The Railroad Bill.

The railroad bill energies from the
conference in such shape as to COM
mend itself. If we may judge the re-
suit from press reports it merits
speedy enactment into law 1t embod-
les nearly all the features recommend :
ed by the administration. The Demo-

thing be done in this respect. The
conference yielded to the extent of pro-
vidins facilities for collecting accurate
information regarding the subject.
The dispatches indicate that certain
members of Congress will take oppor-
tunity to get their speeches into the
CongI eSsional Record before allowing
the bill to pass. Free speech is q
great boon-at times. 1t would seem
in this matter. however. that no one
could complain were the bill to be
passed with all possible dispatch. The
business of the country is waiting for
this railroad question to be settled.

does so for good and sufficient reason.

Mr.. McGiIlicuddy's Brief.

Mr. McGiliCuddyS brief for Democ-
racy will be found in another column.
IT is interesting chiefly from the fact
IT is the best that one of the ableSt
ment to turn over to the hungry Demo-
cratic party the control of the affairs
of state and nation.
According t" Democratic tradition
he first draws a picture to represent
the country in a state of abject dis
tress and poverty. SETTLING with pro-
test and looking for saviour.
Is that a true or creditable presen
tation? Are the people of this coun
try struggling for bare existence, as
he declares? On the contrary are
they not highly prosperous us COM
pared with those years when the
Democratic party had Grover Cleve-
land as President and Democratic
Congress"
Why did not Mr.. McGllicuddy refer
to what happened during the only two
wears in half century when the
Democratic party was in control?
Was it not because the Democratic
party as welt as the rest of the country
lis ashamed of that record?
Mr.. McGiIlicuddy says the trusts
own and control the Republican par
ty. Does it follow, then. that this is
why the trusts are being punished and
regulated by Republican admnis-
tration" Has Mr.. McGilicuddy for
gotten history of twenty years ago
when the sugar trust dictated the
schedules in the Wilson-Gorman tar
if?
He denounces the present tarih in
unmeasured terms. Does he not know
for it is a fact that the record of
the Payne tariff for nine months as
compared with a like period under the
Wilson tariff demonstrates conclusive
ly it is lower in rate than the latter?
That it admits free of duty more i'm
portations than were admitted under
the Democratic, sugar-tr die
tated tariff,
Mr.. McGillicuddy declares that the
trusts subscribe only to the campaigns
of the Republicans. Did he forget the
truths wrung from them in the courts
of law within the last few years by
inquisitors provided by a Republican
administration? Does he not know
that it is matter of record. that they
have contributed to both parties?
Also. that never in the slightest de-
gree have their operations been cur
tailed. regulated and restrained save
under Republican administration
have commanded the admiration and
appreciation of the people of the
United States at all times and sea-
sons, save in the heat and dust of po-
litical campaigns?
Mr.. McGillicuddy arraigns the Re-
publicans of Maine for extravagance

he forget to mention single appro-
pration by the last Legislature which
he thought extravagant? He forgot
to say wherein the Democratic party
