Ho caused a rumpus when ho meddled with it in the early part of his first administration which 2ms not yet been quite forgotten. IT IS said of the productiveness of the south that "thoro is a maximum of results for a minimum of labor. " It is very lucky for the southern people that it Is so , for a great proportion of them consider themselves too strong to work. However , they are gradually getting over that and tlio results of the change nro already apparent In increased pros perity. _ _ _ _ _ _ THE other day a convict in a Now York state prison killed two men and wounded several others before ho could bo subjugated.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S indifference to the clamor of North Dakota and Kan- Boa for federal otllce pie has been ex plained by some on the ground of the unsatisfactory status of their senators elect. But what is the trouble about California ? Not a shco ] ms been pitched over to the Pacific slope , and the people there are hungry. IN A review of the cattle market the JYafiomii Stockninn takes occasion to ex press the utmost confidence in the con tinued prosperity of the cattle business in this country , which ha ? boon con stantly improving for some time past. It Bays that "In spite of the determined ef forts of buyers and the depressed condi tion of the foreign market for beeves , values Imvo slowly but steadily sought a higher plane" and that ' -it Is the long pull and the steady pull that IB the mosl ufTeutlvo mm that generally does the most good. ACCOUNTS of devastation of furlou windstorms , that have recently swop the country from the InkiM to the gulf cintlnuo. The havoc wrought In parti of Michigan and the states bordering on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers is without precedent , and tholoss othuumi life and property is appalling. Whole towns have boon laid in ruins or swept away , and the desolation in the wako ot the oyolonos Is dlro Indeed , leaving thousands t endure unwonted and un told hardships. There is opportunity forrnoro fortunate communities to manifest ifost that gonproui consideration that does not partnko of tlio character o charity and yet Illustrates the proverbial benevolence of the people whenever oc caslon demands. nil. niiMoVM , w TIII ; ; ; . ic ; ll ) < Mn iion of the notion of rotnmli * Monur lllount , In put'simiico of Instruc tions Ix'foio his departure to Hawaii , In ordering the removal of thu Amurlcnn ling from the govornnumt building at Honolulu , continues. The administra tion IH sharply criticised for thin pro ceeding ovott by republican papers which Imvo not approved of annexation. It ought to bo apparent to those who do this that they discredit the attitude of the preceding administration regarding the raising of the llug. That net under the authority of the Ameri can minister ? taken entirely upon his own responsibility , was dis tinctly dloavowcd by President Har rison. Minister Stevens was Informed that so far as his action appeared to overstep the limit of providing adequate protection for American interests , "by letting the authority and power of the Jnitcd States above that of the govern- nent of the Hawaiian Islands in the ca- mclty of protector , or to impair in any vay the Independent sovereignty of the lawalian government by substituting ho flag and the power of the United States as the symbol and manifestation of paramount authority , It Is diMi- owed. " It is impossible to misunder- tand the meaning of this explicit lan guage. It was in effect a declaration hat tin- raising of the Hag over the cap- tel of Hawaii was unwarranted , and it s perfectly obvious that if the Ameri can minister had done his duty ho would IHUO otdored the Hag removed innnedi- itely upon hearing from Washington. In this view of tlio matter , and it is .ho only one that can fairly bo taken , It s plain that the present administration lias simply acted In accordance with the position of its predecessor. If there v as no justification for raising the Hag "as the symbol and manifestation of paramount authority" the only [ iiopor thing to do was to remove It. The American minister liaving made a mistake the plain duty of the government was to correct it. It lias been suggested that England or Germany would not have taken this ourso under like circumstances , but this government does not model its policy upon that of European govern ments and is not called upon to consider what they might tip in any given state of things. Besides it isory question able whether a British or Gorman min ister would in the absence of instruc tions from the government nsnume such responsibility as tlio American minister to Hawaii assumed. The trained diplomatists of those countries act with better judgment and discretion than was shown in this case and it is entirely safe to say that they would not persist in an action after it had been dis tinctly disavowed and repudiated by their governments. Another question raised in connection with this Hawaiian matter is whether the president did not exceed his consti tutional authority in appointing a com missioner to supersede tlio minister. Secretary Gresham is said to rccogniEO the fact that a mistake was made and Senator Butler , the chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs , is quoted as expressing