Two may reasonably expect that the

But Rdum's report should remind
the House Of something else.
This House was elected among
other things to cut down expenses by
ferreting out fraud. There is a we'll
founded belief throughout the coun-
try that the Pension Bureau is the
seat and source OF more fraud than
any other distributing Office.
Grave charges were brought last
year against the head Of that bureau,
charges which, il true, render his re-
moval and the overhauling Of his OF
hce records a necessary first step
towards the protection Of the Treas
ury against fraud.
Those charges we're in effect sup
pressed by packed, partisan investi-
eating committee, whose report was
SO shameless travesty that even Mr..
Reeds Congress could not DO dra-
gooned into confirming it.
The honest Investigation of those
charges ia one of the most imperative
duties laid upon this Congress, and
should have been one of the earliest
undertaken.
Two months Of the Session have
nearly passed. Nothing has been
done in this direction. The country
would like to know why.-[New York

AT Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at Wash

containing alum and ammonia to be
30 labeled. Thip is step in the right
direction, and has been long fore
Swallowed by the action of State
Legislatures, boards Of health, food
commissioners, etc, i'll this matter.
The bill affords needed protection to
the public, for the evidence as to the
injurious etfeots Of alum and am-
. monia is very heavy; but 1t will never
theless DO fought bitterly by the
manufacturers whom it effects who
are accustomed to sell their goods as
"pure Cream Of Tartar" absolutely

The bill is something needed. II
muker uses drug in hia powder, the
name OF which he does not want to
Rave printed on his label, 1T is prima
facie evidence that there is some
thing wrong. We hope the subject
will be vigorously prosecuted all over
the country, not only AZ regards bals-
ing powder, but also all other food
authorizations.
This bill may incidentally benefit
the makers Of pure articles, but L it
should, this is only TN additional

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Secretary Blaine
spent several hours in conference with the
President at the white house to-day In re-
gard TO the Chilean affair 1t is understood
that the President il making careful and
thorough study Of the entire correspond
ence. with view to the preparation of a
message to congress on the subject.
A naval officer of long experience and
great prominence said this afternoon: "The
public should be acquainted with the real
gravity of the controversy with Chile. The
investigation at San Francisco is develop
ing some very startling facts. and it will be

may seem an odd OF even joking observa-

RIGHTS OF WITNESSES.

Courts Cannot Compel Them to Grim
mate Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lit has now be-
come settled law that witnesses cannot be
compelled to testify in any criminal case
where answers might tend to criminate
them in any way or subject them to possi-
BILE future prosecution. 1t is held that the
fifth amendment to the constitution, giving
persons the right to refuse to answer cues
tions which might be used against them in
criminal cases, must be construed in its
broadest sense Suoh is the effect of the de-
cfsion OF the United States supreme court
to-day IN the celebrated interstate commerce
case of Charles Counselman, appellant. VS..
Frank Hitchcock, marshal of the United
States district court for the Northern
distriut of Illinois. The case is
one OF great interest to railroad men and
has attracted widespread attention. Mr..
Counselman was asked whether he had
ever obtained from any railroad rate on
grain shipments lower than the open rate
to all shippers. He refused to answer on
the ground that it might criminats him,
and claimed the protection of the constitu-
tional guarantee conferred by the fifth
amendment. Judge Gresham decided
against him and held him in CON
tempt of court for refusing to
answer the questions, and it
is on an appeal from Judge Gresham's order
thai the case decided by the supreme court
to-day came up. The courts ruling is that
Judge Gresham's order was erroneous and
that Mr.. Counselman cannot be compelled
to testify. 1t has been said that the effect
of decision by courts that witnesses can
not be compelled to testify will seriously
hamper the interstate commerce commits
sion In the administration of the interstate
commerce act. The courts decision was
unanimous.
