NO EVIDENCE OF GUILT

Was Notorious for Corrupt Prac-

Victory Assured Without the Taint-
ed Votes
Washington, Jan. 24.-In support of
the finding of the subcommittee of
the committees on privileges and elec-
tions that investigated the election of
Senator William Lorimer of Illinois,
Senator Robert J. Gamble of South
Dakota, of the subcommittee, ad-
dressed the senate.
Mr.. Gamble gave a summary of the
testimony before the subcommittee,
giving his view of its bearing as to
whether Mr.. Lorimer lawfully Is en-
titled to his seat in the senate.
In order to invalidate Mr.. Lorimer's
title to membership Mr.. Gamble held
that it would be necessary to prove:
THAT il his election he participated
in, had knowledge of, or sanctioned
one or more acts of bribery or attempt
ed bribery.
THAT by corrupt practices or
through bribery a sufficient number of
votes were actually voted for him to
change the result of the election"
Not even by the prosecution" in
the case, declared Mr. Gamble, was IL
claimed that Mr.. Lorimer participated
in any corrupt practices.
Legislature Was Corrupt.
The legislature of Illinois was held
up by the speaker as body in which
corruption has prevailed Money had
been distributed after adjournment,
but never had it been shown by any
evidence worthy of belief, in the opin-
ion of Senator Gamble, that such funds
had been used for the election of a
United States senator.

Lorimer is guiltless as regards these

Parable of the Tobacco Seed.

One of our town girls hands MS the
following with the request that we
publish it for the boys to read and
that reading it they may be made
wise hereby.
Then shall the kingdom of Satan
De likcned unto a gram of tobacco
seed, which, though exceedingly
small, being cast into the ground,
grew and became great plant, and
spread its leaves rank and broad, so
that vile worms formed hubitation
| thereon.
And It came to pass in the course
OF time that the sons OF men looked
upon it and thought it beautiful. To
make them look big and manly, the
lads put forth their hands and did
chew thereof; and some It made SEX,
and others to vCmit most filthy.
And 1T further came to pass that
they who cheWed it became weak and
unmanly, and said: 1--WE arc cnslaved
and can t cease chewing it. - And the
mouths of all, who were enslaved be
came foul, and they were seized with
"a violent splitting, and did spit even
in the ladies parlors aud in the house
of the Lord OF hosts, ard The stiuts
of the Most High were greatly plag.
ued thereby.
And in the course of time came
also to pass that offers snuffed it,
and the, were taken suddenly with
fits, ard they did sneeze with great
and mighty sneeZes, insomuch that
their eyes filled with tears, and they
did look exceedingly silly, And yet
Others cunningly wrought the leaves
thereof into rolls, and did set fire to
the end thereof, and did look very
grave and calf-lke sucking it, and
the smoke of their torment assembled
up forever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof be-
came a great and mighty business in
the earth, and the merchantmen
waXed rich by the commerce thereof.
And it came to pass that the saints
of the Most High dcliled themselves.
And even TIE poor, who could not
buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for
their little oncs, spent their money
for it, and the Lord was greatly dis
pleased herewith ard said, " here.
fore this waste; and why do these
little ones llci b e I'd an Shoes aud
books? Turn your attention to
change this wicked evil winch has
grown up in your midst in Il gospel
land. Turn now your fields into
corn and wheat. and dcti,e not your
selves ally more, and God will bless
you and cause the smile of his coun-
tenance to shine on you. But with
one accord they all exclaimed, 1--WE
can not G. asc from chewing and

to the evil plague"
