VIII 1t BE a FizzIe z

The Ohio Senate is making very little
progress in the work of finding out wheth-
err or not Senator Hanna secured his cleo
ton to the United States Senate by brib-
cry. The opinion is quite freely expressed
that the investigation will prove to be
flzzle.
All of the witnesses who have been
Summoned have refused to answer the
questions put to them and it is doubtful
if they can be compelled TO answer 1t
looks now as If the question as toswhether
the Senate can compel a witness to give
testimony would be carried into the
courts. In that event about the only peo-
pie who will profit by the investigation
are the lawyers, in all probability, be
cause the matter win be kept in court so
long that the public will lose interest in
it, and when the public ceases to care
about 1t the politicians will drop it.
There are undoubtedly many members
of the Ohio Legislature who believe that
money was used to elect Senator Hanna
"a great deal of money. But believing
and proving are quite different things. On
account of his wealth Senator Hanna
Yields immense influence. The most of
those who were closest to him during the
senatorial contest, no doubt feel that it is
to their interest to protect him, providing
they are in the possession of information
that is injurious to him. There will be a
great deal more in the public prints about
the bribery investigation but it is doubt
full if there will be anything more definite
than has already been published. 1t is a
pretty hard matter to get a man out of
the United States Senate who has been
regularly admitted TO a seat in that body
There have been many senatorial cleo
tons which have emphasized the neces-
sity for taking the election of United
States senators away from the legisa-
lures and giving it to the people. The cleo
ton of Senator Hanna probably made that
necessity more clearly apparent than any
other. The change would be a genuine
reform.

Tammany,s Plans.

The signs are multiplying that it is Mr..
Croker's purpose to make Tammany Hall
the dominant influence in the Democratic
party. That was one of the things he had
in view when he established the Democrat
ic Club. 1t is said that ne has greatly mod
flied the organization of Tammany with
the view of fitting it for wider field Of
activity.
At the dinner given recently to Mr..
Croker by Mr.. George f. Harding at the
Democratic Club, Mr.. jefferson Levy spoke
of the club as the future national home
of a united and triumphant party" When
the club was established the Morning News
pointed out that there were reasons for
thinking that it's influence was not to be
confined to the politics of New York state
and city. One of the reasons was that lead
ing Democrats in all parts of the country
We're invited to become members of it.
Nothing authoritative has yet cropped
out as to whether Tammany Will favor
the Chicago platform and the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan in 1900. 1t is pretty safe to
say, however, that it will not, but will
strive to bring about a declaration of prin-
ciples which will command the approval of
the entire Democratic party and the NOM
nation of a Presidential candidate who
will be as popular in the East as he is in
the West and the South.

would make friends with ex-senator Hill

making Tammany the very core of Dem
ocracy Mr.. Hill is not yet back number.

one candidate for the Democratic nom
nation for Governor is in the field He
makes the announcements of his purpose
to stand for the nomination in a letter
which we publish this morning. The part
OF the letter which the people will find
most interesting is that in which he re-
fers to what the Governor can do to-
wards stopping the steady increase in
the rate If taxation In his opinion there
has been extravaganza in the administra-
ton y he state government. and he
thinks the time has come for the exercise
OF economy--for putting on the breaks,
as he expresses it.
The sentiment in behalf of his candi-
dacy would be greatly strengthened if he
could give some assurance that if elect
ed Governor he could bring about a re-
duetion in the tax rate, or at least pre-
vent any further increase in it without
cutting appropriations for worthy OBJ
Jects-objects which have the approval Of
the people.
He admits that he does not see much
chance for reducing the appropriations for
schools, asylums and pensions for veter-
ans, but he thinks there are leaks which
could be stopped-leaks by means of which
a good many thousands of dollars get out
of the treasury annually. He doesn't di-
rect attention to any particular one of
these leaks, but the presumption is he
could do so il necessary. He SAYS that
in 1888 the state levy was only % cents on
the hundred dollars and last year the
levy was more than double that amount
The increase of the rate in the different
counties has kept pace with that of the
state. Therefore, the state and county
rate has more than doubled within fifteen
years. When the people paid a state tax
of % cents on the hundred dollars. cotton
was selling at 1O14 cents pound, but
they paid a state tax of more than 50
cents on the hundred dollars last year
when cotton sold as low as Az cents a
pound. Such a steady increase in the
rate of taxation as has been going on dur
ing the last fifteen years, Mr.. Gambler
thinks, means "confiscation and ruin"
Mr.. Gambler would have increased the
strength of his letter If he had named
some of the leaks which could be stop
ped and pointed out how the rate of tax
alton in counties could be kept within
reasonable limits. If he had said, for
instance, that he favored only one session
of the legislature every two years, thereby
saving the state q large sum of money,
| and made some practical suggestions rel
ative to keeping down county taxation,
he would have appealed more strongly
to the people than he does in the gem
eralities in which he deals
The letter, however, is skilfully and
carefully written and will do much to
help Mr.. Gambler attain the object he has
in view.

