the Greenville News is pleased by some
Of tho recent Democratic defeats and
declares its loyal Democratic grief over
the defeat of Senator Brice, Of Ohio, by
100000 majority. Our Democracy does
not go to the extent of admiring and
sympsthizing with every man who
chooses TO call himself Democrat
Senator Brice violated every principle
and theory of the Democratic party. he
is man who has gathered enormous
wealth by railroad wrecking, stock job
bling and other worse than doubtful
methods. He was the special represent.
alive of the worst element Of the money
power. Of trusts, monopolies and pools.
He was of Wall street and lived in New
York, but sat for the State OF Ohio. He
was against the Democratic party on
the tariff question and every other
question. When the Democrats OF any
State select a man like that to represent
them they deserve to be beaten and we
will always be glad to see them beaten.

THE supreme court, in an opinion by
Justice Harlan, has decided that the
Union Pacific Railroad Compsny had no
right to make lease practically giving
the Western Union Telegraph Company
an exclusive right to maintain tele-
graph lines along the route of the rail-
road company. The case came from
Nebraska, and the court, by its decision,
reverses the Judgment OF the circuit
court OF appeals and affirms the iudg-
ment of the circuit court for the Me-
braska district. The decision holds
that the United States has q right to
maintain bill in equity to compel
the Union Pacific to maintain its own
lines of telegraph along its railroad
routes, aud that the obligation imposed
on the railroad company to do this was
as strong as its obligation to maintain
the railroad tracks.
