An Attack ON the Trusts.

The promptness with which a
bill has been introduced in Congress
for tho regulation of the trusts
shows the earnestness and the cour-
age of the Republicans in their
promises to bring the combines i'll
to regulation by the government.
Senator CulIum has introduced a
bill which amends the Sherman
antitrust; act 1890 by prohibiting
interstate commerce in articles pro-
duced by trusts. and; by affiSing
penalties for violations, the fines in
which cases range from $500 to
$4,000. As the Veteran Illinois
senator has given great deal of
intelligent study to the question of
the trusts, there is fair probabil
ity that his measure is prepared
with skill.
No intelligent person can doubt
that thc Republican party will do
all that can be done to bring the
trusts into surveillance by the gov
ernmcnt. In all of its national
platforms since the trust question
first came up as Il serious issue the
Republican party has placed itself
on tho right side of that question.
In 1890 a Republican Congress
passed the Sherman antitrust law,
which a Republican President,
Gen. Harrison, signed. This law
has been invoked against the trusts
many times. 1t has curbed some
of them. 1t has acted as q deter
rent in the case of many of the
others. In this way it has had Il
salutary effect. Attorney General
Kuox gives the law high praise,
and says it can be made effective in
other cases, which are pending be-
fore the courts.
But there is general opinion
that the Sherman law needs amend
ment to make it effective under the
conditions which have arisen in tho
dozen years which have passed
since its enactment. The purpose
F., of the Cu|ioni bill is to moct this
need. Doubtless other measures
with the same purpose in view vii!
be introduced in Congress within
the next few weeks. All of them
which are reported will receive in'
telligent discussion, and will be
modified in the points in which
they may seem to need modifca-
tion. Tbs general public may rely
On the honesty, the courage and
the intelligence Of the Republican
party in Congress in dealing will
this issue, as it has dealt with al
the other great questions which
have arisen in the past forty years

The post Office building at Nir-

being the allest in the
world. 1t is located on the
stage road which runs north from
San Diego, and ii is far from any
other buildings OF habitation. Up
on the day that brings the stage
past the tiny edifice the postmaster
comes to the roadside office and
awaits the coming of the stage
which brings the mail. When it
arrives tue mail which has been de-
posited in the letter drop by TIC

exchanged for that which the stage

er and seller, and they alone could
furnish testimony to convict. but
II telling means punishment Of
both, neither will tell.
The problem before the state is
how to protect suffrage from the
corruption of vote-buying. The
state first tried the plan Of punish
ing-or rather providing for pun
isbment of-both buyer and seller,
and it was a failure, for the reason
stated above. The bribery in clec-
tions became worse at every e'ec-
ton, and practically nobody was
punished. In 1889 the system was
changed, and the seller was not
only exempted from punishment:
but also given right Of action for
$500 and attorneys fees against
the buyer. This law did more to
stop votebnying than anything
ever tried in this or any other
state, and that lis what every hon
ost man ought to want.
The people of Indiana need not
deceive themselves. There is no
worse evil in their governmental
system today than this of the sale
of votes, and anybody of ordinary
intelligence can see it. 1t means
the rule of money. 1t is utterly
destructive Of the theory of man
hood suffrage-of popular govern
ment-on which all our system is
based. 1t means instead of the
rule of the majority the rule of
those who can buy the most votes.
1t must be stopped or our ''popu-
lar government" becomes mere

For forty years the Democrats
here have been referring to the
conduct of the Republicans during
that period succeeding the close of
the civil war as ono Of disfran-
chisement and oppression of the
Democracy, yet now at this late
day they refer to it again to get a
precedent to sustain an election
contest. Still forty years is long
way to go back in such cases, and
there is no parallel between the
political conditions that existed

Tho Independent last week con-
templates the forthcoming contests
of election of Mr.. Declue, for Re
preventative, and Mr.. Cole, for
county Judge, by Messrs. Eversole
and Farmer, in an aspect of what it
considers fairness and legality.
Our friend claims that he believes
the contestants to be honestly elect
ed. We will ask the people of
Washington County to consider a
few points, however, before they
accept this statement lis being the
truth Of the situation. Docs it not
appear to the unbiased and honest
citizens of the county, that, in view
of the fuct that the Republican
vote here is prepondercnt, if any
undue influences were exerted up
on the voters in the recent election
it must certainly have been exertod
by the Democrats? In not one in--
stance docs the vote of the county
show that the Republican candi-
dates received votes in excess Of
what their party cast. The gener-
al knowledge of the political con-
ditions here precludes the thought
that all the Democratic candidates
run ahead of their ticket because
of their personal popularity. An
honest mind contemplating the
situation in tho light of wcll-known
fhcts must have its doubt as to :hl:aa
fairness or legality of the election
IF any Democrat.
In challenging the whole vote Of
Walton Township, the contestants
seek to disfranchise upon a trivial
technicality all the voters of that
township, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike. Whatever irregular.
ity appears In the returns from
Walton township, touches the
Democratic judges and clerks Of
election as we'll as those Of the op'
posing party. The contestant:
have thrown the charge of fraut
up to their own friends.
