During the last twenty years OF
more there has been scarcely a
prominent Democratic leader in
Ohio who has not felt the results OF
John r. McLean's antagonism,
either personally or through his
Cincinnati Enquirer. The one time
followers and admirers of such
Democrats as Thurman and Pendle-
ton are not likely to be at this time
harboring any too friendly feeling
toward the man who in years past
betrayed their principals.

While Admiral Dewey is an ex-
tremely modest man, he has no
mock modesty. Having decided to
accept the home for which money
has been donated, he told the COM
mittee in charge of the fund, that
he preferred they should buy a
house, and furnish it complete, so
that he could just walk in and hang
us his hat, because he would like TO
utilize it this winter, in entertain
ing his friends he also gave the
committee very explicit directions
as to where he wished the house to
be located. Before leaving Wash
ington for New England, Admiral
Dewey accepted an invitation to go
to Atlanta, Ga, about Nov. 1st,
and re-engaged quarters at the
family hotel in which he lived when
last in the city, which he will &C.
cupy when he returns, until the
committee buys him n house. The
Admiral expects to be in Washing
ton when President Mckinley re
turns, which is likely to be about
the goth inst.

Gen. Otis is showing, by unusual

wait either for the reinforcements

on the advice of Admiral Dewey. or

gin the work of crushing out the
the Filipino rebellion. The military

testified before the industrial commits,
sion against the Standard Oil company
and the railroads, which he declared
were robbers and brigands" He
quoted A. ]. Cassatt. the new president
of the Pennsylvania railroad, as testi-
flying before the interstate railway
commission that while the open rate
to the public was ST. 80 a barrel, the
rate to the Standard company wai
eighty cents. Further investigation,
said Mr.. Lockwood, had developed the
fact that the railroad companies act,
ually received ouly thirty-five cents
This condition of affairs had resulted
for time, according to Mr.. Lock,
wood, in giving the Standard company
a profit of 400 per cent while the in
dependent re6neries were driven rap
idly into bankruptcy.
IF you have got to be robbed" he
exclaimed, lit does not matter muck
whether you are held up by Dick Tur-
pin with a pistol or by John D. Rookie
feller with a railroad; it's robbery, all

He said that men who had carefully
anaiyzed the testimony taken before
the Hepburn committee estimated that
in 1856 months the five trunk lines Of
Pennsylvania had paid the Standard
company S11, NO, 700 in rebates.
Speaking of the remedy for the evil.
Mr.. Lockwood said it was in public
ownership of the railroads and not to
be found in courts-the courts were
too slow and expensive.
THE railroads and the oil company
can razoo q man up and down in the
courts for ten years." he said, until
he is ruined, and theh 60 on with
their work, leaving their victims
stranded. As reward, the combines
elevate their instruments to higher

monopolistic tendencies, who would do
