The st. Louis Common Council Charged With

ST. LOUIS. July 6.-The charges of
fraud and unlawful legislation against the
municipal house of delegates are becom-
ing numerous. The charge that twelve
of the members of the house were ineligi-
BILE to office when elected has been par
italy substantiated. That the knowledge
of this fact by persons interested in rail
road legislation has been used by them to
influence the members has been
proven, and to-day charges of open
bribery are made. The Republican
this morning states that person who
speaks where of he knows, will testify
before the grand jury that the passage of
the Forest Park d Carondolet Street rail
way bill was effected by most open use
of money. He will testify, the paper
Gays. rs follows:
Il know that money was used to pro-
cure the passage of this bill, so far at
least as the statement of many who paid
money can go to prove the assertion. |
have heard that one of the members
of the house was talking about
having paid money to the railroad com
mittee for reporting the bill. Ed. Sutter,
Il member of the house. came into nv
office one day, and after some casual con
versation, requested or rather intimated
to me that it would be friendly act to
get this delegate to quit talking, and as
he put 1t, to keep his mouth shut. l was
a gentleman. and after very few pre-
liminaries he told me he had paid 100000
to the railroad committee of the
house of delegates to report the
Forest Park and Carondlet railroad bill
and he did not care who knew it for the
persons who had taken this money had
gone back on him. On another occasion
subsequently he described to me in detail
the transaction. l did not ask him from
what source this money came because
had no doubt of it in my mind" 1t is
stated that one thousand dollars in cash
and $4,000 worth of stock wa. given to a
member to influence him to vote against
the Electric railway bill, and that the
| privilege of naming the stations along
the route of that road was promised to
another for the same purpose.

A Scientists School Of Statesmanship.
Eeg York World

Sir John Lubbock has studied states
nanship in the school of the ant. He is
famous for mis- researches among the ant
hills of the United Kingdom. He has
seen how the red species of those indus
trious and powerful little insects preys
upon the weaker and deprives il of the
right of Home-rule- He has never wit
messed an instance in which in the anti
philosophy it was not held that night
never makes right. The ant-hill politi-
clan carries these ideas into British Par
Lament. and they evidently lie at the
foundation of his views IN regard to the
proper treatment for Ireland. But be-
tween potato bugs and insects Sir John
makes a poor showing for British
statesman and law-giver.
