A GUARDIAN FOR PALMER.
Hawley Says the Illinois Statesman
Needs One.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-While the senate
yesterday was discussing the resolution
for an investigation of the Pinkerton sys-
tenn Palmer made a speech in which he
said, referring to the Pinkertons: 'They
ought to be bounded down by such means
as are employed against enemies of man
kind. You can from this, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that 1 would not be very impartial
judge where they are concerned" Later
Hawley got the floor and referred to the
speech made by Palmer some time ago in
which he took socialistic ground. Hawley
condem ned the senator's remarks.
An Assertion to Carnegie.
Palmer replied to Hawley, and in ex-
planning his socialistic speech said that all
our laws for half a century had tended to
the organization of capital, and the effect
of this organization had been that labor
had become feeble for. want of orCaniZa-
ton. He believed that public policy de-
manded that the organization of labor
should be encouraged as we have hereto
fore encouraged the organization of capt.
tal. His reasoning with regard to the
Homestead case had been this: That this
Carnegie organization, which controlled
So, 600, 900 of capital, had actually, so far
as its power reached, forbidden the organ
ization of labor.
Correction from Hawley.
Hawley. interrupting, said he could
permit the ordinary mistakes of the sena-
tor from Illinois (and they We're very nu-
merous) to pass unnoticed, but this cor
poration had never been so idiotic as to
attempt to prevent the organization of la
Dor. All they insisted upon was the right
of saying whom they should employ. Pal
mer said the interruption might have
been characterized by n better manner, but
he was glad he had SO friendly guar
dian.
Hawley-You need one.
Palmer-1he senator says I need guar

Ost1fe' Exchanges
WAS HINGToN, Aug. 8.-There was a
breezy time during the hearing yesterday
of the Watson charges. Watson and Boat
ner grew hot and intimat ed mutually that
each was straying from the truth. Then
Boatner told Watson not to disturb the
committee" an imputation that Watson
denied and Boatner reasserted. Il want
you to understand" finally said Boatner,
'that / am perfectly responsible. l Will
not avoid YOU ''And / want you 70 un-
derstand that am responsible. l am not
avoiding you," said Watson.
Will 1t BE Pistols and Coffee?
1t is said that both gentlemen have rec
ords as fighters and that both have
winged Their men. Personal trouble Is
feared between them. They both come
from part of the country where a per-
sonal difficulty is likely TO lead TO gun
play" and il is stated that Watson habit
ually goes armed. Judge Cobb was on the
stand yesterday and denied that he was in
the least under the influence of liquor.
Altogether Watson doesn't seem to have
made out a case either as TO his sweeping
charge or as to the specific one III Cobhs
case The committee will doubtless re-
port against him.

Protection and the Farmer,

After quoting jefferson and other
fathers" in support of the constitutional
iry of protection and quoting from the
senate report on the effect of the McKin-
ley bill on prices the governor said that
protection was of much benefit 20 the
farmer as TO any other class. 1t made a
home demand for his products and home
consumers were better than foreign con-
sumers because they were nearer the field
of production. Millions of dollars of farm
products were sold in our industrial CEN
tiers which would not be raised at all but
for the demand they made.

Mak,ns war on SENATOR am.


Senator Hill's enemies In New York are
trying TO make it appear that he was not
true 20 his party In the recent election.
They point 70 the counties Of Albany, Che
mung and Schuyler In the state of New
York, in which Mr.. Clevslands loss wss
2,700, as evidence that be and Edward
Murphy, Jr. tried 10 defeat Mr.. Cleveland
and the Democratic party. In those ooun-
ties the control OF Senator Hill aud Mr..
Murphy is unquestioned. Why was II
then, it is asked, that tasse counties failed
10 give their usual democratic vote, while
all the other counties OF the state
did 30 we'll for the Democratic partYi The
answer given Is that Senator Hills shooters
made q determined effort to beat Cleveland,
supposing that there would be the same
kind of perfidy In all the other counties VI
the state.
As far as the public knows Senator Hin
did his duty In the national campaign.
There Is no good reason to believe THAI ne
played a trsachsrous part These stories
charging him with treachery are started
for the purpose Of creating q sentiment
against him, and defeating Edward Murphy
Senate. Senator HIN Is a supporter of Mr..
Murphy, and it is supposed that he has a
or eat deal Of influence with the legislature
that has the choosing of the senator. II
Senator Hills influence can be lessened Mr.
Murphy may be beaten. That seems to be
the explanation Of the attacks upon Sena-
tor Hill.
No doubt the small democratic vote in
the foregoing counties can be easily ex-
planned. 1t is certainly not just to Senator
Hill TO say that he used his influence to
keep democrats from voting for Mr.. Cleve-
land, without any evidence that he did.
He is not quite as popular now
as he was 9 year ago. and because
he is not his enemies in New
York are doing what they can 10 bring him
into disrepute. He Is entitled to be treated
with justice He was undoubtedly bitterly
disappointed at his failure to get the presi-
Dental nomination Of his party, and he did
not take his defeat gracefully. but better
evidence than has yet been produced is re-
CURED to make democrats believe chat be is
guilty Of treachery to his party.
Mr.. Murphy may not be at man for
senator. II what is said of his Qualifica-
tions Is true, he is not. The great state Of
New York ought TO have a man of high
character and frst-class ability to represent
her in the Senate, not q machine
politician. But the fact that Mr..
Murphy is not a ft man for sena-
tor is no reason for charging Senator
Hill with treaehery. The senator has his
faults like ether men, but that he is guilty
of treachery to friends or party few VIII
believe without satisfactory evidence
