MANILA, June II, $40 p. m.-The

EX-SENATOR HILLS STATEMENT.
He Says Lockwood's Imputation Stands on
Nothing Substantial.

Albany. n. Y, June lex Senator
and Ex-Governor David B. Hill. who
was at the head of the defeated Demo-
cratic state ticket the year that Judge
Haight was elected with the rest of the
Republican state ticket, said last night
concerning l.. NJ. Lockwood's testimony
in relation to Judge Haight's election
given before the Industrial commission:
Judge Haight was elected in the fall of
1894. At that election l headed the Dem
ocratic ticket for governor, leading a
forlorn hope, and presumably recollect
the campaign very well. The Democrats
had to contend against the hard times.
the silver panic, the Wilson tariff fasco
and disclosures of municipal corruption,
as well as divisions among Democrats
themselves, ar of course the result was
n Republican cyclone, as everybody knew
it would be.
THE Republicans needed no immense
corruption fund, either from the Stand
ard oil company or anybody else. to
elect their whole ticket. L recollect that
at the time there was some criticism,
principally by a coterie of Populists, of
a decision which Judge Haight had once
made as supreme court justice in Buff
falo. but 1t attracted no particular at
tention in the campaign and was re-
garded by myself and by Democrats
e5neTally as unworthy OF nOllCe. Al any
rate it cut no figure in the canvass,
Judge Haight being elected by 123.924
plurality over a most able and popular
opponent. Judge Haight receiving 671, 259
votes, while Governor Morton received
only a few more. to-wit: 613S1S
1T is absurd for a Pennsylvania at
this late day. who can naturally have
no personal knowledge of the matter of
which he assumes to speak, to assert
that Judge Haight was either nominated
or elected III New York through the con-
tributions or efforts of the Standard OIL
company. 1t Nerifies the old saying that
one must go away from home to get the
news He was elected because the tide
of that year-in New York as well as
everywhere else-was with his party
and he was nominated because of his
high personal character, his efficient
judicial ability and unquestioned integ-
rity, conceded by the whole bar and peo-
pie OF the state; and as fair political
opponent it gives me pleasure to say

Justice to the Negro.
aside from force there is a regular
organized society of white men and COL
ored women, for which the colored
women are as much to blame as the
white men. These particular colored
women have long since concluded that
they would rather wear diamonds and
ride in carriages of their own than to
chop cotton or wash for somebody else;
and be it said to the discredit of this
class of colored women and their white
gentlemen associates that they are liv-
ing in clover. The poor whites of the
south are not to blame for this racial
amalgama ton, for they and the blacks
do not associate. They mutually hate
and scorn each other. 1t is the blue
vein aristocracy of the south that is
creating havoc with the morals and So

Develops Instant Contradiction.
Washington, June 19.-The feature Of
Saturdays session of the Industrial
commission was the testimony Of L. II.
LockwEsd an independent oil producer
| of Pennsylvania. He denounced the
| Standard Oil company and railroad Of
| fcials as highwaymen. If you have
got u be robbed" he declared, lit does
not matter much whether you are held
| UP by a Dick Turpin with a pistol CT
| by John Rockefeller with a railroad; it
| is robbery all the same" He declared
that the Standard Oil had driven the
| independent refneries into bankruptcy
| and seTvitude, and he denounced the
course pursued in severe terms. He
held the railroads especially responsible
for this condition of affairs. They had
| carried Standard Oil products at less
than half the price charged to the
independent refineries. He quoted \.
a. Cassatt, the new president of the
Pennsylvania railroad, as testifying be-
fore the interstate railway commission
to the effect that, while the open rate
to the public was $50 per barrel, the
rate to the Standard company was so
cents
Makes an Attack on the Courts.
Further investigation, he said, had
shown that the Standard actually paid
but 80 cents. thus giving that company
a profit of 400 per cent. and driving into
bankruptcy the independent companies.
He said that men who had carefully
analysed the testimony taken before the
Hepburn committee estimated that in
1S6 months time the five trunk lines of
Pennsylvania had paid the Standard
company 81 .OCO. coo in rebates. Speak

said it was in public ownership of the
railroads and it was not to be found in
the couTts-the courts We're too slow
and expensive. He added: The COM
bines elevate their instruments TO high
er places politically" Thus it was that
the thought OF the common people was
gradually becoming fixed to the effect
that the great railway combines were
gradually packing the supreme courts
with men in sympathy with their mo-
nOpolistic tendencies and VINO would co
their bidding.
Companies Care Not for the Law.
IF the railroad companies can con-
troll the appointment OF the attorney
general and of justices of the supreme
court, what do they care for the law?'
the witness asked. He considered all
the railroads of the country as prac-
ticauy one gigantic trust, and asserted
that they We're in control of our politics,
contributing millions to elect eS-slators,
senators and judges and to punish those
not willing to do their bidding. If the
government did not control the rail-
ways the railways would control the
government. He advocated the taking
of the roads under the right of eminent
domain, paying the owners the actual
value of their property.
