HOAR'S CONTEMPT
Expressed for, Those Charges Of
Senatorial Sinfulness.
BAY STATE NAN MUCH INEARNEsT

When He Tells South Carolina That the
Special" Allegations Are Both Prepos-
ferrous and Infamous and Received by
All Good People with Absolute Con-
tempe"-Tillman Cont9kdes to worry,
However-Hawaiian Annexation.
Washington, June 15.-The senate de-
bate on the sugar schedule Of the tar
LII bill proceeded yesterday with only
one diverting incident to relieve the
monotony into which the discussion has
lapsed. This was the sharp exchange
between Hoar and Tillman, represent
ing the two extremes OF senatorial pro-
cedure. Tillman referred again to the
published charges Of irregularity in
connection with the sugar schedule, and
asserted that the senate would stand
convicted before the American people if
it failed to investigate the charges. Hoar
calmly and impressively repealed this
statement, his tone and language being
calculated as a rebuke. He declared
that the vague charges Of irregularity
were not only preposterous, but infam-
GUS.
Allen Blasts the Trusts.
Another feature Of the day was AL
lens blast against the trusts. He
charged that the trusts in the last cam
paign all opposed Bryan's election, and
that many CT them closed down
some of their factories to influence their
workmen. He named eleven trusts and
said they were capitalized at S432, 000,-
900 and bonded at $43 900, 600. while rep
resenting an actual investment of only
s111, 100000. He spoke of the trusts as
modern pirates" The assertion that if
the antitrust amendment prevailed the
revenue designed to be provided by the
tariff bill would collapse he said, was
absurd. and submitted figures to show
that the proposed duties on articles con-
trolled by these trusts based on present
importations would be but S., 0o0,o0 If
some remedy against trusts was not
adopted then the extreme remedy of
government ownership would loom up
as practical question. while that"
said he, sis socialism, yet socialism is
preferable to despotism."
absolute Contempt for the Special.
The Hoar-Tillmane episode occurred when
Hoar offered his amendment for the ap-
pointment by the president of commits
sion of five members to investigate into
the subject Of sugar production and the
best means of supplying the American
market at the least cost. The trainers
of the tariff bills were honorable men,
and although it had been suggested in
the press that somebody had been brib-
ing senators these statements are re-
ceived by serious people throughout the
country with absolute contempt"

TILLMAN STICKS To HIS MUTTON.
Insists That the Senate Should Prove That
1t Is Not HOrsethief.


Tillman replied to Hoar. He said
he had the deepest respect for the integ-
rity of the senator from Massachusetts,,
but perhaps he had become callous in his
long service, as was indicated by the
statement that the best people of both
parties treated with contempt the state
ment that therewas irregularity in max
ing the sugar schedule. On the contrary,
the people wanted an Investigation:
they wanted the honor of the senate vim
dicated or the men who slandered it
punished. For that reason, Tillman said,
he had contemplated an amendment to
Hoars proposition SO that the commits
sion would rot only inquire into the
mere machinery of sugar making but
also whether the sugar trust has used
undue means to control legislation, and
to get at the root of how it is, and why
it is that the American senate can't
touch sugar without getting contain
mated"
Hoar was instantly again on his feet
and turning to the South Carolina sena-
tor said there were some men who
seemed to think that down beneath the
body Of the people there was a great
mass Of seething people eager for ex-
tremes. He knew through and through
the character, purposes and opinions Of
the men who get their living from the
farms and factories Of Massachusetts,
They are" he proceeded impressively,
simple. sincere. honest, lfberty-loving,
God-fearing men. They think no evil,
and the appeal to vile passions falls on
deaf ears with Them The men who
make up the farms and factories were
the same the country over, he said. "And
hold" he concluded, that to the great
body of these people these charges are
not only preposterous but Infamous"
Tilman again made reply. While he
claimed no special mission, he had CONE
from the farm and the people and to the
senate more recently than the Massa-
chusetts senator. He knew, he said.
that the only thing infamous in this
transaction. in the view of the people,
is the refusal toinvestigate and this effort
to hide behind the senatorial toga" II
the senate persisted in this, then it was
disgraced before the people. Public
charges had been made that bribery
was abroad in connection with this SUBJ
1ect. and unless you investigate you
stand Convicted" asserted the senator.
Allison, in charge Of the bill, made an
other speech in defense of the schedule,
