A Personal Statement to the Pub lie.

A Personal Statement to the Pub lie.
Upon testimony belived to be conclusive,
and my own responsibility, addressed Mr..
James E. Campbell letter and published it
in the editorial columns of the CONNER cial
Gazette, stating had the proof that he had
secured money interest in the ballot-bo K
on behalf of which, as a member of the
House of Representatives, he had introduced
bill, and upon his denial caused to be en-
graved and published what pur. orted to be a
fac simile of his signature appended to pa
per subscribing for three-twentieths of the
interest in the ballot-box job. In yesterdays
paper made the announcement that the or
iginal documents were in my possession.
They consist of Mr.. Campbell's original bill,
the contract numbered 1000, and the SUBJ
scription paper to which names are written,
beginning with that of Mr.. Campbell, as has
been represented.
Testimony was placed before me last night
proving that the names, including that of
Mr.. Campbell, are, with two exceptions,
traced from detached signatures, and are
substantially forgeries. The exceptions were
written without a copy. That there may be
no shade of doubt upon my exact meaning, I
have to say that Mr.. Campbell's signature as
it has been used, is fraudulent. The proof
of this came TO me in conclusive form at a
late hour, and it is my duty at once to de-
clare the truth. This leaves Mr.. Campbell
where the governor left him with the bollot-
box bill, in his Music Hall speech. The pa
pers that seemed to show the business behind
the bill, are as published, but the signatures,
of which have given that of the author of
the bill are fabricated. M. HALsTEAD.

VINO can be better judge of the value
Of house than the man who owns the
houseY Can an insurance agent estimate
IL more correctly or will he estimate more
honestly than the ownerY Surely not, is
the ready answer to the latter question.
The bill Of Senator Richardson assumes
that man is not good judge Of the
value Of his own house till it shall have
been destroyed by fire; that the insur-
ance agent is fair Judge of
the value of house before
a fire and an unfair judge after fire.
Granting that there are frequent under-
valuations by the adjusters Of the insur-
ance companies, will the bill proposed by
Senator Richardson remedy the evils?
The tests Of the valued policy law shows
that the evils are not corrected; that In
surance is dearer; that arson is more
prevalent. That the evils of the other
kinds are greater than those the law at
tempts to cure. II should not
be the policy for the state to
become the guardian Of every
citizen and to attempt to barter
and bargain for him in every possible
transaction. IL any insurance company
should make dishonest settlements the
state laws are already sufficient to pre-
vent such a company from doing business
in the state. That is reasonable and
sensible protection. The protection pro-
posed by Senator Richardson is a
specious fallacy which promises what it
cannot give. The man who makes the
contract with the insurance company
should be competent to take care Of him
self or he should pay his attorney to see
that he makes good contract. If he is
not competent to do that the state cannot
possibly assist him otherwise than by
keeping dishonest companies out Of the
state.

what wonder that beautiful and clever
society woman should be strongly tempted to
become an actressq' said young lady recently
to The HAN About Town. "Look what they
have to gain Fortune, fame, a world wide

freedom from the monotonous round Of social
duties | don't believe men can appreciate
the fascination which the stage possesses for
women. They take to it naturally It APP
peals to their emotional and artistic natures.
Hasn't it been said that all women are actors
OF is it something strongerl The fact is,
whether it has ever been announced by a
famous parsonage or not, that the feminine
sensibilities make them far more appreciative
of the mimic portrayals Of human emotion
than men can ever become, and this appre-
citation Of acting is what makes great actors.
When one considers this natural inborn love
for the stage, it is only a wonder that so few
indulge it TO the extent Of following Mary

ONE Of the most disgraceful NANTES.
tations Of the spirit Of the Knights Of
Labor is the attempt TO abolish steam
presses from the Bureau Of Engraving.
A committee appeared in the House Of
Representatives and among other things
they asserted that the steam printing
presses did inferior work to the hand
presses. The committee said that "no
expert with-any regard for his reputation
will hesitate to pronounce the work done
by said presses asinferior." Being put to
the'test, however, with eleven bills they
began some wild guessing and were able
to distinguish the profess Of only three

printing and retired to their own chagrin

AS the sun draws the mist

Reeled and swooned like drunken man
