Vncle Sam has a bunch of these trusts on its hands that seem to bollovo themselves charitable , gentlemanly , kind hearted organisations , but with a reputation among the people that Is Just contrary and the government Is expected to do what It can toward es tablishing an official basis for the des ignation of their action to accord with both views of the situation. The people should not find It nec essary to humble themselves before the United States senate to get Jus- . . . tf/Rwtfl- * Miv. * * - tlco from the exactions of thn trusta and the railroads , but that neoms to bo the prevailing opinion In that body , and If ( hey Insist upon that attitude the sovereign people will undoubtedly early uiidertako to see that the or ganization of the uppoh IIOIIHU of con- groHH IH HO changed .thai they will have representation there.

Nebraska IH carefully blanketing her productive neil thlH winter to glvo It a nice long nwt preparatory to the strenuous efforts It will bo expected to put forth next season In growing a bumper crop somewhat similar to the one It produced during the past season. It can do Just that thing and II ( H noteworthy that It can rest \vh6tli- being blanketed by HMOW or not. still people llko to think the snow IH for something besides sledding. Now that they have caught lloch , the alleged C'hlcago Itluobeard. It IH feared that the courts will not bo able to make a charge of murder stick and ho will bo "hold only for swindling and bigamy unless bin latent wlfo'H atom- aeh shows poison. There IH a long suspicion that ho IH all that has been claimed that IH nowlso mitigated by the fact that ho made love to a Now York landlady whllo'tho olllcorij wore hot on bis trail , and after an acquaint ance of but twenty minutes. Tbo people of the country will now see whether the beef trust will con- tlnuo to carry on Its methods as It HOOH lit , after the highest court In tlio land ban declared' ' that It Is a consplr- rcy In restrain of trade In dressed moats. It Is to bo hoped that bore- aft or when the small denier hns some moat ho wishes to place on the mar ket and the trust comes along nnd tells him ho must put It on at the trust price ho can politely turn to the corporation and toll It to go to Uncle Sam and learn that ho can do as ho pleases In the mattqr and It Is none of the trust's business. Perhaps tb/ > critics of the Hepburn measure for the regulation of rail- mini niton will nmv lin HiiHHllnil slncn the committee of the house has decid ed' to report a bill made up of the ICsch-Townsond mcasuro with amend ments from the proposed Hepburn law. It Is not astonishing that tbo democratic members/ dissatisfied with the measure , but It Is to bo hoped that the majority party of con gress will find that It ills the case ex actly and promptly pass 'It on to the president. The main end sought by the president and the people Is to give the Interstate commerce commission authority to act and make It possible for the shippers to secure just and equitable rates with no rebates to curtail the benefits that are expected to accrue. With the advance In tbo price of diamonds comes the report that the largest one over , has been found in the Transvaal. The monster gem is said to weigh 3,0t2 : carets and its val ue is placed at f 1,000,000. The fa mous Kohlnoor which Is valued at $600,000 and weighs 12tf carets , Is said to have been the largest pre vious stone uncovered. This was said to weigh 900 iKMinds before cutting. The stone would weigh , In Its rough state ? approaching on two pounds , and finished It should weigh nt least half i that. It will be a matter of contest between the millionaires and royal ties to see who will wear that pound stone dangling from a necklace or nicely set In a finger ring , and per haps after this contest Is over the price of the bauble will have risen above the estimate of four'mllllons. Russian Workmen are rejMirted to bo feeling so good over the reputed victory of General Kuropatkln In Manchuria that they have forgottou | their strikes and revolutionary an-1 i tics , and are celebrating the achieve ment of the commander in the far east , Reforo they have too good a time nnd feel too enthusiastic they had bettor wait for the future devel opment , of tbo conflict. They should not fail to remember the precedents of the entire war , which have always appeared favorable to the Russian arms on the start , but have concluded with remarkable victories for the Jap anese forces. Ueforo this engage ment Jms been concluded precedent unqualifiedly promises that there will bo a sweeping victory for the Japan ese growing out of It , then If the mal contents In Russia needed a victory to sot them right , it may ho demon strated that a defeat will set thorn in opposition to the government In great er strength than before. It Is a poor rule that will not work both ways. Nebranka In not the worst state In the union regarding January weather. Previous affairs should warn thu Russians to look a little out. Report ed vlctorlort for lliolr arum UHiially end disastrously. An a remedy for losing fat wallets , having pockets picked of largo sums , or losing great wadu over the gaming table to the fellow who holds the cardH , an era of Grover Cleveland democratic reform might provo reme dial. The MlHuonrl. legbilaturo IH present ing a telling argument for tbo popular election of senators. If the people of that Htitto connot get what they want In that direction , however , they might try the NobraHka pfan , whfeli was uni formly satisfactory hero. Tbo Nebraska legislature Is stead ily maintaining the record with which the session was opened nnd It IH not Improbable that It will have given the people tbo best and most satisfactory value for tlielr money they have over received when It has concluded. The town or city which hasn't un covered the fact that Johann lloch IUIH vlHlted It nnd made love to any where from two to a Hcoro of Its wo men , Is hardly entitled to a place on the map. Ho IH evidently a far great er and faster traveler than Pat Crowe. Tom Lawson promises to take care of Standard Oil while the government IH doing what It can to the disadvant age of the beef trust , the stool trust and other corporations that have boon Inclined to grab everything In sight and yell for more. Two of Dowlo's followers are dead and his wlfo is seriously lll _ despite the prayers that ho has offered for their recovery. The modern Elijah Is apparently unable to demonstrate that ho Is any more capable than some of tbo Christian Scientists. What will Now Jersey do for rev enue If the United States government , the courts nnd the people continue to hammer away at the trusts and tbo organization of the same ? The little state on tbo coast Is being almost worse hit than the trusts themselves' Some of the democrats Insist that they have a bettor measure for the- regulation of the railroads than that offered by Congressman Hepburn. If they rbally wish to aid , however , they will support the best republican mea sure before congress 'for the purpose. While Nledrlngbaus Is not rapidly coining to tbo front in the Missouri senatorial contest , ho Is evidently gratified to note that none of the other - . er fcnndldatcs-are making headway In the light and ho may bo able to bold out as long as the next best man before - , fore the legislature. ' ' lOngland seems to bo successful In getting into trouble with Russia re gardless of where the trouble may take place. Whether It is intended j by fate to eventually force' that gov ernment Into the war or just to main-1 tain an Interest It Is apparent that 1Cngland is bound to receive or give attention to passing affairs. That California air ship Is liable to do all and more than the Sautos-Du- mont machine. It was to bo expected , i Some foreigner may bo able to give the Yankees an Inspiration for a starter - : or , but the latter may bo rolled upon to show a few achievements In the ' same line that are not on the original I bill and not easily duplicated. , i It has been found that Grand Duke \ Serglus Is the ruling Inlluencc with | the czar of all the Russlas. and that | It was he who directed the c/.ar's' ' course In the recent crisis. There Is ' additional reason why some of the people of that country would llko to meet the grand duke alone on some dark night. January Is usually all thaw In Nebraska - ( braska , but this year It has gene on | record with scarcely an Intimation i that the sun could warm things up In ! 1 this section of the country. The people ple are gratified that It has gene Into history and are hoping that because of Its severity the ground hog may be good to them with February. Omaha , with her $500,000 lire , said to bo one of the most disastrous In the history of the city , is not Inclined to bo at the rear when the tire rqcord for the now year Is summarized. It was a serious loss , but the Nebraska me tropolis has the enterprise and abil ity necessary to raise from the ruins Institutions of greater worth than those consumed. Enterprising cities have frequently found that fires In stead of being Insurmountable disas ters , nro frequently a matter of ad vertisement and it Is expected by the admirers of Omnha that it will derive more benefit than loss from the con flagration In Its wholesale district. The senate Is strenuously attempt ing to lead the people of the country Into the belief that the admission to statehood of the remaining territories IH easily thu paramount IHHUO of the present ncsHlon of congresH. The pub lic In Inclined to believe otherwise , however , and It may require more than the upper house of congress to convince them of their error. The tltno has apparently already ar rived when the Japanese are to dem onstrate that Kuropatkln has no easy and open pathway to Per ( Arthur through Manchuria. If It was merely a test of possibilities , It has not prov en much In the way of encouragement to the force that will necessarily bo the aggrcHsor In the future In nny at tempt to retake the fortress. Kuropatkln may bo merely demon strating that If there are patriots at homo who have a longing to encounter death in an absolute fashion his ranks are still capable of accepting a few re cruits. Tbo wlHilom of posing as tar- gotH for the czar's Cossacks Is ques tioned when the Japanese are Just as good murksmen nnd apparently as fully determined to find someone to shoot. President Roosevelt has demonstrat ed that ho bellevea In party platforms and considers them created as a guide to olllclal action. ' There have boon presidents who would go a long way around to keep from standing on the platform of tholr party , or do Just as llttlo as possible to Indicate that they were not antagonistic to tlio policy of their party , but Roosevelt has been setting the coming genera tions of presidents a beneficial exam ple and the country Is to receive the benefits of his policy. Perhaps the rope and twine trust of Now. Jersey considered It would bo just as well to anticipate govern mental action and decided t6 cease Its existence without awaiting a long light In court4 and orders from fed eral otllcors. WluUhcr the trusts are lawfully put out of the way or fright ened to death makes llttlo difference t'o a public that has long been victim ized. The main thing Is to clear the Hold of their inllucnces and practices and % If that can be done all but tbo holders of stock In tbo corporations will fool extremely grateful. The government has given the beef trust to understand that the decision of the supreme court In the case is not Intended for a largo official joke , but that the trust , collectively and in dividually , will be held to the decision and that criminal proceedings will be Instituted. It Is one of the most im portant decisions In behalf of the people plo that has been made In many years and no ono will feel a tquch of pity If the entire combination Is destroyed and dissipated. The packers will need to manage to look after their business Interests individually or the small packers and the country butchers will bo given permanent employment by the people. The legislators of- Nebraska will doubtless bo influenced In dealing with the proposed county optloi ? law , by the face that there was no liquor question before the people during the last cam paign , except that offered by the pro hibition party , and may bo expected to act accordingly. When there is a do'mand for a change from the Slo- cumb law under which the state Is at present working , it will probably be taken up by one of the leading parties during a campaign and the people will be given a chance to indicate their de sires on the question. The county op tion bill may , llko hundreds of others , have been Introduced without expect ing it to become a law , but whatever the Intent there Is a level-headed leg islature at work that will deal wisely with the question. In rendering a decision against Swift & Co. , an Important portion of the beef trust , the United States supreme premo court'has confirmed the opinIon - Ion of the people nnd ofjhe admlnls- ( ration that the trust Is nnd has been violating the laws of the land In Its practices , and It Is to bo hoped that relief from its exactions will now bo realized , both by consumers of meat and those who raise cattle and hogs for the markets. There Is certainly an Indication on the part of the gov ernment that It Is willing anil ready to stand by the people as opposed to the trusts and It Is to bo hoped that all ether trusts that have been exer cising broad license for many years will bo effectively curbed nnd every person who desires to enter the field they have occupied will bo permitted to do so. The steel trust Is next on the schedule and while It is not as di rectly connected with the affairs of the people as thho beef trust , they are Interested In seeing it receive the same consideration at the hands of the gov ernment and the courts.
