It seems a little remarkable that, after
-U the blow and bluster regarding the
board of transportation, only one stock
shipper should be present at the meet
ing on February 6, when the matter of
rescinding the car-load order of 1897 was
taken up. F. B. Hibbard of Irvington
was the only stock shipper present, if
we except Auditor Cornell and Treas
urer Meeerve, both: members of the
board.
Mr. Hibbard believed the "cents-per-hundred
pound"method preferable to
the "car-load" system, but was certain
that considerable reduction should be
made from the present rates.

The Critic Criticised
Editor . Independent: I read with
deep Interest in your issue of the 1st
of FVhrarirv nn jirtlrI frnm fr WnL.
ter Johnson which appears as a criti
cism of an article in the World-Herald
of Jan. Oth by W. II. Ashby.
My object in writing Is not intended
as a defense of Mr. Ashby'a ideas, as
that gentleman Is abundantly ablejto
defend the children of his fertile mind.
But Agreeing with Mr. Johnson mat
agitation will attract the attention of
the people to a question upon which
tha Ttroa 1 tirtw nf rmmnnirir 1runrla
Induces, me to criticise "Mr. Ashby's
critic, trusting" that it may be received
in the same kindly spirit with which
it la sent. . "
That the power of good and e-ril of
money tinder the present financial sys-
em of the world as well as that of
h nroductJon and distribution is but
understood by the great majority
and even those who have given tlie
eaestioa thought for the purpose. of
destroying resultant wrongs, to, jumpi
St conclusions,, entirely antagonistic to
each other, and so long as the Dr.
CLoLgree In regard to the disease of the
patient, we are Justified In having lit
tle faith that they will agree upon- a
curative remedy.
. Tears of experience have taught me
that one of the greatest drawbacks to
success In the educational fields of
aaoney reforms and by and through
It land - labor and distributing ra
forms, ,1s the Juggling or -words,
terms, and phrases, such as price,
value, utility, units, standards of value,
parities, etc.. etc Our word coiners
and lexographers, must make sharps
and flats, so that the average man may
know when black - means black and
when it means something else. Com
mon acceptation of the meaning ' of
words are rudely brushed away, and
complications set up, to mystify , and
confuse. The. great mass of the En
gllsh speaking peopled educated -and
unlettered, easily conceive and agree,
that price is the amount demanded by
the holder or accepted by him from the
buyer; but our economic writers or
many at least are not satisfied with
this, as it will be no aid In bewilder
Ing and warping the truth, thus they
juggle the word and. claim for it quite
a different meaning, v
' Mr. Johnson says: "There are three
things In this money question value,'
price. and utility.' V
This in a sense is trae but not in
. the sense that Mr. Jcnson uses it.
lie says: "The value oY a thing, Is the
amount received for the thing when
cold."
This is certainly erroneous. It may
be much less and it may be much more,
which we will try to prove further on.
Again Mr. Johnson says: "There are
too many of us who believe that the
only function money has Is to pay
debts. '
Now will Mr. Johnson kindly cite me
and other Beakers after truth, how,
when, and where, money can, without
being prostituted, be used outside of
