The special session of the Senate has
come to an end. Beyond the contirma-
ton of the Pre- ident's appointments the
only act which has attracted public at
tention is its refusal to Investigate Sena-
tor Roach, who is accused ofbeing de-
faulter and fugitive from justice. The
opposition to the investigation claimed
that the Senate was bound to receive any
person, no matter what his character
and previous record, whom State
elected, provided only that he was le-
gally chosen.

feet in Boston, in Springfield to
one dollar and forty cents, and in

If gas can be afforded in these cities at

The Democrats seem to have captured
the lower house of Rhode Island legisla-

We should think the figures of the vote
in Ward would make Mr.. Guptilrs ears
Jingle, and create a suspicion within him
that he is holding his seat in the Board
OF Aldermen more by the grace of Tom
Harper than by the grace of a. majority
of the voters of that ward At any rate
he can find nothing in them to make him
glad that he surrendered his self respect
at the demand of the Falmouth and
Young Mems Democratic clubs, The
Republicans worked hard yesterday, and
doubtless some Democrats assisted them.
But Republican work and Democratic
assistance can hardly account for the
change that was wrought there if all of
Harper's fraud at the first election was
the adding of 80 to Mr.. Ingraham's vote.
Substracting this so the vote would have
stood at the last'election, 400 for Baxter
to 666 for Ingraham. The vote yester-
day was, for Baxter $40, and for Ingra-
ham 500. Here is a gain of so votes for
the Republicans and a loss Of 1865 votes
for the Democrats. If all those so votes
were changes there would still be 116
votes lost to the Democratic ticket to be
accounted for. The inference is inevita-
BILE that Harper's fraud at the first cleo
ton embraced much more than the addi-
ton of S0votes to the Democratic column.

tNorE-I have taken such liberties with thii
journal as seemed to me best calculated to pro-
mote the interests and stimulate the interest
of the reader Mr.. Mainwaring probably did
not write with q view to publication, and he
often has turned aside to treat Of matters
which do not belong to the strange story that
was developing under his observation. Such
passages have generally been expunged and
the narrative made to read as much as possible
like IN ordinary novel told In the first person.
On the other hand, there Is q certain leisureu-
ness and circumstantiality about Mr.. Main
warnings style, and he possesses sense of ar
tistic propriety and Of dramatic effect which
have been OF infinite service to his editor.
Though his journal could have been meant
only for his own reference or amusement, he
seemed instinctively to aim at a completeness
and symmetry rarely met with in that species
Of composition. Very rarely indeed have j
been obliged to interpolate facts not conveyed
in the text. For the rest a few transpositions
here and there a verbal emendation and occa-
sionally change in the form Of narration
cover the limits of my labors. OF course
might simply have used the materials at my
command to make up regular novel. But it
seemed to me that the effect of the tale was
much enhanced by the fact that the teller of it
was not only himself one of the characters in
1t, but did not know at the time he was tell
ing 1t what the next day or hour might bring
forth. He is quite as much in suspense as the
reader can be, and thus sympathy ana cont-
deuco on the readers part are established
which could not otherwise be attained. Delib-
erately planned artistic surprises are lost, but
the compensating advantages are ample. An
earthquake, murder, a thpnderbolt, an elope-
ment, are startling enough in themselves with
out being lied up to-" Moreover, no longer
have either the time or the inclination to work
out an elaborate fiction and am well content
to let Mr.. Frank Mainwaring speak for him

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that

deranged the organs which they supply with

A STINGING ARGUMENT.

