Insincerity was never'm more mann
fest than that taken by the Demo-
Gratis on the two-cent fare matter:
In a convention that represented
eight counties the question was de-
feated at the instance Of one or two
who do not believe in it but lean to-
ward the railroads. Following this
n smaller convention BY far, and rep
resenting fewer counties was held
here and declared for two-eent
fare. They may say in excuse for
their action that the first conven-
tion was not the proper one to e1-
nress itself favorable to such
movement on the ground that the
Question is a state matter. But
how can they make the people be-
Iieye them? Did they not take up
the new tax laws, a purely state Is
sue, and declare against them IN the
first convention? Yes. Then why
not the fare question? The truth
is the first convention expressed the
belief and policy of the Democratic
party, when it voted against two
cent fare. and the storm OF lndlg-
nation was 30 great among the Peo-
pIe that the second convention tried
Theoretically to patch matters up
hut with such apparent insincerity
that no one will change his mind
in the matter but give the Demo-
cratic party the discredit of being
onposed to a two-cent rate.

McGraw's hand is seen in all the
Democratic conventions this year in
this state. 1t is very probable the
business of that hand is so great

convention, which will nominate
two men for the Legislature who
must pledge themselves to McGraw
before the convention will even con-

The Democratic committee of
this senatorial district is about as
much Standard Oilized as it could
be. Every member is connected
with that octopus. Whether this

The Democratic senatorial con-

1t is quite easy for Democratic

they could not, if they would.

The pressure of public opinion
caused the Democratic senatorial
convention to declare for two-cent

and was not rejoiced over by the

nothing that caused any of its MEM

RAILROADS WANT HEARING.
Don't Desire To Make Radical Change fm rs0ffnm Hafak

 Washington. Aug. s1--A hearing of States and to the cotton carrying rail roads, will be held here by the Inter state Commerce Commission, Wednes- day. Sept IF.
 It will relate to petitions which have been received by the Commission for authority to change rates on export cot ton on less than thirty days notice to the Commission, which is provided for In the new interstate commerce act. Heretofore 1t has been a practice of ocean carrying steamers to change their dates on the transportation of cotton from this country to points in other countries almost without notice to the railroads carrying the products In the United States
 In order to meet this change the railroads have been in the habit of quoting rates on cotton from inland points to the seaboard in consonance with the ocean carrying rates Many of the railroads are opposed to this sud den and sometimes violent change In rates and the declaration has been made by the railroad officials that If the Interstate Commerce Commission will insist on the provision Of the new law for a thirty days notice for change of rate, the cotton shippers can easily adjust themselves to the situa- ton.
 It will be necessary for the Commits sion to issue an order as to the matter. but before doing so 1t has been decided to hear all sides of the question.

 any trade union as condition of em- ployment, or continuation of employ rights of an employer, and protected by Constitutional guarantee of due pro cess of law against a statute which makes 1t an offense for an employer to Impose such conditions. (MissouTi vs. Julow, 12s Mo. 1s6; 29 L. R. A. 267.)
 Mir. Justice Harlan in delivering the opinion in Arthur ct al vs. Cakes. ct al, il c. z. A. p. 20s. 63 Fed. Rep. s10, says: Tt would be an invasion of work for, or to remain in the personal service of another. One who is placed under such restraint Is in a condition of involuntary servitude, a condition which the supreme law of the land de- clares shall not exist within the Unl- ted States or any place subject to their Jurisdiction" The converse being truc, be compelled to have in his employ one whom he does not desire, no mat ter for what reason.
 T follow this doctrine. but ARs 1t seems clear to me that CongreSS mas invaded the rights guaranteed by the Constitution in passing this law, am therefore constrained to declare the same invalid.
 The authorities as cited by the Uni ted States Attorney do not bear direct ly upon the case at bar.
 The demurrer to Section 10 of said act is hereby sustained, and the de- fendant discharged"

VIII Answer Charges of Dick and For

 Cleveland, O., Aug. 31-Congressman n Theodore E. Burton. in an interview to- night, replies to the recent statement of Senators Dick and Foraker and accepts the challenge of the former for a dis cussion in the coming Ohio State Re- publican convention. of certain meas ures pending in the last Congress and upon which there was a difference of opinion among Ohio Senators and mem bers of Congress.
 Congressman Burton accepts the challenge of Senator Dick for action by the whole convention on the sub ject of the railroad rate bill the ship subsidy bill. the Phillipine tariff, for the enlargement of the navy. and the place of purchase of supplies of the Panama Canal. In addition. he de- clares that the convention should favor State primary election law and the nomination of State officials and Unit ed States Senators by popular vote.
 Mir Burton adds: 1t cannot be de- nied that under the present plan 1t is possible for organizations of Federal. State or municipal bficials and em- ployes to exercise an undue Influence not merely in the control of party ma chinery, but in determining the prin- ciples and candidates to be accepted by the voters of the State"