Senator Deboe, although a Kentuckian,
is not to the manner born, because he has

gested that Deboe go with him out to the

that kind of sport. You see, l never saw
a horse yet that could not, if he were put
to it, beat another horse"
Blackburn looked at his colleague in
blank surprise. Then he made an ex-
clamation that would not look well in
print.
No said Deboe, conclusively. there
isn't anything in a horse race. Sometimes
the horses may come in even, but gener-
ally speaking, when a horse is put to it,
he can beat another horse"

A queer New England Betrotha1.

Hawthorne found romance on the shores
of old New England. and there is a good
deal of it unminded in the modern life
of the Yankees, says the Youths Com
panion. The following story of love and
marriage, strange as it may seem, is
known to the writer TO be true:
Years ago summer boarder at cot
tage on point of land which formed the
protecting arm of the harbor of a fishing
town i'm Massachusetts was shown a girl
baby only a few months old. He look
ed at the babe and admired; then said to
the mother:
"Will you give me that babe for my
wife?'
The mother had known the young man
for sevral summers; she liked him, and
therefore answered promptly, yes"
'Will you promise never to tell her that
you have selected me as her husband?"
yes"
The conditions of the singular betrothal
were observed. The girl baby grew up,
and summer after summer the young man
courted her. When she was IS he mar
ried her, and not till then did she know
that she had been betrothed TO her hus-
band while in the cradle. Can old ro-
nance be more romantic than this story
of a New England fishing town?

Beating the DingIey Law.

Some of the members of the ways and
means committee are laughing heartily
over clever scheme which has been put
in operation in Boston to evade the duties
of the new Dingley tariff, says the Wash
ington Post. 1t seems that just before the
law was passed q syndicate of Boston gen.
tlemen purchased a mineral spring near
Toronto intending to ship the water into
this country under the low tariff of the
then prevailing law. Mr. Dingley, how
ever, placed duty of "A cents a gallon
upon all imported waters, in order, prob
ably, to nourish the infant industry of
springs in the United States. and the Bos-
ton men were nonplussed. The tariff was
practically prohibitory, and the mineral
water investment seemed doomed. In their
dilemma they went to an attorney and
asked him if he could get them out of the
fix.
perhaps so" replied the lawyer, after
a few moments thought. Would it hurt
to freeze your mineral water?'
The members of the syndicate wondered
what was coming, but they replied that
they did not know.
"Well," said the attorney, $50 and freeze
some of the water, and then let me know
whether its medicinal properties are in
jured."
The water was frozen and the report
was made that there was no apparent
change. Then said the shrewd lawyer,
''you need not trouble. Simply freeze the
water in Canada, and import it into this
country. There is no duty on ice"
II was a fact. MIR. Dingley had retain
ed ice on the free list, and the Canadian
mineral water now comes across the Dor
der in solid chunks 1t pays less freight
and it does not require casks that are
worth 81 a piece. The syndicate saves "A
cents on every gallon, and the lawyer is
going to Europe ON his fee.

is there trying to influence legislation in

expenses are to be paid out of the national

Senator Bacon's proposition, that the
Hawaiians shall have the opportunity of
saying at the ballot box whether or not
they desire to be annexed by this govern
ment is eXcellently' good. as 9far as it
goes. but it does not go far enough. 1t
should have provided also that the people
of this country. who would be saddled with
the Hawaiian debt and countless other ex-
penses and veXatlons by annexation,
should be given an opportunity to say at
the polls whether they desire the annexa-
ton of the islands. There are good rea-
sons for thinking that If the annexation
scheme were submitted TO the people of
this country it would be Overwhelmingly
defeated. 1t is the purpose Of the schem-
ers, however, TO prevent anything like a
popular expression of opinion on the mat
ter, either in this country or Hawaii.
