Senator Knox, who by the assistance of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the gener-
GUS help of the Standard Oil Trust repre-
sents the corporations in the United States
Senate, has been called into consultation
at the White House to know just what
ought to be done by the numerous "and
best attorneys in the country, to prepare
the case against the Standard Oil Trust
with unusual care. It might be sug-
gested that most any honest cornfeld law
yer could get John D. Rockefeller in
stripes, if the Federal judge and jury can
be relied upon, but it would seem to a
Iayman that it would be advisable to keep
Knox ont of the case.

Hon. VIM. II. jackson.

The ADVOCATE stated few weeks ago,
in discussing the corrupt use OF money at
elections, that Mr.. Jackson is but con-
spicuous example of class of men, who
are largely responsible for the corrupt use
of money at our election.
The interviews he gave to the newspaper
reporters put him in the astounding posi-
ton of making light of the corrupt use OF
money at elections, and tacitly admitting
that he had done so.
Owing to his public position these re-
markable statements and admissions raised
a storm of protest all over the State, and
especially by the independent press OF Bal
timore. And so Mr.. Jackson came out
in a denial. That is, he entered the
usual plea of 'sNot Guilty. But all the
circumstances of the case, not only in the
last campaign, but in all Mr.. Jackson s
career, since he entered public life, show
that his chief reliance in every campaign,
has been sthis barrel" This is why he was
ever nominated for congress, and his ex-
PLANTATION of the enormous use ofmoney, was
that there were extraordinary expenses in
his district, and especially "that the other
fellow did it ALSO And some OF his
friends are trying to apologize for him on
the same ground. Mr.. jackson says he
does not know that any of his money was
spent to buy votes. Of course, he is one
of the "Innocents Abroad, - and don t
know what is going on.
The corrupt use of money at elections
is being considered more seriously by our
people than ever before, and we hope the
agitation will be kept up, until the prac-
tice of buying votes will be outlawed by
public sentiment, and until we shall place
upon our statute books, an honest Corrupt
Practices Law.

The Presidents Visit to Panama.

President Roosevelt has seen the Canal
and is delighted. Just what good can
come from his visit to Panama, is not ex-
actly clear.
In doing so he has broken the record
of all the Presidents, by going out of the
country during his encumbency of the
Presidential Office. This has not been done
by any President up to the time of our
present Chief Magistrate.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is not very partic-
ular about precedents, and does not squlrm
much in stretching the constitution, when
it is necessary to do so to accomplish his
ends. He is, indeed,.a sort of sui generis,
one of his own kind.
Three warships accompanied the Presi'
Dental party, and we have no doubt they
all had jolly, good time. But it would
be difficult for the average American to
cipher out the good to the country that
will come from this Presidential Junketing.
Mr., Roosevelt is restless spirit and
must always be doing something. And
the danger of man like that is, that in
the multitude of his doing, he is apt to do
something wrong. So that, to send him
to sea and put him, for the time being,
within the area of the ships deck, was
perhaps not an unwise thing. 1t at least
gave the President the opportunity to see
the child, which, through his extraordinary
agency, was born among the nations, out

Kept Below Decks 4 Days.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-For four days 1900
immigrant passengers on the Italian steamer
Florida, which arrived today from Genoa and
Naples, were kept below decks while the
steamer pitched and rolled in a gale, which
at times assumed almost the proportions of a
hurricane. The Florida came through safely,
however, and none of her passengers suffered
any permanent injury.
Captain Noera said that the steamer would
appear to stand still and then would vibrate
and culver until he feared the engines would
shake to pieces. At other times the seas
would heel the steamer over so far to leeward
that the water came on board.
On the night of November "a four or five
great waterspouts were sighted, some of them
very near the steamer.
Captain Noera had a narrow escape from
being hurled into the sea while the storm was
at its height. He was making an observation
when sudden pitch of the steamer threw him
the full length of the bridge.
He escaped being thrown into the sea only
by a few inches.

oh, how hard it was to give him up.
Days of love forever ended;
To lay him in the cold damp grave,
To moulder into dust
Day by day we saw him fade,
And slowly sink away;
Yet In our hearts we often prayed,
That he might longer stay
God alone knows how we miss you,
In our home, o, father, dear.
How for thee our heart Is yearning,
How we long thy voice to hear.
He is waiting by the river,
Just across the silver stream,
Where sweet flowers are ever blooming,
And the banks are ever green.
When the wintry storms are DER,
And the spring comes fresh and fair,
We will meekly kneel beside him,
And plant his chosen flower there
Emblem of living memory,
In whose love we have been blest;
We will not disturb his slumber,
Sweetly, calmly let him rest.

The Meeting of Congress.

Under the constitutional requirement,
Congress will assemble on the first Monday
of December next, to conclude the last
session of the 18th Congress.
It is the short session and it Is probable
little will be done, beyond the passing OF
the General Appropriation bills.
A number of important measures came
over from the last session, and are now on
the Calander of the House, but it is not
likely any of them will be acted upon. The
Republicans have good working majority
in both Houses, and are responsible to the
country for what is done, and for what is
not done, that ought to be done.
1t is the belief of all Democrats, and
many Republicans, that we should have a
substantial revision of the Tariff, but the
"Stand- Patters'' are in the saddle and
nothing will be done.
And we predict, that nothing will ever
be done with the Tariff schedules until the
Democratic party comes into power. We
hope to see in the next Presidential cam
paign the subject of the tariff the para
mount issue, and with this we believe the
Democratic party will sweep the country,
The suggestion of the Republicans that
if the tariff is to be revised, it must be done
by that party, is absurd, for the reason
that if they stand for anything distinctive
ly, in the country, it is high protection,
and any change in the schedules by them
would be absolutely meaningless.
The Democratic party makes a direct
issue with the Republicans upon this vital
question, demanding that the enormous
tariff rates be reduced, and in many in
stances eliminated, and that the money
collected from the people, under the oper-
alton of the Tariff, should not be more
than is necessary for the expenses OF the
government.
