cratic member of congress from theCo-
lumbus (O) district. Congressman
Grosyenor, of Ohio, once very properly
characterized him as the most bitter
and vindictive enemy of the president.
Lcntz had Il number of worthy al
lies. Chief among them is Congress
man SuIzer, of New York, known to
his colleagues as "the BoWcry States
man." In the disregard of all that
marks courtesy among men, kindness
and gentleness among associates,
Lentz has but one rival. That rival is
SuIzer. These men dominated the dem
ocrats of the committee. They made
it plain TO them at the outset that this
was not an investigation that should
investigate. 1t was an investigation
that should besmirch. Messrs. Hay,
Jett and Slayden and other democrats
Of the committee had no desire to
handle pitch. They willingly left the
conduct of affairs to those whose ma
ture fitted them for the work which
had been cut out. They allowed Lentz
and Sulzer to have ii their own way.
1t was their investigation. They had
given the assurance that this was TO
be one !gr;sld blot on the escutcheon OF
the administration.
The witnesses of the "Wosecution"
began to arrive. LentZ made no con-
cealment of the fact that they need
ed drilling. Ostensibly he was one of
those to sit in Judgment. He quickly
threw off that mask. He Eobnobbed
IL L. 4 hon,
He drilled them. He remained up till
the wee small hours to get their sto-
ries out of them and to teach them
the manner in which they could be
most effectively told. He was with
them heart and soul. Why? Because
it was his purpose to show that
great wrong had been done. Surely
a philanthropic motive. But the adj
mintstration. at all hazards. must be
connected with this great wrong. Of
what use, otherwise, would be the eX-
posure of this great wrong?'
The plan of the conspirators was
soon made evident There are a num-
Der of lawyers on the committee on
military affairs. They knec' that the
only way to conduct legal inquiry
was to conduct it on legal lines. The
laws of evidence may sometimes not
be understood by the layman. But
they are based on the best experience
of generations. They go directly at
that which is relevant, important. ac-
ceptable. They reject what is imma-
terial. irrelevant and not to the point.
TO govern the examination in ac-
cordance with these rules would have
brought the investigation to too
speedy a termination to suit the pur-
poses of the conspirators.
Hearsay testimony, from the be-
| ginning, was their choicest morsel.

A REMARKABLE CASE.
Coeur d. Alene Inquiry Used by
Democrats for Politics.
Lcntz and SuIzer Dominated Their
Party to Besmirch the Admins
tration-Hobno with
the Witnesses.

One of the most remarkable investi-
cations in the history of the United
States congress has drawn to a close.
1t began on the 10th of February in
the house committee on military af-
fairs. 1t has ever since occupied the
attention of that committee. practically
10 the exclusion of everything else
with the exception of the appropriation
bill.
An inordinate desire to make "po
litcal capital" to manufacture new
political issues" was the handspring
of those who demanded this investiga-
tion-ostensibly an investigation of
the conduct of the United States mil
itary in the Coeur d'Alenes, Shoshone
county, Idaho, after the dramatic oc-
currences of April 30, 1899, and the
dissensions, conflicts and crimes that
preceded that date. The. prime mover
in the conspiracy to drag the present
administration into a huge scandal
for a conspiracy it was, beyond a
doubt-was John j. Lentz, a demo-

TWO STATE CONVENTIONS.
Kentucky Democrats VIII Hold Them
III the Near Future-A Wide Open
Primary Assured.

Frankfort, Ky, May 25.-Thc dem
ocratic state executive committee
held a meeting here Thursday after
noon and issued calls for two state
conventions. The first will be held AT
Louisville June IA for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the democratic
national convention. The other will
be held at Lexington July 10, and at
this convention a democratic candi-
date for governor will be nominated.
Gov. Beckham'S friends, it is under
stood, favored only one convention,
this to be held the last week in June,
but the proposition for two conven-
tions carried by a majority of one.
The call will be wide open, as sug-
eestcd by Senator Blackburn, and
will invite all known democrats who
pledge their support to the ticket and
platform in November to participate.
There was great deal of discus
sion among the leaders as to the
proposition of Blackburn and others
regarding proposed changes in the
state platform with reference to the
election law and other things, but
not enough to give a definite idea of
what the state convention will do on
this subject.
Gov. Beckham yesterday signed the
commission of Senator-elect Black
burn and that document was mailed
to Washington last night, to be filed
with his credentials, which are pend
ing before the senate.

The Consular Service.

Mr.. George Parker. the biographer of
Mr.. Cleveland. who served as United
States consul al Birmingham, has a
magazine article in which he declares
that the consular service is impaired
by the political pull. The manner in
which Mr.. Cleveland looted the con-
sular service for his political friends
was outrageous, but. as one of the
beneficiaries. Mr.. Parker displays con-
siderable nerve in posing as a critic
of the pernicious system. Had the gen
tIeman taken the trouble to inquire
he would have ascertained that under
the present administration candidates
for consular positions are required to
pass examinations and the political
pull is no longer guarantee of an open
door

A FOREIGN LOBBY.
Is Now Hard Mt work in Washington
to Defeat American
shipping.

