WEST GOES AFTER
OIL COMPANY

the Standard Oil company Of Indiana
said common carriers have fixed the
rae on transportation of coal and
have forced the coal operating com
panies in said Indian Territory TO fly
a price on the production of coal so
that coal cannot, at sufficiently cheap
prices. furnish an entire substitute for
the products OF petroleum.
This is continuation along the
same lines as Mr. Vests previous
work, compelling railroads, the oil
trust and the coal trust to give ade-
quate service at reasonable cost with
out discrimination.
Mr.. Vests efforts have up to da'e
resulted In the reduction Of freight
rates on wheat and coal, and the abol-
ition of freight arbitraries over a
large part of the Territory. The
amount saved the shippers of the ter
ritories will run far into the millions.
or the cases tried by him every one
so far decided has been won by him.
Mr.. Vests candidacy for attorney
general is unique in that instead of
merely saying Il will do So and so II
| am elected" he demonstrates, by do
ing so fa- as possible without the Of
fee. preci1ely whas he will do II he OBJ
tains the office.
What a Republican attorney general
was afraid to do in the case of the
coal trust. Danl Huett, a Democratic
county attorney had the courage to
undertake against the oil trust. A case
along lines identical with those set
forth in this case was prepared
against the coal truss by Mr.. West
while acting as special attorney for
the territory but the governor and at
torney general refused to furnish a
bond and as result the case has
never been filed.

"1ETgIoTic" DEMOCRATS.

There are already five democratic
candidates in the race for governor.
The time for holding the convention
Is more than a year off, and there
will doubtless be many more In the
race before the convention is held
next summer. The Wilmington
Messenger, in speaking OF the num-
Der Of candidates who are willing to
make the sacrifice, says: "They are
a patriotic band Of Csrolinians, and
il il a pity that there are not lucra-
tive offices enough TO give one to
each of these men who are so anx-
ious to serve their State"
Whenever a democrat is a candi-
date for Office he is "patriot," but
if a Republican chances to want an
office why he is nothing but "pie-
hunter" The Messenger wishes
there were enough offices to hand
out to each one Of the democratic
State savers, but if it will only be
patient and wait for one or two more
legislatures tshouId they be demo-
craticl and they will create enough
new offices to go around. Every
time they have met they have crea-
ted as many new offices as the States
treasury could pay. The democrats
will make a new assessment of prop
erty this year, and they will doubt
less raise enough extra money to pay
for more new offices.

Counting Uncle Sans Money.

In discussing the efforts OF Chief
Wilkie, of the secret service, Joe
Mitchell Chapple, in his "Affairs at
Washington" in the National Maya
zine for May, speaks of what he says
''typifies a more effective precau-
tioDary system than could be af-
forded by many hundreds of six
shooters" The article continues as
follows:
Cali the money in the treasury

made in the higher officials. The
last time this occurred was when
Treasurer Charles III. Treat took
office several years ago. 1t was
then that remarkable theft was dis
covered, which had been accom-
plished by day laborer, who
handled the bags of gold and found
means to substitute pieces of lead in
place of the precious metal, as he
passed it out to be weighed. He
thought out his plan 80 we'll that the
weight of the bogus gold was ex-
actly the same as that of the specie
removed from the bags, 80 that when
these left his hands for the scales,
the theft was not detected. Since
that time every bag has been opened,
and every piece of money counted,
dollar for dollar. This, however, is
not so heavy task as might be sup
posed, for, strange as it may seem,
very small proportion of the gold
and silver currency is actually To-
Gated in the hands of Uncle Sam in
Washington, but is distributed
through the country in the reserve
centers.n

BRYAN FEARS HURST.

Mr.. Bryan is becoming fearful OF
a third wing TO the democratic party.
Some time ago Mr.. Hearst formed
an independence League" in New
York State and now branches of the
the league are being formed through
out the country. 1t Is thought by
some that the League will be in the
field next year with Mr.. Hearst as
its candidate for president. Mr..
Hearst said in an address some weeks
ago the democratic party was "any-
has caused MANY y" OF The agtf6Effaptelee
papers to heap abuse upon Mr..
Hearst, but evidently Mr.. Bryan
docs not think such a course good
politics, as he has advised the party
to accept Hearst and his new party
as an ally rather than as an enemy.
Mr.. Bryan knows that with the
Hearst forces and the Cleveland
democrats against him that he could
not get the nomination next year,
much less being elected. For once
Mr.. Bryan is trying to play politics.
But even a solid democratic front
will not open the path to the White
House.

Who is a Democrat ?

Charlotte Observer Democratic
"The State, of Columbia, an es-
teemed neighbor, observes that "Less
than three years ago William Ran
dOlph Hearst was candidate for the
presidential nomination before the
national democratic convention. He
sent emissaries into South Carolina
and many other States to attempt
the creation of Hearst sentiment
and to attempt the influence of
county and State conventions. That
money was freely used was no Sc
cret." Same way here. Now Hearst
admits that he has doubt where he
is at. ST would have been demo.
crat in Jeffsrson's day." he says,
''and Republican in Lincoln's day,
but whether I can properly be classed
as a democrat in the present day, is
a matter which admit is subject to
legitimate doubt" For this admis.
sion the yellow candidate has been
much criticised, but it is about the
most creditable thing he ever said.
A Bryan democrat doesn't think a
Cleveland democrat is a democrat,
and Cleveland democrat doesn't
think Bryan de nocrat is a demo-
crat, and a good many of those who
call themselves by the democratic
name behave as if they do not think
Jefferson was democrat. Hearst's
perplexity ought to be pardoned.o
