Editor Morning News: Your edi-
torial on the suggestion of ex-Con-
gresham William ]. Combs treats on
one of the most important subjects be-
fore the American public and offers
its solution in the only practical way.
That suggestion is to separate the pub
lie highway which a railway track at
present is, from the common carrier,
which the railroad company certainly
is.
At the present time the only real
problem before the American people
is the so-called trust" problem. AL
most without exception our trusts are
aggregations of enterprises enjoying
railway discrimination which enables
them to ship their raw materials and
products at a lower price than indie
pendent producers and this fact alone
renders competition impossible. The
reason the trusts enjoy these favors
that is the railroad track, is monopo-
lized in the hands of private individ-
uals and not because of any other adj
vantages a trust may have. The
writers of our constitution provided
the most perfect system of government
and provided for every contingency
which could be foreSeen, but they
could not foresee railroad or a rail-
road train, but they carefully provid-
ed for federal governmental control
of interstate commerce and post routes
and postroads.
hfohxunW nf TRANSFORMATION
then in existence, such as turnpikes,
canals rivers, lakes, etc, was then and
is to-day under federal, state or coun-
ty control Public funds have been
lavished to keep these highways open
with the result that on them competi-
ton of the common carriers which are
private companies keep rates down to
such a point that there is no complaint
against them or Legislation aimed at
them.
That the railway roadbed might be
similarly controlled could be very
easily managed.
A locomotive differs from an automo-
bile in the fact that It has Hanged
tire, and in that fact only. If Hanged
tire is put on an automobile it becomes
a locomotive, and such automobile-loco-
motives are on the market to-day. Take
the fiange off the locomotive and put on
a steering gear and it is an automo-
bile, too heavy for the present streets,
tits true, but this is only a question of
size.
The limitations of a Hanged tire con-
fines a vehicle to a still track and pre-
vents two trains passing on the same
track. but a narrow street or alley has
tho fame LIMITATIONS. Further, the
speed at which it is safe to run on a
railroad track is such that it is impos-
sible to stop within the limits of vision
ahead. This compels system of sig
nails, of which the block system is the
most complete. The raising or lowering
of these allows the engineer to deter

The Popular Vote of 1894
Is Unanimously i'm Favor of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tabiets--They Are
the Nations Favorite.

No article on the market, whatever
be the purpose for which it was
created, can be a phenomenal success
and be universally popular unless it
possesses great and unfailing merit
inferior and worthless articles may
fiuorish for limited time if their
praises are sung by sufficient clever
and catchy advertising; but their days
are numbered from the start and
their finish is foregone conclusion.
This is an age of the srvival of the
fittest. and only articles Of true worth
endure.
The unparalleled and phenomenal
success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
from r business standpoint is not I'M
natural nor surprisingly is due direct
" to their unparalleled and phenome-
nal success in curing multiplied
thousands of cases of dyspepsia
throughout the English-speaking
world.
The reason of the wonderful sue
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
is so plain and simple that a child can
understand. 1t is this and nothing
more; they are natural in their work
ings and effects. They take up the
work of the worn and wasted stomach
and do ii Just as the stomach did
when II was we'll and strong and able.
They actually digest the food and do it
thoroughly. completely and indie
pendently, thus giving the weak and
weary stomach an opportunity to re-
new and regain it's wasted strength
You forget that you have a stomach
just as you did when you were a
healthy boy or girl and Nature re-
stores and heals that organ and
makes it well and strong.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF MERIT.
Prominent Physicians Join With
knights Pharmacy Co. in Rec

Countless physicians and druggists
are now prescribing and indorsing
Vinol as the most valuable cod liver
oil preparation known to medicine, and
it is fast superseding all other forms
of cod liver oil.
A prominent physician writes: 81 am
satisfied that Vinol derives its Won
derful lfe-giving and strength-creat-
ing power from the medicinal curative
elements found in the Gods liver. 1t
is the best strength creator and vi
taller for old people, weak women,
children and the convalescent that
ever saw"
Another physician writes: II could
cite many cases where health has been
restored in a surprisingly short time by
VinOl. l should be very sorry to have
to do without Vnol in my practice.
1t has no equal for hard colds, throat
and bronchial troubles"
Now, when we tell you that we have
never sold in our store remedy of
such remarkable curative an strength
creating power as Vinol, for the weak,
the sick and the aged, and that If 1t
fails to accomplish what we say it
viii we will refund your money with
out question, 1t will show you our

PRECIPITATION BILL

Democrats Did Not Want the Pro-
visions of the Bill to Extend TO

Warranted Until the Future OF
the Archipelago Has Been Deter
nlined-southern Conditions Dis
cussed.
Washington. Feb. .1S.-rThe House to-
day passed the Notifications appro-
priation bill. The Philippine question
was the subject of brief, but spirited,
discussion, while the bill was under
consideration.
An item in the bill provided for for
tifications in the insulaf possessions.
Mr.. Smith (DemocraD Of Kentucky
proposed an amendment to preclude
the use of any part of the appropria-
lions for fortifications in the Philip
pines, holding that an expenditure of
the sum necessary properly to fortify
the islands was not warranted until
the future of the archipelago shall
have been determined.
A party alignment on the PROPOSE
ton Immediately followed, Mr.. Will
liams of Mississippi, the minority lead
er, taking up the fight for the amend
ment. He said the dominant power
had not yet declared itself as to the
future of the islands, and that he did
not want the lesson taught that one
people might rule another people.
Messrs. Payne of New York and
Smith of Iowa, on the Republican side,
seconded Mr.. Littauer of New York,
who was in charge of the bill, in OPP
position to the amendment, declaring
that it was the duty of this govern
ment to afford protection to the peo-
pie of the Philippine Islands. BY
strict party vote of so to 81 the Smith
amendment was lost.

Hill of Connecticut starting 1t by ask
ing what Democracy stands for, ad-
dressing himself chiefly to Mr.. Will
liams of Mississippi. and taking occa-
signments on the committees which had
been made on the recommendation of
the minority leader. Mr.. Williams as
suned full responsibility for the appor-
tionment among the minority, and conf
parison of conditions North and South
resulted.
Mr.. Williams said any one who look
ed over the South and observed eondi-
tions there and advocated unlimited
manhood suffrage was either a fool,
because ne did not understand; or a
knave, because understanding, he did
not care. This was greeted with APP
plause on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Williams said there was as much
trouble at elections in the district rep
resented by Mr.. Loudenslager of New
Jersey as at polls in the South.
Mr.. Wade (DemocraD of Iowa pre-
dicted that the Democratic party will
be victorious in the coming campaign.
and declared the West favored tariff
revision.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row.
