Which is the Anarchist? *
You charge the Kansas and Nebraska
farmer 13 cents to haul his grain 200
miles. You charge the grain dealer 6
cents to haul that same grain twice as
far to Chicago. I tell you gentlemen,
it is that kind of business that is making
anarchists out of the farmers west of
the Missouri river.
This is not the language of a socialist
ic agitator; it did not fall from the lips
of one seeking to stir up sedition against
the plutocracy; it was not uttered by
one of Edward Atkinson’s “silver luaa
tics, idiots or criminals. ” Those were
the words addressed by President A. B
Stickney, of the Chicago Great Western
railroad to a group of railroad officials
and attorneys who had been summoned
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Chicago to tell what they
knew about alleged violations of the
interstate laws.
Was ever severer arraignment made
by the veriest anti-monopolist of the
methods employed by the railroads to
subjugate the farmer and destroy the
profits of agriculture? When thieves
fall out, honest men get their dues, it is
said and had Mr. Stickney been permit
ted to keep right on talking, some inter
esting data might have been presented.
But the Chicago Evening Post is author'
ity for the statement that “railroad
ethics” has sealed the lips of President
fjrickney against further expression, ! and
that all the other fellows had forgotten,
when the commission assembled the next
day everything they ever knew aboutanv
rate -cutting or any other breach of the
law, which they had been so witling
but the day before to tell all about.
But enough was said to prove to the
farmer that the charges made against
the grinding exactions of the railroads
are true; that he is placed beneath the
upper and nether millstones of low pri
ces in the markets and extortionate
railroad rates to get his products there.
The most damaging assertions ever
made against the railroads have come
from men like Mr. Stickney or the for
mer president of the Union Pacific sys
tem, Charles Francis Adams, who knew
from intimate acquaintance with all the
Retails that the methods of the railroads
Pvere dishonest and calculated to impov
erish the men who produce the bread
stuffs and meats for the world, and Mr.
Stickney has himself gone so far as to
ksay that the only true solution of the
POST OFFICE.
tfaidWffi ‘"problem' lies! ia government
ownership and control.
President Stickney made one mis.
statement. The farmers are not becomS
iug anarchists. They are as lawabidiug
today as they were when hundreds of
thousands of their numbers responded to
the call for troops aud went out to fight,
todie, if need be, to preserve the Union-
They cannot be driven to anarchy by
machinations of railroad officials who
calmly override all law and insist that
they are a law unto themselves. But
the farmers of the country are coming
to realize more deeply than ever that
the charges made by Mr. Stickney are
true, aud that they are trying to discov
er the best method of forever settling
the difficulties pointed out by him.
When they are sure they are right the
railroads will find it out, not bv any
anarchistic outbreak, but by such an
appeal to law, an appeal so resolutely
and so firmly made, that the Legisla
tures of the states and the Congress of
the nation, and the president in the
White House will not dare for one mo
ment to resist it. There will be a revo.
iution in railroad affairs, but it will be
brought about by the peaceful processes
of evolution and in conformity to law
and the constitution. —Chicago Far

WOMAN AND FASHION.
Late Summer Styles In Bonnets and
Gowns—The Tea Cigarette.
Here and There.
Artificial flowers have had a remark
able run in millinery this season, but
already there is a growing tendency to
ward birds, wings and feathers. A nov

tops. Breadth appears to be a feature
in hats as well as bonnets, and trim-

ming placed on both sides carries ont
this idea. Among the later favorites
come the high crowned straw hats,
which are appropriately worn with gar
den party toilets. For indoor entertain
ments toques and bonnets arc the rule,
huge hats being out of place for such
occasions.
Many women wear veils with the
large hats. The newest thing in this
line is a wide tulle veil, tied loosely
about the hats, with the ends brought
round again from the back to tie under
the chin. A popular veil is of oream col
ored net, with small white or black dots.
Wrinkled waist bands are now fash
ionable. These are very wide. Home
are of black satin and can be worn with
any gown, while others are. of the same
color as the gown. These bands, of
whatever material made, are cut bias
and wrinkle gracefully and fit perfectly.
Garden party gowns are now in order.

are a conspicuous feature of dress trim
mings. Maltese lace is another popular
dress trimming.
White alpaca is made up in a variety
of ways, the most popular, perhaps, be
ing the coat and skirt style. As to grass
linen gowns and linen crash suits, these
are endless. They have proved a boon
during the hot, sultry days.
The Tea Cigarette.
The tea cigarette has already been in
troduced as an after dinner entertain
ment in fashionable circles, wh re it is
said to be very welcome, since it enables
the ladies to keep their hushan s com
pany in their after dinner smbkint. The
tea cigarette is about three inch's long
and of the size of a lead pencil. The
New York ladies are making presents
of boxes of tea cigarettes to one another,
as they formerly presented bonbons.
Tea smoking was introduced from Paris
into New York city. As theme, the
poison of tea, is volatile, like the nico
tine of tobacco, when tea is smoked like
tobacco, Good Health says there will
soon be anew series of nervous disorders
added to the already long list of human
ailments.

The Thief Offers Terms.
We clip the following article
from the Atlanta Constitution :
The democratic convention of Clayton
county which assembled in Jonesboro
two mouths ago passed resolutions au
thoriztng the executive committed of
the party to confer with a like authority
in the populist party with a view to ob
taming peace and reconciliation be
tween the two parties, and this is what
The Jonesboro Enterprise now says of
that conference:
“It has been ignored by the populists,
audit is evident that they will lend no
co operation to the efforts of the and mio
orats to eliminate some of the bitter
Strife that has marked the local cam
paigns for several years. So it certainly
looks like they do not wish to promote
e ther peace or principle and are waging
a fight for office only ”
It is very nice indeed, for the
Veilow who has stolon your goods
to conio around and offer a com
promise whereby<’he is to inherit
part of them for being such a
sbrude thief.
At the lust election in Clayti n
county the popttiists carried the
county fairly anil squarely and
the democratic lfennagers refused
to count them fat the precinct
where the populist had a majority.
• Now, these villmus come back
and want to “harmonize” things,
If justice was meted out things
Would be harmonious now and
such rascals as committed the
fraud in Clayton would be serving
It now turns out that Col. Troup
Taylor, of Atlanta, was the origi
nal people’s party man. In 1870
he advocated the formation of a
new party to be called the people’s
party. Where is Bro. Taylor now?
