CONGRESS AND RAILROADS.

One Of the United States judges, Mr..
Wellborn of the southern district of
California, has juet rendered a decision
that it is in the power of the govern
ment to regulate and fix the rate it will
pay for the transportation Of it's en-
ployes and effects over the railroads of
the country. This point is made clear
by the text of the decision which is
printed, but according to the report in a
paper before US, the decision goes very
much farther. The report says: "The
decision, however, 10 not applicable to
the land grant roads alone, but applies
to all the roads in the country, and is
not confined to government business,
but involves the right OF congress to fix
the compensation for all charges by the
railroads for interstate commerce" Talk
about the Chicago convention and the
populist convention being anarchistic,

SANDER promul gated by the Chicago
Chronicle, Senator Thurston, and others
that he had been for years in the employ
of the silver mine owners. What are the
libelers going to do about it? They may
refrain in future from retailing the eilly
story, but it is not probable that they
will make ample apology and thus seek
to undo the wrong they have done. That
is not their plan of campaign. On the
contrary, they will originate some other
personal attack upon Mr.. Bryan in the
vain hope that, as they cannot injure the
cause, they can injure the candidate.

NOT A HEAVY WEIGHT.

Hon. A. Fl. Garland, of Arkansas, is
an eminent lawyer, was United States
senator and later attorney. general in the
cabinet of Cleveland during his fist
term. Mr.. Garland is still democrat
and is supporting the Chicago nominees,
Bryan and Sewall. Like some other
great men, the Arkansas Statesman is
blessed with son and like the sons of
other great men, this young gentleman
is disposed to trade on his fathers repu-
tation, for it is certain that is his only
claim to recognition. The sprig Of the
Garland stock is named Sanders Gar
land, and, we believe, like young Mr..
Harrison, he at one limo eojourned in
Helena, Mont Be that as it may, San
ders Garland is out III letter announc-
lng 'ltenceforth | am decided to be an
enrolled member under the republican
banner" When this letter was shown
the elder Garland he developed an un-
expected grim humor when he remarked,
"Sanders is bis own man and while his
vote will have the effect Of destroying
his fathers vote for Bryan and Sewall,
that is about the only appreciable
weight his change of heart will have on
the present campaign The old man is
acquainted with Sanders.

There is nothing to be gained by under

repeat, the speech will be widely read by
intelligent men and women, and there is
nothing to be gained by newspaper at

THE CONVENTIONS,

The gentlemen elected at the demo-
cratic and populist primaries yesterday
throughout the county have an impor-
tant duty to perform. They Will CON-
pose conventions that will in turn select
delegates to the respective state conven.
tions of the party Upon the latter de-
wolves the all-important task of go ar
ranging details that all the free coinage
elements in the state shall be united.
No matter what else is done, there must
be no mistake about this. The large
majority of the voters of this state
democrats, populists, and republicans
favor free coinage above all other con-
siderations, and without regard to party
they will support Bryan and Sewall
electors. 1t is therefore of the utmost
consequence that delegates to both con-
ventions from Cascade county shall be
chosen who will fully represent the views
of the voters in this respect.
As for the advisability or propriety of
a fusion between the two parties for
candidates on the state ticket, that is a
matter Of secondary consideration. 1t is
a matter of policy, or more properly
speaking, of offices. There is no ques-
tion but that the two parties, il united,
can secure control Of the state govern
ment, and it is equally certain that il
they are divided the republicans will
continue in power. To reach a basis or
agreement that is fair and satisfactory
to both is the problem that will confront
the conventions. IT this is not accom-
plished, it will be because there are i'm
practicables on one or both sides.
What is said regarding the state ticket
applies with equal force to the county
ticket. II they see fit, the county con-
ventions to meet Saturday can name the
men who will conduct county affairs for
two years. Let it be remembered that in
any negotiations that may be entered
into, this is purely local matter and
has nothing whatever to do with the

One of the insolent New York mer
chants who has adopted the bull-dozing
methods in the insane belief that it will
have an effect during the campaign has
met Tartar in the person of a GUS
toner resident in Mexico, Mo. The GUS
toner recently purchased bill of goods
from the travelling agent and when the
invoice arrived it contained in red ink
the words payable in New York in
United States gold or it's currency equiv
alent.' The Missouri merchant thought
that as object lessons were in order they
were game that two could play at and
he promptly notified the New York gold
bug that he had made no such bargain
with the agent and would not accent
the goods. He then proceeded to dupli-
cate the order with another house. AS
the net result of his uncaled for and
lmpertinent object lesson the New York
man has lost a customer and is out $40,
that beng the freight on the goods to

cases that we read about where a man
is paid back in his own coin" Let the
practice become general.

