Whether Col Clardy will take Col.

king of the lobby is also matter Of
speculation. but Phelps or Clsrdy, as
pass distributor aud lobby manager

The one thing for the people to know
Is that The railroads are looking out
for their own interests and sre organ
ICED TO dominate both political parties /;
that they corrupt every public man,
big or little, that they can en,iee over
to them by liberal use Of free passes
and other means when needed TO pro-
mote or defeat some measure 10 which
tho interests Of the railroads and the

the people to meet this unevon fight
for domination In public affairs, Is for
them to defeat for ofice every man
who h known TO be a favoritc OF the
pass Distributor and political tooser Of
the railroads, and pledge those whom
they elect to the Legislature TO work
and vote for some such measure as
that suggested In the RESOLUTIONS passed
by tho Democratic convention of Cape

From Tho Indianapolis sentinel.
Ii Is gratifying to note thai the pat
rons Of Ilnsbandry have taken up the
trust question In practical way. In
circular letter Aaron Jones, master
Of the national grange, calls attention
10 the necessity Of making defui,e,
practical issues on The truss question
10 the coming election. lie says
The time has come tor decisive &C
ton and when oil men who seek power
by trying to be elected TO Congress.
10 State Legislatures, as executives Of
States and the nation should clearly
define their positions on these gnes
lions. The people have n tight TO
know whether they will exert the
power delegated 10 them TO give trusts
further Lease 10 continue their method
or whether they will stand for the
common people, Words alone will
not do; promises must be followed
by action.
This Is plain common sense. We
have had oceans Of geaets' talk about
trusts, and The importance OF doing
something TO stop their imPOsitions,
by men who continue to de nothing In
that line. We have reached lie point
where definite measures are In view.
Mr.. Jones points ont two Of them as
follows:
There l. now pending In Congress
bill (thc Nelson bill, No. $500
that expressly provides that no unjust
charges shalt be made by common
carriers, and that no Discrimination
be made to individuals, localities or
commodities. Members Of Congress
have an opportunity In = decisive way
TO say how they stand on compelling
all transportation companies TO deal
justly with the people, and TO give 10
all equitable aud equal rates AAd priv.
iIeges.
The Senate has passed a ship sub
sidy bill. The bill e now before the
committee In the lower house Of Coo
gsess. This bin apprupTiatea large
sums Of msney TO ship owners and Is
framed In their interest and 10 the
interest Of some Of the railway sysleius
OF the United States. Ia che light Of
tho organization Of the Atlantic steam
ship trust Il would seem unnecessary
TO fear the passage Of this bill, but
nothing should DO taken for granted q.
! am Of the opinion that every cAndi-
date for Congress should be required
TO define how he will stand and vote
on these measures before the people
cast their ballots for him. When the
people delegate their authority TO tho
members Of Congress, they have .
right to know how that authority will
be exeFted.
The Nelson bin not only prohibits
unjust discrimination 10 railrsad rate
but also gives the interstate commerce
commission power 10 enforce lis rul
ings against such Determinations
which is The vital point Of the whole
matter. II a Congress can be elected
of men pledged against these two
measures, and legislatures thai Will
not vote for any man for Senator who
Is not pledged against them, VIC shall
soon have some practical dealing will
the trust question. But Il Is y waste
Of time to talk against trusts and =
the same time elect men 10 Legislative
Office who will do nothing Agains
them. Make the candidates tell when
where they stand.

The lndiana Coavsniion.

The Democrats Of Indiana have
adopted a good platform, bat they
have permitted the reorgAniziug ele-
ment to win a victory which will allen
ate more Democrats than il will draw

on the question Of imperialism, the fall
