His only hope is In the JUS

the chief captain, was already convinced
that Paul was no brigand. He was not a
gross offender against the state. 1t was
a question of Jewish law that had thrown
his inflamnrable countrymen into con-
d.tion of uncontrolIa BILE madness. Plain
ly 1t was the duty of the state to protec'
him from their lawless passion. ms

fore them. Paul knew that but for the
ruard stationed conveniently near his life
would not be worth a rush. He must
speak. But with what words would ne
address them. His speech must be de-
tense. and yet he must seek to conciiiate
his hearers.

Mr. Elkins on Senatorial Methods

The voice of Stephen B. Elkins was raised against the monopolistic control of the Senate by the justly celebrated firm of Aldrich, Hale < Lodge, and no one has yet defended that firm or refuted in any manner any of Mir Elkins' statements. All that he said stands uncontradicted, and here is a specimen brick culled from his speech:
 q was told in a somewhat semi-confi- dential way that the finance committee, which Is now in session in the new office building of the Senate, would have no hearings; that nobody and no interest was going to be allowed to be heard and present their case. I asked: Might a sen ator not be permitted to be heard?' I was told by the party he did not know. but I might be permitted to do so if I should just come under the yoke, be good, be obedient and servile and promise to report every morning at a certain place to which alf roads in the Senate lead. and there get instructions, I might be heard and have a chance to defend the interests of my state. I then asked if I prom ised all these things, in addition to being heard before the finance committee, would I have a chance, perhaps once a week, in open Senate to make a motion to ad journ He said: You might get permis- sion once week to move to adjourn per haps.'"

It Is bill of New England, by New England, for New England, and other sections, including West Virginia, will be expected to keep hands off and to go about their business.
