Topeka Capital: Examples might
readily be cited In Kansas, where the de.
velopment of enterprise in this State is
crippled and prevented by railroad
charges as compared with charges on
the same production imported from
other States.
New York World: The complaint
which is made, and made with reason,
is not against corporations in general,
but against the lawless and fraudulent
acts of such corporations as attempt to
take advantage of public necessities or
to control public policies.
Helena (Mont) Independent: Hsv.

of Idaho have begun to form clubs for
the study of political economy, sociol-

cerning government. 1t is remark
able fact that women's clubs are, as a
rule, study clubs; remarkable because
that is not true of mems clubs.

Louisville Courier. j Journal: Quite
million of conscientious, high'minded
Democrats voted for Mr.. Mckinley, in
spite of his protectionism, to save the
country from the anarchy and repudi-
alton that immediately threatened it.
They knew precisely what they were
about. It was an admitted choice Of
evils, and they sunk the one In the
other. They took the lesser to escape
the greater.
Boston Post: The year 1897 hardly
promises to be as favorable to the In
terests Of the trusts, or lndustrials, As
they are more euphoniously called, as
their friends would have us believe.
In fact, it looks as though the trusts
had difficult shedding ahead of them In
spite of the fsvoring legislation which
they expect from the present Congress
in the shape of tariff more protective
to their interests.
Chattanooga News Democrats don't
need "to get together" but they need
to gather in some of the lost sheep that
strsyed from the fold under the delu-
sion that the election of Mckinley
meant prosperity. Most Of them
worth having, however, are coming
back Of their own accord. Those of
the deserters who were Republicans at
heart will never come back and are
not wanted back.
Louisville Post: Democrats have
their own party interests to serve.
They want party peace, not party
strife. All over the State they are get.
ting together. They are looking not
to the past, but to the future. They
are engaged this year in electing not
Republicans, but Democrats. They
are opposing, not fsvoring, fusion.

Twentieth Century: There was great
mass meeting in New York several
days ago under the auspices of Arch.
bishop COrrigan, for the purpose Of
considering the social betterment of
the masses. The fact which shines
forth brilliantly in this event, is the

clergy that they must offer the toiler
something more than hope of being
perpetuslly happy in the next world as
a compensation for his woes in this.
Burlington Hswkeye: During the
State oratoricsl contest recently held

Dallas News: The underlying pur-

reality the abandonment of popular

Gas Explosion in the London Underground
Railway.

London. April 26.-A tremendous ex.

railway at s. 80 O'Clock this afternoon as

was making its usual stop at the AL
dersgate station. The glass roof of the
station was blown out and the platform
wes strewn with debris. Many of the
gas lights in the waiting rooms and on
the platform were extinguished and the
station was left In semi-darkness. A
general panic ensued.
When comparative quiet had been re-
stored it was found that q tirst-cIass

and that its occupants we're lying about

jured were found to be in precnrious

standing on the platform were also hurt.
Much of the wreckage was hurled
across the station.
HThe cause of the explosion is not
known, but it is believed to have been
the result of a collection of gas which
became ignited in some way. Many
persons, however, believe that the is
aster was not due to accident, but was
caused by the explosion of bom ID
