How Not to EcOn0mixa

The sincerity OF the men in the Legislature
who clamored before election for retreDch-
ment of State expenses has been put to the
test in many things, and in most things has
failed to meet the test. They have only sue
ceeded in showing how not to economize.
One of the most notable Illustrations Is af-
forded in the action taken In regard to the
State printing. The special committee on
printing, consisting of seven ''retrenchment
and reform" men and three Republicans, ad-
vertised for proposals to do the printing, The
invitation was open to all printers in the
State. Three bids were made, one by E. f.
Pillsbury & Co., one by George Mason, aud
one by Spraeue, Owen & Nash, Pillsbury's
bid being the highest and Sprague's the low
est. One would think that the contrac.
would be awarded to the lowest bidders with
out hesitation. That would be the course of
business men who had In mind the interests
of their firms, and it was naturally expected
penses would joyfully seize the opportunity
to cut down expenses some thousands of
dollars, and thus fulfill the promises so Law
ishly made during the political campaign.
WHAT did the committee do? The seven
'retrenchment and reform" men voted to ac-
cept the highest bid, the three Republicans
standing alone in the opinion that the
printing should be given to those
who would engage to do it for the
least money. That is, the majority of the
committee, ignoring the promises of retrench-
ment they had made, favored the giving of
the contract to Democrat, though he asked
a much higher price than the other bidders.
Mr.. Pillsbury had done good deal of work
for the Democratic party, some very dirty
work indeed, and he must be rewarded for
his zeal. For his patriotic services at Kings
field and elsewhere he should be given a
bonus of several thousand dollars from the
S ate treasury. That appears to be the reas-
oning by which the Democrats and Gre.n-
hackers reached their conclusion. The COM
mtlee reports were made to the House, and
a motion to substitute the minority for the
majority report, that is to take the lowest
bid instead of the highest, has failed to re-
ceive the support of the "retrenchment and
refoIm' majority. The opportunity to save
several thousand dollars to the State has
been rejected. So great an outcry has been
made against the shameful injustice of
the majority report that the House has not
dared to adopt that report but seeks to evade
responsibility by turning the matter over to
the Governor and Council.
IL remains to be seen whether the Govern
or and Council, providing they have the
chance to act on the matter, will be as faith
less TO their pledges as the legislative majori-
ty have been. Bot whatever the issue of the
discussion, the House has gone on record as
declining to reduce State expenses in di-
rection where thousands of dollars can be
legitimately and without hardship or fujus-
tice to any State interest, saved to the treas

THE CHICAGO CUSTOMHOUSE
SwindIe-NObOdy ReapensibIe-Andt the
Tax-PayeFs Must Grin and Bear
tt-rhe Jury wEs HOpeIessly
Befossed, and Reached 81
Lame Conclusion.

CHICAGO, June S.-The Times, after re-
viewing the customhouse cases, as presented
to the Federal jury, and the other we'll
known facts regarding the great frauds which
were committed during the construction of
the building, says, edltOrlaliy: The verdict
is that nobody was responsible; that nobody
was guilty; that no crime was comHitted;
but the facts remain; of which the unsightly
building itself is the monument, and which
were incOntestibly proved by the payment for
the stone in excess of the terms OF the con-
tract; by the payment for days of idling as
days Of labor, and by the various incidental
payments. The government was defrauded
ON the stone contracts to the amount of about
eight hundred thousand dollars. The only
rational conclusion seems to be that it IS no
crime to swlndle the government The moral
of it seems to be an invitation to big swind
ling of the government, because nobody can
be guilty when big swindlIng OF the govern
ment Is perpetrated."
The Tribune says: The fact remains that
the customhouse, as it stands, has cost one
million dollars more than 1t ought to have
cost. No jury of competent and impartial
architects, with sufficient time and opportu-
nifty to 60 over the building, thoroughly
make their estimates and ascertain what
contracts could be concluded, would fail to
report that at least that sum had been
souandered in excess of the legitimate cost of
the building. There seems to be nothing for
the tax payers to do in these cases but grin
and bear the outrageous frauds practiced
upon them, without the hope that the
guilty parties will be punished. 1t is certain
that the case has been sipgulariy numbered up
by that jury like any other outsider who en-
deavored to follow it must have been hope
lessly befogged, and that it had a most lame
and lmpotent conclusion which will not re-
dound to the credit either of the regular
prosecuting or the special counsel employed
by the government"

THE SAENGERFEST
At Cincinnati Promises to be the Grand
est Musical Affair Ever Witnessed
on this COntiusnC-LIberaIit
Of the Citizens-Grand
Preparations.

