From he Springfield Republican.

This reply OF the Standard company does
not at a single point successfully impeach
the essential truthfulness Of the Garfield facts
and charges, which still stand In all their
asserted force. 1t is not even a clever at
tempt to evade and mislead, and why withal
the solemn assurance is still repeated that
the Standard company Is g~uiltless Of know
ingly resorting to these sharp and lawless
practices-this is only TO be explained on
the principle that habitual wrongdolng can
do much to destroy a consciousness Of it.
The time has now come for the national Gov
eminent to take hold of this incorrigible
tran sgressor and its railroad allies with a
strong hand.

Messrs. Rogers, RockefeIIer aud Archbold

will be pregnant with future possibilities.

1t Is not possible to make any accurate
estimate of the vast profits of the Standard

to it by the railroads in the open rates granted

From the Washington Evening Star.
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Archbold deny the
allegations. and both defy and ridicule tho
allegators. They are sorry for Mr.. Garfield,
who, they contend, did not see his way
through the subject. and they jab the Presi-
dent with an imputation Of business. 1t is
the Standard OILS fashion of pleading not
guilty,
Any other reply would have been a sur
prise. The country expected the one that
has promptly been made. This time it is
the expected that has happened. Mr.. Rookie
Teller and his lieutenants have long used a
formula in such emergencies. They give
themselves a good character. describe thor

will be, supported by men of both parties In
