POLK In PRISON.
He Declares that He Did Not Intend
to Rob the State, but to Spare
His Friends.
Especial to the New York World. ]

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 13.-Col.
NJ. Il. Polk, the defaulting state
treasurer, arrived here to-day accom-
panied by United States Marshal Cos
ling and Folks son. There was large
mob at the station, and it was with
difficulty that he was conveyed to a
carriage and to Jail. To a reporter
Polk said he had no extended state
ment to make for publication, prior
to his appearance before the COM
mittee.
q contemplated when 1 left" he
said, "to return every cent owed the
state, and expected to raise the
amount in Mexico. Ny intentions
were not to rob the state, but to spare
my friends and make good my short
age at the earliest day possible. The
only truth that was telegraphed to
Nashville papers during my fight was
that 1 was captured and recaptured."
He declined to state explicitly
wherein the kilograms were untrue,
saying he had no further statement to
make.
Mr.. Knox Polk said that his fathers
motive in going to Mexico had been
misunderstood from the first. He
had started there to look after his
mining interests. Then the hue and
cry that he was a defaulter was raised,
and he found himself pursued by Off
GERS before he realized what was the
matter. He declared that the man.
ner and time of his father leaving
here showed that he contemplated no
fraud. eff my father had intended to
defraud the state" the young man
continued, "he would have fed sooner.
/ believe that when the affairs of the
treasury are thoroughly investigated
he will be found in arrears only for a
small amount, which he can easily
make up"
He did not believe his father drew
a pistol on the officer who attempted
to arrest him at Webb station, Texas,
as he was not the kind of a man to
draw a weapon unless he intended to
use it.
Marshal Costing denies that Polk
has been indulging in liquor since his
capture, and says that Polk made no
statement to him to the effect that he
had revelations to make that would
compromise high officials. Costing

DAVID A. WELLS thinks the enor-
nous provision which has been made
for pensions, combined with the des-
perate haste with which we insist on
paying off debt bearing 3 per cent
interest, with money taken from peo-
pie to whom it is worth 6 per cent,
make it absolutely certain that the
revenue derived from internal taxa
ton cannot be all dispensed with, un-
less we tax tea and coffee, and probably
not even then. "Now," he says, "tea
and coffee are as legitimate a subject
for taxation as sugar; indeed, much
more so, for they are not materials for
manufacture, as sugar is. But surely
whisky and tobacco are at least as
proper subjects for taxation. And
what will the temperate part of our
people say, and justly say, if we re-
lieve whisky and tobacco from taxes,
only to tax tea and coffee .?
Such proposition Is a slap in
the face to temperance men and
women all over the country; and it
is proposed thus to insult them, with
out even being asked or desired to do
so by a single liquor dealer in the
land. 1t is proposition to make a
million enemies and not one friend.
Let the protectionists do this to their
hearts content. We desire no better
issue before the people. But do not
let any revenue reformer be caught in
such an absurd position"

STATISTICS show that the abolition
of capital punishment in murder cases
works as badly in Maine as in Michi-
gan. In 1870, the eonviets undergoing
life-imprisonment for murder were 6
per cent of the whole number; in 1876,
10 per cent; in 1882, 20 per cent. Nearly
forty men are now in prison under
this sentence, and the number bids
fair to go on growing. With every
increase, the moral effect of the pun
ishment is diminished, for crime, like
every other sort of misery, likes COM
partnership to keep it in countenance
On this subject the Philadelphia Amer
lean observes at is rather curious
that, with the decline of the belief in
everlasting punishment in the future
life, grows the unwillingness to pass
the worst criminals on to what peo-
pie now profess to regard as another
stage of probation. Is it because peo-
pie doubt the validity of their own
reasoning, that, like Voltaire and Di-
derot, they feel no certainty that there
is no endless hell. and therefore in
cline to act as though there were one
Or is it that both the disbelief in hell
and the disuse of capital punishment
have the same root - more vivid ap-
probation of physical suffering than
of moral degradation"

