discussed and explained that in his speech

ton Of having been considered by the
committee
The bill will go to the House this morn
ing, and before the close of the day a
motion will be made by Chairman Under
wood either to concur in the Senate
amendments and send the bill to the
President for his veto. or they will dis
agree and ask for a conference But
there was strong disposition last night
among the House Democrats to concur
and get rid Of the tariff troubles on Capt.
tol Hill. With the passage of the cotton
bill through the Senate, together with its
amendments, the Democrats made a
clean sweep of the tariff yesterday. There
is nothing pending before the Senate.
The free list bill, which was concurred in
by the House, was accepted by both
Houses yesterday and will go to the
President for the veto.
The Presidents veto message by
which he returned the woolen bill to
Congress was received in the House
yesterday afternoon. Chairman I'm
House adjourned that Immediately
after the reading of the journal to-
day in the House. he would move to
pass the bill over the Presidents veto.
This motion will probably prevail in
the House, but can hardly pass in the
Senate.
Early Adjournment Probable.
Plans are working for an early ad-
tournment. 1t would not be surprising
II when the two Houses meet at noon
to-day they would continue in session
without interruption until the session
is finally adjourned. There is de-
termination If possible to end the ses-
sion before the close of the legislative
day tomorrow. 1t may have been this
spirit among the Democratic leaders in
the Senate which prompted them to
cast Senator La Toilette overheard yes
terday and take charge of the tariff
legislation themselves.
The insurgents were saddened last
night over the way in which the Demo-
cratic Senators cut loose from them. They
admitted that there was nothing before
Congress for them to discuss except such
comment as they may be able to make
when the question comes up of passing
some Of the tariff bills over President
Tafts veto. Senator Bristow said last
night that he saw very little left for the
insurgents to do except to promote the
early adjournment Of Congress and then
go out and appeal to the country.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. w. MACY.
WHY ILLINOIsANS ARE
CALLED, SUCKERS.

Two or three explanations of
why the people of Illinois are
called Suckers" have been given,
but probably the. most plausible
is the one in connection with
the lead mines at Galena. In the
early settlement Of the Mississip-
pi Valley marvellous stories were
circulated concerning fortunes
made at the mines, and these at
tracted to Galena ana vicinity q
great many of the Illinois farm
ers. especially from the lower
portion Of the State. 1t was GUS
tomary for them. after putting in
their spring crops. to ascend the
Mississippi and labor st the mines
until fall. and then return to
gather their crops; thus imitat-
ing the hsh called suckers. which
ascend tho river In the spring TO
deposit their spawn. and return
in the fall. Hence such persons
were called suckers" and the
term became general IN Its appli-
cation 70 AL the citissns Of the
STATE.

Housecleaning Needed.

In the past two days the Wiley IN
vestigation has assumed enormous pro-
portions. 1t has passed from. the ques-
ton of the crookedness of few SUBJ
ordinate officials in one of the depart
ments to the trial of the administration
before jury of the American people.
1t is nothing to them that petty
jealousies are indulged in in depart
ments of the Federal government and
that efforts have been made to oust a
rival, whatever the Vaccinations or the
conspiracies that have been formed, or
however contemplate and disgraceful
the means.
1t is everything to the American peo-
pie to feel that the administration of
national affairs is in the hands of men
who are too wise to be deceived by
the most palpable and childish plots
that have led the Attorney General to
recommend to President Taft that DR..
Wiley shall be permitted to resign"
and that other officials shall be as
ANONYMOUSLY disgraced.
If Attorney General Wickersham was
acquainted with the facts which have
been developed before the committee
since DR.. Wiley took the stand, he is
equally guilty with the band of petty
conspirators who, for Interior purposes,
have sought to get rid of DR.. Wiley and
have not hesitated to use the deadliest
of weapons in accomplishing their pur-
pose
If Attorney General Wickersham was
not cognizant of the condition that the
simple means taken by the Moss COM
mittee to find out have disclosed, he
is guilty of culpable negligence, has rem
dered snap Judgment, and has per-
formed the high duties of his Office in
the most perfunctory manner.
In either event, it does not appear
to the mass of the American people that
his services are of the sort that ara
needed in these times to administer the
affairs of so important an office, charged
as it now is with the performance of
duties upon which the future welfare
of the nation depends.
Secretary Wilson, by the occupancy
of one of the greatest educational in
stitutions this country possesses, not
even excepting the highest universities
in nrartIca1 N-ol,,a ,1o..f,,
identified with the economic life of the
nation His position, so far as known,
is worse, if anything, than that of the
Attorney General.
If the astounding revelations made by
DR.. Wiley are not true, it is incumbent
upon the administration at once to step
in, even before DR.. Wiley completes
the narrative of one of the most re-
voting disclosures that this country has
had to face since the days of the Credit |
Mobilier, and tell the people the truth. |
If this be possible, let it be done at |
once
If this be not possible, it is the very
plain duty of President Taft to indulge
in wholesale house-cleaning that will |
purge the administration, both in its
clerical and administrative branches, of |
those who by their dishonesty or in
capacity have shown themselves un-
worthy of place in the administration
of national affairs.
This step should be taken to preserve
the just pride of the people of great
nation, and is not to be regarded as a
political expedient at very exigent
moment
