oun 8Atur6a-s night.
He had beeu a convict. Ho had
served a year for striking n comrade
a blow with a dangerous weapon in
a drunken melee. In tho Impulse
of the moment ho had plead guilty.
Without family or friends or any
strong earthly attachments had
thrown himself upon tho court and
the court made n short case of 11.
Without monoy, friends or influence
ft man becomes a convict so easily.
Now he was out. The state had
given him a cheap suit of clothes
and a five dollar gold' piece. Ho
snuffed tho air of freedom at last.
Ills j car within tho walls of the
prison had been one long dream
shortened only by good behavior
Whero should he turn? What
should ho do? Auy where but
whence he came.
For threo days ho trod tho streets
of tho capital city. Ho was stupid
or ha might have kuown why ho
was turned from every door. Work
iiud food were refused him. His llko
was seen too often. His complexion,
his look, his clothes, his hut, his
boots ail seemed to betray htm. Ho
picked up a newspaper ouo day in
a fiont yard only to find that on the
morning he was restored to freedom
a brief sketch of hla career, his
offence, his appearance, were pub
lished. There stood his name, and
his past, and Ills appearance all
were against him, No wondor he
had beeu turned from every door.
His advertisement was too accurate.
He must tro in the country. His
money was nearly gone. Tho days
u-re cold aud rainy chilling him to
thopoue. One day ho got his din
ner In a potato Held with some
trtmps. A flro sputtered lu the
cold raiu as night come on. They
i(o hulf raw potatoes and slept in a
pile of dump straw, At overy farm
house work was refused, hospitality
was.outof the question. It was not
offered, At most places money could
uotprocuro It. On the fifth day ho
was wulkiUg on through tho rain.
The mist was thick enough to cut
with a knife. A dull numbness
took possesion of his whole being.
Hjssoul burned low in Us physical
socket. The mist closed about him.
Tbo darkness sot In thick and fast.
In tho distance glimmered a light.
Ho struggled toward it. Ho strained
to lift his clay-clogged feet and overy
step seemed his last. If ho could
only reacli that light. Ho forgot
the lll-uaugo tu Its cheering rays,
Its welcome brlgbtnois Inspired
hope and lie no more thought of tho
rpdo blows of the hard unfeeling
world.. Tho light had a halo about
it, apd In his heart It shed a halo of
Happiness anu a iragrauco or joy.
He staggered on. Oh, but to reach
It. Ho sank almost to his knees In
the mire. He would como to the
light. It was now near by. It
grow brighter each moment,
(lope revived him aud he got
forward faster. His Imagi
nation already pictured tho
cosy fireside. It carried him to
a hearth onco his own. A busy
woman prepared supper, Children
crept at bis knees. The steaming
food filled the room with cheer and
inviting odors. Oh I what rich asso
ciations filled bis mind. Ho wusa
new man. Ifo had but a few steps
mre to reach tho light, tho liaveu
of rest, home, happiness
There was a crush and lanterns
were wildly swung and brakes put
on fiercely. But It was a down
grade, The tralu could not be
topped. It passed on. Next morn
ing the section iinnds found an
upkuown man by the side of tho
track. He had no letters or address
to identify his person. Now oven
bis grave is forgotten. Aud it is
only a few weeks since.

Tho fight of the railroad com
pttules f this state against tho
Oregon law giving a commlvloii
power to fix freight rates, Is the
battle of the millionaires. They
have the letitflts of skillful leader
ship on the part of all the high
salaried railroad officials lu the
country. They havo means that
have ulnce years beeu wrung from
the producers and commercial
Intercuts of the country In the
shape of high rates on all the t radio
would U-ar. They have lu (heir
employ ccort of leading attorneys
who draw millions of dollars In
fees thai are taken nut of the pock
et of the io;hV. They have legis
later. Judges nud Juror, all more or
le bribed by fttm p-e, Juror

All tit n liinlnus
fsaiiantlcmililloiisrurrannelworK
that surround lb hIpk people
pn all sides uutll they xrt utarl
bound hand and foot by these cor
poration influences. An artificial
creation of the people has come to
get its Toot upon tho uecks of tho
people, and unless they shakn It oft
It will destroy tholr political free
dom as It has already destroyed
their commercial freedom and for
what purpose merely to further
enrich a horde of millionaires,
while tho producers are Impover
ished.
Against this combination In Ore
gon now stands a railroad commis
sion composed of three men, assisted
by tho several district attorneys and
tho attorney general or the state
Bo far tho governor and other state
officials havo either bcou ludltterent
spectators or have not felt called
upon to take sides. Judge Boise's
court has decided for the people.
But tho millionaire corporation
managers will not abldo by tho peo
ple's courts In this state. Thoy will
carry their cases to tho courts of .last,
resort. They expect relief in Judge
Deady's court. Judge Deudy and
Judge Field aro looked upon as the
bulwark of corporation Interests on
tho Paclflo coast. If these million
aires do not find proper redress In
tho federal courts or tho states thoy
will go to tho supremo court of tho
United States. That court has
passed on all tho points likely to bo
raised In tho Oregon rato cases, and
has sustained tho power of tho state
to pass such laws aud fix rates
through n commission, Tho only
oxcuso for carrying thoso cases to
Washington, If thoy do not get all
thoy want of tho federal courts on
mo coast, win do to ilolay tlio on
forcoment of tho law four or tlvo
years, what will bo tho efleet of this?
ir this tow cannot bo decided
upon heio lu tho stato and enforced
by the state, tho peoplo will havo to
pay the presont high local raits for
live years moro. This will bo a
twdnty-fivo percent tax on all tho
products of this state, and It will be
taken off ovory farmer's bushel of
wheat, on overy emigrant's house
hould goods, and on overy pound of
food cousuumed by ovorx family.
There will bo no escapo from It.
The BUgar, tea, salt groceries and
dry goods that ovory poor man uses
will have to bear Its share of the bur
den. And for what? Simply to
mako moro mllllonalrles. To farther
enrich Jay Gould, Leland Stanford,
CiUla P. Huutlngton and the baud
of s itraps who levy tribute for them
hud do their political bidding at
Portland for this whole stato.
Some tituo the poopto will realize
the size of tho battle on their hands.
8ome day the peoplo will arlso and
shako oil' tho lethargy that is now
so complete that only oho or two
neWHpapors In tho stato daro speak
their mind freoly. Tho prosperity
talkers will be overtaken by n storm
of popular opinion one of theso days
that will amount well-nigh to a
political revolution. Tlio moro suc
cessful tho present contentious of
the millionaires ngaliiBt the laws of
this state, the moro sweeping aud
drastlo will be the reform when It
takes place. Tho masses cannot be
forever robbed to enrich thefow.