The foreign shipping interests, and
their free trade mercenaries. who are
fighting the shipping bill, have en-
deavored to unite the democrats in
congress in opposition to the bill and
in advocacy of free ships. This scheme
has been neatly nipped in the bud by
a number of patriotic democrats who
are members of the house merchant
marine and fisheries committee. and
who have united upon a report on the
shipping bill in which a few not unac-
ceptable amendments to it are pro-
posed, and in which report subsidies
are declared to he the only practicable
means with which to revive our mer-
chant marine. This democratic msi-
nority report contains the emphatic
declaration that free ships are imprac-
ticable and unworthy of consideration,
as being a policy that the democrats
themselves refused to adopt when they
had the chance, and which they never
would adopt. Besides the report says
it is well known that republicans would
never consent to such legislation, as
it would be ruinous to American ship
yards. Thus defeated and checkmated,
the humiliation and embarrassment of
the foreign shipping lobby and its free
trade friends must be acute. This
democratic minority report declares

that company will be located at Web

FnyornhIe Trade balance,

The balance of trade in favor of the
United States during the present ad-
ministration has reached the incredible
sum of S1.4s3,OOO, 900. an amount that
passes the power of comprehension. The
balance of trade in favor of,the United
States, during all the administrations
that preceded that of Mckinley, from
Washington to Cleveland inclusive, was
$3s3,000.0 GOO. To put the matter in an
other way, the three years of the Nc
Kinley administration have seen a
trade balance $1,1O0,O0O.000 greater
than was accumulated during the CEN
tury preceding his Inauguration. The
advance agent of prosperity has made
good his promises, has done ten times
more than he promised, and the peo-
pie who know good thing when they
see il will be slow to change such a
certainty for doubtful promises.

prison official has ample oppors
tunity for an exhaustive study of
CT III II o o g Y.
Therefore new
freVehti'h' book by Rev. Au-
gust brahms, chaplain at San Quen-
tin, Cal, entitled "The Criminal" is
a work which commands wide recog-
milton as a scientific study of the man
behind the bars. Some of his conclu-
sions, well substantiated by long OBJ
servation, are very interesting, while
in the main confirmatory of those of
other investigators. Organically, we
are told, all crime has its source in
anthropological sources. IN time,
the personal factors may become so
assimilated with the social mass as
to almost lose their personal identi-
ty." The social element then becomes
as fully the feeder of the criminal
propensity as the more strictly per-
Eonal propensities. The greatest pro-
portion of the crimes of civilization
are of this kind. The tluctuation of
Industrial and economical enterprise,
the hardships facing the wage-earner,
are often a direct invitation to crime.
"Intemperance is the chief source of
crime, both directly and indirectly.
The decrease in the use of alcoholic
drinks must ever remain the great
aim of all anti-criminal legislation, as
well as of moral and social reform"
The author is strongly in favor of
state industrial and employment bu-
reaus, to aid the working classes to
obtain work and if necessary furnish
tools and temporary assistance. Cali
fornia has such an institution which
in one year assisted 5000 individuals
to employment Money thus eHpend-
ed by the state, under government
subsidy and inspection, will flow
back again into its resources, where
as in pauper support and almshouses
it represents only dead capital and
congested outlay in gratuitous,
though laudable, charities"

"Had YOU ever heard that ths Bunlnr"
Hill and Sullivan mine (the mlne
whose mill was destroyed by dyna-
mite on the occasion when two men
were murdered) is controlled by the
Standard Oil trust?" That was one
of the gems propounded by Represent
ative LentZ, who is said to be law
yer. 1t was purely hearsay. The pur-
pose of the question was malicious
one. 1t was intended to arouse the
preiudices of those who oppose the
trusts. The question, like many other
similar questions, was put at the die
tation of the correspondent of GER

to build up ''story" on it the next
day. 1t was the kind of story that
his paper wanted and Lentz was will
ing to feed the public just that kind
of poison.
One of the republican members
meekly objected to the question.
Lentz and Sulzer turned fiercely upon
him. aha, we thought So! Trying
to protect the trusts? Afraid to let
the truth go before the people? Gag

CARTER MEDICINE co. WINS.
Obtains Injunction in Case Involving.
Stimulation of Labels


Brent Good, president of the Carter
Medicine Company, yesterday received
a telegram from his lawyers in Chi
cago, informing him that a final in
junction, with costs, had been granted
against the Chicago Label and Box
Company. This company makes spe-
cialty of manufacturing labels, boxes,
etc, for druggists. The Carter Com
pany has been following them through
the courts for two years on the COM
plant that the label company was
making simulations of the labels of
Carter's Little Liver Pills. They have.
now obtained a final injunction, with
costs, and the costs are very large, as
the case has been submitted to a Mas
ter in Chancery for final accounting.
The Carter Medicine Company has
been the first and only one to prosecute
printers or engravers who have pre-
pared such labels and wrappers. 1t,
marks a new departure in infringement
cases, and their victory is one of great
importance to the whole proprietary
trade" and also of interest to retail
druggists.-N. Y. Press, May 2, 1900.

Physicians say that there is no per-
son who can retain his or her mobil-
ity of character under long-continued
bodily distress. The argument that
some invalids and cripples have beau
tiful dispositions does not apply, for
the reason that although such per-
sons imagine themselves in constant
pain, there are really long intervals
of relief and uuietude.
