Letters to The Editor.
Senator Morgan's Examination Of M
 Iamnre
Washington, Jauual

AampTS'
 Washington, January F, 1902 Editor The Advertlser:
 In your issue or SuAday last appears a reprint of q Washington .speclal to The New York Hines concerning the exami- nation by Senator Morgan or M. Lampre of the Panama canal company Tnis ar ticle does Senator Morgan an injustice, and is inaccurate In some Of It's state- ments. The hepubiican member of the Canal Committee interviewed, or having himself interviewed, makes the statement that when the Senate was reorganized Mr. Morgan was allowed to retain the Chairmanship of this Committee because he would have felt hurt it he had been depcSed. This is untrue, for The Record will show that before the last session or the Senate adjourned Senator Morgan rendered his resignation as Chairman on the floor of the Senate. This. of course. Is a refutation of the charge that it was through a desire to be considerate of his feelings that he was not deposed. In the examination of M. Lampre, a verbatim report of which has already been printed, Senator Morgan only went after the truth in his usual method of handling unwilling witnesses, and he got it His careful study of the subject of the canal and his thorough knowledge of all the details thereof led him to the very positive belief that the Panama peo- pie are seeking to unload on to the United States a busden of obligations which they
 
 they intend to defraud the French peo- pie who own stock in this company. This he succeeded in forcing M. Lampre to virtually admit during the examination, and developed the further fact that the Panama Company had only their own holdings to dispose of. which were a small part of the entire stock.
 This member of the Committee who speaks through The New York Times, and inadvertently through The Advertise CT, is very evidently in favor of the Pan- anna route. and his assertion that the Canal Concmittee is probably more in favor of the Panama route than the oth- CT Is clearly a case of the wish being father to the thought.
 I may be pardoned for saying that the above is not the result of any interview with the Senator on the subject, but a simple statement of facts that are known to the reading public of Washington. l presume The Advertiser will take pleas ure in thus permitting mo to refute the implications of a hostile paper derived from an equally hostile source.

About Modern Hogs.

Lafayette Sun.
 The modern hog is. the one whose bristles stand out most prominent, whose snout is as long as the Sand Mountain rooter. whose nose Is stuck into every corner, whose grunt makes cold chills run up and down your back, whose every shuttle is for self and whose greed is greater than that of the money lenders of the East. This hog is a resident of every town. He Is as mangy as a yell low hound. as stingy as miser, as mean as the devil. and as great an enemy to good things as one can well be. This hog is no friend of ours. He grunts to greatness he steals the swih that should go to others, and he is worthy of naught but contempt This hog has no pedi- gree and his future Is for hell and not heaven. Why be hog at all? If a hog why not be a gentlemanly hog?

The Savage Thinly Disguised,

nIiduelpHid Noie LII AHleIlcdn.
 If Robert Fitzsimmons had stuck to his legitimate trade of blacksmithing and had become as celebrated for his ability in hammering iron as he has in pound- ing his fellow-men he would never have been wined and dined by members of society. It is simply the tribute of the savage existing in nearly all men to the more powerful and aggressive brother who has not allowed himself to be ham, pered by any process of civilization The thin veneer of civilization and refinement Is everlastingly peeling off and exposing the nativej savage underneath. There $ something brutal in most men waiting an opportunity to crop out.

John Alexander bowie, who appears

John Alexander Dowie, who appears to be playing the prophet business for all there is in 1t. recently made this some what significant statement:
 hold in my hand. and in the various financial and commercial institutions which l control, the moneys of the widow and orphan. I hold the money of those who have worked hard to get that money.
 The newspapers lately have contained charges that Dowie has been holding the money Of others with good deal more tcnacity than was agreeable to them. That seems to be one of his fortes-to hold the money of others. It is claimed that he has some 60,0OO followers and that they have entrusted him with their mon ey and other property. There are others who claim that he is holding money of

GETTING A MOVE ON.

The tunnel accident on the New York Central has not by any means ceased to be subjct of interest. and the deeper the matter is looked into the less excuse can be found for it. For example. The Hart ford Courant says;
 The further the inquiry about the tun- mel goes the plainer it becomes. first that the tunnel is hoReiessly dangerous, and, second. that the authorities knew this. It was testified at the coroner's in- quest that engineers for years had been complaining that they could not see the signals. that the only way to meet this trouble was to slow down and that en- gineers who were late in reaching the de- pot were deposed from their engines and relegated to the place of firemen. It was also said that there was no regulation as to speed and that trains sometimes went at fifty miles an hour there.
 It is a shocking story and it is not to be wondered at that the officials of the some action looking to the safety of the public. The directors are proposing to substitute electricity for steam. but George Westinghouse, who certainly has no inconsiderable knowledge of electri- city. declares that, if a single track only IS used, there will be a constant danger attending the electric motive power which the public is ignorant of He calls atten- tion to the fact that, to successfully op- crate such heavy and frequent trains as are necessary on that line, very powerful electric currents must be used, and this Will naturally require very large wires. Consequently there Is a danger which he thus specifies:
 It should be borne in mind that the electric energy required to operate heavy train Is sufficient to melt a con siderable bar of iron. or to start a dan gerous fire, if anything goes wrong, upon 'a car of ordinary combustible construc- uon. much more readily than the car stove, the use of which has been abol- ished by law. Therefore, if a collision were to occur between two electrically fitted trains each having several combus- tible cars thereo: fitted with electrical apparatus and carrying electrical circuits throughout, there could be an accident or so serious a character as to start an agitation having for its purpose the abo- Htion of the use of electricity altogether. or at least to compel the railway com pahles to aDandon the use of combustible cars fitted with electric motors
 The Railroad Gazette practically agrees with MT. Westinghouse. and argues that if single track electric line is used. the cars should be made as far as practicable of metal and all the woodwork effec- tually fire-proof. From all of which it appears that, whether electricity or steam Is used. assurances of even comparative safety can only come through a double track system. But something will be done. for 1t looks now as though the limit of forbearance has been reached
