RUSSELL fTISRKPRE.
SENTEp.

Il
The Charleston Republican, as
frequently before, published In
the last issue q false statement
about the record Of J. ]. Russell
while in congress-. Induiging In
these fslsehoods may be pleasant
past time for the editor of that
paper, but we believe the most Of
his readers, both Democrats and
Republicans, are fair and honest
and would prefer to have him TO
be just to Mr.. Russell and ct least
to tell the truth.
Some time ago that paper pub.
lished an article stating that when
Mr.. Russell returned from Wash.
ington "Hs had the brass band to
meet him." This is false and tn.
band members and other citizens
know that it 10. The same article
stated that Mr.. Russell, in his
speech at the time, said that he
could do nothing in congress as
Joe Cannon would not permit him
to do anything. This was another
fslsehocd. Mr.. Russell did not
make any reference to political
matters nor mention the name Of
Speaker Cannon. Mr.. J. G.
Moore, Rev. ]. M. Bradley, Judge
L. W. Danforth hundreds OF
others were present who will 40
state.
Last week the paper attempted
to boost Mr.. Grow by comparing
his record with that OF Mr.. Russell
and in order to make it favorable
to Mr.. Grow had to make q false
statement Of the facts. It states
that Mr.. Grow got in all % bills
through congress, which may be
true, as we do not know the facts,
but it states that Mr.. Russell got
Just nine through, which Mr..
Russell says, and we know. is
absolutely false, and II the editor
of that paper knows the facts, he
knows It to be false, and IL he
does not know the facts he should
not pretend to state them.
The fact 10 that instead of nine
bills, as the paper falsely states,
iMr. Russell introduced and got
passed S5 Of bis own bills and
prepared three Others that were
introduced at his reques! and
passed through his efforts, maxi
ling SO in all. Every man of in.
telligence and who reads knows
that members usefulness, his
influence and, his standing In
congress is not measured by the
number Of bills he gets through
Some oil. the ablsst, most influen-
| tial and useful members Of con.
gress may not get q single bill ol
bis own passed, and yet be ar
ornament to his district and state
and exert the greatest influence
, In the enactment Of useful legis'
, llation,
J But even upon the theory tina
, the number OF bills one get
through is the criterion of success
Mr.. Russells record far surpasseI
Mr.. Crows. But why should th'
papers discuss the records o
these two men? They know thei
records best, and We suggest thu
they be requested to hold join
meetings in every county in th'
district and give en- account o

the sugar underweighing frauds

valuable sugar lands to the sugar
trust. The fret resolution intro.
duced by Representative John
A. Martin of Colorado providing
for an investigation by congress
was smothersd to death. Mr..
Martin has now introduced q sec.
ond resolution. He alleges that
the sugar trust has been allowed
to acquire $1,000 acres Of the
richest sugar lands in the Philli-
pines, and that the validity Of
this transaction is open to most
serious question, in view OF the
fact that the law Of the Philippines
expressly declares that not more
than 2,500 acres Of land shall be
sold to any single corporation.

The corporation interests serv.

the excessive tariff rates, which

power.

his mind easily, or he can have

Should the next House be Demo-

not care to come back to the
senate, for it would then be OBJ
vious that he could put through
none OF his own peculiar style Of
Legislation.
