surance company to the republican campaign fund was that the election of Mir Bryan as president might in- jure the business of the company. In his case the supreme court held that there was no criminal intent.
 It was well known in 1900 that the big men of the big corporations were contributing heavily to the Mckinley campaign fund for the expressed pur- pose of saving the nations honor and credit, but it was not known at the time that the self-styled defenders of the nations honor and credit were footing insurance and trust companies to aid the republican candidates. h. yestigations which have been held since have disclosed this. Thomas w. Lawson has given his testimony that the stock gamblers of Wall street in their fear of losing their profitable graft raised several million dollars for the republican campaign fund.
 What was done in 1900 by the ma tion's honor and credit defenders" in the way of glorious larceny" was merely repetition of what was done by them in 1896. when the first de feat of Bryan was accomplished. But for this extensive robbery and contri- outing to the republican corruption fund Mir Bryan would certainly have been elected president

STORY OF A
 CAMPAIGN FUND.

Mir. Hearst's papers are so far ire quently wrong because of their own CTS desire to besmirch the character of men he cannot control that we do not as a rule give credence to any of their charges. But the New York American is about to prove the facts of an interesting story to the effect that interested parties now allege that the money realized from the loot ing of the Metropolitan Securities company was paid to Thomas F. Ky an, William c. whitney, A. B. Wide ner, Thomas Dolan and William L. EIkins to reimburse them for contri- buttons to the Mckinley fund of 1900.
 The footing of the company is be- ing probed and the explanation of the disappearance of the money-neariy sI, 900, ,000-is said to have leaked out of the grand jury room, to which men who were prominently connected with the company were recently sum moned to testify in the matter
 Those who are responsible for the misappropriation of the money in question are said to expect to crawl through the same legal hole that af- forded escape for George v. Perkins. the partner of J. Pierpont Morgan. whose excuse for giving s5o.ooo of the funds of the New York Life In

At the risk of again being accused of trying to butt in on republican politics. we renew the suggestion that the republicans of Arizona owe a vote of confidence and thanks to Senator Foraker of Ohio for his great service to the territory in the joint statehood fight.
 The democrats in the house are waging vigorous campaign, having for it's purpose an inducement to the republican majority, to enact reform legislation generally demanded by the people and some of which has been specifically recommended by the president. Referring to this effort on the part of the democrats the Omaha World-Herald says: Ut is well to keep the issue clearly in mind. The democrats are demanding certain leg islation. which the republicans not only refuse to pass, but thus far have reused even to consider. The repub- licans are determined this congress shall do nothing it is not absolutely compelled to do; the democrats in sist that it should do all it can do in the way of remedial legislation. Meet ing with obstinate republican refusal. the democrats decided to filibuster in behalf of certain measures. and it is this flibuster that has aroused re- publican wrath. What are the meas ures? Briefly. they are these: To compel the publicity of campaign con tributions; to prohibit child labor in the District of Columbia and the ter ritories; an employers liability law; federal liability to government em ployes; law to prohibit the issuance of labor injunctions without notice; law to prohibit the issuance of fed eral injunctions against the enforce ment of state laws without reason able notice and fair hearing; to re- move the tariff on wood pulp and printing paper; laws specifically pre- serving to trades unions the rights that have been threatened by recent supreme court decisions These are some of the things the democrats of the house are fighting for. These are some of the measures the majority is throttIing. These measures are favored by Roosevelt; they are fav- cred by Bryan; they are favored by the people But the republican lead CTS of the house are hostile and so are the powerful influences that have | weight with those leaders. That Is why the congress is marking time, frittering away week after week, and month after month doing nothing The democrats can well afford to sub nit the issue to the country. They can well afford to be denounced on on the floor of the house by Mir Payne, amidst salvos of republican applause, for exerting their influence for laws that are fair and just and necessary, and that the entire coun try is demanding. The republican party will have heavy load to carry when 1t comes to defend the record of the present congress before the voters this fall"

Wants New FIre ReauIatIon.

Chief Belt Of the Washington nrs
department is working for new regu-
lation to prohibit the stablingof horses
on any but ground floors of buildings
in the District Of Columbia In all Of
the numerous stable fires that have
occurred in the District Of Columbia
during the last 40 years says the
chief. Il have never known of a horse
being rescued when it was stabbed
above or below the ground floor and
the fire originated on the first floor.
Disregarding the danger to which
horses are exposed when stabbed
above or below the ground floor Of
any building, it should also be borne
In mind that the rescuing Of horses
from a burning stable is one of the
most hazardous duties devolving upon
the members of the fire department.
These animals become panio-stricken,
cannot be led, and the firemen are con-
stantly exposed to the danger of being
knocked down and trampled upon.
This is true in the case of horses
stabbed on the first floor, and when
they are kept on any floor above or
below the first floor the danger Incl
dent to their rescue is corresponding
ly increased"

were at one time often called upon

forces with which the earl of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 500 dogs. IN the Scot

England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace

his pursuers by killing a follower and

1861.

different classes Of people, but chiefly
by the legislators. More than a gen.
Grafton Of representatives in congress,
and particularly the new fellows, were
in the habit OF leaning upon the
brusque-mannered, book.absorbed
spofford. Yet during all the period,
nearly half a century. which the r.
brarian spent In Washington, nobody
ever succeeded in finding out what his
politics were.
It is doubtful II he leaned toward
any party. He was student and a
keen critic of the game, but he never
dipped into Il TO the extent Of reveal
ing even a symptom Of partisanship.
The difficulties underlying such neu-
trality may better be understood when
It is stated that Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike in congress lent ear to his
wisdom when they found themselves
in tight pinches. He never gave un-
solicited advice. but when he was ap-
preached by a man desirous OF profit
ing by his experience and counsel he
never considered the party end OF the
proposition, but told what he thought
OF the situation in a straight from the
shoulder, take It OF leave It, manner
that could admit Of no doubt as to his
meaning
Nor did Il make the slightest differ
ence to him whether his advice was
followed or not. Probably Spoford
did not know. In one case ont Of a
hundred. whether or no his counsel
had been adopted. He was that un-
usual combination, book submerged
man who was yet always in close
touch with the doings Of the world,
but he considered the affair at an end
when a public man asked him what
he thought Of a certain situation in
politics, got the answer and went his
way.
He was well beloved for his sound
sense and his humor and a certain
quaintness Of temperament and dispo-
sition by a line Of public men extend

Washington as to knotty points OF
parliamentary procedure He wrote
a standard book on that subject. and
It was no unusual thing for speakers
Of the house Ike Blaine and Keifer
and Crisp and Henderson and Can.
non to ask spofford to help them to
unravel knotty parliamentary kinks
that came up.
Perhaps he will be remembered
longer for his amazing memory than
for any other reason. He could not,
as was said Of Macaulay, remember
the happenings on the day when he
was born, nor did he perform such
Naeaulay feats as committing the
whole Of Milton or Homer or the
Bible to memory. Nevertheless, II
was said Of Spofford by scholars both
in this country and of Europe that
probably he possessed the most phe
nomenal memory of any man that
