WORK TO BE DONE.

The recent strikes on the line >0l
some Of the Western railroads come
at q time to bring an apt reminder
that there il. Democratic work to be
done. These strikes affect the
mightiest combinations Of capital and
corporate power ever exhibited in
the worlds history.
Mr.. Bayard. we believe, was the
arst In the Senate Of the United
States t" discuss this subject of grow
ing corporate power and to liken the
conflict to that in which the liberties
ct the English people were wres,ed
by the people from baronial privilege
and caste. Nj. Bsyard Is now fitly
representative Of that wise, cautious
and conservative spirit, which will
now deal with these issues, unless
they are to he postponed to more
radical treatment at some later time.
