THE STORY GRAPHICALLY TOLD.
Showing the HoIlowness and Hypoc.

Before Congress.
Special Correspondence OF rmr TINES,

WASHINGToN, d. c., Feb. "a.
The Republican leaders in Cong
ress are just now enjoying the
heartiest kind of a laugh at the
manner in which they were fooiing
the Democrats and the remainder
of the country ancnt the socallcd
antitrust legislation they are now
engaged in showing through the
Congress of the United States.
They are entitled to the laugh.
People usually laugh at farce,
aud If ever there was a farce enacted
on the Legislative stage III the hls-
tory of this country, II IS being
done now in the capital of the
nation. While all of this is going
on under the lime light of publicity,
the only people who see the fun are
those behind the scenes and the
dear people on the outside and II
front of the stage are made to see
an entirely different performance,
The dcludcd people think they are
witnessing a real anti trust per-
formancc. They seem to see TIN
trusts crawling into the outer dark
ness and shivering in terror les
Republican legislation should wip'
them from the face of the earth, rol
them of their privileges, and return
to the people that of which the,
have been robbed. This gives tin
people hope for the future and tha
