HOW DAGGETT GOT THE FLOOR

The Stockton Mail says that the
"speech'' which Congressman Daggett
is credited with delivering against rail-
road extortion, etc, and which he has
been sending all over the country, for
notices Of the press, was never delivered
at all. 1t that true, or is it libelous
falsehood ?-Slcer State.
The above is true. Speaker Randall
never at any time recognized Congress
" We have it from the authority of a gen
tleman who spent some time in Wash
ington that Randall's snub of Daggett
was deliberate and systematic. When
ever Daggett would rise some Demo-
cratic member would jump up and he
would be Immediately recognize. T..u
Nevada Congressman made svUres Of
attempts to get ahearing, but Was never
able to do so, and SIS our informant eX-
pressed it, s:To see Dag. grit his teeth |
and swear to himself was caution" |
When Daggett attempted to deliver |
his railroad speech he was Of course |
paid no attention to. The fact of the |
matter was that Randall, who was
leagued with the monopolies, was afraid |
that the railroad speech was coming
and blocked it every time. Finally
Daggett got his blood up and prepared
an array Of facts and figures for the Con-
~ ,t1I
pamphlet form and distributed broad
cast over the American Union. The
papers reprinted good deal Of it, and
now in spite Of Randall the echoes of
Daggett's thunder still reverbrates. A
Congressman of the United States may
be muzzled on the floor OF the House,
but nobody can stop the fly wheel Of the
printing press.
THE CHARGE OF CRUELTY WELL
FoUNDED.-The Times-Rerie,c has the
following: off the item from the Vir-
ginia Chronicle relative to the f0gging
of little boy at the Orphans Home is
true, the Superintendent and teacher
schould be taken in hand by the Com
missioners of the institution without
delay and a thorough investigation had. ,
The Carson APPEAL publishes Superin-
tendent Mills version of the affair,
which, although differing materially
from the boys story, by no means re-
moves the impression that the charge !
of cruelty is we'll founded. We can c
imagine no offense that could be COM 9
mitted by boy nine years of age which
would Justify such a beating as the
marks on his body indicate was admin
istered to Freddy Gray. Orphans at an
asylum should be treated with less
severity, if anything, than children o
living at their homes with their par
ants, for kindness and fOrbearance are R
the only means by which they can be G
made to feel less keenly the loss of their
natural protectors. We hope that an
investigation will be had,
and if the charge of cruelty is sustained,
ct the perpetrators be dealt with in
accordance with the principles Of hui
nanity and justice"
