There was a hearing at Albany last week. It was 011 a bill which seeks merely to compel great corporations to pay their fair share of taxes in return for thp privilege of using the streets that belong to the people for tho purpose of making money in enormous amounts for themselves. It was a contest of popular right against grab-all grued. Grab-all greed was represented by tho ablest lawyers of our time, as it always is in such cases. They had been hired for money to oppose the right and advo- 1 eate tho wrong, to quibble, to equivo cate, to split hairs, to exercise all their ingenuity and prostitute their great < learning to tho service of wrong. And all this is hit an illustration. It j was in the fulfillment of what is called ) tho "ethics of tlie legal profession." The ethics authorizes tho lawyer to espouse any cause, however wrong it may be and to oppose any cause, bow- * ever right it may be, if only he is paid 1 his fees. Worse still, it binds him to 1 earn his fees by promoting bis client's ! interest to the best of his ability, and at ( any sacrifice of truth and justice and the public welfare. There is no such "ethics" in any other j profession. The doctor is sworn to 1 countenance no mal-practicc, and is liable to be sent to state prison if be does. And what would be thought of the newspaper that should hold itself ready to advocate or oppose any public policy or private scheme accordingly as it was hired and paid to do tho one tiling or the other? To the lawyers only is it permitted to hire himself to the advocacy of whatever cause he may bo employed to plead. Upon him only does professional "ethics" lay the obligation of serving his em ployer in utter disregard of right, justice and public morality. Is there no remedy? Is there no body of lawyers strong enough to reform the immeasurcably immoral "othics" of a profession which lias more to do than any other with the making and the enforcement of law? Another Remedy Mum Be Sought. Notwithstanding the loud protesta tions of good faith with which plans were drawn up to build an independent railroad from the coal regions to tide -1 water, it now seems certain that the project bus no hopes of being carried 1 out, the projectors having succeeded in I compelling the anthracite trust to buy - out their coal interests at a good profit and have withdrawn like traitors from the battle against monopolistic discrimi r nation. Much was promised by the individual - operators of tho Lackawanna region, who originated the scheme for the in dependent line, and their apparent good 1 intentions led tho people of the entire £ coal fields to believe that they were ' 3 sincere in the matter. However, the "sell-out" of their coal g lands to the Morgan syndicate blasts j a the hopes of individual operators and workingmen in the mining regions and further tightens the grip of the present j coal-carrying railroads upon the prod- I nets of this section of the state. This betrayal of tho general public's | interests by tho Lackawanna men will | make the fight against the anthracite \ trust much more bitter hereafter, as the ' monopolists have shown they will brook no interference with their criminal j manner of regulating the output.of coal. ! Such unscrupulous men must he I fought with their own weapons. Let' I the business interests and tho hundred | thousand toilers of the coal region seek some other way to induce them to obey " tho laws. . One step won't take you very far— you've got to keep on walking; one - word won't tell folks what you are— you've got to keep on talking; one inch won't make you very tall—you've got to keep on growing; one little "ad" won't do it all— you've got to keep 'em going. ® A committee to investigate Quay's bribery methods has been natnod by Speaker Fair. If Quay had selected e the members he would likely have nam ed tho same men. BHRHHMD. Sums of Money as High as SI,OOO Offered For Votes, It Is Said. THE M'OARRELL BILL ONOE MORE The House Orders nn Investigation. 1 Honest Democrats Who stood Finn Against Corruption—Representative Dixon Speaks- % (Special Correspondence.) Ilarrishurif, Feb. 27.—Charges of the Attempted bribery of ineiiibers of the legislature have been plentiful around the capital for weeks. They reached a head last Friday wlieu a Philadelphia Republican newspaper openly charged that efforts had been made to get mem bers of the house, for cash considera- J tions, to vote for a reconsideration of the 1 postponement of the McCarrell jury bill. The charges made were that certain ' members had been offered sums of money j from $250 to SI,OOO to vote for the re- 1 consideration of the vote whereby the I McCarrell jury bill had been postponed until Mureh 21. after the Quay trial. The newspaper in question, the Phila delphia Press, publishes the statements without giving names, but in an editorial declared its willingness to furnish names to a legislative investigating committee, in at least two of the cases the attempts at bribery were made upon reputable and influential members of the Democratic party, but in both