WASHINGTON LETTER.

' i"
May »nd, 1904.
Last week was a hay making
and a bay raking one for the demo
crats in the House of Represents
lives. They place J the republicans
on the spit and toast d th- m to a
rich brown In the first place the
Hon. John Sharp William#, the able
and vigilant floor leader of the
Minority in the House, caught the
n publicans napping in the com
mittee on the judiciary, and when
there was a majority »f demo rata
present, and obtained favorable re
ports on both his resolutions aimed
at the vitals of this republican ad
ministration. One of these resolu
tions requested the Attorney Gen
eral to inform the House whether
any investigation was ever had at
his suggestion, of the so called Ai.-
thracite Coal Trust, and to send to
the House all reports, pspe s and
documents bearing on the case.
The other resolution requested th-
Attorney General to iufoim the
House whether any criminal prose
cutions have been instituted by the
Department of justice against the
individua's of corporations who
were adjudged recently by the Su
preme Court of the United States,
in the Northern Securities case, to
be guilty of having violated ths
laws of the United States, and to
send to the House all papers and
documents bearing upon any prose
cutions inaugurated or about to b#
inaugurated in that behalf.
These resolutions were sleeping
peacefu ly in the pigeon holes of
the desk of the republican chairman
of that committee, and there the
republicans intended they should
sleep and die of inanition or te
to death. They did not
want them ever to see the light of
because they knew their re
calcitrant Attorney General had not
taken any action and would not
take any action in either case.
When it became known that John
Sharp Williams had dug them out
of the committee with a favorable,
report, and that the committee on
rules could not stifle them on ac
count of the fact that they now
come up as priviledged matter,
there was consternation on the re
publican aide, and many quick
conference* and much wagging of
heads. It was all to latcu The
misch ef was done and their Attor
ney General will be shown up as a
tool of the trusts and recreant to his
oathoTolfice, for which he ought
to be impeached. Let the peop!e
of the country note and rejoice at
a leadership on the democratic side
endowed with vigilance, braina and
patrotism.
*• * ♦
The next gun shot the republi
cans received was on last Saturday
when the Hon. W. BourkeCockrsn,
of New York, simply tore the in
nards out of them and strewed them
along the floor of the House. It
was a great speech and aroused
the most intense enthusiasm on
the democratic side of the House
and the deepest gloom on the re
publican side. Mr. Cockran re
viewed the whole gamut of re pub
lican legislation on the tariff ques
tion, the trust question, and on the
rottenness in the departments and
the refusal of the republicans to in
vestigate them and give the people
the benefit of such investigation to
the end that the light may pour in
to the dark places and the guilty
may be punished. He arranged
them, he lashed them, he sco ed
them and blistered them in language
that fai ly sizzled with venom aud
inventive and briatled with fa.ts
that were irrefutable. The repub
licans sank lower into their seats
than they have b en wont to sit
for many a day. Several of the old
dowager statesmen on the republi
can side, like Groavenor, Payne
and Dalxell, essayed to interrupt
him with qu sti ns and statements,
but on each interruption they went
to their seats limping. He had

gave each of us a dose and we at
once felt the effects. I procured a
bottle and before using the entire

flattened old man Grosvenor and
old man Payne, and made them
look like thirty cents' worth of dog
meat. He was a human buxz saw
in iapid motion, and any repupli-t
can with the temerity to interrupt
him, had the sympathy and com
miseration ol the Hous«. The cli
max of the dramatic scene, how
ever, came when Dalzell interrupt
ed him to s'ate that be had under
stood that Mr. Cockraa had receiv
ed large pay for his speech** for
McKinley in the campaign of 1896.
It was like touching off • powder
msgazine. Mr. Cockran denounced
the statement as the vilest slander
and made a statement of his posi
tion in that campaign, and that he
had received not even car far* for
the speeches made at that time
He ssid that no man waa quick to
attribute infamy to another unlets
he was well acquainted with jrhim
self, and that they were trying to
accuse him of what every man
knew was the universal custom of
every republican politician—taking
money in a campaign. When Dal
zell again arose and sa d he had
been informed by a democratic
membc. of the House of the accu
sation he hid made, the storm
broke over his head in raal earned.
Mr. Cockran'rushed down the aisle
shouting, with his arms raiaed
above his head, "name him" "name
him." ' name him." and he entire
democratic side joined in the chorus
'name him,*' until pandemonium
reigned and no such dramatic scene
has been enacted on the of
the house during this s**aion.
When Da'iell refused to name him,
then with the most withering scorn
Mr. Cockran turned to him and
said that any man who made that
confession could not again interrupt
him or come voluntarily within hi*
vision. He said that Dalzell, not
being abl* to name the author of
the statement or produce the proof,
wai what could not be named on
the floor of the House under par
liamentary rules to wit, a common
every day liar.
It was a great speech by a great
msn, and a field day for the demo
crats.

