When the reaction against graft began to tke form two of three years ago and then against the bosses und thef. machine, which, it was soon dis covered, constituted the condition precedent of graft many, perhaps the majority, of, those one would meet on the railways and in the cities believed that the movement was but a temporary spasm of yirtue. All the signs now point to the contrary as the i fact . The almost ., unanimous passage of the; railway rate bill by the House-of Representatives, over whelmingly Republican , and there fore presumably- favorable to the rail ways, caused many to regard mat measure with suspicion,. This view, however, was weakened by the re flection that the members of the pop- ular branch of Congress, . who pad less than two yearS lease of power, and were anxious to secure their re election, could afford to favor a bill providing for a genuine reform be cause the lone-ternied meniDers oi the Senate, with a more remote ac countability to the people, could, be counted upon to defeat it or amend it into harmjessness. And that view has been al most eradicated by the treatrhen t the bill has received since it reached the Senate at the hands of the more stalwart friends of the corporations there, and by the general opposition of the railway interests themselves. While, therefore, the Senate may de feat an efficient railway regulation bill, the fact that all but nine mem bers of the House voted in favor of a bill which the railways oppose, indi cates a revolution in the sentiment of the masses who control the members of that body little short of amazing, when we reflect that it is but ten years since the Democracy was de- feated upon its advocacy of that prin ciple. We say upon its advocacy of that principle, because it was that and the propositions related to it like opposition to government by injunc- tion, for example that strengthened corporation opposition to the Dem ocracy in 1896 and 1900 more than the demand for the remonetization of silver. The triumphs of Folk ahd LaFollette in the West, of Weaver in Philadel phia, and of the movement against the insurance grafters in New York, are merely indications of the same popular comprehension of the virtue of the Democratic declarations in the Chicago platform of 1896 which has forced a Republican House of Repre sentatives in 1906 to pass a railway egulation bill that excites the oppo sition of the railways. Other indications of the same char acter are: the bill just passed by the Senate providing for . the punish ment of Government officials for the premature divulgence of . secret in formation of Government bureaus in such matters as the crop reports; the action of the Senate committee on privileges and elections, day before yesterday, which instructed a sub committee, consisting ' of Foraker, Knox and Bailey, to draft a bill to prohibit national banks from contri buting money for campaign .purposes if the pending measures are not satis factory; and the widespread agitation for the prevention of the secret and corrupt use of money in national elections. When it is recalled that this little Observer was the only newspaper in America which advo cated such a measure as the last men tioned as far back as 1893,' some idea of the extent of the revolution can be had. From all of which to say nothing of the complete restoration of Mr. Bryan, the ablest and most persis- tent advocate of the reforms referred to, to leadership in the Democratic party we think we may reasonably answer the question with .which we have headed this article in the affir mative. - The moral of it all is, that the sov ereign people of this republic have not become corrupt, alone with so many of their public servants; but ' m the contrary, that the cumulative effect of information, coupled with a uore complete realization of the mis carriage of their efforts through the ibstacles supplied by the complex orm of our government, have at fast aroused them. AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION. . We had occasion yesterday to enu merate some of the more notable evi dences of the revolution - which is sweeping over the country in respect to graft in its various forms and the economic humbugs which promote it or grow out of it. Here is another just come to hand. In yesterday's Raleieh News nd Observer ; Mr, Pence gave some notes of the onten tions of the cotton mill men before the senate committee on 'foreign af fairs,' which had the matter of the Chinese boycott under consideration Mr: D. A. '.Tompkins, of Charlotte, expressed the belief that ft relaxation of the Chinese exclusion laws in favor of the1 'high-class Chinamen who might come to our shores,, while . maintaining their - stringency- to wards the coolies, or laboring class, would tend to allay Chinese hostility to us.. He urged that there was no desire among manufacturers to bring Chinese laborers here to compete with American labor, "for," he said, "in- TELLIGENT LABOR, USINO IMPROVED MACHINERY, EXCELS CHEAP LABOR." That is precisely the doctrine which Vance and his followers, so strongly pressed 'at Chicago in i88, but which the questionable arts of the Randall wing of the Democracy suc ceededin pervertingwhen the plat form came to be framed, j The inter lineation of a few words in the North Carolina tariff plank, which the na tional committee adopted with that