1t goes without saying that all
first-class attorneys are retained by
the numerous railroad companies,
and are all paid princely salaries.
Now, the query natural y arises,
Who pays these large salaries ?
The people who don't own dollars
worth Of railroad stock. The traf-
fic is charged all in will bear, and
mere, too. These extra charges meet
all the extra expenses In short,
the people are compelled to pay
the expenses of railroads in their
litigation with the people. The
people pay all the taxes. An extra
charge on freight and passengers
meets all these extra expenses. If
the government operated the roads,
such would not be the case. The
government does not conduct the
postal department to heap up collosal
fortunes. Will the people never
get their ewes open?

ROBBERS AND ROBBERS.

A good many well-meaning peo-
pie have the impression that the
opposition to large corporations is
an unreasonable and unreasoning
prejudice. To such we have to say
that il the truth was generally
known and the magnitude of corpo-
rate power fully appreciated; if the
methods employed to build up this
power were fully laid before the
public, such a political storm would
arise as would utterly crush this
new and unrestrained oppressor Of
the people.
Going back to the time the Stand
ard Oil Company was crushing out
it's rivals, we find that railroad COM
panies in the most outrageous man.
ner assisted the Standard Oil Com
pany in it's great scheme of modern
brigandage.
Taking up report of special
committee, appointed in New York,
to investigate the railroads, we find
that the Standard Oil Company had
received in eighteen months, in re
bates from railroads, the enormous
sum of $4,000, 900.
In a case tried in the United
States district court, it was given in
testimony before the court that the
general freight agent of the Cleve-
land & Marietta railroad carried the
Standard company's oil for 10 cents
per barrel, while the Standards ri.
walls were charged 35 cents per bar
rel.
Is it any wonder that the rivals of
the Standard Oil Company have been
crushed and is it any wonder that
the Populists are making deter
mined fight against railroads, since
the railroad companies have not only
inaugurated a reign of robbery of
their own, but have assisted other
corporations in schemes to pillage
the people !?
Keep up the war on the railroad
companies, for they are at the head
of vast amount of deviltry outside
of their own domain.

IMPERIALISM.

Cleveland advises the people to be
frugal, and prates of "Jeffersonian
simplicity" but, as an example, he
is a notable failure. AS matter OF
fact, Mr.. Cleveland not only does
not practice what he breaches, but
he assumes airs that are almost i'm
perial. During his first term, his
vetoes smacked Of dictatorship. In
stead of consulting the interests
and leaders of his party, he boldly
proclaims policy antagonistic to
both people and politician, and, with
inAexible resolution, is using all the
power at his command to bend the
party to his will.
From Cleveland's standpoint, the
only merit any one can have that
commends to the favorable consider
alton of the administration is to be
"a Cleveland man. For his advisers
he selects men who are proving to
be his plant tools. Cleveland's
cabinet is in no sense his advisors.
Cleveland has no advisors He
sprang, full-grown, into the wisest
of all Democrats, at one bound, and
since that time, Cleveland has been
the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cleveland, being savior, might
have been entitled to be priest and
king had it not been that he is only
the sovereign of the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Clevela. DIS Imperialism pro-
ceeds from the spirit born of abject
vassalage; for, after all, he is only
the satrap or grand vizier of the
great mogul of christendom.
Cleveland can afford to be impe-
rious, for he is the minister of
great king. But, can the people af-
ford to be mild, even by Cleveland,
in the interest of that king? We
shall see and, in the meantime, we
must remind Mr.. Cleveland that, in
America, the citizen who drinks
water from tin-cup is as good as a
president who drinks wine from a
golden goblet from which Napoleon
drank and the man who lives in a
sod house in Kansas, has a goods
box for table and iron cutlery for
table furniture, might be better than
a president who requires a suite of
fourteen rooms in the Arlington, and
the costlest furniture for himself
and wife and Baby Ruth and the
man who waits on himself is as good
as the president who owns butler. |

The Ottawa Journal seems to be
exercised lest indiscreet Populists
offend Democrats, but we think there
is little danger so long as the Popu-
lists divide the Offices with them.
But, the division of Offices is not
the purpose for which the Peoples's
party was called into existence, and
the sooner we get rid of the Office
seeker, the better for the reform
movement. We favor the bringing
together of all men who desire re-
form, no matter to what party they
belong, but there must be aims in
common, definite purpose and bet
ter motives than merely to down the
other party. Or, in other words,
we believe in reform because reform
is needed, and we would erect a
platform upon which all reformers
can stand, and then go out and fight
our battles on PRINCIPLE, observing
at all times the broadest charity to-
ward those who honestly differ from
us, and welcome to our ranks all
who can consistently work with us,
without reference to past political
affiliations.

In the June number of Our Dumb

In the June number of Our Dumb
Animals, Geo. T. Angel says +:
Newspaper lies undoubtedly caus-
ed the assassination of both Lincoln
and Garfield " This good Angel
no doubt means that class OF pOlit-
ical newspapers published for the
"money in it," and for nothing else.
We have few papers now in mind,
notable among which are the Topeka
Capital, the Ft. Scott Monitor and
the capitalistic sheets of Chicago,
and other large cities. Kansas is
in the van of all reforms, and, as all
reforms meet with determined Op-
position from men and newspapers
that are in politics only for the
money, among the most pronounced
of that type are the old party papers
of the wicked city at the mouth OF
the Kaw. They have become po-
litical weather-vanes Of the most
unliable kind. No man can believe
their utterances from day to day.
Misrepresentation is the leading
feature of their contents. Of the
political situation in Kansas they
know but little, and care less, and
in their misrepresentation of the
real political status in the Sunfower
state, they have willing ally in the
Topeka Capital. If falsehood has
not ruled them in their statements
relative to the action Of the Repub-
licans in Topeka last winter, the
leaders of the gang had en-
tered into o. conspiracy to
Uss0SSin0te GOv. LelOeIIine

of two things is certain: False

contingency, determined to assassi-
nate Gov. Lewelling-and they are
the God-and-morality party.

A Question.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Star of yesterday quotes these words
of DR.. Hamlin's Sunday sermon: 1.-The
movement Ito appropriate public money for
Catholic schools) has its seat and force dis
tinctively in the hierarchy
Does he mean the whole hierarchy are in
has he for such an assertion?
am quite sure Cardinal Gibbons is not in
favor of this movement. for l read in the
account of his celebration in Baltimore
over month ago that he had said before
large gathering of representative Catholics:
i would not wish to see a closer union of
church and state than We have at present"
Dr. Hamlfn quotes Archbishop Satolli' s
words In the Thanksgiving address. Does it
follow from these words that the arch
bishop Is in favor of this movement to APP
propriate public funds for Catholic schools?
TO me these words simply mean that Arch
bishop Satolli has more faith in the moral
lLnuence OF the Catholic Church a means
of education than DIR. Hamlin seems to have
In the moral influence of the Presbyterian
Church as means of education. Compare
the first and second paragraphs under the
heading 'Sectarian Schools Inferior.')
Perhaps the doctor is better acquainted
with the other members of the hierarchy
than 1 am. but whatever he may know con-
corning the opinions OF the other members
of the hierarchy, as Catholic living in the
District. 1 feel confident l can agree en-
tirely with DIR. Hamlin without being in
opposition to those of the hierarchy whose
words have any authority for me.
This movement was begun and is urged on
by a few hot-headed zealots in manifest OPP
position to the cardinal. They will not meet
with success. Why magnify their import
ance? A CATHOLIC
