What good purpose is subserved by
keeping the doors closed during the in
vestigation of the Senate committee it is
difficult to see. The substance of the
testimony leaks out from day to day,
and very little goes on that does not
sooner or later get to the public. AS with
executive sessions of the Senate, some
of the Senators habitually leak. If the
testimony reflects upon any of the Sena-
tors its Importance and weight is exag-
gerated by the attempt to conceal it. If
the purpose of holding the investigation
behind closed doors was to screen impli
Gated parties it has ingloriously failed.
The people know today just as well what
persons have been implicated as if the in
vestigation had been held in the most
public place and in the most public
manner. The attempt to screen them, if
there has been such attempt, has result
ed simply in exaggerating the import
ance of the testimony against them.

Senator McPherson's explanation of
how he happened to purchase a thous-
and shares of sugar stock is very inter-
esting. 1t seems he wrote a telegram Or
daring the purchase Of the stock and
left it on his table. He intended to de-
stroy it, but by inadevertance neglected
to do SO. His servant had received
general orders to gather up letters and
kilograms and forward them to their
destruction and he gathered up this
one. When he found out the
stock had been purchased he ordered it
sold. The Senator was the victim of
circumstances according to his. state
ment. But person of inquiring turn OF
mind might ask how he happened to
write the telegram in the first place. AS
for the sale of the stock the fact that he
made $1,000 by it suggests that there
might have been another reason for the
disposal of it except the conscientious
one.
The Portland daily press., 1894-06-05

The story given currency by the New
York Herald that the President was
very much displeased with the amended
tariff bill, and very angry with German
and Brice and Secretary Carlisle for
their part in changing the measure from
its original character, is much more
creditable to Mr.. Cleveland than the
denial of it, which has come apparently
from some of the Presidents near
friends. After Mr.. Cleveland's plea for
free raw materials and his de nunciations
of trusts he has good reason to feel in
dignant at the prospect of having bill
sent to him by Congress Democratic in
both branches in which some of the
most important of raw materials are
ON the dutiable list, on there by reas-
on of disreputable trade, and one of the
most important schedules of which was
inspired by the Sugar Trust, and ten
dered the committee by the hand of his
own Secretary of the Treasury. He has
cause to feel that he has been betrayed
by German and Brice and his own Secre-
airy of the Treasury, and has good ground
for anger. If he is not angry, if he
is placid and calm over this Reputation
Of the party's and his own pledges to
the people his spirit must have under
gone complete change, and his back
bone suffered remarkable collapse.
