THE GARRISON DEFENSE.

The retirement from his New York
position as a custom official of James
s. Clarkson Is receiving much atten
hon from the press of the stare. II
Is being insisted over and over again
and documents are being produced 10
show that Mr.. Clarkson has not been
Sired" on account of any connection or
guilty knowledge OF the sugar weigh
ing frauds
There seems to be too much protest.
Mr.. Clarkson has neither been accused
of crooked practice on any reputable
authority nor has he been under sus-
picion in Iowa when he is in general
fepute as an honest man.
There seems slight occasion or ex-
cuse for Introducing testimony for the
defense in case that mas never been
brought and that would be laughed
out of. court unless accompanied by
very explicit evidence. No doubt Mr..
Clarkson finds the situation embarras-
sing, and realizes that the loving zeal
of friendship has its unpleasantness OF

words and the tone of his voice the
scarcity Of the class of ministers who
had money enough to obtain what all
men would like to have.
1t brought directly to our mind a
thing upon which we have many times
meditated, but which is not in these
days as universally true as 1t was at a
time not far in abe past the poverty Or
a. least the very moderate circun'-
stances OF the majority OF ministers OF
the gospel of whatever denomination.
Why is 1t that the buying OF "a farm by

CLEANING OUT THE GANG.
rrJa~n-a, Chronicle

In every state in the union there IS
group of men working in the DOM
tnant party to throw off the control OF
capital in the politics Of that state. In
New York for example, there is
Hughes. His fight has been for the
restriction Of capital to its legitimate
fields. He is trying to drive it out of
politics by the adoption of the direct
primary. which we are told will de
s,roy the organization" If the organ
ization is merely the syndicate OF pol
.ticians financed by holders Of improp-
er privileges, as in other states, it
should be destroyed as It has been de-
stroyed and is being destroyed in 9TH
er states
The New York fight is typical of the
fight in every state The fight of Cum
Minis in Iowa is such a fight. The
struggle of Folk and Hadley in Mis-
souri, against the organization of their
parties is a similar contest to that IT
Hughes in New York Ben Lindsay in
Denver is giving battle TO the same
foe. The campaign of the Lincoln
Roosevelt League in California which
* fighting Herrin and the Southern
Pacific. the campaign of Stubs and
Rristow in Kansas, who have just
whipped the railroads in Kansas, are
but skirmislles in the general battle

The Cannon Aldrich segment of the
party can therefore afford to stand

and they can be trusted to concede
nothing. If the president asks for the
enactment of any legislation which will
be in any way unfavorable to the trusts
or the big corporations generally, he
may anticipate defeat If the Cannon
Aldrich forces can accomplish it. The
president, it is said, expects TO win
his way with the conservatives in con-
gress by diplomacy.

with these people will be the diplomacy