instances the offers were indignantly spurned. It has been already stated in these letters that a numerous and powerful Quay lobby was at work here in Ilarrisburg. endeavoring to bribe Democrats to vote for Quay legislation. These charges of attempted bribery, apparently, substantiate these claims. DEMOCRATS REFUSE BRIBES. It is to the honor of the Democratic party and a high tribute to the character of its members that these attempts have been spurned and that the wophl-be bribers are about to be brought to jus- ( tice. In speaking of the charges Repre- , sentative George R. Dixon, one of the > scholarly and brainy leaders of the De mocracy in tin* house, said: "There is no doubt that attempts at bribery have been made. Valuable con siderations Iluvo been offered for votes for political legislation. We have some of the best young men in tlie state in the Democratic party, but they are in danger oi being corrupted by the influences that are surrounding them in ilarrisburg. I sincerely trust that the guilty parties, who have been attempting to seduce nnd I corrupt Democratic members, will be I speedily brought to justice." On Friday last General W. IT. Koontz, ; of Somerset, one of the anti-Quay Re- j publican leaders in the house, offered a resolution to investigate. In his resolu tion lie named a committee for the pur- i pose, which was an eminently fair com mittee. A Quay man was made chairman and the Quay faction was given two members, the Democrats two members and the anti-Quay Republicans one mem ber. as follows: Kreps. of Franklin (Quay), chairman; Tow lor. of Forest (Quay); Fow, of Philadelphia (Detn.): Dixon, of Elk (Detn.), ind Young, of Tioga (anti-Quay Rep.) But this did not suit the Quay ma chine. It fought the proposition that the house should name the investigating com mittee. Captain Skinner, of Fulton (Dom.i. also opposed the house naming the committee, and in this lie stood alone i among the Democrats. Why lie did so is ' uncertain—when such stalwart Demo crats as Dixon, of Elk; Creasy, of Co lumbia; O'Brien, of Schuylkill, and Fow. of Philadelphia, fought to take the ap pointment out of the hands of the Quay speaker, Fnrr. AGAINST INVESTIGATIONS. Voorhees. of Philadelphia, the Quay leader in the house, declared that in j vestigating committees were only wliite- I washing affairs and for this reason he J opposed any investigation. He said that i ; members had been insulted by having ! i placards hung mound all the hotels in j ! Ilarrisburg offeriug $25,000 reward for I bribery. At this point General Tvoontz, of Som- : j ersct. demanded of Mr. Voorhees to I know who it was that had first offered j SIO,OOO reward for. evidence of bribery, i and Voorhees was compelled to say that j it was Senator Quay himself. Voorhees i also offered a substitute for the invest!- j gating resolution, demanding that not I 1 only should senatorial bribery eases be | investigated, but that newspapers and ! ; newspaper co-respondents be investigated ! ! on the ground that they had been paid j : < ash to distort news and bias public I opinion. Representative Corny, of Luzerne, j j speaking in reply, said that this proposi- j lion would only obscure the real investi gation. and that the result of it would i be the farce of investigating newspaper j I editors and publishers over the state. | ! ihits giving the committee months of 1 I time in which to make their report and in ! ; the end defeating the object of the reso- i ; lutioii. Mr. Voorhees subsequently with j drew his substitute: General Koontz i withdrew his proposition that the house ! name the committee and the resolution ; j to investigate passed. Speaker Farr will j now name the committee. I SO M E G F Tlll3 CM A RG ES. i The charges of attempts at bribing members of the legislature, in brief, are ! ;as follows: It is alleged that a | member of the legislature, a Democrat, from the center of the stale, was offered | SSOO to vote for a reconsideration of the i , motion by which the McCarrell bill was [ I postponed. This took place in the Lochicl i ; hotel here. He indignantly refused to uc- j ! copt the bribe. Several days after a mem- ! ber of the lobby drove 15 miles through j ; Ihc blizzard to the home of this member j ; in a central Pennsylvania county, and i ' again renewed the offer of SSOO for his - | vote. Tliis was again refused. , ; On the afternoon of Feb. 15. the last j i day on which a motion to reconsider " | could he made, another Democratic mem ' ler. a reputable and responsible geutle ( man. was offered SI,OOO if he would make a motion to reconsider the vote of I postponement. This was done while the | house was in session, in the lobby just outside. The man, who made this offer' j ; of a bribe, stated to the Democratic i member that his excuse for making the i Read - the - Tribune. motion would be thai it was done on be- ! I half of a friend who was under indict- j I inent in Luzerne county. The member in ; ' question told the would-be briber to ; j write out what lie wanted him to say. j which was agreed to. Before this could I ! be