WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Lobby and the People.

The scandalous action of the cor poration lobby which brought about the defeat of the Chandler Whiton amendment to the Barnum public util- ities bill cannot be too widely adver- tised if the people of the state are ever to be aroused to the existence of forces in government and legislation which are much more powerful than they are. New details are continually being add ed to the shocking picture of the de- gradation of a legislature and there is unhappily no reason to doubt the truth of them. The accounts sent broadcast have made many converts to the cause of state supervision of corporations,

 The morning was a wonderful thing of color and charm. Blue was the ocean below, as blue as the sky above, a radiant cloudless, transparent blue, refiecting in ether and sea the shim- mering, dazzling rays of the sun. Bruce breathed in the, clear air with keen est enjoyment and revelled in the sun and ocean light. gaining with every draught new courage for the task he had set himself.

MACVEAGH'S ACTION
COMES AS SURPRISE.
Calls a Halt on Mlntlng Of
New Lincoln Pennies.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh announces
that he has decided to have the mint
ing of the new Lincoln pennies
stopped for the present and that new
dies will be prepared as soon as pos.
sible, eliminating the initials OF the
designer, which now appear SO prom
inently, and substituting the single
initial "B" In an obscure part of the
design. The secretary said that none
of the pennies issued so far would be
called in, but that the minting would
be stopped because a sufficient supply
was on hand. The initials "V. ID. B."
are those of the designer, V. ID. Bren-
ner of New York. The single initial,
In an inconspicuous place, will be
left In the new dies as recognition of
Mr. Brenner's work
This decision as to changing the
dies created much surprise, as 1t had
been announced at the treasury de
partment that the new coins would be
continued In circulation for the pres
ent, at least, and that the use of the
initials on them was merely In line
with a custom that had prevailed for
years. The prominent position given
the initials. however, awakened wide
spread criticism and Secretary Mac
veaghs action followed further con,
sideration of the matter.

facturers repudiated the agreement
which had made free hides possible.
Showing much feeling Mr. Warren
called upon Senators Aldrich, CALM
ger and Dick to say what they thought
of the doctrine of free raw material.
All declared that they did not ap-
prove of the idea of admitting hides
free of duty. Mr. Aldrich said he
knew of no Republican and no protec-
zionist who favored the doctrine of
free raw materials as understood by
Mr. Mills and MIR. Cleveland. Very
similar replies were received from
Senators Bristow, Dolliver, Oliver and
Flint, who were called upon to state
their views.
Bailey Opposes Report.
Never before had tariff bill passed
under such a storm of disapproval,
said Mr.. Bailey (Tex). speaking in
opposition to the report. Crossing the
aisle and directing his remarks spe-
officially to Mr.. Aldrich Mr. Bailey de-
clared that nobody believed in the
doctrine of free raw material, adding
that the Rhode Island senator did not
believe in it except when it affected
New England interests.
But" he said, when you take the
tax off hides for the benefit of New
England people the people will take a
tax out of your hides in all those
Western states.
Ripples of laughter swept over the
chamber at this remark, In which Mr..
Aldrich could not refrain from joining.
Senator Aldrich closed the debate
for the Republicans. He declared the
bill is the most important and com
prehensive act ever adopted by the
American congress. He challenged
Mr.. Bailey statement that the rates
were higher than the present law.
This BILL" he said, "is not to be
Judged by the average ad valorem II
carries, or by any particular ad va
loren, but by the character of the
measure as a whole"
After consideration of little ovel
an hour the senate unanimously
adopted the concurrent resolution re
