but tho Bonator from Illinois voices a
cteep and widespread popular convic
tion whon he says that the peniten
tiary Is where Ilarriman ought to go.
As a wrecker of railroads Jay
Gould's position In the hall of shame
was secure until Hiirrlman came
along. Then Jay Gould looked like a
cheap rufllan In finance by comparison
with tho first class bandit who capi
ta llsscd tho very debt of the Chicago
& Alton after he had 'stripped that rail
road. Daniel Drew, who simply got a
piintlng press and printed enough Erie
stock to save himself when Commo
dore Vanderbilt conlered the market,
vns a piker to the imaginative coun
terfeiter who printed stock just - as
fast as he wanted It to got all the rail
roads of the country Ihto Ifis own
hands.
There is individual means of protec
tion against the counterfeiter of United
States bank notes. Caution of onr
own will guard us from being cheated. .
When we are ordinarily prudent wc do
not need the government's protection
against tills class of counterfeiters.
We can even protect ourselves as in
vestors from the Wall street green
goods men who imitate values by print
ing shares of stock having no more
value behind them than the spurious
United States bank note. But only the
government can protect us,, as railroad
passengers, from Harriman slaughter
and, as railroad shippers, from Harri
man robbery.
The American people want Harri
man punished, and they will be bitterly
disappointed if he does not go to pris
on. If he escapes there is something
so rotten with tho law and the admin
istrators of the law that they want
the demonstration made so that they
will know where the rottenness is.
Harriman ought to be prosecuted,
and if more Garfiolds lmvp nor hnmi
giving hlra immunity baths he will be
convicted. Public opinion will continue
to demand his prosecution in spite of
the opinion of Senator Cullom that the
prosecution would fail, or, indeed, in
spite of such a pessimistic view by
any other authority, however high,
than the United States courts.
The prosecution of "Harriman would
be worth while if it did nothing more
than to prove that crimes of sueh
enormity and infamy can be committed
in this country without incurring the
consequences that attend the paltry
peculations of a clerk or the pllferiiigs
of a shoplifter. New York Press, (Republican.)

It's little he knows, it's little he cares,
'Bout the shortage of cars on tho
railway,
Feels little concern how his fellow-man
fares,
So long as his life Is a hey-day.
Tne movement of freight is at pace of
a snail,
Oft taking a month for a day's run,
Contented the manager puffs like n
rnlf
Just figuring profits per mile-ton.
Tho factories close because of no coal,
Or no cars that can take out their
product,
It never can harrow the manager's
soul,
JNor change in the least his own con
duct. Tho the corn and the wheat lay and.
rot on the ground
He is deaf to the pleas of the ship
pers, Whose arguments all are invariably
frowned,
As the manager puts on the nippers.
The general manager managevth not,
Else things wouldn't be so chaotic;
Kailroading Is more of a chance drawl
ing lot
That rules with a hand most
potic.

ROOSEVELT AND TARIFF
It Is extremely unfortunate for the
country, and it should ho snii rim
republican party as well, that the pres-
iuuiil is so unconcerned about the tar
iff. It is a public evil which over
shadows all the others with all re
spect to the opinion of tho president.
It Is the great question of the day and
it will almost certainly be tho pre-'
dominating issue in the approaching
presidential campaign, in spite of tho
eflorts of tho standpatters and the
tariff-fed trusts to keep It in the back
ground. It is clear that to the great
mass of the people the moral, the eth
ical side of the tariff as well as the
financial side, does appeal, and there
cm bo no question as to the response
they will make when the opportunity
to express their conviction comes to
them. Milwaukee Journal.
