A sensation was caused in the Massachu-
sets legislature, Wednesday, by a message
from Gov. Butler vetong the bill making ap-
preparations to the amount of S475,O 600 for
the expenses of charitable and reformatory
institutions. The governor says the bill con-
tains some appropriations which are objec-
tionable and some which are not, and it is a
continuation of the vicious practice of unit
ing in one bill different appropriations for
diverse objects The governor estimates the
appropriation in the bill for salaries at 90 per
cent. of the amount to be expended for the
maintenance of the institutions, and thinks
that too much of the states money is being
frittered away in small salaries.

The California legislature has passed law
providing for new course of procedure in
murder trials where the plea of insanity is
set up by the defense, which will undoubted-
ly abridge perceptbly the number of murder
GUS lunatics in the state. The accused is to
be first examined for insanity, and if proved
sane he shall be tried for murder and the in
sane plea shall be considered an aggravation
of the ofTense. If adjudged insane, he goes
to an asylum for life, and cannot be released
unless his sanity at the time of the murder is
proved, when he is to be released and tried
for murder. Thus the murderer stands a fair
chance of getting his deserts on whichever
horn of the dilemma he may elect to hang
1t would not be amiss for other states to pat
tern after California in respect to this statute

The William Penn cottage occupies o site

The building, not that It has been fully

The Baltimore papers comment various
~ on the recent election in that city. The
American. says that Heiskell, Democratic
and Citizens candidate for Mayor, received
10000 Republican and e,OO0 Democratic
votes, while Latrobe, for the same office,
received $4,000 Democratic and 5000 Re-
publican votes, to which latter he owes his
election. The American speaks OF q IRE

Some Of the wards heretofore run by Bosses

which gives a good deal Of satisfaction, but

Itwould be interesting to know how 1t
happened that 5000 Republicans voted for
and elected the Democratic ring candidate
for Mayor. 1t is charged, though not by
the American, that Democratic expendi'
lures were never so lavish, that corruption
was resorted to and accomplished its work.
Perhaps this is true. There is q State cam
paign in progress, and the result in the
city was Of moment to the Democratic
ring Of the State from that point Of view.
The city Bosses knew that 1t was for them
a life or death struggle, and they went in
to win. It is not improbable that there
were Republicans ready to sell to the high
est bidder.
Butthere is another phase OF the ques.
ton, which has presented itself before in
similar contests. There YVES no Republi.
can in the field. 1t was really a choice be.
tween Democrats, personal appeals were
made by the friends Of Latrobe, the ring
candidate, and as no party principle was
involved the personal appeals were not
without effect. The principle OF good
local government was involved, butthere
were Republicans who preferred to trust
the straight-out Democratic candidate.
Since the Citizens' ticket had to look to
the Republican party for the bulk oil Its
support 1t might have been better to take
the candidate for Mayor from that party.
