MaBons or other channels, the sooner
do they attain 70 greater things.

Case of Senator Burton of Kansas.

Since the conviction of Senator
Burton of Kansas everybody has
been disposed to jump on him.
The public appear delighted that a
member of the Senate is thrown
into jail. 1t happens, however,
that there are two sides to his case,
and it is the duty of the public to
treat the matter fairly. Senator
Burton was convicted of violating
a provision of the Revised Statutes
of the United States which forbids
a Senator or other official of the
government from receiving or
agreeing to receive any compensa-
tion for any services in relation to
any proceeding, contract, claim,
controversy or other matter or
thing Gin which the United States
is a party or directly or indirectly
interested" before any department,
bureau or officer. The Indictment
charged that a proceeding was
pending in the Post Office Depart
ment to inquire whether a certain
corporation known as the Rialto
Grain and Securities Company
was conducting a scheme for OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses
through the mails of the United
States and whether a fraud order
should be issued by the Postmaster
General against that corporation.
The Indictment further charged
that the defendant as a Senator of
the United States unlawfully
agreed to receive from said cor
poration S2500 as compensation for
services rendered by him in re-
lation to such proceeding before
the POST Office Department. The
testimony must be regarded as
establishing the fact that Senator
Burton did actually agree to rep
resent the Rialto Grain and Sc
curities Company in the proceed
ing for the sum mentioned and
that he received $500 on account OF
his services.
It follows that the conviction was
undoubtedly right if it be true that
the United States was "directly OF
indirectly interested" in the pro-
ceeding before the Post Office De-
partment.
When the case came before the
United States Supreme Cour
Justices Brewer, White and Peck.
ham dissented from the view tina,
the United States was interested
in the proceeding before the Post.
Office Department. The dissent.
ing opinion was written by Justice
Brewer, who declared that the con.
struction of the law adopted BY
the majority wrote into the statute
an offense which Congress nevel
placed there. We of Louisiana al
know the legal ability of Justice
White, and when he says tina
Senator Burton did not violate the
statute in question we may wei
pause and ask ourselves whethe,
Justice has not miscarried in thil
case.-Neso Orleans Item.

The Two Cent Fare.


At the coming session of the
Missouri Legislature the two cent
passenger fare bilfwill be pushed
to the front. The representative
from this county and the senator
from this district, are earnest ad-
vocates of this measure. The rail-
roads contend that they will lose
money by such a law if it is passed.
Now let's look for moment and
see if this contention is correct.
You can go to the depotin this city
and buy round trip ticket to st.
Louis for $3.50; that is as cheap as
you can buy a ticket here, that is
8 cents mile less 10 per cent for
the round trip. Again, you can
go to the depot in this city, buy a
round trip ticket to Bismarck, pay
S1.55 for it, get off the train at Bis
marck, you have plenty of time,
over an hour, step into the depot
at Bismarck, buy round trip
ticket to st. Louis, good for four
or five days and pay $3.50 for it,
add S1.55 you pay for your round
trip ticket from Fredericktown to
Bismarck and it makes your round
trip ticket from Fredericktown to
st. Louis cost you S5.15, whereas,
if you buy a ticket in Frederick
town you pay $3.50 for it, yet you
go on the same time, and get to
st. Louis at the same time and it
costs you 65 cents less to buy your
ticket the other way; then again,
De Soto is supposed to be AZ miles
from st. Louis and the fare one
way is S1.26,'yet you can go to the
depot at De Soto and buy a ticket
good for ten rides to st. Louis or
return for $685., making the fare a
little over a cent and half a mile
from De Soto to st. Louis. A
gentleman stated to the Democrat
Neaus this week that he took his
whole family to St. Louis a few
weeks ago. He bought tickets for
them to Bismarck and then to De
Soto and from De Soto into st.
Louis used a ten trip ticket which
he had previously bought, and
saved by the operation nearly So;
the gentleman had seven in his
family and he is in Fredericktown
this week. Now if the railroad
can sell tickets from De Soto at
1 IL cents a mile,and make money,
can sell round trip tickets from
Bismarck for $3.50 and make
money, why can't they sell them
from other points at the same rate
and make money. If they can
afford to sell tickets from De Soto
at 1 1-2 cents mile, they can cer-
tainly afford to sell tickets from
other points on their line for 2
cents per mile and still come out
ahead. This, discrimination in
passenger rates against Frederick
town and other points in South
east Missouri willfbe called to the
attention Of the proper authorities
with the hope that this unjust dis
elimination can be adjusted salts
factorily.-Fredericktoaun Democrat
