face Of the strong feeling against
lobbying and the efforts of the
Governor to have measure passed
prohibiting the practice or at least
restricting it within certain bounds.
There are number of measures
before the Legislature affecting the
railroad interests Of the State,
among them the two-cent passen'
ger fare bill, thu maximum freight
rate bill, the anti pass bill, the
Jim Crow bill, Il bill prohibit

in another corporation or acting as
agent for another corporation, etc,

concerned, and the companies have

DEMOCRATS MAKE MISTAKE.

DEMOCRATS MAKE MISTAKE.
The course pursued by the Dem
ocrats in the United States Senate
in the fractional fight between Presl-
dent Roosevelt and Senator For
aker with his strong anti-adminis
tration Republican following, over
the Brownsville episode, is to us
incomprehensible, both from the
standpoint of principle and of sane
politics. The real issue involved
has been allowed to be overshadOwed
aud absorbed by Senator Foraker 5
political game to break the Roosc-
welt influence in his party. The
Democrats appear to have lost their
heads and rushed to the rescue Of
the President only to be suubbed
again as they were in the rate bill
affair.
Senator Foraker thought he saw
IN the dishOnorabIe discharge of
the negro troops, for their out
rageous and murderous assault
upon the town of Brownsville, an
opportunity to diScredit the Presi-
dent among the negroes and keep
alive among them sentiment
against him, thus enabling the
anti administration Republicans to
control the delegations of negroes
from the South in the next Repub-
lican National Convention. Hence
he introduced his resolution in the
Senate to investigate the Browns
vile affair, but aimed more par
ticularly at the President, whom
he declared had exceeded his au-
thority.
Senator Lodge came to the res
cue of the President with a white
wash" substitute generating him
of going beyond his authority, and
lively tilt resulted that promised
to split the Republican party in
twain. Seeing this, Foraker and
Lodge got together and agreed to a
compromise that ignored altogether
the question as to whether the
President had acted within the
scope of his authority.
The question of the President S
authority had been raised, however ;
not only raised, but bis action
scathingly denounced by Foraker
with strong legal argument to back
it up. Mr.. Roosevelt could not

dorsement of his act by the Senate
At this juncture Senator Black
burn, Democratic leader in TIT
Senate, with all but three of thu
Democratic Senators, it is said
lined up with him, thrust himself
into the breach with an amendment
that brought the whole question Of
the Presidents authority again
before the Senate, ready to stand
by him. The President accepted
the Democrats laundering offer.
When Foraker and his crowd saw
that they were about TO be defeated
in their move, Foraker came
around with a substitute both to his
own resolution and Blackburn s
amendment, duplicating the latter
with the exception of couple of
words that did not alter the mean
