We give below the plank of the state
platform on trusts as presented by S. C.
Gray, delegate from Platte county, and
The Jocbnaii confidently recommends
it to the republicans of the United
States as worthy a place in the funda
mental law of the country:
The republican party recognizes that
legitimate business, fairly capitalized
and honestly managed, has built up our
industries at home, given the largest
employment to labor at highest wages
and enabled us successfully to compete
with foreign countries in the markets of
the world. But the republican party,
now, as always, is unalterably opposed
to all trusts and combinations having
for their purpose the stifling of compe
tition and arbitrarily controlling produc
tions or fixing prices. We refer to the
fact that all restrictive legislation in the
national congress has been the product
of the republican party and we demand
in substance the following amendment
to the constitution of the United States:
Congress shall have the power to reg
ulate and control any and all corpora
tions, co-partnerships and joint stock
companies and to enact such laws as
will prevent any and all combinations in
restraint of, or prohibition of trade, the
formation of trusts and such other com
binations of capital as operate to prevent
free competition.
The delegates at large elected at the
state convention to the republican na
tional convention were: EL Rosewater,
John M. Thurston, John H. McClay,

Omen P and X Streets.
There is now pending for passage by
the city council, an ordinance whose ob
ject in our opinion, ought to have been
stated to remove obstructions from P
and M streets in the city. The ordi
nance has been read a second time and
is now to be put upon its passage.
The subject is not a new one to Co
lumbus city councils, neither is it new
to the older citizens, who understand
pretty fully the legal rights in the
matter.
The founders of the city, although in
their homes and business occupying a
limited portion, provided for a rather
extensive city, in its plat fixing streets
and alleys, locating in the midst here
and there, squares for parks, etc.
The possible necessities of the U. S.
government; the growing migration to
the Pacific coast, the increasing travel
and consequent traffic across the western
half of the United States induced the
government to concede a right of way
across the country to the Union Pacific.
The public needs and the public wel
fare were the guiding thoughts in the
whole matter, so far as the right is con
cerned, .and now, should the necessity
arise for it, the general government
(which fortunately is the body of indi
vidual sovereigns) have the authority to
do all that ought to be done, which in
cludes "just compensation" to be ascer
tained by "due process of law" for indi
vidual property taken.
The complete history of the transac
tions of the Union Pacific company and
the city of Columbus, before the laying
of their track and since would fill a
large volume, but the guiding facts are
by no means blotted out of the memory
of those now living, and they will fur
nish food for thought to those in author
ity who choose to study them.
Our streets running north and south
bear the letters of the alphabet begin
ning with the east; those running east
and west are numbered from one up,
beginning at the south.
The Union Pacific line, bearing east
and west, crosses the alphabet streets,
and runs nearly parallel to the num
bered ones, and between 11th and 12th
on the north.
From K on the east to Q on the west
and from 10th on the south of the track
to 13th on the north might be set down
as inclusive of the present business
limits of the city, the main business,
nowever being done between L and P
and 11th and 13th.
Now it is proposed again (as time and
again discussed) to remove obstructions
from P and M. The railroad company
object, and offer to remove obstructions
on f street, if they are conceded the
exclusive use of M street within the
bounds of their right of way, which they
claim to need for the erection of a
freight depot
All reasons of the city's welfare go to
show that -streets in the heart of busi
ness should be opened and remain
opened to the general public.
If Mstreet is to be treated as P street
has been for all these years it will mean
more or less obstruction to travel on N
and L. Take an instance of the present
situation: Monday evening a passenger
train was standing across the track on
N and a freight train was waiting south
of it, and during the few minutes this
was the case, there were on one side 15
people wanting' to go south, and 10
ready to cross north, aad thaa it would
ixsoexxx;
Rtctri ftr April, MM.
be many times a dsy.
Keep all streets as free from obstruc
tion as possible, and enforce the law on
everybody..
Stand for your rights, and settle mat
ters according to justice.
If $50,000 would bo the damage to the
Union Pacific company by the opening
of M street for the use of citizens gen
erally, how much more than $50,000 is it
to have it closed for the next fifty or a
hundred years by a freight depot in the
street?
In 1877, an arrangement was entered
into, in the nature of ji contract between
the city as represented by C. A. Speice,
Mayor, and the Union Pacific company,
by which certain agreements were en
tered into, among which was that for
certain concessions on streets, the Union
Pacific would "maintain its depot and
freight houses substantially in their
present location" "present" of course,
meaning, as they were in 1877. Some
time since, they simply ceased to use
this as a passenger depot, thus foregoing
any rights they may have claimed under
the contract
Why should the city be held to a con
tract and the Union Pacific be rid of it,
at pleasure?

