Bryan viii Not Bolt.

In last weeks Commoner Mr.. Bryan
declares that neither he nor his
friends are contemplating n bolt. He
says:
''Some of the reorganizers, recog-
n;zing their secret schemes are
menaced by the organiza ton of the
Kansas City platform clubs, as pro-
posed by the COmmoner. are attempt
ing to scare loyal but weakened
democrats by saying that the contem-
plated movement is a threatened bolt.
This charge is both false and ma
licious, and comes with bad grace from
those who have themselves bolted a
democratic presidential nomination.
IF the Kansas City platform demo-
Gratis do their duty the question of
boiling will never arise; that will be
left to the consideration of those who
bolted before. The fight will be made
at the primaries where the voice of
the people alone IS heard"

The Wedding Ont of the Country
POstOffice.

Country postottices are being rap
idly put out of business by the work
ing of the rural mail service. and
with their abandonment goes one of
the historical monuments of rural
development. Everywhere all over
the land the postal facilities of the
government are being centralized.
The last few years have seen won
derful development in mail facilities
and with the establishment of the
rural routes the farmer has almost
the same advantages as the resident
of the city.
The small country postOffice has
been made historical. Its memory has
been DerpetuateU Dy the story writer
of cacly frontier days in the growing
west, but it is now rapidly becoming
a thing of the past. Henderson cOln-
~ gives interesting illustration of
this fact. With the establishment of
rural routes in that county last year
the country office began to 90 and the
old offices at Reed and Rozetta. both
old landmarks in their county's his
tory. were the first to be discarded.
On April 1 with the extension of the
rural system, five more will follow in
their footsteps. Bald Bluff. Kearsage,

dent Cassatt talked TO a commission
recently about his company expend-
ing $60,000000 in improvements in that
city, running 60 trains an hour and
handling 100000 passengers a day. His
marvellous figures are now believed to
to foreshadow the business of the
railroad trust in New York.
John d. Rockefeller is presented
as the chief financial hacker of the
project. Morgan is the promoter.
The capitalization of the combined
railroads would dwarf anything now
in existence, even the steel trust.
y combine of the PENNSYLVANIA and
the New DIRK Central would, in it.
self, bring together most of the great
lines east of the Mississippi. The
Pennsylvania would bring in it's own
lines, the b. & o., Norfolk d Western.
Reading & New Jersey Central. and
the y. y, y. II. d Fl. The New York
Central would contribute to the com
bination, in addition to that line, the
Boston & Albany, Big Four and Michi-
gan lines. TO add to the southern
lines would be small matter. Nor
gan absolutely dominates the South
ern railway, and is strong power in
the Atlantic Seaboard line and Louis
vile & Nashville.
The only great interest left out is
that of the Goulus. with the Wabash
and other lines. There are indications
that they would be willing to con-
slider a union of interests. That
they are forming close relations with
the Rockefellers is evidenced by the
fact that John d. Rockefeller, ir., has
been elected a director in the Missouri
Pacific. which is a Gould property.
Rockefeller is the chief factor in the
Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul and
other important western railroads.
With him as an ally, Morgan's task is
half done. Now, it appears that the
Pennsylvania company and the Van
derbilts propose to complete it.

Morgan May Soon Realize His Fond
est Dream.

Wall street men see in the reported
Pennsylvania-New York Central COM
bine the dawn of J. p. Morgan's ma
tional railroad trust. The well au-
thenticated story is that the control
of the New York Central has passed
into the hands of capitalists. col
lectivelv known as the Pennsylvania
railroad interests. 1t is said that
anderbilt for some time has found
the management of the Central's pro-
perties irksome and combining. He
has been hearty worker in the com
bine by which the Central and Penn
sylvania roads have virtually parti-
toned eastern trunk line territory be-
tween themselves and extended inter
ests of joint ownership in some of
the connecting roads in the south.
4 national railroad combine has
been the dream of Morgan's career.
All his dealings in railroad proper
ties have been with that end in view.
1t has been an unbroken story of the
consolidation and merging of in
terests. and always for the purpose
of centraliZing control in few hands.
He merged a lot of southern lines
in the Southern railway. He harmon
lied the interests of the anthracite
roads. He brought several of the
great western systems together in the
Northern Securities company. He is
the representative of some of the
largest interests in the Pennsylva-
MIA company which acquired the b. &
o.. and has. in other ways, obtained
exclusive control of n vast territory
He is a power in New York Central
which is the cornerstone of the great
Nardn~hilt interests. Men in the fl
nanciaI world have wondered over the
mammoth investments of the Penn
syivania company in New York. They
failed TO see how the expenditures
could be justified by the business of
even the greatest railroad. Presi-

II is believed by the people who
ought TO know. that the recent
visit to the capital by Pierpont Nor
gan and his call on the president
means an extra session of the Fifty
eighth congress, and that it will be
called some time early in the month
of September. 1t is believed Mr.. Nor
gan said to the president that he
and the money kings of Wall street
could not stave off panic longer
than September unless there was leg
:slation that would relieve them. In
other words, they want the Aldrich
bill passed so that the money now in
the treasury can be placed in the
banks of Wall street and relieve the
pressure on them. Thus is this adj
ministration not only run by the Wall
street gang, but It approves Il policy
that takes the money out of the peo-
pies pockets and places it in the
banks of the country, so that they
can loan it back to the people and
make profit out of them. The rem
edy is in the hands of the people

Severe Attack of Grip Cured by One Bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.

when l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) / actual
ly cured myself with one bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. L at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night 1 would take a dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. 1 had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because 1 had never tried it
for such a purpose. but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and | had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale
