81. Paul, June 1a~The elevator In
vestigation opened its morning session
with Witness Scott on tho rack. He
was under cross FIRE from Lawyer Sew.
erance, and went through severe
sweating process while he corrected and
changed his direct testimony.
Scott admitted several times that he
had told untruths when he was formerly
examined. Step by step he was led
along tho fatal admissions OF his direct
testimony until tho witness, becoming
desperate, cried out, vehementlY:.
II will not anewer these questions any
further, and want to say e: this COM
nittee right now that this matter should
not be gone into bocauno Il, concerns my
private affairs, and 10 not care 70
answer any fufthe9..s 80
This created q ripple of suppressed e.
citemsnt, and the appeal Of the witness
10 the committee occasioned some dis.
cussioa among tho members. MI. Bar
rett could not SEQ the use Of going
into the matter at greater length at this
time. Chairman 4iessel was inclined
to coincide with this view, but John
Day Smith insisted that tho witness who
had been brought before this committee
for the purpose of showing irregularity
and violations of the law on the part Of
certain citizens of the state should be
compelled to answer all questions put
to him. The question which Scott re-
fused to answer referred to his oonver-
sation with Mr.. Irons about tho reasons
why he wanted to leave, in fact was
compelled to leave, st. Paul.
Continuing his refusal the witness
was placed under arrest for contamnt.

THE POOR FARM AGAIN.

A new feature is added to the already
highly variegated Poor Farm record by
the announcement that the owner of the
Alexander farm has withdrawn the option
given the city. This is accompanied by a
reported assignment of reasons to the
effect that he has better offer for the
property and is tired of hearing charges
OF deals and jobs.
The rather doubtful proceeding of with
drawing an option presumably valid until
rejected or expires by limitation may
cause this declaration to be received with
ircredulity But it is not worth while to
discuss that phase of the question, as the
city is not interested in interposing any
obstacle to the withdrawal of the offer.
1t does not want the property. for three
reasons: It can get property just as eligi-
bly, located for less price per acre; its
utmost needs can be supplied with half
the amount Of land, and it is questionable
whether a proper arrangement with the
county poor authorities would not relieve
it OF the necessity of buying Poor Farm
at all
Let the offer he withdrawn. But that
course should not prevent Councils from
instituting an inquiry into the natural
phenomenon which makes property own
ers prefer to block a sale to the city by
asking 20 per cent more money than they
would gladly take from private pur-

EXPLOSIVES AS BAGGAGE.

The recent discoveries that some
economical individuals, with sublime
faith in the luck of the general public,
have been shipping giant powder through
the city in trunks as baggage is startling
illustration of the human disposition to
take big chances at the risk of others.
The idea might suggest itself that these
small but powerful packages of explosives
were intended to furnish warning to the
athletic baggage smashers from some vic
tim whose trunks have suffered from their
surplus vigor But the circumstances
show that the perilous stuff was shipped
in that way merely as method of finding
prompt and economical transportation,
with happy hope that no one would get
blown to pieces by the chances of the
operation.
If this thing keeps on remedial measures
will certainly be necessary. 1t even sug-
gests the necessity of personal inspection
of baggage at the railway station like that
which now greets the traveller who crosses
from one country to another.

WALL STREETS LAST DIVERSION.

The failure of New York broking firm
supposed to be of the highest standing,
brings out its usual accompaniment Of
rehypothecated securities, or, as an emil
nent financier terms it, "criminal borrow
ing" 1t is little early to determine the
exact facts in this case, which is reported
to be disaster caused by corn gambling
and aggravated by the use of securities in
the manner charged. Butinview of the fact
that nearly every Eastern failure has de-
veloped acts of more than questionable
honesty, it is interesting to inquire how
many such things are done successfully by
firms which do not break up.
The exposure of irregularities and un-
scrupulousness in business by failure is
incomplete and partial. Toilet exposure
and punishment fall only on those who
come to grief in the schemes they try to
carry out by such means is equivalent to
saying that the wrongdoing is in the lack
of smartness which permits such things to
be found out, rather than in the hazyideas
of meun7 and tuacm they illustrate. The
ultimate cause of these scandals is the
general theory of Wall street business that
the man who most successfully devises
means for transferring the property of
others to his own possession, without let-
ting the criminal law take cognizance of
it, is the greatest and most successful
financier When the operations that
made the Gould fortune create the greatest
power of Wall street, what wonder that
DINNER lights should continue the lesser
mistake of temporarily converting to their
own use the means of others, and meet
disaster by the ineXcusable crime of get
ting caught at it?

THE RIGHT WAY,

The prospect of an authoritative de-
termination of the charges of malfeasance
in the Allegheny City government is rem
Gered very definite by the commencement
of criminal proceedings against the Mayor
yesterday for extortion and embezzle-
ment
This is the only course possible to take
consistently with public honestly after the
charges had reached the definite form of
those already published. If such acts as
charged have been committed, the Grim.
inal Court is the place where the evidence
can be most conclusively produced and
the penalty most effectively imposed. If
the charges are unfounded, the trial OF
the case will most clearly vindicate the
accused official.
It is not prejudging the case to approve
Of this method of pushing it. 1t is simply
applaudIng the most convincing way OF
proving the guilt or innocence of public
official resting under grave charges.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.1
Boston is sensitive about her culture, as
Chicago is about her business prosperity. 1t
was therefore downright meanness on the
part Of NJ. de Scissors, the alleged French
nobleman, to strike Boston at her weakest
point and have all the best society welcom-
ing him to their. homes and going into
raptures over his art and literary criticism,
when he knew nothing about art or liter
ature and had never been in court circles
anywhere. II the alleged nobleman had
not exposed himself as q common forger
Boston would not have been so much hu-
INFLATED. 1t was a mean trick to play on
Boston.
He was only Frenchman from Montreal
He went to Boston nearly year ago. He
criticised Boston in a series of delightful
letters to the Transcript; he was also celeb
rity as a literary critic. He had Mrs. Ellis

and dined at the most exclusive establish :
ments at the Back Bay. He WAS a bachelor

men. He was lionized for months and then
had the bad grace to allow himself to be ex-
posed as common French Canadian, de-
pendent on his wife tor all his art and liter

were in pretending to be swell and in
playing Jim the Penman to perfection for q

THE GERRyMANDER sEE-sAw.

The point of view is admirably Illus
trated by remarks of Ohio's Republican
organ, the Columbus State Journal, on the
results of the Democrats capturing the
Legislature of New York. Our cotem-
porary thinks this would be ''a serious
blow to Republican interests in that
State" ''It will enable the Democrats, %
says our cotemporary, ''to redistrict the
State for Congressional and legislative
purposes in manner that only political
earthquake can shake off the power of
Borrbonism. 1t means the retirement of
Senator Hiscock and gerrymander that
will give our enemies the great bulk of
the representation in Congress"
The unscrupulous and desperate parti-
sanship which would lead Democrats to
gerrymander New York so that Repub.
licans would not have a fair. chance is
quite evident to the Republican organ.
Such things are wholly wrong when they
accrue to the political profit of the Demo-
cratic party. But the fact that if such a
gerrymander does take place it will be the
legitimate successor of a Republican
gerrymander, which has had exactly the
same effect in favor of the Republicans
for several years, does not impress itself
on the mind of our Ohio cotemporary as
worth mentioning
Gerrymanders are expressions of the
unscrupulousness of partisanship only a
little inferior to the other device, of which
much is now heard in New York, of
counting out enough candidates to secure
control of the Legislature But if New
York Democrats should have the power
to make gerrymander such as is fore.
shadowed it would come as nearly as any
gerrymander to the justification of the lea
fo11oa7as
