4 CHAPTER ON GRAsPERs.

State Controller Hallock is fitting re-
-buke to the hoggishness which is char
acteristic of most of the men who serve
their country in the Legislature. King
demanded $125 for extra services as
pro tenn President of the Senate and a
bill was passed to pay the money. The
State. Controller very properly refused
to issue the warrant and suit was
brought by King, the costs of which he
now has to pay. Senator Hammond
spent most of his time in New York
during the session and should not have
been allowed to draw full pay. Nearly
every clerk got bill through for extra
compensation. They drew full pay for
six weeks of idleness and when COM
PEELED to work few extra hours during
the last two weeks Of the session wer.
allowed extra pay by Democratic leg
islation representing party which a
few months before were bowling for
economy in State expenditures. One
of the clerks sold his weeks pay to
three different persons by giving them
orders on the controller and then drew
the money day ahead, beating the
three persons who had loaned HIM
money, out of $50 each. One man drew
pay for his deputies and left the city
with the money belonging to them.
A circus recently visited Patterson,
N. Y. The town is manufacturing
one, a large majority of the inhabitants
being mechanics. When the circus
arrived it created the profoundest popu-
lar sensation, and everybody announced
his intention to attend. 1t was in vain
that the mills rang their bells; less than
five per cent. of their hands were in
attendance, and all work for the day
had to be suspended The cost Of the
days fun is estimated at $4,000, di-
vided as follows: Manufacturers, loss
from the closing Of mills, sl5,OOO; work.
ingmen, loss Of wages, $25, 900; cost Of
circus tickets, $4,000.
There are half dozen blooming,
plump and pretty women who hang
around the Senate daily. Just what
their business is has never been dis
closed, except perhaps to some of the
hn:, int ,p-
they whispher. Theya are not lobbyists,
for there is nothing to lobby for just
now.- 1t is a sort of mania these fe-
males are afflicted with. They like
people to see them talking with Sena-
tors. They sit in the galleries and ex-
press silent admiration for member.
More than one Of the Senators hsSe
complained of the opportunities Of these
women, and have forbidden their caris
to he brought to them. The women are
irrepressible, not bad.-( Philadelphia

i. The Aldermen Of Toronto are auda-
cious in their knavery. They have ap-
propriated $500 out of the city treas
ury for the purpose Of providing 'speci-
men blocks' of pavement, and the sites
designated for this paving are all in
front of property owned by Aldermen
or other Ring officials.
George Gorham has got better thing
now than the Secretaryship. He has
