Harriman's Harangue.
Mr E. IL Harriman, admiringly de-t-r.bed by the interviewers as the ‘■Railway Olympian.” paused in a rapid journey homeward across the American continent to discourse on the economical and political tendencies of his country. The great millionaire, whom Mr Roosevelt once denounced as an "umheairat’e . itize*.” declared roundlv that
the course of events bad vindicated him and proved that Mr Roosevelt was grossly wrong in hi* attacks on th* railway interests. After denouncing the Roosevelt Administration as criminally extravagant, Mr Harriman delivered himself of the following political aphorisms:— “Regulate the Government; it *eeds regulation far more than do the railways. “Prevent the recurrence of an Anarchistic Attorney-General. "Don’t elect a demagogic House of Representatives. “See to it that the Senate is not filled with a lot of inebriates.” Mr Harriman declared himself on the tariff question to be a “flexible Protectionist.” 4 4 4
