A Sickening Story.

the republican party at the next
national election; another
chapter IN the story of cor.
ruption aud graft under the re.
publican rule
What a long and what a sick.
euing story it has been. The
continuation of the republican
party in control OF the federal
government has developed a
condition which can be describ-
ed by no less offensive adjective
than rotten"
Graft in the pos,office de-
partment. graft in the interior
department, and now graft in
the department of agriculture.
That the federal courts should
have indicted two republican
senators for the breaches lof the
law serves to give some idea of
the extent of that dishonesty
which seems to be the neces.
sary accompaniment of republi-
can administration Of this gov
eminent. Frauds in the Indian
bureau, gigantic theft of public
lands by the sharpers who err
joy the protection of republican
politicians-now, proof that the
statistic bureau Of the depart
ment of agriculture has been
manipulated by Wall street
gamblers.
In all probability the same
methods that have been used |
10y the department officials and |
hangers-ou with regard to cot
ton statistics have been used !
with reference to the great food |
crops whose prices are also of
ten at the mercy of the gam
blers. 1t is to be hoped the Id W
officers of the government will
be able to find some way 10
punish these men as criminals.
That their methods Of opera
ton should have been disclosed
is most fortunate, and much of
the credit for this undoubtedly
belongs to the officers of the
Southern Cotton Association
who, acting upon information
offered them by somebody on
the inside, struck at the pay
chic moment.
Months ago The Constitution
called for the thorough investi-
cation of the statistics bureau
of the department of agricul.
ture. Secretary Wilson was
then loathe to believe there
was the possibility OF a leak
or of manipulation of the sta
tistlcs, but the proof brought
out in the recent investigation
was SO strong as to convince
him even against his will.
Nothing can be more certain
than that the whole system of
government reports and gov.
ernment estimates upon the
growing crops should be abol-
isbed, If it is 30 be open to ma
nipulation, as has been shown
to be the case with reference to |
the cotton figures. If the sys.
TEN of compiling these Stats
tics is so faulty as to permit |
gamblers to influence the result
any way, then indeed should
TIE entire system be wiped out.
1t we are to have any cotton
and wheat, corn and oats re-
oorts at all, they must be abso.
utely accurate; and certainly
there should be no opportunity

A new fiend came to town last eve ming, but fortunately it will not. re main here. It is owned by Rock vile man and came near being com mitted for contempt of court this morning by Judge Burpee. During the session of city court everybody in the room was shocked and startled by Il most hideous sound. It was like the vail of a lost soul. Two or three times its hair raising shriek was heard but by that time it was found that it came from an automobile in E. H. Towle's garage. Judge Burpee could stand it no longer for it was simply terrifying and agonizing, so he told Sergeant Pagan to tell the garage people to stop blowing their fiendish horn while court was in session. Af- ter cotirt everybody hustled to the gar age to see the internal monster that was capable of emitting such an un- earthly vail. It was surely an excel lent looking machine It's cable part ed on the road last night and it came home on one leg and 1t was while re- pairing the cable that the machinist .in- terferred with the horn from the aw- full throat of which came the ear splitting. terrifying wall.

Senate and Assembly at Alba
 ny Wrangle Over Hooker.
JUSTICE MADE A GENERAL DENIAL
Judge W. B. Hooker. Pale and Worn Appeared Before Both Houses to Plead Not Guilty of Wrong
 doing as Charged.

ALBANY, July 11.-Supreme CourI Justice Warren B. Hooker, pale and worn out by his long fight for his judi cial life, appeared in person before tht senate and assembly, in joint session here, and made a general denial of the charges brought against him by the legislature and the State Bar associa ton that he is unfit to sit on the su. preme court bench of this state.
 The denial is in writing and states that there is no crime alleged in the charges upon which a proceeding may be taken against the accused.
 Justice Hooker declares that his acts were done in the faithful and conscien- tious discharge of his duties as a citi. zen and public officer. He therefore enters plea of not guilty.
 Later the two houses convened sep arately and passed at once into a tedious and wordy wrangle over whether a rule shall be adopted re- stricting the joint session to the receipt of evidence under the legal and usual rules prevailing in the courts of rec ord of this state. whether or not such rule governing the evidence shall be adopted or whether it shall be adopted in some modified form. Over this question the senate consumed more than four hours. The assembly de ferred its action, but the senate finally adopted the proposed rule in the first form. This was bitterly opposed by Senator Grady. who also demanded that action be deferred. He made a vain effort to have the vote reconsid- cred. and upon being outvoted declared that until what he considered q fair vote could be obtained mot much busi- ness would be transacted in the joint session