far-reaching qualification, changed the whole course of history in this country,' tied Mr. Cleveland's hands for .three years, and was really the cause of all our subsequent tariff woes. " The interlineated words gave the Democratic contention away,, for they provided for "protection" of the Americarj laborer against .foreign pauper" labor. In vain the Vance and Morrison wing pointed out that high-priced labor needed no protec tion, because it was more efficient and conseciuentlv cheaper than "cheap" labor. The stultifying in terlineation secured insertion in the platform, and since then the Democ racy has- not, as a whole, found out'where it was at" on the tariff question. It is to be hoped that Mr. Tomp kins's clarifying statement may be taken to heart by all the political heirs of the Randall theory who may still train with the Democratic party THE RAILWAY RATE BILL. In his great speech on Wednesday on the railway rate bill, Mr. Rayner, the brilliant Maryland Senator, seems to have exposed the feature of the Hepburn bill which caused it to re ceive such warm support at the hands of the Republican house. Mr. Ray ner said -he- -would insist that- the bill should contain no provision for suspending the orders of the'eommis- sion PENDING REVIEW BY THE COURTS, because if the orders were suspended temp'orarily they, would be suspended finally, and. after a lapse of three years the shipper would have to try the case over a train. In the course of his remarks Mr. Rayner suggested that some railroad lawyer had been instrumental in framing some parts of the bill, and Mr. Foraker asked what lawyer he had in mind. "Not you," responded Mr. Rayner. He added the statement that the sugges tion had applied to the provision for the suspension of the findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This is intensely interesting. The reports say that Mr. lillman 1 mightily stirred up on Rayner' s side while Foraker and Lodge lost their temper in opposition to the Marylander's contention. It looks now as if we were going to get at the bottom of this business. LIGHT 9REAKING ON THE RAILWAY RATE QUESTION. We remarked yesterday that it was beginning to look now as if we should get to the bottom of this rail way rate business meaning all the hazy features connected with the pas sage "by the House of the Hepburn bill, the "mix-up" in the Senate, and the curious antics of those who gin gerly handle the terrifying subject That was because Mr. Rayner had broueht his searching and, we doubt not, his honest mind to bear upon it, and because he had first brought to view the fatal weakness of the Hep burn bill a vital defect which is suf ficient to explain the almost unani mous approval which the Republicans of the House gave it, to say nothing of those "Democrats" .who have Repub lican, or Palmer and Buckner, prin ciples. Mr. Rayner's disclosure re lated to the provision in the Hepburn bill which permitted suspension of the Commission's ruling by a court of "competent jurisdiction," and the consequent tying up of a shipper's complaint for three years. As nine- tenths of the Federal judges of the "inferior courts" (those authorized by act of Congress under the Con stitution, as distinguished from the one ordained by the Constitution itself, viz: the Supreme Court) as nine-tenths of these judges have been declared to be the creatures of. the- railroads, it is easy to see how read ily, not, to say eagerly, they would come to be arbiters of the questions appealed to them from the Commis sion by the railroads. We may remark here that if one will turn to Article III of the Con stitution, he will find Paragraph a, of Section a, to be as follows : "In all Cases affecting Ambassa dors, other public Ministers and Con suls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court . shall haVeorlglnatJurisdlctlon.In' all other Cases' before' mentioned, that is, all cases arising under the Con stitution, the laws of the United States, &c, &c, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with, such Ex ceptions, and under such Regula tions as the Congress shall make: Unless, therefore; a provision shall be added to the Hepburn bill con fining "original Jurisdiction" in ap peals by th railroads from the Com mission's ruling to the supreme Court, the - railroad-made : judges of - the . inferiorv 1 courts would be the "courts of competent jurisdic tion" , to which the .appeal would first lie and they could tie up the suspended ruling long enough to wear out any ordinary shipper. 1 J. Yesterday's telegrams describing Mr.. Tillman's personal report on the unamended Hepburn bill as it cpme from his committee; contains the fol lowing: ' '" - - v.t"' BILL TOO LOOSELY WORDED, The bill as it comes from the house Mr. Tillman characterized as loosely worded and capable of different inter- Mr.. TUIruari polalea olit lliat H IB generally supposed thaMhe pending measure embodies the "well digested views of the executive and those;'; of bis party whose advice be consents to take.". . -r r -'-" After enumerating the essential changes from the existing laws regu lating interstate commerce, he stated that the most important is found in section 15, in which povtr is sought to be vested in the interstate com merce commission "after full hearing upon a complaint made to detemine and prescribe what will , in its judg ment be the just and reasonable and fairly remunerative rate to te there after observed in such case as the maximum to be charged," and to make an order that the same shall go into effect and remain in force for three years, which order shall "go into effect thirty days after notice to the carrier and shall remain in force and be observed by the carrier, un less the same shall be suspended or modified or set aside bv the commis sion, 0 be suspended or set aside by a court of competent authority Concerning this section Mr. Tillman said WHERE DIVERGENCE BEGINS. 