ROSEWATER, EnrTon. their gains and strengthen their power these giants of rapacity took advantage of it regardless of the means to be em- vloyed. The corruption of legislators and public oflicials was car.ied on as sytematically as any other part of their business. Their attorneys and lobbyists were kept at Washington under fine sala- ries and with unlimited priviloges of ex- penditure, and wherever else the pur- chase of support for the schemes of the corporation or of hostility to measures adverse to its interests was necessary, the purchase was made at any price. Millions have been used in the business of corruption, al- though no record was kept by which the full extent of the rascality can be known, every dollar of which the peo- ple were robbed of. The corruptionists could not conceal the fact that for years they had been using money without stint in buying legislators, but they shrewdly omitted from the accessible records all account of this outgo, or ingeniously con- cealed it under some other form of ex- penditure. A combine of more reckless and skillful rascals never existed than Huntington, Stantord, Crocker and their confederates. When Huntington was before the com- mission in New York he did not deny that the Pacific Central had always been represented in Washington and that money was liberally used there. He had not the slightest idea, however, as to how much had beeu used, and as to the object he jeeringly informed the commis- sion it was for ‘“‘explaining thiugs.” When the commission got to San Fran- cisco and Leland Stanford was called be- fore it, it was found that the Central managers had adopted a policy even more non-committal than that sugested by the testimony of Mr, Huntington. Stanford is a senator of the United States, sworn to respect and uphold the laws of the country, from one of which, enacted by the congress of which heis a member, the investigating commission derives its ex- istence and authority. When asked by the commission whether the corporations of which he 1s the executive officer had paid any money or other valuable considera- tion, or done any other act or thing, for the purpose of influencing legislation, Mr. Stanford not only evaded the ques- tion, but virtually told the commission that it was none of its business how the corporation had spent its money, so long as no reduction was made from that por- tion of the net earnings belonging to the United States, It was this same gentle~ man who subsequently had the sublime impudence to say that the government is a debtor to the Central Pacific to the amount of more than $60,000,000.

The evidence that this policy of refusal and evasion was carefully prearranged is shown in the fact that one subordinate officiat de- clined, ‘‘under instructions,” to pro- duce his books and records, while another declined to answer the question a8 to whether or not he was counsel for the railroad. The defiant attitude of the Central Pa- cific officials 18 consistent with their past course, and is the natural one for men to assume who are conscious of their guilt and have in mind the well-deserved pen- alty for their crime. So far us the pub- lic is concerned their course is a suftic- ient confegsion of guilt, and of such stu- pendous proportions, it may fairly be be- lieved, as would startle the country were it fully laid bare. But the object sought to be accomplished by the creation of the commission will not be autained if the results of its mvestigation reach no farther than this, Itis expected to push its probe to the very bottom and unearth every fact thatis of record or memory, to the end that if there are any who have been engaged in this prolonged and gigantic scheme of plunder and cor- ruption who can be punished they shall not be nllowed to escape justice. The money involved the people can afford to lose if it is beyond recovery, but the crime calls for atonement. It is re- ported that the commission is undecided asto whether it shall use its authority to bring the defiant officials before the courts. Such hesitation will subject the commission to public dis- approyal. Its duty in the matter is plain, and no consideration for these men should cause the commis- sion to pause a moment in the discharge of that duty. It represents the sovereign demand of the nation for a full and com- plete disclosure of the facts in this pro- longed history of unsurpassed venality, and that demand must not be tritled with. The commission should deal promptly and firmly with these defiant and self-condemned corruptionists, The Condition of Crops. The crop condition, ns reported by the MAYOR BROATCH is patted on the buck with a left-hander from the jobber organ, which still persists that as between the council and police commission the law is on the side of the council. The commis- sion has no money to squander on reader- less papers. CoLoNEL EuGeNE HiGaINs will be a prominent issue in the next campaign.

THE lotter of invitation from the citi- wens of Lincoln to the vresident was evidently written by a real estate agent.
