SHARP ACTION by THE DEMO
Gratis.
They Get the Republicans I'm n Bad
Hole Before Congress Adjourns.

The last week Of Congress was
hay raking for the Democrats IN
the House of Representatives.
They placed the Republicans on the
spit and toasted them to a rich
brown. In the first place the Hon.
John Sharp Williams, the able and
vigilant floor leader of the Minority
of the House, caught the Republi-
cans mapping in the committee on
the judiciary, and when there was
a majority of Democrats present,
and obtained favorable reports on
both his resolutions aimed at the
vitals of this Republican aGminis-
tration. One of those resolutions
requested the Attorney General to
inform the House whether any in
vestigation was ever had at his sug-
gestion, OF the so called Anthracite
Coal Trust, and to send to the
House all reports, papers and docu-
ments bearing on the case. The
other resolution requested the At
torney General to inform the House
whether any criminal prosecutions
have been instituted by the Depart
ment of Justice against the indivi-
duals oricorporations who were adj
judged recently by the Sumpreme
Court of the United States, in the
Northern Securities case, to be
guilty of having violated the laws
of the United States, and to send
to the House all papers and docu-
ments bearing upon any prosecu-
tons inaugurated or about to be in
augurated in that behalf.
These resolutions were sleeping
peacefully in the pigeon holes of
the desk of the Republican chair
man of that committee, and there
the Republicans intended they
should sleep and die of hamilton or
be smothered to death. They did
not want them ever to see the light
of day, because they knew their
recalcitrant Attorney General had
not taken any action in either case.
When it became known that John
Sharp Williams had dug them out
of the committee with favorable
report, and that the committee on
rules could not stifle them on ac-
count of the fact that they now
come up as priviledged matter,
there was CONSERVATION on the Re-
publican side, and many quick
conferences and much wagging of
heads. 1t was all too late. The
mischief was done and their Attor-
ney General will be shown up as a
tool of the trusts and recreant to
his oath of Office, for which he
ought to be impeached. Let the
people of the country note and re-
joice at leadership on the Demo.
cratic side endowed with vigilance,
brains and patriotism.

FIom oul resaIar eo,respondent.

From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, DC. May "a 1905
After fretting and worrying for
two months the Republican party
has finally selected a manager OF its
Fall campaign His name is Theo.
dore Roosevelt, aud his pseudonym
is George b. Cortelyou. IT cannot
be that Mr. Cortelyou is anything
more than a mask for the real mana.
ger, for he is politician who has
never had anything TO do with poll
tics, a manager who has never
managed, and statesman who has
practised statescraft only a few
months and has never attended
caucus or convention except in the
guisc of photographic reporter.
He is an amiable official but what
he doesn't know about the steering
of parties and the arts of Mark
Hanna, will be likely, il he escapes
from his keeper before the ides of
November, to cause CONSERVATION
in such old stagers as Frye, Quay,
Foraker, Fairbank, Cannon, Platt
and Grosvenor. Barely eight years
ago the youngester graduated from
Columbian University and almost
his entire experience has been ac-
CURED as a shorthand writer and
executive chamberlain. The Demo
Gratis In Congress and out who still
linger here indulge in a broad smile
of acquiescence when the new
Republican manager is mentioned.
MIR. Cortelyou's successor at the
head of the Department of Com
merce and Labor very likely will be,
at any rate should be, General
Carroll d. Wright, a publicist of
long experience and great ability
who has been Commissioner of
Labor these twenty years, and as
masters of economies will add
real strength and dignity to the
Cabinet

Another strong man who develop
ed during the late session of Con-
gress is the Hon. John F. Wilson.
the delegate from Arizona. His
speech on the statehood bill was
one of the strong deliversnces of
the session. He conclusively show
ed up the hypocrisy and lying de-
ceit Of the Republican majority in
their attempt 10 force bill through
Congress that would make two states
out Of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, as one, and New Mexico
and Arizona as the other. They
deliberately went back on their plat
form promise Of 1900 IN order 20
obtain a little political advantage,
and Mr.. Wilson showed il up to
the ohargin and confusion Of the
Republicans. Putting Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory together
was all right, as the people Of those
two territories asked for IL, and il
was the desire Of the majority Of the
people; but to force the two terri.
tories Of New Mexico and Arizona
together against their loudly ex
pressed wish and thus utterly dis
regard those wishes was unjust and
unpatriodc. Mr.. Wilson showed
that both Arizona and New Mexico
have ali the qualifications Of Amer.
can states; they have greater re.
sources, more people and an ed.
ucational character as high as that
Of half dozen of the sisterhood Of
the Union and there IS no more
valid reason for Jumping New
Mexico and Arvona than there
would be 60 combine New York
and New Jersy The Republicans

The experience of the first days
sale yesterday of the furnishings Of
Stewart Castle, the home of Senator
Stewart of Nevada, suggests that
the season is not propitious for
throwing upon the market a lot Of
elegant and costly furniture. While
many people were in attendance at
the auction, the bidding was slow,
and the prices obtained far below
the real worth of the articles. Rich
tapestry curtains were knocked down
for Sz2 window; solid mahogany
tables went for $40, cabinets sold
for S22; magnificent pieces Of Chi
nese embroideries for s5a; copies of
famous Madonnas in Florentine
carved and gold frames for Ss7,

The announcement of the Sup
rene Court decision unfolding the
action of the New York immigration
authorizes in excluding the an
archist Turner from this country
causes sharp discussion here. On
the one hand il is held to be an
invasion of personal rights and
denial OF tree speech, and on the
other, TO be no infringement of free
speech but an exercise Of that right
which every nation possesses to say
who shall and who shall not come
across its borders. These last hold
that an American anarchisn would
not be subject to the same decision,
and that his right to speak freely
would have to be decided on other
grounds. In London socialists and
anarchists are turned loose in Hyde
Park and allowed to mount the
benches and harangue the null
titudes to their hearts content.
