of tho meat trust, and that his address
was an effort to get tho trust's side of

its endorsement. The question was
hotly debated for nn hour. Thurbe

His principal topi.
Among other things
There is in our country a peculiar
difficulty in the way of exercising such
supervision and control, because of the
peculiar division of government.il
power. When the industrial conditions
were slmplo, very littlo control was
needed and no trouble was caused bv
the doubt aa to whero power was lodged
under the constitution. Now condl
tlons aro complicated, and wo find it
difficult to frame national legislation
which shall be adequate, while as a
matter of practical experience stato ac
tion nas proved entirely insumcient
and in all human probability cannot or
will not bo made sufficient to meet the
needs of the case. I belioro that the
nation mnst nssume this power of con
trol by legislation, and if it becomes ev-
ident that the constitution will not
permit needed legislation, then by
constitutional amendment.
The immediate need in dealing with
trusts is to place them under tho real
not nominal control of some sovereign
to which, as its creature, the trusts
shall owe allegiance, and in whoso
courts the sovereign's orders may with
certainty be enforced. In my judg
ment this sovereign must be the nir
tional government. When it lias been
given lull power, then Ihls lull power
can be used to control any evil Intlu
ence, exactly as the government is now
using the full power conferred upon it
under tho Sherman anti-trust law.
Even when the full power has been
con erred, it would be highly nndesir-
able to attempt too much, or to begin
by stringent legislation. The mechan
ism of the modern business is as deli
cute and complicated as it is vast, and
nothing would be mare productive of
evil to all of u, and especially to those
least well oil in tins world's goods,
tban ignorant meddling with this
mechanism, and above all if the med
dling was done in a spirit of sectional
or class rancor..
It is desirable that this power should
be possessed by the nation, but it 1b
quite as desirable that the power should
be exercised with moderation and self
restraint. The first exercise of .that
power should be the securing of public
ity among all the great corporations
doing an interstate business. The
publicity, though non-inquisitorial,
should be real and thorough as to all
important facts with which tbo public
has concern, Hie lull light ol day is a
great discourager of evil. Such pub
licity would by itself tend to correct
the evils of which there is just com
plaint, and where the alleged evils are
imaginary it would tend to show tbat
Euch Is the case.
When publicity is attained it would
then be possiblo to see what further
should be done in the way of reguia.
tiqn. Above all, it behooves us to
remember not only that wo ought to
try to do what we can. but that our
success in doing it depends very mucii
upon our neither attempting nor exe
cuting the impossible.

Land Decision of Importance Rendered by
Secretary of Interior,
Lowiston, Idaho, Aug. 22. Word
has been received from Washington
that tho secretary of tho Interior has
roverscd the commissioner's decision
in tho rase of Robert J. Littlo vs. John
W. Bradbury.
This is tho ease In which it was at
leged that Mr. Bradbury mutio and
filed n timber mid stone, entry in tho
local land olllco after tho hour ol clos
lug on tho 18th day of last January
which was Saturday. Monday morn
lng 8. J. McFarlnnd offered scrip ap
plication for tho snmo land embraced
in Bradbury's ontiy; tho register of
tho local land olllco rejected tho vrli
application as being lit conflict with
tlio entry made by Bradbury. From
this action McFurlaml took an appeal
to tho commissioner, and filed affidavits
that Bradbury a application was ro
ceivod alter olllco hours.
Tho commissioner sustained tho ac
tion of tho register.
Commissioner Is Reversed.
An appeal was taken to the secretary
of the Interior, who now reverses
tho commissioner and holds that tho
"general circular of July 11, 1800
(page 233) under tho bead of registers
and ' receivers, directs that: 'They

keeping tlio same open for tho transac
tion of businoss Irom Da. in. till 4 p. in
" 'Applications lor entry cannot bo
received by the register or receiver on
of olllco huurs nor elsewhere than at
their ollli-e.
"While thoro Is no statute forbidding
them so acting, there is no statute
authorizing tlieui to act. Tho reguia
tlons for their conduct not In contra
vention of statute have all the force of

is given opportunity for thorn to exor
cise favoritism and partiality, whlcl
might lead t crave mischiefs, tho In

SOUTH AFRICAN BLACKS.
Upon Their Attitude Depends to a Orcat
Cxtcnt That Country's Future.
London, Aug. 22. Mall advices re
ceived from Johannesburg indicate that
tho negro problem is growing more
acute and is causing the authorities
infinite worry. To quote tho words of
ono of tho foremokt African author!
ties:
"tin tho quostinn of tlio natives de
pends the wliolo futuro of tho new
colonies whether the Boers will
loyally accept British rule or continue
in a state of sullen resentment
Among tlio immediate dangers nafTfc
attacks on Boers returning to tholr
farms and attempts of tlio natives to
assault white women are threatening
serious conflicts bctneen Boors and
blacks. Under the old regime the
crude but simple retribution lor
assaults on women was shooting on
sight. ?ow, however, there is no
legislation on the subject and tho Eng
lish authorities are hesitating to enact
laws until all parties concerned can
voice their opinions. Tlio hesitancy to
deal summarily with tho natives is
causing both Boers and Africanders in
tense Irritation and encourages tho
blacks to truculent effrontery.
"Another phaso of tho problem Is
the unwillingness of tho blacks to foro-
go their lazv existence in the conccn
trntion camps, where thousands were
gathered during the war, and far more
serious is tlio fact that a great number
of blacks in tho country have managed
to secure arms. There Is, therefore,
the anomalous situation of unarmed
whites and armed blacks living In
proximity on outlying farms. Expert
encod Britisli colonials strongly favor
universal disarmament of tho natives
and prompt legislation making assaults
on women a capital olTenso."

stormy. At the "end of an hour and a
half the delegates withdrew, leaving

licly known as to what took place, but
it is understood that the gonerals found

He said there was no chance of ar

gave it as his opinion that tho miners

"It will not lo a short tight," wild
ho. "It will be prolonged, and such

the increase in the price of coal."
Ho said lie considered tlio refusal of
the operators to arbitrate as final.
"I talked with Sir. Morgan before ho
went to I-.uropo, continued the sen
ator, "and lieioro tlio strike was fully
under way. lie doplored the situation
but would tsku no active part toward

fur seal similar to thoro found on Pry
byloff islands. Botildyor is lietneeu

fully 3,500 miles from San Franclsro,
but still , within tho United Hates
Jurisdiction. I.leutuiiuiit lierthoff ap

observe that nonu of thu souls hud been
branded, and there was no sign that
white men in search of peals hud ever
been noar the island. Tlio Manning
will continue M'Jrehln to discover If

considered Important by thu olliclals
here, In view of the gradual decline of
tho fur seal In thu l'rybyloff islands.
