The idea that money runs every
thing has been prevalent SO long that
some even thought that mammon or
some OF his underlings had crept into
the Legislative halls, and supplied du-
cats to certain members for their vote
against the railroad tariff bill last ses-
sion-hence the article IN the Repub-
hcan, of this city, desiring to know
what was done with the $500 con-
tributed by the different r. II. Co.'S to
defeat the tariff bill.
This raised the virtuous indignation
Of the Honorable Senate, and they de-
manded IN investigation. A commit
tee was appointed by the President,
consisting of Faisall, Of johnson,
Burke, of Bremen, and McNutt, of
Muscatine. The appointment Of Sam.
Fairall to investigate charge of cor
ruption, they say. made the whole Of
johnson county break ont in broad
grin at the idea of a man in such po-
sition who defeated Gov. Kirkwood
for the Senate on the ground that he
(FairalD was sound anti-raiiroad
mar. He continued so until just be-
fore the fight came of, when a change
came over spirit of his dreams, and he
has ever since been tool in the hands
of the railroads. Burke Is an improve
ment on Fairall. while McNutt signi-
fed his willingness to go into inyesti-
CATION by tearing up the seats, paving
the earth anu believing in his eager
ness for the fray; declaring that il
there was Jonah on board, "let us
gulp him up" So the committee
went to investigate had the editor OF
the Republican up; he wouldn't tell
who wrote the article; they had
him before the bar of the Senate for
contempt-but the fellow still con-
tempted then they voted to release
him on parole, but he refused to b.
paroled. So the Honorable Senate
was in the position Of the man who
wanted his friends to help him catch
. bear-they refused, and he went 1t
alone, but his next cry was to his
friends to help him let go of the bear

Now it leaked out that this whole
natter was the result of the old fight :
'etween kassOn, the Republican and
