MIR. FAULKNER's VIEWS.
81 think senator Kyle is thoroughly salts
fled of the truth of the charges he has
made. He is an honest, straightforward
man, and l respect him very much. He
might have followed different course in
getting the matter before the Senate.
The charges The Times makes are very
grave. though, and should be examined
into"
Mr.. Kyle is certain he will get his resolu-
tioD through. Already great interest has
been aroused in the Senate. A number of
Senators shaveexpresscdt to hinItheir earnest
desire to see the sweat hop business ex-
posed. They wan. the resolution TO go
through, and will help it with their vote.
