There can be no dispute between
Democrats as TO the fiscal manage

in the magnificent institutions of the
commonwealth. The only division Is
concerning the shocking venality dis
covered in the legislative departments
of municipal and state governments.
The revelations Of official corruption
in ST. Louis and Missouri make what
the Democratic party and what Inc
people of Missouri are going TO do
about il a burning issue. After all
this corruption has been laid bare can
the Democratic party afford to go
on as IL nothing had happened? What

Bribery Developments.

There came TO st. Louis in 1898 a
capitalist from New York seeking a
franchise covering nearly all the
streets Of the city He came like a
thief in the night. with tools of green
backs and gold. He paid to the Mu-
nicipal Assembly se5O,OOO.OO in brides
to get this franchise. Twenty-Five out
of twenty-eight members Of the House
of Delegates took brides Of 100000
each Seven members of the Council
were given from sl0.OO0.00 to SIT $780,
90 each tor their votes. One Coun-
Gilman took s25,O0O,OO from opposing

chise: then accepted from the promo

measure. Upon receipt of the latter
sum he returned the first amount to

members of the combine. received
100000 each for their votes. For
still another franchise the combine OF
the House of Delegates demanded
SIS 100000, which was put in a lock
box of a trust company. one key be-
ing held by the representative OF the
railroad and the other by the agent OF
the combine. the agreement being that
the money was TO be turned over TO
the members of the combine in the
House of Delegates when the ordi-
nance should be passed. This $4,000
90 is in the lock box now, having
been caught between the lines. and
has been produced in court during

this railroad for members of the City
Council. This likewise has been pro-
duced in court and counted before ju-

There were combines formed in both
branches of the Municipal Assembly
for the purpose Of getting money for
the votes of members of the combine

that he could not keep it, as he did
not think he could honestly" earn it
by voting against the bill Upon re-
fection he likewise returned the $780,
10000. with the suggestion that $780,
0G0.00 was the digrified amount he
wanted In the hope of receiving this
he voted for the bill and finally. after
many trials and trbulations, he sue

seven members of the Council we're
paid a regular salary of 100000 a
year each by street railroads to serve
them instead of the people. The pro.

him quarter of million dollars in
brides. and sold it for 81 $50 100000.
The city received not a cent for al.

An ordinance to light the city was

Jefferson did not create the principles Of

to Chairman J. v. Mahoney Of the West
ern, Trunk line committee. The letter
speaks for. itself and reads: - S
You are doubtless aware that the
Minneapolis mills have closed down, and
one Of the principal features of the cause
of their shutting down is the discrimina
tion Of the rates from interior points as
compared with Minneapolis. Some six
weeks ago two or three meetings were
held with a view to reaching an under
standing by which the rates might be
equalized, and at a meeting held in Chi
cago compromise agreement was made,
but a few days later one Of the lines
party to the agreement gave notice that
they would not stand by it.
The difference in favor of interior
points runs from ~ cents per hundred
weight to 5 cents per hundred weight.
I'VE have told the Minneapolis millers
that we were willing to do anything in
our power to place them on an equality
with competitors, and we have, therefore,
decided to take action. 1t will be neces-
sary to publis Ta rate Of 7k cents per
hundred weight on flour and mill stuffs,

request that you call a meeting at once
for the purpose of considering the prop
osition, so that all may understand our
position Ell.
&Ther Is only. one thing for the other
lines to do and that is to reduce their
rates to those put in by the Great West
|ern. The line mentioned in the Great
Westerns notices to the trunk lines as
having abandoned the agreement is be-
lived to be the Northern Pacific.

Lockport, . N. z, April 21.-one week
ago Sunday Rev. Benjamin M. Nice. pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church, a
Princeton graduate and successor to Rev.
Anthony H. Evans Of New York, installed
system Of transmitting the service by
telephone to persons kept at home by Ill
ness or otherwise. The idea proved ex-
ceedingIy popular. Yesterday the Home
telephone exchange connected nearly 200
persons with the pulpit by wire. Mr.. Nice
was in the midst Of an eloquent fight.
when there was a flash on the phone near
him. The fuse had burned out and the
entire circuit of listeners throughout the
town heard sharp click. The telephone
company claim that malicious persons
tampered with the electric circuit.
Moreover, the stay-at-home worshipers
charged that they heard very impious re-
marks over the telephone. They heard
such things as: Have drink, !" Get
glory by wire and even profanity. It
was learned that many persons in saloons
and other resorts asked to be connected
with the church and talked into the trans
mitter to shock the devout people on the
circuit. Hereafter the telephone company
will connect only accredited subscribers
with the pulpit.

. ing, Washington.
Washingt ton, D. c., April 21-The inter-
state commerce commission is paying
close attention to late developments in
flour transportation in Minneapolis and
the northwest generally, and is prepared
to- exercise the powers vested in it by
law to relieve the millers Of the handi-
cap imposed on them by the railroads
The commission has jurisdiction over
railroad rates, but not over the water
rates between Duluth and Buffalo, where
the discrimination against flour is made,
according to the statements of millers
interested. The commission would prob
ably take jurisdiction in some case in
volving the through rate on shipments Of
-four, say from Minneapolis to New York,
as part Of the transportation would be
by rail.
/ It is possible that the commission will
take the Initiative in Investigating dis
elimination in rates on export flour and
grain AZ decision was rendered, in eff
feet, that the rate on flour to the sea-
board might be two cents per 100 pounds
higher than the rate on grain intended
for export But so far as known, the
