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 er. Groom 05; Bride Only 14.

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.
