gram TO the Exchange Hotel yesterday

Saturday.
'I do hope that the committee viii act
promptly. and that the whole matter VIII
be brought to a speedy conclusion. Here
at the institution seems TO me to be the
best place to hold the investigation Tor
all the teachers and officers reside IN
Staunton, and other witnesses can be
summoned and brought here without de-
ranging the work of the schools
Il believe solemnly that there is nothing
in these charges, and all of the teachers

other accusers when they heard the news.

ure can be used, they, as a rule, will be
used. Especially is this true Of all
questions of National policies and i'm
pOrtsnt public measures, In which the
best learning and Ablest minds are en-.
listed on both sides of the question in
issue. 1t follows as q necessary corol-
larry Of this Well.knoWn rule that the
common and general use of unsound
and Illogical arguments by even the
ablest advocates of any given policy
or measure Is the bestpossible evidence
that really sound arguments In favor
of such policy or measure do not exist,
for if they-did exist they, and not falla-
cies, would be used.
1t is equally true that the lack of
logical basis for any given position
may be inferred from the fact that it's
advocates hsbitually indulge in mis-
representations, untrue statements,
and in Villlficstion and abuse of oppo-
nents.
Tested by either or both these stand
ards, the advocates of q single gold
standard and opponents of free coin.
age of silver must stand condemned.
The standard arguments of the oppo-
nents of free coinage of silver are:
First, that 1t twill give us a 5O-cent
dollar" itself contradiction in terms,
since one dollar means 100 cents.
Second, that free coinage will enrich
the mine and bullion owner by giving
dollar worth 100 cents for so cents
worth of silver bullion.
If one Of these arguments is well
founded the other cannot be, for under
free coinage the value of the bullion
and of the coin must necessarily be
the Psme; yet they continue to use
both, probably on the same theory as
that of the green hunter, who, seeing
something stirring in the grass, fired
and missed 1t. It proved to be a calf,
and when rallied for his poor marks
msnship, he said he aimed so as to hit
it If 1t was q deer and miss 1t if it was
a calf.
Again, it is urged that it will enable
men to pay their debts in 5O.cent dol.
lars-the same dollars which become
worth 100 cents when paid the mine
owner. AS silver dollar will to-day
buy as much of labor or its products, or
even more, than previous to 1873, this
argument is an admission that men
must now pay debts, taxes and all fixed
charges to the income-reCeiVing and
salsried classes in 200 cent gold dollars,
but this exsctlon of SO where but 81 is
justly due, does not seem to rack their
consciences and produce the heart
rending grief that the other alternative
does. Strange! that such difference
there should be, 'twixt tWeedledum
and tweedledee."
Once more: The lschrymose glands
OF every multi-millionaire, trust preSi-
dent, syndicate manager and railway
official are streaming fountains of Bit
ter, salty and very large tears, over the
threatened woe of the workingmsn
who will be paid In 5O-cent dollars. So
acute is the sympathy of railway and
other corporation managers for their
employees that notice has been served

clipping taken from the State JOWyo0
Of August IL:
"It was not so much his free silve
record that defeated Judge Martin, bu
his decisions adverse to mortgage anC
loan companies and against railroad
interests.
"Certain railroad interests rallied
against Martin. Mr.. M. A. Low, gen
eral attorney for the Rock Island, wal
present In the lobby of the Copeland
during the days preceding the conVen
tion and made an open fight against
Martin, Mr.. Low is a bold, sggres
sive fighter, and his warfare was opeI
and above board. The real situation
was revealed in a meeting that oc
Cured in the Copeland hotel the day
before. the convention.
"Martin went to Low and suggested
in his quiet way that Low was making
an unjust fight on him.
"'Not at all, Judge Martin, Low
said, looking him frankly In the face
Il do not regard you as a safe man or

but SO coldly as to chill Chief Justice
Martin, who, bowling in his dignifed
way, said: Very well, l guess we viii
have to get along without you.'
GAS the delegates began to gather in

CeiVed personal letters on the matter
were taken In hand and shown how II
was that David Martin was not q
safe man. Slowly but surely the
delegates were wheeled into line by an
unseen force that was as subtle as II
was successful"
Reading the above cannot fail to
arouse to anger every freeman of the

Carver "safe" man, and upon this
hypothesis it 10 fair to presume that
all candidates on the Republican ticket
are "safe" men from the standpoint Of

passed upon their nomination. This
explains the free transportation most

GOVERNMENT BY RAIL-

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-The investigs
tions In Chicago by Che Interstate Com
merce Commission o few days agO inCC
the matter Of discrimination in freight
EateS, has borne good fruit. While Che
Kansas grain dealers have known for
years that theyweEs being Disseminated
against by Che railroad companies, the
public did not know 1t; and now since
the United States Commissioners are
getting ct the facts, the Western farm
eFs and shippers may look for some re-
lief. Among other things a regular
pool was discovered to exist among the
railroads, and that one road had hauled
more than its proportion or quota of
freight and owed $4,000 to the pool,
bat refused to pay over the money.
Well, IT'S the old story, "When thieves
disagree" etc.
It was further In evidence that
the Santa Fe and Rock Island railroad
companies had agreements with Coun-
gelman and other big dealers through
which these shippers were enabled to
absolutely control the grain trade of
the West, The Iowa Development
Company Is another Of the shippers
enjoying the favor Of the railroad com.
pRnieB and Of which Chairman MOrri-
son says
lone matter which we feel like con-
demning Is thepartlculsr method Of con.
duCting transportation where railroads
employ another corporation created by
itself, and by and through which the
railroad company is enabled to and
does buy grain, sell grain through It's
own instrumentslity, and after paying
the charges and expenses, takes what
10 left Of the earnings for It's trsnspor-
tstion charges. This is said by the
newspapers to be shreWdness. It is
shrewd, but IL Is q clear evasion and
violation Of every provision Of the
interstate commerce law"
The writer has sndesVored to show
In former articles how the high local
rates In Kansas are used to cut and
manipulate through rates, and how
grain shipped to Missouri river towns
Is forwarded at the so.called balance
Of the through rate, which to an aver.
age mind is difficult to understand; and
right here Is where much Of the Jug.
Cling Of freight rates came in, and of
which the Commissioners say:
$50 far as the investigation has pro.
gTesSed we feel justified In calling at.
tention to one or two things. One Is
this method Of shipping from Missouri
river points. 1t Is a method under
which rates are given thstsre not avail.
able to the intelligence Of the ordinary
shipper. They are only available to
skilled shippers whose business has to
do with rates."
But with all the ordinations and re-
criminstlons OF the railroad officials
before the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission, while In session In Chicago,
and with the fierce railroad war now
raging east Of the Missouri river, by
which grain at present is carried from
Kansas City to Chicago for cents per
100 pounds, the railroads have not yet
seem &c to lower their rates In Kansas.
