The Striking Machinists.

There is nothing new TO report IN the
strike of the mschinists at the shops oil

between representatives of the union and
the railway company would be held on
that day at which a satisfactory basis
would be reached and the strike brought
to a close. The men bad been directed
to return to work pending this confer
ence, but the machinists concluded to
wait until the result of the conference
was announced. IL is now said that the
parties representing the men and the
company will meet today. Several OF
the special officers which we're employed
by the company for duty at the depot in
this city have resigned their positions.

tions are not Alexandriaus, but had

Senator Joseph Ralph Burton. Of Kansas evidently
intends to citing to his desk IN the Senate until he is
pried loose forciby impelled through the swing
ing doors. II may be necessary even then to give
him help through the corridors In spite of the
supreme court decision affirming that Of the lower
courts which sentences him to jail levies fine and
deprives him OF the right to hold Office under the
United States government, he will not resign Il IS
reported from Washington that the matter OF intro
ducing resolution declaring Burtons seat vacant.
unless he resigns Immediately Is seriously considered
Burtons is about as plain a case OF an official
prostituting his high Office as has ever occurred in
the history of the republic. II was charged that he
accepted lee Of $500 per month for a number Of
months, from st. Louis company for services
rendered that company against an attempt to have
the postoffice department bar Il from the mails. In
other words he sold his political influences outright
He did not represent the company their attorney,
he simply took money, It was charged. in payment
for saying good word in favor OF his clients to the
department officials. That he did not succeed is not
pertinent He was found guilty in the United states
circuit for the eastern district OF souri, SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment, anu to pay a
fine OF $25o0 and also deprived of the right to hold
Office hereafter. The supreme court has sustained
the lower court but has granted sixty days in which
to prepare petition for a rehearng.
Burton could have himself a great deal OF very
unpleasant notoriety by rssigning. He has no fur
fact that like to cling to the shadow OF power
and authority after the substance has departed.
