Parties.

The number of political parties
seems to be on the increase, and if
their promoters can secure the
requisite following in 1898 to entitle
heir respective tickets to place
upon the Presidential ballot four
years hence large sheet of paper
will be needed upon which to print
it. The latest party launched upon
the troubled sea of politics has been
christened the United States party,
of which General Coxey seems to
be commandcr-in-ch CoXey as
sumed that the Populist party had
gone into the hands of a receiver
because it went in with the silver
winged Democrats, and so organized
another party for the accommoda-
ton of those of his friends who
didn't want to be Democrats. But
Gen. Coxey with all his vagaries
does not represent the only class
who want another political organiza-
ton. There are both Democrats
and Republicans who are clamoring
for the organization of non-partisan
honest money party. We are at a
loss to understand why Republicans
shouid desire this, but it is evident
that the so-called gold Democrats
would favor such a movement in the
hope of Strengthening their wing of
the Democratic party by securing
disgruntled Republicans and Re
publicans who regard the financial
issue as being paramount to that of
the tariff. The National party,
organized last summer as an offshoot
from the Prohibition party, is now
trying to find out where it is at, and
voting upon proposition to change
its name to Liberty party, the result
of which will be announced in
February. 1t is said that "variety is
the spice of life," and there will I'M
doubtedly be political variety enough
in 1900 to spice up the most exacting
in his demands.

Railroad Passes.

Established usage and law, supple
mented by judicial Interpretation in
courts ranging from the lowest to
the highest, have so clearly defined
the rights and responsibilities of rail
way companies as to reduce to a
low minimum the incentive for the
indiscriminate and lavish issue of
free railroad passes which prevailed
but few years ago. In recognition
of this fact railway corporations
have for some time been gradually
restricting the issue of passes, and
the time has now come when they
would view with a commanding
degree of complacency a code of
laws making the issuing of rail-
road passes to others than officers
and employees of the respective COM
panies, a penal otfense. The en-
actment of such law would abrogate
very fruitful source of annoyance
to railway officials and materially
simplify the list of reasons and
evasive pretexts for refusing to grant
requests for passes. For that eva
sive pretexts are used is painfully
apparent to many who seek these
favors. To illustrate this we will
observe that an official who enjoyed
'pull for passes" over certain
road recently applied for pass for
a friend. He was considerably in
formed that he could have pass for
himself if he desired it, but that ''we
can issue no pass for your friend
until we see what the Legislature is
going to do" OF course the official
knew Just as well as did the railroad
official who refused the pass upon so
gauzy a pretext, that whatever
action the legislature might take
weeks afterward could have no evil
effect upon a pass then issued to run
but a few days, nor work harm to
the company that might have issued
it. 1t is in our opinion practically
certain that an earnest effort on the
part of the Legislature to abate the
pass nuisance will meet with no
determined opposition from the
lobbyist employed by railway cor
porations, as such corporations feel
that they would be benefited by
restrictive legislation in this direction.
But, with all due consideration for
traditional virtue of legislative men,
bers with passes in their pockets; we
venture the prediction that the state
Lawmakers of 1899 will go to Mad
iscn on passes, unless the railway
companies shall on their own motion,
refuse TO furnish them.

1t is said that Tom Reed Of Maine
does not like WIN. Mckinley. As his
dislike is the result or jealousy and
envy, the people viii continue TO ad-

to the fact that the people Of this
great country do not care whether he
likes Mckinley or not.-Rice Lake

fit is a fact that there are personal
differences between Reed and McKin-
ley, depend upon it, they flow from
other causes than jealousy and envy.
Reed is a broad minded statesman,
and bis policy for a dozen years pas
has been the bedrock policy of the
Republican party. As Speaker Of the
House OF Representatives, it was he
who placed Mckinley on the com nit
tee Of advantage, gave him recogni-
