Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith. whose zeal in the
cause of economic reform has been IN no wise
abated by the panic which he and his kind did
so much TO bring on. is out with an answer TO
President Moffett, OF the Standard OIL Com
pany OF Indiana The publication of this an
swer. It is officially given out. was delayed sew
eral weeks for business reasons" because It
was not deemed advisable to further excite
the public mind. which was profoundly dis
turbed by the crisis. Now that the storm
clouds have rolled by. however. the Comms-
sioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief points
in the defence OF the Standard oil Company, as
presented by President Moffett. were % that
the date Of six cents on oil from Whiting to
East St Louis has been issued to the Standard
oil Company as the lawful rate by employees
Of the Alton. t2) that the 1S-cent rate on file
with the Interstate Commerce Commission was
a class and not commodity rate. never being
intended TO apply TO oil. 90 that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting
and East ST. Louis over the Chicago q East
ern Illinois at ca cents per hundred pounds.
which has been filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission the lawful rate. and (4)
that the 1s-cent rate on oil was entirely out OF
proportion to lawful rates on other comrodi-
ties between these points OF a similar char
acter. and of greater value. such. for example,
as linseed oil. the lawful rate which was
eight cents. President MoiTett also stated that
thousands of tons OF freight had been sent by
other shippers between these points under
substantially the same conditions governed
the shipments of the Standard oil Company
This defence OF the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exert
ed powerful influence upon the public mind
Naturally the Administration. which has
staked the success of its campaign against
the trusts" upon the result of its attack upon
this company. endeavors to offset this infu-
ence. and hence the new deliverance of Com
missioner Smith.
We need hardly to point out that his rebut-
tai argument is extremely weak, although as
strong. no doubt. the circumstances would
warrant He answers the points made by Pres
dent Moffett substantially as follows: G) The
Standard oil Company had traffic department,
and should have known that the six-cent rate
had not been filed. (2) no answer, go the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois rate was n secret rate
because II read. not from Whiting. but from
Dolton. which is described as "a village Of
about 1900 population just outside OF Chicago
Its only claim TO note is that II has been for
many years the point of origin for this and
similar secret rates" The Commissioner ad-
mits in describing this rate that there was n
note attached stating that the rate could also
be used from Whiting.
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement of the Commissioner of Corpora
tions as conclusive refutation of what is evi-
IDENTITY recognized the strongest rebuttal
argument advanced by the Standard.
In fact, It is as weak and inconclusive as the
remainder OF his argument. The lines of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois do not run into

The headaches and dizzy feelings

Kidney diseases are very treacher-

and heed them. Backaches, twinges
Of pain when STOPPING or lifting,
headaches, faint spells and urinary
disorders are among the first warn

IL these signals are UNDECIDED, there
comes a steady. dull, heavy aching

the Chicago Post. He was the guest
of Arthur Stillwell, president of the
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient rail-

son of the same line. Nearly three
weeks were occupied in inspecting the
new railway and visiting the most
important cities and towns on the

