1t is very seldom indeed that stock of
the National Capital Bank Is offered for
sale. 1t is so closely and tightly held
that sales are most out of the ordinary
and whenever they do occur, create some
little surprise. Ten shares of the banks
stock were sold yesterday at 205. But five
sales have been recorded for the past
three years In January, 1904. a small
sale was made at 10, and last December

Tom Watson's Railroad Policy.

Ten to one 50 excited is the country and
su none at present to misunderstood
things. that the railroad regulation policy
lust inaugurated by Tom Watson i'll
Georgia will appear as a vulgar brawi.
Finding himself passenger on slow
train. aud feeling a lack of polite attention
on the part of the train officials. Mr.. Wat
son decided to lick the responsible persons.
and did lick the ColorCd porter How sim
pie. the plan, And how economic so far as
ti... public is concerned. No appeal to the
Interstate commerce commission. No long
draNu-uut arguments by attorneys. No
DELAYS. Just a scrap, and little ble edng
at the nose on the part of man whose
tariff for whiSk-broom performances on
passengers had doubtless already made him
very unpopular. Mr.. Watsons methods are
primitive. but they bring results. If he
were turned loose. and provided with :,
chest protector. would he, single-haudcd,
bf able to solve our transportation problem.
His policy admits of wide application,
and he would go far if lie lived through the
early days of his campaign. The danger
would be at the start.

Hearst and His Party.

Well now that Mr. Hearst himself has
explained the Independence League there
can no longer be any doubt as to it's signifi-
canoe. IT is designed to put both the re-
pubIicanS and the democrats out OF buSi-
ness. Those vino join will understand that
they have put old affiliations behind them,
and expected to support, heart and
soul, the league and its purposes. Work
of recruiting is in progress all over the
country. with the view of influencing next
years national contest.
That Mr.. Hearst should be the league
first candidate for President all must admit,
aud that he will be appears highly prob
able. He is at once the head and the purse
of the organization. 1t will look to him for
suggestions and support. and will follow
where the white checks wave. And as he
is not n!ggard i'll campaign times-his eX-
pcuse account in New York last year
showed that-thcre will probably be no
complaint about the sinews OF war. The
trusts and the railroads may loor, the other
way. but the league will have an assurance
which will make things right at all hours.
Mr.. Hearst will provide.
And now for TWO questions: Is Mr.
Hearst to h" accepted as Il New yorker
