vantage the governmental machinery
It was ultimately as fatal to the cause
Of freedom whether it was the rich who
oppressed the DOOR or the poor who
plundered the rich. The crinSe of brutal
disregard of the rights of others is as
much a crime when it manifests itself
in the shape of greed an6 brutal arrog-
ance on the one side. as when it Tnani-
tests itself in the shape of envy and
lawIess violence on the other. Our aim
must be to deal justice to each man;
no more and no less. This purpose
must find its expression and support not
merly in our collective actioS through
the agencies of the government, but in
our social attitude. Rich man and Door
man must alike feel that on the one
hand they are protected by law and
that on the other hand they are respon-
sible to the law; for each is entitled to
be fairly dealt with by his neighbor and
by the state; and If we as citizens Of
this nation are true to ourselves ana
to the traditions of our forefathers such
fair measure OF justice shall always be
dealt to each man, so that as far as
we can bring it about each shall re-
ceive his dues, each shall be given the
chance to show the stuff there IS in him.

sPLINTERs DOOR.
Old Forgotten Dynamite ExpIodes,
Causing CONSERVATION.

An old stick of dynamite, which had
been hidden for many years, caused a
commotion at 932 Spruce street this
afternoon by exploding and injuring
& 14-year-Old colored girl Ida Taylor
The explosive was hidden under the
floor of an old kitchen, and exploded
while the colored girl was passing
through the door. Particles of glass
and splintered wood rere blown into
the arms and legs of the girl, and her
mother, Mrs. r. Hightower, thought
that someone had fired through the
house with a shotgun.
The police We're called, and OhIcers
Smith and Gon went out to investi-
gate. They found hole in the
kitchen floor, and the larger portion
of a stick of dynamite. badly decom-
posed by time. The dynamite had
probably been hidden under the floor
for twenty years, since the we'll on the
place was dug. It was in a pickle
bottle and under the floor in such
position that the settling of the floor
had caused the door to scrape the
flooring and press it down upon the
explosive. Had the entire stick of
dynamite exploded, it would have
blown the house to splinterss but it
was so rotten that a portion in the
heart of the stick, about the size of a
lead pencil, was all that exploded.
The girl was not seriously injured,
but the family was badly frightened
by the explosion. which would be
heard several blocks. and the mys-
terfous wounds received by the girl.

The building Of the Western Pacific

not only give the Pacific States a COM

years. A New York dispatch of Octo-

1t was announced today that the Globe
Express Company. a Gould enterprise.

sive franchise to operate over that road.
The concern will also succeed the
Wels-Fargo Company on the Rio

RAILROAD MANIPULAT0RS
SCORE FAILURE IN CHICAGO

The attempt of the railroads to cap
ture" a convention whose CAL contem
Plated the presence oniy of supporters o
the Pres dents policy of railroad rat
regulation was bod stroke. Had 1.
succeeded II would have been a gooo
hing for the railroad cause. because 4.
won have resulted mere in the pas
sage OF some harmless resolutions hs
the convention. which would have be4as
reau by few and promptly forgotten hs
all. Being Unexpectedly met, lor ones
by opponents as resoiute and resource
ful as themse.ve the failure was com
pete. and particularly disastrous in the
tremendous advertising given to tn
regular convention and its work anS
the equal advert sing given to the rail-
road methods of packing conventions
whose action they may fear by free
passes and expense money. They are
cheap men who can be bought in tha
way. OF course, some of them may
nave got more.
The San Francisco Chronicle, In com
menting on the railroads failure. says
Cd tor ally:
The result of the unseemly attempt
aso is TO more clearly define the issue
at stake. 1t has shown that the oeas
hing to be decided, so far as pubic au-
thority is invoked in the matter, l.
whether these great national highways
of commerce shall be operated on just
pr ncip.es. for the best good of the peo
pie of the entire country. or be subject
to such deviations from justice as tn
intrigues of individuals and localities,
in colus.on with local carriers. may
suggest and make possible. The Pres
viduals present themselves in great
force on the other. But the producers
and consumers and the President VIII,
win.
THE stronghold of the railroads is. OF
course the United States Senate, aud
nothing which has happened win do 80
much to place the Senate on trial before
the country as this abortive attempt OF
the railroads to capture convention
called to promote a measure which Inc
railroads oppose. The railroads control
of the Senate is the result of railroad
control of local politics. So long as II
controls politics 1t can send its hench
men to the Legislature and vote them
as 1t will for United States Senators.
And so long as that condition prevails
nobody can become or remain United
states Senator whom the railroads can
not re upon In an extremity. 1t q
more tnan probable that the coming
contest over better public control of .he
railroads will result in such searching
inquiry into the re'ations OF railroads
with legis' atures as the country has
never yet seen.
