This letter according to the position taken
by Foraker when Mr.. Hearst first made it
public, merely proved that in January, 1899,
Senator Foraker was working for the Oil
Trust.
That was so employed and presumably
compensated for my services was common
knowledge at the time, said Foraker; at
least, never made any effort to conceal the
fact On the contrary, was pleased to have
people know that had such clients
AS matter of fact on the 9Th of March,
1899, less than two months after Foraker's
receipt of instructions from Archbold to
watch carefully" and leave nothing I'M
DONE the following dispatch sent out by
the Associated Press had been published in
the New York newspapers:
Cincinnati, o.. March 8.-A report
reached here from Columbus today
that Senator Foraker had been re-
tanned by the Standard Oil Co. as one
Of the counsel for the trust.
Senator Foraker showed much irri-
tafien tonight when asked if the re-
port was true.
g It is impertinent," he declared.
You might as well ask me how much
money I have in my pocket The re
port is not true
There we see Just how pleased" Foraker
had been to have people know that he had
such clients
From his desk at No 26 Broadway New
York, Archbold continued to pull the wires
to write the letters and to send out the GER
tificates of deposit with which legislatures
were controlled, Congressman were elected
Senators were chosen, and judges were ap-
pointed AS the Standard Oil Company was
Democratic in the South, and Republican in
Pennsylvania so, in Ohio, it was strictly nom

Dear Senator:
The matters regarding which |
wanted to talk with you this after
noon are those of threatened and very
Objectionable legislation at Columbus.
The first is bill introduced by Mr.
Russell, OF Melgs, amending the So
called antitrust" law in way that
would be most Objectionable to every
corporate interest in the state Prob
ably you are familiar with this bill.
The second is a most malicious
resolution for an investigation com
mittee to be headed by Griffin, of
Lucas, giving them power to investi-
gate pretty much everything within
the state. from the supreme court
down The resolution does not limit
the expense of the investigation, and
authorizes the employment of coun-

My Dear Senator:
Attorney General Sheets has written
letter to Mr.. Kline, in which he asks
to have time fixed for the oral argu-
ment of the contempt case. If this ar
g gument is to be simply a formal mat
ter, we have no objection to it; other
wise, it might be well to have 1t post
poned as long as possible especially
until after the next national and state
conventions.
We thought you should know about
this before going to Ohio.

March 8, 1900
My Dear Senator:
beg to enclose you herewith letter
from our counsel, Mr.. Elliott, with
copy of another very Objectionable
bill recently introduced at Columbus.
There will undoubtedly be uniform
sentiment against it in the oil section.
Hope you can take care of it with the
others Very trulylyours,

The very next day he received another let
ter from Archbold as follows:
March g. 1900
MY Dear Senator:
have your favor of last night with
enclosure, which letter, with letter
from Mr. Elliott commenting on
same, beg to send you herewith.
Perhaps it would be better to make
demonstration against the whole bill,
but certainly, the ninth clause, to
which Mr. Elliott refers, should be
stricken out, and the same Is true OF
House Bill No. 500, also introduced
by Mr.. Price, in relation to foreign
corporations, in which the same OBJ
jectionable clause occurs

THE RHODES PUPILS.

1t will probably be wise not to take
too much to heart the reported criti-
cisms Of Dr. Parkin, Of Oxford, upon
the American students who have gone
to that university on the Rhodes foun-
dalton. DR.. Parkin is the executive
secretary of the Rhodes Scholarship
Trust, and as such is naturally and
commercially solicitous. for it's honor
and its most beneficial administration.
That on his visit to this country and
in an address to the National Associa-
ton of State Universities he should
frankly express his estimate Of the nu-
merous pupils who are now enjoying
the benefits Of that trust is fitting and
should be advantageous to all con-
cerned.
Briefly stated, DR.. Parkin regards
one-third Of the students as belonging
TO high grade, and a second third as
fair, while to the remaining third he
would apply the observation Of Pope on
flies in amber, wondering how they ever
got there. That is not flattering TO
American students as a whole. but
then fiattery is not what is desired, but
rather faithful statement of the facts,
or Of what the Oxford authorities con-
ceive to be the facts. We know that
a considerable proportion of the Rhodes
students from this country are Of high
grade Their record in their own coun-
try indicated 1t and their record at Ok
ford has abundantly confirmed it. Prob
ably nobody here ever expected that
they would all turn out Admirable
Crichtons, or will be much surprised
to know that a certain number of them
do not impress English university men
as particularly creditable 10 American
scholarship.
1t must be borne in mind, however.
that the criticisms of these students
are made according to English stand
ards, which are not necessarily iden,
teal with or superior to ours. There
are young men whose merits are so
high as to be apparent to all. There
are others who may be hardly less
meritorlous, yet who, because of Pc
culiarities Of temperament or certain
idiosyncrasies, may not In their youth
so well appeal to strangers, and this is
especially likely to be the case when,
as In this instance, men are not judged

