TiIlman's Censorship of the Press IL
Strongly Denounced.

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Mr. Grosvenor
of Ohio introduced in the honse resolu-
ton for special investigation of Gov
ernor Tillman's action in South Carolina.
Mr.. Grosvenor said concerning the resolu-
tion:
ut is the first time In the history Of the
government that a censorship of press
dispatches has been established. During
the darkest days Of the war men were
free TO send their dispatches from Wash
ington and elsewhere, without supervision n
or censorship. The right Of free press
was regarded too sacred to be invaded by
n censorship.
The public suffers as much as the press
by such action as that charged against
Governor Tllman. My resolution seeks

state has in intercepting and suppressins x

A Chapter Of Corruption.

The corruption in police circles un-
covered by the Lexow committee in
New York almost surpasses belief. 1t
is worsess than anything that occurred
under the reign of Boss Tweed.
The story of Police Captain Creedon
is, in some respects, pathetic one.
The captain was charged with paying
$15, 600 as a bribe to one Reppenhag-
en-, who was the dispenser of Commits
sioner Voorhis'sy patronage. Creedon
through this bribe secured his office.
When first called to the stand he de-
MED the charge, but after consulting
with his family and friends he made a
clean breast of the whole business the
next day.
The captain said that he had been
on the police force thirty years. In
1879 he was made sergeant, but he
found that there was no chance OF ris
ing higher. His ability and merit
were acknowledged, but they counted
for nothing. The higher Offices went
to the men who could pay for them.
Finally. after growing gray in the
service, he yielded to suggestion
made by Reppenhagen, who told him
that for $4,000 he would guarantee
him a captaincy from Voorhis, the
well-known leader of the faction call
ed the New York Democracy of the
Voorhis Democracy, in an ally OF
Tammany Hall.
Creedon felt that he deserved the
place, and that II would have been
given to him long before but for the
corrupt methods the in vogue. So,
he put aside his scruples, raised the
$4,000, paid it to Reppenhagen. and
received the appointment from Voor-
his. All this he told the committee.
with expires sions OF regret for having
yielded to temptation.
The committee knew the captains
record. He has distinguished himself
as gallant union soldier, and had
three times passed civil service ex-
animation with a high percentage. As
a policeman as an officer he had been
faithful and efficient, and the charge
OF obtaining his Office by bribery was
the only accusation ever made against
him.
At the conclusion of Creedon' 9 state
ment Mr.. Golf, the chairman of the
committee, informed the captain that

house saw him and his boys very
busy shaving hoops. At this place l
was in vited to ..get down and have
your horse put up and you stay to din
ner, ,and then we want you to read some
of your Old Times to us; we don't take
any paper; so We want you to read to
u.s." At this house 1 saw lying on the
bed large pile of home made linscys
jeans and other clothes. The woman
said, Il have made forty yards of
clothes this fall, and ! am now going
to make my family's clothes" l
looked at the clothes, and they were
nice: some in red and black checks,
some plain. At every farm I passed l
saw flocks of sheep.
When got to my old friend SIS
house, whore stayed the last night,
he was out en- a two or three days
hunt, over on Crane Pond and Leath-
erwood. just at dark he came home.
He had killed no deer, but he heard
hounds running dee-. tell you no
man can expect to kill deer in these
brush and thickets. The woods are
so thick you can't see a deer. Well,
don't you think, when we sat down to
supper, saw a great big plate piled
high with honeycomb. Doc. said, Il
am fixing up the fences and am MAX
ing straight fences. 1t don't take SO
many rails, and we can cultivate clos
er to the fence than with the old-fash-
ioned crooked fence" He said, '.You
see that honey" and as he said SO he
passed the plate. He said, That's
wild honey. I cut down tree for
stakes. When it fell 1 saw the bees
coming out of the body way up, and l
got out fine lot of honey"
In the morning Isaac showed me
some leather he had tanned. He said,
1--WE killed little beef and sent the
hide to town, and we got 80 cents for
it. 1 said, I'll tan my own leather"
and this leather was just as soft and as
tough as any l ever saw. 1--WE havn't
got up to putting on the polish yet,
but pair of shoes made of that leath-
er will look just as we'll as store shoes
after wading through mud day or
Well, I came home that day, and
felt as though had had good visit
all around. So good, l will try it
again some day. T. P. Il.

services to his country, he would not
be disturbed In his precinct. The
spectators applauded this announce
ment. Then, Reppenhagen took the
stand and confirmed Creedon's story.
About this time it was learned that
the police commissioners had suspend
ed Creedou from duty. Mr.. Goff stat
ed that he had sent for the commission
ers to explain their action. Again
the spectators applauded, rising en-
masse. Later, q commissioner made
his appearance and promised that
Creedon's suspension should be revok-
ed.
More cheering followed this. and
still more when MIR. Goff told the cap
tain tha. the committee symphatized
with him and did not believe that the
public interests required his suspension
or dismissal.
Altogether this is black chapter OF
corruption, and yet it is dramatic
chapter full of exciting incidents. The
scene in the courtroom was remarka-
BILE one. The committee and the spec
tators knew that Creedon had bribed
police commissioner to give him an Of
fee. They knew that such an action
was a crime. and yet they could not
find it in their hearts to condemn a
good man and a brave soldier who had
gone wrong. almost in self-defense. 1t
seemed to them that the captain was
not to blame for purchasing his Office
when corruption ruled everywhere in
police circles. On the contrary, they
felt that it was fortunate for the city
that the captain had been able to raise
the money.
Thus the matter stands at present.
Creedon's offense is condoned. but
Voorhis, the bribe taker, will find him
self in hot water. In plain English,
the decision of the Lexow committee
is that the general corruption in New
York police circles sometimes makes
it necessary for a good man to adopt
corrupt methods in order to obtain the
just reward of his merit. atlanta