doze the doubtful, and mislead the

new departure, but an honorable one,
and the exigencies of the occasion
justify and demand new departures.
1t is not in accordance with
old rules for the people to declare

was done at Chicago. Heretofore, they
have left that to the politicians, as was
done at st. Louis. Having started the

NEW ROORRACflS,

| fou bet we have to go away from
home to get the news, and the trouble ie
with each additional batch of news We
get, one or more of our idols are shat
tered and our faith in human nature
weakened, always, Of course providing
we believe what we read and hear. Thus
early in the campaign attention has been
called to the deliberate and malicious
misstatements Of the godbug press
There is no mode of mud singing and
falsehood they will not resort to to serve
their cause. History is misquoted, facts
distorted and individuals lied about
without regard to consequences, and this
too, by papers that claim to be reputable
A couple of samples of this mode of de.
ceit have just come to notice. The Chi
cago Tribune of recent date states that
among other visitors to the Mckinley
headquarters in that city on day
named was Marcus DAILY. 1t is
possible that Mr.. DAILY may, in company
with others, have called at the McKin-
ley headquarters. We do not know
whether he did or not, but mark the
advantage that is taken of the alleged
visit. 1t is made the excuse for one of
the executive committee to publish to
the country in the columns of the Chi
cago Tribune the following: "My ears
may have deceived me; possibly | did
not comprehend Mr., paly's language,
but the impression | gained from his
talk led me to understand that he favors
sound money and is working for the
election of Mckinley and Hobart"
Could anything be more treacherous,
underhanded or contemplate? The COM
mittee man must have heard what Mr..
DAILY said. Why not repeat his Ian
guage? Because to have done SO would
have been to tell the country what it
already knows, that the gentleman is
earnestly supporting Bryan and Sewall.
Instead of doing this the committeeman
deliberately seeks to convey the false
impression that the contrary is the case
This is the plan of the Hanna Mckinley
campaign.
The other instance appears in the COL
umns of the Philadelphia Times. That
paper also quotes person, unnamed, as
crediting w. A. Clark with the state.
ment that he did not expect Bryan
would be elected. 1t is not within the
bounds of probabilities that Mr.. Clark
ever made any such remark. He has
been in the east ever since the adjourn
ment of the Chicago convention and all
the adyices received from him are that
he feels certain Of the success Of the
Bryan ticket In both the cases quoted
the alleged information is second hand,
and then it is equivocal, but it serves the
purposes of the goldbugs. 1t causes the
average reader to believe that Mr.. DAILY
is for Mckinley and that Mr.. Clark has
given up the fight. We feel justified in
saying that there is not word of truth
in either statement.

TOO MUCH ABUSE,

Since the meeting in Madison Square
Garden and the speech of acceptance by
Candidate Bryan, the gold standard press
has with one accord been abusing Mr..
Bryan and attacking his speech. The
gentlemen of the eastern newspapers
had imagined that Bryan would appear
before his New York critics with few
notes, and trusting to the inspiration of
the moment, give those who heard him a
sample of the oratorical power with
which he is gifted. He disappointed
them. He went to New York to talk at
$1,000 people and to talk to the entire
nation. His object was not immediate
applause; it was to send forth manly,
dignified, statesmsnlike utterance upon
the issues Of the day. He did not attempt
to appeal to passion or prejudice, but
he addressed himself to the reason and
judgment of his fellow citizens. He made
no mistake. His effort will Withstand the
probe of the most captious, and, as for
silly, shallow TRADES Of abuse that are be-
ing aimed at it, they furnish their own
best answer. Argument cannot be over
thrown by mud, no matter if the mud
be in a gilded vessel. Coarse villification
| does not change it's nature, nor does it
prove more effective by appearing in one
OF the great dailies than when it appears
in known pirstical blackmailing
sheet. Let not the great editors
deceive themselves. The people read,
and are reading during this campaign
as they have never read before. The
