The esteemed Intelligencer takes con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the sugar
scandal in the Senate during the con-
sideration of the Wilson bill occurred
while that body was technically Demo-
cratic. This is poor attempt at
shouting You're another" The SEN
ate then was practically Republican,
for not a step of progress was made
with the tariff bill without the consent
of the Republicans, who with the aid Of
two or three Democratic Senators held
the bill up and mutilated it to their
hearts content. We all remember Matt
Quay's speech a mile long, which ne
threatened the Senate with every time
it refused to do his bidding. We re-
member the same gentleman acknowl-
edging that he speculated in sugar and
would like TO know what the Senate
was going to do about it. In fact it
was with a few exceptions the same
sugar besmeared gang that is now de-
clining to investigate itself.
In this connection it is as well 20 call
