Washington, June 13.-- Special. )-- Only a few days before the adjourn nlent of the Sixtieth Congress, Repre- sentatives Hughes of New. Jersey and Rainey of Illinois took a poll or the Democratic side of the House to as- certain what. if any. sentiment there was in that body favorable to Francis Burton Harrison for the Democratic nomination for the Vice. Presidency at Denver in July. and the result was not only surprising but startling.
 John sharp Williams, the Democratic leader, whose forensic blade is the keenest of them all. was first to take his stand fin the long array of earnest Democrats who know q man when they see one, and who. without envy or cant can do a fellow-member honest justice. Old Champ Clark, of Missouri (Mr. Clark's friends use the term "old" in . spirit of endearment) added his name unlikely to succeed on the floor of the House. saying:
 T do not care to have the impress sion go out that am endeavoring to influence the delegates in their sciec- tion of nominees at Denver. Harrison has made a great record in congrass and Is deserving of any honor the party may see 1t to bestow upon him.
 Probably the biggest member of the House ranking next to John Sharp Williams and Champ Clark is Henry D. Clayton. of Eufaula, Ala, who will be temporary chairman of the Denver Convention, said when asked by his two colleagues what he thought of Harrison as a candidate for v'ce-Pres- . ident on the National Democratic tick ct;
 Harrison would make a splendid candidate for vice~P President.
 This much coming from one az cau- tious as Representative Clayton at this time, when he must be diplomatic. lest he say something to injure the success of MT. Bryan. speaks the more eloquently in favor of Representative Harrison of New York.
 Representative Oscar Underwood of Birmingham joined his colleague, Clay ton, in naming Harrison winner in this language:
 T see no reason why Francis Burton Harrison of New York would not make as strong q Vice-Prssidential nominee as could be named.--
 Favored by Colleagues.
 Tn justice to the two members of the House who took the initiative in sound ing Democrattic sentiment. Represent atives Hughes and Hainey, 1t Is proper that they be quoted. Congressman Hughes said:

 Congressman Rainey said: e
 T have been advocating the nomina- ton of Francis Burton Harrison for the vice-Presidency for the last six months. He is young, aggressive, brainy and commands the respect and admiration of every one acquainted with him. He would add dignity and strength to the ticket"
 There are two questions which may influence the selection of a candidate for Vice President on the Democratic ticket. One that is sectional and the other Is financial. Shall he come from the South or East? The candidate for the Presidency will be from the middle West.
 All the encouragement from the North and East rendered to the South suggesting Q Presidential lcandtdate from the South has met with cold com fort. Many leading Democrats from the Northern parts of the Union urged Senator Culbertson to allow the use of his name us a candidate for President and with no word of asesnt from the South of the Texas Senator. himself IL seems to have been the universal con sensus of opinion that the time Is not yet ripe to trot out Southern candi- dates for these higher national honors. Then wh ere will we turn? To the East for candidate and financial succor
 Let us address our attention to the financial sidc Of the question. What hes been the ignoble practice of the party in the past and especially in 1896. and 1e04f Candidates for the Vice Presidency had to have the coin. They had the coin but could not get tn c votes, which speaks fatteringiy of the Integrity of the American electorate.
 If the mercenary side of the Demo- cratic cause miist be appeased, Mir. Harrison will be acceptable. as he Is Q gentleman of independent fortune. but the mention of money is obnoxious both to him and his friends.
 Lauded by Howard.
 Representative Howard of Georgia has many pleasant things to say about Mir. Harrison. but he does not mention his wealth. Mir. Howard says:

Questions of inequity. where the railroads and the parties aggrieved cannot agree, can be referred to the In- terstate Commerce Commission to be passed upon.

soMETHINa ABoUT RATEs.

The FrfeGht Charges Are Paid By Con~
 sumner and Not Shipper.
 Luis Jackson. Industrial Agent of the Erie Railroad. has written a very interesting article for the current number of the American Review of Re- views concerning freight rates Mir. Jackson is particularly ftted for a dfs- eussion of question of this nature. as in locating of industries along e rail- road the question of freight rates Is paramount.
 Tn the course of his article. Mir. Jack son considers the passenger rates are a great deal more of tax than freight rates and advocates as low a passen- ger fare aH can reasonably be made com mensurate with profit to the railroad. When 1t comes to the freight rate, the writer seems to show conciusiyeiy that the rate is not paid by the shipper but by the conaumer and that the burden on the consumer Is so tnnnftesirnaI on the ordinary things used in the course of existence that the rate hardly en- ters into consideration. He says:
 Take the matter of wearing apparel. for instance. The er-rnenttoned goods classify in the main as first class
 The fist-class freight rate from New York to Chicago, a distance in the rough, of 1000 miles, is 75 cents per 100 pounds, or three-fourths of a cent per pound.
