THE Worlds Columbian commission
ers from the state of Wisconsin have is
sued an address to the citizens of the
state asking support of the bill appro-
priating S250,000 for the states repre-
septation at the Worlds Fair. They
claim creditable showing, worthy of
the state. cannot be made for less, and
that the benefits accruing to proper
exhibit of the states industries and re-
sources will more than recompense the
outlay. This is undoubtedly true and
stinginess should not prevail where so
much is at stake. A shabby showing
viii bring the blush of shame TO every
citizen attending the fair, when every
state of equal Importance will have an
exhibit costing about the sum asked.
The commission cite the paltry appro-
priation made for the Centennial and
the beggerly building there erected; but
the case is hardly parallel, Wisconsin
wealth and pretentions are fourfold
now, and the Worlds Fair is right at
her door. More is expected of an adj
Joining state thar of one thousand
miles away, even though the affair is a
National one Ii will not do for Wis
consin to be behind her class, and all
citizens should use their utmost influ-
ence to promote the desired legislation.
Whatever is done must be done by this
legislature, as the formal opening of the
6sir takes place in October 1892, and
the next Legislature does not meet till
January 1913.

MILFORD Feb. 27.--The shirt factory has
been moved and is now in operation at the
armory, the managers having gotten every
thing IN good order The machines are
now run by steam power ana is a great re-
lief to the women operators. Strawbridge
& Clothier expect to erect n building be-
tween this and fall for their permanent
mandatory which will, when completed
and in full operation employ about 900
hands. The present outlook for Milford is
bright. Should she be fortunate to get the
much talked of water works, manufactor-
les could easily be induced To locate here
"A wooden mill from one of our large east
ern cities could he induced to locate here if
sufficient protection from fire could be
offered
The ice plant for the artificial manufac-
ture of ice is now almost assured as the
gentlemen who are at the head of the pro-
iect are deeply interested in the same and
will no doubt push the matter as fast as
possible.
Postmaster Thomas has had letter box
placed at the corner of Front and Church
streets, North Milford, for the accommo-
dation of the citizens iii the western sec
ton of the town.
MILFORD, March 3.-The new Ma
tional Hotel was opened yesterday for
the reception of transient trade after
undergoing complete repairs.
The town election was held yesterday,
and probably for the first time in the
history of the town there was no oppo-
sition TO the ticket nominated by the
citizens meeting. Probably one reason
why there was no "black cat tickets in
the field was that n resolution was
passed at the Saturday night meeting to
the effect that the town would pay for
but one set of tickets. Heretofore they
have been paying for several sets and
this fact no doubt kept private indi-
viduals from ordering stickers.
The judge of the election was Alder
man Cullen and the tellers were John
o. Truitt and Jacob G. Wilson. There
was but 80 ballots cast and the result
was as follows For alderman, Philip
5, Graham, 81; for assessor, Robert ii.
Davis, 81; Hiram Gray, 1; for collector
and treasurer, James IL. Truitt, So;
Daniel Purnell, 1; for presidents coun-
ell, Robert II. Williams, 80; councilmen

A more horrid piece of legal butchery
than the hanging of the negro West, at
Washington, Pa, Thursday, was never
recorded. The condemned man made
an attempt to commit suicide, during
the morning, by sticking nail into his
throat, but was discovered in time to
save his life. But the loss of blood,
combined with paralysis from which
he suffered, put him into stupor from
which he did not arouse until $50
o'clock in the afternoon. AS his legs
were completely paralyzed he could not
stand up, so it was decided to strap him
to board, but he struggled SO tlercely
that chloroform was administered to
quiet him. Then he was securely
strapped and after recovering was
carried to the gallows on stretcher.
The first attempt to hang him resulted
in the breaking of the rope, and the
body fell to the ground, to the great
horror of the spectators. The second
attempt proved successful and he was
strangled to death. There have been
summary lynchings in the lawless sec
tons of the west and south that were not
nearly so revolving in their details as
this legal execution in the presumably
civilized commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t was a disgrace to the state.
Older readers will remember Arson
II. Burllngame, the man who challenged
Preston S. Brooks, because Brooks had
caned Charles Sumner, to a duel which
never came off because Burlingame
would not fight in the United States and
Brooks would not fight out of the
United States. Burlingame was sent TO
China, as American minister, by Presi-
dent Lincoln, where he so impressed
the Chinese that they in turn, years
after, sent him back as envoy extra
ordinary or something of the kind in
charge of delegation of mandarins on
an important mission TO the United
States. Having transacted this business
to the satisfaction of his new employers,
Burlingame returned to China and spent
the rest of his life there high in official
favor Possibly some such fortune may
be in store for Mr.. Blair He has not
been appreciated in his native land, but
he may find his educational bill an ex-
cellent passport Of favor and fame in
the Central Flowery Kingdom.

rhe stnte,s Financial Muaale.


furore over the finances of Delaware,
arising out of the hitch in the financial
settlement between ex-Treasurer Her
bert and his successor, Treasurer
Burnite.
Coming down to bare statement of
facts, the situation is this: Treasurer
Herbert, according to his own admis-
sion, has yet to pay over to his success
Dor the sum of $34, ARTS. He expresses
his complete ability to meet this obliga-
ton, and says that settlement in full
will be made in very short time. In
extenuation, he urges that as Treasurer
8urnite did not bond until nearly the
md of January, it was not at all I'M
reasonable to ask for five or six weeks
N which to arrange for settlement and
yHect transfer. As to the causes that
led to the delay in the settlement, Mr..
Herbert refuses TO speak at present, adj
ding that when the proper time comes
he will make full explanation.
OF course, it would have been far
better had Mr.. Herbert been in condi-
ton to turn over the last dollar Of the
States money to his successor without
the delay of an hour, but there is moth
ing in the situation to give rise to fear
hat there has been any official dis
,onesty, or that the State will lose a
Jenny in the transaction. The late
reasurer is fully able to pay out of his
,wn pocket the sum yet due to his sue
lessor, to say nothing of the additional
security Of his official bond. He exhi-
bited in this office, to-day, personal
securities Of undoubted financial sound
oess, held by him, worth nearly double
,he amount he has yet to pay TO
Treasurer Burnite. So the State is per-
ectly secure and there will be no defal-
.ation.
The most surprising feature of the
affair is the revelation that securities of
the State, amounting in value to over
half million dollars, are missing and
probably have not been in the custody
of any State Treasurer for a score or
more of years. Tho missing assets con-
