Denouncing the statements Of Senators and
Representatives as ian unqualified falsehood
was never done by any occupant of the Presi-
dental chair until the present incumbent took
his seat. Up to 1850 such language would
have been followed by impeachment of the
President, or be would have been held per-
soualiy responsible for bis words. Because a
man occupies high and exalted position i
does not follow that that position gives him 9
license TO use language, either in letter or
speech, that be would not do as private elt-

Foretells Wall Streets Fall.

New York is an il-fated city like San Fran

Pa, in the New York World of May Is.
A destructive earthquake will come to it
within two years. San Francisco was wicked
city. When | predicted last December that
there would be destructive eruption of Mount
Vesuvius also made the prediction that de,
structive earthquake shocks would visit San

Political Campaign Expenses.

In the discussion of the bill now pending IN
Congress for requiring that all contributions
to political committees shall be reported to
the Clerk of the House of Representatives,
some very interesting statistical matter was
recently brought out. 1t was shown that from
the very beginning of its career the Republi
can party has relied largely on the use OF
money in elections, and that in 1896 its ma
tional campaign fund amounted to sixteen
million Eve hundred thousand dollars, while
that of the Democrats reached only S6I5,Ooo
In 1900, the Republicans spent $500, 600,
and the Democrats 1926, 900. Strong efforts
have been made to discover how much money
Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. Cortelyou received in 1904,
but though it has been proven that they and
Mr.. Babcock got enormous sums from the
life insurance companies, and has been charg.
ed. and denied, that they also received large
sums from the trusts and railroads, 1t has been
impossible to discover how much money was
expended by the party of corruption and
special privilege.
Many of these contributions we're taken from
truSt-funuS Dy men like eihlusf -nSN"'NJ
Mccall and Hyde; and District Attorney
Jerome of New York who has had Perkins
arrested on the charge OF larceny, said that il
Perkins is guilty. then it follows that Bliss.
the treasurer. .ad Cortelyou, the chairman Of
the Republican national committee, are guilty
of receiving stolen goods, knowing them TO be
stolen.
This may account for the silence OF the
President respecting these contributions. dc
would. no doubt, have ordered the stolen
money to be restored to the life insurance
companies. if it were not that restitution Of
stolen goods by the receivers after discovery
would amount TO confession Of larceny anc
nut the Presidents friends, Bliss and Cortel'
YOU, in the same predicament with Perkins,
fact which would sadly interfere with the gay
civ of the Presidents official family. lie
would not compel the members of that family
to give evidence against themselves by restor
ing money stolen from widows and orphan:
who have no votes. That would be "a mis-
carriage of justice, almost as bad as that fol
which he lampooned Judge Humphrey in hh
recent message to Congress.

A o. s. Judge Under a Cloud

The L. S Department Of Justice, a, the re.
uues, Of citizen Of Michigan, has ordered an
investigation Of Judge Henry II. Swami,
United States district judge Of the Eastern dis.
trict Of Michigan.
Ii was represented to the Attorney General
sometime ago that business in the court was
far behind The complaint in the matter de.
cIared that case had been argued four years
ago and vet undecided. When he inquired Of
the clerk how long he would be expected to
wait for an opinion and how many cases were
ahead. he was told, he says, that the intorma-
ton would have to be paid for. In previous
case the same Iitigant charges taat the same
Judge postponed decision three years.
The Department Of Justice called on Judge
Swanns clerk for a statement Of the condition
of docket, and brought ont the information
that 4, 800 cases that had been argued we're still
pending undecided.

Which never can be filled.

A fee Of about $4,000 was received by
Robert s, Owen, fuil.blooded Cherokee
Indian and lawyer of ability, for winning a
case decided May 2, by the Supreme Court of
the United States. The case is that of the
Eastern Cherokee Indians. of the Indian Ter
ritory, against the United States, the amount
involved being about 81, 600. 600, of which At
torney Owen will receive I5 per cent, the
largest fee ever received by lawyer in Sa-
preme Court case.
The claim of the Indians grew out of the
treaty of 1888 under which the government
agreed to pay the cost of removing the Chero-
KEGS from Georgia and other Southern States
to the Indian Territory. The government did
not pay as agreed, but, after years of litigation.
the government court has decided it must
do so With interest at per cent. for sixty
eight years. For winning case for the Choc'
