A RAILROAD COMBINE.

The Chicago Herald of a recent date
gives out some information concerning
the plans Of the Western traffic associa-
ton, formed about six months ago, that
will be of interest to the reading pub
lie. From the facts stated the Herald
concludes that, innocent as it appeared
at first, the association has recently de-
veloped the purposes and attributes of
a giant trust or combine such as the
law frowns on.
General Manager Walker of the
traffic association sent a secret order
June II to the managers of the lines of
railroads in the association, instructing
them to furnish no information con-
corning the association or the business
of the roads represented in it to any
newspaper or representative thereof.
Any disregard of the instructions will
draw after it consequences similar to
those experienced by Traffic Manager
Leeds of the Missouri Pacific, who was
discharged recently for cutting rates.
The instructions have peculiar sig
nifcance at this time, when questions
Of vital Importance and great public in
terest are under consideration by the
association, whose decisions are anx-
iously awaited. These questions, or
two Of the most important, relate to
division OF traffic, virtually pooling
and the creation Of joint
agencies. The roads interested in the
association are known as the "Big
Six" and are said to be completely un-
der the control Of Gould. The combi-
nation is powerful one, that can Grip
pie other lines that may be disposed to
10 an independent business, and oppose
oint agencies or traffic division, or

MCKINLEY has been nominated for
governor of Ohio by the Republicans.
He made speech. Adversely has
taught him nothing. He still has a
fathers fondness for his little Bill, and
he is going to stand by it, if it did
wreck the party. That is the kind of a
man we admire. Beelzebub, over
thrown and cast into hell, would never
acknowledge that he had done wrong,
and kept up the fight, even when he
could do nothing but plot. Who doesn't
like pluck of that kind? Mckinley has,
at least, the virtue of Beelzebub, and
that is more of compliment than most
of his party deserve.

RECEIvERSHIPS are the outgrowth
of judicial construction, and not statu-
tory enactments. The sooner there are
both state and Federal statutes. the
better it will be for the stockholders
and the people who pay the freight.
In these matters there is too much jul
dicial construction and discretion, and
not enough law. 1t seems to be what
@ae lawyers call an equity proceeding,
With very little equity in it. 1t is re-
ferred TO the campaign of education.

The Democratic voter is about as
much opposed 10 do-nothingism as he
is to hnow-nothingism. He don't in
tend to take too much for granted from
his representatives or candidates, and
certainly not everything on faith. He
is going to stick to the party, and if
anybody must go, it Will be the leader
who wants to keep the party shrinking
issues and bowling down 10 Eastern
managers. The Democratic voter
knows the party is his even if indi-
vidual chicken-pie eaters are left out

There is something dark and sinister
in the instructions to general managers,
forbidding, under severe penalties, the
giving of any news concerning the as
ISOLATION to the press. Public senti-
ment will hardly indorse an order of
that sort. or look with favor on a COM

in effect, "the public be id"

THE Cleveland bureau has resumed
active operations. All the consuls-to-be
are in it. The bureau should take
early occasion 10 demonstrate to the
Democratic voters how man defeated
before the country in 1883 can be elected
in 1892. Democratic principles avail
little if Democratic principles can not
be enforced by Democratic success.

DEMOCRATS who think they can in
duce the party TO shift or avoid the is
sue had as well make up their minds to
failure. IN this congress and the next
national convention Democrats will
meet the issue squarely and say how
the additional legal tender circulation
Is to get from the treasury to the chan
nels of trade. Democrats are not both
ering themselves about the third party
or the sub-treasury, but intend that a
campaign OF education shall shape the
course OF the party on this and other
issues

EVERY Democrat and the Democratic

Democrat is in favor Of more money
and wants TO know how it is to reach
the channels of trade. He is not
expecting the government or pol

him how to get his individual
share: he will look after that