voiding of obligations, between uie
citizen and between the citizen and the
government. -
Mr. Johnson says that we always es
timate values and then proceeds to say
that the price paid, Is the value,' and
yet also states that we may fix a price
higher than its value. Why not lower
Brother Johnson? x '
I am afraid that Mr. Johnson has un
willingly fallen in the error or weak
ness of not only the republican party
that he thinks Mr. Ashby has fallen
In, but also Into that of its twin the
democratic party. Let us see. When
we estimate height, length, brcdth,
depth, weight, or value, we must have
a positive base, to estimate rrom, no
correct estimate can be made from a
fluctuating standard, price being ar
bitrarily fixed In various ways, it is
certainly impossible to make anything
like a true estimate by this method.
The money gamblers of the world
throughout the ages, have unceasingly
labored to Indelibly Impress on the
minds of mankind, that gold and sil
ver, singly at times and Jointly at
others, were the best and in fact the
only, true standard by which to esti
mate all other values, and its accept
ance has brought a continued harvest
of confusion and ruin.
Value and utility as used by the En
glish speaking people are synohimus,
each applying and going with the
other, when either is used in Its legiti
mate sense, the misuse or the word
value is where the trouble originates.
The true and only base of value is
human life, and the msot urgent needs,
to sustain, prolong, and reproduce the
race, must hold within themselves the
root and basis of value, as well as of
utility. .
Gold and 6llver not filling as urgent
needs of humanity as does Iron, gold,
and silver, are thus of less value as
well as of less utility.
But by ignorant and vicious states
manship, unjust and unnatosal needs
have been created, and society is com
pelled under great stress, to procure
gold and silver. k and thus fabulous
prices can be demanded and obtained.
but its value Is In no way changed and
no argument can make these bloody
handed assassines princes of love and
peace.
Life, liberty, and the persuit of hap
piness, la the true Americans shibbo
leth and whatever of earth, air and
water is of most urgent need to com
pass these blessings' in the highest
sense, are the only true standards by
which other values may be Justly esti
mated. , !
Outside of the air we breath, food
raiment and shelter are the first and
most urgent needs of mankind, the
procuring of these depend on labor and
labor thus becomes the soul of value,
wherever and whenever It Is applied
to supply man's real needs in his phy
sical mental and spiritual uplift.
Men say the valne of a diamond Is a
hundred, a thousand, many thousand
dollars. Here the word value is pros
tituted and compelled to take the place
of price, selfish winning having fash
ioned an 4doI and taught society to
worship It. thus creating false needs.
to supply a false appetite, has thus
been able to make a false standard of
value, but they have not been able
to endow it with the utility that must
vt follow true value. '
There is not a reasonably Intelligent
roan who is Imbued with " the spirit
of love as taught by the lowly Naza
ren and who has deeply investigated
the .financial system of the clvilteed
world, who will not declare it a stu
pendous, fraud born out of the "might