the opinion that the president cannot , without the advice and consent of the senate , commission a person to supersede the United States minister. It is contended that if the president possesses this power all ho would have to do would be to send his private representative to supersede a minister whenever ho saw fit. There may bo some force in this , but it seems altogether improbable that the action of the president , deliberately taken , was outside of his constitutional authority. Judging from Washington advices , the prevailing impression there is that the administration is not favorable to an nexation , but that it will permit no for eign power to interfere in Hawaiian affairs. DIVEHSK JXTKltPRKlATlOXS. The anti-trust law has recently been Interpreted diversely by two federal judges. It will be romemborcd that Judge Speor of the United States dis trict court in Georgia hold that rule 12 of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was plainly a rule or nn agreement in restraint of trade or com merce , and therefore obnoxious to the anti-trust law. Ho said that it will bo practically impossible hereafter for a body of men to combine t3 hinder and delay the work of a transportation com pany without becoming obnoxious to the provisions of the anti trust law and the interstate commoreo law , and ho also said that a combination or agreement of railroad otlicials or other representatives of capi tal , with the samo.olTect , will bo equally under the ban of these penal statutes. This was giving the law the most com prehensive application and tlio opinion of Judge Speer has been very generally commended. Indeed , that nnd the de cisions of Judges Tuft and Hicks wore regarded as of so much importance that the senate ordeied them to bo printed together as a pamphlet , pre sumably not only for the informa tion of senators , but also for general distribution. The opinion of ilndgo Speor has undoubtedly been more widely accepted as a sound interpreta tion of tho"ntatutes than the decisions of the judges in Ohio. Recently a decision was rendered by Judge Rinur of the United States dis trict court in Kansas which does not agree with that of Judiro Spoer regard ing the application of the anti-trust law. The government undertook to prosecute the Transmissouri Ptolght association under that act , asking that the as sociation should bo dissolved nnd the corporations constituting it forbidden to continue any agree ment or combination for the main tenance of rates , regulations or rules , the charge being that the association had suppro-sed competition and rates throughout a large district. The court hold that It was the purpose of c Jiigress , in passing the act of July 2 , IBM ) , that it should apply only to the trusts und cjm- blnations w hlch tlireatened to destroy the commercial and Industrial prosper ity of the country , and that It cannot bo used ug.Unit combination of railroad companlo3 designed to prevent competi tion in prices for the currying of freight. That It was not the intention ol that the anti-trust law nhutitil Imvo mich noopn iw .Iiuljju Spoor's opinion would glva U U not to bo doubted , hut that the law IH cupublo of Hiich broad application U hardly ques tionable , Tin-no illvursu judicial opinions cm- phasl/e the necessity of obtaining nn In terpretation of the statute from the tri bunal of last roHort with ns little delay as possible. The anti-trust law has been Invoked against combinations of worklngmon , for which It was certainly not Intended. It ought to bo speedily determined whether or not It Is appli cable to combinations of railroads which suppress competition In rates. nainixti Tin : COAI , COMIIIXK. The Minnesota legislative joint com mittee , appointed to Investigate the ex tortions of the coal combine , makes some astounding revelations respecting the methods of the cial lurons in their operations In that state. Tlio entire anthracite coal supply of that section is controlled by half a do/.en corporations , who claim to bo only agents of the eastern owners of the anthracite coal , but which claim the committee balleves to lie a mcro subterfuge resorted to by those companies , acting in collusion with the mine owners in the cast , to avoid payment of personal tax on the commodity. The principal managers of these cor porations concede that they meet an nually , with others llico Interested , in Now York City , from which point the decrees of the great national combine uro issued. "Starting from'thls home , or seat of the great owners of coal wrop- cirtlcs , " says thocommittoe , "tho serpen tine coils of this colossal and hydra- icadcd combination embrace the entire coal-consuming portion of the United States , and the black cloud of disaster md extortion spreads over the entire country by the vast ramifications of this conspiracy , bringing distress to every manufacturing industry and every fire side in oitr land , nnd indeed one of the ravest dangers that now threaten the Institutions of our country. " The committee directed the attention of the governor of the state to the evils the people are now sullering from this md similar vicious nnd dcmorali/.ing jombines. It urges prompt recourse to the courts for relief from the dangers that threaten them , and if the state authorities can ulTord