pany, on an ex parte hearing?
There was no showing but this i'm
pudent petition Of the intended bene-
f1ciary The most reckless public off,
cfal does not customarily take action In
voiving millions OF dollars without some
inquiry. some investigation. If not on
behalf OF the public. then in defence
of his own good name. Bridges was re-
CURED to look into the facts; to know
what grounds existed for granting or
denying this request What did he do?
Instead Of seeking for facts, instead OF
demanding a showing by both sides
from which diligence or the lack OF 1t
might be inferred, he took counsel OF
none but the petitioner: he broke faith
with the public; he granted the COM
pany's monstrous demand on the same
day that It was made. neither asking
nor permitting the introduction of evil
dence TO show whether or not It had
exercised that due diligence upon which
alone his action must be conditioned
These are now the facts Of record.
When they are examined in the light
OF contract whose charges and In
terest rate in this year 1900 are simply
Ubiquitous, they wither every wretched
pretence Of explanation. The full
weight of this scandal. unparalleled in
the history Of Washington, rests upon
Bridges and those who are responsible

cable can be laid to the Philippines by

commercial aspect this cheaper route,

A Poor Pedigree.

The Democrats OF New Jersey, in their
anxiety to get away from IS to l. adopt
ed a strange resolution. 1t declares in
favor OF that bimetallism that has
been advocated and supported by the
Democratic party from its inception to
the present time This has the ad-
vantage Of evadng an awkward issue,
but 1t is delightfully."- vague. What Is
the "blmetallsm advocated by the
Democratic party?"
In Jeffersons time as we learn from
his own lips. 1t was the use of gold and
silver coined a. ratio corresponding
to their commercial value. Sometimes
that ratio was IS to / and sometimes
l5i2 to /, and always 1t varied. Then
did not disturb Democratic thoughts at
ali but the party was the strong sup
port and defender Of inconvertible legal
tender paper notes Metallic money
dropped out OF the reckoning Follow
ing this there was the period when
Democrats supported every measure
looking toward depreclating the cur
rency uuti II advanced boldly to the
platform of silver monometallism where
1t stands TODAY.
This Is only temporary resting
place The logical and necessary goal
OF the free silverite is strictly fiat paper

The senate has discredited itself and
disappointed the country by postponing
next winter. We can assure the
friends OF Mr.. Clark" that the per-
formances of that eminent boodler will
not be forgotten or forgiven. Every
friend Of the United states senate, how
ever, regrets that II has so far neu-
tralzed the excellent effect OF its re-
port against Clark by its refusal TO
kick him out of the seat to which he
never had legal or honorable title.

Friends Of Fraud.

Opposition to measures for the pro-
lection of the public from injury or
fraud, IT, those measures happen to
have a Republican parentage, has
reached the proportions of mania in the
Democratic party. We have seen it turn
tail on its pretensions OF hostility to
trusts, and line up as their defender
when a constitutional amendment to re-
strain them was introduced by Repub-
licans. Equally convincing is its oppo-
sition to the oleomargarine bill report
ed to the house
The subject Is an old one. its merits
thoroughly canvassed. Every one knows
imitation OF butter and Is made of ami
NAL fats and other ingredients. When
properly manufactured, II Is a whole
some article Of food. But II is not but
ter, any more than asbestos IL Sleeps
wool. Great quantities of Il have been
put on the market and sold as dairy
butter. It is colored to resemble the
genuine product, and the purchaser
with difficulty detects the difference
before consumption. In this way the
manufacturers have enlarged their mar
kets and done great injury. through
false representations, to the dairy in
terest of the country.
1t has proved practically impossible
TO correct this evil through state legis-
lation. The present federal law is not
able to cope with It wholly. The ma
jority in congress propose a tax OF 10
cents per pound on oleoma rgarine col
Gratis oppose IT, why? The only rea-
sons they give do not touch the issue
at all. They say that oleoma riga rine
may be SO made as TO constitute a

with It's manufacture or sale in the
slightest particular

by Railway and Telegraph
Near Honingspruit.

London, July 24.-Cen. De Wet has
again succeeded in cutting Lord Rob-
erts' communications, both by rail
way and telegraph, and captured 100
of the Highlanders. The story of the
federal commanders bold raid comes
in the form of telegram from Gen.
Forester-Walker, dated at Cape Town,
Sunday, July %, forwarding a dis
patch frors Gen. Knox. as follows:
"Kroonstad, July 22-Following from
Broadwood sent by dispatch rider to
Honingspruit. wired thence to Kroon-
stad: Have followed commando since
July 16. Hard, sharp fighting at Palmiet-
fontein, July 10. Prevented from pursu-
ing laager by darkness. Eight hundred
Beers found. Our casualties five killed
and 76 wounded. Reach Vaalkrantz to-
day. Enemy doubled back through
Paarde Hral in darkness. Shall march
tomorrow to Roode Vaal station. Send
supplies for 5000 men and horses, also
any news of the enemy's movements. I
believe the commando consists of 1000
men and four guns and is accompanied
by President Steyn and both the De
Vets

way north of Honingspruit have been cut
and also the telegraph to Pretoria via

nation De Wet has crossed the railway

BARK IS CUT IN TWO.
with n Vessel-Eleven of Crew
Are Drowned.

Liverpool, July 23.-During a dense
fog off Holyhead Saturday morning e
the Cunard liner Campania ran down
the bark Embleton, of Liverpool. Sew
en- of the crew of the Embleton were
saved by the Campania's boats, but II,
including the captain, were drowned.
Although the liner was going dead
slow, on account of the fog, she went
clean through the bark.
The great engines were stopped and
reversed. Two lifeboats of the Cam
pania, filled with brave men, were
lowered into the fog and the appar-
emily hopeless search began.
The passengers waited with impa-
tience for sign from the lifeboats.
1t seemed as though hours had passed
before they heard a shout and soon
saw one of the boats at the side As
the occupants were raised to the deck
it was seen that seven of them were
strangers. These men were members
of the crew of the bark Embleton
There were II more of the crew to be
accounted for, including the captain,
but all search was unavailing.
