LOUIS A. MYERS, Judge"
Judge Louis Myers, VINO appointed a re-
ceiver for the Santa Fe lines in Kansas to-
L.. l..
years ago on a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS fusion
ticket, and was reelected last Tuesday by
the Popocratic combination. Heretofore
he has made no decisions of a noteworthy
character For local state Judge to take
such action is decided innovation, and
the appointment of the receiver will doubt
less cause a great sensation in New York
and London tomorrow when it becomes
known. Coming, as the appointment does,
SO closely upon the heels of an election
which has turned the entire judicial ma
chinery of Kansas over to the PopuHsts. it
suggests an opening for the exercise to the
fullest of the Populst hatred of railroads.
And, however much it may develop that
Judge Myers is backed by sound law in
this instance, there can hardly be a ques-
ton but that attempts with be made fire.
quently hereafter to harass railway cor
porations by just such proceedings in tine
Populist courts.
1t goes without question that this new
misfortune of the Santa F'e Will be hailed
with rejoicings by the more radical Pop
ulists. 1t is suggested by people here who
know Judge Myers that his action to-day
will make him an exceedingly formidable
candidate for United States senator to
succeed PETER
1t was only recently that the great Santa
Fe system was taken out of the hands
of the receivers of the United States court
and placed upon what was regarded as a
very sound financial footing.
Much qualification has been expressed in
Wall street with the satisfactory earnings
of the system since it was reorganized
and the financial world will be startled
by this new complication.
