U. S. Senator A. P. Williams, of California, who has just been elected to succeed Gen. Miller, is not politi- elan but man of the people, and a true bluo Republican. He has spent thousands of dollars for the benefit of the Republican party and never would receive an office. He did not seek his present honor, being absent in the eastern states. He is, however the right man in the right place.

AN HONEST GIRL.
The UScrupulOus Character of the
Washington Lobbyists.
Kansas City Items.

Kansas City Items.
A story comes from Washington
which has two morals. A young
lady clerk in Secretary Lamar's
office was known to have copied the
decision OF the telephone case,
Before it ~ made public there
was a great anxiety among the
spectators and lobbyists to find
out the contents OF the document.
One OF these gentlemen approach
ed the lady and offered her $4,000
If sue would betray the secret.
She refused and he raised the offer
tO$1O,OOO. She made no reply, but
stepped into the next room and
informed the Secretary, who eject
ed the capitalist summarily.
The first thing which strikes the
American citizen in this story is
the holiness and unscrupulousness
OF the Washington parasites whe
live by preying upon the country's
Treasury and upon private money
when it is afflicted by public deci-
sions. They persuade, tempt,
bride, threaten, blackmail and
steal to accomplish their purpose.
They employ every art except that
of working honestly tor their living.
1t is, when the power these men
bring to bear is seen, a wonder
that officials do not more often
yield to their %cOIrupting influence.
They have their tools in office, but
they have fewer than the skeptic
would predict. 1t is unfortunate
that . line cannot DC drawn some.
where which would separate the
thieves and rascalS in Washington
IRON the men who go there for
respectable purposes. The only
way to preserve the Government
from their snares is to make the
standard OF qualification for Office
SO high that ven the lowest subOr.
mates who could be useful to them
shall all be above their reach.
The second prominent feature in
the story is the proof of feminine
oAiNuSbu VI mluu WHICH, IL OutTS. /
The story does not tell whether the
young lady is poor or not. In the
absence Of Information on that
point it is fair to presume she is
poor. One can hardly fancy a
young woman with money copying
papers for fun. Probably to her
$4,000 seemed like a dream of lux.

ise Of comfort. She may have a
lover too poor TO marry and too
honest to steal aud the ~ten thou.
sands" may have caused her heart
10 leap at the theBgbt of welded
happiness. Yet she did not hest
tate or parley. She did her duty
in a straight aud even manly fash
iou- Her example almost concludes
the argument upon female fitness
for responsible employment aud
gives the American girl q deserved
boom.
