The Panic Located.

When Senator La Toilette said in the Senate
last week that the financial stringency brought
about by the influence of such representatives of
the money trust the Standard Oil and Morgan
groups he reached an echoing sentiment in the mind
of every reflective individual willing to interpret
conditions with fairness.
No else outside the circle of affiliated con-
spirators in New York has been able to give the
of the panic of October and the conspirators
have wisely kept counsel with themselves Saga
cious statesmen, frank with the public and them
selves, have expressed the suspicion that hard times
were precipitated because the men who wanted the
moral effect of widespread suffering produced the
hard times
Mr.. La Toilette bluntly stated that ''the recent
financial stringency in the country was brought
about by the influence of the Standard Oil and
J. Pierpont Morgan" He said that in his place in
the Senate and the Senators paid little attention to
him. But the public was listening as it now always
listens to the few courageous men that mount the
rostrum in its behalf.
The groups of interests called to the bar of ac-
cusation by Mr.. La Toilette, unable to stay the
movement set in motion by the administration, with
the backing of bold reformers the country over

most of the available money in the country and
then refusing to return it to its lawful Their
purpose to discredit the administration be
able to charge financial CONFUSION to the demand
for the enforcement of laws against monopoly and
the creation of more stringent laws against
nopoly
Mr. La Toilette was conscientious and bold enough
to charge this in his arraignment of the interests
on the floor of the Senate while discussing the cur
rency bill that Mr.. A1drich is endeavorng to fost
upon the country as part of the game played by
the Rockefellers and the Morgans

Forlorn Hope Claims.

Out of the weak and scarcely visible efforts of the
New York World and its associates to place the man
tie of Bryan on the shrinking shoulders of Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, the anti-Bryanites of the
National capital have forth the boast that they
have already won. They have induced the truculent
Associated Press to say this in their behalf although
the Johnson movement will not be sustained in a
single State of the West or South and in but few
States of the East
The Johnson movement has brought no change
in the situation and when the States begin to select
their delegates to the Denver convention it will be
seen that the Minnosotan is not factor in con-
vention intentions.
The J. J. Hill interests in the West are assisting
the corporation interests in New York in the ma
npulaton of the Johnson boom, and the Hill in
fuence in Minnesota would possess considerable
strength but for the fact that Minnesota and con-
tiguous States have aroused themselves against rail
road interference in politics and government

In a report submitted to the House,
Chairman Boutelle and his colleagues
review the testimony and declare with
entire unanimity that no member of
the House and no representative of the
press have been induced by officers of
the Electric Boat Company to act from
corrupt or improper motives.
Furthermore, the committee finds
that Mr.. Lilley allowed himself to be
used as an instrument of the Lake
Boat Company in questioning the in

the investigating committee and in at
