PRESENTED AT LAST.
Three Reports on 0hio's Ballot Box
Case Made to Congress.
FORAKER EXONERATED BY MASON.
The Rest of the Committee, However, Con-
'Ndemn Him and Halstead
In THE MOST UNMEAsURED TERMS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The report of
the House Ballot Box Committee, which
last session made an extensive investigation
with alleged subscriptions by members of
Congress of stock in patent ballot box, was
to-day presented to the House by Mr..
Mason, of Illinois, the Chairman OF the in
vestigating committee. The main report,
which is signed by al, the members of the
committee, says:
SIN response to the first inquiry directed
by the resolution, VS.: by whom said al
legged contract was prepared, and whether
the several signatures appended thereto are
forged or genuine, we find that said al
legged contract was dictated (prepared) by
Richard G. Wood, and that all the sigma
lures thereto are forged.
'In response to the second inquiry di-
rected by the resolution, viz, If forged,
what person or persons. if any, were directly
or indirectly aiding, abetting, assisting, or
knowingly consenting to the preparation
and uttering of said forgery, and for what
purpose?" we find that Richard G. Wood,
Frank and L. Milward, and Frank S.
Davis were the only persons directly or in
directly aiding, abetting, assisting, or know
ingly consenting to the preparation of said
forgery with knowledge of its character.
Foraker and Halstead's Conn ection.
Milward and Davis were without evil in
tent in the part they took in the transaction
and had no other purpose than to accommo-
date R. G. Wood. and at Woods request;
and said Wood uttered said forgery for the
purpose of procuring Governor Foraker s
recommendation of himself to the Mayor of
Cincinnati, O.. for appointment to an Office
of that city designated in the evidence as
Smoke Inspector"
We further find thatJ. B. Foraker and Murat
Halstead aided in uttering said forgery. Mr..
Foraker BY exhibiting the paper to several per-
sons and thereafter delivering it to Mr.. Hal.
stead, and Mr. Halstead aided in urtering said
forgery by publishing the forged paper on Oc-
tober 4, 1889, In the Commercial Gdzette; but
we lind that neither of said parties, Foraker
and Halstead. in uttering said paper, knew the
same was forgery.
In response to the third inquiry directed by
the resolution, Wis.,, whether any of the mem
bers whose names appeared on said alleged
contract had or have, either directly or indi-
rectly. any unlawful. corrupt or improper con-
nection with. or interest in, the ballot boxes
that were the subject matter of said alleged
contract we find that no one person whose
name appears on said alleged contract had or
has, either directly or indirectly. any unlawful,
corrupt or improper. or any sother connection
with, or interest in, the ballot boxes which are
said to be the subject of said alleged contract;
and that there never was any other contract
relating to said ballot boxes in which either of
these persons. alone or Jointly with others, was
in any way interested.

The same idea of worship according to
the dictates Of ones own conscience which
led our forefathers to found
government which would guarantee that
privilege and right, taught them
also freedom Of trade-the right Of buy
ing and selling where they could buy
and sell to the best advantage. Adam
smith the founder Of the science Of
political economy, came then to show
that such theory was right In itself as
IL was profitable and wholesome In prac-
tlce. It is, as he demonstrated with in
conference.-the logic more than cent
ury ago, as necessary and profit
able that commerce should be
free as that religion should
be free. Philosophy and logic teach that,
and experience has proved it here and in
England. Trade that is not free is as
abnormal as religion that is compul-
sorry. It is no more reasonable to teach
and compel men to trade at some ports
and to prevent them from trading at
other ports than to compel them TO wor.

REED ON RECIPROCITY.

II occasion or party necessity requires
Il Thomas B. Reed. late Speaker Of the
House, can easily reverse his opinions,
change his sentiments and deliver
speeches directly contrary TO speeches
delivered before. He has exhibited that
ability to a marked and unblushing
degree. He has shown by his speeches
on the rights Of the minority, one deliv-
cred In 1884 and several shorter ones In
1890, that a minority has parliamentary
rights which the majority is bound to
respect and that the minority has no
rights whatever.
It requires peculiar tastes, unique, am
bilious, and contempt for several
things, which honest and honorable men
usually hold dear, to bo able
to be publicly, and hgrantly
inconsistent in matters Of principle,
but Mr.. Reed OF Maine seems
to possess those qualities, and to bring
them into play for the defence Of his
party as 8 shrewd but not scrupulous
lawyer defends a horse thief. Bearing
these little peculiarities in mind there
must not be much stress laid on Mr..
Reeds structures on the reciprocity
scheme for he may talk the other way
after the Republican vote-catching plat
form is promulgated. But here is what
he said
AS to reciprocity. that Is an attempt to
carry on commerce by diplomacy Two

equally prepcsteroua to suppose that our
neighbors will keep up discrimination
against other nations 10 our behalf.
The above has intrinsic merit and is
worth something as showing what Mr.
Reed thought when not making pleas oil
apologies for the good Of the party.