'Around the first provision the most earnest and exciting contention has arisen and there is great difference of opinion as to the scope of this clause and the executive powers of the commission undexit .Qntbe.one. hand, it is claimed most positively that congress cannot delegate its pow er to the commission and thus author ize it to fix a rate, while on the other hand it is asserted with equal earnest ness and force that this power is in disputable. Whatever may be the results of this discussion in the senate if the bill becomes a law the final de termination of the question at issue must be made by the supreme court. There is, he said, even greater solici tude upon the question of judicial re view. Mr. Tillman added that at the same time the people are demanding relief for producers and shippers. He de clared that it is the duty of congress to hold an even balance between these conflicting and contending interests. Mr. Tillman inclined to the view and said he had not the slightest doubt that it is possible to properly amend the bill so as to prohibit the circuit courts from interfering with the orders of the interstate commerce commission by any interlocutory order. SEsJATE MUST FIX OWN ATTITUDE "The senate must determine by its vote what shall be its attitude upon the questions of court review and in terlocutory suspensions. The whole Question at issue as to giving relief to the producing interests of the country revolves around this feature of the bill. It any decision 01 tne su preme court shall declare that con gress is powerless to grant speedy relief through a commission, it needs no prophet to tell that an outburst ol surprise and indignation will sweep over tne country. Summing up the situation he said: "It is impossible to deny that this great accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few is such a menace to liberty that the honest patriot stands appalled by the outlook." After commenting at length upon what he declared to be the existing system of juggling with railroad prop erties "for the robbery ol tne masses, Mr. Tillman said : A dangerous provision. 'There is a dangerous provision in this bill which, in my judgment ought to be stricken out, and that is in section 15, .where the interstate commerce commission is told 'to de termine and prescribe what will, in its judgment, be the just and reason able and fairly remunerative rate, etc. The last words are too elastic and ambiguous and can be construed to mean too much that it would be harmful and dangerous for ' congress to enact into a law. 'Fairly remu nerative rate' on what; the actual value or the fictitious value of the properties?" Mr. Tillman declared tnere can dc no -iustice in compelling the people as a whole to pav dividends on watered stock primarily to increase tne lor- tunes of men already too rich. "Whatever else congress does or fails to do," he added, "the producers of the country should be relieved from such danger of being compelled to make good the values of overcapi talized railroads as lurks in this inno cent looking and plausible provision about 'fairlv remunerative rates.' " Mr. Tillman recommended that the amendments to the bill be adopted which would trive relief to "theanom alous and outrageous conditions of affairs disclosed as existing in West Virginia." Continuing he said: "Vest ed with the right of eminent domain to construct their lines and granted liberal iranchiseaand . charters, the railroads, designed to be public car riers for the benefit of the whole peo ple, in the last few years have become rapidly transformed into the veriest band of robbers highwaymen who do hot thrust their pistols in the faces of their victims and demand money or their lives, but who levy tribute in freight rates which are as high as the traffic will bear, deny access to mar ket, monopolize with brazen effrontery one of the prime necessaries of lite coal and in every "way show their absolute contempt for the people and the people's rights." ;T: . . A WORD OI WARNING. , Mi1. Tillman concluded with "a word of caution to the friends of the proposed legislation.". He said : "Our full expectations may not be realized at the present session of con gress. ' Thev opponents of effective legislation are alert, have bad large experience, and are thoroughly or ganized. "The demand of the people for re lief from the oppressions and wrongs they now endure may be thwarted by the great influence of the railroad Corporations. This influence has hith erto been paramount, and its repre sentatives in the two houses may feel it is safe to refuse to redress the griev ances and continue the policy of non interference. ; They may ignore pop ular clamor and either pass no bill at all or enact one that will prove wholly inadequate. They may palter with Us in a double sense;" 