TEE PUNISHMENT TO PERSONS 1MPII-
GATED in the Credit Mobilier operations
IL set forth in an act Of Congress Of
February, 1858, which provides that any
person offering a brlbe Of any kind, to any
member Of Congress, or any member
receiving the same. shall, on conviction,
be fined not moro than three times the
amount offered or given, and bO imprison-
ed in a penitentlary not more than three
years. And iEthe person convicted holds
Office he shall forfeit 1t and shall be dis
qualified from holding any Office of honor,
trust or profit under the United States.
This punishment Of course cannot be
inflicted by a Congressional investigating
Committee. The legal course, when the
prosecution Is to be made Is for the
Committee to remit the record Of the
evidence taken before 1t TO the United
States District Attorney for the proper
district, and it then becomes his duty to
lay the matter before a Grand Jury. This
Is not often done, however. Ifit were,
there would be less occasion for Con-

THE Philadelphia Record thinks that
the struggle in these progressive days is
between money and manhood. History
teaches US that the republics Of antiquity
were the freest when they were poor, and
that as soon as great wealth abounded
thep lost their liberties. The virtues Of
self.denial, integrity and patriotism, which
are absolutely necessary for the mainten.
ance Of republican governments, are too
feeble against the greed, luxury and am
billions which wealth engenders. Philip
said: IF he could get an ass into the city
Of Athens, he could take the city" He
meant to say that with the money the ass
could carry he could bribe the rulers

burg and elsewhere for the last few years
show that our real governors-the vast

Philip. The great majority ofevery peo.

Gus, and make haste to get rich, corporate
wealth stands by to purchase their politi.
cal power, whether at the polls or in the
halls OF legislation. The man who pur-
chases political power is at heart des-
pot. He thrusts aside free choice, whichiS
the prerogative Of liberty, and substitutes
corruption and the pollution Of the ballot
box, the instruments or despotiSm, to rule
the country. AS soon as wealth and not
the FREQ will Of the people rules the coun.
try, free government is gone, and as mon.
ey has always the power to aggrandize its
possessors, are not we in this country in
the chrysaliS state, preceding the tremend-
our struggle which Is to come between

Plnchbeck approved OF the act. Mr.
