M'KINLEY AGREES.
He Sanctions the Sale of the Union
Pacific Railroad.

Chicago, Sept. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington Says:
The Union Pacific reorganization
committees proposition for the settle
ment of the Company's debt to the
United States will be accepted, the
government mortgage will be fore
closed, the road sold aud The company
reOrganlzed.
This statement is made on the high
est authority. For several days past
the president has had conferences
with the representatives Of the
company and with the attorney
general, and before he left Washing
Ton lie agreed to the sale Of the road
aud its reorganization upon the basis
which the reorganization committee
suggested. The announcement Of the
decision may be looked FOR a. an early
date. 1t will come in an order for
foreclosure issued by the president to
the secretary Of the treasury.
The agreement to which President
Mckinley has decided to give his
sanction is The same which was sub
mitIed tOcOnFresS by President Cleve-
land last January. Under this agree
ment the reorganization committee
will bid for the road under fore
closure sale the sum Of s45, 754.059.
Ia order to give an ineligible state
menl of what this bid will mean to
the United States it is necessary to
enter briefly into the story OF the
Union Pacific obligation to the gov
ernment.
The principal debt OF the Union Pa
citic to the United States was s35, $780,
5l2. A portion Of this has not yet been
advanced by the United States. The
interest paid by tue government
amounts tOs36,954, 1913. Tie hole in.
debtedness on the first day Of July,
1897, was $40, 494, 4O5. The sinking
fund OF the Union Pacific, in the hands
Of the treasurer Of the Ulited States
on the same day was sl7,73S, 200.

There is no little dissatisfaction
about the discharge of Jerome En-
trekin on his own recognisance.
Jerome seems to have had a brother
in Ohio who was way up Repub-
lican. He was let out al his request.
Some are asking the question why
should man living in Ohio possess
ing political pull have any more in.
huence with the courts than the PEG.
pie of Kansas. Why should "polit.
ical pull" turn any man out on his owr
recognizance. Jerome's crime wa,

siderately? The tendency Of GU
courts in yielding to political pull

by forces that thwart the will of the
people and menace representative
government Since the birth of
this pubhc-indeed, almost within
the last generation-a new and pow
erful factor has taken its place in
our business, financial and political
world, and is there exercising a ire
mendous influence. From the con
troll Of great manufacturing plants to
the running Of bargain counters, from
the operation of railways to the con
duct Of cheese factories, and from the
m lnagement Of ca h of these Sinely
to the consolidation of many into
one of gigantic proportions, the cor
porat on has practically acquired
dominion over the business world.
The fleet OF this change upon the
American people is radical and rapid.
The individual is fast disappearing
as business factor and in his stead
is this new device, the modern cor,
poration. These corporations, nor
content with taking royal tribute
daily from the privare citizen, shift
upon him the chief support of the
government. The same disregard
OF The rights Of others and Of all OBJ
legations to thu state is shown in a
determined resistance to bearing a
just share of the burdens of taxation.
While this is coming to be some
what understood, yet rigid inves.
tigatlon Of this whole subject of the
evasion of taxation by corporations
and the possessors Of great wealth in
every state would awaken the jus,
wrath Of the people and inaugurate
reform that might reach even the

Our disgrnntled neighbor on Pig
Alley attributes the present "reign OF
lawlessness" to the incompetency Of
our Populist county attorney and
sheriff. That there is a considerable
"reign Of lawlessness" is true; and
it is equally true that the said "reign"
reigns in the city of Wellington a.
most exclusively. There is little il
any increase in lawlessness in any
portion Of the county outside OF
Wellington. In the city of yelling
ION for the first time in many
years we have a complete Republi,
can administration. Last spring
political lines were closely drawn,

Republicans must have a iull Repub
lican ticket to vote for; the Demo-
Pop mayor (Ssvage) must be thrown
out of the window bodily. They got
what they went after and in the get
ting get "reign of lawlessness. "
Savage's administration was bad
enough but up to this time the pres
ent Republican administration has
been infinitely worse. The Mail ad
mlts this but tries to spread it out
over the county in order to make
political capital against Populist
candidates. The Mail we'll knows

ecuted his duties more ex9 edtiously.
more accurately, more economical :,
more skilllully, and with less favorit-

ord differs from his Republican pre-.
deceSsors only in the fact that he has
not unearthed old crimes of ancient
days and travelled to the remote
parts of Maine and California at a
cost to the people Of 10 cents a mile
to gel criminals who for the lack oil
evidence must needs be acquitted
and turned loose agAia. He has
pursued a different policy and the
county is many dollars better off by
it. If the city of Wellington chooses
to go on and license malt joints for
the aggregate paltry revenue of 5000
per year, under the guise OF which
liquor is sold, men are made drunken
and cut aud stab and shoot each
