The New York Journal says,
“Wheu a newspaper urges political
action by workmen, when it de
mands that they vote for their
rights, the “leaders” are annoyed,
and declare that politics must be
kept out of labor unions; in other
words, that the workmen must do
his work without U9.inghis greatest
tool —the ballot. But if that be
so, why are the ‘leaders’ now used
to boom the politicrl game of anti
-expanson? Why do they speak
from public platfotms with the
Bourk Cochrans, Belmonts and
other brood of non-production par
asites? Clever, indeed, are the po
liticians. They use the working,
men to do the fighting and the eat
ing of rotton beef, then they use
the same men through their, lead
ers’ to rob the country of what it
has gained.”
Humored Sale of a Hoad.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 23.—1 t is re
ported here that the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company has sold its
railroad running from Birmingham to
Pratt City to the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad for $1,500,000, and an
agreement on the part of the purchaser
to haul the Tennessee company’s coal
from Pratt City mines for a term of
years at cost. Neither Superintendent
Newboli of the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad nor Vice President James
Bowron of the Tennessee company could
verify the feport. The latter thought
he was in a position to be informed and
regarded the report as improbable.
Sew Jersey and the Trusts.
Under the elastic corporation laws of
New Jersey a charter may be obtained
authorizing anybody to do anything or
everything. In consequence that state
has become the hotbed of trusts and
monopolies. Great aggregations of cap
ital find little or no difficulty in obtain
ing in New Jersey and West Virginia
authorization to conduct operations
which cannot be initiated in the other
Btates. Then by the comity by which
one state gives credence and recognition
to the sovereign powers of another jtate
the trusts essay to do business through
out the country. It is said that a single
small room in Camden or Trenton may
be the “headquarters” of as many as a
dozen corporations, with capital mount
ing into the millions, although the of
fice furniture would not bring $lO at a
public sale. These corporations may
have but nominal location in New Jer
sey, but they derive their authority
from the extraordinary laxity of the
New Jersey laws. —Philadelphia Ledg

THE LAW IN KANSAS.
LEGISLATURE PASSES STRONG MEAS
URE AT SPECIAL SESSION.
A Court of “Visitation,” With Power
10 Protect the People From Hall
way Tyranny Occasion For Ile
nnltiiiK Kanmm Populists.
A Topeka special to the Chicago Rec
ord says:
One of the objects of the special ses
sion of the Kansas legislature has been
accomplished in the passage of a rail
road bill. This was the only subject
mentioned in the message of the govern
or as of supreme importance, and the
passage of the new law means that the
Populist party within six days of the
end of its lease of power has performed
the action to which it pledged itself
when it was elected in 1890. It has
been one of the chief complaints of the
opposition that the party did not regu
late the railroads, and that it was in
that respect negligent of its duty. The
special session was to remedy this and
to make the party’s pledges good.
The workings of the new law will be
watched with interest. It was carried
through both houses by the vote of the
caucus, and the opposition was not al
lowed even a discussion. It is purely a
Populist pleasure, and that party wishes
to take all the credit for it. The new
law was written by G. C. Clemens, one
of the leading Populist lawyers of the
state and supreme court reporter. It
has for its chief feature a “court of visi
tation’’ that is to be composed of three
judges, with salaries of $2,500 each.
They are to be the rulers of the railroad
interests of the state, and there will be
nothing done in the way of regulating
the roads save through them and their
court. It is a far less radical measure
than was expected.
The judges are to bo elected for four
years at the election in 1900. Before
that time they are to be appointed by
the governor. The court is vested with
full common law power and jurisdiction
for the compelling of witnesses and the
production of records and is authorized
to decree freight and passenger rates,
revise demurrage charges, order im
provements and adjust disputes. It may
sit at the capital or at any place in the
state that it desires, having a clerk and
stenographer to attend its sessions. The
complaints are to be made in the name
of the state, and whether or not they
are to come before the‘board will de-
pend on the solicitor, who is a part of
the codrt and who acts as the attorney
of that body. If he thinks an action too
trivial for the consideration of the
court, he can refuse to bring it, having
the powers common to county attor
neys in state courts. There are provi
sions for the taxing of costs and for the
regulation of strikes, connecting lines,
interstate commerce and other matters
that are likely to puzzle the board.
The matter of regulating strikes is
the most interesting perhaps of the
law’s measures. In case of a strike the
court may investigate, and if it finds
the strikers are -wrong it may enjoin
them from further acts of injury to the
road. If it finds that the road is wrong,
it may order it to adjust the disagree
ment to the terms of the employees, or
may order it in the hands of a receiver
if it refuses these terfns. This places a
strong lever in the hands of th|o court
in labor troubles, and if it were disposed
to use it recklessly might make a great
deal of trouble for the roads. The ap
peals from the rulings of the court are
to go to the state supreme court, as do
those of the district courts.
Section 31 provides for penalties if
the railroads violate the provisions of
the act. It makes it a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of $l,OOO and one
year in jail, for any railroad to dis
criminate in charges or classifications,
with an additional fine of $l,OOO for
every day the company shall violate the
provisions of this act. It allows dam
ages both actual and exemplary, not
withstanding the provisions of the act.
The legislative session has much po
litical significance as indicating a feel
ing of union, if not entire harmony, on
the part of the Populists. While there
have been dissensions in the ranks dur
ing the past year, all the factions came
into line for the session. There has not
been a break in the working of the
caucus rule adopted by the majority,
and the plans of the leaders have been
carried out to the letter.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal, who
has been considered a rival and oppo
nent of the governor, has been one of the
hardest workers for the session, sustain
ing the action of the other leaders in
urging that the party redeem its pledges
to the people. He says that the railroad
bill will do a great deal of good, and
that its passage w T ill redound to the
credit of the state and the party. The
fact that the bill was named for At
torney General Boyle and is called the
Boyle bill means that the governor is
willing to give honor to another rival,
for it is talked freely that either Boyle
or Breidenthal is in line for the next
nomination for the governorship.