Albert, son of Mr. and Mrs. David
Smith, was born in Columbus in 1884,
and went to Cheyenne in 1896 with his
parents. At the time of his death he
was an apprentice in the shops at that
place, and he worked till Wednesday
noon, when he complained of feeling
sick. The doctors pronounced his case
appendicitis, and he was operated on
Friday afternoon, April 27, and died two
hours after the operation.
Albert was a good boy and loving son.
His parents will miss him as will all his
friends. He was a member of the mili
tia, and they buried him with military
honors.
The Cheyenne Sun-Leader says that
Albert was buried from St Mary's Ca
thedral, a salute being fired over the
grave and taps sounded.
Everybody who knew him spoke well
of him. Perhaps as high a tribute as
could be paid him is couched in the lan
guage of Mr. Spoor, who knew him as an
apprentice in the shops: MI loved that
boy as if he were my own. He was a
manly little fellow and would have been
a fine machinist and good citizen. He
was always anxious to learn, ever polite,
courteous and respectful to his elders.
I sympathize with his 'parents from the
bottom of my heart"

went on until an early hoar Wednesday
morning. The happy couple have the
best wishes of their many friends and
acquaintances. The presents were very
numerous, useful aad valuable.

Walklaa V Stairs.
A physician who declared that few
people knew how to walk up stairs
properly was asked to describe haw it
should be done. He said: "Usuair a
person will tread on the ball of the
foot in taklag each step. This la very
tiresome aad wearing en the muscles,
aa It throws the eatlre suspeaded
weight of the body oa the muscles of
the legs and feet You should In walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution of the body's weight
possible.
"In walking up stairs your feet
Should be placed squarely dowa oa the
step, heel and all, and then the work
should be 'performed slowly and de
liberately. In this way there Is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one Is doing Its duty In a natural
manner. The woman who goes up
stairs with a spring is no philosopher,
or at least she Is not making a proper
use of her reasoning faculties.
"The habit too, of bending over half
double when ascending a flight of
stairs Is exceeding reprehensible. In
any exertion of this kind, when the
heart is naturally excited to a more
rapid action, it Is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. ' The
crouching position Interferes .with
their action, the blood Is Imperfectly
aerated, and there Is trouble at once.
Give the lungs a chance to do their
work everywhere and at all times."

Why There Was Km
When he was a young man, Seaator
Hale of Maine, like many young men
who have later on In life made their
mark In the world, was not without
that egotism which Is said to be an
element of success.
On one occasion Mr. Hale was rid
ing In an old fashioned stage coach
with Senator and Mrs. Frye. The only
other passenger was an Irish woman
past middle life, rather comely of face,
who wore enormous hoops, fashiona
ble at that period. To amuse bis fel
low passengers Mr. Hale pretended to
be much enamored of Biddy and would
sidle up close to her as If he were about
to put his arms about her, look unut
terable things at her and entertained
himself and his companions at the
good natured creature's expense. Final
ly at one of the stations a man put his
head In the door and asked If there
was any room to be had Inside the
coach.
"No," said Mr. Hale. "All the seats
are taken." Then turning to the Irish
woman and looking Into her eyes with
great tenderness he said:
"There Isn't any room In here. Is
there? We don't want any one else In
here, do we?"
"No," said Biddy, with a delightful
brogue. "My hoops are pretty large,
and I see you feel pretty large, and
there Is no room here." Detroit Free
Press.

In March, 1815, the Paris Monlteur
announced the expected return of Em
peror Napoleon from Elba. The first
announcement of the Monlteur was
far from polite, but as the little Cor
Bican approached Paris a gradual
change took place In Its tone:
"The cannibal has left his den."
"The Corslcan wolf has landed In
the bay of San Juan."
"The tiger has arrived at Gay."
"The wretch spent the night at
Grenoble."
"The tyrant has arrived at Lyons."
"The usurper has been seen within
50 miles of Paris."
"Bonaparte Is advancing with great
rapidity, but he will not put his foot
Inside the walls of Paris."
"Tomorrow Napoleon will be at our
gates."
"The emperor has arrived at Fon
talnebleau." "His Imperial majesty Napoleon en
tered Paris yesterday surrounded by
his loyal subjects."
Haasca aaa Bis Pale.
When Dr. Nansen visited Leeds, soon
after his north pole expedition, a very
amusing Incident was witnessed. A
large crowd stood outside the station to
welcome him, two of bis most ardent
admirers being a couple of old men
who kept waving their sticks and
shouting themselves hoarse. When the
celebrated explorer bad passed In his
carriage, there followed In his wake a
wagon, dragged by horses, bearing a
long Iron pole which belonged to an
electric tramway company. Directly
the old men saw it the following con
versation took place:
"Well, I'U be blowed, Bill, he's browt
t'pole back wl him!" said one.
"Aye," said the other, "and we t'only
two af s noticed it They're all run
ning after t'carrlage, sitha. They're

t'north pole when they sees It" Lon

Frast the Wladsws.
So many people In towns have to
live In nuthouses or houses In which
the back windows are in such close
proximity to those of their neighbors
that a simple method of rendering the
glass opaque, but not excluding the
light may be useful. The frosted ap
pearance of ground glass may be near
ly Imitated by gently dabbing the glass
over with a paint brush dipped In
white paint or any other oil color. The
paint should be thin and but little col
or taken up at one time on the end of
the bristles. When applied with a
light and even touch, the resemblance
to frosted glass Is considerable.
