hog cholera has reached a serious

unique theory is that dogs, for some
unaccountable reason, when coming
across dead hog, rub against it.
They are thus infected, and in driving
the hogs communicate the germs of
the disease to the live animals.

THE WORK OF THE AMERl.
CAN CONGRESS.
The Importance Of Selecting
Men Who Represent the
Peoples Interest.

Various influences have brought
about the present industrial situation
in the United States and the threat
ening power Of the trusts and their
managers.
Most influential has been the natural,
inevitable tendency toward concentra.
tion of power. Natural laws, which
can never be thwarted, have brought
about the elimination Of competition
and the substitute on of wide organic.
alton for the separate struggling,
scheming and competing of individ.
uals.
Nothing could have prevented ulti
mately the growth Of great industrial.
combinations. One feature Of our
economic system, the tariff, has facili-
tated the trust development, and
pushed 1T forward with rapidity I'M
healthy in itself, and productive of
recklessness and arrogance among
trust leaders. :
The trusts have been organized to
exploit the people through elimination
OF competition. And tariff laws, mas
querading as measures Of protection
for the individual workingman, have
built protecting wall around the
trusts and their extortions.
The Beef Trust charges what it
pleases. In reply to protests, it points
with Sneer to the tariff wall anC
says:
"Pay what say, for that wall keeps
you In my power. :"
With the avariciouS heads of indus.
trial trusts the great railroad corpora
tions have co-operated faithfully ano
effectively.
Now comes the great Ship Trust, to
.5oin with the railroads in fixing the
trust net firmly over the whole coun-
try.
There is very important work mark
ed out in the immediate future for
the people Of this country, which
means for the natiodal Congress.
The most important man in the
country to-day is the candidate for
Congress.
Congress alone representing the
whole people, can deal with the situa.
tion. And THIS is the situation, as IL
stands as present:
In the State of Pennsylvania are bur
led the beds of anthracite coal upon
which millions OF people rely for pro.
lection against the Winter. One trust
has in its power all OF these coal beds
1t,is fortified by absolute monopoly,
by a conspiracy in which the railroads
support it.
Steadily this Coal Trust has increas-
ed the price Of coal, and patiently the
people have submitted to the success
sise increases.
But now comes new development:
There is strike in the coal regions:
the men that dig the coal out Of tae
ground demand decent treatment.
Theyhave beenoverworked,u nderpaid
and VIGOROUSLY robbed in the weigh
ing Of the coal which they dig out Of
the earth. The trust weighs the coal
Itself and compels the minor to. pro-
duce about nine hundred pounds extra
for every ton.
The trust calmly says that it will
not make any agreement with its
workmen, and it cannot mine the coal
without them.
And the Trust says insolently to the
whole people:
You can pay t,centy dollars a ton aao,o
and freeze afterwards. For you shall
haze mo coal until these miners start to
aoork at,,der '1ay orders, at aeages .taed By

What promises to be an important
case against railroad companies is ex-
pectedsto develop in tho trials against
the Illinois Central, Chicago Great
Western and the Rock Island rail
ways. which have been indicted by
the grand Jury at Waterloo on the
charge of conspiracy. The indict-
ments were found by the grand jury
and are an outgrowth of an alleged
violation of the demurrage system,
which provides fro charge Of 81 a
day on all cars that are held by ship
pers for more than forty.eight hours
for unloading purposes. 1t is alleged
in the indictment that these three
companies entered into an agreement
to charge different rate, and the ar.
rangement, If there was one, is in
direct violation of the state law of
Iowa, which prohibits railroad pooling.
The action was brought at the Insti-

to have been entered into by the
roads. which was for the benefit of
some shippers and to the detriment OF
others.
