While the rate case was pend
ing the railroads conducted a
widespread campaign to prove
that an adverse decision would
ruin their credit and bust" the
country.
What actually happened2
Within forty-eight hours Of the
decision which absolutely denied
their demands. Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. announced the saleof $780,
100000 Of Central Pacific four
per cent bonds to a French syn
dictate.
A day or two later Speyer &
Co. offered $4,000, 600 of St.
Paul & Kansas City four and a
half per cent bonds in London.
They were largely oversubr
scribed.
On the same day ]. P. Morgan
& Go. sold S12,5OO,0oO of Erie
collateral gold notes.
Then the managers got togeth-
er and announced that the rate
case would be dropped.

Some Reasons For II.

There are several reasons why
murderers seldom receive their
just deserts in Louisiana and in
other States of the South. One
reason is that it is hard to con-
,oeive a case where a jackleg
lawyer cannot set up a plea
of self defense that will impress
the average juror. The much
abused "unwritten law is re-
sponsible for many misrarriages
of justice, but the ease with
which a pettifogging jackleg law
yer can clog the wheels Of justice
is responsible for most of the. de-
lays Of the law and the final
;tAinding of justice. Our lawyers
do not INTO understand that
they are sworn officers Of the
court and as rigidly bound to
secure justice as a judge or peos-
ecuting attorney. They stoop to
all kinds of expedients to delay
the machinery Of the law and to
throw dust in the eyes of justice.
More than anybody else, lawyers
are responsible for lynchings in
the South. Lawyers are respon-
sible because the methods they
employ in the defense Of killers
of men have made it almost an
utter impossibility to secure a
conviction except in the most ex-
IRENE cases-and by extreme
cases" may usually be understood
cases where an inhuman wretch
has no money. Crowley Signal.
