GROSS & MOODY "Hot Shot" At The Servants of The Trusts. Truths Well Told by William J. ' Bryan. In the November number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly appears an article entitled. "The National Lobby at Washington, " and written by the editors. Tins article should be read by every American citizen. Although to many it may seem that the authors of this article have made startling revela tions, with all the seriousness of the situation as they have described it,' the half has not been tol ). In the beginning, the authors if "The National Lobby at Washington, "explain that there exists "a profound impression that something is wrong with the basic principles of our government as it has been administered for a decade." This impression, the authors attribute to "the robbery of the treasury through bribery, blackmail and petty larceny in the post office department; the illegal absorption of public lands with the suspected con nivance of officials now removed and of members of coneiess still in office; the defalcations of the department oi justice and in tbe office of the commissioners of the District of Columbia; the interest of congressmen and senators in glove and tombstone contracts," It is pointed out that as a matter of fact, the congress of the United States is its own lobby; that in nine cases out ol ten the lobbyistsits in the senate with his state behind him or in the house of representatives with his district and his senator behind him ; that in nine caees tut of ten the senatorial or representa tive lobbyist acts and speaks for some great corporation which is seeking some vast special privilege which is antag onistic to public interests and to which it has no moral right. In the opinion of these authors the great curse of na tional legislation is tiie campaign con tribution. Upon the campaign contri bution is placed tbe responsibility for the growth of the new system whereby contiress is its own lobby. It is poiLted out that in presidemal i r congressional elections the great corporations pick the candidates and the party to whom they contribute enormous sums to carry the election. "Frequently," say tbe authors, "a defkite bargain is made with tbe nation, al committee that something shall be done or another one not done. It is a cold matter ot business. Commericial Acumen, which has built up vast fortunes in a veneration or two like those of the Standard Oil crowd or of ;Carnegie's coterie of young men, can usually -pick-a winner or make a winner in a national campaign. Itdidsoin 1888, when it turned its back on Cleveland and con tributed to tbe Harrison fund for M. 8.' Quay to spend Again it did so in 1892, -vhen it switched from Harrison back to Cleveland andjsaved the millions to Wm. C. Whitney and Don M. Dickinson with which they swept the country. It could not choose in 1896 and in 1900 because William J. Uryan was running for presi dent on a platform which made the cor porations quake to a king's ransom at the feet of Marcus A. Hanna at the be best of such men as Cornelius N. Bliss, Senator Aldrich, Senator Allison, and Senator Quay," And it is explained by the authors that "the great Interests which contributed in tlvse foar cam paigns got what they paid for." An interesting featu e of "The Nation al Lobby at Washington," relates to the part played by a number of- conspicious senatortf. Sen -tor Nelson W. Aldrich of succviighIS & ?hMsDU Rhode Island is credited with being tbe most important man in the senate. It is said that Senator Aldrich represents more great interests than any other man in congress, being the representative of the Rockefellers, theMorga is, the James J Hills, the E. H. Harrimans, the W. K. Vanderbilts, the Schwabs, the (Jarnegies, the Armours, the Swifts, and the Cramps. It is admitted that the liat of interests that Senator Aldrich Berves with his voice and his influence is too long to print in an article of limit ed scope. It ia however, pointed out that Senator Aldrich represents the Standard Oil company. It is explained that the term "Standard Oil company" as here used describes all the enterprises in which John D. Rockefeller has united the greatest aggregation of capital in the world. It is shown that in the propos. ed currency legislation Senator Aldiich represent the Standard Oil group, and tbe J. Pierpont Morgan group, and that as the servant of these interests when congress meets he will be found pressing a bill to permit the temporary inflation of the currency so it may meet the de mand which may be made upon it every time the speculators in Wall street ex pand prices. Mr. Aldrich is farther referred to as the servant of tbe sugar trust, of the steel trust, of the beef trust and of the anthracite coal trust. Next to Senator Aldrich in point of influence as the friend of great combinations of capital is Sena tor Hanna, according to the authors of "The National Lobby at Washington." It is said that in the capacity of chair man of the republican national com mittee Mr. Hanna "collected in 1895 for tbe election of McKinley tbe largest cam paign fund ever spent in the United States. Again in 1900, be collected an enormous sum. This monej came most ly from the trustB, the great financial in stitutions and pro' . cted manufacturers. With these contributions came responsi bilities for Senator Hanna. Not one of the men who gave their mouey gave it solely to ensure their property against the laws which they feared if Bryan wt-re elected. Tbey all demanded some thing more. First of all, they wanted a high protective tariff anU this they got i 1 the D;ngley bill. Rockefeller, Morgan, Hill, Harriman, all wanted to be let alone and peimitted to go on with their trust building. GriBCora wanted a chip subsidy. The idea which capital de tested above all things was that which looked to the broadening of tbe Sherman anti trust law. Senator Hanna took emphatic ground that there should be no more anti-trust legislation. In this position he had the hearty ' support of the old guard in the senate, consisting of Aldrich, Spoonerof Wisconsin, Quay of Pennsylvania, Allison of Iowa, Eikins of West ' Virginia, Foaker of Ohio, and Fairbanks of Indiana. All of these meu can be classed as defenders of trusts and when they unite, they can dominate the senate." Accompanying this interesting article are several pictures