Not PopuIistic

The governors of three great west
ern states which furnished 100000 re-
publican plurality in the recent cleo
ton and which will send thirty repub-
lican representatives to the new con-
gress unite in seeking President Roose-
velt's influence in favor of legislation
empowering the interstate commerce
commission to fix railroad freight rates
upon interstate commerce.
The railroad press has unmasked its
batteries and is denouncing this de-
mand as "populistic'\ and therefore not
to be entertained for moment. But
it is not 'populistic." Every populist
6enounces it as miserable makeshift
that will end in no enduring benefit to
shippers. Even such partisan re-
publican as Governor VanSant of Min
rosetta, apparently begins to realize
that the policy of "control' is useless
for he says:
There will never be any more
open mergers, great holding COM
panies to be the receptacle Of the
stock of the various systems. The
supreme court settled that for all
time. But it does not prevent the
heads of various systems from :
agreeing upon plans and policies
for their special benefit and the Z

Southern Democrats

The only reputation that the demo-
cratic leaders of the south have &C
CURED is that they can be relied upon
to support any candidate or advocate
any platform however irrational or
wrong it may be, when offered by the
democratic leaders of the north. They
have got into a condition of servitude
as vile as any ever imposed on a peo-
Die and show that they do not even
appreciate that they have no dignity
or influence left If the leaders OF the
south had stood up like men and re-
fused the domination of northern
leaders, had nominated n en- of char
acter and standing from tbeir own sec
ton. they would certainly have car
ried two more states than they did
with all the assistance they got from
Wall street. For long time the ma
iority of The white voters Of Georgia,
and perhaps of some other southern
states, have been opposed to the demo-
cratic machine down there. 1t is now
time that these citizens took matters
in their own hands and give to the
south some dignity and standing.

There is some talk of putting white
paper on the free list, as several of
the great dailies are large owners in
the stock OF the paper trust there is
not much prospect that 1t will be done.
The duty on paper is absolutely pro-
hibitive. Not pound of the kind use1
for newspapers has been imported since
1t went into effect and never will be
as long as it remains in force. 1t is
not for the benefit of labor, for there
is not an article manufactured in which
the cost of labor enters so little as
paper. 1t is all done by machines and
is hardly touched by hand after the
cord wood of which it Is made is de-
livered to the mills. There is no graft
In the United States SO utterly indie
fensible as that enjoyed by the paper
trust. 1t has about killed all the pa
rers that relied upon their subscription
money to pay expenses and in that way
has been of the greatest benefit to plu.
tocracy. The specific duty is equiya-
lent to an ad valorem duty of Is per
cent when the imported paper costs 2
cents pound, but as the cost decreases
the advalorem duty rises, and on paper
costing is cents pound it is 20 per
cent
The paper trust grows more greedy
every year. The price of white paper.
such as The Independent uses, has been
raised time and again during the last
ewo or three years. This great cost
of paper gives an unjust advantage to
those papers that are in the trust. But
there is no use of complaining. When
all the papers that depend upon their
subscriptions instead of trust advec-
Using to pay expenses, are killed on
and there is none but trust organs left,
perhaps the people will be happy and
prosperous. From the way they vote
one is constrained to believe that they
think SO.

State Education for the Blind.

Every child has a right to an educa-
ton. This is true of blind children as
well rs of the sighted ones.
In recognition Of this principle the
state Of Wisconsin has made wise and
generous provision for the education of
all the blind and partially blind children
within its borders. A school for the
blind Is maintained at GAINESVILLE. Wis
cOnsin, for the education and training
of the blind which is free to the resi-
dents Of this state. Tuition, books,
board and washing for forty weeks a
year from September to June-are
furnished without any charges what
ever. Pupils may be admitted upon
application to the superintendent of the
school.
1t Is not necessary that q child be
totally blind to be entitled to the ad-
vantages of this school Any child whose
sight Is so defective that he cannot pro-
fitably attend the regular public school
may attend the school at GAINESVILLE.
Have you blind child IN your family?
DO you know of child in this state
who has defective sightl If so, write

candidate who will bring greater strength
to the ticket than Mr. Roosevelt Elk
Secretar- OF War Root is named as the
strongest man in the state. They be
lieve that if Mr.. Root can be nominated
he will strengthen the organization vote
behind Mr. Roosevelt, not only by heal
ing the wounds of the disaffected but by
bringing out the Independents in sup
port of the state and national tickets
1t is plain that the Democrats will be
guided in their selection of guberna-
torial candidate by the action of the Re-

or other Mr. Cleveland's secretary of
war Daniel Lamont, is considered the
strongest man the Democratic party can
name to offset Mr. Root. The Oshkosh
