CONFESSIONS OF THOMAS W. LAWSON.
Probably the most talked-of man today in America, is
Thomas W. Lawson, a financier, famous" in a dozen ways
outside of his gigantic dealing with dollars. His dramat
ic break with the Stardard Oil Company, and his telling
exposure of himself and his' millionaire confederates in
the pages of Everybody's Magazine, have brought him un
der the lime light of public gaze, and his relentless reve
lations are being read by thousands with indignant inter
est. Never has there been a more open detail of the se
cret methods of the money makers, or a more vivid pic
taring of the unblushing fraud which underlies modern
financial methods.
Mr. Lawson has a style of his own, clear, incisive, aph
oristic, forceful and harmonious as an anvil chorus. He
is absolutely fearless and libel suits have for him no ter
ror. He pins down the spiders of "Frenzied Finance" for
nnhlic insneotion. He nins hinisplf amrmcr thm thoncrh
hi wt, nin fa lw, nir.f -U H innrinn, H ! t, McKinley, Wolgamot, Emma Watson and Tarp-

Senator Mitchell when asked Friday said that the mat
ter of the chairmanship of the Isthmian canal committer
was practically settled and that he would be given the
chairmanship. The late Senator Hanna was formally the
chairman of that committee. Since his death Senator
Piatt, of New York, has been in the direct line of the
promotion to the chairmanship and in the ordinary run of
things would get the billet. Rut Senator Piatt has been
disinclined to give up his chairmanship of the committee
on printing. Besides this his health has not been robust
It was generally believed that the managing men of the
senate were not favorably disposed to letting the chair
manship of the interoceanic canal come to. the Pacific
coast. Owing to the amount of attention which he has
devoted to the subject of canals Senator Mitchell is gen
erally regarded as unusually well qualified for the position
of chairman of the interoceanic canal.

Politics.
There was a town of goodly size

Each neighbor lived as neighbors ehould
Nor feared a people's frown ;
A perfect brotherhood of men
And justice ruled the town.
Until it chanced a stranger came,
One most unlucky day.
She pitched her tent right in their midst
And vowed she'd come to stay.
A creature of uncertain years
And many evil tricks ;
She styled herself "the people's slave,"
Her name was Politics.
Then justice laid her scales aside,
And Friendship moved away;
Honesty gave up his job,
Because it didn't pay.
And Politics took up the reins
And drove things with a will ;
Right on through envy, hate and strife
And she is driving still. '
