The Standard Oil Octupus Is Just finding out that "tho wages of sin Is death," and it is our President who la teaching it this great lesson. Of course the Oil Trust is by no means a "dead one" yet, but it has succeeded in getting Into a position from which it cannot escape without having a few of its illegal limbs lopped oft. The prospective storm is arising out of the Inquiry the bureau of corporations has been making in regard to the Standard Oil Trust, under the personal supervision of Commissioner Garfield. The report proves that in spite of the El kins law, the Standard Oil Company has been receiving rebates amounting in some cases to fully 50 per cent of the tariff rates. Almost every railroad system Is Involved In the report, and the Standard Oil Company for once in its life is frightened. Its masters who for years have asked the American public "what they are going to do about It?" are now crawling to President Roosevelt, and begging him to withold the report until the railroad rate bill has been voted on by the senate. In other words, realizing the storm of public indignation which will be loosed on th,e publication of the report, and knowing that it will be great enough to 'force the Hepburn rate bill even through the Benate, the masters of Standard Oil wish the Prescient to withold publication of the inquiry into their business until they can defeat the measure for restraining tho railroads. But Roosevelt, who is the same honest man the people so overwhelmingly elected to the presidency two years ago, has refused to help the Standard Oil Interests out of their dilemma and will send the report to the house of representatives in aBhort time accompanied by a message from him. In attempting to reach the President tho Standard Oil crowd have made use of their paid hlrlings the "railroad senators," of whom Senator Aldrlch, grandfather of the newest Rockefeller baby, is tho leader. Senator Aldrich and his railroad colleagues have tried every inducement without success, to persuade the President to yield from the firm stand he has taken of protecting the rights of the people. In their endeavors to tempt the president to suppress tho Garfield inquiry, they have insinuated that the fight against his railroad policy would be dropped, and have even gone so far as to intimate that the statehood bill, the Philippine tariff bill, and the free alcohol bill should get through the senate as recommended by him. All endeavors, however, have failed and the Presideut will soon submit the Garfield report. Senator Aldrich has only himself to blame in regard to the railroad rate bill not having been voted upon before tho report of the inquiry is made public. He has done everything in his power to delay action on tho rate bill from the time It came to the senate, in hopes of tiring public opinion and enabling a bill suitable to the railroads to be passed. But Senator Aldrich seems to hav Biiuyiy uriuugeu a nice mue trap Icr himself, and fallen into it.

GOSSIP OF NATIONAL CAPITAL

(By A. W. Washington, D. C, May 1. Jerry A. Matthews ,a newspaper man from Indiana, has violated the oldest tradition of the United States Senate. He attended one of the executive sessions of the Senate without knowing it. nd thpy ftt-ft RUDTKined tn he held In secret. After "Jerry," as every one familiarly calls him, parted company with Vice President Fairbanks' he took on work with the Washington bureau of the New York Sun and was assigned the job of reporting the proceedings of the Senate from the senate floor. He has a desk on the floor of the senate Sust in front of the clerk's desk and he is entitled to the floor at all times except in executive session. 'Jerry" came up from lunch the other day, wandered In to his seat and remained there for six or eight minutes while the Alaska boundary commission treaty was being read and then decided to go out because he thought it an uninteresting document. Nobody said a word to him. After he got up In the press gallery hfi Ifiarnfirl that h had hnsf-prt In on. an executive session and did not know it. Tho doorkeepers are so used to seeing him go in and out of the chamber that they did not notice him going In when an executive session was on. Many pleasant jokes have been cracked over the affair at the expense of both "Jerry" asd the senators. It is safe to say that he is the first outsider who ever attended a secret session of the United States Senate and he did it without knowing if at the time. Worth W. Foster, the New Albany young man who lost his place at the United States Naval Academy, has been taken care of. Quartermaster General Humphrey has been prevailed upon to lend a helping hand to the unfortunate young fellow and he has been ordered to the cable ship Burnsldes which is now at San Francisco. He is to report there for duty at once and has been made a third officer of that vessel. If he is careful from now on he may yet redeem himself in the eyes of the naval officers fend make a record for himself. Representative Chaney has just returned to Washington after getting a renominatlon to congress from the second district of Indiana, and is feeling Jubilant over the prospects of reelection. A few days ago in being renominated the gentleman making the speech said that Mr. Chaney deserved to be returned to Congress for he had made every man. woman and child In the district a postmaster. By that pleasant remark he meant that the free delivery service that LOCAL CHURCH APPROVES BILL Free Alcohol Measure is Endorsed by Grace Church Members. HEMENVVAY'S FIRM STAND. INDIANA'S JUNIOR SENATOR IS COMING IN FOR MUCH PRAISE ON ACCOUNT OF HIS ATTITUDE. Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 1. The Star publishes the following from its Washington correspondent: Senator Hemenway's unqualified declaration of support of the free alcohol bill, as announced recently in the Star, has brought to him many letters of commendation from Indiana. M. C. Price a prominent member of the Grace Methodist church of Richmond, writes that at a recent meeting the Rev. Wr. M. Nelson, pastor of the church, asked all who approved the bill providing for free denaturized alcohol to stand. There was an attendance of more than 200, Mr. Price states, and every person arose. The Shelbyville Mirror Works, the American Chair Co. of Seymour and the C W. Meikel Co., of Indianapolis ara among the business firms that have written to the junior senator expressing approval of the bill. In Danger In Senate. It is very evident that the free alcohol bill is in grave danger in the senate. A powerful combination of Interests has been formed to kill it. It is proposed to do this firBt by smothering it in the committee on finance of which Senator Aldrich is chairman. If public opinion forces it out of committee an effort will be made to load it down with amendments which will make its passage impossible. The Standard Oil company and the wood alcohol people have been reinforced in their fight against the bill by the protected interests generally, the steel trust being especially in evidence. The fear of the protected interests is that if the bill gets before the senate it will open the tariff revision ball and lead to many amendments Intended to strike at the heart of the present tariff system. New Cars Pass Through. Several new electric cars, just out of the Barney & Smith car shops, of Dayton, passed through here yesterday on the Dayton & Western and the I. & E. lines enroute to Indianapolis for tho use of the "Rushville Line." The cars were dark red in color and handsomely fin 1st sd both Inside and out. , -