tem. ' i .
Our great mlsfortnne lies In the fact
that the millions of educated as well

Interest in the subject, to fairly and

another class content themselves with
a little surface dlglng, taking their cue
from bankers, gambling politicians and

Why Popular Vote Should
Elect Senators.
PRESENT CASE OT POINT.
The Rascally Act of Taylor In
Kentucky.

Sara That the Republican Consrress

Naught For Public Opinion He

Republicans Resort to Assasslaa

Special Washington Letter.
Reasons multiply on every hand why
senators of the United States should be
elected by popular vote, as governors
and other officers are now elected. The
last small bore politician, accidentally
In a position to unwittingly contribute
to the success of a good cause by a bad
action, is Governor Taylor of Ken
tucky. In order, as he thought, to aid
himself in his fight with Goebel he,' so
the , papers say, proposed to refuse a
commission to Senator Elect Joe Black
burn. Honest men will have to pinch
themselves to see Uf they are awake
when they read that announcement.
No man in the United States ever had
a clearer title to a seat in the senate
than has Mr. Blackburn. He received
a large majority of both houses of the
legislature larger than nine-tenths of
all the men ever elected to that high
office received. There is no taint or
charge or intimation of fraud,. intimi
dation or corruption made as to Black
burn's election, yet by the mere Ipse
dixit of a governor whose1 title to his
own office has been declared illegal,
Blackburn's commission, under the
present system, was to be held up and
he forced to go Into the courts to se
cure his rights and the rights of the
people of Kentucky or institute a con
test before the senate. This is done,'
this outrage is committed, mark you,
tor the corrupt purpose of forcing
Blackburn and Blackburn's friends to
assist Taylor to hold on to the seat
which by this one act, if no other, he
thoroughly demonstrates his utter tin
fitness for. Surely he is a beautiful, a
lovely, sample of that purity, patriot
ism and holier than thouness " which
the G. O. P. arrogates, and falsely, to
itself! v. . : ' -
Not the Only Rascal.
But Republican Governor Taylor Id
not the only rascal who, doing evil,
has" seen good come of it, and 1 miss
my guess if his unseemly and unpatri
otic conduct does not help along the
election of United States senators by a
direct vote of the people, a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished. There is
something invigorating in a contest be
fore the people. It tends to develop
capacity and courage, but the present
system has none of that exhilarating
effect. "
At the same time that the Republic
an governor of Kentucky is refusing
Blackburn his commission the Repub
lican governor of California Is calling
an extra session of the legislature to
elect a senator at large expense to the
people of that unfortunate state be
cause at the regular session of the leg
islature Dan Burns, and other boodlers
prevented the legislature from electing
a senator, as it was in duty bound
to do.
Perhaps that failure to elect a sena
tor by reason of the lavish use of boo
dle and the subsequent calling of a
special session of the legislature may
set men to thinking of how frequently
the present system of electing senators
of the United States fails of its object.
Glorying In Shame.
One of the New York papers remark
ed lately that Lyman J. Gage was the
most miserable man in Washington. I
don't believe a word of it. He belongs
to that strange class whom St. Paul
describes as "glorying In their shame."
He, well knows: that a Republican
house will not impeach him and that
a Republican senate will not convict
him, and, as to moral opinion, he cares
no more for that than a duck cares for
water poured on Its waterproof back.
The only public opinion that he would
care a rap for would be such a unani
mous public opinion of hostility as to
force President McKlnley to part com
pany with him as 1 he was forced to
Lpart company with the beloved Alger,
and. as he thinks be can control the in
formation which Is to go to the public,
he thinks he can bold public indigna
tion down to such a degree that the
president will not feel compelled to
bounce him In order to have any hope
of winning the next election. So Ly
man goes on feathering his nest and
the nest of the beloved Hepburn and
bis gang, thinking, no doubt, what Wil
liam H. ' Vanderbllt bluntly blurted
out, "The people be d df
The most we lost in losing this house
was the opportunity to probe the scan
dalous conduct of Lyman to the bot
tom. That be, ought to be impeached
is. I think, beyond all cavil; but. as it
takes a two-thirds vote to impeach, it
won't be done can't be done as we
were in minority of 13 before Hon. Jo
seph C. Sibley went to the defense of
Lyman, which left us In a minority of
15, as one going over counts two, and
since Mr. Roberts was bounced we are
in a minority of 16. So Lyman will
probably swagger around and repeat
Boss Tweed's famous question, "What
are you going to do about it?" Tweed
found cn to his 6orrowt and let a
hope that Lyman ciay find out to hla
sorrow. " -
Depends Ul Pvll.
Lyman depends on his political pull.
Just : as Tweed depended on his. It
will ultimately fail Lyman, Just as
Tweed's failed him. It will avail him
a little while, and I predict that unless
Presldat McKlnley "throws this mod
ern Jonah overboard the Republican
ship, with the whole erew aboard, will
be engulfed. So mote It be.
Mr. Sulzer of New York Introduced
a resolution providing for a special
committee to investigate Lyman's
transactions. 1 Sulzer's resolution was
referred to ' the committee on rules,
which reported . it , back, striking out
the special committee , feature, refer
