JT Washington. July 2nd. IMP?.
Thar* never vm a dearer oiu
of asking for bread and rsoeiving a
(ban the bo-celled snti-trust
lendment to the tariff bill, pre-
pared by the republicana oí the
•enate ¿nance committee. It waa
not their first intention to report
«ny amendment on this subjec',
bat they became satisfied that if
they did not there waa danger
that the Pettigrew anti-trust
amendment, wbioh waa recently
tabled by a little parliamentary
joggling, might be brought to a
direot Vote and be adopted. Then
they got their heads together and
concocted the sham that will be
just about a? injurious to the trustp
as the Sherman anti trust law hah
been, and they actually expect tho
voters of the country to accept
their work a) an earnest and real
attempt to curb the power of
trusts, instead of seeing it for whit
it really ie; an attempt to ham
boozle the voters who dm't kiow
any better thin to look to the re
publicarle1 far legislation adverse
to trusts.
Senator Turpic gave the repub
lican taiiflf bill a raking fore and
aft in a speech in favor of the
amendment supported by the min-
ority of the finance committee, to
tax inheritances over $5,000, 2
per cent for the next five years.
He told the republicans that thay
had made the measure prohibitory
and that besides, no bill had ever
been presented that made so large
and unprovoked a spoliation ot
the world's commerce. He said
there was ''compound felony" in
nearly every schedule of it, and
that the bill made it almost a
penal offense to carry on tr^de
with the people of South and Cen-
tral America, while one-third of
it was a declaration of war against
France, Germany, and the contin-
ent of Europe. He added that the
rates in the bill were akin to
bribery and rapine dictated by a
*'banditti of syndicates." He
closed by referring to the silver
■question and expressing the opin-
ion that' the abandonment of
tho free coinage of silver by this
government was a step in excels
of the rightful authority of those
who had crdered it done.
SkingameB can no longer be
played with impunity upon the
credulous by unscrupulous men
engaged in the business of solicit
ing patents. Commissioner But-
terworth declares that nothing but
straightforward honorable business
methods are to be allowed in the
practice before the patent office
while he is at its head, and that
the patent sharks must go, and to
•how that he means business he
has within a short period dis-
barred eight attorneys from prac-
tice before the United States pat-
ent office ior orooked business, and
has cited John Wedderburn & Co.,
who are officially charged with
specific instances of fraud and de-
ception in their dealings with in-
ventors, to show cause why they
should not also be disbarred.
The republicans of the District
of Columbia who contributed
money and time to elect McKinley
are inclined to say cuss words
overy time they glance over the
liat of juicy diplomatic places
which have been given to resi-
dents of the distriot. With the
exception of John Hay, who is
more of a literary man than a pol-
itician and more of a club and
aooiety man than either, and
Louis A. Dent, who was the lat*
Mr. Blaine's private secretary for
a longtime, the average republi-
can had never heard of these fav-
ored individuals until thoir names
went to the senate. It is probable
that the'other five gentlemen were
credited to the District of Colutn-
• ,/V • '
,
biafor the convenience of their
oongressional backers, bat that
doesn't make it please the local
pie hunters any better.
Representative Dockery, of Mis-
souri, who has just returned from
a visit to his home, sayt: "There
is but little aotivity in the busi-
ness oiroles ot Missouri at this
time. Affairs are in somewhat of
an expectant attitnde, awaiting the
appearance of the belated "proa-
parity" promised by the republi-
can party, whioh seems to have
been aidetracked somewhere along
the line of its journey. Money is
idle and listles3, because the op-
portunity for profitable invest-
ment is uninviting. Under ex-
isting conditions Missouri would
probably double the majority she
gave Bryan. The next house, in
my opinion, will be overwhelm-
ingly democratic, and the repub-
licans will also lo-e control of the
senate.
SOMETHIMi MAY DROP.
Farmer Show Doe* Home of HI Usual Prog*
tiost tenting.
Dallas, Tex., July 3.—"Faimer"
W. A. Shaw, editor oi Texas
Farmer, said to a press represen-
tative yesterday: 'There are two
events booked for this month
which may stir up thingB consid-
erably, particularly lor the poli-
tinians.
