The Lobby Investig alton.

The recent investigation OF the powerful lobby
which. has been working in Washington against
the tariff bill has brought TO light facts which
should cast everlasting disgrace on some sena-
tors For instance, the attorney for the sugar
trust prepared an elaborate argument in favor
of the tariff sugar. and got Senator Lodge.
Of Massachusetts, to read that document in
the senate a speech, and then II was or course
entitled to franking privileges which carried it
free through the mail. The peculiar thing is,
that after Lodge read the argument in the SEN
ate 1t was then corrected by the attorney for
the sugar trust, which Ia an unprecedented
thing for a senator to deliver what is supposed
to be a speech and then have the PROOF corrected
nv the attorney for a great trust. This shows
What a subservent tool Lodge is for the trust
This document then sent through the mail
at government expense. the postage OF which
II paid would have amounted to $4,000. Henry
Cabot Lodge ought to be thrown out OF the
ONCE in this manner and even old Isorimer, OF
Illinois who was kicked out Of the senate last
year was never known to oebase and disgrace
his senatorial Office In this manner.-Emporia

brushing away the distractions between the
registration OF their choice and its operation.
THE ESSENCE OF THE MATTER.

The Norfolk Virgsn.dn-Piiot gives the essence
OF the matter when II says, in effect that the
people OF the United States are little concerned
about the character OF Colonel Mulhall, now
testifying rs to his operations before the senate
lobby investigating committee What Mulhall
Is or is not Is of minor Importance in any
case and of none whatever Just now. The duty
OF the committee ia TO listen TO the evidence,
most OF It documentary. produced by him and
TO learn the truth.
This has been the position OF The Vtrofnian
from the start Those sensitive souls who can
not bear TO think OF Muhal without quivering
with righteous indignation to have no
censure to epart for those public servants who
betrayed their trust Whether the faithful
representatives be exposed by angel or devil
has no bearing on the question.

That Gettysburg Row.

Commenting on our recent depreciation OF the
stabbing ARRAY In hotel dining room at Gettys-
burg Pa. in which the names Of two sons OF
prominent Virginians were published far and
wide the Newport News Times Herald repub-
fishes an expression from the New YORK III,
bune, a newspaper which Is certainly not partial
to the South to Southerners and which puts
a different phase the matter. Instead OF the
two virginians being anywise responsible for
the ARRAY It appears that their part in 1t was
creditable and that sectional feeling did not
ngure In the affair. Our Newport News con-
temporary says in this connection:
1.-The New York Tribune, a Republican news
pa Der, gives a version OF the row that In en-
tirely different from that sent out In press dis
patches. The Tribunes correspondent says that
close to a Union veteran whom they designed to
rob They engaged him in conversation and
tried to pick a quarrel with him in order 20
pick his pocket gne veteran WAS disposca 20
them applied vile epithet TO Abraham Lin
coin. The veteran could not stand that and he
made pass at the thief.
Seeing their comrnxie In trouble other vet
erans Confederates and Union men, rushed to
his aid and the pickpockets drew their knives
and began slashing the veterans.
According to this account bya correspondent,
on the ground, 1t was not u fight among vet
erans but night OF the Blue and the Gray
against a common very common) foe. A Union
veteran provoked beyond endurance and
resented insult to the flag. The Gray and
the Blue rallied to his aid
I'm that view Of 1t, and we have no reason
to doubt the accuracy OF the Tribune's account
the incident serves to illustrate the spirit OF
fraternity among tho veterans at Getteysburg
and emphasize the fact that should foreign
nation insult the flag of the Union, there would
b no Bus and no 6, cray by" glorious blend
We are glad to have this statement of the
case and particularly pleased that the Virginians
are thus vindicated from any suspicion OF re-
sponsibility tor unfortunate and deplored
episode, the only one Of its kind that marked
the reunion.--Danviile Bee.

Democrats would be fools to adopt Senator

Currency legislation is needed by the country,

of a political crime for United States senator

Mr.. w. J. Bryan's opponents are serving him
we'll these days. supposing him to be lecturing
on percentage basis. 1t might be thought that
he needs no advertising. but the truth is no
man ever becomes so great or prominent that
advertising will not help him. and add to the
box Office receipts. Sometimes the public be-
comes slightly weary OF name and even the
most brilliant fame stales. In such cases revival
Of interest Is stimulated powerfully by a new
point OF view, or fresh issue and discussion.
The chautauqua press agents for millions Of
dollars could not have secured the publicity given
by Senator Brstow. in his sarcastic resolutions
in the senate on Mr.. Bryan's lecture tour, aided
by the Washington correspondents.
The discussion may be something of shock
to those citizens who have full confidence in
Mr. Bryan and have believed that our public Off
cials are paid extravagantly; and. incidentally.
II may stirfen the backbones of members Of con-
gross who have hesitated to increase the saa-
ries Of our ambassadors and ministers abroad
fearing that the present allowances might look
very big to the people at home.

Choice But No One Be

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-That the
Progressives at Charleston would
prefer a Democrat to Republican
for senator and that they are plan
ming to cast the Progressive vote for
John T. McGraw, in the event they
become convinced they cannot elect
Progressive. hoping that with
their votes and the votes of some
Democrats Col McGraw, may be
elected, is the information brought to
Washington by man who has been
in close touch with the Progressive
leaders in Charleston.
The story is that he is regarded as
a Democrat of the Progressive type
and they would rather have a pro,
gresslve Democrat in the Senate than
Q conservative Republican.
