Houston Post. CORRUPTION HAT coiTiiptiou iu government is not confined to America, but exists all over the world, particularly in England, is the subject of an article in the September American Magazine in "The Interpreters' House, M a de partment edited by Peter Jfiudlcy Dunne, who discourses as follows upon the subject: There is only one place where I would quarrel with the agitation, and that is the apparent concession that wo are worse than other countries in point of public and pri vate honor. The truth of the matter is that there is no more political corruption or business dishonesty here, than there is anywhere else. Anyone who has traveled with his eyes open knows this. I won't insult you by drawing a comparison botwecn this country and the countries of southern Europe. But let us size up with the country where we hear the greatest lamentation over the moral decay of America. What is the house of lords but corruption turned into an institution? If half as many men went into the United States son ate solely because they have paid money to the successful party as go into the house of lords for the same reason, we should have a revolution in this country. The plea is always made that efficiency is so rewarded, and the Eng lishman will always trot out Lord Lister or the late Lord Kelvin as an example. But for one Lister or Kelvin there is a score of brewers, railway jobbers, flash newspaper publishers or corporation lawyers. Lord Lister has about as much influence in the house of lords as Doctor Eliot has over the Pittsburg common council. Seats in the house of lords have always been bought and sold. The house of commons is not free from the same accusation. The kind of vigorous and able young man who can force his way into the house of representatives in this country would have small chance in England without the support of money. In the relations of the railways, the banks and great commercial enterprises with the govern ment, they take for granted as necessary things that we would resent and destroy by law. They permit the crea tion of a caste of skilled lobbyists and pay them above all members of the bar to procure legislation in what we call public services cases. They say their public officers don't take bribes. That may he so, but how are we to know, when it would be as much as a newspaper editor's liberty was worth to hint at bribery, even when he was sure it existed? Our newspapers fish with a long pole. They make the charges which echo around the world and then look for the facts which they are apt to find. But the first hint of the kind that began the insurance investigation, the Ballinger inquiiy, the Albany scandal, would result in an jEnglish editor being carried And that would be the end or it. Imagine a London paper making such accusations as it is the daily habit of most New York papers to make, not only against legislative bodies, but against individ uals! It is not conceivable. Every once in a while in England you run against out croppings of scandal like the Hooly exploitations, , the Whittaker Wright case, the smothered charges against army officers and the war office over the purchase. of hay and horses for the South African War. If you were an American newspaper detective, you would be sure that a great mine of the kind existed under the surface. But if you tried to dig you would he stopped. Our newspapers and magazines may do a great deal of harm, work much injustice and suffering by their.cn ergy, keep a good many sensitive men out of public life. But if you think it is a good thing to expose corruption rather than cover it up, and if it is wise to sacrifice indi viduals for the improvement of the nation, and if you are prepared to endure the inconvenience of spring house cleaning in the hope of enjoying a summer in sanitary sur roundings, then you ought to be glad that the press is as Pfree, even when it is cruel, RAILROAD WILL RAISE SOCIALISTS' BUGABOO CHICAGO, Aug. 30. Socialism, that bugaboo of frightful mein, will be raised by tho ra!lroad3 Ir. an at tempt to frighten tho Interstate com merce commission when that body begins its examination into tho pro posed freight rr.to increaces hero next week.

Shippers have advanced an esti mate that tho earnings of the rail ads of tho country in tho fiscal year ending June 30 last have Increased about $94,000 000 ovor the preceding year. While not denying that there has been a great increase, railroad men say that It has been eaten up by proportionate Increases In expenses.
