LOOKING FOR REBATES.
New Inquiry Into Standard Oil is in
Progress Under Commis-

Washington, Fe b. 3.-There is excel
lent authority for the statement that
the Standard Oil company is being SUBJ
jected to a new and sweeping inquiry
under the direction of the Bureau of
Corporations of the Department of Com
MERGE and Labor.
Records of all the leading railroads
which have shared oil shipments are to
be searched in the hope of securing evil
dence concerning alleged rebates from
bills OF lading in the files of the rail-
roads,. The charge has been frequently
made that under cover of blind" bills
OF lading, rebating has been carried on
on huge scale. The bureau, accord
ing to reports which seem we'll substan-
tiated, proposes to go to headquarters
for information. The Pennsylvania
files already have been inspected .by
representatives of the bureau and this
is only beginning.
Commissioner Garfield is in the west.
None of the officials remaining here is
willing to be quoted, but the general
nature of their statements tended to
confirm the statement that an inquiry
was under way

BRYAN..R0OSEVELT.

In a speech at Lincoln, Neb.
Thursday night, Senator Beveridge
drew a forceful comparison between
the characters of Bryan and Roose-
velt. clearly defining the difference
between these two great citizens, as
follows:
Il have no patience with the
abuse of Mr.. Bryan. Mistaken in
policy, he is yet hero of conscience.
At st. Louis he refused to sell his
moral birthright for mess of pot.
tage. And today he il the same un.
dismayed soldier of conviction, choos-
ing to utter his thought however it
may shatter his fortunes. This is the
stuff out of which are made great
preachers and reformers.
In the pulpit Mr. Bryan would have
been greater and nobler Beecher.
In the presidents chair he would
have beeD more ruthless and arbi-
trary Johnson. But such have never
been nor ever can be the statesmen of
people. There is in them so much
OF poetry, so much of fanaticism
there is so much of the dreamer. SO
much OF the martyr that while they
see splendid visions and dream grand
dreams they can not make those Wis.
ions realities or bring those dreams
TO pass. The people, obeying that
practical instinct that looks to their
daily bread and nightly rest beneath
! their roof trees, have never made
such men their statesmen. And SC
tonight, conceding-nay, gladly as
serting-the mortality, courage and
fidelity to what he believes best fol

ness of Mr.. Bryan's views. He is
righteous but not right. In the min.