An interesting incident of the swear
ing in of Senator Whyte two years
ago was the presentation to him of a
note which he had scrubbed in 1869 to
W. ]. Mcdonald, chief clerk of the
senate. Mr.. Mcdonald was succeeded
as chief clerk by his son, who was on
hand to welcome back the old senator
who was so well acquainted with his
father. The following excerpt from
the diary Of the elder Mcdonald ex-
plains the scrubbed note which was re-
turned to its author after nearly forty
years:
Jan. 10, 1s69-This was handed to me
by one of the senate pages and evidently
came from the facetious and most gem
tlemanly Senator Whyte of Maryland. I
Immediately laid 1t before the presiding
officer Judge Wade). who incontinently
looked in the right direction
Wind.
If Mr. Sherman should get up the rail-
road bill, don't forget to tell the presid-
ing elder TO look at the goats on this side
of the synagogue.
Senator Whyte wanted the floor for
bill, and that's the way he asked me to
get it for him. w. MD.
In his younger days Senator Whyte
was an orator of great ability and
power Charles N Richards. who is
now the oldest senate employee, recall
ed a speech that Mr. Whyte made
some thirty-five years ago. When the
Democrats gained control of the senate
in the early seventies the distribution
of patronage was discussed in a party
caucus There were several candl-
dates for Mr.. Richards place Senator
Whyte protested against his removal.
In a dramatic speech lie told how
Richards had gone to the front with
Massachusetts, regiment and had been
shot to pieces in the battle at Antie-
tam. Senator Whyte's plea touched
his Democratic colleagues, and they
voted to retain Richards in the station
cry department
Richards was badly wounded at An
tietam. but Senator Whytes descrip-
ton of his wounds was so graphic that
several senators called at the station
cry room to see the prodigy who was
able to live and breathe nOtwithstand-
ing the fact he had been struck by a
dozen cannon balls. They found Rich
ards hale and hearty. Afterwar1 SEN
atOr Whyte admitted that he might
have exaggerated somewhat in telling
Of Richards condition. but said he
could be pardoned. as he had succeeded
in retaining the services Of a man
whose only Offense was that he had
been appointed on the recommendation
Of Charles Sumner.

"The auditorium proper consists of a
parquet floor which is truly American
in its proportions. The circles are
patterned more after the European
style and consist first of mezzanine
floor, which is composed of boxes alto
gether, the presidents being directly
in the center and much larger than the
others. There will be capacious re-
ception room directly off the presi-
dents box for his exclusive use. Other
retiring rooms are back Of the boxes
all around the mezzanine floor. A bal
cony and gallery complete the seating
accommodations of the house.
THE spacious front interior of the
structure will consist first of a grand
state ballroom and then a series Of
promenades, one for each floor of the
auditorium, all stretching around a
square court which extends from the
ground to the roof. In the center Of
this court will be a fountain, around
which at all times of the year will be

SENATOR Of OLD TYPE
Qualities of the Late William
Pinkney Whyte.
MOST KIND AND COURTEOUS
Regarded In Maryland as Her "Grand
Old Man"-Had Held Nearly Every
Political Office In His State-Made
Virtue of PunctuaIity.

Good manners, an inbred courtesy
and the high department of what we
ire pleased to call the ''old school,
were the striking qualities of William
Plnkney Whyte, junior senator from
Maryland, who died a few days ago.
A senate employee whose service in
the capitol covers more than forty
years said that with the possible ex-
ception of Senator Walthall of Missis-
sippi he had never known a more cour-
teous man in public life than the late
senator from Maryland. This charac-
terization of Senator Whyte is accurate,
says a Washington correspondent Of
the New York Post, for both among his
colleagues and the senate employees he
was regarded as one of the most kindly
and sweet tempered men.
Few men had a more varied expert
ence in the hurry burly of American
politics than Mr.. Whyte His father
was one of the United Irishmen who
carried pixies in the memorial BILE ARRAYS
Of 119s. His maternal grandfather was
William Pinkney of Maryland. who
died while United States senator from
that state in 1872 It was under the
tutelage of NJ. r. McNally. who had
been secretary 10 the first Napoleon.
that Senator whyte was educated. The
deceased senator at various times held
nearly every important political office
under the government of his state.
His colleague. Senator Rayner. was not
inaccurate when in announcing the
death of Senator Whyte TO the senate
he said: He was the best known and
most beloved Of all the sons Of Mary
land. In truth. he was the grand old
man of Maryland"
When Senator Whyte was sworn in
as United States senator two years ago
he did not find among his colleagues a
single senator who had been assOCiat-
ed with him when he first entered the
senate in ISig The Maryland senator
was of the old school Of statesmen. for
he was associated as senator with Oil
yer P. Morton. Benjamin Wade. John
Sherman. Roscoe Conkling. Carl
schurz. Daniel W. voorhees, and other
men whose names were familiar in the
years Immediately following the civil
war.
