Senator Cores Charge.

The investigation of Senator Cores
charge that he was approached with a
bribery proposition in connection with
certain legislation affecting the Indians
opens with a sensational statement which
has been met promptly out of court by
absolute and unqualified denials by the
persons mentioned. This is typical of all
such proceedings The certainty of denial
following accusation, without the posi-
biiity of proof or of positive disproof,
causes the public to regard such inquiries
as of problematical value. Yet it is in
the last degree important that the process
of legislation for city or state. or nation,
should be safeguarded from the faint of
bribery, and no case. however small in
itself. is too insignificant for examination
in which the integrity of the lawmaker
is in the slightest degree involved. In
THIS instance the chief witness mentions
certain names which instantly widen the
affair into the graveSt proportions in i'm
portance. Apparently the matter will re-
solve itself into an assertion by Senator
Gore that a certain man told him certain
things involving the honor of three men
of high national standing. The one he
LANES as his informant categorically de-
MES and the three others involved are
prompt In their unequivocal denials in
turn. 1t is difficult to see in such circum-
stances what an investigating committee
can do beyond making a report of the
testimony, without recommendation, I'M
less additional circumstances arise to give
color TO one side or the other of these
Numerically opposed assertions.

Southwark Ho!
From the Boston Transcript.

from the Boston Transcript.
When the bureau Of immigration puts
its finger on the pulse of population and
reports an unprecedented migration to-
ward the south, it does little more than
record another phase of the intermittent
fever of settlement that has possessed
the country in the last 800 years. There
is little more interesting than a study OF
the movement toward the undeveloped
parts Of this nation. The tide flows west,
then east: and the northwest is hardly
in the bloom of its development before
the wave has ebbed back to the south
east. Arizona is barely admitted TO
statehood before attention falls on the
possibilities of Maine. The present
movement from the west into Georgia.
Florida and Alabama, the Carolinas and
Tennessee is curious repetition of d
tide Of settlement that passed into these
states a century and a half ago. 1t was
about 1870 that the great flood of mmi-
grafton first began to roll toward the
south. The tdewater regions of the
southern states had been settled some
years before, but as late as I.u0, when
there were over hundred thousand in
habitants In New England, there were
hardly 1900 south and west of Virginia.

Wentworth and the Track Gamblers

The people of Kenilworth, Nd, have
vigorously protested against the re-estab-
lishment of gambling place in the
neighborhood OF that village, and have
thereby laid the foundation for legal ac-
ton by the Maryland authorities IL later
the pooiroom promoters endeavor to carry
out their original program for the loca-
ton OF betting place at that point. At
present the enterprise has been suspended
In consequence of the refusal of the tele-
phone company to furnish the service
which afforded communication with the
sources OF race track news. But the ex-
perience of the past teaches that these
people are not easily discouraged or
driven from their purpose. and eternal
vigilance is necessary In fighting them to
keep them from opening shop. They are
obviously looking to the authorities of
Prince George county to move slowly
against them II they should resume opera
lions. The action of the people of Kenil-
worth, however, encourages the belief
| that IL an effort is made to resume book
making there the county officials will be
compelled to act, with all the power Of
the state Of Maryland at their back. The
laws Of that state are adequate to prevent
this business from being carried on with
in its bounda ries, and given local demand
and official promptness of action there
can be no successful invasion Of the
county by the gamblers who have been
driven out OF the District of Columbia.
In this matter the District has larger
stake than any other community The

The Tussock Moth Menace
From the Chicago Post.

FROM tne Cnlca&O POST.
II the members Of the city council
want proof OF the need OF an appro-
priation to stop the ravages Of the tus-
sock moth, they can find it on every
tree of Washington Square, on every
other tree on Dearborn avenue and
North State street, and, for that mat
ter, on thousands of trees In all parts
OF the city and its suburbs. 1t Is not
safe to di1lydally with the matter. the
citys trees are threatened with de-
struction. Massachusetts has spent ST.
100000 within a few years in the at
tempt to rid the eastern part Of the
state Of the brown tail and gypsy
moths. II the danger had been recog-
nized when the pests first appeared the
lives Of the elms of Concord and the
Common would not be in jeopardy
today. The money spent by the New
England state has been taken out of
the public funds. Great sums in adj
dition have been spent by individuals
in the attempt to save the trees on
private estates. The tussock moth can
be kept down, if not exterminated, if
the means for the work are provided.
There is one kind Of economy that is
practiced only by the foolish.

