with more detail. The fact that q
direct offer of money was made has
been proven by one witness at least,
according to the statement Of the
chairman of the committee.
Senator Hunton knew nothing except
upon heresRy evidence, but told the
committee what he had learned from
his son. Eppa Hunton, Jr., was next
put ON the stand and told the commit
tee how he had been approached by
Major Buttz and offered q sum of money
If he would induce his father to vote
against the pending tariff bill. Sena-
tor Kyle was on the stand longer than
any one else, for it was developed that
an offer to bride had been made to him
direct by the man who stands charged
with the commission of the offence. At
least, this was the Interpretation put
Senator Kyle testified that Mr.. Buttz
bad offered him money for his vote,
saying that he could have Sc, 600, and
made an offer of $14, 900 down.
Immediately after the committee
met Mr.. ButtZ made a written request
OF the chairman of the committee to be
present with his attorney and cross
examine witness To this request no
attention was given, and Mr.. Buttz
subsequently, gave his request to the
press.
At the afternoon session of the com
mittee, Mr.. Buttz vas kept on the stand
for upwards of three hours, The mem
bers of the committee declined to say
anything pertaining to his evidence,
for the reason that Ee has not yet con-
Cluded. 1t is understood, however,
that Mr.. Buttz denied vehemently that
he had made any attempt to bribe the
Senator referred to or any other per
sons. He vas accompanied by his at
tOrney, Mr.. MCGOWAN. tt is also said
that none of the evidence so far ad-
duced duplicates any one other than
Mr.. Buttz, and that if there was any
one behind him in the alleged transac-
ton, the committee has failed to dis
cover who it was.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow at 10 o'clock.

CoUNTRRFR1TERs CAPTURED

WASHINGTON, May ga circular
Just issued from the secret service
division of the Treasury Department
announces the discovery of a new
counterfeit IS silver certificate. 1t is
described as a photographic production.
The Grant portrait and lathe work are
poorly executed, and the figure 5 on
the left face of the note has a crooked,
distorted appearance. From the de-
scription as given in the circular the
defects in the note are very general,
and close crutiny of it, 1t would seem,
would easily detect it as a counterfeit.
The maker and his two confederates
were captured in Topeka, Kansas, by
the police and a secret service agent,
and 81, 015 of the notes and the plate
from which they were printed secured.

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION
By the Special Committee of the Senate
Major Butte on the Witness Stand.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The special
committee appointed to investigate the
charges of bribery alleged to have been
attempted by Major Buttz and also to
consider the doings of the sugar trust
in connection with legislation, held two
sessions to day behind closed doors,
and with newspaper men and the pub
lie excluded. The first began a few
minutes after 10 o'clock and lasted until
1 o'clock when a recess for an hour was
taken. During the recess, Senator
Gray, speaking for the committee, said
that as soon as this case was concluded
the committee would print the testi-
monv and Law it before the Senate. He
said it would be pretty much on the
lone of trial of that which has hereto
fore appeared in the newspapers but

were still kneeling after the volley was
fred and were struggling to get upon
their feet when they received the Sec
ond shot, which stretched them beside
their companions.

Louisiana. Fredericksburg Heights
were occupied, and the Sixth Corps
pushed on to Salem Church, four miles
farther on, and there met another BODY
OF the enemy and engaged them in fierce
lighting. Company A, OF the Ninety
third Pennsylvania, OF which / was
member, was, with the regiment, in
very uncomfortable position. Though
the men were falling all
around me, I took particular notice,
quite naturally, OF my own bunk
mate, e. C. Euston, who fell, aDpar-
emily killed or mortaly wounded, al
most at my side. Amid the roar OF the
canronading and the frightful rattle OF
the musketry, shall never forget how
it occurred TO me that poor Euston was
gone and that l would have TO hunt
another bUnkmate. Later in the day
the tide OF battle turned in favor OF the
Confederates. We were Iepulsed with
great loss and before night were COM
PEELED 10 fall back, and recrossed dur
ing the night 10 the Falmouth SIDE.
When about to go intO camp felt
about as gloomy as man could be cap
able OF feeling, at the loss OF my mate,
anu was proceeding TO look out for
new companion for bunk and mess,
when I saw what seemed TO be a famil-
lar form approaching slowly. When it
came close enough for recognition who
should it be out my old bunkmate, Eus-
ton.
"Why, thought you were killed."
exclaimed, hardly believing the evil
dence of my eyes, and almost ready 10
think 10 was customs ghost
mot Dy long shot" was the reply,
but IN strange, mumbling tone, which
made his words almost uninteiligi0le.
"Where were you shot?" l asked.
He answered by pointing to the left
side Of his nose, and then l noticed that
there was q hole there, and that it was
stuffed full Of cotton.
Where did it come out?" said l.
He put his finger in his mouth aud
touched the roof OF it and said mere"

