prevailed when genuine democracy was doni-
nant.
While the Senator from Wisconsin had the
floor some time ago he alluded to standard
Of senatorial morality which Senator Tillman
of South Carolina had set up. Mr. Tillman
rose and said:
81 said if stealing is to be done, want my
share of it, and I do
If that rule is good for the U. S. Senate,
why isn't it good everywhere else? Some
body is always stealing, therefore everybody
must steal. Wrong is eternally being done,
therefore we must all do wrong
Some men always on the downward
way to crime, therefore all of us must become
criminals Some women are VILE therefore all
the women must become vile.~
What kind Of impression does Senator Till
man think he makes on the minds of the
young, when he, member of our HIGHEST
LAW-MAKING BODY, declares IF others
steal I, also, will steal?"
The people of South Carolina rallied to Ben
Iillman because he proclaimed himself an ar
dent reformer He told them that if they
would make him Governor he would put
stop to the bad doings of the Hampton-Butler
rings No ever pledged himself more
loudly and frequently to combat corruption
in high places than did Ben Tilman.
That was many years ago. A long term in
the Senate has had it's influence on Ben amin,
He is not the man he was when he ran for
Governor as the champion Of the reformers.
Then he girded his loins to fight thieves.
Now, he simply claims his share Of the loot
How many Of the young men Of the South
will be inspired to live up to high standards
by the Tillman ethics?

SIT Up and Take Notice.

The Hon. Mr.. Rainey is making himself
very unpopular in Congress. He is man
who kicks. He tells tales out Of school.
very disagreeable fellow he is beginning to
be,-this Hon. Mr. Rainey
In most annoying manner he pointed out,
in speech in Congress, that certain Boston
firm, ooh Lord-BOSTOND needing money
somewhat urgently, prevailed upon the U. S.
Senate and House to peremptorily instruct
the Secretary of War to buy, from said Boston
firm, two vessels that had no value whatever
to these Bostonese, and which were tied TIP
at the wharf in Seattle out of commission.
The u S. Government did not need these
two idle ships; the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion had not asked for any ships; but the Sec
rotary of War was positively ordered to buy
these two idle ships for the Isthnan Canal.
That provision was slipped into one of the
Isthman Canal bills and it went through both
Houses of Congress without bobble,' and
the Boston firm held up the Secretary of War
to. the tune of million dollars for those use
less vessels
Has anybody denied Rainey's charges? No.
The only answer Congress makes is to abuse
Rainey. They don't challenge his facts,-they
accuse him of having got his evidence from
''convcts and blackmailers.'
Not member of either House has under
taken to explain why it happened that the Sec
rotary of War had his hands tied by Con-
gress.
If the government needed two more YES
sells, why was not the Government given some
discretion in the matter? Why designate by
name two ships that must be bought?
The Boston firms vessels named the
Shawmut and the fremont; and Congress
ordered the Secretary of War to purchase the
SHAWMUT and the FREMONT.
And million dollars of the money which
you paid into the treasury lifted out, to
ease matters for this Boston firm
Where was your Senator and your Repre-
sentative when this iniqultous clause was
slipped through both Houses?
Write to him and ask.
Friends! cultivate the habit of letting your
Congressman know that you not asleep.

fresh the memory of the candidate who made
you such nice promises. Show him that you
amt dead.

The Big Case Against Standard Oil.

We refer to the prosecution of the Rookie
Teller law-breakers who violated the statutes
by compelling the railroads to give the Trust
secret rebates on oil shipments By forcing
the railroads to grant these secret and lower
freight rates, the Standard Oil rascals put
their competitors out of business and enjoy a
monopoly.
The Rockefeller gang had trampled on the
law SO often that the aggregate of the fines
imposed by Judge Lands was $20,ooo,ooo.
This big penalty shocked George Gould, E. H.
Hartmann T. +. Ryan and other millionaire
law-breakers who have fellow feeling for
the Rockefeller crowd The fine did seem
large. But when a corporation, like the Stan
dard Oil, makes a regular business Of violating
the law, and does SO every day of its life, the
number of crimes up into the thousands,
and the penalties imposed must necessarily
be huge We have known of instances where
a man convicted Of selling drink of whiskey
was sentenced to pay fine of thousand dol
lars We have known of cases where the
stealing of pig took three or four years out
of mans life The fine of one hundred dol
lars paid by the average convict in a misde-
meanor case is a much severer penalty than
the $2O,OOO,OOO sentence imposed on the Stan
dard Oil Company, out of which one man.
John d. Rockefeller has amassed fortune of
A THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS.
But Judge Grosscup, the Infamous Chicago
corporation tool, falsified the record, and the
decision of Judge Lands reversed The
case went back to the lower court for another
trial, and the lawyers of the Standard people
are now having smooth sailing. They've got
a new Judge-a man named Anderson-and
he is Logging for the defense, with all his
might.
First, he rejected panel of jurors, drawn
according to law, because there were SO many

farmers on it. 1t seems that it was farmer
jury which convicted the Trust, at the former
trial. Consequently, the law-breaking Trust
has prejudice against farmers Judge An
derson shares the prejudice, and he quashed
the venire. That is, he refused to allow that
panel to serve and ordered that another be
drawn.
Funny ruling, wasn't it? Of course, the
Trust can more easily exert its power over a
merchant in Chicago than over farmer away
out in the country, SO the farmers were. sent
back home and panel Of city people drawn.
After that, you couldn't be. surprised at any
ruling made by Judge Anderson
The Trust lawyers next got this corpora
ton Judge to rule that the number of the ship
ments consisted not of the number of cars,
of the number of trains but Of the number
of settlements made between the Standard Oil
Company and the railroads!
Our opinion is, that if a shipper in contin-
uous way, brings to the depot at one time, a
sufficient quantity of lumber, or of cotton, of
melons, or of mules, of oil to fill 80 cars,
there is only one shipment and not thirty.
Our idea is, that the completeness of the
transaction, and the number of those complete
and separate transactions determine the num-
Der of shipments.
For example: Farmer Jones has 30 bales
of cotton to ship. Suppose he hauls it ALL as
a continuous act, takes one receipt for it all,
and goes about his business. That we think
is but Shipment although the Depot
agent may load the bales on several different
cars and send them off on different days
But suppose the farmer haus the 30 bales
IN SIX different lots at different times taking
receipt for each lot, separately,-then we think
that he has made five different shipments
If he accepts rebate from the railroads, on
all that cotton, he violates the law five times,
because the law says that the taking of re-
bate on shipment is crime. Of course, the
number Of shipments fixes the number Of
crimes Let illustrate another way:
1t Cuffee comes to your pig-pen and steals
five shoats at one haul, there is only one
crime. The taking and carrying away of the
tive hogs is one transaction, and therefore but
one crime.
But suppose Cuffee steals one of the pigs
every night, until he gets away with the five
In that case, there are five larcenies, for there
are five separate and complete transactions
Now Judge Anderson has ruled that if the
Standard Oil people took any rebates at all,
the number Of the crimes must be determined
by the number of the settlements for freight,
between shipper and carrier
Was there ever anything more far-fetched
and unreasonable?
merchant may have settlement with
carrier once month"; and during that month
may have shipped thousand different lots of
merchandise to a thousand different custom
ers, at thousand different points; but ac-
cordng to Judge Anderson, there was only one
shipment because there was only one settle