CINCINNATI, June 9.-Preparations for
the twenty-6rst festival of the North Ameri-
can Saengerfest, which is to be held in the
Music hall in this city, from June 11th to the
18th, give promise of very successful meet
ing. The chorus, made up of local German
singers and societies from Chicago, st. LOUIS,
Louisville, Cleveland, Buffalo, Indianapolis,
Columbus, Fort Wayne, Indiana; Hamilton,
Ohio; Lawrenceburg, Indiana; Milwaukee,
Youngstown, Ohio, and Omaha, will number
at least twelve hundred. The soloists are
Madame Otto Alvseben, Of the royal opera,
Dresden, who visits America expressly for
this occasion; Miss Josephine Yorke, of Carl
Rosa's English opera company; Miss Emma
Heckle, Miss Annie B. Norton, Mrs. Flora
Mueller and Miss Emma Cranch,
all of Cincinnati; Miss Helen Balateka, of
Chieago; Miss L. Frledeuheimer, of Louis
vile; Mr.. Byron w. Whitney, of Boston;
and Messrs. Bishop and Remmertz, Of New
York. The orchestra will number one hun
dred and nine pieces.
In compliance with change in the consti-
tuition of the bund, made in 1874, the chorus
will include female voices. The musical
province of the festival has thereby been
greatly widened, and the programme selected
Is remarkable for works of such magnitude
as Mendelssohn's ST. Paul, Verdi's Requiem
Mass. part of Rubenstein's Paradise Lost,
and scenes from Gade's Crusaders, and
Goldmark's Queen of ShebG. Besides these,
there will be selections for male choruses and
a number OF minor works by Hitler, Wagner,
Schumarn, Rubenstein, Raft, and composers
of less fame.
There will be four evening concerts, in
which the chorus VIII participate, and three
matinees of popular solo and orchestral mem
bers. The festival will conclude with mon
ster picnic on Sunday next. The total cost
of the affair will be not much short of fifty
thousand dollars, to secure which the citi-
zens of Cincinnati have subscribed one hun
bred thousand dollars to a guarantee fund.

mines are being opened daily. l saw at the

taing for three hundred miles from north to
south and directly west of Denver, are per-

and many companies from England, Scot
land and the eastern cities are engaged In
working these mines and own the majority
of them. Great fortunes have been made IN
very brief periods, and one citizen of Denver
has managed to reach an income of four
thousand dollars per day, who ten years ago
was as poor as a church mouse. But thou

toiling in the mountain gorges IN search OF
lead without one glimmer of the silver

manded, from his statement. He looked at

for consumptives, or persons with heart dis

THE JURY QUESTION
Before the House Judiciary Commit
tee Amendments Proposed by
Representative Herbert
The Case OF Minister
Seward.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The house judi
ciary committee this morning considered
Senator Bayard's bill, passed in the senate
on Friday last, entitled, 'Bill in relation to
juries and to repeal sections 801, 820, 821
and part Of 800 of the revised statutes of the
United States"
Representative Herbert submitted an
amendment which provides that in the Sc
lection of juries, grand and petit, the clerk
and commissioner shall in no wise have re-
gard to political affiliations, but shall look
solely to the qualifications prescribed by law.
Citizens possessing all other qualifications
which are or may be prescribed by law, shall
be competent to serve as grand or petit
jurors, without regard to race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude; but no officer or
employe of the United States or of any State
shall be competent to serve.

ex anime into the articles of impeachment
against G. T. Seward, United States minister
to China, Messrs. New, House, Ryan, NJ Kin
ney and Williams Wis., 1t is not likely that
any report will be made during the present