"I refer to the annual meetings
of the State Grange and State Al-
liance. The former will meet in
Dublin on the 17th, and continue
in session until the 21st; the lat-
ter will simultaneously bj in ses-
sion in Dallas.
"Now, if these two gteat bodies
should get together, and no well
posted man would be surprised if
they should, the politicians and
the railroads will hear something
drop. The grange and the al-
liance are fully agreed as to the
existence oi political corruption
and abuses. The only difference
is as to the methods of correctiug
the evil. The membeis of the al-
liance are for the most part popu
lists, while the grange is made up
of men of all shades of poliiical
opinion.
"The farmers, regardless of pol-
itical affiliation or agricultural or-
ganization, are fully stirred up on
the freight rate question, and
there is every indication that the
two organizations will get together
on the proposition of building a
state railroad from the Indian Ter*
ritory line to the gulf. The enter-
prise has been thoroughly can-
vassed by the leaders of both or-
ganizations, and they are agreed
that a state railroad would be the
true and genuine freight rate reg-
ulator.
"The alliance farmers believe
the state should build and own the
road, while the democratic or
grange farmers are of opinion that
it is about time to apply Jim
Hogg's idea as to the investment
of the school lund in railroad
bonds and that a safe investment
for the school money would be the
first mortgage bonds of a state
railroad. The democratic farmers
are also of opinion that the state
should invest its conviot labor, at
a reasonable rate of wages, in the
construction of such a road, the
labor to be paid for in mortgage
on the earnings of the road.
"It will readily be Been that ii
the grange and the alliance get to-
gether on this propoiition, there
will be occasion for much rushing
to and fro among the aspiring poli-
ticians who wish to bo on the side
of the most voters , and fo* muoh
confusion among our railroad
friends; for if Texas should build
such a road, the states and terri-
tories north will be certain to take
up the work end extend it, and it
will be no time at all until tha
farmers will Lave a road extend-
=
,
ing from the gulf to Manitoba,
with no and of branches, taps and
lateral lines. Such a lina with
charter exemptions from legal in-
terference with its freight rates,
would very speedily solve all the
railroad problems now perplexing
Texss and ths people to the north
of us."
Farmer 9haw says Barnett
Gibba, Judge John M. Duncan and
Colonel.Thomas M. Campbell are
engineering the state railway pro-
ject. Governor Gibbs saya ths
plana for the acheme have been
formulated but not perfected. Both
be and Farmer Shaw are #enthu(ii>
aetic advocates of the movement.
♦•Pant "
A hoy in the Wichita schools,
California, was suspended for
reading the fallowing essay on
"pants:''
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pan's. Womeu are made
for men, and not pants. When a
man pants for a woman and a
woman pants for a man, they are
a pair of pants. Suoh pants don't
last. Pant* are like molasses —
they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold. The man
in the moon changes his pants
during an eclipse. Don't go to
the pantry for panta—you may be
mistaken. Men are often mis-
taken in pants. Such mistakes
makes breaches of promise. There
has been much discussion as to
whether ''pants" is singular or
plural. Seems to us when men
jvear pants they are plural, and
when they don't wear aay they
are singular. Men get on a tear
in their pants, and it is all right;
but when the pants get on a tear,
it is all wrong.
Representative Champ Clark, of
Missouri, who has just returned
from hia speech-making at Roan-
oke College, waB very much struck
with the interest which Bryan
created in Virginia.
"The great, overshadowing, ir-
resistible thing in American poli-
tics today," he said, "is the tre-
mendous personal popularity of
William J. Bryan. I found thiB
to be the ciee not only in Mis-
souri, but in Virginia. Shortly
after the election a smart republi-
can edi'or, in an effort to beliitle
Bryan and the cause for which he
stands, said: 'In six months
Bryan will he so completely for-
gotten that he will have to fall out
of a window ot the third story or
have himself bitten by a dog to
gft his name into the newspapers.'
Vet, contrary to that prediction
and the hope which produced it,
Bryan's name leads all the rest—
including McKinley's — when it
comes to a question of popularity.
The people have a personal aflao-
tion for bim such as they had for
Jeflerson, Clay, Jackson, Lincoln
and Blaine.
THE BEST.
