THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

The dispatches yesterday morning re-
presented the business of the Republi-
can National committee as substantially
completed by the election OF a perma-
nent Chairman and the choice of Chi
cago as the place of the next meeting of
of the Republican National Convention.
The vexed question of new basis of
representation was left over till the Aeet-
ing of the National Convention.
Mr.. Dwight M. Sabln, the new Chair
man, is a senator from the state of
Minnesota; a good man, belonging to u
good type of men, q New Highlander
who came West or rather northwest, in
good season, and has grown to promin-
ence with the growth of his great state:
a business man, not given TO speech
making, but with boundless capacity for
work. He represents great and grow
ing section of the country, always loyal
to Republicaniem.
In choosing Chicago as the place for
holding the next Republican Convention
the committee adopted the first choice of
many and the second choice of all. Chi
cagO has been repeatedly tried and not
been found wanting. Il is, too, lucky
locality for the Republican party. Eff
forts were maae 10 induce the holding
of the Convention at some watering,
or summer resort. like Saratoga or
Chatauqua, but the committee, very
properly we think, decided that ma
tional meeting, like National Conven-
ton of the Republican party, ought not
to meet in the woods but at a centre of
commerce and business and population,
where the beating of the popular heart
can be heard.
The committee before adjourning, ex-
pressed its sympathy with those whose
rights have been trampled upon, and
whose ballots have beel wrested from
their hands and trsmpled in the mire.
This is precisely what no Democratic
National Committee ever has done or
ever will do.
The committee, IN ITS call, framed a
national platform. Read 1t:
Republican electors of the several
states, and all other voters, without re-
gard to past political differences, who
are in favor of elevating and dignifying
American labor, extending and protect
ing home industry, giving free popular
education to the masses of the peODle.
securing free suffrage and honest count
ing OF the ballots, effectually protecting
all human rights in every section of our
common country, and who desire to
promote friendly feeling and public
harmony throughout the land by secur-
ing national government pledged to
these objects and principles, are eordial-
" invited etc.
This is plain, open and above board
Here is a platform big enough to hold
any man with heart and soul bio
enough to understand it-TAtehison
Champion.

Five thousand persons witnessed
the great performance, the occasion
that drew them to the park being the
grand circuit trotting meeting. After
the usual trotting and pacing matches
| JAY Eye-SGe was brought out to make
an effort to beat his own record of 2:l+

cellent condition. When he got the

forward on what was to prove the fast
est mile ever trotted in New England

proved it to lie the case, that the mar
velous animal put forth new energy
and added strength and swiftness to
his pace as he shot along the track
passing the third quarter in 100, and
making the finish i'll 2:l04.
The spectators yelled themselves
hoarse. The cheering had begun when
the half mile was made, and it grew
louder and louder as the flyer skinned
down the home stretch until, when he
passed under the wire, the spectators
had risen TO their feet and mounte
the seats in the excess of their enthu-
SiaSm.
Jay-Eye-See is black gelding, and
was named by spelling the initials OF

These new railroad companies that
invite titled foreigners to take trips
over their lines, thinking it will be a
big advertisement, have found their
mistake. The titled persons so on the
excursions, and for the time being own
the roads, TO all intents and purposes,
They expect the railroad to feed them
furnish the best wines, and even paw
for backing their boots. And they
kick constantly a0ont everything. One
Titled person hes cost a railroad COM
pany about five hundred dollars a day,
while he was its guest, and could nj
advertise The road rs much in a life
time as the poorest editor of the small
est weekly paper in the country. WHY.
\ single newsboy could do more for
the railroad than the Earl of Onslow.
and the newsboy would board him
self. The railroads have done an nm
wise thing in catering to the titled
foreigners, because hereafter when
they give passes to editors, the editors
Will insist on the same eourtesies that
have been granted to titled persons,
and they will have them or they won't
ride. We learn that after the recent
Willard excursion on the Northern
Pacific road. MIR. Willard offered pass
to Mr.. Northrop, one of the editors
of the st. Paul Pioneer Press, and
requested him to go out over the road.
Mr.. Northrop was indignant, when in.
formed that he was expected to ride ia

4 ne would not go unless furnished with
special car. with wines. and a lug.
gage van, and plenty of servants. He
said he was no ear. but he was a de-
cendant or the Duke of Stevens Point

THE DEMOCRAT.

Geo. Crawford. Robt. M. Crawford
EDITORS AND PROPRIETOR
Albert Fink. railroad commissioners

Albert Fink. railroad commissioner,
of New York, recently told the SEN
ate sub committee on education and
labor, that he thought the pooling of
rates by railroad lines in the end
proved beneficial to the public. Mr..
Fink is not the only witness before
the committee who appeared not to
realize that competition is the life of
trade" In fact it is surprising how
many witnesses expressed themselves
IN favor of the regulation of prices
by combinations or monopolies. If
no other lesson can be learned from
the evidence taken by this committee,
it can be easily seen, if we take the
witness as a representative American
citizens, that the work of combinations
in regulating prices meets with too
great favor in this country. Railroad
companies and telegraph companies
are not the only monopolies. In many
lines Of trade combination prices rule
and it is only now and then when the
thieves fall out that those prices are
broken, and the purchaser gets his
goods as he always ought to, in an
open and fair market. Runners are
seLt out from different wholesale
houses all with the same prices
Country merchants are given these
| figures and they must accept them
IL they ask for a reduction, they are
told by the runner that there can be
no deviation from regular prices, that
his house has taken an iron-clad oath
to stand by them, and that he would
be discharged if he should sell goods
cheaper. SO, willingly or unwillingly
the merchant takes the goods, at the
arbitrary prices. and of course in turn
makes his customers foot the bills
This sort of practice by men standing
high in business circles. is looked
upon by business men generally as in
the natural order of things, and all
kinds of corrupt and short sighted
combinations are formed, and are lived
up to more or less. These combina-
tions have a demoralizing effect on
business, and ought to be discouraged.
We do not look for the eradication of
the evils of monopoly by the new
political party founded for that pur-
pose; bat we would like to see a
healthy public sentiment which will
not tolerate robbery, whether it is by
armed force on the highway or by
thieYing combinations.
