A New Ruling.

The federal court at Chicago has de-
cided that the street car lines and
Union stockyards of that city come un-
der the interstate commerce law, the
former because passengers going from
one state to another frequently ride on
the street cars, and the latter because
stock shipped from one state to anoth-
er utilizes the yards. On this same
theory railroad eating houses, lunch
stands, peanut venders, ETC., come un-
der the interstate commerce law, be-
cause passengers going from one state
that this law can be stretched out to
meet any requirement of a federal
court. 1t operates something like the
''shell game now you don't" 1t can
be applied in ten thousand ways never
intended to the advantage of corpora
tions, but it cannot be operated so as
to force these same corporations to

laws are concerned. the people don't
know where they are to-day. The in
ter-state commerce law was passed for
the express purpose ofpreventing rail-
roads from forming pools und charg-
ing interstate passengers and shippers
exorbitant rates. 1t has been tortur-
tured, twisted and stretched by the
federal courts in every direction ex-
cept the right one. 1t has not bene-
fitted interstate commerce in the least,
but on the other hand has interfered
with state regulations and proved q
serious detriment.
When congress convenes again this
law should either be repealed or
amended and strengthened so as to be
OF some service to the public. In its
present condition it is useless so far as
the public is concerned, and dangerous

Senators CockrelI. and Vest.

In his speech at Richmond the other
day Hon. Champ Clark had this to say
concerning Senators Cockrell and
Vest:
/ would not be true to the senti-
ments of my own heart if l did not
knowledge Senators Vest and CockreI
have been absolutely faithful to the
people and the party in the awful fight
for lower taxes which has ragged in
Washington with unabated fury since
January l. Vest is easily the greatest
orator and debater in the senate. To
him is largely due the fact that any
bill better than the Mckinley law was
secured. The brunt of the fight fell on
him. He couldn't get what he wanted.
He had to take what he could wiring
from adverse circumstances, unfaithful
Democrats and unfriendly Republicans.
AS to Cockrell, he is the most tireless
worker that any people ever sent to
Washington.
Some people in Missouri pretend to
believe that our senators could have
done better had they been so disposed.
The truth of the matter is they did
everything in their power for tariff re-
form and only accepted the amend
ments to the Wilson bill when it be-
came apparent that failure to do so
would result in a defeat of all tariff
legislation. Senator Vest was a men,
ber of the committee having charge OF
the bill in the senate and he fought
against the amendments until further
resistance was useless. He has been
accused repeatedly of being under the
influence of the sugar trust, when in
truth he opposed it in every way he
could devise.
Senator Cockrell, like Senator Vest,
voted for the amended bill because it
afforded the hope of reducing taxa
tion. They could have not done other
wise and correctly represented the peo-
pie of Missouri.
So far as the breach between the
Missouri senators and President Cleve-
land is concerned, that is a matter
chargeable entirely to the President.
Because they would not vote against
silver, and would not vote to confirm
several Objectionable appointments,
the President has sought to ignore
them. AS the offices are about all
distributed, this is matter of small
consequence to the public.-JeUerSon

Answering a Correspondent.

A correspondent sends US the follow
lowing queries with the request that
we give them onr attention.:
Why should the free coinage Of sill
yer inure to the benefit of the miner?
Instead Of converting his fifty cents
worth of bullion into 81 by force of the
government stamp, why should not the
government purchase his bullion out
right and itself reap the profit? Would
not the saving be that of the taxpay-
ers, Indirectly?
We have already discussed the SUBJ
jects broached by our correspondent,
but as our remarks evidently escaped
his attention, we have no objection to
going over the same ground.
With respect to his first inquiry,
there is this to say: Whatever benefit
might inure to the miners of silver
would be merely an unimportant Incl
dent in the vast benefits that would
inure to the public in general. The
silver miners would be benefited only
in common with other people. and only
as all other people are benefited.
With the dollar which his 3714
grains of pure silver are coined into
he would be able to pay his debts and
satisfy his obligations on a juster basis,
and the people would be able to do the
souo THINGS with tho Same dollars
1t is fact to be borne in mind by
our correspondent, as well as by all
others interested in this great ques-
ton, that the owner of silver bullion
can now buy as much with an ounce Of
silver as he ever could. He can buy
q bushel of wheat with it now. and he

Not the First Work of Monopoly.

We clip the following from an edlto-
rial in Harper's Weekly on the tariff:
The tariff question is at rest for the
moment, and there will probably be no
further agitation of it during Mr..
Cleveland's administration. On other
questions the drift of events must set.
tie the attitude Of parties. This much, +,
however, is certain that for the first
time in the history of the country a
single monopoly, audacious, insolent
and confessedly corrupt, has sue
ceeded in debating to congress law
affecting the general welfare, the rev.
enues of the government and the tar
iff policy of the country. And for
this contamination the Democratic
party is responsible.
This indictment against the Demo
cratic party is not founded on fact,
and it cannot be sustained, for what
ever failure there might have been
to redeem the tariff pledge of the
party. the party is not responsible.
An overwhelming majority of Demo-
Gratis in both branches of congress
were in favor of reducing the tariff
to a revenue basis as pledged. A

love Of wife and child and friend.
Then locks Of gray and growing love
OF other days and half remembered
things-then holding the withered
hands of those who first held his, while
over dim and loving eyes death softly
presses down the lids of rest.
And so. locking in marriage vows
his children's hands, and crossing
others to the breasts of peace, with
daughters babes upon his knees, the
white hair mingling with the gold, he
journeys on from day to day to the
horizon where the dusk Is waiting for
the night-sitting by the holy hearth
of home, as the last embers change
from red to gray. he falls asleep with

adored, feeling upon his palid lips
loves last and holiest kiss.
