Teierre8 . tie Me%ican
The conclusion that The Posts failure to mention
the incident referred to in the foregoing "an
sight" is correct II The Post had had such incl
dent within it's information at the time, It would have
condemned the effort at Jury packing strongly
it has condemned the speculative damage suit evil
And it would have mattered not to The Post wheth-
the attempt at such rascalty and fraud upon the
procedure Of the courts made by railway compa-
ny OF by a private citizen
When railroad lawyers undertake sharp practice in
the defense of actions they clearly subject to
sanitary discipline By the courts and by public opinion

OF course The Post does not attack the damage
suit as such Many such suits have a substantial
bnss Of action and brought in legitimate profes.
sonal way by reputable attorneys. Such suits and the
reputation Of the attorneys speak for themselves The
very administration Of justice presupposes that damage
suits will and should be brought. The effort OF The
Post in the premises has been simply to arouse public
opinion to the magnitude Of evil that is based purely
speculation and popular prejudice against corpora
tons Responsible newspapers able to speak ac
euratey and intelgently this matter from per
sonal experience Of their own
The docSets Of the courts crowded with fryol

that the corporations the costs at last They in
turn and in various ways compel the people to pay the
freight"
1t is the abuse Of legal privileges and professional
ethics amounting in its present proportions to a public
evil against which The Post and other fairmnded pa
pers have been invoking healthier public opinion.

of the burden which speculation in damage suits pill

OHIO REPUBLICANS THROW OFF THE MASK.

The Post is not particularly anxious to say 81 told
you So, when it comes to matter of cutting down the
Souths representation in congress in electoral
college but the action of The Ohio State republican
convention in demanding that such reduction of the
Souths political power be made is especially called to
the attention of those Southern and some of them
Texas papers that have protested to laugh the ug
gostion that the republican party had any such
purpose.
This new State platform in Ohio, in fact, contains
practically but this demand" amid mass of
rhetorical Qualification of and false claims for the re-
publican party I'VE demand, it says that represen-
tation in congress and in the electoral college shall be
based on the actual voting population proportionate
reduction being made for any State in which the right
OF suffrage is denied except for crime"
The significance of this formal demand in the prem.
ises by the Ohio republicans arises from the notorious
fact that Senator Hanna has completely dominated
the convention which adopted it, and that what Sena.
tor Hanna urge upon the administration will gen.
orally be accepted by Mr.. Mckinley
1t was policy not to press this subject last year
Since then the Senate has become more strongly re.
publican well he house We have now straight
out and thoroughly republican congress- ready not only
to follow administration suggestions, but to perform
any work, however bold or revolutionary that may be
thought necessary for the perpetuaton of republican
control of the government II it should be felt that
the democracy has chance OF carrying the election
in 1904 the present congress would hesitate mo-
ment to cut nown the Souths power in the electoral
college, If such thing be possible With supreme
court ready by vote of majority to overthrow the
constitution in order TO meet the political exgenses of
the party in power congress could confidently hope for
nylneeded assistance from that quarter
There is growing fear in the North of the South's
rapid development in population and wealth There is
hope entertained in Northern circles il is trle
that the democratic soidity OF the South may be
broken and itis this idea it said iat has rendered
Mr.. Mckinley at least indifferent this matter of the