"Why, you foolish fellow" said.
"you should nave kept it for a souve-
MIR"
"You are foolish fellow" he re-
piled. "l'ye had that bullet good deal
longer than l wanted il already"
EustOn persistently refused TO go to
the hospital, although he suffered in
tense pain. he went with US
all through the terrible cam
paign that followed fredericksburg,

the vice-soaked rich man at one end OF
the social ladder and the crime-hardened
pauper and thief at the other. Every
man should be free to do his best as to
industry, agriculture, education and
ethics, aud to feel II TO be his highest
duty TO place his best efforts at the
disposition of society. This end can
only be attained by social revolution in
every country where the toilers look
forward to the grave as happy release,
and the rich man comes more and more
to regard his employees as his serfs. A
popular uprising is inevitable. Sooner
or later it will come, aud we seek TO
prepare the proletariat for it by word,
oy act, and by deed"
'But is not the right to private prop
erty the secret of the worlds advance?"
l asked.
No" he exclaimed, with some vehe-
mence. The history OF private prop
erty is the history of human suffering.
So long as there is private property we
shall have the rich TO Cypress and the
poor 10 be trodden down. Such 4 con-
dition leads to monstrous accumlations
of wealth, and we come TO measure men
by their possessions aud not by their in
tellecuual and moral worth. In what
way has wealth improved
the masses? You show me

"You mean as free men, men will not
do as much as they did when slaves?
This has not been the experience Of the
ages. In our communities there would
be fewer drones at the top and bottom
OF the hive than we ind to-day. Under
the proper conditions, men could supply
their wants, their Injuries II you will,
with far less effort than 10 requires to
keep body and soul together to-day and
add ID the wealth Of the capitalist"
Then you expect 10 have 10 lazy
men in this ideal s0ciety?"
THAT is the point most strongly
urged against US by those who never did
a useful days work in their lives. Does
the law against loaing and Vagrau-
cy rid US OF these parasites now?
No, but the force Of social opinion,
which is stronger than statutory law.
will soon work a remedy against lazi-
ness. Necessity for work will still ex-
ist, and honor will be greater incentive
to manly effort than fear OF she law.
The fear OF wrong doing would be far
greater than IL is now. WIKI this per-
feet freedom, truth would fake the

the Republican party again and later
he found himself in tie cabinet. Since
that time his career has been known TO
all men. The Organization of the Mug
wump party. il it may be called =
party. gave Mr. Sehurz another chance
to show his independence. He Joined
the MugwumpS and supported Clevs-
land against Mr.. Blaine. In the last
presidential election he supported Mr..
Cleveland against General Harrison.
Such, In outline, has been the career
OF this somewhat remarkable man.
That it has been busy and varied one
no one will deny and just what the flu
ture may end In is matter to speculate
upon.
AS has been before stated the position
Mr.. Schurz now occupies in politics Is
anomalous. He stands as it were In a
little space alone and the old line party
leaders look upon him as being OF an
other kind aud Of no kin to them. Many
OF the men who have been watching the
trend OF things political for both profi
and amusement have also been waiting
TO see if President Cleveland intends to
do anything for Schurz. That tho
President owes him something more
substantial than mere esteem is gener-
ally conceded even BY those who have
no liking for Mr. SchurZ.
