Hard to Get the Evidence.

New York. June 14.-Replying to critic isms by Governor Folk of Missouri today, District Attorney Jerome said the diff cuIty in the way of convicting a rich man arises not from disinclination to punish him on the part of the prosecutor, but because 1t is difficult to get evidence to connect him with the crime, The public Is inclined to think that no man of wealth and power can be convicted of crime when the evidence and not the law is at fault said Mir.

Moon Had Talked for Minority.


 MT. Moon previously, in presenting the views of the minority, said:
 Moon Had Talked for Minority.
 MT. Speaker, the controversy between the two parties in this House on the admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico, and Oklahoma and Indian Territory, has been very sharp and strong for some years past. The dem ocratfc party or it's representatives in this body have felt that it was to the interest of all the people of the United States that the balance of power in this government between the sections might be preserved in the federal Senate with four states being made instead of two out of these territories. But in the con- sideration of the case of Oklahoma and Indian Territory we were confronted with the principle that has always been sa- cred to the democratic party-the de- mand of the people of these two territo- ries for statehood together. Yielding our own views in order that the voice of the people might be heard the minority of the committee on territories readily acceded to the proposition of the majority for the union of Oklahoma and Indian Territory For the very reason that we agreed to the union of these two territo- ries we have opposed the union of Arizona and New Mexico because it was appar ent to us that the people of those ter ritories did not desire union, and we felt that it was against the principles of government, against the theory of both parties to force an unwelcome union upon two territories. (Applause)
 ''The principle that moved us in the other case was lacking. We said that this House ought not to enforce the union of these two territories. We saw this House by a large majority, vote us down as the majority of the commit tee had done. Again In conference, after the bill came from the Senate, we saw the contention of the House was sus- tained by majority of the conferees, and then from the speaker we witnessed that which seldom has occurred in this or any other body.
 Delegate Smiths Words.
 Delegate Smith answered MT. Moon and in his speech to which the speaker took umbrage, he said
 MT Speaker. Three times through the House of Representatives; twice demo- cratic and once republican, and in a re- publican House having the support of sev- eraI members now on this territorial com mittee, we have succeeded in passing bills for the creation of separate states out of Mexico and Arizona. The less said about the way this bill has fared the better for the history of this Congress.
 There Is law in Arizona that if one Iegislat tor trades with another on the legislation before that body he Is guilty of a very high mlsdemeanor and if the governor shall attempt in that benighted land to use his veto power. he would be absolutely voted down in every degree We shall at the next session of this Congress when the election returns are shown, demonstrate to this House wheth- CT or not in spite of what I conceive to be bribe of s5, 100000 in this bill-and I rejected that before the committee we have people above such considera-
