THE SCANDAL OF THE SEASON

The episode sprung on the floor Of Congress- by Mr..
Richardson of Tennessee leader of the Democratic minor
ty is a very unpleasant for the American people
and will prove very shocking if not found untrue Mr.
Richardson was very conservative and dispassOnate He
talked and acted like of his grounds He did
not claim even that he believed it to be true But OF
its Official authenticity be doubt Such
report was officially by Mr.. Christmas to the Dan
ish government viii have to be cleared up The
names mentioned implicate high in authority Rich
ardson in resolution asking for investigation says
1T is alleged Still the charge is uncomfortably direct
The Democrats correct in their assertion that the
honor country is stake These charges Of the
bribery Congressman and others to the tune Of half
million dollars were published in Denmark month or
more ago. And it now seems that the London Times had
commented upon them at the time. Why they haven't
reached the public ear country this is ncom
prehensble.
However there is one thing about the scandal which
in being inexpcabe comforting In the first place the
American people being practically unanimously in favor
of the acquisition Danish West Indies why should
there any incentive demand for bribery?
Nobody being against the purchase in out Of Congress-
why employ the enormous sum of half million dollars
to brbe Congressman into doing just what they were
going to do anyway? Again, far as the treaty en-
bracing the terms the transfer Of the possessions is
concerned has nothing to do with it farther
than to appropriation Of the amount agreed upon
An investigation may show that Christmas who was act
ing as diplomatic agent the like, had got into
deal which in being about to involve him crmnay made
the report the Denmark government which now
becomes subject of investigation in Congress. 1t is
evident on its face that victmzed to the
tune of half million dollars but the American people
will have to be shown before they believe that such
money went into the hands of United States officials and
Congressman.
