In so me of the Western States the
railroads and the States have locked
horns. In Minnesota the State laws
pr ohibit the consolidation of parallel
lines. The Great Northern Railway
desired to consolidate several roads
running in the same general direction.
In order TO do so a cha ar was obtain
ed in New Jersey called the National
Securities Company, which allows it
to do what the State of Minnesota
does not allow. Now the question
comes up as to whether New Jersey
can grant charter which permits a
thing to be done in Minnesota contra
ry to Minnesota laws, and if so,
W neither the courts will sustain such
charter. If the courts do the charter
State will become the most
powerful in the Union.

PARTISAN MALICE.

The Washington Pest, which is an
mI laca lie and relentless enemy of
William ]. Bryan, in criticising in its
Oitterest vein some of that gentleman
as to the mode of curing
in part says:
Can We make pure souled patriots |
out of anarchists by assuring them
that the gold standard-the standard
of the commercial worlds cruel and |
intolerable oppression =? Was that
'cross of gold" speech which made
Mr.. Bryan famous calculated TO make
men ready to die for their government?
Take all his speeches and writings
since that time-includlng his tour IN
Kentucky to uphold Goebelism and
his consulting with Croker in New
| York take the whole output from
| 1896 to 1902, and how much of it is an
inspiration to love our government
Who can tell whether the mind of
the anarchist is more polluted by Bry-
ans speeches than the Post editor ials ?
The fling, therefore. at Bryan in this
article is of a coarse order. Mr.. Bryan
has as much right to dislike the gold
standard as the Post has to be in love
with it, and it was never yet treason
to proclaim against it,or any currency
fgislation. AS good men as were ever
inside the Post building, much less on
it's editorial staff, were the friends of
Goebel. The Post out of choice trains
with Goebel g assassins 1t can pick
its company. AS between Tom Plat,
whom the Post doubtless admires, not
for his "wobbly legs az William AL
len White calls them, but for his wObbly
, politics, and Richard Croker, the aver
! age citizen does not see wherein Platt
excels Croker in political decency.
. How does the Post attribute to Mr..
Bryan the seeds of anarchy? Guitteau
was Republican, Czolgosz was Re.
publican, and voted for Mckinley
Goebel's assassin was Republican.
These are the arch anarchists of today,
Has Bryan any such graduates from
his school? This shows the malicious.
ness of the attack.
il 1t strikes us, however, that as q
breeder of anarchists the following
have much more to do than Bryan's
speeches.
The shooting of laborers as occurred
at the Homestead works not long since
Injunctions by F ederal courts, and
Imprisonment of workmen because
they disobey the courts order.
Imprisonment of labor leaders like
Inglesais in Porto Rico, because he
was trying to aid his fellow laborers in
lettering their wages.
The formation of great trusts for
the spoliation of the people.
The Seizure of the Federal govern.
ment by the money power and the
operation of it for plutocratic ends.
The imperial tendency of the leaders
of the dominant party.
| These and many more causes might
be cited, all of which the Post applauds
advocates and approves.
Is there anything in them to make
''men ready to die for their govern
ment"?

Complaint is made by some Repub-
lican journals that Mr.. Bryan in his
recent speeches dealt largely in plati-
tudes, and said nothing new. Journals
which almost every day vouchsafe the
original and startlingly novel assertion
that Bryan and free silver are dead, !"
can of course with propriety sriticise
others whose utterances do not bristle
with points, OF seintillate with
epigrams.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilner's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 20 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra

realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
