Palaces for Paupers.


Gov. Tilden, Of New York, speaks with
much feeling of pauper charity in that
state. and we can't say that we blame him,
after hearing the facts. Four institutions
of charity are now being erected in that
state, three asylums for the insane and one
reformatory. A year ago $2,750,0OO had
been expended on them, and $450,O00
more, appropriated, remain to be expend
ed; and yet, no considerable part of these
works had been made available When
they are completed the governor estimates
they will have cost as much more as has
already been expended on them-say Sc,
100000. The outlay will have been about
SIS, 900 for each pauper patient, or $25, 00C
for every family, or group of five persons.
This the governor declares, lis uureason-
adle and extravaganza" How many fami-
lies of laborers and thrifty producers can
afford to live in house costing $25,000?''
he asks. In 1860 the average cost OF
stone dwellings in the state was $4,000 or
S~iOOO lOl thO oNSAoSO SOo'
of the brick dwellings was $4,000, orh$1,-
200 for each inmate; and the average cost
of the wooden dwellings was $l,l00, OIL
1920 for each inmate, Commenting or
these facts, the governor says:
Il deny that there is any sound public
policy 10 erecting palaces for criminals, fol
paupers, or for the insane. A style Of
architecture simple, and fitted to the ma
ture Of its object, would reconcile artistic
taste with justice towards the industriou;
producers, on whom falls the burden Of
providing for the unfortunate. Waste il
such edifces is not only wrong to the tax
payers, but by just so much it consumes
the fund which the state is able to provide
for the objects of its charity.
Nor does the mischief stop with the
completion of costly dwellings. The stat,
still has to provide annually for the support
of their inmates. By an inevitable associa
ton of ideas in mems minds, magnifi
cent homes lead to magnificent current ex
penditure. The pride of officers and mana
gers, and of local admirers, and the zeal o
benevolence, are freely INDUCED, wher,
they are gratiied without expense to thos,
who are swayed by them"

THE RECUsINT KILBOURNE.
Refusing to Produce the Books OF tho Real

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Mr. Hallett
Kilbourne appeared before the Real Estate Pool
Committee this morning, and again declined to
produce tho private books and papers Of the
Arm o: Kilbourne 4 Latta In relation TO their
real estate transactions, on the ground that he
and his partners are engaged In private business,
and have no connection with the Government
Of tho United States, except to pay taxes and
obey the laws; that thoy are not conscious Of
having violated any law, nor are they charged
with any fraud, and that the production of their
books and papers would reveal their transac-
tons Win all their customers. II, however, any
respectable citizen would allege that their bust
ness has any -latiOu with the public Interests,
they would submit all their books and papers TO
the committee, but not otherwise. Mr. XII
bourne takes the additional ground that he
stands on the constitutional right guaranteed TO
every citizen not accused Of violating any law,
II being protected IN his personal hbctty and
property, and from unreasonable search Of his
private papers. The room was then cleared for
deliberatlon, with the exception Of counsel. II
was decided to report MIR. kilOourne's refusal to
answer to the House tomorrow, with excerpts
from the record showing the questions to which
he refused answers, aud accompanied with a

Nallncks.


That n comedy written hundred and
nfty years and more ago should be as fresh an .
seemingly as modern as though 1t were written
yesterday Is almost as great wonder as that on
which Mrs. Centivre founded her brilliant play.
But such treasures are worth preserving, for the
art Of writing them seems not to have come
down by inheritance to this generation.
The play is not unfamiliar to the frequenters
OF our theatres, though 1t is several years since
II has been produced. Ii was acted last even
ing TO charm, the principal characters being
personated by Mr.. Wallack. Mr.. Gilbert, Mr..
Beckett, Miss Dyas and Miss Maye.
But IN the minor parts there was that same
completeness and excellence IN their degree as
IN the leading ones, and new and handsome
dresses and scenery combined to give effect to
the entertainments The piece was PLAYED with
as much smootLncss and certainty as though II
had been running nifty nights, and with greater
spirit That three of Mrs. Centliyre's comedies,
"A Bold Stroke for Husband" " Inc Busy

the stage for 30 many years Is Of itself the sin
