THAT Senator Stone, of Missouri, is
a professional lobbyist and has served
as the legislative agent of powerful mo-
nopolies debating legislation by unlaw-
full and corrupt means" is the charge
formally filed against him in q United
States court.
IT seems that the question at issue
between the Republicans OF Washing
ton, Beaver and Lawrence counties
over the method Of makingicopgression-
al nominations for the district. is not tc
be decided until after election. Senator
Penrose. as chairman of the state com
mittee, has said that he will not take
the matter up at present, as no nomina-
tions will be made until next year.
As already explained the controversy
between the counties will be decided by
Chairman Penrose. and enough is
known Of his views to justify the pre-
diction that he will sustain the conten-
tion Of Washington county. We are in
favor Of the popular vote plan as being
fair, honest. open, both to the candi-
dates and party; free from suspicion
Of corruption and bribery: satisfactory
to Republican voters and making no
factional splits In the party.
There is little doubt that Senator
Penrose will settle the question In favor
Of the popular vote plan, which viii be
very agreeable to Washington and Law
renee counties. California, Pa. Senti-

Pennsylvania Railroad Makes
Confession to the interstate
Commerce Commission.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The PennsyI-
vania railroad. the Pennsylvania COM
pany, the Delaware, Lackawanna &
western and the Lehigh Valley have
submitted to the interstate commerce
commission reports that the increases
IN freight rates on grain, grain prod
ucts. dressed meats and packing house
products and a few other commodities
are merely reservations to a usual or
reasona bic basis and are justified by
increasing expenditures. The Pennsyl-
wanna railroad admits that during the
SIX months ended Jan. 1, 1902, il par
I!clpated IN the payment of rebates on
shipments originating at points west
o Plttsburg to the extent of approx
mately $4,000. From then until June
5Oth last the Pennsylvania saws it paid
no rebates. While the cost of material
and labor is an important factor in
Justifying its restoration of rates af-
1eeted by the increase the Pennsyl-
wanna points to the increased cost of
operation due to the difficulty of NOV
ing an abnormally large traffic.
The Pennsylvania company saws that
aIIowances or rebates approximating
SSO.OOO or $4,000 were made from July
1: l5Ol. to Jan. 1, 1902, but none have
since then been granted Since MAY
ISL last the average rate of wages has
increased about 81 per cent The
Pennsylvania company estimates that
az the advance in the rates on grain.

provisions will increase its revenues
