No GROUND FOR A CROUCH.

1t Is very seldom that ticket IS
placed in the field which gives no
ground whatever for a crouch
among any Of the members Of the
party. This year. We have such a
condition, however. The Republic
can ticket Is 80 clean, 50 strong. 50
commencing that It attracts the
immediate and unquesti0ning sup
port Of all the Republican voters.
Those who may not have voted for
all the Republican nominees fully
realize that the ticket could not be
improved upon. as a whole, and for
that reason. they are going to sup
port II as a whole. There Is no
weak place in it. and. for that res-
son. no one Is going TO scratch It at
any point.
That Is our view Of the situation.
All those with whom We have dis
eussed this subject agree with Us
IN what We have stated. Certainly
there Is no reason why anyone
should disagree. The ticket Is re-
preventative Of all that i best en-
cur citizenship. It fairly repre-
sents all sections Of the state and
there Is no individual candidate
against whom any serious objection
ran be made.

electric flat irons to loan these to
their neighbOrs for more or less
temporary use. Please bear in mind
that parties borrowing these flat

stealing the current to operate the

parties borrowing the electric flat

Big Business the Corrupter
Oakland Enquirer)


Whv did Spring Valley corrupt San
Francisco's government so many
years2
why did the United Railroads resort
to wholesale bribery
Why, in short, to the public service
corporations and the trusts corrupt the
governments of cities, states and the
nation?
why. but because. their eapitalisa-
ton being "watered" to the point of
drowning, they all are compelled to
pay interest and dividends on that
"water?"
That interest and those dividends
cannot be paid except by the wholesale
plundering, pillaging and robbing Of
the public.
That plundering. pillaging and rob-
bling is made possible only by the
Wholesale c0rrupting of public officials.
The United Railroads, with Its $780,
100000 of capitalization "water;' the
Southern Pacific, with its hundreds of
millions of dollars of water" the
other public service corporations, with
their oceans of water" must, all or
them, plumber and pillage the public
in order to pay interest and dividends
on that water"
Squeeze the water" from the capi-
talizatfon of the public service cor
would be no need for them to plunder
the public. Remove that need and
there would be no necessity for the
corruption of public officials.
Can that water be squeezed out?
It can be. The supreme court of the
United States has said time and again
that it can be.
1t will require state and national
Hesitation to do it effectively.
That is one of the reasons why there
are Ruefs, Sehmit8s, Herrins, Platts,
Aldrichs, Cannons, Guggenheims, Lori
mers and Quays in politics and public
6ffice-one impelling reason for the
control of governors, legislatures,
Judges and senators and representa-
tives in congress-one strong reason
for the corrupting of the press.
In a word, it is the water in the
Capitalization of the public service
corporations and the trusts that is re-
sponsible for practically all the cor
ruption in our political and public life.
Who profits by the public service and
trust capitalization "water?" The
enormous fortunes OF the Stanfords,
Huntingtons, Crockers, Hopkinses,
Harrimans, Morgans, Rockefellers.
Guggenheims, Hills and other multi
millionaires, their millions acquired in
a few short and piratical years, an

What Is This Crime?
New York Times)


As an inquiry of at least curious in
terest, it might be asked what crime,
if any, was committed by the man who,
finding himself suddenly in danger OF
death from the revolver of murder
GUS enemy, seized a passing boy and
used his body as a shield, with the re-
suit that the boy was killed by the
bullet intended for himself?
The responsibilities of the man VINO
did the shooting is, of course, exactly
what it would have been had he in
tended the consequence of his act, since
1t was a part of felonious attempt.
In other words, he was guilty OF muir
der, though as against the boy purpose
and reconciliation were lacking. In
the case of the other man the problem
is more difficult, and it's solution would
require settlement of the question
how far the right of self-defense ex-
tends. and whether it involves the
privilege of lessening ones own danger
bv dividing it with others or transfer
ring it wholly to them
Even a brave man might do this to
some extent in a sudden emergency
that brought instinct rather than rea-
son and character into play, but ne
would consider himself deeply dis
graced and life thus saved would be a

Who Owns the Railroads?

surance companies have not been
brought down to date, but the Finan-
cial Chronicle shows that three years
ago the railroad bonds and shares
owned by life Insurance companies
amounted to $685., 1862, 1896; those owned
by fire insurance companies amounted
to $113, ZOE, 1893: accident and guarantee

probably with some degree of truth,
that he was justified by the high prob
ability that in the circumstances his
enemy would not shoot.
Young Laidlaw, who charged Russell
Sage with using him in a somewhat
analogous way when threatened by
dynamiter, only sued for money rec
ompense, and there was never any
thought of criminal action by the pub
lie prosecutor. A like question might
have arisen had it been true that SEN
ator Carmack took refuge behind a
woman when the Coopers attacked
him-would that is, had the woman
been shot and the senator had escaped.
We do not recall any judicial decision
bearing directly upon this matter, but

more of them. In this instance the poor

sire to marry, viz, companionship.
There is no worse ailment that hui
man beings can endure than loneliness.

band called frequently on his wife and
hoped for a reconciliation. One day he
called and his wife gave him the cold
shoulder: and when he inquired the
reason of her sudden change was told,

get another word out of her, ror even
a hand-shake, and he went away

In its issue of September "a the
Financial Chronicle of New York pub
fishes facts and figures that show who
are the real owners of the securities
that have been issued by our railroad
corporations. The savings banks of six
states, New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts. New Hampshire, Connecticut
and Maine, now own steam railroad
securities to the amount of $614,64S,-
728; % per cent of the deposits are in
vested in these securities. The banks
do not own the railroad bonds and
shares. They have been bought with
the money of the depositors. In the
six states named the savings banks
have 6.140.372 deposltors. That is, on
the average, each one of the savings
banks depositors owns a little more
than 800 worth railroad securities. The
