Washington. d. c.. April s.-The
past week has been quite An inter
esting one In both the Senate and
the House For several days the
Democratic leaders In the House had
been using tactics to prevent the
passage of certain measures before
that body. Saturday the House oi
Representatives passed a rule which
put an end to any further filibus-
tering by the Democratic members
In presenting the rule Congressman
Dalzell characterized the Democratic
filibuster of the previous days as
'asinine, idotic and a disgrace to
grown up men of full stature. II
Some of the members had predicted
that Congress would be in session
until the 4th of July, but since the
new rule of Saturday, business will
be expedited and it is hardly prob
able that Congress will remain In
session longer than the regular term.
With only one vote against 1t the
House Monday. under suspension OF
the rules, passed the Sterling employ
ers' liability bill. In brief, the bill
establishes the doctrine that railroad
companies engaged in interstate
commerce are liable for personal in
juries received by employers in the
service OF such carriers. 1t abolishes
the comon law rule of liability which
bars a recovery for the personal in
jury or death OF an employe, occa-
stoned by the negligence of fellow
servant.
The army bill, carrying an appro-
priation of nearly 100000, 900,
was passed by the Senate, practical
ly as reported from the committee
on military affairs.

TO SIFT BRIBERY CHARGE.
A Kentucky Judge Charges Grand
Jury to Investigate Conduct Of
Members of Recent Legislature.

A press dispatch from Frankfort,
Kentucky, states that Circuit Judge
R. L. Stout has instructed the grand
Jury now in session at Frankfort to
thoroughly investigate the charges of
bribery of certain members of the
recent legislature.
"It was a common rumor. and
commoner street talk, during the
session." said Judge Stout, that
bribery was rampant during the re-
cent session of the general assembly.
The meanest man in the world Is the
man who will sell his vote for a few
dollars and disgrace the legislative
body in which he sits. We all know
of certain measures introduced fol

That "Funnygraph." ;"

A few days ago a gentleman was
expecting package by express, but
on calling at the express Office he
was surprised to find large box
bearing the advertisement of pho
nograph from the outside. AS
he had made no order for a phono-
graph, he told the clerk that there
must be some mistake. 1t was sug-
gested that the box be opened, which
was done-and to their surprise 1t
contained a couple of quarts of that
liquid fluid which sometimes makes
a fellow feel that all the world is
his. 1t just SO happened that the
friend who sent 1t was a dealer in
monographs, and thoughtlesly used
a phonograph box for this purpose
It is needless to say that, after In
spection, this box was not allowed to
go to the "hoss" sale. 1t so pleased
and amused the recipient that II
aroused his poetic feelings, and ht
acknowledged it's receipt in the fol
lowing lines:
That 'funnygraph" was o. k,
The records" all quite fine,
And the music" most refreshing
| To a tired and worried mind.

In the shade of an electric light.
And their praises were unanimous:
BEST music on the pike"

4 letter from North Carolina TO
this writer says that Adams and his
patronage machine fellows are boast
Ing that he has been exonerafed of
the charges of alleged bribery when
a judge in Indian Territory. They
claim that the letter of the Secretary
of the Interior TO Congress. in re-
sponse TO a resolution OF inquiry,
proves that the charges are false. In
the interest OF the party in North
Carolina, of which Adams happens
now TO be head. We regret that this
Is not true.
The facts are that a charge was
made and put into the Congressional
Record to the effect that 1t was al
legged that the Secretary of the In
terror had in his possession proof
that members of that Indian Court.
of which Adams was head. were
bribed. and that the Secretary. in
stead OF having the judges who were
alleged to be guilty indicted and con-
yicted. had suppressed the facts.
This was a charge made In Con-
gress directly against the Secretary.
In reply the Secretary simply said
thatsthe charge against him-that he
had sufficient proof to indict and
convict certain of the judges-was
false.
1t seems that Adams has seized
upon this statement and perverted 1t
so as to make the Secretary say that
the alleged charges against Adams
were false. The Secretary said moth
ing Of the kind. What he did say
Nwas that he had received many ru-
mors and anonymous statements
charging bribery, but that he did not
have sufficient proof.
But 1t may be added that ugly ru-
mors continue to come here.
Many good and reliable people say
that from what they saw and know
of the conduct OF that court and its
surroundings, that they believe that
corrupt Influences were used.
1t is true that no one has
claimed that he saw money
passed, but that proves nothing.
II any member of the court was
bribed, it surely was not done pub
licly. There would have been pres
ent only the person who gave the
bribe and the person who took it,
In such case, would the fact that
neither one of the two would con-
fess be proof of innocence?
But the surrounding circumstances
in Indian Territory and Oklahoma
were such as to start and keep the
ugly rumors going-and the people
of Greensboro know how poor Adams
was when he went to Indian Terri
tory and they knowathe evidences of
increased wealth since his return.
These reasons alone were sufficient
to start the ugly rumors, and which
| it seems will not down.
