day as the result of bribery. This l
think is the opinion of the American
people. But the fact that out of n
total of eight-siX votes, forty sena-
tors voted the seat vacant because of
corruption, makes 1t the most not
ables vote ever cast on a question OF
that kind in the history of the senate.
The creation of a tariff commiss-
ion, largely increasing the powers of
the present tariff board, is of high
est importance. No legislation has
been enacted, except the passage of
the railroads bill during the last
session of such great Importance.
1t means the end of legislative log
rolling tariff making. In the fu-
ture congress will have information
from disinterested sources and not
rom the parties seeking to profit by
tariff legislation.
On the whole, the results of the
session are highly encouraging to the
progressive movement.

law, is an item Of $4,000 paid to
the city by the Toledo Railways a.
Light company as aresult of "A set

paving and the company for lighting.
No one asserts that any of this money
was misapproprlated but the account
ants insist that 1t should have been
turned into the sinking fund, instead
of being used for city expenses
There is no charge that any of this
money was illegally spent. City Of

more than $500. Street department
officials are said to have spent 49,

The Lorliner Disgrace.

In the opinion of the people of this
country-possibly four-hfths of them
the United States senate, in acquit-
ting Lorimer, condemns itself. If
there was any doubt about Lorimer,
he ought to have been expelled. In
fact, to be member of the United
States senate a mans title should be
as clear as daylight. That Lorim-
er's isn't every man knows.
The popular distrust OF the United
States senate is increased by this
exculpation of Lorimer 1t is no use
to deny this distrust for the gerat
demand for the popular election of
senators is the fruit of it. All the
machine politicians and men suspect
ed of the use of money to obtain
their seats in the senate. voted for
Lorimer. Also, the lame ducks who
had been repudiated by the people,
seemed intent on getting even with
the Republican party by voting for
Lorimer.

Where Technically Failed.

An offset to the long continued
services of the Supreme Court of
California to the San Francisco
grafters in granting them immun-
ity on technicalities appears in the
news that after some hesitation that
body has refused Abraham ]. Ruef,
a rehearing and directed his impris-
onment under the sentence of the
lower court.
This, as Mr.. Heney indicates, is
a decided alteration In the attitude
of that body. In some of the for
mer cases 1t has been refuge of the
convicted and has rescued them by
technical rulings. For instance, the
conviction of Schmidt was vacated
because the indictment did not
specify that he was Mayor of San
Francisco. The testimony showed IT.;
the Court and jury knew It; but the
absence of the allegation from the
indictment was fatal. The Court
granted Ruef a rehearing once; but
in that action it required of the
lower court did not apply to 1t. For
1t did not issue the order for a re-
hearing in court; but sent 1t around
to the various members for sigma
ture at their residences, and lone
member had the misfortune to ap-
pear by the official date of the order
to have signed 1t when he was out
of the State. This irregularity be-
ing brought out, the Court had to
quash its own order. and on furth-
er ncoslderation refused new trial
What wind of popular or other wish
made Itself felt on this Court is
not told.
Ruef will now go TO prison. There
we're bigger raseals than he in the
corruption who escape. But 1t is
some mitigation that he must take
the penalty.-Plttsburg Dispatch.
