A Public Senefactor.

President Rooseyelt's intense dislike
Of "the man with the muck rake" can
hardly be wondered at, for 'the man"
has uncovered so many scandals that
TIE Roosevelt Administration will go
down into history as the most disrep-
utable era Of Republican supremacy.
II there had been no muck, the rake
would have remained idle. Was not a
rake necessary to uncover the insur-
ance grating, the postal frauds, the
land frauds, the Panama grating and
mismanagement, and would President
Roosevelt have prevented the exposure
Of these scandals, because it unmask-
ed the corruption or connivance Of
some OF the highest officials Of the Re-
publican party? 1t is no easy OF pleas
ant task to WELD the rake, but the
man who docs STIR up the muck In an
evenhandei manner, telling the truth
without fear, or favor. is public ben
efactor. The fact is, the Republican
politicians had become so intrenched
in power that the grafters thought
that anything they did, however VIC
ious, would be unobserved by the peo-
pie, but the man with the rake with
his publicity, exposed them and the
party which was RESPONSE
bic for them.

Republican Craft,

One Of the life insurance magnates
has been arrested for giving a large
sum OF money, that should have been
sacred to the widows and orphans Of
the policy holders, to the Republican
National Committee. President Roose-
velt declared before election that no
tainted money was being used in bis
campaign, but the evidence shows he
was greatly-mlstaken, Tor the insur-
aace trust and other corporations
"came down" handsomely. The
strange part OF it is that the Admin.
istre tion organs before the last nation
al election declared that the Presi-
dent was managing the campaign on a
business basis" and receiving daily
reports Of the finances Of the Republi-
can committee from Chairman Cortel-
you. Was the President deceived OF
did he then think insurance money
was not tainted? No restitution has
yet been made, though it would seem
that the ethics Of the situation demand
that the money be returned to its
rightful owners.

Tillran VS.. Hopkins.

Senator Hopkins tried his best to
divert attention from the corrupt
methods employed by the Republican
party in assessing national banks to
secure a corruption fund to Influence
elections by abusing Senator Ti]lman
who requested the matter to be look
ed into. Most OF the Northern Repub-
lican papers endorsed Hopkins wave
OF the bloody shirt, and we are sorry
to say that a few Southern papers did
the same. The real matter that Hop
kins and his associates Wou q like to
sQuelch, is the proof about bank con-
tributions to campaign funds. Senator
TilIman was more than once prodded
about the source OF his information,
but in the Hopkins matter at least
they woke up the wrong passenger.
After Senator Tillman's collcQuy
with Senator hopkins the former sent
to the clerks desk the article written
by James W. Breen, aud printed in the
New York Herald, relating to the
matter in which. the national banks
were assessed for the benefit Of the Re-
publican party. Senator Aldrich OBJ
jected to having the article read, say
ing that he thought the senate knew
the contents OF the article, and that
be had read 1T himself. perhaps"
said Mr.. Tillman, THAT accounts for
your Indifference to have it read
again." The article was then read by
the clerk. Mr.. Tillman called atten-
tion to the fact that long ago he had
urges the committee on elections to
act OF his bill regarding the contribu-
tions Of national baaks, but that the
bill still hangs fire. Senator Lodge de-
marded to know who "this man Breen
is"
Senator Tillman produced certifca-
tes OF Mr.. Breen's character by letters
Of recommendation from prominent
men, and among them was one from
Senator Knox and another from Vice
Presi'ent Fairbanks. Senator Knox
took tie floor and declared that Mr..
Breen was a person Of thorough relia-
bility. Mr.. Tillman said that there
was something yet uncovered worse
than anything that had been revealed
in connection with the insurance scan
dals. He had letter from New
York bank to the effect that if COM
nittee would subpoena Walter NJ.
Anthony, auditor OF the republican ma
tional committee, it conld find out e1-
actly who contributed to the last cam
