Fifteen members of the last Illinois
Legislature have made affidavit 20 the
fact that they know of their own
knowledge of the use of money by
Chicago corporation lawyers and their
agents to pass the infamous Gas Con.
sOldation and frontage bill and the
equally Infamous Warehouse and Elc.
vator bill.
That there will he an official investi.
cation by the Legislature goes without
saying.
The people of Chicago are in arms
against the Gas Trust. which Is rob
bing them right and left by virtue Of
the Infamous law giving It a monopoly.
which was passed by the most bare
faced bribery.
The farmers and grain dealers of the
state are In arms against the infamous
warehouse and elevator law. which
was passed through the most bare.
faced bribery.
So that the chances for an investi-
CATION are good.
And an investigation will send sew
cral learned gentlemen 10 the states
prison.
Among the witnesses who can be
secured and who will testify are some
who will directly correct the legal
bribers and their go-betweens with the
members of the General Assembly.
1t takes three years TO outlaw a
felony. and the three years which
would outlaw these Gas Trust ana
Elevator Trust felOnies will not be up
before 1900.
SO that there Is plenty of time for
the committee 10 meet and bring In its
report and for the grand jury to indict
the legal and other bribers and to start
them for Joliet before two of the three
years are over with.

ABOUT POLITICS

changes in the vote. he said that III
his Senatorial district in 1896 the Flu

Democratic majority was 3.o34. The
change of over 4.500 votes in two years
is nothing less than IA revolution.

More Improvement.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company has opened a new
freight terminal with yard facilities at
the foot of West Goth Street on the
Hudson River in New York City. A
large plat of ground between Goth and
9th streets fronting on 18th Avenue
was secured and tracks were laid to ac-
comodate 100 cars, and in addition a
warehouse S0Ox25 feet was built.
Tracks have been laid across 18th Ave
nue. to the pier, and new bridge and
other necessary adjuncts have been
built to facilitate the handling of cars
from floats to the land.
The establishment of this terminal
enables the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road Company to gather business fr ON
the extensive lumber yards and the
piano, structural iron, boiler and other
manufacturing industries in that vicin-
ity. The delivery of freight for firms
in that neighborhood is also facilitated
by the improvement.

M,KINLEY,s FIRST YEAR.

The first year OF the term of President
Mckinley has ended. Can any reader
recall presidential ad dministration in
which as large a number of promises
made have been fulfilled in single
year? There was q promise of improve
ment in business, and business has i'm
proved. There was promise that the
financial integrity of the country would
be maintained and that more currency
would be put into circulation and this
has been done. There was a promise
that a new tariff law would be enacted
and the receipts of the Treasury made
to meet the expenditures and this prom
ise has been carried out There was
further promise that under this new
tariff, industries would be revived, and
this is apparent in the large number of
reports of new manufacturing estab-
lishments and increased wages paid by
old ones. 1t was promised that this
increased activity would bring an ad-
vance in prices of farm products and
this promise has been completely full
filled by an advance in the price of
practically every article produced by
farmer. 1t was promised that with
this increased business there would be
greater activity among railroads, which
employ such vast numbers of people
This promise has deem redeemed. The
earning of 80 principal railroads. which
ha ,,onptb of To 1907 1para
twelve and quarter millions were in
February, 1898, s1S,7OO OO0 The mon
ey in circulation has increased more
than fifty million dollars and the gold
in circulat tion has increased thirty-seven
million dollars. Wheat has advanced,
corn has advanced, rye and barley have
advanced, so have oats and butter and
wool; in fact everything that the farmer
produced. The only article which has
fallen has been silver. The President
and his party took the most prompt
means possible to redeem the pledges of
the partywith regard to this question by
sending a commission to the great nat
ions of Europe asking their cooperation
looking to the restoration of silver to
its former standard, the preliminary
steps for this action having been taken
even before the Inauguration of Pres- |
dent Mckinley. That proposition was
declined and it now remains to deter
mine what future steps can DE taken
in that line, and whatever can be done |
to that end will be. In other matters
outside of business the dignity and
honor of the country have been main
tanned. EyeruAmerican citizen confined
in Cuban prisons has been released.
The promise of prompt action in regard
to Hawaiian annexation has been kept
by the President and his associates
and final action is only delayed by
Senate controlled by those opposed TO
the President and his party. The dig
nifty, the honor, the safety of the nat
ion haye been maintained in the face
of critical conditions regarding our re-
lations with Spain and the people OF
the country today, irrespective of par
ty, commend the Presidents attitude
upon this subject and rejoice with him
in the successes which have attended
the first year of his administration.

After Telling the Story of the KiondiiSe
window to the Mayor.
The woman who was arrested at the
Union Depot by Officer Lanam Tues
day night, and who gave her name as
Mrs. Emma Ford. appeared before the
Mayor Wednesday morning and told
her story substantially as printed in
the Leader, insisting that Mr.. Kauf,
who had her arrested, was trying to
detain her in his saloon aud in
scuffie the window was broken. She
was released, but the Mayor will
probably investigate the affair further.
There are a number of interesting
facts connected with Mrs. Ford which
have come to light. In the first place
her name is not Ford, but Allison, and
size belongs up the Muskingum a
number of miles. She is grass
widow and claims that she does not
know the whereabouts of her husband.
1t is reported thai she has been main
tanned by a certain business man here

order of Mr.. Kauf she was waiting at
the Depot to take train to Parkers-
burg in company with another man
and had just had dispute with Mr..
Kauf. Strangely enough, she was
released from the city prison less than
two hours after being arrested, though
by whose request we are unable to
discover.
We are informed that about two
weeks ago she and Mr.. Kauf had some
trouble and that she attempted to
shoot him, but only inflicted harm
less wound upon herself. The lady,
who is rather handsome is certainly
having stormy time.
In connection with the affair, we
have received the following:
Marietta, O., March 16.
Dear Sir:
In the issue of the Leader this morn
ing see my name brought forward as
taking prominent part in the break

was not in the saloon when it was
broken and did not in any way try to

stead) l hope you will correct the
mistake. Yours truly,
