Senator Ben Mccoy introduced an
amendment TO the railroad bill which
nxed maximum freight rates that
robs the bill of its value to the people
We are surprised to hear it reported
that Senator Converse voted for this
amendment. The bill as it passed
the House graded the rates for the
distance hauled.
The amendment permits the roads
to charge as much for short as q
long haul, by permitting them to fix
q rate TO competing points, making
the rate the same to all intermediate
points. For instance, the Burling-
ton and the c. NJ. g. st. Paul compete
for the freight to Council Bluffs, and
TX low rates from the Mississippi riv-
or to that point. Under Ben Mccoy
amendment, as much may be charg.
ed to move a car of freight on either
line to the first station ten miles
away as for hauling it entirely acros.

ure could not have been devised b,

For The NERVOUS
The DEBILITATED
The AGED.

Laboring men have no rights that
corporations are bound to respect is
the tenor and scope of decision just
rendered i'm the United States Dis
trict Court at Omaha by Judge Ell
mer S. Dundy, appointed in 1868. 1t
is in the form of an injunction res
training the engineers of the Union
Pacific II. II. from leaving the EN-
ploy of the road. He claims to have
done this under the Interstate Com
merce law. Ii that law jnstifi es any
such construction. that laboring
men may not quit the employ OF the
railroads without their permission.
then indeed have the dark days Of
servitude returned in earnest to af-
flict those who delve in the mines or
serve upon the roads of the corpora
tions which may fix wages SO low
that the man becomes an absolu te
slave to it, and he has no right to
quit. Such an order. if valid. makes
this government despotism In
stead Of republic and places the
corporate monopolies on the throne.

Nearly twenty years ago the city OF
Chicago was wiped off the face of the
earth by conflagration.
To stimulate its rebuilding, Con-
gress passed special act admitting
free of duty the varied articles of
iron beams. nails, glass, lumber, lime,
cement. sash. doors, blinds-in fact,
everything needed to replace what
had been consumed. which SO reduc-
ed the cost of construction of bust
ness houses and blocks, that millions
of millions of dollars from all parts OF
the country sought investment there.
Now. if freedom from tariff taxation
was relief and u benefit to Chicago,
why wouldn't it help the people OF
Iowa and the farmers of the great
west almost as much az much in need
of comfortable homes as Chicago
was after its fire?

Men often ask How are you GO
ing to stop combinations and trusts"
Our method is a simple one. Such as
result in IA protective tariff in pre-
venting competition can be reached
in measure by removing the tariff.
Those that result from combinations
to control prices can be reached by
applying to those engaged in the
combinations and trusts the same le-
gal methods that capital seeks to ap-
ply to laboring men who seek to adj
vance their wages through combina-
tions. Give capital the law it every
where asks for labor: make combina-
tions to raise or depress prices Grim
inal, punishable by fine and iinpris-
onment. Let jury of laboring men
decide whether combination OF
knaves il a trust or a partnership,
and whether its members should be
in the penifentiary or out. A jury OF
competent men can distinguish
where legitimate partnership ends
and piracy begins.

Horse Blankets whicharc strong

failure Of our late county snperinten-

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False

4 prominent English woman says

Another Register Supplement.

Of its deliberate sell out it has itself
furnished, and in almost every issue
is to be found the confirmation of its
treachery, Since its issuance OF a
supplement giving the arguments Of
the railroad attorneys before the
house committee, in which not one line
was devoted to the argument OF the
people against aggressive discrilnina-
ton. it has issued another generous
extra in which additional corpor-
ate twaddle and doctored statistics
are given, but that yet has another
and more sinister attack upon the
public interests Elnboldened by the
careless rapacity with which country
publishers accepted the free Offering
OF the first supplements and gave the
one sided plea to their readers, the
Register has this time foisted upon
the unsuspecting strong endorse

DR. Willis Westmoreland was dressing the
wound of soldier who had been shot in the
neck near the carotid artery.

just as quickly the surgeon thrust his finger

his will, wrote an affectionate letter to his
