CONGRESSMAN MILLS, though he is an ar

A PENNSYLVANIA legislative committee
his this week been overhauling the auditor.
general and treasurer of the state for their
connection with the Bsrdsley robbery.
They OF course denied any com ty or
knowledge of his doings, and claim to have
pressed him TO pay over money collected, but
to have been put of with one excuse or
another. But lot of correspondence has
been produced full Of illusions indicating that
they, or the treasurer, at least, knew what
was up. They certainly knew that he was
getting Illegal interest on bank deposits. The
payment of rebates from mercantile appraise-
ment to Bardsley and his division with thu
state officers is hinted at. 1t was only as the
explosion drew near that any signs Of anxt
ETY. to get money from him appear. The
simple truth Is that Pennsylvania and Phila.
del ohia Government have for wears been an
organized system of thievery. Very few of
the men who have been In control Of politics
aras free from guilt. The only thing for
Pennsylvania to do a to clean out the whole
lot. Bardsey, while limiting that others who
have now gone back on him are involved,
refuses to say anything definite. But the
whole truth Is sure to come out.

THE Republican State committee of Ohio
has sent circular to every department en-
pIoye of the federal government at Washing
ton, calling for contribution to help elect
Mckinley. Among its sentences are these
"You are the incumbent of place made posi-
BILE by the success of the party in the past"
"We will be pleased to hear from you at
once" This call has been followed up with
the appearance of Judge Lawry. an ex-office
holder, on the ground to make the demand
personally. He says he believes that ''every
man who holds place under the govern
ment ought to contribute to the legitimate
expenses of his party" And yet sundry Re-
publican conventions this year have had the
impudence to congratulate the administration
on the progress Of civil service reform.
These things II they were done at all under
Cleveland had to be done secretly.

THE New York campaign opens with tn,
enthusiasm and confidence mainly on the sldt
OF the Republicans, and pretty general de
moral1zation among the Democrats. 1t is 9
remarkable change from the situation only 6
few weeks ago when the Republican prospect
seemed SO hopeless that long hunt had to
be organized to find any one who would &C.
cepr the nomination. And the worst of It IA
that 1t is the Democrats themselves who
have brought 1t about. The abasement of
the state convention before Tammany, whose
open bolt gave the Democrats their last de.
feat In state campaign, to say nothing of all
Its other record, Is of Itself an immense fac.
tor Of disgust and dso-ganization. Lieut..
Gov. Jones, who has considerable popularity
In the rural districts, announces over his own
signature that he will do all he can to defeat
the ticket. The labor men and the farmers
will make no nominations of their own, but
they will provide paster ballot which will
be printed and sent all over the state. 1t was
Hill, and Sheehan and Tammany that insist.
ed on the paster provision in the ballot re-
form bill, and If the paster results In their
undoing 1t will be a righteous retribution,
SO far as they are concerned. What appears
to be formidable bolt has been organized
against Sheehan for lieutenant.governor In
bis own city and county of Buffalo and Erie.
The Buffalo Inquirer, which Is Its mouth,
piece,says thousands of Democrats there will
refuse to vote for him. Besides all this,
the Republicans are codling the liquor In
terest In New York City with apparent sue
cess. The rumsellers are ugly because no
law allowing the opening of saloons during
certain hours on Sunday was passed at the
last session, although Tammany promised 1t.
They have for years been paying enormous
as the Wine and Spirit Gazette
says, to the city police and SO for the support
Of Tammany, land they conclude that 1t Is
about time to turn elsewhere for alliance.
What the campaign will develop later is of
course beyond prediction. But just now the
trend Is unmistakably against the Demo-
Gratis. The element of doubt is whether de-. |
cent citizens will believe they can find any
hing better by going to the support of Tom

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Herald,

has repeatedly sent people to buy these
places, and they have always been dIscour-

In running the places down, accompanied by