Tracey.) hnrt rm in thtt tUntric.t tinder Mr. Chaney's administration that he had pushed the rural service to such an extent that nearly every farmer was now having his daily mail delivered at his door every morning. This is a fact and it Is a matter that Mr. Chaney had Worked on until he landed it for his constituents. A rural delivery agent has been la that districe nearly every day now for almost two years, or ever since Mr. Chaney was first eledted and he has pushed the work almost to completions . . Mr. Chaney says that there has been such an influx e-f Repnklieans into the district that he fsels that Us district is safely Republican and he hopes to carry it this fall by at least 2,000. 1 Now that Representative George W. Cromer has bee renominated to CoagresB people are wondering what is to be doae to the postmasters, rural carriers, city letter carriers, clerks, eta., in the eight congressional district by the postmaster geeral. Early in the campaign fteorge McCulloch, a prominent citlzea ef tfaat district and an avowed enemy of Mr. Cromer, filed charges ayrAmmt aetirly every postmaster, and atany the postofflcec clerks and carriers, both city and rural, in the ditttlsi, charging them with pernlious activity In politics. He asked for their removal from office at once. Postmaster General Cortelyou ordered an Investigation of the charges and the matter has been kept under cover all this time. It is alleged that Mr. Cortelyou wanted to deal fairly with both factions in the district and that he thought it wise to delay all aclon until after the nomination had been made, so that neither side could accuse him of playing favorites in the fierce fight that has been waged. Now that the nomination has been fought to a finish and the matter settled it is said that the postofflce department will now show its hand. Just what will be done is hard to predict as those who really know are bottled up and "mum is the word." It will come out in time and it is thought that that time is not far distant. Senator Beveridge says that one of the most perplexing problems that has arisen over the statehood conference has come up over the question of mineral lands and laws governing same. It has become so prominent in the handling of the question that the conference committee is holding hearings on the proposition. Two sides are contesting every Inch of ground from a legal standpoint and the fight is waxing warm. The senior senator will not predict the outcome.

INDUSTRIES OF HOOSIER STATE Statistics Gathered by Census Bureau. Touch Many Branches of Activity. SMALL FACTORIES GOING THE CAPITAL INVESTED HAS INCREASED MORE THAN 40 PER CENT. IN THE STATE. ' Palladium Special. Indianapolis, Ind., May 1. A dispatch from Washington says that within a few days the census bureau will formally make public the statistics for the manufacturing Industries of Indiana as obtained from the census of 1905, which has just been completed. The statistics will be issued in pamphlet form, together with a great deal of entertaining and valuable information in line of comment. This census wil be of interest practically to every business man and waw oarnpr in th KnnRipr commonwealth, as it touches nearly all branches of industrial activity. The gathering of these statistics has been a long and tedious task. An act of Congress requires the statistics of manufacturers to be token every five years. A corps of experts was sent to Indiana and they collaborated with the agents of the bureau in the state. Collection of the statistic occupied about five months and even longer time was consumed in tabulating them. The report presents several striking comparisons. For Instance the number of manufacturing, establishments has been constantly decreasing in Indiana during the last five years. This attributed to the general movement toward consolidation that has prevailed throughout the country. 4 The consolidation of establishments however, has not been a handicap to the industrial progress of the commonwealth. Although in 1903 there were eighty-four fewer, manufacturing establishments in Indiana than In 1900 the capital invested had increased from $219,321,080 to $312,071, 234 or 42.3 per cent.
