short the story,swhich the ''father" Of

tered upon. Thes fact is that this So
called "hearing,,s,Hs we have heretofore
remarked, is purely a p~erfunctory mat

the majority Of The committee to get
through with it as easily as possible.
There was a precedent which the demo-
Gratis felt it would be i~nexpedient to
ignore altogether, but they do not pro-
pose to devote much time or trouble in

soms moas MULTIPLICATION.

Not content with having had the max
imum freight rate law hung up in the
federal courts, the railroads seem do
termined that no legislation enacted in
the interest OF the people by their
representatives in the last legislature
shall ever receive the force of law.
The point Of attack has now been
shifted to the transfer switch law,
which was intended TO relieve shippers
from sending their goods over o line
longer than the shortest distance by
rail between the points OF consignment.
The transfer switch law requires all
railroads operating In the state touching
at common points or at some near point,
where freight is received and delivered,
to build and maintain switches for their
common use in transferring freight in
carload lots from one line to the other.
The roads are enioined under heavy
penalties to construct these switches and
to give shippers a through way bill to
h place of destination, charging there
for a rate no higher than the sum OF
the local rates on the connecting
AaahSos II ioV NVib oGbCIl1lDll lhbO
force on August 1, but tho penalties were
not to attach until after the lapse Of
sixty days granted the roads to
bring before the Board OF Transporta-
ton applications for exemption from its
provisions at particular points where its
enforcement would be unusually burden
some, and hence unjust and
able.
1t was evidently under a misappre-
hension of the law that complaint was
made q few weeks ago before the board
by certain citizens who sought to COM
pei the roads to put in a switch as con-
templated by the law. The law i'm
poses a duty upon the railroads without
further action on the part of shippers,
unless the railroads are exempted by
the order Of the State Board of Trans
portation. When, then, the Burling-
ton come as it does before tho
board and asks to be excused
from living up to the provisions of the
law in relation to switches at sixty
three points, it is practically seeking to
nullify the whole law, and it behooves
the interested shippers to look out for
their rights. 1t is highly probable that
those sixty-three points specified in the
petition include most, ii not all, of the
places where the Burlington would be
compelled under the law to construct
switches for the benefit of their patrons.
If so, the legislature could have specific
ally exempted that road if it did not in
tend that, the law should apply to it.
The petition of the Burlington may be ex-
pected to be followed by similar petitions
from every other railroad operating
within the state, and if one is entitled
to relief, all will claim the same treat
mem AS we have said before, it rests
with the Board of Transportation to
make this law a reality or a living
farce. The responsibility of its enforce
ment can not be shifted by them. Unless
they act honestly by the people in this
instance the abolition of a board that
has become notorious as a mere puppet
of the railroads will be the first work of
the next legislature.

THE order OF the secretary of the
treasury directing the manning of the
minis at Philadelphia and San francisco
to their full capacity and the coinage of
gold as fast as possible shows that the
treasury intends to be prepared to use
its gold reserve to whatever extent may
be necessary to meet the obligations of
the government. Nearly all of this re-
serve is in the form of bullion, aud if the
United States notes were not to. be de-
prived of their usual support, and the
reserve we're to be maintained, this specie
would not be coined. In the form Of
bars the gold is easier to handle and
store than it will be when minted, and
the loss from abrasion is reduced to a
minimum. The coinage of this reserve
is evidence that the secretary. expects
that it will be needed to pay the de-
mands upon the government and implies
that it will be the policy of the treasury
to use it for this purpose. There is no
legal obstacle to this being done and if
the purchase of silver is discontinued it
is not apparent that ony harm could re-
suit from using the reserve in this way.
vt any rate the government could not,
without damage T.. its credit, allow it's
obligations to go unpaid while holding
this gold. There is a heavy deficit in
prospect and Secretary Carlisle is talk
ing timely precaution. Congress ought
to find a way to obviate the necessity of
making any serious inroad upon the
gold reserve.

Dodge County for Maxwell.

Dodge county is for Maxwell all the time,
and the only hope of those who oppose his
denomination is that they may keep the
voters from the primaries and thus prevent
an honest expression. The contemplate
tactics of the chairman of the county central
committee, who is the leader of the anti-
Maxwell forces, in Withholding notice of the
snap convention from the other republican
papers of the county is sufficient excmpli-
ncation OF the lengths they are willing to re-
sort to in order to gain their ends. Go to
the primaries and vote to reward judicial
honesty. Set down on the self-constltuted
bosses and snap convention makers and set
down on them in a manner that will leave
no doubt as to what you mean.

