Congressman Cockran,s Denial.

The Washington correspondents do not
intend to disclose the sources of the
alleged information upon which they
based their newspaper stories which the
Senate is now investigating and it is
hardly probable that they can be forced
to do so. Indeed, it is a question whether
they had any such information from any
one that would justify the broad state
ments they made They had rumors, and
from them drew conclusions which they
put into the shape of dispatches to their
respective papers.
1t is pretty certain that, if they should
give the names of parties as their in
formants, these parties would deny the
statements attributed to them or would
assert they were misunderstood and mis-
quoted. For instance, Mr.. Walker. one
of the correspondents, declared that Con-
gresham Cochran told him certain things
Mr. Cochran denies he ever had any such
conversation with Correspondent Wal
ker as the latter testified to in his ex-
animation by the investigating commit
tee. 1t is also asserted that the story
that Secretary Carlisle drafted the
sugar schedule is greatly distorted
When the truth in respect to it is made
known it will be found that he has done
nothing of which any fair-minded man
would complain
The truth doubtless is that the CORE
spondepts have made great deal out of
nothing, and they refuse to give up the
names of their informants because they
know the informants would say the cor
respondents misunderstood them or that
what they did say was given a meaning
they did not intend it should have. In
order to protect themselves, therefore,
the correspondents are forced to refuse
to disclose the sources of their alleged in
formation.
But why should the investigating com
mittee waste time in trying to get from
the correspondents what they have deter.
mined not to reveal? Why not call men,
bers of the national democratic commit
tee and inquire if the sugar trust made
any contribution to the national demo-
cratic campaign fund, and if so what was
the amount of it, And why do they not
call Secretary Carlisle and ask him about
the sugar scheduled and also senators
who are charged with having speculated
in sugar stocks? Those gentlemen know
whether or not there was any wrong
doing They know a great deal more than
the newspaper correspondents if there is
anything TO be known, and they would not
and could not refuse TO answer
Mrs Leases lie is despaired of by her
physicians. The poor woman has prob
ably been scared to the verge of the grave
| by thecrank who has been threatening to
kill her.s She regards herself as woman
of destiny, believes her time to die has
about arrived and is making preparations
for the end. Being in such a frame Of
mind, it would be wonderful if she re-
covered.

Bring in Another Horse"

From Charleston News and Courier CDem0
The Savannah News said yesterday: If
Gen, Gordon Is coming to Georgia TO assist
his friend. Gen. Evans in his campaign for
the democratic gu5ernatorial nomination, as
reported, he hasn't got much time to spare
The sooner he gets to work the better il will

the counties that have already spoken, isn't
going 10 have walk over. as it was predicted
when he entered The contest" But the News
itself is not enthusiastic for either OF the can
dldates 1t said Yesterday: Ave have con
tended all along. and stu contend that
neither OF the gentlemen who are
before the people is the man
Georgia needs for governor. The
next TWO or three years willie very import
ant ones in her history and she should have
at the head of her affairs one of the brainest,
most liberal and progressive men within her
tOrders There are several such men who
would respond If called upon. Ibis question
of choosing uninstTdcted delegates is well
worth thinking about. " And the News is
more than half right Georgia would not be
seriously injured If neither Gen. Evans or Mr..
Atkinson should be nominated. We have not
seen IN any of their campaign speeches any
very remarkable evidences of large informa-
ton on public questions. 1t would probably
be better, on the whole, to bring in another
hOrse.

rhe South Carolina senetorshin.

From Springfield (Mass0 Republican Gnd).
Senator Butler, of South Carolina. wants to
be reelected to the Senate and Gov. Tilman
wants his seat. Consequently they are both
bidding hard for the support of the farmers
alliance and the popHlistic crowd which con
trolls the legislature. Butler bids as hie as
T1llman, and maybe goes HIM a little better.
but the difference between the bids is not
enough to count. Both want free silver coin

ton of AMIGA BE relations between Hr. HOar

on opposing sides of the great economic dis
cuss.On and ready both of them to do battle
at moments notice for partisan advantage,
have beneath their aggressive outward de

other, and II Is good thing for all hands
that this higher regard should find occasional
expression in the becoming terms employed
by the MASSACHUSETTS, senator on FRIDAY.

Senator Walsh thinks the way to treat
those rich men who make their money in
this country and then absent themselves
from the country about taX-paying time
is to touch their incomes for their proper
tionate share of the government expenses
Absenteeism is, indeed, IA bad thing; as
bad in congressman as in millionares,
therefore it is to be expected that Senator
Walsh will be consistent and suggest
some plan whereby senatorial absentee
ism, at a cost to the government of SIS to
$50 day each man, may be stopped.

A sailor landed on a cannibal isle,
IN the far of southern sea.
And he said to himself, with smoker and a
smile.
I'm glad that the Boweree
Was where I was born and where I was
raised.
For these niggers are up to snuff,
And they won't eat me, either boiled or
bruised,
For they know that I'm too tough"
SO up the shore. with a confident air.
He went, those folks to meet.
And they sized him up right then and there.
AS much too tough to eat
Then the old king daughter. up spake she,
IN the tongue OF her native land,
And SAID, Dear pa, you'd better let me
Take this tough young man in hand
So around Jacks neck her arms she flung,
And cooed like springtime dove.
And the sailorman who, though tough was
young
Soon found himself much in love.
Oh, alack and alas for woman S wiles,
For he saw not her aim
And under the influence of her smiles
Quite tender he became.
SO they cooked him up in the highest art
Down there on the sea washed shore.
And the maiden, Of course, received the heart
Which the same he had given her before
