DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Coke, Culberson and Chiffon Expound the
Principles of Democracy.


Special to The Statesman.
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex, Aug. Is.
"A grand Democratic barbecue took
place here today. Yesterday at noon
crowds of people began to pour in
from every direction. The crowd was
estimated at 10000 strong. Among
the notable speakers present are SEN
ator Chiffon, Senator Coke, Congress-
men Culberson and Kilgore and many
lesser lights from all over the state.
-Four big excursion trains came in
this morning loaded down with en-
thusiastic Democrats. Senator Horace
Chiffon spoke this morning, expound-
ing Democracy and denouncing the
ub-treasury scheme.
At the conclusion of Senator Coke's
speech, Col. Culberson was introduced
and seemed in his happiest mood, and
though the audience had listened to
two long and mastery efforts, yet
they crowded around him and gave
him the best of attention. The best of
attention prevailed throughout the
entire day and the universal verdict
is that the Democracy is safe for
another hundred years.

with house-keepers to say, whether
or not it will be used. They are
not asked to use it simply because
its use will benefit the South, but
because 1t will supply the place of
hogs lard, and for many uses it is
superior.
For eatables that require a small
amount of heat to be cooked it is
better, as its frying point is much
sooner reached than is that of lard,
1t is more healthy than lard in that
itisanti-dyspeptic, and is cheaper
than lard, as three-fourths the
quantity of it will 60 as far as a
pound of lard, and it sells for
slightly less.
Our house-keepers will not be
hurt by giving 1t a trial, and then
they will probably discard lard"

OF course, when some poor devil comes
along and wants a pass to save him from
starvation, he has several clauses of the in
terstate act read to him; but when a riCi
shipper wants pass, why he gets it al
once.
From years Of Intellectual efforts on
the part of the state and national legis.
latures and commissions TO regulate the
rate business, 1t would appear that the
only remedy Is national ownership, which
would place the rate making power In
one body, with no inducement to act 9th
erwise than fairly and impartially, and
this would simplify the whole business
and relegate an army Of traffic managers,
general freight agents, soliciting agents,
brokers, scalpers, and hordes Of traffic
association officials TO more useful call
lngS, while relieving the honest user OF
the railway OF intolerable burthens.
Under corporate control, railways and
their officials have taken possession OF
the majority of the mines which furnish
the fuel so necessary to domestic and in
dustrial life, and there are but few coal
fields where they do not fix the price at
which so essential an article shall be
sold, and the whole nation ia thus forced
to pay undue tribute.
Controlling rates and the distribution
Of cars, railways officials have driven
nearly all the mine owners who have not
railways or railway officials for partners,
to the wall. For instance, in eastern
Kansas. on the line of the st. Louis and
San Francisco Railway company, were
two coal companies, whose plants were
Of about equal capacity and several indi-
vidual shippers. The railway company
and It's officials became interested IN one
Of the coal companies, and such COM
pany was, by the rebate and other pro-
cesses, given rates which averaged but
40 per cent. Of the rates charged other
shippers, the result being that all Of the
other shippers were driven out of the
buslness,a part Of them being hopelessly
ruined before giving up the struggle. In
addition to gross discrimination In rates
this railway company practiced worse
Determinations in the distribution Of
cars. For instance, during one period of
564 days, as was proven in court, they de-
livered to the Pittsburg Coal company
9,3S1 empty cars to be loaded with coal,
although such company had sale for and
capacity to produce and load during the
same period more than $1,000 cars. Dur
ing the same time this railway company
delivered to the Rogers Coal company,
In which the railway company and 20.
w. Rogers, its vice president and gen.
eral manager, were interested, no less
than 15.4S3 coal cars, while 456 were de-
llvered to individual shippers. In other
words, the coal company owned in large
part by the railway and It's officials, was
given 80 per cent Of all the facilities ia
get coal to market, although the other
shippers had much greater combined Ca
paclty than had the Rogers Coal COM
pany.
During the last four months Of the pc
riod named,and when the Pittsburg Coal
company had the plant force and capac-
ity to load thirty cars per day, they re.
ceived an average Of one and q fourth

