A BOSS wHITEwAsH JOB.

Senator Gray. OF Delaware, has es-
tablished his reputation as the boss OF
Senat orial whitewashers.
His committee found that Secretary
Carlisle had privately advised with GER
tain members of the Finance Committee
OF the Senate on the sugar schedule, but
Mr.. Gray pronounces the newspaper
article stating that fact without
foundation" and declares that the &C.
ton of the correspondent who made II
public calls for SERIOUS reprobation."
The Sugar bosses before the Commit
tee as witnesses admitted that the Trust

but absolutely refused to -. state the
amounts. Mr.. Gray says there IL no
testimony to show that the sugar
schedule was made to favor the Trust
In consideration OF campaign contribu-
tons.
The Committee found that MIR. Have
meyer and the other Sugar Trust
monopolists had been in Washington
while the sugar schedule was under dis
eussion. and had consulted with Sena-
tors with the view of influencing legisla-
ton. Mr.. Gray says there is nothing to
show that they used any improper
means to that end.
1t being impossible to deny that some

not have supposed that the warning,

of the men possessing all the respecta-

cal life, and that the men calling each

each others faces were the broadcloth,
silk-stocking, patent-leather patrons OF
the gilded saloons, of the Union League
Club.
The Milhollanders evidently had
everything their own way, and while
the meeting of the Subcommittee was
scarcely needed to make the fact plain,
1t became more certain than ever at its
close that Plat will rule at the State
Convention, and that the Union League
Club may as well sell out and retire

thing seems to be in line for harmony"
How do the friends OF good government

the people lose by the continuance OF

OF girls take too much upon themselves when they

advice these parents is to let their daughters make

no happiness for girl to be tied to q man she
doesn't love, even though he be rich. Better
by far marry the one she loves. even II he is
