Financially Connected with Some Cor
poration Seeking Privileges,
Editor Argus

Eoitor argus.
How many of our United States
Senators are not financially con-
nected with some corporation that
is seeking privileges." Such men
can not represent their corpora
tons and the people at the same
time" Yet of such men is the
United States Senate composed.
Take the two United States Senators
from New York-Platt and Depew.
They, by their ownItestimony, have
proven themselves to be unworthy
OF the confidence reposed in them
by a long suffering people. They
should be compelled to resign and
il justice were meted out to them
as it should be, they should share
the fate of Senator Burton of
Kansas who occupies a prison cell.
His oftense was no greater than
the ofense confronting Platt and
Depew. Is it any wonder at all,
then, that labor is arrayed against
capital, when such rascals 90 un-
punished1 After all the expense
and hard labor of the great insur-
ance robberies in the great State Of
New York, not one of the guilty
scoundrels have or ever will be
punished. Governor Hughes can
not, If he is the good, honest man
he is reported to be, let all these
aristocratic thieves escape. win
hep Time will tell.
Senator Elkins, of our state. is
financially connected with perhaps
more than one corporation. He is
therefore not entitled to a seat in
the United States Senate. He can
not represent his corporation and
the people at the same time. Can
Governor Dawson, after all he has
said of Mr.. Elkins, now assist him
in succeeding himself in the Senator
If he was sincere a few months ago
in his efforts in behalf of the people
OF his state, he should be sincere
now when the peoples interest is
again at stake and Mr.. Elkins is
again the candidate of the great
corporations for the United States
Senate. If you were sincere a few
months ago, Governor Dawson, be
still sincere and use all honorable
means to defeat Senator Eklins
IL you were not sincere then YOU
are not entitled now to that con-
tdence reposed in you by the
people of your state.
No wonder the great corporations
of New York were anxious to see
Hughes elected governor and con-
tributed literally to his campaign
managers. Had Hearst been elect
ed some of those insurance and
other thieves would have changed
an evening dress suit for a prison
garb. Senators Depew and Platt' S
health was much improved as soon
as they learned of Mr.. Hughes

on the supposed unfriendly rela-

British ambassador that his mission
here should have terminated under
a cloud with his home government.
1t is certainly an unusual misunder-
standing in British official life and
N that is regretted in Washington
owing TO the fact that the misap-
prehension had no basis in fact.
The ambassador is a man of ster-
ling character, high intelligence,
and OF gentle and simple manners.
He is much esteemed by the Presi-
dent and by everybody in official
life here.

Sir Mortimer Durand 10 Be Succeeded by

Ambassador.
From oar Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. s.
Officials of the Postofice Depart
meDt are working hard on the re-
port to congress vhereon may be
based recommendation for reforms
and changes in the postofice gem
orally and the railway mail service
in particular. There is, of course,
immense interests in this subject all
w the country owing to the report
that an effort was to be made to re-
duce the postofice deficit and that
one of the plans in contemplation
was to remove the pound rate
on second class mail matter and ad-
vance the charge on this matter to 4
cents a pound. This, Of course,
would hit the newspapers all over
the country and might or might not
result in a material increase in the
revenues of the Postofice Depart
ment.
The various publishers associA
tions have been working against the
plan for an increase in the mail rate
and have used one argument, the
fact that the government pays the
railroad companies much more for
transportation of mail matter than
is paid by the express companies.
Figures were presented in the Post
Office Department tending to show
that in the course of the year the
government pays $4,000, 900 more
to the railroads than did the express
companies for the same service,
weight for weight. This is advanced
as another reason why the govern
ment should take up the question of
an international parcel post. This
plan works exceedingly we'll with
Mexico and the other countries of
the international postal union with
which the United States has parcel
post conventions, and it is claimed
that 1t would lift a great burden off
the people of this country if they
could send packages by mail at home
as cheaply as they can to some
points abroad.
The Postofice Department is now
weighing all of the mail that is trans
mitted by the railroads, and it is
believed by the time the report is
SEM to congress in February that
sufficient data will have accumulated
on which to base an intelligent rec
ommendatIon.

One of the most curious incidents
in the foreign diplomatic service in
this country that has ever come to
light was the death in Phoenix, Ariz.,
last week of one Nicholas De Ray
land, for years private secretary to
the Russian consul general at Chi
cagO. The evidence of the coroner
showed that Nicholas De Rayland
was a woman, but Baron Slipenbach,
the Russian consul general, who is
in Washington on a visit to the
Russian ambassador, Baron Rosen,
declares nat he had no idea of his
secretaTy's sex during all the time
she was IN his service. One of the
peculiar features Of the case is that
the De Rayland woman is reported
to have defrauded Russians in this
country out of thousands of dollars
for the services of an alleged legal
bureau attached to the Russian con-
sulate and more for the transmission
of sums to the revolutionists in Rus.
STA when this government did not
guarantee the payment of postal
orders on that country. It is said
that further investigation may de
velop these transa ;tions into an in
ternational scandal Of some magni
tude.