ring it to the committee on ways and
means, authorizing it to do the investi
gating. So Suizer has to his credit the
barren victory of ordering an investi
gation, "while the investigation will be
done not bjr such committee as Sulzer
wanted, but by one composed largely
of the political friends of the secretary.
First thing Lyman, knows somebody
will plump a resolution into the house
providing for his impeachment, which
he richly deserves. There Is a hot time
in prospect anent Lyman and his do
ings. '-'.:. ;;( -;' ' V- ' ' ::T
On the proposition to refer the Gage
business to the committee on ways and
means Hon. James D. Richardson of
Tennessee, leader of , the house Demo
crats, said In part: . -
Tbert ttiuat be eonae reiflon why the secretary
of Um trMsurjr, wntitt he sold th custom house
property la, New York city to the National City
bank, did hot complete the title by conveying the
property to that bank. He took a paper credit
with that bank for a considerable part of the pur
chase money 8,Zlft,000, the total amount beta
93,306,000 leading the pitiful autn of 160,000 un
paid or uacredited. Why was this donef
I insist that the reason wat the Intention of
the secretary of the treasury, by agreement with
the National City bank, to excuse that bank from
paying taxes to the state and city of New York.
If it, be true that the secretary of the treasury
baa in bis official rapacity entered into a per.
sonal partnership with a favored bank in the city
of New York to prevent the city and state from
the collection of taxes, nq man on . this floor, I
take it, will contend that' he does not deserve'
condemnation.
The statement made shows that a large amount
of money has been made by the bank by reaon
of the secretary's action. , It Shows that the gov
ernment of the United States did not receive pur
chase money, for a large amount was retained in
the bank, and at the same time the state and city
of New York were not allowed the opportunity of
taxing its property. The whole amount, I am In
formed, reached something like $357,000 that tnis
government Juggling on the part of the secretary
of the treasury has enabled this bank to make.
.On the same subject Mr. Sulzer of
New York said In part: , :
There are matters of much greater significance
and of a more infamous character regarding- the
administration' of the treasury . department that
will come. out on a fair investigation..
It is said and not denied that the secretary of
the treasury permitted himself to be used by the
Standard Oil trust to aid it in manipulating the
stock market in Wall street, to the Injury of its
competitors and to the 'advantage of the Rocke
fellers. . .. ' . ? ; i
' The people t this country will never consent to
the treasury being turned over to the Standard
Oil trust for speculative purposes.
We want to subpoena the directors of the Na
tional City bank and find out from them J-tst
what aid they rendered the Republican party in
the last national campaign and just what favors
they have received from the Republican party
since March 4, 1807.
Republican Assassins.
- The Republicans of Kentucky have
added assassination,, to their office get
ting methoas. - Republicans have never
scrupled to steal any office from that
of president down to constable. Now
they have taken to shooting down in
cold blood their opponents. Whether
Goebel is right or wrong has nothing
to do with it. He had a perfect right
to contest Taylor's title to the govern
orship of "the dark and bloody ground'
Every candidate for office in any state
In the Union has a right to contest
when he deems the law and the facts
on his side. We hear a great deal of
talk against lynching, but it ought to
be remembered that it is as much a
lynching to shoot a man as to hang
him. ..The result Is precisely the, same
to the victim. So it seems to me that
Republicans will have to haul In their
horns on that proposition. They will
also have to sing smaller on their much
vaunted moral superiority v over the
rest of mankind. '
Repabllcana and Trusts.
A witty Irishman once said that he
was in favor of a certain law, but
against its enforcement. That appears
to be the exact position of Republic
ans as to the trusts. A very wise man
once said, "Let me write the songs of
a people, and I care not who makes
their laws." The trusts seem to say.
"Let us select the federal Judges, and
we care not what laws state legisla
tures pass.' That they would be safe
in proclaiming such a theory is shown
by the following dispatch:
Chicago, Jan. 589. Judge C C Eohkaat in the
United States circuit court today decided te
antitrust act of the Illinois legislature in 1&4
void ea the grrond that the statute contains both
class and special legislation and is in eon t raven
tioa of the feoVral and state constitutions. The
opinion of the eeisrt .bears mere directly on the
ninth clause of the Set of 1890, but the validity
of the whole act is also denied. The ruling wjt
made in the case of the Union Sewer Pipe com
pany against Thomas Conelly. but applied as well
to the ease ef the same plaintiff against Willis;
Dee, the two causes having been tried conjointly
The court took the case from the jury and gave
instructions that the finding be in favor ef the
plaintiff. The Union Sewer Pipe company brought
suit to recover upon promissory notes given by
the defendants, who contended that the plaintiff
wat a trust or combination organised for the ex1
press purpose ef cresting and carrying out re
strictions in trade. ;
Guess the trusts think that there is
nothing quite so reliable as "a friend
at court" who Is. the court. This de
cision is on a par with the infamous in
come tax decision. Everything for the
plutocrats, nothing for the people.

