(AN IuIS Re TKII .

Mr.. De Almond of Missouri. made what
sounds to us like strange statement
in the House Of Representatives on Sat
urday last. He said that
"A large majority Of Democrats ex-
pected their representatives, in Con-
gress 10 oppose Republican poll
Giles. They had not contemplated that
there would be any considered or
accidental occurrences Of Democrats In
n policy born in Republican councils Tor
the overthrow Of the Democratic party.
There IS where ] started on this ques-
ton; that is where 1 am; that is where
7 shall remain, and / expect the people
behind me TO endorse that attitude
The real meaning OF this is that Demo-
Gratis expect their representatives to OPP
pose all Republican measures. whether
they be good measures or bad measures
Can this be true?
we cannot believe IT. For ourselves
we utterly repudiate Any such idea.
What we desire is to see good govern
ment, and though we much prefer TO see
the Democratic party constructing and
putting into effect whatever IS TO be the
rule, yet we will not tolerate the thought
OF opposing a good measure merely be-
cause It is brought forward and advocated
by the Republicans. That is not states
manship. 1t is reckless partisanry, and
partisancy that must end in the utter
degradation OF the party that adopts It
as its policy.

am not talking sections. Major Tyler IL

vour question, the Southwest. under nor
mai conditions. is not Republican. Such
an unjust slap at the Southwest as your
question implies might call forth from the
men of the Southwest the equally unjust
answer that IT always went Democratic
until Mr.. F,llyson assumed the chairman
ship. So you can see how unwise 1t Is to
run into such a line Of argument.
unjust slap at the Southwest" indeed!
II seems to us that the unjust slap has
come from Judge Tredway. The idea that
the pcople Of the Southwest would turn
away from the Democratic party to the
Republican party. because they have not
had as many Offices as they think they are
entitled to. or because the chairman OF
the Democratic party has not dealt I'D
orally with them, is a reflection on the
good people of that community which,
however unintentional, Is. nevertheless
most unjust. In tho last Presidential cam
paign many of the best men IN inc Sou'h-
west who had always voted the Denio-
cratic ticket. refused TO give the chicago
platform and the nominee Of that conven-
ton their support. but it was not for any
such reason as Judge Tredway intimates.
They REFUSED 20 support Organism ana
free silver, for the reason that they diu
not believe In II. There was no question
Of State politics involved In that cam
paign, 30 that the question Of "recogni-
ton" in the matter of Office holding IN the
State could not possibly have been the IS
sue. Politics is not a mere matter Of Office
holding with the people at large. There
are those who deal in politics as matter
Of business and with them office holding
is everything. but they are the exceptions.
The great body Of people IN Southwest
Virginia and in other sections Of Virginia
recognize that there is a principle in poll
tics and the people Of the Southwest VINO
refused to support the Chicago platform
were actuated by principle. The question
OF Office holding was not considered.

THE NEW YORK WORLD CROPPING II
THE DARK.