REPUBLICAN lawyers who aspire to
honors on the supreme bench of this
state may as we'll curb their ambition
and wait until the bench is enlarged by
constitutional amendment. Judge Max
we'll will either succeed himself or be
succeeded by the populist candidate.
This is not only the trend of public
sentiment, but also the inevitable conse-
quence of the hostility of the state
house boodlers to Maxwell and the
activity of the railroad politicians to
have him retired and superseded by a
man Of their own stripe.

SIDE QUESTIONS BEFORE CONGRESS-.
The present congress will have a
number Of important questions to con-
slider besides those relating to the cur
rency and the tariff. The democrats
have already given notice Of their in
tenticn to repeal the federal election
laws. A bill for this purpose intro
duccd by Senator Hill of New York
was favorably reported to the senate by
the judiciary committee last week, so
that it is likely to take a conspicuous
place in the deliberations of the
senate very soon after the sill
Q question is disposed of. A similar
measure will be introduced in the
house, and as the democrats in both
branches are of course unanimous in
favor OF such legislation it's ultimate
adoption is assured. 1t is not expected
that it will be opposed by the republi-
cans generally, though undoubtedly
some of them will make a vigorous fight
against it. AS a matter of fact the fed
erale election laws have for years been
imperative in the section of the country
where they were intended to secure
citizens their political rights.
The house committee on the election
of president, vice president and repre-
sentatives in congress contemplates
reporting several measures of general
interest relating to matters within it's
jurisdiction. One of these will be q bill
changing the time for the meeting of
congress. The constitution provides
that congress shall assemble at least
ing shall be on the first Monday in
December unless congress shall by law
appoint a different day. Full authority
is thus given to congress to change tho
appointed day OF meeting, but though
frequently urged to do so it has never
exercised the authority. There are
cogent reasons in favor of a change, but
whether they will prove to be
more effective with the present
than with past congresses is a ques-
tion. The indisposition to depart from
a practice which has prevailed from the
beginning of the government is strong
and very difficult to overcome. Two
other contemplated changes could only
be effected by amendments to the con-
stitution. One of these relates to the
election OF United States senators and
the other to the term of the president
and vice president. The constitution
provides that the senate shall be COM
posed OF two senators from each state
chosen by the legislature thereof.
There is a very strong and growing
sentiment In the country in favor of the
election OF senator's by the people, and
If an amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the popular election of sena-
tors We're submitted to the legislatures
OF the states it is highly probable that
the necessary three-fourths of them
would ratify it. The people ought to be
given an opportunity to say whether or
not they desire such a change, but it is
hardly probable that at this time two
thirds of the senate-that number in
both houses being necessary - propose
an amendment-could be induced to
agree TO the reform. 1t will undoubt-
eddy come in time, but not from the
present congress. With regard to the
presidential term, it is proposed To
make it six years and to provide that
the president shall be Ineligible for
reelection for the mex succeeding term.
There is a great deal to DO said in favor

Scarcity of Farm Labor.

From all over the country has come the
cry that harvest hands are scarce. In many
sections old men, women and children were
called upon TO help gather the crops because
able-bodled laboring men were not TO be had.
This Is a state of affairs which should not
exist when there are so many workingmen
idle. Instead of tho distribution OF labor
which should exist in a country of our vast
population is largely congested in our great
cities and manufacturing centers. IL is
among TIE evils fostered by a protective
system which attracts capital TO the field
where IL is favored, start Is the enterprises
which employ labor. stimulates production
beyond the demands OF consumption and,
when orders cease TO come ia, throws hun
dreds and thousands out of employment.

strong one. The party machinery that had

those who know the judge well, from those
not members of his political party, there

Is a man of good ability who has made an
excellent record as district judge in tho
Twelfth district. He is n young man with
much of his future before him, and his nom
nation will remove much of the usual per-
sonality in this campaign and cause the bat
tie to be fought. as it ought to be, on the
political professions of the populist party
as laid down in their platform.

doubted that its proposal would receive
very general approval, as would another

direct instead of through the anomalous

colleges.
The consideration OF these questions
will give congress and the country
something to think about which will at
any rate relieve the monotony of finan-
cial and economic discussion.
