Mr.. Chapman was not the only re-
calcitrant witness before that senator
ial committee. Mr.. Hayemeyer and
Mr. searles, as the great men Of the
Sugar Trust, were asked to state the
amounts of contributions made by the
Trust for political purposes. They
absolutely refused TO answer the
question. Their trial for this refusal
has been postponed, out will probably
begin in June. II may very likely
be found, as their lawyers claim, that
they cannot be punished, inasmuch as
the question they refused to answer
does not of necessity involve the dig
nifty and privileges OF the United
States Senate. Nevertheless we have
reached an extremely unfortunate
stage in our political life when great
corporations can with impunity make
secret gifts to the political funds cf
the opposing parties and can defiantly
refuse, when on oath before a commit
tee Of the United States Senate, to
give the facts. Il cannot be a right
thing in public ethics, nor ought it to
be possible under the law, for corpo-
ration to contribute to the campaign
funds Of any political party. 1t is
worse rather than better for a great
corporation to contribute at the same
time to the funds OF opposing parties.
Such conduct would seem to indicate
a purpose to poison all political and
public life at the very source. When
great corporations like the Sugar
Trust stand ready to pour out vast
sums Of money for purposes Of politi-
cal influence, premium is at once
placed upon the control OF politics
and Legislation by bosses and ma
chimes. The existence Of these secret
funds supplied by corporations that
can afford TO pay fabulous amounts
for farorite legislation, causes great
uneasiness among honest men. Hard
~ another situation 50 fraught with
danger has arisen since the founda-
ton Of the Republic. 1t cannot be
that rich men who win thus promote
their selfish interests at the expense
OF the dignity and honor of the state,
are entitled to be considered good
citizens. Review OF Reviews.

here by mob, kicked and cuffed down
the stairs and out OF doors to the near
est tree, and, more dead than alive.
vas strung up over the heads of the en-
ragged people. For an hour his lifeless
body was left suspended, and then, by
order Of the mayor, was cut down and
placed in wooden box.
Mitchell's crime was an assault com
United on Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, widow of
the late publisher of the Urbana Dem
ocrat. Mitchell had been sentenced to
serve 20 years in the penitentiary-the
extreme penalty prescribed by the Ohio
law-for his crime.
News of the intended attack on the
prisoner reached the officers of the
court in the afternoon, and they called
on the governor for militia TO protect
Mitchell. Troops were ordered out
and when the mob attacked the Jail
they fired, killing Harvey Bell and Up
ton Baker, fatally wounding Wesley
Brown and Zach Wank, and injuring
seven others.
The feeling is intense against the
sheriff for allowing the national
guards to fire on the people, and there
is very general approval of the work
of the mob.
The sheriff denies responsibility FOR
the shooting, and so does the captain.
On the other hand, the citizens assert
that the sheriff himself fred the first
shot.

The tariff debate as far as it has
gone has been particularly pleasing
to the republicans Of the house, be-
cause most OF the schedules which
have been adopted are nearer what
they were in the Dingley bill as it
passed the house than they expected
them to be when the amended bill was
reported to the senate. There is re-
port that Senator German is at the
head Of scheme to delay the final
passage Of the tariff bin until Septem-
Der, because he prefers making his
campaign in Maryland before the peo-
pie have an opportunity to see the
good effect that the new tariff will
have upon business. However, the
democrats have not vet shown dis
position to DELAY the bill.

A CURRENCY PLAN.
Outline of Scheme Which Secretary
Gage Ii Perfecting.


New York, June IA dispatch from
Washington says Secretary Gage is pre-
pairing a financial measure to be sub
mitted to congress next winter. In pur-
suance of this plan he has sent out a
letter TO 200 leading bankers and mer-
chants inviting suggestions for placing
the currency upon a sound basis. In
outline the scheme will embrace the
gradual retirement of the greenbacks
and the substitution of national bank
notes therefor; allowing national banks
to issue to the full limit, instead of 90
per cent, as now; reducing the tax on
national bank circulation from one per
cent. to one-fourth of one per cent, and
limiting the denominations of bank
notes and all other paper money to ten
dollars, and substituting silver for all
below ten dollars. There will probably
be a provision for branch banks, and
there is suggestion that state and
municipal bonds may be used as basis
for not to exceed so per cent. of the
note circulation,

An Unexpected Termination of the
Spanish Ministerial Crisis.

Spanish Ministerial Crisis.
Madrid, June The queen regent
has confirmed Senior Canovas, the
premier, in his ministerial powers. and
the cabinet will remain in office with
personnel and policy unchanged. All
the leading members of the senate and
of the chamber of deputies who were
consulted by her majesty, as well as
three marshals. have advised the recall
of Capt. Gen. Weylcr from Cuba.
At a cabinet council held Sunday
afternoon at his residence Senior Cano-
vas, the premier, announced that the
queen regent had renewed his powers
and those of the cabinet in terms most
flattering to him and all his colleagues.
1t is understood that the govern
ment does not contemplate any imme-
date change in the supreme command
in Cuba. The surprise and displeas-
u1s OF the various sections of the oppo-
sition are not easy to describe.

The Snow Melting Chinook.

In the northwestern states pecu-
liarly warm, dry wind, called the Chi
nook, which has wonderful power
of seating up" snow, occasionally pre-
walls, and a remarkable visitation of
this wind occurred in Oregon and
Washington last December. Prof.
Ward. writing in Science, calls atten-
ton to the close resemblance between
the Chinook winds of the Cascade
and Rocky mountain regions and the
celebrated toehn winds of the Alps.
Both blow down from the mountain
ranges, and both produce effects, in
the sudden liqueiaction of snow, that
are almost marvellous. There is nc
mystery about them, although they
require particular conditions of atmos
pheric pressure, combined with Ger
tain effects arising from the position
of the mountains with respect to the
isothermal lines, or lines of equa
temperature.
