Ye^tevdajy the long anticipated con gressional battle between morality and immorality was formally opened, and in the preliminary skirmish morality triumphed by a large majority, and Congressman-elect Roberts was placed in an unenviable position. He w^s per mitted to speak in his own defense,and by the gift of sylvan oi’atory which he possesses, was enabled to create a flut ter of admiration because of his natur al gifts in that direction. Men admire a good speech, eloquently worded, and are ready to applaud talent, even though their convljtions remain un shaken. And thus it was in the House of Representatives yesterday when Roberts was making his plea for mem bership in that body. Applause from the galleries was not wanting while he fired his oratorical battery, but when It came to taking the vote for and against him, ah, then was the time when the true sentiment of the people came to the front, and the verdict of decent cit izenship was pronounced in no uncer tain tones in condemnation of poly gamy and in opposition to the seating of its champion before his eligibility is - subjected to a most searching investi gation. While eloquent in his defense, Mr. Roberts failed utterly in removing the stigma which' attaches to his mode of living, or in refuting the main charge which renders him obnoxious as a law maker. Even his vicious at tempt to make President McKinley wilfully responsible for the appoint ment of a man as guilty as himself was plainly proven by his own admission,in the face of a vigorous challenge, to be a disreputable subterfuge, while the Democratic side of the House, to whom he directed an especial appeal, was and probably will be careful how i t comes to his aid. Mr. Taylor’s ringing speech in defense of morality stands out in bright and vivid contrast of sentiment, as against that of Roberts, and the storm of applause which greeted it in the House is appreciatively echoed throughout the country. The resolution which Mr. Taylor so ably supported implies the exclusion of Mr. Roberts, not only from all partici pation in the proceedings of the House pending a thorough investigation by a committee, and until the committee’s report has been acted upon by the House, b u t he is also denied a seat in the h all in the formal acceptation of the term. That means that for a time, at least, the representatives who are personally regardful of the claims of morality will be free from the close contamination of his presence, and, let us hope, is the forerunner of a moment when polygamous Roberts will be for mally and permanently declared an un fit person to sit in the legislative halls of the nation, an unfit person to help make laws for better people. Roberts has been defeated in the preliminary contest. Now keep him out. When the congressman from this district was interviewed a.short time ago on this subject, he tersely respond ed that when the Roberts case came up, he \should vote upon it.\ His com munication published in The Leader to-day, in response to the Thanksgiv ing resolutions passed in this city, shows very plainly that his constitu ents made no mistake in depending upon his ready and cordial co-opera- through expressing favor for the standard.^ The Democrats will be than pleased to join issue on such a subjept.in the presidential compaign of nbxt year.—Cohoes Dispatch. That’s a mighty poor sort of bluff, and will fool nobody. It was gold against free silver in 1896, and gold tri umphed by a tremendous majority.- Bince then Democracy has been trying very hard to suppress its attitude re garding honest money, and -if a very large and actually sincere element of the party could have its way, free sil ver and its chief advocate, Bryan, would he dropped like a hot potato. That element not only recognizes the falsity of the position of that faction of their party which arraigns itself against the metal which nearly the whole world regards as standard, but it can also see that the repetition of the old fight of 189G means nothing less lection as the Dispatch says, but they tuimi \ At Tuesday afternoon’s session all w^e-PA^s^J S m a m , ipliea, made a report, which under ,’s materials and,lalbori $l.085.08; carpenters' work,-luipiber arid mater ials, $738.'?!; plumhing, sewers and roofingi' :$.623.6T! .hardware and steel coHmgs,.$376.,90,; total $2,948.49, yarifledi Statements, o f the aibove ex penditures wei-e furnished to the com mittee and after examination-the same were ceidided to the clerk of the board, who issued cheeks as directed in the resolution ordering .the repah-s to -be made.
