LABOR AND POLITICS.
Mr.. Jno. 81. Brinkman Advises Against
Coalitions

Politics and the consideration of local
affairs entered into the business of the
Central Labor Union at Its regular ses-
sion, last evening. at Typographical Tenn
pie Mr.. John H. Brinkman of the Car
riagemakers Union. who is regarded as
one of the most active and conservative
local leaders, made an address on the
coming presidential campaign. His sug-
gestions We're the result of much thought
and it was the unanimous opinion that. IL
followed, they would make for the amelio-
ration of the laboring classes.
Mr.. Brinkman announced that the union
men of the country are not particularly in
terested at this time in any one candidate
for the office of President. He impressed
upon the minds of his auditors that the
laboling people should not cling to a party,
but TO principle He appealed to organ
lied labor generally to steer clear of any
utilization with a political party. In his
opinion the workingmen, after a thorough
investigation of the platforms of the va
rious parties, should throw their strength
to the party Offering the best inducements
and make 1t their business to see that
pledges made before the election are full
filed afterward.
The address of Mr.. Brinkman caused con-
siderable discussion of politics.
The union adopted resolution petition
ing Congress to reduce the price of gas in
the District OF 10 cents thousand feet.

at Upper Marlboro charged with assault
with intent to kill Richard Holland, also
coiored. at the store of ex-Sheriff B. N
Hardesty. at Colling.on, Prince Georges
county, on December 20 last. 1t is alleged
that. Davis cut Hollands throat with a
Knife and then made his escape. Hollanu's
life hung by Unread, s. to speak, for sew
eral weeks. Davis was captured I'm Wash

George S. Dove of Forestville.
A special meeting of the council was held
here last evening to take action looking to
a protest against the passage of the con-
templated law which seeks to reduce the
amount of money received as road rebate
by Hyattsville and other Incorporated towns
from ~ to II per cent. Besides Mayor
Wells and the members of the council many
citizens we're present.
Mr. A. H. Dahler member of the board
of commissioners of Biadensburg, presented
literally signed petition from the citizens
of that place protesting against the con-
templated law. After some discussion this
petition was adopted as the views OF the
mayor and council of Hyattsville and copies
were ordered printed for distribution among
the citizens.

DIETRICH. ON STAND
SAYS THAT NO SUGGESTION OF
PAYMENT WAS EVER MADE.
Various Denials of Statements Entered
Investigating Committee Re
sumes Sessions.

The special committee appointed to in
yestigate charges against Senator Dietrich
of Nebraska resumed it's hearings yester-
day afternoon, Senators HOar and Spooner
being present.
William Dutton of Hastings was recalled
and asked by Senator Hear whether he had
ever had conversation with U. S. Rohrer
of Hastings regarding the appointment of
Mr. Hannah as deputy postmaster under
Fisher and whether he had said that it
would take $500 to bring about his appoint
1nent. Dutton emphatically stated that he
had never talked to Rohrer about the mat
ter and did not know that Hannah was a
candidate.
vert n letter sent by District Attorney Sum-
mers through the Attorney General from
U. s. Rohrer of Hastings. wherein it was
stated that he had a talk with Dutton re-
garding the appointment of Hannah as
deputy postmaster and that it would cost
Hannah $500 to be appointed
Senator Hoar having announced that the
witnesses whose names had been suggested
by District Attorney Summers had been eX-
amned, he asked If Senator Dietrich was
ready TO put his witnesses on the stand
Statements Denied.
The senator stated he would call Adam
Breede of Hastings, who was sworn. The
witness stated that he was never candi-
date for the Hastings post Office. That he
had never had conversation with Leopold
Hahn regarding the Hastings post office,
and that therefore the subject of a money
consideration could never have been men,
toned.
John D. Mines Of Hastings, deputy col
lector of internal revenue, was called and
denied a conversation in which it was
claimed that Fisher had stated that Die
trich had said he had to pay Mr.. Thompson
$4,000 for his expenses, Mr.. Thompson
having been a candidate for United States
senator when Dietrich was elected
Mr.. Fisher was recalled and denied that
he ever had a conversation with Senator
Dietrich as alleged by Williams, and also
said he had no knowledge whatsoever what
Mr.. Thompson's expenses were as a sena-
torial candidate.
Senator Dietrich's Statement.
Senator Dietrich then took the stand, and
at his request was sworn, although Chair
man Hoar stated that the practice of the
Senate had been not to swear a senator on
the theory that all senators had equal
rights in that body. In reply to Senator
Hoar he first reviewed his election as gov
ernor and senator, and then in answer to
Senator Hoar said: Il have never received
a cent for the appointment of Jacob Fisher
as postmaster Then the senator told of
his relation with Jacob Fisher and how he
came to recommend him for postmaster
instead of appointing him oil Inspector
Senator Dietrich stated that while he was
/ governor he had made a contract with the
Post Office Department for the rent of the
Dietrich building at Sl.S00. This contract
was made with Postmaster General Smith.
He heard of protests regarding the rent to
be paid. and told Jacob Fisher that he
would take 81 800 for the building, although

cent to be expended on the roads throughout
the county. This means a reduction in the
revenues of Hyattsville of about 500 an
nually, a condition which the citizens here
do not relish and against which they will
certainly enter a vigorous protest
Most of the towns are bonded, and the
result of the consequent improvements
means an increase in the assessable basis,
the benefits of which are shared by the en-
tire county. which assumes no RESPONSE
bility for the payment of the interest on
these bonds.

For the foregoing one can see that 40
per cent of the assets were very quickly
converted into cash, and, further, that it is
more than probable that, the cashier drew
on the branch banks located in the city or
vicinity where the various stockholders re-
sided. That this latter method was very
sensible can readily be, apprec ated and
understood when We remember the expense
and risk involved in transferring currency
and coin from the various branches to the
parent institution. Then. again. the state
bank currency which would, have been
rendered in payment of. foreign exchange
was, in most cases, subject to, discount,

ON March g. 1873. the trustees of the
Bank OF the United States declared divi-
dend OF per cent. making with the other
dividends 30 per cent, which dividend of Z
per cent was payable April /, 1913. It
seems remarkable that an, institution of
such large assets could be within so short
time nearly liquid tied when we remem-
Der what limited banking capital there was
available, and especially when we consider
that our government was borrow ng freely
from both banks and individuals to con-
duct It's second war with England"

declared that Jacob Fisher would have beer

might have been located. He denied thai
the deed of the post Office property was

In reply to question from Senator Hoal
Mr.. Dietrich said that never directly or in
directly had the question of money been
Suggested to any candidate or applicant fol
any position while he was governor or SEN
ator and said he had never received direct
he has made; nor had he ever expected a
cent from any one so appointed.
Senator Dietrich denied having had a con-
VerSation with Fisher in which the subject
of paying $4,000 for Thompson's expenses
came up.
A Disputed Conversation.
Frank N. Clarke of Omaha testified that
Fisher had said to him that he Fisher) had
there was no wrongdong in that, as he
knew other postmasters had purchased fix
lures. The witness said that he had talks
with District Attorney Summers about the
case: that he had said to Summers that
Fisher asked him (the witness) whether he
should turn states evidence, an indictment
having been found against Fisher by the
grand jury, and that the witness said to
Fisher that he would recommend him to
