Colonel Polk was of great value to his

writer on topics of particular interest to
the farmers. The Peoples party win meet

THE COMBINE STRENGTHENED.

The Coal Combine seems TO be growing
in strength rs rapidly as 1t increases In
audacity. The Pennsylvania Railroad Is
now said to have Joined the combination,
although 1t has pretended heretofore to
have been It's determined opponent.
1t has been hoped that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, although controlling but
a small percentage OF the anthracite coal
production, would, with It's large wealth
and influence, be able to hold the Reading
Combine in check, 30 that there would be
at least some little restriction In its raid
upon the consumers pockets. But II the
Pennsylvania has been forced or soduced
into the conspiracy the people have no
hope. The entire anthracite output is in
the Combine and the public is hopelcssly
at its mercy.
The extent OF the robbery to which the
people are to be subjected, may be under
stood from the fact that the many mill
ions OF dollars to be realized out OF the
increased price OF coal have been sufl-
Client to drag into the pool all the railroad
corporations and some speculative bank
ing concerns. There is enough plunder
for all.
The only hope OF the people now for
protection against the gyasping and con-
scienceless monopoly Is In the suit boing
pressed by Attorscy- General Stockton in
New Jersey. In this suit may be found
the engine that will destroy the Combine,
despite its powerful backing and the mill.

THE BORDEN MURDER.

1t is terrible to contemplate the pos
sibility OF young woman's committing
such a revolving and brutal murder as the
Fall River tragedy. 1t seems almost In
credible that woman should have chosen
as the instrument for such deed an axe
which would require strong mans arm
to WELD with such sudden and fatal effect.
For the sake OF humanity 1t is to be hoped
that tho suspicion which seems to fasten
the guilt on the daughter, strong as 1t
now appears to be, may prove uniounded.
But Lizzie Borden Is evidently singular
women, OF iron nerves and determined
will. Her self-restraint during the trying
scenes since the murder has been remark
BILE, and her unmoved indifference perhaps
as much as anything has tended to create
belief in her guilt.

ABOLISH GRADE CROSSINGS.

The question of grade crossings ought
to be taken up and Thoroughly discussed all
over the country. These crossings would
not be tolerated on European railways for
half an hour, yet here, in this land OF rail-
roads, which contains more Iron routes
than all the other countries OF tho world
put together, thousands OF lives are daily
ieopardized. II tho list Of the persons
killed at grade crossings In the United
States in the last decade could be pro-
sented to the public 1t would be appalling.
The change In favor OF security must
come.
