hard to believe thai one who has brer

for some time that the Wilmington

Last spring the Wilmington Mrssen

The Senator is a splendid politician as
has been illustrated in many campaigns

skill his heterogeneous forces, composed OF
the honest, simple farmers as well as the
corporate interests to which he has always

aiming me proceedings relative to this mat
ef lilld III communication from the Post
master General statement that III receiving
MS money Tor special service, the railroad
company does 50 only when schedules, as
provided by the department, are complied
with. The Senator sought in his letter to
,mphasize his desire to be frank and can
ild IN giving his answers to Mr.. Mathews
respectful inquiries. He also emphasized
hat he had no cOncealment' of any public
act from the 0eOple of North Carolina.
These declarations are easily made; they
sound well and are sometimes effective OF
heir purpose, when not contradicted or dis
proven.
This style Of protesting unusual honesty
md purity, however, seems to be specially
)t our ViCe-WatCh dog of the L nasury. All
through the record of the proceedings of the
last Legislative joint committee on the back
aXes case against the Wilmington IL Wei
ion Railroad Company, Mr.. Jarvis can be
found constantly protesting his nobility of
purpose, his patriotism. and his stubborn
determination TO guard the interest of the
people. Notwithstanding the fact that all
this time he IS being richly compensated to
look out for the interests of a corporation
whose Interests there are diametrically IN
lmlcal to the interests OF the people. The
Senator in his letter writes very smoothly of
how nobly he acted and says inferentially
mat 1t was great blessing to the people of
NoTth CaToilha that they had such a good
anu uhSelhsn Il patriot to settle that matter
