LAILS YAWN FOR TWO.

More unspeakable even than Mulhall Is this
David Lamar, or David Lewis, or whatever he
may wish to be called 1.-THE wolf Of Wall
Street" they have named him and appropriately
so. Mulhall appears to have proofs to back
his charges and whatever may be his motives
his testimony promises to accomplish some
good purpose. Lamar on the other hand admits
he has lied and slandered even while testifying
and brings no proof that he Is not lying and
Islandering now. Moreover he seems to take
delight in his vi1lainy, while Mulha1l at least
pretends to be making his disclosures for good
purposes He, at least. does not boast OF his
Iwolhshness.
The discussions rs to which of the two Is the
worst is a prohtless one however. Each is bad
enough and each deserves punishment The
work in hand now is to wean the truth from
the falsehood. These men have turned States
evidence and so far as their testimony is fully
substantiated it should be accepted without re
gard to the character of the witnesses.
However, no immunity has been promised
either If either has been guilty of fndictable
offenses they should be sent to prison TO keep
company with some of their tools and co-workers
on whom they have "squealed."

These are the three Democratic senators who

So It seems that the last hope of the pro-

the most pessimfstic figuring on the part of the
Democrats leave them safe by a narrow mar

As a matter of fact, however, there Is lit

will have the first tariff law In years framed

stead of in the interest of few. Whatever
may be the mistakes OF the bill and whatever
may be the results flowing from IT, that fact is
lindisputable No one can charge that the Demo-

selves TO do. The rest is with the future.

by the federal government through
the passage of the Sherwood pension
bill and numerous other bills which
have served to adequately provide for

With view to correcting this In
equality two bills have been intro-s
duced in the house to provide PEN
sions by the federal government for
the Confederate veterans or their
widows. Y
Representative Edwards, ~
Georgia, introduced a bill granting
pensions to Confederate veterans ana
their widows at the rate OF $50 q

visions to the Sherwood dollar "a W

storm OF protest. but was finally pass
