Editorial Comment
Mr.. Bryan's Apology.
(New York Tribune.)

In his capacity of editor of the
Commoner" Mr. Bryan has come 10
the rescue of Attorney General NC
REYNOLDS, Secretary of Labor wilson
and Commissioner General OF I'M
migration Caminetti, all sorely need
ing an apologist for their attempted
interference with the course or JUS
tiee in the California white slave
cases. One of Mr.. Bryan's cnafac-
teristics as politician is his extreme
LOYALTY to his friends and IN TINS m
stance he is so eager to apply the
whitewash brush to Messrs. wilson
and Caminetti, and because of them
TO Mr.. McReynolds, that he aWk-
wardly upsets the whole whiteWash
bucket.
The gravamen of the charge
against the three officials is that they
did not recognize the gross I'M
propriety of Seeking to obstruct the
| administration of justice as matter
of personal accommodation to fed
eral official who happened to be the
father of one of the defendants. That
official is especially charged with the
| execution of the white slave law
| so lar as 1t Co1tcIHo ui'NHt
at orr ports. Nobody could possibly
have been in worse position than
he to ask a favoreof the sort which
he asked through Mr.. Wilson, and
which Mr.. McReynolds granted.
Mr.. Bryan exhibits as much child
| like innocence as Secretary wilson
did when he says.
| If such continuance had beer
asked in an ordinary case under the
same circumstances 1t would have
been granted without question by any
| Attorney General. The fact that the
father of one of the defendants is q
public official ought not to alter the
case.
The fact that the father of one ol
the defendants was a public ofiicia
Il and that the postponement was or
dered as a personal convenience t.
him not only alters the case" Blu
gives 1t it's aggravated character AZ
an obstruction of justice to serve
purely private ends. II such a thint
had been done under an administra
ton of another faith Mr. Bryan wouls
undoubtedly have been among tn
first to denounce 1t as seandalou'
misuse of authority.
The Secretary of State also say
that Secretary Wilson made the re
quest for the postponement to MI
MeReynolds ION his owne initiative
and without solicitation from MI
Caminetti' That statement doe
not harmonize very well with III
record furnished by Mr.. McNah
which shows that Mr. Caminetti hat
previously appealed to the Distric
Attorneys Office in California to della!
the case. Mr., Caminetti. the Score

and refused to sell because they thought
potatoes would reach the 500 mark.
Had they reached $500 II is probable that
these men would have still hung on for

LONDON. Jan. l6.--.After d long sterl,

house of com,pons tonight by major!..,
Of 10. Later II was read for the first
time in the house of lords.
There were two divisions in the lower
house. The Ealfour motion for its re
lection was defeated, 25S to 1858, while
the third reading was carried by a vote
OF 367 to 257, one member Of each side
having left the house in the interval.
The result Of the division was too
much of a foregone conclusion for the
tremendous demonstration, but the Irish
men inside and outside the house did
their best and gave the measure SEM
off on its way to the house of lords,
where its fate certainly issued.
Another series Of brilliant speeches By
political leaders was heard.
The house was crowded throughout the
day.

IN THE SENATE.

Convened at 2 o'clock.
Eleven new measures were read
and referred to committees.
Talcott's hill will require state de-
partments to pay all fees into state

Senate by reconsideration voted to
be supplied with postage stamps WIKI
out the amount being stipulated.
General debate followed Plains
motion to reconsider postage stamp
resolution.
Extra employees authorized by reso-
luton, which may be reconsidered.
When Senator Plain offered mo-
ton Thursday afternoon to reconsld-
err the house joint resolution In which
the senate on Wednesday had refused
to concur, in the matter OF furnish
ing postage stamps to the members or
both branches, those senators who
enjoy exercising their powers IN de-
bate had a splendid opportunity.
The resolution had been sent back
to the house by the senate, but on
.nr. Plains motion 1t was recalled.
Without announcing its return the
house quietly sent it back to the SEN
ate desk. Mr.. Plains motion to re-
consider was before the senator's and
so was the postage stamp resolution.
but for a few moments the president
and the secretary seemed to he in a.
qnandary as to whether the motion
should be voted by acclamation or
roll call. but it was finally decided
to call the roll, and Mr.. Plains mo-
ton to reconsider carried, with only
two dissenting votes.
The next perplexing question. this
time existing with the senators them
selves, was whether or not they
should vote on the adoption Of the
resolution as it originally came from
the house, containing the unrestricted
provision for stamps being issued, or
whether or not the vote should be
taken on the resolution as the senate
had amended it by striking out any
reference to postage stamps At this
point Senator Bronson moved the
previous question, which was not sec
onded Senator Hanley then stated
to the senators just what the parlia-
mentary situation was and contend
ed that the motion to reconsider hav-
ing carried, put the resolution on the
