THE LEGISLATURE.

there on the calendars are bills of mi-
norgiimportance ostentatiously intro-
measures. But more
the bills designed for personal and
ular measures after introduction find
friends only at odd intervals. The
bird book bill and the Marshall pipe
line bill are samples of the bills giving
profits to somebody. True the bird
book bill was vetoed, but the legisla-
ture passed it. That body whose
pseudo integrity moved it to give
gress, had not enough honesty to de-
stroy the Marshall bill

suasions of the Standard Oil Compa-

Tue present legislature beats the

Congress did a number of good things
and left things undone that
would have been good. But our state
legislature started out with schemes to
bankrupt the treasury, and to such an
extent that the Governor felt obliged
| to send them a special message of war-
ning. This is the first time in the his-

THE STANDARD WINS,

ing with ill-gotten gains; a Legisla-
ture with a two-thirds partisan major-
ity; and a complaisant Executive—
what security have the people that as
between themselves and such a corpo-
ration any regard will be paid to pop-
ular rights or constitutional limita-
tions?
The signing of the Marshall Pipe
Line bill repealing the Act of 1883 at
the instance of the Standard Oil Com-
pany answers the question. We re-
gret to say that the quibble by which
Governor Hastings justifies his action
condemns him. Ifthe Act of 1883 in
its application to individual owners of
pipe lines had been harsh or unuveces-
sary it would have been sufficient to
so amend it as to the case. If
the act had been unconstitutional the
parties injured thereby would have
had their remedy in the Courts. But
such amendment or procedure would
not have helped the Standard Oil Com-
pany to obtain control of all competing
pipe lines, and thus to have bottled up
the ifidependent producers and refin-
ers by cutting off their access to sea-
board markets. The Marshall act re-
peals the Act of 1883, root and branch,
makes the Standard Oil Company
master of the situation, destroys com-
petition, and puts a brand upon every
consenting party to the transaction, —

ONE of the most intelligent and lev.

gers of 15 years good standing in that
creditable order, takes no stock in the
new law creating a state department
of agriculture, with its platoon of sa-
laried officers and clerks, made up of
politicians and “farmer” howling de-
magogs, who, with their new and ex-
pensive Department won't benefit a
single farmer to the extent of a pin’s
head.
That granger's head is level. He al-
80 asserts that in the grange no oppor-
tunity was given to fairly discuss the
merits of this new fangled idea of cre-
ating this “agricultural department’’
which will not enable the farmer to
raise a peck more of grain or get a far-
thing more in price for it.
Bome orders are having self-styled
and self-constituted “committees on
legislation’ which is simply a cover
for the detested lobbyist,
How comes it that on so all-impor-
tant a measure to the anti-monopoly
grange and all other people, this “com-
mittee on legislation” was as dumb as

give an idea of what we propose to do for the next 80 days. You will
remember that we have sold goods cheaper the past season than has
ever been known before. Now we have made the above reduction
even from that basis. We must move our winter stock as we propose
