E.Iors views on Democracy.

1--WE are all inextneably bound to-
gelher. Therefore, freedom is not go
lag toa thing ofsolitude, or isolation,
or ipdiyidualism; it must be q social
thing; in short, must be democracy
What Is democracy? IT is the coop
GRAFTON of all sorts and conditions Of
men united to preserve the rights Of
the person and the rights Of property
In the whole structure Of civilization,
10 the cooperative method of securing
those rights.
"We sometime speak Of democracy
as if it's fundamental doctrine was the
equality Of men; but there is no such
thing as equality among men in any
proper sense; because human nature
has inGniteIvariety ,and the individuals
Of the race exhibit aaiinequaiity which
il absolutely and literally infinite.
You cannot make men and womcr
alike; you cannot make two children
IN the same family alike.
Therefore, democracy would be
lighting the fasts Of nature If il sought
70 bring about a monotonous equality
Of men. 1t never undertook that Inn
possible job. Democracy simply in
sists upon equal security for all prop
critics, large or small, and VI whatever
SORT The equal rights OF persons and
Of property is the sole sense in which
dem oeracy rneans equality. But de-
moeracy does mean cooperation, work

company the $4,000 contract, which
il is now trying to recover from the

was shown him today-that his COM

900 worth Of whiskey by means OF
the regular printed bid, which was
sent out in those days by the State
dispenSary officials.
The letter which opened the eyes OF
Mr.. Chambers, and which Col. Fielder
said nothing about until he had ques-
toned Mr.. Chambers very closely as
to the correspondence between Good
man and his company, set forth that
Goodman was to be paid S. per bar
rel on bulk goods as his commission.
Yet Mr.. Chambers had but few mo-

consider $50 per barrel very good

Der Of celebrated epistles, one being
from q county dispenser who asked
for consideration at the hands Of this
company on the ground that his doc

1t had been believed thai ihc trans
actions by this company were as near

Mr.. Curiel. the manager of the New
York office, and others we're present,
as was Mr.. McClain. his general coun-
sci and law partner Of Congressman
Perkins of New York. It was finally
decided to put Mr.. Curiel under bond
to appear here and to require the pre-
sentation Of his books. Some remon-
STRANGE had been made that it would
require a freight car to bring all of
the books, but Col. Fielder ridiculed
this idea. These people had not been
paid $22,500 which they claimed,
The attorneys for the State figured
out that S6,733. A should be deducted
as the amount Of graft in the case.
This charge of graft was 1epudiated
by the lawyers on the other side. How
ever, they admitted overcharges and
claimed that this was due in part to
t!e freight being included.
Col. Fielder ma very adrcit az
gument, sustaining Mr.. Lyons posi-
tion. Both gentlemen declared that
the claim is filed with overcharges
and they would not accept the offer
by attorneys to accept the reduction
and withdraw from the State.
It is expected that today the
Fleischmann case will come up, also
that Of Saunders & Son of Richmond.

house, may be here today. Flelsch-
mann was the mayor Of Cincinnati. It

The commission winding up the af-

day yesterday, but those who are on
the inside say that its effects will be
noted later. In brief the commission
went on record as insisting upon its
mandates being obeyed and the books
of original entry being presented as
demanded.
There was a good deal of talk by
counsel and more or less skirmishing
which seemed unnecessary, but the
commission finally ruled that if whis-
key houses really wish to get their
claims adiudicated, they must present
their books-or take their chances.

DISPENSARY HEARING.
Alleged Letter M. A. Goodman, Offer
ing Him a Commission Of S5
Per Barrel.

Columbia, May 10.-Working up
to climax in the manner that has
caused him to be feared by represen-
tatives Of whiskey houses in days gone
by, Col. T. B. Fielder this morning at
the session of the winding-up commls-
sion of the old State dispensary
sprang the first sensation of the re-
newed investigation by producing
from his pocket a letter from George
T. Nelson, agent Of E. A. Saunders 4
Co., Of Richmond, to NJ. 4. Goodman,
now under indictment in the alleged
dispensary graft case, the letter set
ting forth the details Of the transac
ton by which Goodman was to be paid
a large commission t. get business Tor
Nelson's firm in this State. The dis
closure was made during the examlna-
ton Of the only witness before the
commission this morning, MIR. NJ. II.
Chambers, secretary and treasurer OF
the E. A. Saunders Company, who
avowed that until the moment that
the letter was shown him he never
knew of any such transaction. "My
eyes are opened" declared Mr.. Cham
bers, "I shall not be surprised at
anything that you may show me
now Mr.. Chambers underwent a
close examination on the stand for
about three hours today, and many
interesting facts came out during the
course Of his remarks.
Under the fire of questioning by
Col. Fielder. Mr.. Chambers admitted
that he had not examined his letter
files for any letter to or from Good
man, as required by the mandate OF
the commission sent out recently when
it was decided to give the whlskey
houses another chance to produce
their books. letter files and any pa
pers which might enlighten the COM
mission as to the transactions during
the old dispensary regime. The let
ters brought by Mr.. Chambers we're
for the most part correspondence be-
tween his firm and that of the Big
Springs Distilling Company, OF Sa-
vannah. with whom the State through
its attorneys will show the Saunders
Company worked in conjunction IN
the business done in this State, at
least in so far as the claims now un-
der consideration are concerned.
Those who have followed this dis
pensary matter are acquainted with
thu method of the whiskey houses and
their agents. All of this-in part
as to details-came out at today's ses-
sion again. And Mr.. Chambers stat