'keep the word of promise to the ear, and break it to the hope.' . "Such action on their part, will, in my judgment, be very unwise, and will ewy ..dam up the water. The I'tocm 'mm 11 Vm mnila cVia ra ra turn I nf one in the next election, and those who are responsible for delay or in adequate legislation will find that when at last the flood gates of popu lar wrath and indignation are hoisted rthere will be some fine grinding done;" 1 Of like import to Mr. Tillman's concluding words, were those of Mr. Rayner, who concluded his great speech the day before with these por tentous warnings : POLITICAL REVOLT MAY COME. "Announcing tljatfiTiTSnterests are identified with the railroaifsVMri Ray ner advised the railroad managers to accept the pending legislation lest the people take the question in their own hands, organize a political party that will be irresistible and will in the end enact far more stringent provisions. To the railroad officials, he said : 'If you fail to take some such advice as this, then I believe you will rue the day. I have no fear that the hour will ever come when ignorance and anarchy vill prevail in this country that thought does not disturb me What I tear is an economic uprising pf the intelligent and substantial property interests.. af ..tkecountry against monopoly and unlawful com binations of centralized wealth. Avoid this strife ! Anarchy and socialism can be regulated by laws and put down by force. Intelligence, that is spreading upon the wings of light ning, can never be cowered and de feated." THE MORO MASSACRE. We append the associated press s account, dated Washington, March 14, of the latest' phase of the Moro massacre infamy. Leaving aside, for argument's sake, all question of the alleged "necessity" for killing wo men and children in "battle," the point which concerns the American people is the complete demonstra tion, afforded by this humiliating in cident, of the crime wnicn we com mitted when we deserted our repub lican principles and undertook to hold a distant and alien race in sub- lection. Again, in passing, let us not forget that this infamous episode is another of the evils which the fusion of the Democratic deserters and the Republicans in 1896 and 1900 have caused us to commit. Says the Associated Press : A cablegram from General Wood re garding criticisms of the recent battle of Mount Dajo on the Island ol Jolo, together with correspondence between the President and becretary lait on the subject were made public today General Wood's cablegram was in an swer to one sent to him at the direc tion of Secretary Taft, who called at tention to the criticism of "wanton slaughter of Moros," and requested him to send all the particulars General Wood's reply denies that there was any wanton killing and savs that a considerable number of women and children were killed in the battle, but they were actually in the works when assaulted, that Moro women wore trousers and that chil dren were used as shields. The re ply wtis sent by Secretary Taft to the President with a note in which tue secretary says that General Wood's answer seems to him to show most clearly that the unfortunate loss of life was wholly unavoidable, to which the President replied that General Wood s answer, "is, ol course, en tirely satisfactory." general wood's despatch. General Wood's despatch and the President's reply to Secretary Taft's letter follow: "The Military Secretary, Washing ton, D. C: "In answer to Secretary of War's request for information on March 12, I was present throughout practically the entire action and inspected the top of the crater after action -was fin ished. Am convinced noman, woman, or child was wantonly killed. A con siderable number of women and chil dren were killed in the fight number unknown, for the reason that they were actually in the works when as saulted, and were unavoidably killed in the fierce hand to hand fighting which took place in' the narrow in closed spaces. "Moro women Wore trousers and were dressed, armed, much like the men, and charged with them. The children were in many cases used by the men as shields while charging troops. These incidents are muck to be regretted, but it must be under stood that the Moros, one and all, were fighting, not only as enemies, but religious fanatics; believing para dise to be their immediate reward if killed in action with Christians. They apparently desired that none be saved. Some of our nien, one a hospital steward, were cut up while giving assistance to wounded Moros, and by those feigning death for the purpose of retting this vengeance. , I person ally ordered assistance given wound ed Moros and that food and water should be sent them and medical at tendance. In addition friendly Moros were at once directed to proceed to mountain for this. purpose. I do not believe that in this or any other fight any American soldier wantpnly killed a Moro woman or child,' or that he ever did except unavoidably in close action. ' . ' "Action was most desperate and it Was impossible for men, fighting literally for their lives in close quar ters, to distinguish who would be in jured by fire, In all actions against Mo'ros, we have begged Mpros tgaia and again to fight ns men and keep women and children out of it, I as sume entire responsibility for action of the troops in every particular and if any evidence