done, however, a motion to adjourn I was made and the scheme fell through. I | The Democratic member in question expressed regret that the affair had not [ proceeded to a finish, because he would I then have had evidence of the deal. As it ! is, the offer was made substantially as ; recited, says the Philadelphia paper in question. COLONEL GUFFEY HERE. National Committeeman Guffey was j gui interested witness of the proceedings . in the house, on Friday last when the ; effort was made by the Quay people to j defeat the resolution to investigate. In view of the fact that nearly all of these j ! assaults have been made by the Quay machine on the integrity of the Demo- ! era tic party. Colonel Guffey feels that nil investigation will clear the atmos- j phere. On Friday afternoon four Demo cratic members, who have been con spicuous for their efforts to kick against J I certain party measures and who were in ; a scheme, having signed a petition, to ! reconvene the caucus and take down the I name of Hon. George A. Jenks and gub- I stitute that of some other Democrat, j 1 visited Mr. Guffey and declared that I | their opposition was at an end. That ! from now on they would join in no more i underhand work in the Democratic or i gaiiization. As an evidence of their good faith they produced the petition to re- : convene the caucus and tore it up in Colonel Gnffcv's presence. SHARP POINTS. An unwelcome guest is one of the best things going. Paradoxical as it may seem, silence speaks for itself. The queen of the tea table not only reigns but she pours. The occasion is always around some where when it is required. Marriage isn't spelled m-i-r-a-g-e, but that is often what it is. For every consulate there are many disconsolates, says an office-seeker. Our own faults always look small in comparison with those we see in oth ■ era. The man who dwells in other people's j memories has to pay exorbitant rent. ! j A little child can discover more stray sunbeams than a grown person can. The hunter who is chased by a bear ' is lucky if he comes out ahead of the game. A woman confers upon herself a j doubtful honor when she reforms a 1 i man by marrying him. "The stars are peeping," says a poet, j ! Well, that's what the peephole in the I drop-curtain is for. ! 'And now it is reputed that a St. j Louis woman died from pneumonia ' contracted while attending a faith cure meeting. The evolution of the worm results in a butterfly. A can of dynamite at tacked by a goat will also make the butter fly. PREC OUS STONES. All precious stones are purified by a 1 bath in honey, according to an old idea. Many curious notions are cur rent in regard to gems. It is said that the agate quenches thirst, and if put into the mouth allays fever. Amber is a cure for sore throats and glandular swellings. Cat's eye is a charm against witch craft. Coral is a talisman against thunder and evils by flood and field. Diamonds produce somnambulism I and spiritual ecstasy. Emeralds, friendship and constancy. Garnets preserve health and joy. The onyx is apt to cause terror to the wearer as well as ugly dreams. Opals are fatal to love and bring dis cord to giver and receiver. Sapphires impel the wearer to all good works. I The topaz is said to be a preventive j 1 to lung troubles and imparts strength. DEVIOUS DEFIN TIONS. Divorce —The cold lunch that follows ! love's banquet. Humility—The uniform worn by hyp ocrites on dress parade. Whistling—The transformation of a popular air into an ill wind. Abuse—The penalty an eminent man is compelled to pay the public. Love—Something that makes the heart flutter and the tongue flatter. Critic—A man who can see no merit in anything he doesn't do himself. Anxiety—The cause of more brain trouble than anything else except love. Logician—An individual who can fig- , ure out anything to his own satisfac- I tion. Language—Something used by law- j yers to conceal the thoughts of their | : clients. Timetable —The one you acquire by j paying for it on the weekly installment ; plan.—Chicago News. Want of tact is an incurable infirm- I ity. When a man plays the races the , races work him. | Cheap jewelry beats the more ex- : i pensive kind all hollow. A tailor is sometimes able to mgnd everything but his ways. Ulsters and roll-top desks hide a great many things from the public. Some men can't understand why the | fool-killer doesn't call next door, i Secret societies evidently originated in Egypt. Mummies the word there. The original settler in Tennessee wa3 probably the first man who tennis saw. It isn't vanity that makes a man go out between the acts and look in the glaes. According to the old saw, every dog has his day. So has every saint, for that matter. One of the most certain ways of ! making time fly is to have to take bit • ter medicine every half hour. - I fCASTORIA ■ a For Infants and Children. £A$!Qi?|A |^ e Kind You Have 'HHff Always Bought simulating thcFoodandßegula- _ m ting the Stomachs and Dowels of i £s6cirß tllß M ■ g- s Promotes DigestioaCheerful- 0 S I wjiF* * ncss and Hest.Contains neither • p F}/.
