oAlRo AND THE IRON MOUNTAIN

ks@ VI s--------------- TK
The conference between Cairo
shippers and officials of the Irol
Mountain railroad company yesterday
afternoon seems to have been vefy
satisfactory as far as it went, and
probably it went as far as ii could
be reasonably expected to so untse
the circumstances. Definite assnr
anee was given by the gentlemen that
the Birds Point passenger service
would not be abandoned: that freight
rates from Cairo to Southeast Mis-.
souri, points would be satisfactory to-
Cairo shippers; that they would put
in a double daily passenger services
to connect with the Herrin branch:
that they would open negotiations
with the Frisco for through rates to
Southeast Missouri, dividing with thd
company on the basis OF mileage, ani
that they would do everything that
could be reasonably expected of them
10 give Cairo good service.
OF course, with respect to the NEST
important proposition, viz: Join
rates with the Frisco system, the lat

And he'll quote a bit from Shakespear

That he's really read them through!
He touches on the classics

He will have lot to say.

pronounced TO have been the worst ever

eight of the passengers dying in the eight
weeks of the voyage from Gibraltar to
Honolulu. In almost every respect the
ships accommodations for the care of
emigrants were totally inadequate. The
defense was advanced that the passengers
themselves were largely to blame for the
insanitary conditions, factor which
might have well been anticipated by the
ships officers in view of the general char

y solid south turning the scale in a close
convention contest would put the stamp
of defeat on the nominee.
But the proper way to put them the
right basis in such a convention is to
put the congressional representation of
those states q constitutional basis.
The one is no more jug-handled than the
other. And yet the republican party
when in full power, though repeatedly
promising such a step, never took it, but
frankly shirked it.
The republican party in an emergency
has seldom been ratified. 1t was ratified
In New York state in 1882, when it elected
Ar. Cleveland governor and thereby made
him the democratic nominee for President
two years later. And It was ratified in
1892, when bitter fight was made on
Gen Harrison for denomination, and the
fight was carried beyond the convention
into the campaign. The long record
therefore, seems against the supposition
that the helpless south next year will be
permitted either to nominate Mr.. Taft. or
defeat him for the nomination. Such a
thing would spell the poorest Of manage

most certain defeat for the man so NOM

Mr.. Burgess and Mr.. Bryan.

Mr.. Burgess of Texas is unreasonable
IN the matter of free raw materials OF
course. his party has been on both sides
of the question-for a long time against
and for a shorter time. for. But that has
been explained. When the democratic
party shifted its foot, the object was to
capture electoral votes. New England
looked promising. and the democratic
leaders considered 1t good politics to
make a bid. The bid was made. but
failed New England wanted free raw
materials, but was afraid 10 accept them

i'm protest against further trial of the
decker. AS the Yankees would not bite,
why continue to bait the hook? AS moth
ing had been or was to be gained by aban-
doning principle. why not return to it?
After all. principle might prove to be the
best policy.
Shutting has caused nearly all our tariff
woes. Both parties have offended. When
bidding for votes we have promised every
thing. When legislating in response to
votes thus obtained we have performed
very little. The results have been patch
work measures intended to save our
faces and hide our receptions. The Cor
man-Wilson law was a failure both as a
rev1ser and as a revenue producer. The
Payne law is under popular ban as a re-
wiser, but as revenue producer 1t is
one of the most successful tariff meas
ures ever enacted. In that respect 1t is
reaching the spot.
Mr.. Burgess should not bear so severely
on Mr. Bryan. The peerless leader has
played the game only as others have
done. They all do it. Mr.. Cleveland
came in the first time on tariff plank
declaring for revenue only. He was three
years in making up his mind, and then
in message to Congress declared for
what is called free trade. In six months
he was maneuver1ng for denomination on
an abandonment of that principle. but
was held by a national convention to the
stand he had taken. Four years later
his friends. with his consent. constructed
a tariff plank Of protection timber. but
were forced to abandon it in open conven-
ton for one of the opposite character,
which Mr.. Cleveland accepted.
Mr.. Bryan is for free raw materials,
but would run on a platform which did
not indorse that policy. Does Mr.. Bur-
CESS know a democrat of presidential
size who would prescribe to a national
convention the terms of deliverance,
and no other, upon which he would stand
for the presidency? If so. he should
name him, and give the country an OPP
portunity to inspect a very interesting
and unusual Individual