! HIS FIRST
j; ACHIEVEMENT I
The telling of the stories of stage
coach days on the frontier has only
just begun. For every one yet told
there are a thousand better ones
hidden in the mountains, hanging
ia faint echo** about the campfirea
of the pioneers.
If "you live awhile in the cabins
along the Yuba, above Marysville,
you will find miners still coyoting
among the thrice siftod piies of
gravel for the sftcrmath of 49; you
will find old stage drivers, with bent
and twisted bands, who know every
noted driver of the Pacific coast;
you will hear stories of stnging in
the fifties and sixties in the wildest
parts of the Sierras that have never
reached print, but have been car
ried on through manifold traditions
until they have reached the com
pleteness and the dignity of an epic
of the stagecoach.
Besides the longer stories on*
hears, there arc doxens of lesser ep
isodes of the staging days—the ep
isode of Smoky's runaway, for in
stance.
Smoky was a famous stage driver
between Grass Valley ana Marys
ville, byway of Penn Valley, Rough
and Beady, Smartsville and Timbuc
too. About 1861 he was in his glory,
the ideal of a driver and able to
hold his own with sny one on the
route. He received his nsme from
the remark of a little girl, the
daughter of the hotel keeper at
Murphy's ranch. She once slid off
his lap and ran off, laying that he
was "100 smoky to stay with;" she
"liked men who did not puff cigars
In her face."
After this episode Smoky's real
same fell into disuse. He was
"Smoky" and "Old Smoky" from
the Sierras to the Sacramento.
On tli« dayfrhen Smoky had his
runaway affair the stsge swung into
Grass Valley early ia the morning
with two passengers aboard, both
inside. They had breakfast, and
then Smoky took charge. He drove
around in front of the store to wait
for another passenger. He put on
the brake, as he supposed, twisted
the reins sbout the brake bar and
went into the store. The four horses
started off st full speed, and, strik
ing a stone, the Jar let the brsk*
loose. Then the horses flew down
the grade like sons of destruction.
The passengers sat in silence, •
little surprised at the rapid mo
tion, but believing that the driver
was on the box. One of them waa
a small, nervous, bright eyed young
man, newly come to California, a
young man who was just beginning
a career of invention and manufac
turing achievement that has given
him plsce smong tho score or so of
foremost Californians. The other
man was a mere nonentity.
The young man with the bright
eyes began tS see that something
was wrong with the stage. It went
too fast. It swung too much. He
climbed on the scat" end let down
the nsrrow window nearest th«
driver's box. He leaned out and
managed to raise himself far enough
to see thst the horses were run
ning away. He called to the driver,
but received no reply.
The young man reflected that th«
road ahead was not an easy ons for
a runaway stagecoach to manage.
They were now on the down grade;
next came a hill, then another do
scent, then a second hill, then a
long, steep and winding piece of
down trade. The horses must b*
stopped before this descent waa
reached or a smashup was inevita
ble. He decided to ao his best to
check the horses. If he failed h*
would jump out and leave them.
The first thing to do was to swing
en the driver's box. A heavier man
might have failed, tat the young
stranger was alert and muscular.
H* watched his chance, eaught th*
Iron bar at the end of the seat,
drew himself out, poised a second
on the window sill and leaped up
ward just as the stagecoach swung
toward him. He Found himself
landed, in consequence, upon the
driver's seat and clinging to the
brake bar. The lines were flying
wildly over the heads of th* horse*
or taingled under their feet
The voting man began to put on
th* brake*, not with haate, but slow
ly and carefully. The great curving
blocks of oak settled down against
the wheela, but the rapidity of the (
nhklt'i motion wee mm tuck that
there «w danger of beating Um
tiree and eaoeing them to iy from
the wheels. Again and again ha
tightened the brakaa and reloaded
them, steadying the maaaire coach
aa it awang around the aharp coma
of the duaty road and reeled from
aide to aide tike a drunken giant.
At one moment the young man felt
the coach ecrape againet the cloven
pine roota of the mountain aide, and
at the next hrf felt it eddy along the
verge of the ravine and Wan over the ,
abym aa if ready to plunge dov*