develops in any way bearing out the charge, will act at once, 1 "Very truly yours, "Leonard H. Wood." THE REPLY OK THE PRESIDENT. The President's reply follows : V White House, Washington, D. C, March 14, 1906: 'My dear Mr. Secretary: I have re ceived your letter of March 13th, -with accompaniflg cable of General Wood answering your rntiry as to the al leged wanton slaughter of Moras. This answer, is of course, entirely satisfactory. The officers and en listed men under General Wood's command have performed a most gallant and soldierly feat in a way that confers added credit to the Amer ican army. They are entitled to the heartiest admiration and praise of all their fellow citizens who are glad to see the honor of the flag upheld by the courage of the men wearing the American uniforn. "Sincerely yours, "Theodore Roosevelt." Hon. Wm. Taft, Secretary,, of War. APPEAL FOR TIDINGS OF A LOST BOY Dr. Byers, editor of the New Har mony (Indiana) Times, requests us to publish the following which we do with pleasure : An Editor's Appeal to Brother Publish ers In Behalf ol the Lost Child ol Dr. Byers ol Seeleyvllle, Ind. If the editor of every paper in the central west will republish these lints there is no question but what Dr. S L. Byers of Seelevville, Ind., will re cover his little son who was stolen from his home one year ago last May. Dr. Byers has spent his entire re sources in seach for his child, and un less the big-hearted members of the press come to his assistance, his son will grow up an outlaw and an outcast among the lowest people of the earth. It is a cause that shquld appeal to evervone and no father read ing these lines can do so without a quickening of the heart and a sympa thetic throb. It is believed that if this article is re-printed in the news papers it will form an endless chain that will uncover the lost boy's con cealment and return him to his dis tracted parents. In doing this the profession of journalism will be ful filling one of its highest destinies. Publishers whose circulations touch the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi valleys are especially requested to re produce this story of the lost child, as Dr.' Byers believes his boy is now'on some houseboat waiting to take the road in tkje spring. There is a reward of Ssoo, awaiting any information that will lead to the boy's recovery No questions will be asked, and if the abductor himself would deliver the boy to his parents he would not be molested. The bereaved parents are heartbroken with gkf and want only their child. If each journal will re print these lines, they will travel to every' exchange table in the United States and bring back to a wretched home a child who is now no doubt suffering with cold, unfed and wretch ed to a degree. Think ol what you own feelings would be under simila circumstances' lhis appeal is in dicted originally by a publisher who saw Dr. Bvers onlv once, has no per sonal interest in his quest other than the bond of sympathy that makes the world akin, and is inspired from the belief that the lost boy can only be found through the united ef fort of the country press, of which he is proiui to be a member. His rccov ery willjje a triumph in advertising and no editor whose heart is place right will refuse this appeal. Renieni ber, it may be vour child next ! The following is a description of the lost boy : description. Richmond Byers, if alive, was years old last July, is of light com plexion, has gray eyes, lelt eye notic lbly crossed, has a small shap nick in the edae of the left tar, has sharp chin and a narrow, projecting forehead. He is rather small for hi age and is unusually bright and in telligent, talking alter the manner o a bov much older. Dr. Byers has searched among th roving bands that frequent the United States and believes that his son can be found among traveling junk deal ers, so-called horse traders or movers He does not think the boy was stolen by genuine gipsies. He thinks was taken by a wandering band that used him for the purpose of begging in the towns along the route. (Exchanges please copy.)

This lofty structure, though it will be situated nearly 20 miles . from the sea coast, may be seen by captains' of the coast steamers piying the Atlantic. Ten thousand or more incandescent lights will be attached to the tower and a mammoth searchlight placed at its apex will bathe the tower for miles around with bright light. It will require no less than six re lays of elevators to reach the top, These various "lifts" as they are called England, will -terminate , at plat forms-or stories, where it will be nec essary to change cars. The cable required for each series of elevators will be not less than 250 feet long, or qual to the length required for a fair- sized skyscraper, - The company planning this gigan tic enterprise have also under contem- platioira scheme of amusements to be located on the several different floors, and they purpose making the tower a veritable exposition in itself. When it is realized that to-dy, seventeen years after the Eiffel masterpiece of engineering was- reared, it is still a profitable investment, it will be 1111 agined what interest will be created by this loftier structure. A small pamphlet issued bv the Ex position Company shows that within ten miles of the Exposition grounds there are two hundred thousand peo ple".