quoted from the; Washington Post,
the most ably edited, independent pa
per, in .t America; It is for the gold
standard and has a pronounced bias in
favor of President McKlnley. -I think
it really detires his re-election.' With
this preface I hertfy quote from It .the
following editorial, remarkable alike
for its awful skinning of Bourke Cock
ran and its philosophizing as to past
legislation and future events:
DEMOCRACY. IN 1900.
Mr. Bourke Cockran, arrayed in what is left of the
bedraggled finery and overdone rouge of 1896, comes
gallivanting about the hedgerows and curbstones
of the Democracy's domain, ogling the Hon. Wit
liam J. Bryan and Umpting bun with the nods
and becks and wreathed smiles ef the political
Courtesan. We have him paying fervent tribute
to Mr. Bryan's integrity sad singleness of pur
pose, his steadfast courage and his indomitable
convictions. We have him, in fact, hinting that
the experiences of an outcast have not. been alto
gether satisfactory and that he might be-persuaded,
if properly, approached, to return to a life of
the very severest party virtue.
N .Nobody in the Democratic ranks ef course
cares , three straws ; for the alliance of such a
swashbuckler as Bourke Cockran. His adherence
Is, like his antagonism,' a thing of no account
with any self respecting party organisation. His
opposition is aa imponderable as his partisanship.
His poses are as worthless as his principles. A
mere chevalier d' Industrie in politics, he neither
lends prestige to the cause he espouses nor com
municates alarm to that whieh he assails. Mr.
Cockran forfeited Whatever , importance he may
have possessed and it was never very great
when, four years ago, be abandoned the party
which had rescued him from ebscurlty and requit
ed its indulgence with a treacherous Ingratitude.
Tammany had made him, out of next to nothing
in the way of available material, and he rewarded
Tammany With betrayal and desertion. The Dem
ocratic party bad honored and confided in him,
and be recognized that service by foregathering
with its foes. We are not surprised to hear that
Mr. ' Bryan, who possesses at least the virtue of
fanaticism, honesty, , has dismissed Cochran's
overtures with contempt. . ' '
But it is always worth while to give a passing
thought to the movements of political mercena
ries, no matter how inconsiderable they may' be
themselves. The tendency of the bolters of 1896
and there were conscientious men among them aa
well as, cranks and mercenaries to return to the
Democratic fold means something, and we can af
ford to speculate as to what that something la.
Can it be, for example, the Republican legisla
tion which, by establishing the gold standard ab
solutely, makes it impossible for any Democratic
administration to resurrect the silver question T
We think it is. The Republicans have deliberate
ly eliminated the ,mtt potent factor in the
scheme of their campaign, it was the honest and
the patriotic thing to do perhaps, but certainly
it was hot shrewd. The goblin of free silver has
beefl laid upon the shelf. The shriek over the
"dishonest dollar" has been stilled. It is no lon
ger possible, - with the gold standard .-solemnly
and formally enthroned, to frighten capital into
contribution and to array every substantial inter
est in the country against the silver propaganda.
Suppose Bryan wre ejected; what could he do to
disturb the monetary equilibrium and make a
wreck of values? Even though the Democrats
should secure a majority in the bouse the senate
woold still be for, gold and legislation of a dis
turbing neture hopelessly impossible. ' The Demo
cratic party, therefore, no longer handicapped by
the nightmare of tree silver, but, on the contrary,
strengthened by the growing sentiment of anti
imperial itm, ia in a far better position now than
it was in ISO. Indeed it is in a position to at
tract all the professional free lances and place
hunters who, through .long practice, are able to
cent plunder from afan , ; ; ;
. We find little difficulty ih accounting for the
flirtatious overtures of Mr. Bourke Cockran' De
mocracy baa a chance this year, and Mr. Cockran
knows it.' :: ;-:' "; ' - ;
Representative Crumpacker .has been
striving valiantly ever since the be
ginning of this congress to have the
congressional representation of the
south based on the vote cast rather
than on the' population. This smachs
very much of the late force bill. Mr
Crumpacker is an honest man, but an
intensely fierce partisan. A great many
Republicans had all along doubted the
political efficacy of this measure, fear
ing that It would act in the nature of
a boomerang. That the conservative
Republicans, conservative on this Sub
ject at least, are in the majority is
shown by the action of the most recent
Republican causu's, which unceremo
niously rolled Crumpackers proposi
tion out of doors. The truth Is that a
close Inspection will demonstrate thai
the election, laws of some of the New
England states are about as question
able, even in Republican eyes, as those
of Mississippi or South Carolina.
Tne Fiar ntinn; Stagra.
The combatants had moved about
the meadows, much as expert boxers
would, though after a quarter of an
hour's fighting weight had told Its tale,
and the smaller stag had to retreat
more frequently than ever, and the ad
versaries were fast approaching the
edge of the forest at the tatter's back.
Here a last stand was made by the de
feated one, and a ten minutes' tussle
ended by bringing both on to their
knees, and here, too, the repulsed one
received his death . wound, though I
failed to see exactly how It was Inflict
ed, the movements being so rapid and
the light too Indistinct.
It appeared to me. however, that the
weaker stag, on regaining his feet first,
made a dash at his foe, but from some
cause or other his lunge missed Its aim,
and, while the impetus carried him
past his 'still kneeling adversary, hi
whole flank was exposed to the thrust
of the latter's horns. '.,1 The next second
be was down, too, but this time with a
heavy thud vtretched out at full length.
Just out of reach of the kneeling vic
tor's horns, who. too exhausted to rise,
kept . butting at the body which he
could not reftch.
A minute Liter they were, both up
again, but the battle was decided, and
the wounded hart fled Into . the forest,
where I found him the next morning
dead, with a ghastly slash two feet
length, that had ripped open his side
and penetrated to his vitals. -"Oarr
