Almost Certain That the Seaboard will
Win the Fight.
Washington, Aug. 29.-The Star this
afternoon says: The announcement
of Judge Sinontoa, in reference to the
Injunction proceedings before him, in
which the Southern States Freight AS
ISOLATION and Seaboard Air Line were
defendants is expected within a day
or two. The impression prevails that
Judge Simonton viii Tin his opinion,
deal mainly with the question of juris-
dction. Some of those who followed
the arguments delivered when the pro-
&C edings were pending before the court
are convinced that the claim that he
had no jurisdiction in the matter will
be sustained, and although this would
be really change of position on the
part of Judge Simonton, he will not
hesitate TO take that ground if he is
convinced that he should do so.
A Southern Railway official said that
If the decision is that the court has
no Jurisdiction III will open the way
for renewal of the fight if the
Seaboard has a disposition to force the
matter. There are, however, some
railway men who believe that it has no
Jurisdiction in the case. The Port
ROYAL and Augusta road. which was
the plaintiff in the original action, will
appeal the case and the whole
question will eventually be brought
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission if not the Supreme Court of
the United States.

PRESS COMMENT.
n Democrat.

The Democratic party is 100 years old
his year. No other party has lived so
long and no other party ever can, be-
cause no other principle is right when
applied to government of the people
except Democracy. In November, 1896,
Thomas Jefferson was installed as vice
president with j. Q. Adams as president,
Jefferson having received fifty-nine votes
in the electoral college for president and
Adams sixty-eight, giving the country a
Federalist president and a Dem ocratic
e-president, under the existing law of
the time. At that time the Democratic
party was called Republican. The Demo
cratic party for the past 100 years has
held within it's ranks the masses of the
people, the active spirits of this glor-
sus republic, men who cared nothing
for inherited name or fame, men who
believed that none have rights that
others are not bound to respect; men
who glory in their own individuality
and value everything only for what
1t shows itself to be and despise pre-
tension fraud. Democrats are not the
kind of people to elect man president
because he wore grandpa's hat, or to send
a son of Grant to fat mission in Austria
or make Bob Lincoln minister to Eng
land because his father was president. A
Democrat has supreme contempt for
so-callea royal power and the inherited
Office of kings. No man can be Demo-
crat If he expects popular favor on what
his father did. 1t is what you are and
what you do that Democrat admires.
true Democrat believes that all royal
power is a fraud and that kings are sim
ply paupers in disguise, men who never
earned a right to occupy the exalted po-
sition held by them, men who are salaried
because of being born and not for any
real worth to the country. In Demo
cratic America poor mans son has the
same opportunities as the rich and
favored. Hard work is what counts and
it is right that it should be thus. To be
a true Democrat is an honor and in the
number of them rests the future of the
United States of America.-Eddy Current.