no adequate rem edy , then that prosecutions shall bo in augurated against those combinations in the courts of the United States. The most direct course , and therefore un doubtedly the best , would bo to proceed against the combine in the federal court , as any person may do , under the anti trust law , who has suffered from its operation. That law provides that per sons injured by the trusts may sue and recover threefold the damages sustained from the trust , and if it can bo shown , as the report of the Minnesota legis lutivo joint committee nfllrms , that the coal combine In that state Is a part of the Anthracite Coal trust there can be no dllliculty in proceeding against it under the federal law , to which under the circumstances as reporteu by the committee It is clearly obnoxious. Some one who feels that ho has boon injured by this combine , and every one who \\as compelled to pay tribute to it for the privilege of doing business ought to feel so. would do a great public service by placing his case in the hands of the United States district attorney , who is required by the law to prosecute ot- fenders against it. Tin : popular demonstrations in Bel gium , which threatened to culminate in a revolution , have come to an end as the result of the action of the Chamber of Representatives in granting universal suffrage. Although commonly referred to us a strike the movement of workingmen - men in Belgium was purely political in its character , involving no question of wages or hours of labor or relations between employers and employed. It was a united and determined effort on the part of thousands of workingmen of all trades to compel the Chamber of Deputies to give them tlio suffrage and its success is a notable vic tory for the masses. What the consequences quences will bo to the country is another matter. Many of those who will now bo enabled to vote hold extreme views re garding the rights and duties of gov ernment , and as they will elect to the Chamber of Deputies men in harmony with their views they will doubtless in time bo able to effect radical changes in the government. However , these who believe in the right of every man to have a voice in the government which ho helps to maintain will ba gratilled at the success of the movement for universal suffrage in Belgium. THE agricultural exhibit for the World's fair is now being rapidly put In place , and promises to bo of peculiar in terest and value to farmers , horticultur ists and other tillers of the soil. The subdivisions of the exhibit include about everything that pertains to the natural products. Live stock growers will view an exhibit in the line of animal indus tries ; the forestry division will bo an in teresting display ; the bureau of paiml- ogy contains about 1,003 wax m xlols of various 'rults ; in the b iroau of entom ) logy there a o forty cases , graphically displayed , of the insect posts to vegetable life ; In the laboratory f bacteriological work will bo shown the culture of b.iotoria , which causes disease unnng animals , and among the pathological specimens is a group of about a hundred specimens il lustrating the o mtagious and lufeoious diseases among cattle , and another showing the various paraltoi that prey upon domestic animals. There is a mul titude of other exhibits equally as varied und instructive , which will bo fully appreciated b/ the farmer * who can i'md moans and opportunity for a visit to the exposition.

In a talk before the C.isino club here last niitht Mr James Mnonej has advanced some ideas about the Indian mcssiah and the "ghost dance" which will ho of interest to the readeisof TIIL Bi.i : Mr Mooney , who has been among the Arapahoos many jcars , believes the ghost dance is a sincere re ligious ceremony and harmless Speaking of the late outbreaks among the bioux , Mr Mooney held that the ghost dance was only incidental to the outmcaks The real cause was the failure of the government to carry out its piomisos These Indians were too ex perienced In waifaie to deliberately go on the warpath in the midst of winter and without provisions If the ghost tlauco had not been a more incident of the outbieaks wo should have found an uprising among all the ttibes where a belief in the messlah-cxisted The outbreaks cost the government and state of Nebraska about * l.lX,000 ( ) , besides the loss of life. Mr Mooney had closely watched the ghost dunce and was one of a very few white men wlio had been allowed to take a close view of the affair Mooney possessed the only picture of the mcssiah in existence , which was shown the club and the largo audience The messiah , Mr Mooney explained , was ! M years of age and lived In Mason Valley , Nov. He possessed a typical Piuto face. Many pictures of the battleileld at Wounded Knee were shown an 1 these wem followed bj a remarkable collection of photo graphs of Indians in the different phases of the ghost dance The belief Is that ftflor the dancers pot Into the tUgi of Insensibility they converse with nil tholr dead relatives and frtenus In the dancCt thn medicine men net ns ttypnollrors and tin dancers go through the stages of lroinbhng < high excitement , rigidity nnd Inscnslblllt ) There wore many government officials nnf scientists present to hear Mooney * Mujr ClmiiK Nc'irnnlw Surtoyn.
