SHOPPING THEIR TRUE C01ORs.

If there was anything necessary to show
that the Merrill bill is simply publishers
job for inaugurating a fifteen year monopoly
it is to be found in the efforts to prevent
local option i'll the matter. The friends of
the bill are urging its passage, on the
ground that they are laboring for
the people, and still they re-
gard it as fatal defect to allow the
people to decide whether they wish it's
wonderful benefits OF not If it is the good
thing which it is claimed, the people will
vote it unanimously and Merrill and Apple
ton will secure the trade. The cloven foot is
apparent in the effort to bind the people
hand and foot and compel them to buy
the books 3l0lens r01sns, while authority is
also granted to deplete the public treasury
ad kbite,7n.

THE BRIBERY GLITTER

The report of the investigating committee
appointed to ascertain the alleged attempt at
bribery, is given elsewhere, with the testi
mony in full. While it proves little in com
parison with the loud-mouthed assertions
which have been current for several days,
it places four men-C. G. Brandt. John
Geib, W. H. Mills and Liberty Hall in an
unenviable light. Brandt shines forth
as disreputable sneak, who. while
pretending honor and virtue, is destitute
OF both; man who offers to sell his honor
"consc5entiousIy," and declares that he con-
summated the trade. His own testimony
degrades him to a level below which no criti
cism can place him, and we leave him to the
contempt which he evidently courts and
richly deserves.
The action of Liberty Hall cannot prop
erly be excused OF defended. While his tes-
timony relieves him of criminal intent, it
does not justify his conduct. In fact, it
would be difficult to excuse any one for hay
ing anything to do with such a fellow as
Brandt. While without in any degree de-
Tending MI. Hall, we confess SO profound a
contempt for his tempter, as to regard his
sin with leniency.
Nh. Geib's career as stool pigeon for
Brandt is aptly told i'll his own words, and
Mr.. Millss lofty virtue appears i'll his sworn
statement that he knew of one case of at
tempted bribery, but preferred to place him
self in contempt rather than give details
which would tend to disgrace himself.
Altogether the mess is disgraceful and
unsavory one, but as the Lord is supposed,
at times, to make use of mighty mean
agencies to accomplish good, some benefit
may result even from the creature Brandt.
Il 1t mas tendency to prevent the jobbery
and trading din g in legislation, which is nothing
more nor less than direct bribery, something
will have been gained.

Not by Alteration After All

RonE, Feb. 2l,-On good authority it is
stated Pope Leo XIII. was not chosen by
alteration, but by the requisite majority Of
votes of the conclave; that Cardinal Bilio
having declined to be a candidate his narti-
sans numbering nine cardinals, gave their
votes to Cardinal Pecci; that when the votes
were counted all the cardinals knelt at tha
feet OF the Pope and this act has been mis-
construed as an election by alteration.

WHAT has become of Brandt conscience?
When he swung high his fifty dollar bill in
sold himself to vote for an amendment TO
the Text Book bill, and his conscience COM
PEELED him to carry out the trade. He testi-
fed that when seeking the bride, he said he
could conscientiously vote for an amend
amendment yesterday. Has he received
fifty dollar bill from the other side waich he
has concluded not to send to the Speaker?

adding: Whenever the words State school text

this act is supplementary, they shall be con-
strued to mean and apply to school funds aris-
ing from taxation.
Mr.. Hicks said if this amendment were al
lowed, he would certainly vote for the bill on
its final passage.
long and exciting SO uabble ensued, motions
and various suggestions following each other in
rapid succession. Several attempts were made
but failed to agree upon some compromise
when an effort was made to force a vote by
means of the previous questions. The Speaker
Mr.. Morse, having recognized the sonorous voice
of Mr.. Hicks. who had risen with another
amendment, and had addressed the chair, and
first attracted attention. the demand for the
previous question could not be put. and
the determination of the opponents of
the bill to contest desperately every inch
of ground becoming every moment more OBJ
servable, all hope of forcing vote was fore
gone. Accordingly Mr.. West moved that the
bill be again made the special order for 2 30
