The Democrats of the pfOW ui hous ' of represent all ves have ulreaily uslvc 1 the executive departments for Info i 'nation about the Fennsylvania railroad, which control a number of other rattSOadS) but the evidence produced by the administration is no hu m ger that it virtually amounts to repeating what Senator Kn x said when ttortay 'iieral: that the administration .s not going to run amuck again! the railroads. It 's stated by the governor of West Virginia in a letter to Senator Tillman that that state Is suffering from a railroad combination, of which the leui.c lvania railroad Is the head, and says the goverdnor: "It is a fact that West Virginia is to day In tho grasp Df a railroad trust which practically says what part of the state sh.ill be deve'opel, how much coal shall be shipped out of the state, to what jxdnts or parts 't shall bo shipped, and Wheo it shall be shipped. Of course, It mali?s its own rates, and our people are helpless." That Is a grave indictment Of the railroad combine, and also in indictment of "the policy of the Republican party, which refuses to prosecute such a plundering combination, aa the law requires. There is not much doubt that all the other great railroad combines art) equally culpable. Then there are the tariff rates that the Republican party refuses to revise, under which tho trusts charge lower prices for their products to foreigners than to our own people, and unde.- which the steel trust alone makes a clear profit of $150,000 000 s year, and the sugar trust millions oi dollarr, beyond a fair profit, and many other trusts In proportion. Theee and other great problems must be settled on tht basis of the Demecratic policy, and can never be settled right by the Republicans, who have been receivers of part of the plundering of the people, through their political bosses, who use. the rampaign funds received frem the tni-ts and orponitions to perpetuate th ir power.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION. It Is Up to the Senate Now to Give the People a Fair Deal. The house of representatives, having passed the bill to regulate railroad rates with practical unanimity, the interstate conimeree committee of the senate will no longer be able to dallyalong and quibble about what shall be reported. Senator Elkins and the other railroad senators will have to fish or cut bait, for the question now Is, yes, or no. on the house bill. It may not be pcifcct. it probably Is not, but It contains the principle of the people controlling the railroads instead of the railroads controlling the government, and that is a step in the right direction. It is to be hoped that any amendment by the senate to change the principle Involved that, when a r.re has been declared unreasonable, the interstate commerce commission has power to make a reasonable rate
in place of it, which shall go Into effect and stand until set aside by the eOOItg as confiscatory, will not prevail, and will be resisted by the homo of
representatives, if it Is necessary to continue in session until December, when the noxt session begins. It is a treat triumph for the Democracy to have the Republicans adopt In the bill almost the exact language of the last national Democratic platform. In tho clause above mentioned, OTMo) Involved the real virtue of the measure, Whkh It is hoped will give the peop.o relief from unreasonable rates. The Mil ls not just as the Democrats WOOJ 1 have had It; they would, if in the majority, have made the provisions i f the bill stronger In many par th ulars, but wisdom dictated that It was as stringent a measure as could be passed by the present congress. After the e-ourtR have had an opportunity to pass upon tho constitutionality of the act as a whale, or any pardewhxr elaawe, it win bo the duty of the D BaOCrOtS to amend or strengthen the provisions of the bill, if necessary, to Injure the establishment of reasonable inte. Reasonable rates are what :he people aro demanding, nnd nothln ; less will eventually satisfy them.
