WASHINGTON LETTER*
By Chas. A. Edwards.
I May »nd, 1904.
[ Last week was a hay making
and a hay raking one for the demo
crats in (he House of Repreaenta
,l jtires. They place i the republicans
on the Spit and toast d th m to a
• rich brown In the first place the
; Hon. John Sharp Williams, the able
and vigilant floor leader of the
| Minority in the House, caught the
! republicans napping in the com
| mittee on the judiciary, and when
there was a majority of 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
I tions requested the Attorney Gen
' eral to intorm the House whether
! any investigation was ever had at
1 his suggestion, of the so called Ai.»
1 thracite Coal Trust, and to send lo
the House all reports, pape s and
I documents bearing on th« case.
The other resolution requested the
Attorney General to iufoim the
' House whether any criminal pros*-
, cations have been instituted by the
Department of Justice against the
indiridua'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 the
| 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#
1 inaugurated in that behalf.
These resolutions were steeping
peacefu ly in the pigeon boles of
| the desk of the republican chairman
of that committee, and there tla
' republicans intended they should
sleep and die of Inanition or to
-mothered to death. They did not
want them ever to see the light of
day, 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 side, and many quick
conference* and much wagging of
heads. It was all to late. The
misch'ef was done and thsir Attor
ney General will be shown up as a
tool of the trusts and recreant to his
oath of office, for which he ought
to be impeached. Let the people
of the country note and rejoice at
a leadership on the democratic side
endowed with vigilance, brains and
patrotism,
• • •
The next gun shot the republi
cans received was on last Saturday
when the Hon. W. Bourke Cockran,
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 rcpub
lican legislation ou 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 and
inventive and briatled with
that were irrefutable. The repub
licans aank lower into their Mats
than they have b en wont to ait
for many a day. Several of the old
dowager atateamen on the republi
can side, like Groavenor, Payne
and Dalsell, essayed to interrupt
him «ith qu sti ns and statemente,
but on each interruption they went
to their aeata limping. He had

1 flattened old man Grosvenor and
1 old man Payne, and made them
I look like thirty cents' worth of dog
, meat. Ha waa a human bun saw
t in rapid motion, and any repupll
can with the temerity to interrupt
him, had the sympathy and com
' miseration ol the Houae. The cli
max of the dramatic scene, how
-1 ever, came when Dalzell interrupt-
I ed him to a'ate that ha had under
1 stood that Mr. Cockran had recoiv
ed large pay for his speeches for
- McKinley in tha campaign of 1896.
It was like touching off a powder
: magazine. 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 fare for
the speeches made at that time
He ssid that no man was quick lo
attribute infamy to another unless
he was well acquainted with Jfhim
self, and that they were trying to
accuse him of what every man
knew was the univeraal custom of
1 every republican politician—taking
money in a campaign. When Dal
zell again aroae and sa'd he had
been informed by a democratic
membe. of the House of the accu
sation he had made, the storm
broke over his head in real earnest.
Mr. Cockran*rushed down the aisle
shouting, with his arms ralaed
above his head, ' .'name him" "name
him," 1 name him," and .heentire
democratic side joined in the chorus
1 name him,'' until pandemonium
reigned and no such dramatic scene
has been enacted on the of
the houao during this session.
When Da'sell refused to name him,
then with the most withering scorn
Mr. Cockran turned to him and
aaid that any man who made that
confession could not again interrupt
him or come voluntarily within hi*
vision. He said that Dalzell, not
being able to name the author of
the statement or produce the proof,
was what could not be named on
the floor of the Houae under par
liamentary rulea to wit, a common
every day liar.
It was a great speech by a great
man, and 1 field day for the demo
crats.

eoach days on the frontier has only
Just begun. For every one yet told
there are a thousand better ones
hidden in the mountains, hanging
in faint echoes about the campfires
of the pioneers.
If you lire swhile in the cabins
along the Yuba, above XarysviUe,
yon will find miners still coyoting
among the thrice sifted piles of
gravel for the aftermath of 48; you
will find old stage drivers, with bent
and twisted hands, who know every
noted driver of the Pacific coast;
you will hear stories of staging 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 logger stories one
hears, there are doaens 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 and Marys
ville, by way of Penn Valley, Bough
and Beady, Smsrtsville sod Timbuc
too. About 1861 he was in his glory,
the ideal of a driver and able to
hold his own with any ons on the
; route. He receivod his name from
the remark of a little girl, the
daughter of the hotel keeper at
1 Murphy's ranch. She once uid off
his lap and ran off, ssying that hs
. was "too smoky to stay with;" she
"liked men who did not puff cigars
in her face."
1 After this episode Smoky's real
name fell into disuse. He wss
. "Smoky" and "014 Smoky" from
. the Sierras to ths Sacramento.
On the day when Smoky had his
runaway affair the stage swung into
Grass Valley early in the morning
with two passengers aboard, both
r inside. They had brsskfast, and
then Smoky took charge. He drove
, around in front of the store to wait
for another passenger. He put on
1 the brake, as he supposed, twisted
r the reins about the brake bar and
> went into the store. The four horses
1 started off at full speed, and, strik
. ing a stone, the isr Ist ths brake
loose. Then the horses flew down
the grade like sons of destruction.
The passengers sat in silence, a
1 little surprised at the rapid mo
. tion, but believing that the driver
| waa on the box. One of them was
' a small, nervous, bright eyed young
man, newly come to California, a
r young man who was just beginning
' a career of invention and manufac
turing achievement that haa given
him place among the seore or so of
foremost Californians. The other
man was a mere nonentity.
The young man with the bright
eyes begsn tft sse that something
waa wrong with the stsge. It wont
too fsst. It swung too much. He
climbed on the seat snd let down
the narrow window nearest the
driver's box. He leaned out and
managed to raise himself fsr enough
to see thst the horses were run
ning swsy. He called to the driver,
but received no reply.
The young man reflected that the
road ahead was not an easy one for
a runaway stagecoach to manage.
They were now on the down grade j
next came a hill, then another de
scent, then a second hill, then a
long, steep and winding piece of
down srade. The hones must be
stoppea before this dsscent wss
reached or a smashup was inevita
ble. He decided to ao his bent to
check the horses. If he fsiled he
would jump out snd lesve them.
The first thing to do was to awing
en the driver's box. A heavier man
might have failed, but the young
stranger was alert and muaculsr.
He wstched his chance, caught the
iron bar at the end of the seat
drew himself out, poised a second
on the window sUI and leaped up
ward lust as the stagecoach swung
toward him. He found himself
landed, in consequence, upon the
driver's seat and clinging to the
brake bar. The linee jrere flying
wildly over the heads of the horses
or tangled under their feet
The young man began to put on
the brakes, net with hasta, bat slow
ly and carefully, The mat curving
blocks af oak settled 'down against
the wheels, but the rapidity of the
vehicle's motion was new such that
there was danger ol heating tha
tins and causing than to fly from
the Wtwela. Again and Again he
tightened the haakea and raleased
them, steadying the masaira coach
aa It awung around the sharp curves
ol the dusty road and reeled from
side to side tike a drunken giant
At ons moment the yanag man felt
the eoech scrape against the eleven
pine roots of the mountain side, and
at the next W felt * eddy along the
verge of the ravine and lean ever ths
