JUSTICE IN MAIL WEIGHING.

The order of the postofiicc, depart.

to the railroads without a doubt. II
really indicates the end to which com.

tanned. Time was when the railroads
were not required 10 confess to the
charge of Sabbath breaking on ac-
count OF the transportation OF the
mails, although Il was on Sunday that
some of the heaviest quantities of
mail matter were carried. The big
Sunday newspapers furnished tons
upon tons OF matter that filled the
cars. an dthe usual Saturday cleanup
OF business affairs made other many
additions to the volume of business.
But the railroads would not have Il
said OF them that they deliberately
fractured the Sabbath and the govern.

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Another good republican congress-
man has been indicted and arrested,
charged with conspiracy to defraud,
and also for obtaining money under
false pretenses. This time 1t Is the
Honorable Il. Burd Cassel. OF Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Cassel and eighteen
other good republicans were picked
up on September Is. on charges orig
inally preferred by Democratic State
Treasurer Berry OF Pennsylvania, In
connection with the theft OF five
million dollars from the treasury OF
that state. In transaction relating tt
the furnishing of the new capito
building at Harrisburg. Several STATE
officers are among the fellow-grafteri
OF Mr.. Cassel for whom warrants hav'
also been issued. No wonder the Penn
sylvanla republican leaders regard tn
democratic motto. thou shalt no
steal" as a personal affront to them
selves.

THE SOUTH AND BRYAN.

The Brooklyn Eagle has been sound
ing the sentiment OF the Southern
press toward Mr.. Bryan and finds that
little change has been made in the at
titde of the Southern people toward
the Nebraskan. Quite number or In
fluential papers-indeed. major
ity of the more important dailies-
have declared their opposition to him.
But that amounts to nothing. As a
rule. every one of these newspapers
were opposed to Mr.. Bryan In 1896,
Not only that. but quite number OF
them openly supported Mr.. Mckinley.
The attitude of the South toward Mr..
Bryan has no doubt changed some,
but this does not signify that he
would stand to lose any of the South
ern states II he were nominated.
Not few OF Mr.. Bryan's former
supporters have reached the conclu'
sion that he has weakened himself
among the rank and file OF the party
because of his declaration In favo"
OF governmental ownership. 1ike~is",
his espousal of the initiative and ref
erendum has hurt But intelligent peo'
pie do not understand that Mr.. Bryan
has impaired his usefulness as dem
ocrat because OF these theories, He
has stated on more than one occasion
that he does not regard the question
OF ownership as one demanding imme
dia," attention, and II the people at
large could understand his position
as his friends do. there would not
be the slightest reason for any demo
crat 10 vote against him II he should
he the nominee.
The South understands Mr. Bryan
well enough to believe that he would
as nominee stand upon his party plat
form. and he knows that no platform
embracing the ownership plank or the
initiative and referendum would he
acceptable TO the South. He has al
ways evinced the highest admiration
and respect for the Southern democ

much OF the opposition which ragged
against him In the South eleven years
ago has vanished. II nominated. there
would he few newspapers TO openl,

him as so many did in 1896.
II there is In the South tendenc,

have lost faith In Mr. Bryan. II mere

South for democratic victory in orde
