The question of prosecuting the Coal
trust Is a matter which is still In the
thought of the American people and
will never be dismissed until some sc
Uon Is taken by the general govern
ment to subject the combination to the
laws atmlicable to them. Of all the
objectionable monopolies In the country
there Is none so oppressive as the an
thraclte coal monopoly, because It af
fects more generally than any other the1
comfort and welfare of the people. The
experience of the past two years fur
nlshes all the argument that is needed
In evidence of this and It also supplies
most positive proof of the necessity of
a determined policy, on the part of both
the national government and the govern'
ment of Pennsylvania, that will bring
the great coal monopoly to something
like a realization of its obligations to
the public.
According to advices from Washing
ton, sufficient evidence has been devel
oped In the investigation of the anthra
cite coal-carrying roads by the Inter
state TJommerce commission to warrant
the Institution of a suit by the govern
ment It Is said that should such fic
tion be ordered by the Department of
Justice proceedings will be begun In
the near future In the federal courts,
under the supervision of the attorney
general. The talk from Washington Is
that the Department of Justice Is as
active now as It has ever been In study
ing the application of the anti-trust laws
and there Is no doubt that such is the
case. There is no reason to doubt that
the administration is Just as earnest to
day as it has been at any time in the
past three years to enforce the anti
trust law and that It will be Just as
persistent in the future as It Is today
in this respect.
There Is one simple policy on the part
of the Roosevelt administration and that
Is to carry out the law. This is what
it has been doing from the . beginning
and will continue to do to the end. It
is a perfectly frank and fearless ad
ministration, appealing not to the preju
dices but to the best thought and the
conservative sentiment of the American
people. It Is not at war with the busi
ness interests of the country, but pro
poses to protect the people against the
exactions, and oppressions of monopoly.
What it has already done in this dlrec
tlon is familiar to the country and gives
an assurance of the future if the present
administration shall be ," retained in
power.' In that event the country will
have the assurance that none of the
principles or policies under. which the
nation has grown to Its present mag
nificent industrial and commercial pro
portions will be changed, but that every
one of these will be preserved, and that
the republican party will protect the
people not only against the Coal trust
but against every other monopoly that
may be inimical to the public. Interest

THK COSTRABAWD QVM3T101. ; ,
-It Was inevitable that the war-In the
east would Introduce new Issues as7to
what is contraband of war, so that the
question In regard to this raised by the
Russian government is not at alt. sur
prising. The contention now made by
Russia is that all foodstuffs are contra
band and to thla the British government
has raised objection, which we think
will very' generally sustained by the
civilized world. At all events the po
sition heretofore taken by the United
States unquestionably commits this
country against the Russian contention.
The American view is very naturally
and very properly that foodstuffs are
not contraband of war unless they are
destined to a belligerent In other words,
a shipload of flour or beef or anything
else Intended for general consumption,
in a country engaged In war cannot be
regarded as contraband, the only Justi
fication for regarding any commodity as
contraband being when It is shipped or
unmistakably destined to a port in oc
cupancy of a belligerent. ' In such a
case It' would be clearly intended for
use by the naval or military force of the
belligerent and would be subject to
scixure, but otherwise, that Is if In
tended for general consumption, it would
not bo contraband. This is the view
that has been uniformly taken by the
United States and which there is reason
to ei'eot will be sustained by Great
Britain.
ALBVO.0BRQUK TO THB FORK.
Our whilom citizen, Judge Benjamin
S. Baker, will be called on for an ex
planation if he should take the notion
Into bis head to visit Chicago. As the
avowed champion of Albuquerque he
may find himself compelled to throw
some X-rays upon the perplexing ques
tion why the fastidious amateurs of
music of the New Mexican metropolis
have engaged Lillian Russell, the fore
most native light opera prima donna for
the honor of opening the new theater at
Albuquerque in place of the renowned
Italian prima donna, Mme. Sembrich,
who was originally engaged for that
momentous occasion. Up to date the
only explanation that bas reached the
world of music appears In the Chicago
Inter Ocean In the shape of a citation
of the following remarks by the local
manager of the Albuquerque grand opera
bouse:
I hops you realise, gentlemen, that con
nected with -this Weber at fields company
la tha greatest of all, living or dead.
prima donnas. I refer, of course, to Miss
Lillian Russell. Not only Is Ulna Russell
tbs greatest of all songstresses, but Just
remember, gentlemen, right hare In our
very town no less than ten brands of cigars
have been named after her In the past Ave
years. Of course, this Mm. Sembrich
may be all very well In her way, but we've
only got New Tork's word for It; we are
nut at all sura that she ran deliver the real
goods we want; whereas, gentlemen, when
we secure Mlsa Russell we get sure thlsg.
Now, what the people of tb United
States want to know is whether Judge
Ruker has tested any of the Lillian
Russell fivers, and whether they come
up to the standard of the genuine
Ilavanas fabricated In Santa Fe under
tl hrand nt. "T.s Ksvortta.'" or whHher
the brag ajboat the Lillian Rnssell brand
Is a snare and a delusion.

