True, and the special pity of it is
that the gentleman in question is q
man whom the public has had cause to
regard as Democrat possessed of too

to see his party stabbed by the PopuIists
without other resistance than a wordy
and meaningless protest. In proper

disappointment.-N Y. Sun.

add each year to the cost of sugar con-

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. May Oath, 1894
Perhaps it may be true. as has been
constantly reiterated, that Mr.. Steven
son is not particularly friendly towards
Mr.. Cleveland and his administration,
but his selection of the Democratic
members of the Senate committee that
Monday began star chamber investi-
cation of numerous charges of crooked
ness against Senators and outsiders,
beginning with the cock and bull story
concerning an attempt having been
made to bribe Senators Hunton, Of Va.
and Kyle of S. OAK, to vote against
the tariff bill, and including the
charges against Democrat Senators of
having speculated in sugar trust stock
and of having given the sugar trust
protection in exchange for its big con.
tribution to the Cleveland campain
fund, makes him appear very friendly
indeed toward the administrat ion.
For instance, Senator Gray, chair
man Of the committee, is known as
chief Of the Senate ''cuckoos," and
man who would do more for the ad-
ministration than any other Senator.
while Senator Lindsay, the other Dem.
ocratic member of the committee, is
in addition to being cuckoo, known
as Carlisle's man. The significance
Of these selections will not be undera-
ted when it is remembered that Secre-
tary Carlisle, representing Mr.. Cleve-
land, has been from the first to the
last mixed up in all the dealings be-
tween the Democratic Senators and
sugar trust, Senator Mills, of Texas.
has publicly stated that Secretary Car
Isle gave the President of the sugar
trust It tier of introduction to him
and that he refused to see him whe n |
he called to present it. The Demo-
Gratis ask credit for being fair because
Senator Allen of Neb., was put upon
the committee, but they do not deserve
1t, as Allen has voted with the Demo-
Gratis on all political questions and is |
regarded as Democrat, although he |
calls himself populist. 1t is clear |
that If anything is shown up by this

ing can be shown up, unless witnesses
choose to tell what they know, the su.
preme court having some years ago de-
cided that a Congressional committee
could not compel them either. to testi.
fly or to produce books dealing with
ciizen's private affairs. That decision
is great consolation to more than
one Democratic Senator just now.
Another consoling thing to certain
Democratic Senators was the decision
by the committee to make the inyesti.
CATION secret, giving out from day to
day only such information as Senator
Gray may see ft. That means that

to fird out what is going on in that

Senator Gray's Blunder.


Senator Gray is man of calm judge
ment and much .expe rience Of public
life. He knows the trend and force Is
the currents of public opinion. He,
not, like many of his colleagues, both
ignorant and stupidity obstinate. How
such man as he could have commit
ted himself to star chamber investiga-
tion of charges made in public AMI be-
lieved by the people is difficult to un-
understand.
He must know by this time that he
has made a great mistake. But whether
be realizes it or not, the inquiry he is
conducting behind closed doors is an
utter waste of time. 1t will change
nothing and settle nothing. After it
is finished and its results reported the
demand of the for genuine investiga-
tion will lie just as urgent and insist
ant as if nothing had been said or done.
A secret investigation will simply
not count at all. The people distrust it
in any case. In such a case as this it
is recognized as wholly out Of place.
For what few Senators think of GER
tain other Senators the public cares
nothing. The object Of the investiga-
tion is to expose the guilty or to con-
vince the people that Senators are
not dishonest and corrupt. If this is
not its object it has none that is intelli-
gible. Does Senator Gray imagine
that he and his colleagues can 60 into a
room, shut themselves up, come out
after time with statement and have
that statement accepted?
Conclusions thus reached will not
be worth the paper they are written on
or the breath consumed in pronounc-
ing them. The investigation must be
fair, open and honest or it may as we'll
stop now.-N. Y. World.

New YoRK, Feb. IA special to the

gives the following information:
President Peixoto has issued decree
ordering elections for president, vice

The heads of the constitutional Tor

festo nominating Senior prudente Mo-
raes, of Sac Paulo, for president, and
Senior Manoel Victorino Pereira, Of Ba-
hia, for vice president. This manifesto
is signed by Senior Tomaz Delphino and
twenty senators. Both Of the candidates
named are civilians.
The declared cause of the revolution
was that Peixoto intended to be q candi-
date for the presidency at the next cleo
ton in violation of the constitution,
which, it is claimed, makes him ineligi-
bic to another term because he has filed
the office, and that he had planned to
maintain a military despotism. That
cause has now been removed.

without great difficulty. The commander

statistics of the treasury department,
has been sent to that body. 1t is an
elaborate report upon wool and manufac-
lures of wool. The following conclusions
are arrived at: No commercial and in

with wool. No other nation of the same
commercial or industrial importance inn

as the United States. Legislation short

the face OF the increase of the worlds

Protest Against the Whisky Tax.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-In the senate
today Frye presented a remonstrance

that the government should not enter

tions are that the Wilson bill will be
but little disturbed by the senate. The
decision is to extend the bonded period
on whisky and increase the tax to $l.20

leave the iron schedule as it is. The
question of sugar is still unsettled.
