NO BRIBERY IN THE SOUTH.
Senator Coke Says They Have No Money
to Buy Votes With.

Senator Coke Says They Have No Money
to Buy Votes With.
WASHINGTON, February 1S.-The Sem
ate to-day resumed consideration of the
'Texas outrages" resolution, and Mr.. Coke
began his fourth days argument against it.
He declared that he had no excuse or palli-
alton or justification for the raiding of
ballot boxes in Washington county, but he
did not condemn it more strongly, or regret
it more sincerely, than did the people of
that county. There were similar transac-
tions all over the United States. He did not
say that ballot boxes were raided in every
section; but he did say that bribery, bald
and unblushing, did prevail in every sec
ton of the country-except in the South,
where they did not have any money to buy
votes with. And yet he heard of no Con-
gressional investigation into. bribery in the
last election.
Seventy indictments (he was told) had
been found in Indiana for bribery-nine-
tenths of those indicted being Republicans,
but no Senator had risen and asked for an
investigation there. Who, he asked, would
charge the good people of Indiana on that
account? Who would charge the good peo-
pie of the great State of New York, where
mLlllOns were pdlu OUT III urlpeS IN tne lasC
Presidential election? Who would charge
the good people of Rhode Island, where cur
rent newspaper report said that bribery pre-
vailed to great extent in the last election?
Who would charge the people of any of
those States with completely in those crimes?
And why should the people of Texas. and of
the whole South, be held responsible for
single abuse in one single county?
There were no white Caps" in Texas.
There was no case of bribery reported from
the South. In the South there was more
muscle than money, and there was no
bribery there; while in the North there was
more money than muscle, and there was no
violence there. 1t was force in the South;
it was fraud and bribery in the North. But
bribery was exceptional in the North, and
force was exceptional in the South. OF the
two crimes, bribery was the most dangerous
and the most difficult to provide against.

A REFRACTORY WITNESS.
Clerk Fister Positively Refuses to Testify
When Called Upon.

CLERK Elster HOsltiVeIy be1uses TO Test11y
When Called Upon.
WASHINGTON, February 1S.-A full
meeting of the Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds was held to-day to
consider the case of the witness, Thomas
Fister, Chief Clerk of the Supervising Ar
chitect's Office of the Treasury Department,
who last week refused to answer certain
questions regarding the collection or receipt
of political contributions from employees in
the Office, when asked by the subcommittee.
The subcommittee decided 10 recommend
to the full committee that the witness be re-
qu1red to answer the questions, and upon
his refusal, that he be brought before the
Senate for contempt of the committee.
AT the meeting to-day the witness was
given another opportunity to answer the
questions, but he again refused. The COM
mittee thereupon went into secret session,
but just what has been determined upon has
not yet developed. 1t is reported that the
matter will probably be settled in the SEN
ate soon, and it is the impression that Fis-
ter will be arrested and brought before the
bar of the Senate for contempt

Grand Lodge K. ot r.


 Our news gatherer while floating
 around the city in quest of materi'
 al to enighten the readers of the
 CHAMPION, as to what is going on in their midst, noticed in the
 various business houses, tickets for
 sale for the Ball and supper to be
 given by the Knights of Pythias of
 our city on May 24th. This fact
 naturally instigated the question by
 your reporter as to what the occa'
 sion was. The occasion referred to is
 meeting of the Grand Lodge of
 the Knights of Pythias of Arizona,
 Flagstaff being chosen by them at their last convention (May lSSS) as
 their place to convene this year and
 Flagstaff Lodge No. s, will be their entertainers. Our readers are fa-
 miliar with the majority of the members of Flagstaff Lodge and know how they can entertain when they set out to and we are assured that this will be an occasion long to be remembered by all who participate therein. Every effort is being put forth by the committee who have the matter in charge, to make grand success by having an entertainment for the guests to, and residents of Flagstah, that they can say with all candor its equal is yet to be held in Arizona. There are no personal invitations issued, simply one grand general invitation extended to all through our news papers, therefore everybody can at tend and with little individual effort toward mirth combined with the great effort to be put forth by the Lodge if all do not have a good time, we say they will themselves be to blame. "An excellent Bill of Fare will be the chief feature of the evening, and superior music will be dispensed by one of our Military Bands.
 The monotony of scenery will be broken by profuse decoration of California and Arizona flowers and evergreens. The Arizona Wood Company's Hall will be the scene of action (dancing). Everybody who has had the pleasure of waltzing to good music on the floor of this hall knows better than the writer how enjoyable it is. The sttge in the hall will be removed and when every thing is placed in its proper position the hall will accommodate 2S sets without over crowding. The floor will be in charge of a commit tee who will see to the comfort of all The reception committee will wait on all guests, and see that they are properly and comfortably pro- vided for during their visit here. So with this prospect ahead there is an oasis in our lives if we take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy ourselves

 Several years ago Chamberlain & O., of Des Moines, Iowa, com menced the manufacture of a cough remedy, believing it to be the most prompt and reliable prepara- tion yet produced for coughs, colds and croup, that the public appre- ciate true merit, and in time it was certain to become popular. Their most sanguine hopes have been more than realized. Over three hundred thousand bottles of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy are now sold each year, and it is recognized as 'the best made" wherever it is known. It will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treat ment. For sale by D. J. Brannen & Go
