No greater political crime has ever been committed by the house of repre- sentatlves than the unseating of James J.Butler,congressman from the Twelfth district ot' Missouri. It was partisan ship run mad without the usual but lame excuse of political expeiiieney. It is the more extraordinary when ttie facts are considered.

Senator Lodge has flatly refused to open an investigation. He has bluntly told those who were demanding it that no further light was to be shed upon a situation which seems to be a disgrace to civilization. Every Democratic mem ber of the Philippines committee ex pressed the utmost anxiety to under take the inquiry so earnestly desired by the men of light and leading whose names were signed to the petitions. But Lodge and his Republican con freres turned a deaf ear. They de clined to reopen the case. They sneer ed openly at the men of heart and con science who demanded that if cruelty and Injustice are prevailing in the Phil ippines the fact shall lie laid bare be fore the American people. And so the Fifty-seventh congress dies with this indelible blot upon its record. In view of the above facts from the Johnstown Democrat, the Public of Chicago says: "Senator Lodge's Philippine commit tee has a justly earned reputation as a graveyard for all the disagreeable facts regarding American cruelties in the Philippines that And their way out of Manila. To seek information about these cruelties is to have it referred to Mr. Lodge's convenient committee, and to have it referred to that committee is to see it buried.” BRIEF MENTION.

Everybody will in future be qualified to vote at school elections, or join the taxpayers’ league, and there will be no such thing as a man being excused from jury duty because lie is not a taxpayer. Lt will not be possible to make a charge against a man running for public office that his name does not appear 'in the tax roll.
