The idea of uniting the Atlantic with

Dixon, CAL, Tribune: Many OF the
newspapers are devoting considerable
space these days in an attempt to estao-
lish the fact that in the past Russia has
been the only true friend this country
has possessed. That may be perfectly
correct, but 1t is not a sufficient reason
why we should give her our moral sup
port in her policy of land grabbing and
aggression.

souRxE COCHRAN SHOWN UP.

Representative Dalzel Of Pennsyi-
vania made a bitter attack on Repre-
sentative Bourke Cochran in the House
of Representatives last week. he
charged him among other things with
having received money to speak Tor NC
Kinley.
Cochran replied and denied the charge
that he had received $3.50 600 from the
Palmer and Buckner Campaign Com.
mittee; that he had ever received
money for supporting President NC
Kinley's election in 1896, that ne ever
was a Greenbacker and said that In the
campaign of 1896 he combatted with
all his energy what he believed to be a
heresy regarding the finances advocated
by Mr.. Bryan. He had believed MI.
Bryan to be an absolutely honest a
and had predicted that when he saw has
error on the financial question he would
be the first to take the plank out OF
the platform. Within the last few days,
however, he said, Mr.. Bryan had dem
onstrated that he was attached to the
idea and would tear down everything
rather than yield.
Cochran demanded by a resolution
that a committee be appointed to in
vestigate the charges made against
him. Speaker Cannon ruled that the
Cochran resolution for an investigation
of the Dalzell charges that Cochran had
campaigned for Mckinley for hire" in
1896 was not a privileged matter. An
appeal was taken from the Speakers
decision. By a party vote, 1863 to 1876,
the Speaker was sustained in his ruling.
Commenting on the affair the Sacra-
mento Bee says: "The whole thing
from beginning to end was unparlia-
mentary and out of order, and should
not have been tolerated for one moment.
What Cochran did or did not as a
stump orator had nothing to do with
his acts as a Representative. On the
other hand, Cockran's demand for a
committee to investigate him vas a
magnificent bluff-nothing more.
"As a matter Of fact, Bourke Cock.
ran deserved everything Dalzell said of
him. He is a wonderful man proba-
bly, the greatest orator we have in the
United States to-day. who compares to
such q pigmy twaddler as Chauncey
Depew as a magnificent organ to a jews
harp. But he is a political Hessian of
the Tom Fitch stripe. He has been on
every side almost Of every great ques-
ton. He has been for and against
every living issue. He denounced
Cleveland and he eulogized him. He
was Tammany's chosen orator and its
bitterest denunciator, and now again
It's costly mouthpiece. He virtually
gave up his American citizenship not
ong ago, and went over to Great Brit
lin to live. intending to run for Parlia-
nent from an Irish borough. But
omething happened to change his
mind, and he came back to New York

Forced TO Cancel the Deal.

Berlin, April 5.-The King Of Saxony
was recently placed, in an embarrassing
position as the result of a demand by the
public of Saxony for the erection of a
new court theatre at Dresden. The king,
who is extremely economical, declined
to pay the cost of the new building, al
though the monarchs Of Saxony have
maintained the theatre since 1909. A
millionaire tooth powder manufacturer
offered to lend his majesty the money
necessary, asking a merely nominal in
terest on the sum. The king accepted
the offer, believing this to be an easy So
luton of the difficulty. The government,
however, insisted on the king cancelliDg
the deal, as they declared it would be a
breach of monarchical etiquette for him
to borrow money from manufacturer.
The monarch has now reluctantly accep-
ted this advice.