On Tuesday last we reviewed the doc
,riro commended for by Mr.. William j.
Rrvan before the Supreme Court OF the
limited States. that the reasonable Iales
which the Nebraska Railroad Commits
sion was TO allow the railroads to charge
was a rate that would pay reasonable
interest upon a sum Of money that would
duplicate the present road. we
argued also that the suggestion of
the court 10 Mr.. Bryan that
the money invested In producing the
road ought TO be allowed for, was as
far from the true rule as Mr. Bryan's
contention. That the true principle Tor
adjusting rates as for conducting all
other business, IS TO charge for the ar
,icle an that It will bear. The New York
World had reviewed Mr.. Bryan's pro9o-
sition and had contended that the court
suggestion contained the principle upon
which the reasonableness Of a rate was to
bo determined, and we pointed out that
II was as far wrong as the court.
The World replies TO our article and
after quoting its essential proposition it
says:
This is perfectly true and sound I'm
every case where free competition exists.
But when the men or the railroad com
panies whose competition should regulate
charges upon q scientific principle set
aside that principle by conspiracy among
themselves The rule docs not work.
Under free competition the freight
ll ter "a ID a.
self as 10 pay fair profit TO the railroad.
while leaving a fair profit TO the producer
and fair price 10 the consumer. But when
the railroad companies combine 10 take
all the profit and exact as freight
charges "all that the traffic will bear.
the consumer is forced 90 pay an eNor-
bitant price and the producer IS robbed
OF his profit on production. Still worse
S. the evil when the railroad managers.
I'm collision with shippers. make discrim-
mating rates. charging one shipper or the
shippers OF one town more than they
charge other and more favored shippers
BY this device towns have been ruined
and merchants have been reduced TO
bankruptcy by the arbitrary will of rail-
road managers who stood in" with com
pcting towns or rival merchants"
Now We insist that the World" IS
cropping I'm the dark and holding on to an
exploded idea that Is wholly discard
ed by the. thinkers who consider this sub
ject IN all it's hearings and who know
that natures laws are the best laws that
man can submit himself to. Rates are
not brought 10 their normal state by
competition Unbrided competition I'm
these days OF steam and electricity. when
every move In any quarter OF the world is
instantly met In any other quarter OF the
world means simply destruction, TO the
competitors Under these conditions The
only possible brake that can be put upon
the competition that destroys is the
pool" or the trust whereby the com
peting roads or other parties agree be-
tween themselves TO end competition and
TO make an equable division Of the
business between themselves.

WINGED that Richmond is certainly reiig-
ious city. All the churches were crowded

results in cxtortion practiced upon tho
public. IL clings to Old times, middle-ago
notions Of polltacal economy that all I'D
vanccd thinkers have either discarded or
arc rapidly discarding.
Railroad managers will not plumber tho
public merely because they have the OPP
portunity TO do 20. Philanthropy is not
what restraints them. IL philanthropy
alone were involved thoy would probably
plumber to the full extent Of the OPP
portunity. Their self interest Is what
rostrains them. They do not make any
thing like as much money out Of plumber
as they do out Of fair dealing. mer-
chant makes more money by selling large
quantities OF an article at a>sman profit
than by selling small quantities OF 1t at
a large profit. IL is the direct interest OF
the merchant therefore TO sell his goods
at the lowest price consistent with
reasonable profit TO him because that is
tho system that makes him the most
money.
Tho same principle applies 10 tho rail-
road. The cheaper its rates. the moro

what the cost of construction was or how

effect of diminishing the business and

is TO cheaper the rate and thereby in

THE sITUATIoNINEA EASTERN EUROPE.

Out Of the smoke Of battle which hangs
over the Graeco-Turkish situation, some
points appear clearly which should be
borne in mind in forming any judgment
Of this new development Of the Eastern
question, a question which has ALWAYS
been a bette noir" TO European diplo-
matists, and the solution OF which is one
Of the fruits. which time alone will bear.
The leading facts are simply these:
The Turks. a fierce and semi-civilized
people, have dominated with ferocity
every country over which they have OBJ
tanned control. The distinction Of race
and the teachings OF their religion have
given them a pitiless contempt for the
Christians under their rule. The Turk
is brave and proud, but he has been
taught that the scmeter is the best argu-
ment, and that paradise awaits all who
fearlessly follow the teachings of the
Prophet
The Christians under Turkish rule. who
are Of Greek origin. bear a terrible re-
sentiment and hatred for the Turks who
have been their oppressors for centuries.
They have now reached the point Of des-
peration. and when people are Indifferent
as 10 the issue of life or death in carry
ing out their purpose. they are hard to
control This is the situation between
the Turks and the Greeks.
The extraneous influences which involve
Europe in this controversy are primarily
due to the anxious desire. on the one
hand of Russia TO possess Constantine
pie. and thus give her an outlet for her
Black Sea provinces. an outlet which is
open all the year round. and not like the
Baltic frozen up for long months to-
gether. and on the other hand to the deep
determination Of England to preserve
at Constantinople a separate government.

sumcd some years ago an acute stage in
the Afghanistan war. when Russian
troops tried to cross the Himalaya noun

IL was England's men-of-war with shot

Russia in the Turko-Russian war OF
twenty years ago. when Constantinople
was about TO fan into tho hands of the

Nobody wants It. But we believe that

out the results We have Indicated.
