Tho south is to be kept solid at every hazard and ademocratic southert mob is no respecter of persons. 1t will insult or assuull a woman as readily as it will a wan, If the outrages perpeteated upon Gen- eral Weaver and his corapanions are not resented intolerance will grow in the south. The most eficctive way to cnt them is to maie a solid north and 1d 1 intelligent populist ¢ that unless this is dono und Cloveland is defeated the result will be in effect an endorsen clect avepublican president. hit to seo ut of the southern outrage upon the candidate of the people’s party The election of Cleveland, whether by tho ele or by the house of representatives, would place the south- ern democracy in contvol of the govern- ment and should know what to ex- veet from that, With the and congress subject to the witl of that element of the democrnatic party the country would have o bitter expeviencs during the next four years. The election of General Weaver is impossible, and ho can get no electoral voles except, perhaps, in states that are now counted as being republican. This would be to tho advantage of Mr, Cleve- land, so that it is entirely correet to that a vote for Weaver is a vote for Cloveland, Former ropublicans who are toral college W executive now with the populists cannot prefer Clevelund to Harrisou, and all such must soe that uniess they vote for the latter they wili certainly he the election of the demoeratic P to secure andidate, Under existing cireumstances they could muke no graver mistako than to do ths, Southern intolerancs and outrago must be rebuked, and the most effect- ive way todo it is by elc sting o repub- lican presidont { LONG AND SHORT HAUL DECISION A most important judiclal decision re- i latiug to tho long and short haul cluuse commaree law, which will affuet evary railroad 1n tha United States, delivered last Monday by Judge Brower of the United States court of appeals of the Eighth cireuit. The farveaching effoct and nationa! import- ance of the decision consists in the fact Was | that it is a reversal of the hitherto pre- vailing consteuction of the long and short haul clause, and thus upsets the basis on which rest tho tariff charges of every railroaa in the country. situting a revision of necas- rates, 'ho de- | cision declures the foundation supports i2g the railroad legislation of the west- orn states to rest upon an erroneous g, intent and legal effect of the much discussed clause, and it wipes out of oxistence the vast code COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION DEDICATION ‘1)' rules that has beon adopted for the | regulation 8 railrond matters, The decision holds that no railrond is peauired $5 Ateange itd loosl Faves on | the bisis of 1ts through ratos, and that | through rates fre ontirely distinet from | local ratss whenever the through rate | is established by & combination batween | two more roads that if a raileoad o In other words, has a through rate from a point west of Chicago to the sea- board, and the part of the through ra given the roal from Chicago westward to tho shipping point is less than the the railrord charges for s'milar freight batween the shipping point and Chicago, yet such a state of facts consti- tutes no violation of the long and short haul clause. The opinion goes so'far as to hold that if two companies by agreo ment make u joint taviff over both lines. orany partof their lines, such a joint tarifY is not the basis by which the roa- sonableness of the local tariff of either line is to be determined. A fine distinction is drawn by the de- on ths mining of the word ine,” Itis hoeld that when two com- panies owning lines unito fna joint through tariff they form of connected roadsa new and inde pendent line, The two railroads havoe then becomo threo lines, and each may on coaneeting establish tes for itsell. On this dis- tinction the entire opinion hangs, the language of the decision being *‘that where two companios owning connect ing lines of voad unite in a joint through tariff, they form for tho con- necting roads practically a new and independent line. Neither compang is bound to adjust its own bocal taviff to suit the othor, nor compollable to make - joint tarill with it. It may insist m charging its local rates for all usportation over its line. If, theve L two companies by agreement mako ajoint taciff ovor their iines or any part of their 1 such foint tarifl is not o basis by which the reasonableness of the tavifi of e line is de- terinined.” Obviously effect of this decision mustbe to revolutionize the tariffs of the roads of the country as adjusted to the iong and short haul clause of tho interstite commerce act. 108, loeal her tho an VOICH A convention of representati OF LABOK ves of the of New York met a few du and adopted a plat- form. Thisdeclares it to be the purpose of the alliance 1o promote the welfare of American workers, to provide remedies for evils that menace the inter- osts of labor, and to help to perpetuate the ceconomie principles lying at the root of our national prosperity. The plat form endorses the poiicy of protection, and says: “We know through experi- once that protection means high wages and socinl comforts and luxuries for workingmen, while free trade moans low wages, poverty and degradation.” Reciprocity was endorsed, and the fol- lowing utterance was made regarding the curvency: “Honest money is abso- lutely essential to the prosperity of workingmen, and any changein the laws which regulate banks and banking is to be condemned when the result of such change throatons us with the evils that were associated with the wildeat banks of thirty ye! T'he coneluding Industreial Alliance s ago wire rs ago.” plank of the platform is an endorsement sidential ecandidates, a of therepublican pr This utteran representative v of Now Yor ingmen cannot farl to have an important influence upon the campaign and the election in that state, and it will doubtless have more or less effect upon the minds of working- men throughout the east. New York is a great manufacturing state, and the men whoare employed in its vast and variea industries know what they are talking ubout when they declare in favor of maintaining the policy of Amer- ican protection. They have had the hest possiblo onportunity to witness its working and experience its effects upon lavor, and are prepared to speak from a clear knowledge of what it has accom- plished in elovating and improving the condition of labor., The evidence of its benelits is to be found in their homes, in the swelling volume of their savings bank deposits and tho comforts they enjoy in comparison with the labor of any other land, > of Wi What is true of the workingmen of New York applies equally to those of other states where manufacturing in- austries have been largely developed. The weatifying labor statistics of New York are complemented by thoso of Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, Ohio and [linois weuld undoubtedly upon inves- tigation show a like state of facts, The ith is that American labor us a whole hus never been more prosperous than it is now, and in 1o other country are the rewards of labor ncarly as generous us they are here. Comparisons of wages in this country and in free trade Bngland for like cmployments show that the ad- vantage is immensely in favor of the American workingman, and tho differ ence isstill greater when comparison is made with other Furopean countries. To protend that this happy condition of things is not due to protection is to dis- credit evidence of the most convine- ing und conclusive chavacter. It is not ensy to understand how any intelligent workingman can doubt that the only safeguard for A mevican labor is that policy which fosters and builds up American industries, A MOsT sha charge published vesterday thut neless fake was the by the World-Herald Omaha mail carrviors taking o consus of republican voters, Before the publication a ve- porter of that sheet was emphatically told that there was not the slightesy semblance of truth in the story, The editor deliberately perpetrated a fake in order that his news venders might have another (orld- Herald sensation to hawk upon thoe streets. The public, happily, has becomo accustomed to thut kind of newspaper work and discounts each succeeding ‘“‘scnsation” accord- ingly.
