THE OLD CAUCUS TRAP.

Monopoly organs in this state were
in haste to record the fact that Con.
gresham Valentine had introduced a
bill looking toward the taxation of
unpatonted lands claimed by the rail-
way companies. The purpose was ev-
ident. The newspapers that paraded
this ''heroio" and latter day effort of
Mr.. Valentine evidently assumed that
the people would at oney deduos
from this act another, to-wit: That
Valentine and those who supported
him and with whom he and his forces
will labor shortly to elect 4 United
Ststes senator, yer anti-monopolists
good and true. As the time draws
near when the legislature Of this
state will meet at which q sen.
stor must be chosen, it be-.
came highly important to carry
the conviction to anti-monopoly no.
publicAns that Valentine is all right
on the n'i.monOpoly question; and
more Important still, that these anti.
monopoly republicans should draw the
inference from Valentines bill that
his friends, who will labor at Lincoln
to secure their man for senator, were,
like Valentine, good anti-monopoIy
republicans. 1t was one of those acts
that q little political magician would
quite naturally hold up to the gaze of
men whom he too frequently assumed
are ready to applaud deception. Old
"Joey bagstock" would probably OK
claim "deyilish CLEVER" but then joey
did not live in this age. Men who
know why they are anti monopolists
are not so ready to DO caught with a
clever trick, and drawn into the hoped
for Irregular" republican "oaucus," on
which all the hopes Of the monopolists
are based to secure a monopolist for
senator. Aside from the radical diff.

AssILL to regulate interstate com.
merce has been agreed upon by the
hosee committee on commerce, which

through this bill the creation of o rail.
road commission that will be limitedin
power to the gathering of statistics
about the railroad traffic and submit.
ting a.report Of its fl findings to the next

What the country wants Is laws that
will prohibit extortions discrimination
and favoriteism by railroads under &C.
we're panalties-laws that will prohibit
stock watering and credit mobilier
construction companies. Such lava
can be enforced through the federal
courts, and it should be made the
duty of tie United States district at

the committee on m cannot
frame such laws they had better leave
the question of regulating inter- state

IT Is doubtful whether the advantage
from two cent postage will be as great
az has been predicted by the advocates
OF that reform. The penny postal
card affords a very cheap medium for
all intercourse that can be carried on

Pelled to communicate by letter would
do 80 just as often at three cents per
letter as they will at two cents. OF
course business men, and especially
bankers who have q large correspond.
encs will profit by the reduction, bat
we doubt very much whether any
bank or merchsnt would increase the
number of his letters one per cent be-
cause they go through the mail for
less than three cents each. OF courae
ii the government can carry letters
for two cents without loss it Ia proper
that the reduction be made.
