Standard Oil and Foraker.

There's a loud racket being raised over the
disclosure of the fact that Senator Foraker, of
Ohio, was paid nearly $4,000 for his ''ser
vices in connection with the defeat Of some
anti-corporation legislation.
Why should anyone be- surprised? Is it
piece of news to be told that the big corpora
tons bride Our Congressman, our judges, Our
legislatures? How else can they rule the land?
We must endeavor to be calm and reason
able. We must not expect angelic methods
from the human beings who manage Our big
corporations. If we restrict them to Arcadian
standards, how can we expect such benevolent
creatures as the Tobacco Trust and the Stand
ard Oil to wax great in power and profits?
Suppose, forsooth that the rock-ribbed Dem
ocrats who organized the Tobacco Trust had
never bought a COngressman-Wou1 Congress
have passed those bills which drove small
dealers out of the tobacco trade and made the
Trust logical consequence?
Do you suppose that the great Whiskey
Trust could have secured the shameful govern
mental favors it enjoys without having to bride
the public men who voted them?
Take the Sugar Trust-did not Cleveland's
man, John G. Carlisle, write the schedules, in
the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill, which the Sugar
Trust demanded, in return for it's contribu-
ton to the Democratic campaign fund?
publican leaders in Republican states, and
Democratic leaders in Democratic states. Buy
Foraker? Of course they did. A national
disgrace? Of course it is.
Butisnt Dave Francis, of Missouri, Stand
ard Oil man? Of course he is. And isn't he a
Bryanite all right? Of course. And wasn't
he the man who dug the pit for poor Bailey?
To be sure;
Foraker and other Republican leaders do the
dirty work on the Republican side; but neither
Standard Oil, nor any other one of these mon
strous aggregations of capital, could rule the
land as they do unless they could buy Demo-
cratic leaders, also
For instance-what is the secret of the sud-
dent let-up in the fight which Tammany Demo-
Gratis were making on Pat McCarren in New
York? The Standard Oil in this campaign, is for
Bryan, and harmony between the Standards
Senator, McCarren, and the Standards Tam
many is necessary to Bryans success Hence
Tammany is ordered to make peace with the
notorious Standard Oil henchman, McCarren,
who represents the corporation in New York,
as Foraker does in Ohio

The Hams Case
Anyone who imagined that the ThaW
trial reached the limit of Photographic
indecency, in its revelations of the de-
pravity existing in our best society,""
will probably have reason to change
such an opinion when the details of
the coming Hams trial begin to de-
velOp. In the maze of vile inSinuatiOnS
that hangs over the principals in this
tragedy can be perceived an utter de-
generacy that has had no parallel. If
a tenth of the charges and counter
charges that have been made are based
on fact the Hams trial will depict a
condition of affairs that will shock the
country. The vilest denizens of the
Tenderloin would blush with Shame if
accused of habits and practices such as
are attributed to some of those in
vOlved in this Wretched drama of trmy
life.
In the outlines Of this tragedy there
is nothing new. An outraged husband,
maddened by the wrongs he had Suf-
fered killed the man whom he believed
guilty of leading his wife astray.
Husbands have Wreaked vengeance in
this manner since marriage became an
Institution. and have often been upheld
by their fellows. But Mrs. Hams al
leges that the accusations are false,
and that her confessions was wrong
from her by compulsion, and hints
darkly that her husband was de-
generate of the most loathsome kind.
There are stories afIoat Of wild mid
night orgies. and drunken men and
women engaged in shameful reVels-
all the denominations of vice existing
in a society that poses as piOus and
respectable
When the Hams trial is finished, we
may look upon Harry ThaW as a gem
tleman and a scholar, Stanford White
as guilty only of minor pecadilloes,
and Evelyn Thaw real angel child"
unspotted of the world.

Washington, June B. Representative
Charles n. LittIefeld Of Maine Is the
recipient Of a great honor, 10 which il
attached small fortune, al the bands
of the supreme court of The United
States. He has been appointed master
to take evidence in one Of the most in
taresting and unique suits ever brought
by one state OF the union against an
other the slut Of Virginia to compel
West Virginia to bear her portion Of the
debt Of the Uld Dominion incurred before