The State Board of Railroad Assess
ment made the discovery that the Chi
cago Great Western la subject to .as
sessment and taxation for Its right-of-
way, roadbed, rolling stock and fran
chises recently acquired within the city
of Omaha. The Great Western Is, how
ever, not the only railroad that owns
valuable right-of-way privileges within
the boundaries of Douglas county that
Justly should be subject to taxation, al
though hitherto exempt.
The Chicago dc Northwestern has ac
quired trackage and lease privileges
within the boundaries of Omaha and
South Omaha that have not been In
cluded In its general mileage, and so
have the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
and Illinois Central railroads. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, which has
a right-of-way over the Union Pacific
bridge and over its tracks into South
Omaha, under lease, is also subject to
taxation just the same as the Pullman
company, whose cars are running over
the various lines; and the refrigerator
and palace cattle cars and express cars
that are operated within the state of
Nebraska.
The ownership of the roadway and
rails does not necessarily constitute the
essential element of a railroad franchise
The leasehold of the roadway consti
tutes a valuable asset of a railroad and
should by rights be subject to taxation
in proportion to its mileage value, Just
the same as any other property.
A BRITISH fROTBST.
The legislation of congress extending
the coastwise laws to the Philippine
islands, which will have the effect of
excluding all foreign vessels from trade
between the United States and the ar
chipelago after July-1, 1006, has brought
a protest from the British government
This was to have been expected, but It
is not probable that our government
will give It any serious attention. The
question of applying our coastwise laws
to the Philippines waa very fully con
sidered and discussed at the last ses
sion of congress and the action taken
was the result of careful deliberation.
It was at first proposed that this policy
should go Into effect the present year.
but It was pointed out that If this were
done American Interests would prob
ably suffer, chiefly for the reason that
there are not enough of our own ships
to carry the products between the United
States and the archipelago. There was
a question as to this and the result of
tho controversy was to postpone for two
years the application of the act of con
gress extending the coastwise laws to
the Philippines. There are some who
doubt the expediency of this policy, on
the ground that the effect, will be detri
mental to the business of the Philip
pines and consequently a drawback to
the commercial interests of the islands,
but th opinion in congress was that It
was the only proper policy In -order to
give the United States its merited po
sition in connection with the trade of
Its Oriental possession. The British pro
test . will ' doubtless receive respectful
consideration at Washington, but It Is
not at all probable that the position of
congress in the matter will be changed.

The cost of police protection In Ameri
can cities constitutes a very considerable
Item of the expense of municipal gov
ernment. A comparison of the pay rolls
of police departments of American cities
with populations of over 100,000 Justlflesl
the assertion that police protection costs
less' In Omaha in proportion to popula
tion and area covered than in any other
American city. According to the last
bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Labor, the average yearly ap
propriation for maintaining the police
departments in the six principal cities
in America Is: New York, $10,000,000;
Chicago, $3,600,000; Philadelphia, $3,
000,000; Boston. $1,700,000; Baltimore,
$970,000. This is equal to $3 per capita
for New York, $2 for Chicago, $2.75 for
Boston, $2.25 for St. Louis and $1.75
for Baltimore. Police protection in
Omaha has been only $1 per capita for
the last two years. It will be noted
that St. Louis pays half a million dollars
a year more for the maintenance of Its
police department than Is expended by
Omaha for the maintenance of its whole
city government
A Des Mo'nes doctor has discovered
that the trolley car germ causes ap
pendicitis and all persons using the
street car are warned to keep an eye
on the trolley microbe. Chicago doctors,
however, disagree with the Des Moines
bacteriologist and pronounce bis allege!
discovery all rot but the Chicago doctors
do not themselves all agree as to the
true cause Of appendicitis. ' One of them
says that while appendicitis has been
charged up to everything from flea bites
to rays of the Aurora Borealis, It Is
caused by no specific germ, but by ex
posure or fatigue. Another Chicago
medical man Bays it Is due to Infection.
A third declares that It originates from
germs, but not from a trolley germ. One
doctor goes so far even as to declare
that riding on a street car is healthful,
the Jolts and jars one receives acting as a
sort of auto-massage, which strengthens
the Internal organs. Where doctors dis
agree so widely It will be safe for every
one to ludulge his own pleasure and
comfort.
Among the instructions issued by
Judge Taylor to the grand Jury now
sitting in St Louis Is the following
paragraph:
The court would especially Impress upon
you that you have neither the legal nor the
moral right to administer punishment by
returning Indictments simply because you
have a suspicion that some one accused of
aa offense. Is guilty or has failed to live up
to an Ideal standard of morality.
That hits the nail square'y on the
bead. Well defined rumors do not con-
fltuU sufficient ground for grand Jury
Indictments. There must be substantial
proof sufficient to Justify (bt belief that
the party indicted will be convicted In
a court of Justice.
The World's Fair management has
paid to the United States $195,057.04,
being 40 per cent of the gross receipts
of the fair since the gates opened. This
shows total gross receipts for forty-six
days of $487,042.60, which would be but
little less than $2,121,000 for the entire
time of the exposition. It owes the gov
ernment $4,600,000. Omaha's exposition
still bids fair to be unique from the
standpoint of successful financing.
Farker's western manager declares the
judge to be . already practically nomi
nated. We presume he will allow the
St Louis convention to be held, how
ever, If only to give Mr. Bryan a chance
to tell what he thinks of the situation.
Negative Ylrtnes aad Active Faults.

