THAT LITTLE BOOK"

Some very interesting information OBJ
tanned from thoroughly Trustworthy
source--How the "Republican Print
| ing company" managed to get so
much money for 30 little work.
The Charleston Neaos and Couri-
er contains the following telegram,
dated Columbia, May 25:
1t will be of great interest to tho
readers of The Ncaos anG Courier
to have an insight into the contonts
of the now famous 'tLittle Book"
which was handed to the White
more and Woodruff investigating
committee to-day by tho attorney Of
MIR. McCay, in whose possession it
has been for the past week or ten
days. The book, in the first place,
is transcript of the accounts of tho
Republican Printing Company, of
which Woodruff and Jones were the
bosses, showing the amounts of
money paid in bribes for services
rendered by tho members of ii he
House and Senate in securing tho
passage through the General Assem-
bly, of an appropriation of $225,O0O
for public printing in the session Of
1894. The whole amount paid
in such bribes aggregates about
sinty thousand dollars. A few por.
sons, reported to be Democrats,
figure in tho mystic pages; but
they were not members of the Gen.
eral Assembly, and only received
small sums
The amonnt paid Cardozo, "for
paying out the money FROM the
treasury" was, as the Little Book
shows, $17,eGG.
The amount paid Ex-Governor
Moses, "for approving the BILL" was
$10,304 50.
The amount paid Nash, ssfor scr.
vices in the Senate and as chairman
of the finance committee" was
$4,000.
Tho amount paid Whittemore
and Y. j. p. Owens, ''for services in
the Senate" was $4,000 each.
Tho amount paid Tim Hurley, for
services that can better be imagined
than described, was $500.
E. w. NJ. Mackey, it appears, rea
ceived about $1,000, "for important
services"
The books contains n large NUNS.
Der of other entries of other,
amounts paid out to members, rum
ming down as low as $25, which
make up the grand aggregate.
If the Investigating committee,
having now this valuable Little
Book in their possession, will get
tho checks upon which the money
was paid, they will have oil the
evidence they require. The book
itself might seem to give no moro
than presumption of guilt, but
the committee have witness who
can testify to the correctness of the
entries, and can verify the payments,
This transcript of the books of the
Republican Printing Company was
made by W. II. Jackson, tho clerk
of tho company; 80 it will only
need his testimony to bring the
rascality right home to Woodruff
and tho whole corrupt crew. This
valuable witness was in the city O
few days ago, but the report is that
he has been spirited out of the way.
The committee, however, do not
intend to bo balked by the impudent
shifts of the knaves, and will take
measures to bring Jackson before
them at once.

AB0LIsHlNG THE CITY sEALER.


CHICAGO, April IA few days ago saw an ar
tce in one of the papers to the effect that it is pro.
posed to abolish the office Of City Sealer. This
notion would certainly, to say the least be unwise
and would be Offering premium on swindlins and
rasca1ity among dealers, know not, nor do care,
who holds the Office 10 long as he is honest and
com petent, for IN honest and competent man in
that place will protect the public against the avarice
Of dishonest dealers. Possessing these qualities,
he will not be in league with the great number OF
INSCRIPTIONS tradcsmen he may meet in the course
of his duty. Some time ago the otlice OF Fish In
spector was abolished for some unknown reason,
unless it was behalf OF dealers who prefer Civ
ing customers stones for fish, with lots OF bad
fish thrown in. 1t opened wide the door to fraud.
Weight and quality Of the fish now sold are very
different from what they were when inspection
was the rule. No sooner will it be known TINT
there il no longer City Scaler, and no one to
swatch the sclles," than dishonest dealers will
take advantage OF the omission. with shameful rc-
cults to the interests Of the public, and to the in
tercsts Of the Door particularly, whose limited
means are already sufficiently drawn upon without
having to pay full prices for half measures and
short weights. Ne are row obliged to submit to
adultcrntion OF goods; 1t would be fnt1icting m
unnecessary hardship to tAke light weight besides.
Are we to be deprived OF the only safeguard that
now exists against fraudulent deuliug? Please lend
your influence against the abolition Of the Office
OF City Sealer and thus help protect the eoInmnn-
ity against sharkish dealers. who are already
chuckling over the prospect before them.
