Schoolmaster Insurgent Boss Winship instructiha'theA" class in political disruption:
"Boys, pay strict attention to my seasoned wisdom. The way to win is to fool the people bv shouting
gang and 'bosses.' Now all together! Louder, please! Ah, that's better. Of course if we get in we will have to
nave a machine in order to put into force our peculiar lefeas of government we have got to have men elected
tcrorace thjit will be subservient tools to our will or el^e bilr 'machine' will not stick together we must be ab
solute bosses—every 'machine' must have bosses, and in order to have absolute "harmonv there should not be too
many--Ui tact the history of every great undertaking that has Jbeen carried to a successful end has had but one
boss. You must eventually look to me to lead you. I speak ofLthis so that if we are successful—and my special
envoy in the field assures me vre.will be—you must curljfffrjr '%Wtlon in this direction. My children, be careful
not to answer questions put to you concerning your past affiliations or future political conduct by the
abhorant present machine organs. If you attempt to answer, it will surely embarrass our righteous cause: The
more questions they ask the louder we must shout 'gang/ 'machine/ and persecution.' Be careful to not over
look the 'Looting of Alaska.' Many of you, I am firmly convinced, do not know where Alaska is, or who iooted it,
or why it was looted—but it sounds good, and helps our case. Bear down particularly hard on Senator Hans
brough. He is a 'boss* as is convincingly demonstrated by his work in congress. Whenever he goes after any
thing for North Dakota he gets it—therefore he must be a boss in Washington as well as in this state. Avoid
all controversy with the ungodly. The present organization is composed of the ungodly we are the righteous
ones—remember that always—and govern yourselves accordingly. Fool the people by making them believe there
is a great demand for political reform. There really isn't, you know, but in order to satisfy our inordinate
appetite for the offices we must make the people believe they are being down-trodden and we ate the oulj' ones
to pick them up and lead them out of their political bondage into the happy land of political freedom. I haven't
just figured it out yet how we are going to do this and maintain our organization—but no matter. It's the offices
we want first—and then we will do the people. Say, you Indians, Stink Face, Dancing Bull and Yellow Bear,
please leave the room. You are too inquisitive and too unruly to make good insurgents.

Aanoclated Preaa Cable to The Evening
Washington, May 21.—When the
railroad rate bill reaches the house
from the senate, which will probably
be today. Chairman Hepburn will
make a request that it lie on tbe
table pending a conference of repub
lican and democratic members of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, which is to be called as
soon as a print of the bill with the
senate amendments included is avail
able.
This has been decided upon by Rep
resentative Hepburn as the proper way
to get the sense of tbe members of the
committee of both parties, in view of
unanimous action of that committee in
reporting the bill.
There is no likelihood, in the opinion
of those in touch with the situation,
that the house will at once accept the
amendments of the senate, a refusal
of which necessitates a conference.

SEDR¥¥UI
TURNEO UPON
CONSULS
Our Representatives in the
Orient Being Subject to
Careful Investigation.
Br E. C. Snyder.
Washington, D. C.. May 2.1—Secre
tary Root has started a thorough In
vestigation into the charges made by
Assistant Secretary Pierce against the
former consuls in the Orient and the
counter charges made by the accused
men against Mr. Pierce. The three
most prominent cases to which the
attention of the public have' been di
rected are those of Dr. McWade, for
mer Consul General at Canton, China,
O. F. Williams, formerly consul at
Singapoure and Richard T. Grener,
who occupied a like position at Vlad
ivostock.
The enquiries of Secretary Root
have proceeded far enough to warrant
him in the belief that a great injus
tice was done in the case of Richard T.
Greener and it is officially announced
that that gentleman is to be restored
to the consular service.
An old Latin maxim is Ex uno
omnes—from one learn all—and it re
mains to be seen if it will apply in all
three cases. Those who knew the
three principal victims of toe Pieree
report are unable to account for the'
radical change which has come over
them according to that document since
their sojourn in the Orient
Dr. McWade was for nearly a quar
ter of a century editor of the Phila
delphia Ledger. He was the founder
of the Permanent Relief society of the
Quaker city, an organization which has
expended upwards of fifteen millions
in the prompt relief of such sufferers
from calamities as those of Johnstown,
Memphis, Galveston and San Fran
cisco. He was elected permanent sec
retary of the society and up to the
time of his appointment to the con
sular service his reputatipn was as
high as that of any citraen of the
Quaker city.
Mr. Williams of Rochester, N. Y.,
another of those against whom Mr.
Pierce has made such serious charges,
enjoys the respect and confidence of
his fellow citizens of Rochester and it
is said that the general disposition
among them is to believe that Secre
tary Pierce has been grievously misled
in -his case at least.
Richard T. Greener is a colored man.
He was born in South Carolina and
was educated at Harvard. He was the
first colored man to be graduated from
the Cambridge institution. For some
time he was law clerk in the office
of the comptroller of the treasury anV
afterwards was appointed secretary of
the New York City Civil Service com
mission and secretary of the Grant
monument fund. Both in Washington
and New York he enjoyed the entire
confidence of everyone with whom he
came in contact His Integrity was
never questioned and so far as being
"boorish" in his demeanor he was- on
the contrary a man of the most gen
tlemanly bearing—that is before he
went to Vladlvostock.
The fact is that Mr. Pierce seems to
have set the example followed by
Poultney Bigelow In his investigations
with the conditions of affairs on the
(CnllnKi pace 8.)
