Sound Financial Sense

New Jersey Democrats in session at

on the financial question. There Is no
opportunity for misunderstanding its
position. 1t says:
I'VE are in favor of firm, unvary-
ing maintenance of the present gold
standard. We are opposed to the free
coinage Of silver at any ratio. and to
the compulsory purchase of silver bull
lion by the government. We believe that
the interest Of the people demand that
the earnings of trade, agriculture, man.
ufacture and commerce, and especially
wages of labor. should be paid in money
of the greatest intrinsic value and of the
highest standard adopted by the civil
lied nations of the world. We are there
fore, unalterably opposed to all devices
and schemes for the debasement of our
currency.
I'VE believe that the federal govern
ment should be divorced from the bust
ness Of banking; we, therefore, demand
the repeal of all laws authorizing the
issue or reissue of legal tender or treas
ury notes by the government; they
should form no part of the currency of
the people. We favor the enactment by
congress by such legislation as will in
sure banking currency ample in vol
ume for all the needs of business, and

RAILROAD LAW
A Square Division of Earnings Is Not
Pool


NEW YORK, May 2S.-Hoyt H. Wheel
er of the PUnited States district court,
has handed down a decision dismissing
the governments bill of complaint in
the suit in equity of the United States
against the joint traffic association.
Judge Wheeler holds that the joint
traffic association does not come within
the inhibition of the interstate COM
merce law against common carrier
entering into pooling arrangements
with competing railroads, nor within the
scope Of the trust law of 1890, which
classes as conspiracy any combination
for the restraint of trade or commerce
between the several states.
Assuming that suits under the inter-
state commerce act can be brought only
to prosecute for violations, and not to
provide remedies. the court holds that
only such agreements are prohibited as
for pooling of freightS or dividing pro-
ceeds of earnings. So far is this agree
ment goes each road carries the freightS
1T may get over it's own line at its own
rates however fixed, and has the pro-
ceeds, net or other. of the earnings Of
itself. Provision for reasonable, al
though equal or proportionate rate for
each carrier. or for just and proper
tional division of traffic among carriers
does not seem to be either pooling of
their traffic, or freights. ra division
of the clearingS many sense, and there
fore the bill is dismissed.

ling house. Mrs McGlincy was down
on Durham and said he was cruel to his
wife. She said he stole her daughter

tive character and that he never forgot
insults.

washington People Frightened but No Lives
Are Lost
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-For the
third time in ten days Washington has
experienced a cyclone, and for twenty
minutes this afternoon the wind swept
the city and the rain beat down with a
violence suggestive of the st. Louis hor-
ror. With the newspaper stories of yes
terday's tornado fresh in the mind, the
sudden sweep of the storm caused much
suffering to nervous folk. The wind came
from the southwest at the beginning,
about half past three, and with rapidly
increasing velocity swung around to the
northwest and north, and tore along.
sweeping away roofs from number of
buildings, including the Lutheran Me-
mortal church, uprooting scores of trees
all over the city and doing other injury.
Much damage was done to the splendid
foliage in the executive mansion
grounds and two Of the finest of the old
trees were torn up by the roots, making
four lost in week for the storms. The
wind aacted like genuine western cy-
clone in the White House grounds, cut
ting the trees and great limbs away
in clean but narrow path across the
rear lawn.
At the capitol the storm caused tenn
porary suspension of business. In the
house, members rushed through the lob
bies to the porticos and watched the
storm Mr.. Dingley of Maine. who tenn
porarily occupied the chair, was for sew
eral minutes sole occupant of the house.
The meteorological instruments in the
house lobby showed remarkable changes.
The temperature fell thrty-one degrees
in fifteen minutes. The force of the
wind for the first five minutes averaged
sixty miles an hour. gradually increas-
ing to seventy-one miles for the last five
minutes, the wind at the height OF the
storm suddenly shifting from southwest
to northwest.
The barometer had been gradually fall
ing all day until this storm came on,
when it began to rise. During the prog
ress of the storm it rose 14-100 of an inch.

CarllsIe's Position

Secretary Carlisle has an open letter
in the Louisville Courier Journal on the
silver question. He declares that his
speech of 1873. which has been fire.
quently used to convict him of chang
Ing his mind regarding silver coinage,
has been garbled and misquoted. He
also admits that he has changed his
mind in some respects since then, pre-
ferring to be right rather than con-
sistent
As Carlisle restates his position in
1878. he was opposed to the free coinage
of silver and favored the restoration of
the silver dollar to coinage and larger
use of that metal: the coinage of both
metals on an equality whenever parity
was restored, and an international al
agreement to establish and maintain a
common ratio.
That is a very different matter from
favoring free silver coinage But the
question of Carlisles exact belief at
that time matters little. The fact is that
the conditions have changed a great
deal since then; silver has continued to
drop in commercial value, the worlds
annual production of gold has nearly
doubled: the commercial nations are
becoming confirmed in their opposition
to silver as primary money; the pros
pect of international agreement to at
tempt to restore the parity of 16 to or
151s to 1 is receding: what might have