of senators and above each picture is a brief and interesting description of the man. For Instance, over Senator Aldrich's picture tnat gentleman is described as "the most potent influence in the senate and the prime mover in legislation favorable to corporations." - Senator Quay is described as "leader in the fight against restricted immigra tion on behalf of the foreign steamship lines' Senator Eikins is introduced as the gentleman "who promoted the agree ment between the sugar tru-t and Sena tor Gorman who later became leader of the beet sugar lobby," Senator Millard is referred to as "the strong f riend of the beet suger trust and also a mainstay of the Union Pacific railroad." , Senator Dietrich is called "one of the foremost upholders of beet sugar and protector of the present usurpation of public lands." Congressman Babcock is referred to as ' "tbe spokesman for the brewing inter ests." Of Congressman Wadaworth, it is said : "Sen , to congress from an agricul tural district, but the chief representa tive of the oleomargarine industry." Senator Burrows is referred to as "one of the leaders of the best beet sugar lobby and violently opposed to reciproc ity with Cuba.". It is explained that "most of tbi sena tors who and engaged in shielding the ti usts and corporations that have so long do nated congress were above the sus picion that they do it fur pay; tnat most of them are millionaires in their own right; that while they are actually the servants ot the trusts,tney are parti of the trusts." - , . There are many people to whom the statements ol the authors of "The Na tional Lobby at Washington," are not revelation! and yet it may not be doubt ed that there are thousands of other, particularly among the rank and file of the republican Dartv.who reallv imagine that the Aldricbes, the Hannas and the Burrows are statesmen Who are greatly concerned for the public walfare. To those who have been really ignorant on the subject, the article in Leslie'! Monthly will provide lood lor serious tnougnt. , Can the American people expect'hon. est representation at the lands of their public omciala when the traits are per mitted to choose those omciaiir Ii it not humiliating to tbe American citizen when he ia told that the men who are presumed to represent public in' teres ts are, in fact, the representative! 01 special interests 7 Best Liniment on Earth.

The elections held in many cities and states on last Tuesday gave hope and en couragement to the Democracy every where. The returns were full of political signi ficence to the student of politics. The 'ollowing is a brief summary of the re sult in var.ous states. KENTUCKY. For the first time in ten years Kentuc ky nas given an old time ' Democratic minority of twenty thouand and more. Kentucky has been very close political ly since 1895 when William O'Bradly was e ected the first Republican govern or, that state ever had. McKinley car ried the state in 1896 and only lost it by a few thousand in 1900. 80 it would feem that Kentucky is once more out of the list of doubtful state and is as reliab ly Democratic as any state in tbe union. NKW YORK. The great city of New York with its 700 000 'votes has elected a Democratic may or by a plurality of 63,000, turning out a nonpartisan administration that was largely Republican. Tbe importance of the election in New York on Nation al politics next year is very great. The state itself can doubtless be carried next year for the Democratic ticket with as surances that the city will give over one hundred thousand majority for the ticket put up by that party. The Demo cracts also elected a Judge of the supreme court in New 'York state but he had no ,-nposition. The canal proposition which proposes to expend $100,000,000 in im proving ana deepening the Erie Canal was carried by more than 150.000 votes. This ia the biggest undertaken eveiy Degun in the Ur lteu states in tbe matter of public improvements. It is second in magnitude and importance only to the Panama canal. MARYLAND. Maryland ' has been a Republican state ia recent years and the city of Baltimore lias been giving a very lu.'ge Republican majority. It is all chanted this year however and Baltimore throws a Democratic majority of 6,0j0 and tbo the state of Maryland goes the same ay over 20,000. Gorman the brilliant Demo cratic senator from that Btate Is in thi saddle and this election puts him at tho head of tbe procession. OHIO. The state of Ohio has gone Republi can by a'i increased Republican majority Ine muority now is estimated at 125, 000 voters. Tom Johnson has been ? radically eliminated from politics, he Democrats in Ohio did not vote and tbe Republicans did and that tells the story. REALTY TRANSFERS.

William Smith, an escaped prisoner from the Multnomah county jail, stole a boat from two men named Hosey and Baxter near the mouth of the Clackamas Tuesday afternoon. Hosey and Baxter attempted to recapture their boat and were fired on by Smith, his shot going wild. Chief of Police, Burns, was noti fied, and went to arrest Smith. Smith attempted to shoot the officer, but Burns got the drop on him and landed him In jail. Later Smith picked the lock of his cell, sto'e a revolver and made a break for liberty Policeman Shaw saw him and recaptured the desperate man. Smith said if be had been given 20 minutes more he would have gotten away. Smith's trial came up before Judge McBride Wednesday. On the advice of his attorneys he was sentenced to two years in the State penitentiary, and Wednesday evening he was taken 'o the penitentiary at Salem to begin bis sentence. The conviction of Smith for a crime committed on the day previ ous to his trial and his sentence of two years makes a remarkable record for speed in trials of criminal cases. In less than 36 hours after tbe offense was com mitted be was behind the bars of the penitentiary serving out his sentence. Smith's people live in Portland. Thursday morning his mother called up Chief of Police Burns, a d inquired when the trial of her eon would beem. When informed that it had already taken place and that the young man was already in the peniteutiary serving out his sentence, she was overcome with grief. Smith was serving a 93 days' in the Multnomah cornty j-a.il for a misdemean or. He had already served two-thirds oi this time when he escaped. tt'K School Report.
