HOAR'S HOMILIES.
He Charges the Democracy With
All the Crimes, Political and
Otherwise, in the Calendar.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The features
in the senate to-day were a discussion
on trusts and a political debate on
Southern Outrages. Mr.. George offered
all amendment to the Sherman
bill prohibiting trusts, the most
important point of which was making
it the duty of the president, in his dis
erection, to issue proclamation sus-
pending the import duties on articles
raised in price in consequence of COM
binatiOns. Mr.. HOar said he would like
to have information as to what these
trusts really were, and what relation
they bore to the great political parties.
Was the Standard Oil trust represented
in the cabinet or i'll the senate;
were the representatives of great
sugar trust consulted in the framing of
a great revenue tariff bill and were
their interests looked after and con-
Sidered? Was there an anthracite coal
trust and what was the danger from ii?
Why had the senator (Alr. George ar
ranged so carefully in his proposed
great trusts which stood, as
great many people believed
in the relation of treasurer to the Dem
ocratic party and in executive cont oil
of it? He did not think that it would
turn out to be good plan to put in the
hands of a chief executive magistrate
who
VIGOROUSLY OWED HIS ELECTION
to the aid of those interested in such
trusts. and who had representative of
them in his cabinet, the power to affect
the revenues Of tire country by his UNI
supported will. Mr.. HOar said he would
like to know if certain gentleman Qe-
ferring to Mr.. Scott had any relation to
any of these great trusts, or to transport
alton interests or coal interests. This
gentleman was Interested in $4,000 miles
eff railroad, part of them in Canada. He
did not wonder that Canadian minis
ter returned home, and said to his peO-
pie that he had been told by the Secre-
tary of state that the house of represent
tatives proposed to do exactly what Can
ada desired. Mr.. HOar said that he
wanted information on these trusts,
all of which were controlled
by the giant chieftainS, and
manipulated in the interests of the
Democratic party. And of the present
administration, represented in the cab
met and senate, and with one of its
chleftainS chairman of the Democratic
executive committee. Mr.. Reagan said
that it was his purpose to get law that
would punish both Democrats and
Republicans. Mr.. Payne said that the
Standard Oil company seemed to trouble
the mind of the senator from Massa-
chusettS all the time. He (Mr. Payne)
had never had a dollars interest in it,
had never owned dollar of its stock,
had never rendered it any service and
had never received any service from it.
But two of its stockholders, so far as he
knew, were Democrats; the rest were
Republicans. The inSinuati0n that it
had a representative in the cabinet
might be worthy of the
LOWEST CLASS OF "STUMPERS"
but was unworthy of senator. Mr..
Georges amendment was ordered to be
printed. Mr.. SpoOner offered a resolu-
ton reciting that Joseph Hoffman,
prominent Republican of Brennan,
Tex, and recently witness before
senate committee, had been shot down
in cold blood in that city, and instruct
ing the committee on privileges and
elections to investigate the circum-
tances of the killing with special
reference to whether it was due in any
sense to his testifying before the COM
ensued. The presidents message re-
lating to the fisheries and discrimina-
ton of tolls by the Canadian govern
ment was presented, read and referred.
The non-cOncurrence of the house in
certain amendments to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill was
laid before the senate, and
new conference was ordered.
Debate on Mr.. Spooner's resolution was
resumed. Mr.. Salisbury said that such
discussions were disgrace to the Sen
ate and tended to keep up the spirit of
race animOsity at the South. After fur
Their debate the resolution went over.
The house concurrent resolution for the
printing of 10000 extra copies of the re-
ports of the Pacific railroads commits
sioners was agreed to, with an amend
ment increasing the number TO $1,000.
