RAILROAD TRUST EVADE LAWS

NEW YORK, March 31.-Wall street
has been greatly excited by the report
Of plans for the formation of a mann
moth railroad combination to include
practically all the big freight carriers
Of the east and west and to provide a
community of interest which would
technically avoid the Sherman anti
trust law.
Powerful railroad interests that an
nounced two years ago that they had
agreed upon a plan by which, under
an interchange of directorships, their
reads would be operated in harmoni-
Gus community of interest, were said
to be forming the new combination
The old scheme fell through because
O. bitter quarrel among the promo
ters, which resulted in the Northern
Pacific corner and the subsequent pam
ic from which Wall street has never
fully recovered
Rate cutting has done more to keep
investors out of the market than any
thing else. The restoration of rates
would probably bring investors into
the market as buyers for both bonds
and stocks
Whether this story has been re-
viVed for stock jobbing purposes or is
based upon fact cannot be ascertained
at present.

Will FIGHT for Control.

There is no doubt that the demo-
Gratis will make a strenuous effort to
capture the county and Legislative Of
fees this fall. They figure Spokane
quantity politically, and point out that
since 1895, particularly. it has swung
from party to party with almost every
succeeding election. In 1896 the re-
publican party lost the county over
Whelmingly. The very next year the
fusion alliance was beaten in the city
election. The next year, in 1898, the
republicans won, as they did in the city
election in 1899. In 1900, however, the
republican Legislative ticket was beaten
In 1901 the democrats captured the
city government almost bodily and in
1902 the republican legislative ticket
was again badly beaten and the demo-
Gratis captured the county treasureship
by a large majority. In the last city
election, while the republicans elect
ed their mayor, that fact was due to
the division of his opponents. More
over, at the same election, the demo-
Gratis elected their comptroller and
treasurer by immense pluralities, and
l majority of the city council
With this political record the Spo-
kane democrats believe they stand a
good chance to win this fall, and the
meeting of the county committee will
doubtless be followed by an effort to
get the party organized and in fighting
shape. The ball has already been open
&c by the organization of a democratic
club with a large membership. The
directing force behind the party orga-
nization will be Judge Turner. He will
| undoubtedly secure the Endorsement
of this state, as we'll as adjoining states
for the presidency
There are many signs of harmony in
the democratic camp. Dr. P. S. Byrne,
although an aggressive candidate for
governor. has served notice that he
will take no part in the contest over
the selection of delegates to the nation
al convention. This means, apparent
~. that the first county convention
viii be entirely free from fractional
strife, and that the sole contest will
be a friendly one between the three
candidates for national delegate,

cratic camp and the return of eX-Sena-
tor George Turner from the east, with
the announcement that he intends re-
naming in Spokane all spring and
forts to organize the party, and pre-
pare for the fall fight. The democrat
called to meet on April 2, and when it
meets it will call a county convention.
That convention, however, will be as
sembled merely to elect delegates to
the state convention, and to indorse
some Spokane man for delegate to the
republican national convention. Pres
ent indications point to Frank P. Ho-
gan as the man who will be selected
for the latter honor although F. c..
Robertson and DR.. D. C. Newman are
avowed candidates.
In both state and county the demo-
Gratis have one advantage over the re-
publicans Neither the state nor coun-
ty ticket will be nominated until late
in the summer-long after the republic
can state and county tickets are in the
field. In other words, the democrats
will follow the old double convention
program, while the republicans have
sprung an innovation by adopting a
one convention plan in the state, which
will probably be followed in the coun-
ty.
Shrewd democratic leaders, including
Judge Turner, figure that in the
months which intervene between the
making of republican and democratic
nominations, they will have ample OPP
pOrtunity to observe republican mis-
takes, and take advantage of them,
both in their nominations and in the
adoption of their platforms. There is
no doubt that q ma jority of the demo-
cratic leaders in this county were de-
lighted when the republican state
committee adopted the single conven-
ton idea.

Just about so often the dope" artist
has to send out a story that this and

Sether over some fancied grievance.
The latest hot air story to be sent
out broadcast over the country is to
the effect that James ]. Corbett and

story as it comes is about as follows:
James j. Corbett and "Philadelphia'

swapping punches in the corridor of
the Iroquois hotel here after red-hot
argument. Had it not been for the
fact that friends crowded about the
two pugilists and advised them to con-
tine themselves to a business chat as to
ring encounter there is little doubt
but that .'Gentleman James, and tho

clashed.
