It would be Idle to deny that the Democratic presidential campaign ha received an awful if not fatal set back In President Roosevelt's reply to ; Mr. Bryan aa regards tho connection of C. N. Haskell with the Standard Oil Company. In the absence of what the lawyers call a demurrer, we cannot but regard the President's re Joinder aa complete. To Democrats who delighted In the boldness of Mr. Bryan's challenge, tho developments of thla morning are disconcerting; to SOVTHERX RAILWAY KOOXOMTES Jt Ja certain that the'Southern Rail way hasma3e a remarkable showing for economy "of operation during- re cent months, especially aa compared with". Uts vown previous . record. That this has been in all respecta a wise economy, Area from short-sight ednesa, la asserted by Mr. Fairfax Harrison. Va- vies, president of th Southern, In explaining- tha road's greatly increased net earnings since last March despite necessarily de creased gross earnings. In July the Southern did $642,(72 less business than last year and yet made 1405,676 more money. Commenting upon these figures and the very natural supposition that such results had been attained at the expense of the conservative up-keep of the property. -Mr. Harrison, as quoted in The New York Commercial, proceeds with his explanation ' "Not only has the roadbed been kept up in all respects necessary for the sufe and prompt movement of trams,' said air. Harrison, 'but It has been matcriully strengthened In the past year. Tile de pression in buelness left some equipment Idle and repairs on some of this, which It waa reasonable to expect would not be needed Immediately, was deferred until sucti time as It. appeared the equipment would be needed. " 'That time Is now and the appropria tions for repairs of equipment have been Inrreased fur September and November. Full time was resumed In the shops a short time ago. It has hapjened that the comnanv has always had a surplus of both good and bad order cars, above Its requirements, but It bus always been able to handle the traffic available.' " 'Has ttiere not been a slighting of maintenance charges compared to the previous years?" was asked. ' 'An Indication that tills Is not the case.' enid Mr Harrison, 'is that for the 10 years previous tho average mainten ance of way charges a mile were $flO. while for the year Just ended passed the charge was 11.015 per mile, an increase ol 14 per cent. The average annual charge for maintenance of equipment for each engine during the 10 years was $j,32, and In the past year It was a little less, or J2.1M. but ttie average cost ol main taining engines a mile during the past year was Is 06. comparer wmi .im in me 10 years, showing the efficient maintenance- of the locomotive the past yenr.

The case Is worse for The Democratic party than for the Repub lican. Haskell Is the Governor of his State, the national committeeman for - It, Is th treasurer of the national : committee and was the chairman of the platform committee of the Denver convention. Koraker, on the con trary, was a repudiated, discredited , member of his party, with whom its . presidential candidate wanted to have ' nothing to do and who greeted him on 'the platform at Younirstown, O., only on persuasion. The President with his customary unfairness, taxes Mr. Bryan with the responsibility for Haskell. No one iWlth an honest mtnd should believe that Mr. Bryan did not regard Haskell 's as- other than a correct man That the facts develop otherwise should not be charged against him or the Democratic party, but the public, dls- . regarding detail, looks at all case,. In bulk and to-day's Judgment will be, on account of one- Ins'lgnillcant man, against and we fear fatcfully against a great party which, twenty four hours before, had most encourag-, log prospects.

" 'Governor Haskell was one of Mr. Bryan's right hand men in the Dem ocratic convention, and at Mr. Bry an's Instance, has been mado treas urer of the Democratic national com mittee. It Is appalling to think what would be tho results In the educa tional systems of tne Philippines and Porto Rico, In the digging of the Panama cunal, in the work of Irri gation and reforestation, In tho ad ministration of the iiostofllces, the Interior and Agri-cultural Depart ments, In the appointments of foreign ministers and consuls, if tho spirit which 'has actuated tho Democratic authorities in the State of Oklahoma should be pomltte( to take control of tho Federal government at Wash ington. Governor Haskell, by actions which speak louder than words, has declared his disbelief in Grover Cleve land'a motto "A public oftice is a pi-.blic trust," and Mr. Hakell ia a representative leader In the Bryan Democracy. What does Mt. Bryan think of Mr. Cleveland's principle? What elo the American people think of Mr Haskell's contemptuous re versal of it?'

There Is even more than that. Ho would have the appointment of thous ands of officers and while it may be said that thiise would be subject to confirmation by a Republican Semite, It Is to bo borne In mltui that the Senate floes not as a rule reject presi dential appointments for partisan reasons but for other cause. It Is to be borne in mind, further, that If the Dcmocr-its carry the presidency they will in all lik-lihood carry the -House also, and with a friendly House the way to the enactment of Demo cratic legislation would be far smoother. Argument: The Influence Of a President over an adverse Senate la proverbial. It is recalled. f(ir In stance, that President Cleveland wrung from a hostile Senate the re peal of the Sherman silver purchase act. In the next Senate will be a number of members who will be friendly to Mr. Rryan's anti-f orpora tion policies, as there are In the pres ent Senate a number who are In sym pathy with those of President Roose velt, and who upon many measures would co-operate with the Democrats. In addition there are many times ways of handling recalcitrints. i. Thus, In a word, Democrats who may be discouraged by the prospect of a baa tile Congress and Republicans whosmay derive consolation from a similar prospect, ne?d r,ot be too sure that ft Democratic president with an adverse Congress would be a Presi dent with his hands tied and incapable of deeds either, as they may be view ed, f virtue or of mischief. rt cases cited.
