for securing such changes, so far as

sincere desire and determination to
meet that responsibility properly.

make as much history for the State as

Government by IDjuncti ton.

If the government has a right to in
terfere with the private business of
railroads, why has it not the right to
own and control them. The Ports
mouth Star says:
Apart from the merits or dement's
of the struggle now going on between
the 5. A. l.. and the Southern Railway,
it must be said that the temporary in
junction to stop the rate war, recently
granted by Judge SimOnton, puts a
new phase on the matter. 1t is true
that the injunction is only temporary
and after the hearing it may be dis
solved. Still it has an ugly look. 1t
amounts to Federal interference with
private affairs, or governmental con-
troll of the laws of competition and
supply and demand.

ANARCHY UNMASKED.

1t has been the fashion and custom
of the big o. p. papers and big pluto
cratic liars of the country to speak of
Populists as red-mouthed agitators,
anarchists and the like for some time.
This has been their method of fight
ing the Peoples Party and reformers
generally. They do not seem to have
had sense enough to know what con-
stituted anarchy, and had no concep-
ton of what it meant until the anar-
chists defined it. Just see.

and MCKINLEY, and in his usual Wig
Orous manner denounced Bryan and

Goldbug Democrats will fight for
the success OF the gold standard, by
opposing measures looking to a union
of silver forces, even though they sit
in council with the Democratic party
which has declared for silver. When
the Democratic executive committee
proposed cooperation with Populists,
the proposition was bitterly opposed
by Col. Means and Mr.. S. Gallert, of
the committee. The News and Obser-
yer says of these two men: "Mr. S.
Gallert, of RutherfOrdton, said that
the Democrats in Rutherford were by
no means ready to fuse with the Pop
ulists. 1t is but justice to Mr.. Gallert
to say that some of his friends put
him down as a gcldbug. If, however,
these friends be mistaken, certainly
there can be no mistake about the fact
that Col. Paul B. Means is a goldbug.
The Colonel is member of the execu-
tive committee, and needs no yellow

ion of his money principles. Even

E.DIToRIA COMM ENV

Democratic leaders and Journals al,
over the country are boiling the party
and political realignment seems to
be unavoidable. Two members of the
Cabinet, Secretaries Morton and Her
bert, have announced that they will
not support Che Democratic ticket or
the platform. Democrats in New
York like Whitney and Hewitt and
Grace have done the same thing. Ex-
Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago, and ex-
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, take the
same stand, and large array of indie
pendent and Democratic newspapers
have swung over to Mckinley. The
Philadelphia Press publishes a list of
l22 such papers. On the face of it,
this looks like coming landslide that
will bury the silver forces in
November. But the surface indica-
ton is not, there is reason to think,
trustworthy in this case. The contest
is assuming the phase of a fight be-
tween the people and the plutocrat.
When a "plutocrat" changes his poll
tics, it is heralded abroad in all the
papers; but if 100 of the people change,
there is no noise made about it. It is
this undercurrent that the Republi-
cans fear, and there is reason for their
fear.

The home of socialism as generally
understood is in Germany. Its great
leader is member of the German
Reichstag or Congress. His name is
DR.. Bruno SchOenlank, and in an in
teryiew given to the New York World,
he shows clearly that socialists as well
as anarchists are all goldbugs. He
says:
"We German socialists are absolute
ly opposed not only to the free coin
age of silver but also to bimetallism
whether by international agreement
or by individual national effort. We
| believe that the adoption of free sill
yer system would surely be followed
by the enhanced cost of all the neces-
saries of life"
