The Republicans are AL right sir.
All over the land, he said, the out

West are practically unhroken: there

wnarcongressman Cochran says.

Extracts from Congressman Coch-
ran speach ON the Chicago Conven-
ton.
We all know that Mr.. Cochran iS,
and has been lifelong Democrat,
never cast any other kind of ballot,
but now he calls a halt at the gate OF
anarchy, and warnes his friends not
to pass the danger line. Hear him:
No political convention can issue a
valid license to commit offences
against morality.
Il regard this situation as the grav-
est in the history Of the country.
The movement i an attempt 20
raralyze industry.
I'm Il contest for the eXistance of
civilization no man can remain nu-
tral.
Just read and ponder over these
genes of patriotic wisdom from the
lips of one of the ablest Democratic
statesmen in the nation. No true
friend Of his country, of law, of order
and safety can disregard the warning
given. They havesonly been equaled
by that great leader of men. Steven
A. Douglass. when he appealed TO his
Democratic friends to stand by
the flag and the gOvrnment in the
dark days of 1860.

Louis Houck's Two Little Railroads.

The big railroad systems have hlth-
erto been allowed to smash sat their
pleasure any little jerkwaterroad that
happened 10 be in their way. When
the Gould systemtook charge of Louis
Houck's two little roads in Southeast
Missouri. because they afforded a large
territory belonging to that system an
outlet to the river, thereby breakin g
down freight rates, it did so as a mat
ter of right. Custom makes law, and
as that sort of thing has become the
custom all over the country. the Gould
people supposed there would be no
objections. But Louis Houck is a
pig-headed fellow. He not only re-
fused to give up his property. but
went into court and made an awful
row about it. Some of the courts
said they guessed that Mr.. Houck had
no right to keep his property II the
Goulds wanted it. The Supreme and
Federal courts, with unusual prompt
ness, said they had guessed wrongand
that Mr.. Houck could retain his prop
erty. even if the Goulds did want it.
After the Gould people get over their
surprise several Judges will be taken
out, talked to and soundly spanked.
and will return to their duty in a
proper spirit of humility. If every
little jack-leg iinancier is 70 be al
lowed to start a railroad and ,urrep
titiously run their freight and pass
engers of to the Mississippi river,
how can this family support a French
Count:-lronton Register.

y straw From the Farmers.

The state Journal; is reliably in
formed that well-known agricultural
paper. whose circulation among the
farmers of the United States reaches
fully 10000. and which is in no sense
a political paper. has been tabulating
the expressions OF political opinion
that have been voluntarily given it in
business letters from its patrons. The
paper receives hundreds of letters
every day from its readers and sub
scribers among the farmers in all see
tions of the Union. In many cases
there has been some expression indi-
eating that the writer was either for
sound money or free silver. for Nc.
kinley or Bryan. y tabulation of
these expressions. covering several
thousand letters from all sections.
shows that the farmers favoring Me
kinley ana sound money number two
20 every one for Bryan and free sill
YER.
A. these eXDtessions were in no
sense solicited by the paper. they are
ali the more valua Bile, and are certain
ly strong proof that the farmers ofthe
United States are not hOcking to the
free silver standard as precipitately
as its advocates would have us be-
lieve. The majority of the farmers of
the United States have learned that
their interests are best promoted I'M
der protection and sound money, and
they do not intend 10 abandon a real
lty for L visionary theory like the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