THE MOUSE MAN
The Cat Logical Successor Is Pict-
uresque, Wry Necked Individual.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: II the professor in the University
OF Kansas succeeds in protecting birds at
the cost OF the family cat. who is to pro-
tect the family against rats and mice?
The logical answer to the above conun-
drum is: "The Mouse Man" He Is a
picturesque. wry necked Individual OF
downcast mien and furtive air. The latter
is possibly caused by his calling, but then,
again, there may be a boil pressing hard
against his scrupulously clean but sadly
frayed collar. This Mouse Man arrives
betimes with a valise filled with traps OF
the boomerang variety, and sets them 30
skilfully that not once is he caught In
the professor elsewhere. After this pre-
liminary visit, he calls every morning to
inspect the traps and carry Off the
rodents II nothing is caught In a weeks
time, he concludes his reputation has
scared away the little torments and
gathers up his traps and disappears, not
to call again until sent for What he
does with tho mice nobody knows But
he wears such mysterious air OF tragic
history fancy he may be the proprietor
OF "velly fine lestlant" somewhere In
Chinatown. FRED CAMERON.

CAUGHT MAPPING MORALLY.

For a party Of morality the Progress
sive party misses a good many moral
tricks 1t missed one, big one, when
it tried in some states to steal the Re
publican party's name and place on the
ballot. The results in states where this
was tried show the consequence. 1t
missed another when ii set out TO de-
clare that 1t would have no part in any
fusion to deliver this city from Tam
many Hall. It's failure to pass the res
olution it intended to pass against
fusion indicates that there came to it
a dim sense that 1t was headed straight
against the current view of good polit-
iCal morals. But when it saw it was
going wrong ii did not turn back. On
a moral issue the new party OF moral
ideals halted and shuffled. No one
knows whittier it Is bound. It's leaders
would like, if they dared, TO sacrifice
the interests Of the city to what they
conceive TO be the interests Of their
party in quite the way of the most I'M
regenerate old boss led party. In
word, the new party is caught behav
ing just like the worst Of the old parties
which have made municipal government
a byword by injecting their meaning
less national partisanship into city
campaigns. 1t is thus caught and
stands shamefaced, as a morally supe-
riOr party should, but it has not aban-
doned its attitude.
Controller Prendergast has the acut-
est political conscience in the whole
new party, though it may have been
sharpened by the fact that he holds Of
flee as result Of a fusion and by the
further fact that he did not get a NOM
ination for the governorship. But,
however sharpened, the Progressiyes
should try the edge Of the Controllers
moral sense on every party policy az
fecting the municipality before adopt
ing It. Failure to do so In this case
has cost them support For what shall
it profit the public to have a new party
If its attitude in municipal campaigns
is to be no more enlightened than that
Of Tammany itself?

MAKING STREETS DIRTY.

Mayor Gaynor's comments on Uttered
streets and the persons responsible for
them may be somewhat testy, but they
are distinctly to the point. They are
applicable, moreover, to a much wider
circle than the storekeepers, whom he
condemns for sweeping their rubbish
into the streets. and the patrOlmen,
whom he holds responsible for permit
ting 1t. The persons who toss their
newspapers into the gutter when they
are through with them might object TO
the Mayors characterization OF them
as "barbarians." Yet they are assured
ly thOughtless and contribute unneces-
sarily to the work OF the Street Clean
ing Department and to the litter in the
streets.
HousehOlders and storekeepers who
habitually sweep papers, discarded
boxes and other rubbish into the gutter
in the calm assurance that the city will
eventually relieve them of further care
of the stuff are a nuisance, in the COM
mon and the legal meaning Of that
word, and proper subjects for police
activity. Even though they be bar
barians," a few trips to court and the
payment Of a few fines might soon
teach them that there Is no warrant for
nasty" habits of that kind 1t is for
the patrolmen and their superiors to
teach that lesson. Meantime perhaps
another cleanup day" would help
along the educational process, especial
ly If It were superintendent by the po-
lice with compulsory methods rather
than by volunteer agencies with moral
suasiOn.
