which he based dispatch intimating
that the President and Cabinet officer
had stated that the Democratic party
was under obligations to the sugar
trust.
Walker said that Cochran had told
him that the President and Cabinet
officer had made this statement. Cock
ran did not mention the name OF the
Cabinet officer, but the witness said he
subseq uently ascertained that Carlisle
WAS meant
Walker was also asked with reference
to statement in another dispatch in
the Daily America that the sugar trust
had contributed $4,000 to the anti
snapper campaign fund in New York
State. He answered that this informa-
ton had come to him through the man
in charge of that fund to whom he had
gone for verihcation OF rumor to that
effect.
In one OF his dispatches Walker had
made statement similar to that OF
Shriver in the Mail and Express that
Democratic Senators had been in con-
sultaton with members OF the sugar
trust st tho Arlington, and had yielded
to the demands of the trust that sugar
should be provided for in the tariff bill
Walker also declined to give the name
OF any of the persons connected with
this latter episode. All OF the witnesses
examined to day will be called to-mor-
row and the committee will try to force
them to give the names OF their authori-
ties.
Judge Dittenhoefer, counsel for Ed
wards, will probably make an argument
before the committee.

ROANOKE. VA, MAY 25. 1894.
1T TEACHES A LESSON.

Yesterdays election was a peculiar
S. E. Jones as mayor by small ma jor-
ity is a source of qualification to the
Democratic voters OF the city, who have
had to contend against many odds in
the contest thus closed.
The close vote on the mayoralty and
the defeat of the other candidates OF the
party WAS attributable to many causes,
chief among which was the issue drawn
on the wet" and dry" question.
1t was evident that this issue was
being brought largely into the election
by the manifested openness with which
the pronounced dry" men who had for
merly been Democrats bolted the ticket
and gave their vote and influence for
the so-called dry" leader OF the Re-
publican party.
There was also a great deal of dissatis-
faction among the Democrats at the
decision to hold a primary and luke
warm spirit was engendered which in
so close a contest almost proved
disastrous. Personal popularity and
individual faults In the candidates were
also accountable for the result in the
defeat of several men upon the Demo
cratic ticket.
Fortunately the complexion of the
Council will remain unchanged, and the
Democracy are sure of having in this
body good working majority, which
will hold party principles in allegiance
in SO far AS politics enter into their
course.

a POINT IN THE INVESTIGATION.

The result of tho investigation Of the
sugar trust and It's relation to the offer
OF bribery recen.ly made TO United
States Senators, IS vas to be expected,
can amount TO nOught unless
some means are secured for com
polling the witnesses to divulge
names which they have secured
under promise OF stric test confidence or
by obtaining the information in other
ways. The case now in hand before the
investigating committee brings up for
consideration an important point. The
witnesses being examined are news
paper men, who refuse to state their
authority for the information received.
The question is, will the committee
compel them to divulge the informa-
ton? and If SO is it right and equitable
that they should do this?
We believe that the press Of the
country occupies peculiar position in
relation to the Government, and its
representatives are entitled to considera.
lions which arc denied other individ-
uals. 1t Is result Of newspaper charges
that the present investigation is made
No one can deny but what the exposure
OF the underhand workings was in the
interest of the people in that it has
brought about this investigation, and
may lead to the conviction and punish
ment OF the guilty parties. If so, then
the newspapers should be given credit
for the work, and in return should re-.
ceive the consideration which such work
in the future is depo ndent upon.
Let the people know that the repre-
sentatives of the press are not to be de-
pended upon to hold in confidence the
names Of t.pe informant and few of these
exposures would be forthcoming. The
affairs would be held back from the
press and the people when they should
be Brought to their notice and as re-
suit the people. not the newspapers,
are. The sufferers.

and unless the information which the
press conveys is false then the general
good has bsen accomplished and the
authorities being given point for their
investigation can seek for it wherever
they will.
We maintain that they infringe upon
the rights Of newspaper mon by asking
them to divulge the authority for every
statement that is published.

who moved in the house OF commons
that the budget committee be en-
powered to divide the budget bill into
two parts and to embody the provision
respecting the sinking fund in differ
ent measure.
Mr.. Goschen, chancellor of the ex-
chquer under Lord Salisbury's admins
tration and several minor conservatives
supported the motion, after which a
division was taken with the result that
1t was rejected by a vote of 16l to 1al, a
