THAT Indiana contractor who tried to
bribe the governor ul Mississippi to award
him the job ol building the new state
hosur, must have been accustomed to do
ing business with the ordinary mob of
0II11I.1I gratters. Hut he struck a proper
Mia,; down in the sunny Southland, where
thrill is not as obtrusively prevalent as in
koine other sections.
ONI: ol those pullsan organs that
stands pat on eveiy party policy and its
result, attempting to justify, extenuate or
deny, is The Dalles Chioulde. A lew
days after McKlnley '- election, press dls- '
patches announced that the salt trust had
doubled tile ptice ol its product. I Ills
statement the Chronicle denies point ,
blank and lor prool ol Its couteutlou J
pintes the prke ol salt at I he Dalles; e- (
ultantlyeu.piiring.il the wired report be
true, then why had not loc.il nieic bants
raised their pike. Several pertinent
unswets could be given to tills tpirrv, but
the hrst one suggested Is peilups the
truest ami simpies-; nameiv.u.ai u.ev n.iu ,)lP ,jjvUmisy ;,r claim that Tom Mc

' tile lines, that would kill his private busl
HI:KI:ls.uiold iuotih ptoverb to the , rs More than this, that he had sue
effect that "when a man boasts ol his irrdrd hid ,,- ,, ,-,,,, of way for ,ne
honesty or a woman of her virtue, you j p,,r,,osri
fliould keep vonr pockets buttoned," C 'ym rri., ., .,,, Im)re tralis.
which has a pecullarlv appropriate local ,,.,., )U.lp ,lf aooKcd wor.
application. When the organ ol the '
Sumpter Ito.xeis ecla!ins: "It's so it you
see It in the Auieilc.iu, look out Iota
false statement Mimew heie in its columns.
Last week It resumed the repetition ol
tills refrain, which naturally excited the
suspicion ol the observant leader. It is ,
the well known system ot that paper to,
nolsllv boast ol its houestv whenever it Is ,
engaged In promoting some especially
ditty and dishonest piece of business. Its
work Is always coarse, however, and so
It resulted no second sight gilt to discover
Its purpose in this particular case. The
Mory published, to the elfect that loin '
Mcl-wenhad sold a right of way lor an
electric line to Hourne, lurnished the key
to the situation.
Ili.it tight of wav has not been sold.
Arthur I'hilbilck, one of the owners,
stated to a MINIK representative Sunday,
four days after the sale is alleged to have
been made, that lie knew nothing ol the
transaction, and he certainly would have
known had auydeil been consummated.
Monday, alter having talked with Mr.
Mcliwen, he said there was iiotlilns to
tell, but refused to discuss the matter
further.
And now, the motives for these false
statements. It Is n plain tale, with no far
fetched conclusions necesary to arrive at
a satisfactory explanation, l-'nr months
past certain enterprising gentlemen have
Itch working on the proposition to con
struct a system ot electric railways to the
neighboring camps. The enterprise is
not yet assured, but it is progressing.
'I he American has "whooped it up" for
this proposition in a general way, when
no good could be accomplished, but has
never failed to throw an obstacle In its
way when opportunity offered. To be
specific, when franchises through the
streets of Sumpter have been ashed for, it
li.is urged that such franchises should be
sold. No one now doubts that the Amer-
lean's mission I' to "bear" this proposl
,oi ,nelllK Sumpter and the district,
WJ b(l, or ,. piirpose .inJ has
heen run rm that line for more than a year.

I tiou the American cntwd started In to
I make up a ticket lor the coming municipal
I election. Tom Mcliwen was about the
I lourth man urged to run for mayor. He
would have declined had not other in
' tlueuces pulled in the same direction.
J About a month since, J.imes Newl.iuds,
secretary of the Sumpter Transportation
company, solicited the support of Till:
' MINI l lor Mr. Mcliwen in his candidacy
'lor mayor, stating that he feared Mr.
Uobbius would favor the granting of Iran
I I hises lor railways through the streets of
I Sumpter. Krlieving that tills tear on the
part ol Mr. New lauds was well founded,
I is why this paper supports Mr. Robbins
for mayor.
