Chairman Crisp, Of the House Committee on
Elections. does not seem to care what the coun-
try thinks Of him. His treatment Of Mr..
Smalls is simply shameful. 1t is bad enough
to deny man tho seat to which he was hon.
cstIy elected. but to prevent his making an ap-
peal for justice to the House Is an exhibition
Of partisanship barren of all defence. Even on
the lowest plane Of practical politics. and prac-
tical politics can go pretty low occasionally, no
party can afford to defend such methods.

sent to his Office sn be printed. They declare
thst he changed some expressions and entirely
suppressed others. This allegation comes in
addition to their findings against him on the
evidence, in which they prone need him guilty
Of fslsehood, Of faveiitism to contractors and
suspicious relations with them. and of many
violations Of law. II the Administration pro-
poses to sustain Benedict, II is clear that 1t has

Nothing ais tho letter Of MIR. Charles IL.
Litchman. general secretary OF tho Knights OF
Labor, in which he declares for the Republican
National ticket and for protection. MIR. Litch-
man knows what free trade means to the me-
chanic and the wage-earner generally, and when
he finds himself in the presence of conflict
between q system which means something to
do and good pay for doing it and another which
means little to do and less for doing it, he
feels constrained to take hand in the fight.
The Republican party stands committed to the
restriction of immigration such as Is tainted
with political disease or designed to compete
at European prices with American labor. In
all respects it appeals to the confidence OF the
wase-earners and those of them who know
their own interests will follow MIR. Litchman's
example.

Numerous correspondents have inquired whether
the Mills bill affects in any way the present tarili
on potatoes, and have remarked upon o widely
circulated letter written by the author OF that
bill, declaring that We have not touched po-
tatocs in our bill. We leave them as they are
by existing law. The bill has been pcrsistcntly
and Intentionally misrcpresented by Republicans"
In reply It may be stated that as finally passed
by the House OF Representatives, the bill leaves
the tariff on potatoes at present AS originally
reported to the House by Mr.. Mills, it put po-
tatocs and other vegetables on the free list; and
this it did as adopted by the Committee OF the
Whole But at the eleventh hour a saving clause,
Section Al, was adopted, radically changing the ef-
feet and scope Of tho BILL and restoring the present
tariff on many articles, especially on vegetables
This action was taken on July 7. Mr. Mls's letter
denying that the potato tariff had been touched
and complaining Of Misrepresentation by Rcpub-
licaus, bears date OF July IL. In view OF these
facts, the question of misrepresentation appears
to be ono which Mr.. Mills would best leave un-
touched.
