Thornton asked to inspect the claims.
They were handed TO him. and after a
brief inspection he said: "Your Honor,
this is an example of what l mean. Here

promissory notes executed by George l..

claims against this insolvent; and, be-

Fisher Ames maintained that these notes
represented money borrowed bv Brander
and used on behalf of the State Investment
Company. Brander was a bona-ide cred
itor of the company, as he was responsible
for the money.

ANOTHER WORD ON SENATOR'S.

day or so back we devoted an article
TO the idea that the menace to the IN
stitutons OF this Government lies In the
catering Of United States senators TO the
monopoies In their States. They secure
their monopolies beneficial legislation IN
return for which the monopolies confirm
ute large sums Of money 70 the senators
campaign fund with which the senators
debauch the elections Of the besiSi"-
lures. and thus secure their re-eleO'io''
10 the Senate. The Baltimore sun iui
nished striking illustration OF the tru'h
NJ This q dav or so back. II Is wen
known that Senator German, the master
machine politician Of this country was
the head and front Of the new modih-
cations Of the tariff bill that changed 1t
into practically another Mckinley bill.
Tho Sun had a number OF representatives
NJ favored Industries in Baltimore In
terviewed about these changes, and all
NJ them expressed spirit of deep graft
tudo 10 Senator German for the increased
measure Of protection" which the
changes already made had given them,
and that would be given them by the
stll further changes that they expected
him 70 secure. This tells the whole tale.
German can. Of course, drawn on these
people for large contributions to his cam
paign fund, and with these he viii de-
bauch Marylands elections and secure MS
return to the Senate. What does he care
whether the people Of the United States
get reduction in the cost OF what they
have to buy, or whether they do not, so
long as he can keep his seat In the
United States Senate?
The money which United States sena-
tors get from trusts and monopolies in
return for legislation which they secure
for them. and government patronage
controlled by them, are the serious menace
10 our institutions The latter is as
baleful in its tendencies as the former.
on the 9Th of May, 1894, the Senate
spent five hours in executive session
over a personal squabbe between the
two senators from Florida, the one sup
porting and the other opposing nomi-
nation made by the President for the
Office of internal revenu collector at
Jacksonville. And what was at stake
in the contest? Nothing but the question
whether Senator Call should have tooter
In the Jacksonville collector or Senator
Pasco should have one. 1t was nothing
but whether one or the other should have
the Florida Legislature in future sena-
torial elections. The public business
was Of no consequence whatever compar-
ed with this The Constitution should
be amended so as to have the senators
elected by direct vote of the people.

II seems to be the policy--and a wise
one It is-both of the Chesapeake ana

age to the manufacturers along their

to create business for themselves, out
