GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT takes great
delight in comparing the opposition to
the Philippine war with that which eX-
listed in the North to the war against
the South thirty-odd years ago, and
says the opponents deserve no better
treatment than the secessionists receiv
ed. If the Governor were wiser man
than he is, and knew little more
about the condition of this country be-
fore it's internecine war, he would not
only doubt the benefcent effects Of that
war, but might fear that those of the
present one may be more imaginary
than real.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. l4-The interstate

hearing Of complaint Of the ST. Louis

venors against the A. T. & s. F. railway
system and other transcontinental rail-
road lines today.
It was manifest today that while the
railway companies are nominal defend
ants in the investigation, the real fight
is one between the jobbers Of the Pacific
coas, On one side and those Of the
Middle West on the other. Indeed,
from a telegram sent by the Philadel-
phia hardware merchants association
TO the members Of the commission Mon
day. stating that that body sustained
the Pacific coast and railroad side Of
the question, it may be said that the
two sea coast sections. and country
tributary thereto. have united in tight
against the interior country.
All witnesses thus far have testified
that 1t was not on account Of an ex-
cessive rate exacted by the railroads
that their business on the Pacific coast
has been ruined. On the contrary, they
thought the rate very moderate. but

Committee Made Delegates.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee acted wisely in adopting the
new rule requiring that all delegates
to state conventions shall be selected
at primaries or by conventions of
duly elected delegates. 1t is unfor-
tunate, however, that even those
counties which had, prior to June 10,
decided to allow county committees
to name delegates, were excepted
from the general rule. 1t is un-
Democratic, unRepublican and un-
American to allow any committee,
no matter what the excuse may be,
to name delegates. That is not a
proper function of a party commit
tee and is certain to cause trouble
within the party.
The Democrats have taken step
in the right direction and the state
convention should put an end for
ever to the naming of delegates by
committees Col. Citizen.

Auditor Of State Guilbert was on
the ground In the interest OF Mobiles
candidate, DR.. H.. Cain, and AL
derman succeeded In delivering 30
OF Washington's 4S votes in ex-
change for Guilberps in his behalf
at Columbus. There is also said to
have been a striug attached to the
deal by which Noble shall support
a Washington County man against
Van Voorhis for Congress next
yeal. Morgan was loyal to the
Muskingum Congressman, how
ever, and fought Cain to a finish,
making his nomination impossible.
Washington finally took 27 of her
4S votes and went to Bright, Civ
ing him just enough to nominate.
Colonel Harry Knox, of Governor
BushnelPs staff, received no sup
port from the Administration, and
but little from any one else. Dur
ing the convention there was a
continual uproar in Washington's
delegation, which was divided be-
tween the factions in the proportion
Of about two to one. Noble County
went home, signifying by impress
i've silence what they would do to
Van V0orhis and Morgan County
next year. The Bushnell men
here, already angered by Guilbert's
support of Alderman, were still
more greatly ineensed by the for
mers' work for Cain, and passed
many uncomplimentary compli.

Judge $. III. Bright
The Republican Nominee in This Dis
trIct for Senator.

MARIETTA, OHIO, June 20.-The
Republican Convention of the
Ninth Fourteenth Senatorial Dis
trict, held here to-day, furnished
sequel to the Columbus fight over
the appointment to the State EX-
ecutive Committee of A. ID. Alder
man, with the same actors in gen.
eral appearing in the cast. Judge
Samuel II. Bright, "f Hooking
County, was nominated on the
thirty-eightb ballot by the votes of
Hooking, Athens and Washington,
after an exceedingly hot contest.
The affairs of the senatorial dis.
trict and Fifteei tn Congressional
District were somewhat tangled in
the melee. The strong fight made
by Congressman Van Voorhfs
against Alderman's appointment
had considerable bearing Oh the re-
ouiUs lliC lh'iGi . NiCtOI dS n

much soreness In the Administra-
tion camp in Muskingum County,

among The Kurtz Bushnell men in
this cou,ty, the home of Penitenti-
airy Manager, /. II. Rose.
1t may be stated that while Van
Voorhis and Rose, each at his sep
crate end of the line, have labored
together hlImoniously in the dis
trihution of Federal patronage,
neither Of tIlom has any use for
Alder man, and nothing could have
given theni more disgust than his
selection to represent the district

The Hooking Canal sale.

Chicago, H., June 24.-The Times
Herald, in to-day's publication on
the Foraker-K X ohlsaat controversy,
takes up the case of the sale of the
Hooking canal to a railroad COM
pany, and makes the following COM
ments: "And they do say that the
old Hooking Valley railroad has paid
enormous sums into the Foraker law
firm in attorneys fees. What con-
nection had Foraker with all this?
Why, nothing, of course. The Co.
lumbus, Hooking Valley and Athens
railroad, which got the canal con-
cession, was incorporated soon after
the 1894 legislature met by Elias M.
Poston, George w. Lamb, Andrew
Bauman, Charles b. Cowan and
Abram b. Horne. Poston is an as
sociate of Charles l.. Krutz in fran
chise schemes, and Krutz, in turn,
has been the partner and private
secretary and confidential man of
Senator Foraker in politics and lob
bying. Lamb was a member of the
legislature from Fairfield county.
The others were small business men
along the line of the proposed road.
What became of the bond for COM
pletIon of the road? 1t was filed in
due form. 1t never has been collect
ed. Attorney General Monnett has
commenced suit on it, only to find
that the succeeding Legislature had
extended the time for completing
the road without mentioning the
bond matter, and that, say the law
yers, invalidates the bond. The road
was bound to pay the $4,000 bonus
for the canal on July l, 1894, and did
but has never paid the $4,000 re-
quired January of each succeeding
year. Now NJ. w. Basse, of New
York, is suing for that $4,000 bonus,
which, he says, he was induced to
pay by fraudulent representation
But the canal concession is still in
the possession of the Foraker, alias
Kurtz, crowd. 1t runs through the
heart of the new Sugar Grove nat
ural gas belt, and the owners of il
have 70 foot strip of land AZ miles
long in which to drill gas wells.

him to convince the Standard Oil
people that Monnett could be pulled
off, Foraker being responsible for
Monnett's nomination and election.
