Charlottesville, Ind, Jan. 11.-The rails
Of the Chicago & Southeastern railroad
which crosses the farm Of Wesley
Grantham, near this city were torn W
and removed from the farm last Wei
nesday by Sheriff Canin, acting on a
writ of ejectment, secured by Grantham
in 1894. All traffic, including the govern
ment mail service was effectually block
ed.
Injunction proceedings were immedi-
a.tely filed against Grantham, but TODAY
in the circuit court, Judge West refused
to grant a temporary restraining order,
declaring that Grantham had already
been kept out of his property Sevea
years and that the constitution guaran-
feed him certain rights with which the
court did not propose to interfere. The
roads attorney asked that an order be
made giving the road possession until
the land could be condemned, but the
court refused this saying that the COM
pany had had seven years to do this and
had failed.
The court issued an order, however,
forbidding any further destruction Of
the roads property. Grantham's land is
guarded by armed men,
Last night two of the roads bridges
were blown up, one Of them so feet lorg

ney declares possession will not be relin-

labors, as meagre as these often are.
They build comfortable houses Of stone
and mortar, they make artistic pottery,
baskets and blankets and live peace
full and civilized life.
But their lives were not always as
peaceful and undisturbed by warlilSe
foes as they are today. Most of their
Pueblos are yet placed on high mesas
and bluffs where they are more secure
from the attacks Of foes who came in
the old days to rob them OF the fruits
of their toll and industry.
Then these peaceful people were
forced to take to the hills and build for
themselves, fortress houses on the high
nesas and in the caves and clefts Of the
cliffs and rocks. Where the rushing
torrents of water had followed cut
great clefts and crevices, they walled up
the front, divided the space into rooms,

HAVE CHANGED PLACES.
Republican Senators Now in Position
of Populists Two Years Ago.

The senatorial committee on elections
has a peculiar proposition to decide. The
attorneys for Senator Ross whose seat
is being contested by Finley made the
claim to the committee that the con-
test was not legal as the statement Of
contest had not been certified by the con-
testant within thirty days after the vote
had been canvassed-
Milton Brown, who is attorney for
Finley, was senator in 1898 when the
Populists We're in power. He was a
members of the committee on elections
and when the cases of contest came be-
fore the committee he took the same
grounds then that the Populists are TAX
ing now. He and United States Senator
Baker, then a state senator, both signed
the minority report of the committee
and it is the same report that the Popu-
lists are now springing on the Republi-
cans On the other hand the Republi-
cans are taking the same ground that
the Populistss who were then in the ma
jority, took.
The committee will probably find that
the clause in the law which requires the
statement of contest to be filed within
a certain time is illegal as they hold that
the constitution gives the senate and
house the power to decide upon contest
cases as it sees fit.

TRuR souTALIsM

TFrom the Boston Traveler.1
1.-THE community OF ownership plan
IS q new phrase for the concentration
and amalgamation of leading railroad
properties. In English easy to under
stand Il means that Standard Oil and
the Vanderbilts have Joined hands
through J. Pierpont Morgan for the pur-
pose or crushing out all railroad COM
petition throughout the United States.
What could not be accomplished by
pools and gentlemen's agreements be-
tween the high officials Of competing
lines is now guaranteed by the practical
concentration into one colossal system
which embraces with the lines depend
ent upon it more than half the railroad
mileage or the entire country.
Hin, Morgan. Rockefeller and Van
derbnt are the dfctators OF the vast
system upon which so much Of the en-
tire human activity OF the country must
depend. as the feeder which gives it
nourishment and strength
In this modern day when the country
is blocked or into special departments
OF production and industry, each de-
partment only producing one Of the
many things necessary for human ne
cessity, the dependence upon the rail-
roads as the means OF interchaneinr
PRODUCTS IS absolute.
Without these great arteries OF trade.
civilization as we now know it would
have been impossible
Therefore. on behalf OF the producing
classes who must exchange with each
other the commodities which they pro
duce and manufacture, we must admit
that serious doubts a. to the infalH-
bility Of the old saw that competition
Is the life Of trade have arisen and are
being accepted. We are beginning to
see that competition Is extravagant and
wasteful and that whatever affects the
profits OF the man who holds the title
to any commercial enterprise must
finally AFFECT the profits OF the wage
Garner.
To speak the plain, unvarnished truth,
the spirit OF socialism Is abroad in the
land Not the socialism which Is con
founded with anarchy OF that which is