Hon. Abner Taylor, of Illinois, a
Republican, made a short speech
during the last hours of the dead
Congress, of which the following is
the closing part:
Several persons, in criticising the
act of 1890 have said that if the GER
tifcates that were being issued under
that act had behind them dollars
worth of silver that there was no Sc
rious objection to it. That is exactly
what they have behind them. The
certificates are issued for the pur-
chase of this silver at the market
price as fixed by the worlds market,
and the certificates are issued on that
market price so, as I SAID, each one
has a dollars worth of silver, as est
mated by the market world, behind.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
ample authority to sell bonds if nee
essary now. 1t is true they would
be four per cent bonds, but they
would bring a premium that would
bring them to less than three per
cent.
notice by the papers that one
Walter @. Gresham has been selected
by Mr.. Cleveland as his Secretary Of
State. Mr.. Gresham within the las
sixty days has said that he was a
good Republican, except that he was
in harmony with Mr.. Cleveland on
the tariff question, and as he was Sc
lected simply because he was in har-
mony with him on that question, I
have been very much surprised that
the author of this amendment (Sena-
tor Sherman) was not selected for a
Cabinet position. He is entirely in
harmony with the President-elect on
greater question than that-fnance.
I do not think that Mr.. Gresham has
ever hal any experience in revising
a tariff, nor do / believe he Is a
great tariff student, while the gentle
man who is the author of this amend
ment has had great experience.

No man knows better how to make
money scarce and interest high than
he. No man knows better what the
Wall street money owners want and
is more ready to cooperate with
them IN obtaining it than he. There
fore can not understand why he
was overlooked in forming the Cabi-
net, as the financial question is greater
than the tariff.
The President elect has had his
Office for the last four years on Wall
street, been breathing the air, sur
rounded by the men who own money
and who gamble with it, and comes
into power fully impregnated with
their views, and, I have no doubt,
will do everything he can to carry
out their views. But | wish to say
to him and the country that the time
for money owners controlling the
Legislation of this country has passed.
A great empire has grown up IN the
West, of which they have but little
knowledge.
The line between the two great
parties has become somewhat dim.
Men are crossing and reorossing
from one party to the other, and this
is owing 20 the fact that the two
great issues which divide the parties
are the tariff and the financial ques-
ton, and there is high tariff and low
tariff men in both parties and men in
favor of contraction and expansion in
both, and if a fight is forced upon
the West by the incoming admins
tration for contraction of the cur
rency, which will have the purpose of
making money. scarcer and higher,
the President will find himself with
out following in the West. The
dividing line between the two parties
will be broken down and the parties
in the West-both North and South
will unite in a common cause
against the administration and the
money owners of the East.

st. Louis Republic
Not long ago The Republic had
the misfortune to excite the wrath of
Congressman Bynum of Indiana by
an Incidental comment on the ex-
treme courtesy and tenderness with
which the President of the Whisky
Trust was treated while on the stand
as witness before the special CON-
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives appointeA to- investigate the
trust. Now wel wish to state, not
Incidentally, but directly, and ,aftor
careful deliberation, that Mr. By
NUNS Whisky Trust investigation"
was probably only one of number
of fraudulent humbugs which were
not intended to find out anything.
We have learned from the Bynum
investigation that the Whisky Trust
is now incorporated under the laws
governing corporations in general.
This and some other information of
a like nature everybody who reads
the newspapers knew beforehand,
and Mr.. Bynum might have learned
it by investing 5 cents in copy of
The Republic.
Bad as that humbug was, the COM
mittee vestigation of the Panama
Canal swlndle was no better The
Canal Company spent some $4,000
900 in this country, and it is presum-
able that some of it was spent in
briblng members of Congress, but
the only conclusion reached by the
committee is that cit may be that no
investigation, however prolonged,
could be efficient, after this lapse of
time, in making the discovery, even
if there were such corrupt use Of
money, but on this point the COM
mittee does not desire to express the
opinion that further investigation
would be entirely fruitless."
In view of the fact that Banker
Seligman handled the funds; that he
admitted on the stand that his books
would show who got the money, and
that the committee entirely failed to
examine the books, this humbug is,
if anything, a little more transparent
than the Whisky Trust whitewash.
We are afraid that the time has
come to confess that in at least nine
cases out of ten the legislative " in
vestigation is inaugurated with the
intention of preventing anything
from being found out. This is not
due to "partisanship,'' as is some
times wrongly supposed. The inves-
tigating committee is almost if not
quite as unwilling to detect and ex-
pose members of the other party as
of it's own. The courtesy of the
Senate " or of the House, or of the
Office holding fraternity in general, is
far stronger than partisanship, and
partisan advantage is continually
sacrificed rather than take the risk
of exposure which might become
mutual.
