The Doyle-Munthe investigation
reveals that Doyle had a conversa-
ton before the Ironwood committee
and promised to put the charter
through the house. The members
of the committee agreed among
themselves that Doyle ought to be
paid for his services. Money was
voted for this purpose and was sent
to Munthe secretly and in an under
handed manner and was given to
Doyle by Munthe. Doyle accepted
the money without asking any ques-
tons as to where it came from. 1t is
case of boodleism pure and simple
yet it's dollars to apples that the
case will be whitewashed.-Courier

him. The Democrats can not spare
him, so they will not inquire into

order an investigation, and so Frid-

Let one man Of several, having
money or credit, put their means to-
gether, and build factory, fit it
with machinery, lay in a stock of
what is known as "raw MATERIAL"
and then employ lot of men at re-
munerative wages, to work up this
raw material into some useful article
of commerce, and straightway we
find lot of theorists who have
failed to be useful to their fellow
men, reading their employers out of
human fellowship as it were, and de-
claring them to be no part of the peo-
pie of the country. 1t may be that
these very employers began life in
lumber camps or in the mills, and by
superior skill and industry worked
their way up to position where
they could be of more use to their
fellows. But this makes no differ
ence to the bowling disturber who
assumes that he and his like are the
real people of this country. Again

wishing TO make that money earn
something, form company, secure
the right of way and build line of
railroad. They stock it with cars
land locomotives and transport pas
|songers and freight along their line,
and give employment to large num-
bier of men, at higher wages than are
bald in the usual avocations of life.
They are also large consumers of the
products of the country, yet by this
risk and enterprise these men have
ceased to be part of the people, ac-
bording to the same theorists. Is 1t

The bill introduced into the legis-
lature some time ago providing for
a Uniform series Of text books the
same to be published by the state,
and which after the passage of both
houses was sent to the governor for
his approval was returned last week
without it. In his objections the
governor gives some very pertinent
reasons for his action. lie cites the
opinion Of the State Superintendent
of California who says that after
four years trial in that state of the
publication of school books by the
state he has come to the conclusion
that better books can be bought
cheaper at wholesale prices. He
does not approve of the bill because
of the destruction of a large amount
of property now invested in school
books in use in the state and also be-
cause while the ostensible object is
uniformity cities of 1000 and over
are excepted from its provisions. A
further objection is found in the sec
ton providing that in case the state
is unable to furnish books cheaper
than they can be bought it may con
tract with the lowest bidder. This
affords an opportunity for undue
Influence and should not be encour-
aged.

Tic Levy Court OF New Castle Coun-
ty Is now doing what should have
been done many years ago Il has
agreed TO pay of the sheriff and other
county officials quarterly instead of
letting the whole thing go over In a
samLled mass to the end OF the year.
4his will be great convenience to the
kiaeriff and Clerk OF the Peace who are
compelled to draw upon their personal
iiseans TO pay tie expenses OF their de-
partments fora whole year before set
tlcment Is made. The old system has
been especially hard upon the Clerk OF
the Feaco who has several deputies lie
has to pay by tho week for copying tax
duplicates and other pressing work.
The Sheriff too has been subjected to
a considerable outlay of money for the
feed OF prisoners, as those who furnish
tho feed cannot lay out of their money
tor Gwhole year. Quarterly payments
wall relieve all this and he tess trouble
" the Levy Court.
Another very important reform has
been inaueurated by the Court In the
matter OF furnishing supplies such rs
are needed by the several county Of
ticiRls In the Court House. Heretofore
It seems to have been in order for every
county official to order supplies as he
sasw proper, where he saw proper, when
ne pleased and at what price he pleased.
The plan proposed by the present Levy
Court is that committee OF the Court
shall take the matter in charge, see
what is needed, and order the same OIL
give orders for supplies, and to refuse
TO pey bills Other wise contracted.
This action was suggested by the
estonishingly large bills rolled up
form stationery. A member OF tho
Levy Court said to u representative Of
the REPUBLICAN, day or two ago,
why. would you believe it, bill cam,

sounds like an extraordinarily large
one at one time. But whether few OF
many steel pens are needed, or
whether clerks are to be provided with

Court proposes to have something t.
say about 1t and if we are not mis-
taken the taxpayers of the count,

Hermann Chieinski, q demented Ger.
man, succeeded In making his escape
from the State Insane Hospital at Farm.
hurst yesterday afternoon or evening.
On January 10, Chieinski, who Is an
upholsterer and resided at No. 116 East
Second street, made an attempt to kill
his wife, and would probably have sue,
ceeded had IL not been for tho timely
arrival OF Special Officer Burroughs.
The man had been acting strange for
several days, and on the above date
went out Immediately after breakfast.
he returned in short time, and after
going up stairs called to his wife, say.
ing that he wanted her to pray with
him, MS he was sick. When the woman
went up TO his room he drew revolver
and tried to shoot her. The weapon
was seized by the wife, and during the
struggle 1t exploded, lnliicting u flesh
wound in her hand.
Ohicer Burroughs took the man to
the police station, where, at a hearing
before Judge Ball the next morning,
he was committed in default OF $1,000
bail to answer ut court. After being
confined about two weeks he was pro.
nounced insane and sent to the hospi-
tai. He improved under the treat
ment, and was permitted to return to
his home. LII short time he again
became violent and was sent back to
the hospital, where he remained until
his escape yesterday.
