be disgrace to Alabama and a severe

Senator Morgan has confidence in
his constituents and says "They are

bribes OF selfish railroads who want to
defeat the canal bill" II is to be
hoped that he is right. The friends

REPUBLICAN TRUST FARCE

There is every indication that the
Repub ublican managers intend to con-
tinue through the preside cam
paign the roaring farce that began
with the introduction of an antitrust
amendment in tie house and halted
when the house bill amending the
Sherman anti. trust act was coffined in
the senate. Necessity knows no law
and the Republicans, seeing the i'm
perative necessity Of having some an
swer to the charge that their party in
congress did nothing at all to check
the activity of the monopolistic com
bines, feel compelled to affect a ser.
ious air while they point with coun-
terteited pride to that preposterous
amendment which died in the house ot
representatives, belabored and rent
with argument and invective and ridi
cule until its best friends could hard
ly refrain from unseemly laughter al
it's woe-begone aspect. And stern ne
cessity compels the destitute to poin
to the passage Of the antitrust Law
bill through the Republican houst
with only one dissenting vote, whil,
they try TO gloss over the fact that i
lies in serene composure in pigeo,
hole in the north end OF the capitol
with no more chance OF being enacted
than porpoise would have to climb

made up. He is unsafe politically
and his anarchistic mouthings in the

not go down in Oklahoma.
After inducing Joseph Sipes to play
baby at I'll Reno, and having wrought
split in convention, johnson turned
his attention to Indian Territory Dem

to keep their political riff-raff at

lahoma City and Purcell bolted the
Ardmore conven tion with the Macrum
forces, and, later, actually had the

ton, after the latter had won out.
Johnson wants Office awfully bad"
The Purcell Register says
The Oklahoma Democrats met al

by splitting into two factions. By the
way, Colonel Johnson, who led the re
voting crowd at El Reno, was on the
advisory board of the Wolvertonites al
this place. Is the boiling fever con
tagious?"
Johnson is a political rump; in six
months of '96 he was gold-bdg, q

This year he is conver ton dlsrupter
