Considerable excitement has been
caused by the announcement the Ha-
waiian-American and perhaps other
steamship lines may raise freight rates
after the railroad gonge becomes ef-
fective. If any intention of this kind is
cherished by the steamship companies
we hope they will think better Of it. 1t
would be a good thing for many rea-
sons and from many points of view If
a governmentally owned or subsidized
line Of steamships were established on
the Pacific.

No Platform Able to Withstand Sins
Of Bryanlsm.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Col Felix A.
Reeve. assistant solicitor of the Treas
ury department, declared last night
that the text of the letter from Grov-
er Cleveland TO him, in which the late
President excoriated Organism, was a
verbatim copy of the original in his
possession. He seemed surprised
that the letter had become public pro
perty.
That is true copy of the letter
now reposlng In my safe" he said,
after reading It. Il cannot imagine
how 1t became public, for / permitted
but one copy to be made, and that was
the use of close personal friends. How
ever, since the letter has been pub

Col Reeve was solicitor of the treas
ury under President Cleveland and
was retained through the Mckinley
and Roosevelt administration In his
present capacity. He was a warm per
sonal friend of Mr. Cleveland and de.
clared last night that the late presi-
dent had a most violent and bitter an.
tipathy to Organism.
The letter is as follows:
Tamworth, N. H. July a. 1906.
My dear Mr.. Reeve: | desire to
thank you for your very friendly