THERE appears to be no reaction in
New York up to this date. The Buff
falo Courier remarks of the late Ell, c.
ton to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the election of Grover Cleveland gov
ernor:
The special election held yesterday
for the purpose of choosing mayor
to fill the vacancy caused by the cleo
ton of the Hon. Grover Cleveland as
governor of the great state of New
York, resulted in another magnificent
victory for the Democratic party. The
election did not excite any very great
amount of enthusiasm, yet at the va
rious polling places could be seen
at all hours of the day earnest
Democrats doing good work for their
candidate, the Hon. John B. Manning.
On the other hand, the supporters of
Aid. r. II. Hefford were early dis
heartened, and hours before the polls
closed admitted the election of Mr..
Manning. But no one imagined that
the victory would be so sweeping OF
the majority so large. The total vote
cast was 1887, a much larger number
than most people anticipated. OF this
number Mr.. Manning received 11,036
and Aid. Hefford 1921, giving our can
didate the large and magnificent ma
Jority of 3715.

says, however, that Polk intimated
some such thing in a moment of ex-
citement, and that he alluded to GER
tain transactions by which the de-
cision of the supreme court on the
"lOO-3" case was known in London
and in the United States three or four
days before the decision was an
nounced in open court.
The marshal says that before he
started to return with Polk he pro-
missed the latter down on the bank of
the river that his every wish should
be respected and faithfully carried
out. and everything possible has been
done for his comfort. convenience and
ease. His wish that no newspaper re-
porters should be allowed to intrude
upon him has also been carried out as
far as possible.
Polk looks quite worn out by the
excitement and long journey. He APP
pears older and thinner than when he
left, and there is a sad, almost pitiable,

ing with the friends of other
and happier days, and in exchanging
few words with reporters spoke al
most in a whisper. His son showed
plainly that he felt the disgrace.
The jury this afternoon indicted
Polk for enlightenment. Judge Quar-
les then called the grand jury before
him and gave instructions to indict
all persons who received money from
Polk knowing that it belonged to the
state. Attorney General Washington
was also instructed to sift the matter
to the bottom.
Polk was assigned to a cell in the
Jail, which had been carpeted and
made as comfortable as possible. A
few friends were received. 1t is un
derstood that application for bail will
not be made for few days.

CITIZENS of San Antonio talk of
comforting with Hon. r. B. Hubbard
and Mr.. Paramore in relation to Sc
curing the Texas and st. Louis mar
row gauge railway. Such a matter
should also be occupying the atten-
ton of the people of Austin. The
capital city should be placed in con-
nection with this great trunk line
from TIE northern lakes into Mexico,
and finally to the Pacific ocean, thus
giving the advantage of cheap trans
portation over this line, which
voluntarily reduced passenger fare
to three cents per mile in
advance of any legislation in this
state upon the subject of passenger
tariffs. Austin needs the road and its
people should use their influence in
securing it. This railway could prob
ably make most advantageous trans
portation contracts, extending
through term of years,
and were it built to Austin at an
early day it would be able to at once
do large business for the capitol
syndicate. The connection in Arkan-
sas is soon to be made, and then the
Texas and st. Louis will have con-
tinuous line from st. Louis to Waco.
Therefore the managers of this
road are now turning their attention
westward. The probability is that
they will push the line in that direc-
ton with vim equal to the manner
in which they have made the eastern
connection. Now, then, is the time
for the people of Austin to have a
word to say about securing this road.

TYLER, Jan. 17.-In the federal
court yesterday an interesting case
was decided in regard to selling
whisky without license. 1t seems
that one Wedgeworth, Of Shelby
county, was arrested on the COM
plant of man named johnson for
selling whisky to woman, and it
was conclusively proven that Wedge
worth did not sell the whiskey, but
had some in his cellar and gave
her some. The complaint was filed
on these grounds. Wedgeworth was
defended by w. A. Spirey, of Hender-
son, in very able manner, and the
jury after few minutes brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
