OF course. but the people-good and
bad-are none the less responsible on
that account. 1t depended upon them
to put these aw-breakers in Office.
1t rests with them to put these law
breakers out. Yet-and this is the
sickening part of it-this same ring
OF thieves and panderers will go be-

Endorsement at the next election and
be returned to Office by whatever ma

We're present committee of seventy,
made up Of the most prominent men
IN Philadelphia; a committee of nine,
appointed at an open mass meeting,
and representatives Of many other
bodies-citizens all primed with argu-
ment against this lease.
All this is impressive: and it proves
that, at last, Philadelphia is no longer
contented. But it did not do any,
where as much good as half this same
number of citizens might have done
at the last election, and when the
smoke has blown away and a new
election is at hand these same citi-
zens will go to the polls like moles
and vote in blindness.
Graft is never idle Good citizen

the people Of Philadelphia awake to
that plain and simple truth and bring
it TO bear upon their municipal cleo
lions they have no more chance

their city-by their sufferance-than
they would have against a Kansas

State against the Fort Worth and DEN

The suit was brought by the attorney

The court holds that such contract
is not in restraint of trade. and that it
is a benefit to the public instead of an
injury.
There are forty-eight similar suits
pending against the Pullman Company
and different railroad companies in the
district court here. They will now be
dismissed