the clerfcals. There remains a chance
that the demonstrations will not occur.
The government has Communicated all the
trains affording Sunday communication
with San Sebastian On the pretext Of re-
quiring them for the moving Of troops
If they are needed. This may discourage
any large inflow of anti-government
demonstrants, but on the other hand the
temper of those who are behind the cleri-
cal manifestation is shown by the fact
that provisions are now being made for
the carriage of people in automobiles and
wagons from the neighbo ring provinces,
and the movement toward San Sebastian
has already begun.
In these circumstances it is regarded as
unfortunate that King Alfonso has left
Spain for a visit to England. This de-
parture Is in accordance with prear-
ranged schedule and cannot be regarded
as having to do with the threatened dis
turbances. Thus far Alfonso has given
every token of possessing personal cour-
age. He has not flinched In any Of the
emergencies with which he has been. con-
fronted, and it cannot be believed that
he is taking advantage of a prior ar
rangement to visit England as means
of getting out of Spain at a time of
trouble. On the contrary from all that
has been shown Of his disposition here
tofore it is to be expected that If serious
trouble occurs Sunday, with a sign of a
spread of anti-government sentiment, the
king will hasten back TO his own country
to take command of the situation in per-
son. His presence may become necessary.
Meanwhile 1t is possible that he is effect
ing arrangements with France and Eng
land calculated to be of material as
sistance if affairs in his own country
should progress to an acute crisis.

HARMONY.

\ prominent New York republican
wants his party in that state TO stor
wrangling and close ranks. lie does not
deny that there are spots on the record
But why dwell upon the spots when there
Is so much white and unstained surface
TO consider? And then he recites the val
liable laws the party has placed upon the
books In its sixteen years of unnterrupt-
ed control? His idea Is that II the party
leaders will sink their personal differ
ences and nominate a good ticket on a
PLATFORM of sound principles they Nall
carry the election.
Well, what is the matter with this sug-
gestion as applied to the national situa-
ton? Why should not the republican
leaders in all the states stop wranglins
and close ranks? They have already
loaded a good many shells for the en-
envy Is there any reason why they
should load more? Would it not be bet
ter to look to the home arsenal and see
that it lacks for nothing?
The republicans in national affairs have
enjoyed thirteen years of continuous
power. Four times since Mr. Cleveland S
day they have elected their candidate
for President, and each of those officials
has been supported by republican Con-
gress Much valuable legislation has been
written, and some of 1t been remarkably
successful The Dingley law will stand
in our history as a measure which not
only surpassed expectation at home. but
gave our rivals abroad a new idea Of our
capacity for recovery from extreme bust
ness depression.
VIC have likewise made great advances
in the control of corporations. The rail-
roads are now advised that they have a
master. and the trusts that there are
both laws and authorities to execute
them. The record, taken in it's entirety,
Is one the party is and should be
proud of.
Does all of this when properly presented
weigh as nothing against the divisions of
the past twelve months? Are there re-
publican leaders willing to go out OF
power on a difference as to the Payne
law, or a difference as to rules for con-
Quoting the business of the House? Would
from their opponents? Or set of House
rules to their taste from men who when
in control years ago put the screws
to the minority in the most approved
style?
II harmony is the need, the sooner har-
monfzers get together the better. The
primaries are over, and all the party
weaknesses stand revealed. And they are
neither few nor trivial

A Patterson Defeat.

The defeat of the Patterson judicial
| tickets in Tennessee yesterday seems
upon it's face to presage the defeat of the
Patterson state ticket In November. From
now until then the campaign will ring
with the same cries that brought about
yesterdays result, plus the prestige of
the result itself. Victory i'm such case
is great heartener In politics waverers
study returns with care: and democratic
waverers in the Big Bend state will now
look with increased distfust on the Pat
terson side Of the controversy.
At the same time much will depend on
the personnel of the anti-Patterson state
ticket yet to be nominated. The repub-
licans in very large numbers supported
the anti-Patterson judicial tickets% Yes
terday's triumph, therefore. was strictly
an Independent triumph. Neither re-
publicans nor democrats as such Can
claim it. Can 1t be repeated with all
the state Offices in the scale?
The judicial places filled yesterday were
few in number, and are without patron
age. SO to say. And then, properly
speaking, politics should cut no figure
vote for republican for judge, or re-
publican for a democrat
But it is different in the matter of state
offices. They are political, and carry
large political influence. They reach into
every county, and may be used to affect
In some measure public sentiment there.
The defeat Of Gov. Patterson >and his as
sociates on the democratic state ticket,
therefore. will mean far-reaching changes
in state affairs political lines.
This gives to the work Of naming an
anti-Patterson ticket and of organizing
for its support at the polls very great i'm
portance. The candidate for governor
should be a man appealing to the indie
pendents, and one capable of making an
aggressive campaign on the stump. Gov.
Patterson is a speaker of power. and will
of course strive for himself with all the
ability he possesses. In his case every
thing is at stake. If he fails in November
he will disappear from the political arena
forever.
The republicans of Tennessee have al
ways been well led, and for years main
tanned an excellent state organization.
They have several men in their ranks
today easily measuring up to the present
occasion. Will they insist upon improv-
ing the occasion? And will the indie
pendents support the ticket if the re-
publicans put one up?