starve other mine operators out,and force
them 10 sell their coal to the Keith &
Perry Coal company, by failing to fur
nlsh the needed cars to those who did
not sell their coal to the Keith & Perry
company at a very low price.
When the Keith & Perry company had
a great demand for coal, such parties as
sold the products Of their mines to that
company were furnished with cars, but
for the other operators cars were not to
be had, such cars as were brought to the
field being assigned to such parties as
were loading to the Keith & Perry com
pany, because that company furnished
the coal consumed by the locomotives Of
the railway.
One operator, after being for years
forced In this way to sell his product to
the Keith & Perry company, or see his
several plants lie idle, has, in recent
months, been obliged to build some seven
miles of railway, In order to reach four
different roads, and thus have fighting
chance for cars, although all these rail
roads are provided with coal mines
owned by the corporations or their Off
cials.
In Arkansas, Jay Gould, or his rail
way company own coal mines and the
coal is transported to the neighbOring
towns at low rates, and there is an am
pie supply of cars for such mines, but
the owners of an adjoining mine are
forced to haul their coal some eighteen
miles to the same town in wagons, as
the rates charged them over Mr.. Gould's
railway are so high as to absorb the val
ue Of the coal at their destination.
Not only are individuals thus op-
but for reasons which only the
initiated can fathom, there are seemingly
purposeless Determinations against To-
calitles, as shown in the following ex-
tract from the Coal Trade Journal of
March 25, 1891:
Captain Thomas h. Bates, before the
railroad committee of the Colorado senate,
said: The Grand River Coal and Coke COM
pany mine their coal in Garfield county,
about fifty miles west of Leadville, and all
they sell in Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo has to be hauled through Lesdville.
At Leadville the individual consumer has to
pay 500 per ton for this coal, while in
Denver, with an additional haul of $50
miles, the coal from the same mines is de-
livered to the individual consumer for $3.50
per ton. The Colorado Coal and Iron COM
pany produce all the anthracite coal sold in
Colorado. It is mined at Crested Butte,
which is $50 miles nearer Leadville than
Denver, yet this coal is sold in Leadville for
$500 to the individual consumer, while the
same coal is hauled $50 miles farther and
sold to the individual consumer for an ad-
vance Of % cents per ton over the Leadville
price, and is sold in Denver for $40 per
ton in carload lots.
With the government operating the
railways, determinations would cease, as
would individual and local oppression;
and we may be sure that an instant and
absolute divorce would be decreed be-
tween railways and their officials on one
side, and commercial enterprises Of
every name and kind on the other.
There are but three countries of any
Importance where the railways are
operated by corporations permitted to

SHOULD THE NATION OWN THE BAIL.
WAYS,D

PART 1.-THE ADVANTAGES OF NATIONAL
OWNERSHIP.
Reproduced from The Arena Of July and August
1884, by special arrangement with The Arena
Publishing Company, Boston, Massachusetts.
First would be the stability and prac-
ideal uniformity of rates,now impossible
as they are subject to change by hun
dreds Of officials, and are often made for
the purpose Of enrlching such officials
State and federal laws have had the ef-
feet Of making determinations less pub
lie and less numerous, but 1t Is doubtful
IL they are less effective in enriching Of
fclals and their partners, although it
may be necessary to be more careful In
covering tracks. That they are contin-
ued is within the cognizance Of every
well informed shipper, and are made
clear by such cases as that Of Counsel
man and Peasley, now before the Unit.
ed States supreme court. COunselman
and PeAsley-one large shipper and
the other prominent railway official
refused to testify before United States
grand jury, upon the plea that to do 80
might crlminate themselves; the federal
law making it criminal offence to make
or benefit by discrimination. Counsel
man had been given rates on corn, some
cents less per hundred pounds than
others, from Kansas and Nebraska points
10 Chicago.
The outrageous character Of this dis
elimination will appear when we reflect
that cents per 100 pounds Is an enor-
nous profit on corn that the grower has
sold at from 18 to % cents per 100
pounds, and that such margin would
tend to drive every one but the railway
officials and their secret partners out Of
the trade, as has practically been the
case on many roads. Doubtless such
rates are sometimes made, In order to
take the commodity over certain line,
and there Is no divide with the officials;
but the effect upon the competitors Of
the favored shipper and the public Is
none the less injurious, and such prac-
tlces would mot obtain under national
ownership, when railway users would be
treated with honesty and impartlality,
which the experience Of half century
shows to be impossible with corporate
ownership.
Referring to the rate commission In
their last report, the Interstate commerce
commission says;
If we 60 no farther than the railroad man.
ayers themselves for information we shall
not find that it is claimed that railroad SER
vice, as a whole, is conducted without un-
just determinations.
If rates are secretly cut, or If rebates are
given to large shippers, the fact Of itself
shows the rates which are charged to the
general public are unreasonable, for they
are necessarily made higher than they ought
TO be in order to provide for the cut or pay
the rebate.
II the carrier habitually carries a great
number Of people free, its regular rates are
made the higher to cover the cost; IL heavy
commissions are paid for obtaining busi-
mess, the rates are made the higher that the
net revenues may not suffer in consequence,
If scalpers are directly or indirectly sup
ported by the railroad companies the gen.
eral public refunds to the companies what
the support costs.

The Griffin Jury Charged.

James A. Miner, judge, entered the First
district court room promptly at 8 80 yester-
day morning, and at once proceeded to
charge the jury in the Griffin case. The
charge, as read, would make perhaps over
three columns of printed matter were it set
in type The Judge ran over the details of
the evidence produced during the trial, and
read to the jury the exact meaning Of the
different degrees of crime that connect
with that of murder. The Judge defined
quite at length the definition of
reasonable doubt" and instructed the
Jury they could not well bring in
a verdict of murder in the first degree,
nor for any greater crime than man
slaughter if it should be decided that the
evidence does not warrant verdict in
accordance with the indictment If the
Jury saw fit and believed that the evidence
seemed 10 be for self-defense, and that the
killing of John Hamer by the defendant TO
protect himself from death or a great
bodily injury, the verdict must be mot
guilty" The Judge made the statement
that Griffin going out Of the saloon after
the first trouble occurred there, and going
back again armed. must not be considered
by the jury as against the defendant. As
any man has a right to enter any public
: place, and if the circumstances of the
moment are such, he has perfect right To
protect himself from bodily injury if i'm
posed upon by others.
The jury went to their room at 20 a.
m and up to late hour last evening were
unable to reach a verdict.
