Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana
Indianapolis, June 28.-The appel
late court upholds the right of appeal
from the railroad commission, and re
fuses to dismiss an appeal taken by the Monon railroad from an order of the commission. The unusual condition
was presented of both parties to the appeal insisting that there was no right
of appeal because of the invalidity of
a law. The railroad commission, which
owes its own creation and existence

act was all valid except two sections conferring the right of appeal from or
ders made by the commission.
Railways Say It Is All Bad. While the railroads admitted those
two sections are invalid, they assert
ed that the whole act is unconstitutionUnder these circumstances the court
called on the artorney general to de
fend the law, and its decision supports
his contention as against both the parThe court held that the exclusive
jurisdiction conferred on the appellate
court in railroad commission cases gives it power to decide whether or
not the law under which it is called
on to act, is constitutional, but con
tented itself with the ruling that the
appeal would lie without deciding the
constitutionality of the law as a whole.
Court Explains the Law. The Monon appeal questioned the
right of the commission to make an
order fixing rates. The opinion of the court, written by Judge Robinson, says
that the law in question leaves the railroads with authority to fix rates,
subject to interference by the commis
sion if an unreasonable rate is estaband complaint is made under oath by an injured party.
Finish of the Inquiry. Upon the presentation of such a com
plaint, the inquiry by the commission
is limited to the single question wheth

by the railroad is reasonable, and the commission follows methods substan
tially like those which a court might
have followed to determine the same
question before the commission was
created.

Milwaukee, June 28.-That the Democrats of Wisconsin will indorse William J. Bryan as the party's nationstandard bearer in the campaign of
1908 and declare for a revision of the
tariff there seems to be no question.
When Daniel H. Grady, of Portage,
the temporary chairman of the convenreferred in his speech to Bryan as the "embodiment of the principles of
Democracy," and hoped that "he may
live to see the triumph of the cause
and answer to the people's call to the
helm of state, leaving an official record as stainless as that of his private life,"'
the 700 delegates attending the conbroke forth in tumultous ap-
Applause Was Spontaneous. The applause was spontaneous, and
every delegate took part in it. Many
of the delegates who two years ago were opposed to the Nebraskan are now strongly for him. The commiton resolutions, with Judge Louis
Marchetti, of Wausau, as chairman, put in most of the night over resolu
tions that had been offered. John A.
Aylward, of Madison, was chosen per
manent chairman and when the conreconvened at night made a strongly speech reviewing state and national issues.
Looks for a Great Resurrection. He referred to Bryan in the followlanguage "The death and burial of the Democratic party has not hapyet. True, our Republican friends bury us quite regularly, but they plant us face up, and we have the faculty of digging out. Six years ago they tried planting us face down, and we dug out through China. We have witnessed the dawnof a day of freedom in Russia. Last week we were present at the orof popular government in Norway, and soon, in the grandest resurrection the world has known since the Prince of Peace walked forth from Calvary's sepulchre, we shall arhome with the peerless, fearless, William Jennings Bryan." This referto Bryan was cheered to the
echo. In this campaign and in the next, he said, our dominant cry shall be "rational tariff revision." The night
session was given forth to speechmak-

MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES
Matter That Is of Interest to Coal MinSeeking Work in the Keystone State. Philadelphia, June 28.-The United Mine Workers won an important vic
tory in the state supreme court when an opinion was announced holding that a certificate of qualification is required before a miner can work in the anmines of the commonwealth, and that two years' practical experias an anthracite mine worker or laborer is necessary before the certifican be obtained. The opinion affirms the Lackawanna county court and the state superior court. The latter court, to which the case was first appealed, upheld the law insofar as a certificate should be rebut declared that section of the act requiring a two-year's experiin Pennsylvania mines unconstibecause it discriminated against citizens of other states seekemployment. The supreme court disagrees with this view and affirms the law in its entirety.

CROMER WANTS THEIR SCALPS
Representative in Congress Demands
the Resignations of Two PenExaminers. Muncie, Ind., June 28.-Much sur
prise was created in political circles when it was announced that Repre
sentative Cromer had demanded, in
peremptory letters, without assigning
a cause, the resignations of Dr. Frank
G. Jackson, of Muncie. and Dr. C. W.
Smith, of Selma, as members of the Delaware county board of pension exFriends of Cromer say that
the demand for the physicians' resig
nations is due to Cromer's belief that
Drs. Jackson and Smith were not friendly to him in his contest against Horace Stilwell for the Republican
nomination for congressman a few
weeks ago.
Both physicians owe their appoint
ments to representatives previous to Cromer in this district, and it is proba
ble that neither will pay any atten
tion to Cromer's request, denying his
jurisdiction and authority.

dore Roosevelt, Senator LaFollette and
Thomas Lawson, William Jennings
Bryan, Governor Folk and W. R.

Wall street despisers are the great men of their parties and it is their Popuiist tendencies alone that have
made them more highly esteemed than
their ordinary fellow partisans."

asked "What is a Democrat?" and
there was no answer. Then he asked
What is a Republican?" and a voice
shouted "A crazy Democrat," amid
general laughter. J. W. Forest, of New York, delegate to the national Democratic convention of 1904, who bolted Parker's nomination, declared that radicalism would sweep the coun
