A DISPATCH in yesterdays Gazette
from Richmond said: 1.-The outlook IS for
a practical suspension OF legislative
business pending the Judge Campbell
investigation. This is greatly to be
regretted, and it is quite certain that had
the constituents of the members known
that the time of the legislature would be
fooled away in such investigations
MANY members would never have been
elected. The Crawford Campbell matter
is one with which the Legislature has
nothing to do. Rev. Mr.. Crawford
violently assailed Judge Campbell in
publication and the latter soundly
trounced his assailant. Judge Camp
bell was tried in court for the attach
and was acquitted by his peers. If Mr.
Crawford was not satisfied with the re
suit the courts were open to him and hi
could have brought suit for damages
but he failed to take such steps, and nov
the legislature is to stop all public busl
ness to Investigate" the affair and thu
neople of the whole State are to suffer
considerable loss, as every days ses
sion costs nearly a thousand dollars
The legislature lowered its dignity whel
II started in this matter and the bes
thing it can do is 10 be rid Of it a
soon as possible.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr. Dolliver stirred up the Senate to
great interest yesterday by advocating
the ratification of the pending reclproc-
ity treaties and declaring that the re-
nnblican Senators who have been de-
Tending Governor Dingley from the
charge that he put higher duties in the
Dineley bill in order that they might be
reduced by reciprocity arrangements
were doing something that was super
Auous. Senator Deliver, who was him
self member of the ways and means
committee which framed the Dingley
bill. declared in his loldest tones: Gov
error D,ngley did MT put duties up for
the express purpose Of having them
brouch. down by means OF reciprocity
treaties.'
This vigorous statement, made in de-
fance of all that the republicans have
maintained in answer to Senator Vests
assertion Of precisely the same character
greatly delighted the democrats.
This statement caused Mr.. Aldrlch t.
yehemcntIy denounce Mr.. Deliver anC
I
Others for making it. The only inten
ton. he said, of the reciprocity pro
vision of the Diugley law was for thu
purpose of securing agreements on non
competitive products, and he contendec
that it was not to be expected that a re
republican administration would nego
tate treaties which would strike at tn
heart of protection.
The army appropriation bill was before
the House yesterday. Two hours tim
was taken upin discussion OF trusts AM
tariff. the army bill hardly being men
toned. General Grosvenor, of Ohio
and Champ Clark, of Missouri, engage
in a rough7and-tumble discussion i
which Clark routed his opponent.

TT THE Mormon Apostle Smoot is
elected to the U. S. Senate by the legs
lature of Utah he will be seated. 1t was
announced long ago that a bargain had
been made by the Senate republican
leaders with the Mormons in Utah, IN
which it was agreed that Smoot should
be accepted by the Senate, in event OF
his election, provided the Mormons IN
Idaho and other western States voted
with the republicans. The MormonS
have carried out their part OF the agree
ment and if the Senate leaders refuse 10
seat Smoot they will not only be accused
of bad faith, but their action will array
the full strength of the Mormon vote IN
the west against the republican party
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, says the
combination of the republicans and the
Mormons is matter of common know
ledge. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, who
represents a State where the Mormons
are an important political factor, and
who was a republican till recently, says
"there was a bargain between the Nor
mon leaders and Senator Hanna, In ac'
cordance with which the former were tc
support the republican party, and be
left to manage their local affairs with
free hand" But when thepeople OF Utal

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. IA. 1908

THE Norfolk and Western and some
others railroads have filed with the H.
terstate commerce commission their
answers to the request of the commits
sion for a statement of reasons Tor the
increase in freight rates by the trunk
line railroads on grain, packinghouse
products, dressed meats and other
articles. The Norfolk and Western
says:
"Our enormous traffic has taxed the
resources of the company to the utmost
and equipment additions are needed
Material advances in wages OF employees
have been made and other advances are
in contemplation in the near future.
The increases in freight tariff, according
TO this answer, are necessitated by tne
advanced price of material and the
partly advanced price of labor and a
steady increase of about 500, 0OO per
annum in taxes. The demands OF the
nublic are stated to be increasing, and
the ONLY thing that the company has 70
sell is transportation"
This is a clear admission that the road $
business is increasing at rapid rate
and that it could well afford to lower,
rather than to increase its rates. Wher
corporations increase the pay Of theil
EMPLOYEES and then tax the general pub
lie to meet this raise their boastet
philanthrophy becomes mockery an(
their actions only little short of whole
sale robbery. No wonder the feeling
against some corporations is becoming
so embittered.