Still, tha "purely negative virtues" of
Judge Parker, referred to by Mr. Bryan,
might be more available in a democratic
candidate for president than the active
faults of a nominee who has twice been
repudiated by the voters of the country.
Lawyers Fall Oat and Fight.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Within orje hour after a child had met
with an accident In our streets six lawyers
were nagging at her parents to hire them
to bring suit for damages. They finally
fell to righting among themselves over the
prior right to the parents. Is there no way
to suppress these creatures?

New York Tribune.
Secretary Hitchcock says the result in
Oregon is due to the stern probing of the
land frauds by the administration. The
people of the west like a brave man, and
they admire a president brave enough to

own party and however high they may be.
Cities as Borrowers.
Philadelphia Record.
Cities are borrowing very large sums of
money. In Ave months the municipal bond
sales have amounted to 1190,402,39$, which
exceeds the aggregate of any full year
prior to 1902. But money comes higher
than It did recently. Less than 12.000,000
of then bonds were per cents. The 3H
per cents have shrunk from 64 to 40 per
cent oi tne total in a single year, ino
per cents have grown from 12 to 35 per
cent, and the higher rates have also In
creased. .

MR. KNOX AND THB TRUSTS.
Sample Instance of Rldienlons Talk
by "Oar Friends, the Enemy."
Philadelphia Press (rep.).
How utterly empty. Inane and ridiculous
all this democratic talk that the trusts
made Philander C. Knox United Btates
senator in order to get him out of the at
torney generalship and paralyse the prose
cution of the trusts! '
It la empty and Inane because It will be
so easy to prick the bubble and let all the
gas out of It Do these famishing issue
seekers forget that President Roosevelt will
appoint the successor of Mr. Knox as at
torney general T Do they Imagine that he
will not take good care to appoint m suc
cessor whose very name will stamp the
hollowness of their foolish cry? Do they
suppose that Mr. Knox acute, masterful
and luminous as he is Is the only lawyer
In the country capable of carrying on ths
policy which has been so sbly and success
fully Inaugurated? '
Suppose the president should appoint
Joseph H. Choate attorney general, what
will become of the balloon they are now so
Industriously Inflating? In the face of any
such designation their pretense will be seen
to be preposterous. Do they think they
can. fool the people with the idea that a
Choate cannot follow a Knox? Or do they
i fancy that they can make the people be
lieve that Theodore Roosevelt Is Insincere
and - dishonest aad shamming? That Is
what their proposition comes to. To say
that the policy has been changed by trans
ferring Mr. Knox to the aenate is to say
that the president Is faithless to himself.
If they want to raise that Issue right at
the beginning of the campaign, with all the
president's opportunities, they are welcome
to It!
And, then, don't they see how they tfon
tradlct and stultify themselves? When -they
portray Mr. Knox as the one trust butter
whom it Is necessary for the trusts to get
out of the attorney generalship they con
fess that their previous talk hss all been
truthless and worthless. They have in
sisted that the trust policy of the adminis
tration has not been earnest and honest.
Now theV say it has been, and so earnest
and honest that the trusts try to disarm It
by translating Its legal champion. If they
expect to produce any effect, wouldn't It
be well to stick to one line of representa
tion for at least a week?
Their talk with reference to Mr. Knox
himself went through the same tortuous
course. Like every strong lawyer In these
days Mr. Knox, In his practice at the bar,
had corporations as well as Individuals
among his clients. When he wss appointed
attorney general the outcry was that a
trust lawyer had been put there to shield
the trusts. Now the same people are say
ing that he has been taken out of ths at
torney generalship In order that the trusts
may be saved! Do they fancy thst other
people's memories are aa short as their own,
seem to be?
It Is foolish to undertske to set up a

The arrogant and' dictatorial character of
Theodore Roosevelt causes the democrats
of Nebraska to sigh for some such man as
Andrew Jackson to guide the republic back
Into the peaceful paths of quiet and orderly
government It is a seductive proposal,
especially where Mr. Bryan thoughtfully
Invokes the Clevelandlan legend that
"public office ' Is a public trust." Nobody
but a second Andrew Jackson could .suc
cessfully carry out this program, for his
guiding principle was "to the .victors belong
the spoils." Yes, we need a Jackson to re
form the civil service.
But It is when we 'come to contemplate
the dictatorial habit of Theodore Roosevelt
that' tha need of a milder-mannered and
leas bellicose man like Andrew Jackson
appears most pressing. Time would fail to
tell of the salnt-ltke youth and subdued
maturity of "Old Hickory." When he went
to Salisbury to study law, they called him
the most roaring, rollicking, gamecocklng,
horseraclng, cardplaylng, mischievous fel
low ever seen In this town." It Is supposed
that Jackson's penchant for fighting led
