The Farmers and the Railroads.


Whenever q set of sharp fellows in the
money centers are trying TO manipulate
the business of the country they pretend
to be deeply concerned about the inter-
ests Of the farmers.
It is all right. The farmers understand
a thing or two. They can do their own
thinking, and so long is this remains a
government of the people they will know
how to act.
The Washington D. c., National Econ
Omist, the official organ of the National
Farmers Alliance and the Cooperative
Union of America, takes the proper view
of the railroad problem. It's editor, DR..
G. 4. McCune, in one of his recent edi-
torials has the following meaty para
graph:
cit is time, ard there IS abundant evidence
to show that farmers are beginning to realize
that they have been used as 4 catspaw by the
shrevd city InanipuiatoTs IN crying competition
between roads and that they had better say:
Let the roads combine II they wish, II matters
not; we are determined to demand = control that
will absolutely stop Determinations against or
in favor OF persons G. places -
This little paragraph weighs a ton
The farmers understand its full mean
ing They have been urged 10 demand
competition, but a competing railroad is
never Dullb III the interest OF the l2rI1-
eTs any more than a com netting grocery
store is started in the interest OF the pur-
chasers Of provisions. Both the railroad
and the grocery viii be run for the bene-
fit Of their owners.
The combination of railroads does not
hurt, but discrimination in favor of or
against persons or places is the injury
to be dreaded, and this discrimination is
the thing TO be guarded against. The
farmers and the people care nothing
at all about combinatlons-what they
want is such state and interstate control
as VIII prevent unjust Determinations on
the part of the railroads, and our rail-
road commissions are satisfactorily regu-
latIng this matter.
This is the vital point of the whole
matter. Combinations cannot hurt the.
people when the pc ople control the, eSasz
binations. xss,.sS

AT CASTLE GARDEN there are many the
cries concerning the great decline of Eu-
ropean immigration to the port during
the first half of the current year. 1t is
said to be owing to the reduction of the
surplus population Of several countries of
Europe by the immigration of past years,
to the difficulties encountered by many
immigrants in finding employment here,
to the new inducements offered to settlers
by several South American governments,
to the action of our consuls abroad IN
preventing undesirable persons from
leaving for New York, and to the strict
enforcement here of the contract labor
law. The falling off in the arrivals at
Castle Garden during the first half of this
year as compared with those in the cor
responding period of last year was nearly
81 per cent, or from 239, 325 to 173 ,678;
and this falling off was from all the Eu-
ropean countries from which immigrants
come to the United States.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has given the best Fed
eraI Office in Texas, that of collector Of customs
at Galveston. to a colored man. The appointee
is y. W. Quincy, who has been for years the
Texas member of the Republican national COM
mittee. Mr.. Quincy is the representative man
of his race in Texas, and his character and
standing are such that the Texas bourbons may
accept his appointment with becoming resigna-
ton and conclude not to withdraw from the
Union.-[IIlinois State Journal.
Mr. Quincy is a man of ability and in
tegrity, and as such the people of Texas
are very well pleased with his appoint
ment. ''Texas bourbons, - all of whom
are members of the Republican party +,
would like to kick little, but Quincy is
so much the ablest ana most influential
member of his party in the state that
they cannot afford to do it.

"Trust"-ful Evolution.


Fifteen years ago trusts were regarded
as opposed to the best interests Of the re-
public. They destroy competition, we
are told, and competition is the life of
the people.
Five years ago the trust was said to be
a tolerated evil. Combination Of capital
is necessary to reasonable profits, cried
the wiseacres. If laborers unite to pro-
tect themselves why shouldn t corpora
tions do the same thing for the same rea-
son?
Nowadays we are told that competition
is hostile to progress, that prices are al
ways lowered by big syndicateS and that
the ideal community is one IN which the
rich get everything and the poor nothing.
The little egg has Matched out pretty
big snake.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 24.-The
report from Washington last night that
Mrs A. G. Heron, American missionary
in Corea. had been condemned to death
at Seoul is believed to have originated in
a circumstance which recently befell II e..
G.. Underwood, an American missionary

was recently married at Seoul to an
American lady named Horton. They
went into the interior on their bridal trip
ana were mobbed in several places on &C

WHEN a railroad seeks right of way it
claims to be public corporation; when
railroad resists regulation it claims to
be private corporation. It is this dual
convenient claim that creates clamoT
