thousands. unesrthed the fact that the
accounts OF the home were not kept in
the "most approved manner" lie also
says the committee ascertained that the
hospital building was insecure and that
Ia constructing one or more OF the
buildings the Appropriation was ex-
ceeded by So, 900. lie also adds that
the committee learned that somebody
accepted $50 10 lobby bill before
the legislature.
Il Is admitted that all these startling
disclosures were made public by the
committee, but it is no less true that
the principal disclosures" were known
TO the public before the smelling COM
mittee began to smell. The truth is
that tina Investigation was entirely un-
called for. The democrats had come
into possession OF the books and II was
the duty Of the democratic board be-
fore taking control u assure itself that
the books of accounts were approved"
and balanced. II 1t neglected to do so,
ii was culpably negligent OF the peoples
interests.
The deficit IN the building fund was
well known. IL did not require an in
vestiganon to prove II. 1t was an
honest deficiency and Mr.. White does
not intimate to the contrary. The
condition of tho hospital WAS known
To the board and IL had the power to
correct its architectural weakness. Mr..
White exposes himself to the charge of
Stiffness when he asserts that 1t was
necessary to employ an investigating
committee of squawbucks to discover
that the roof of building was too
heavy for its supports
Thus il will be seen that Mr.. Whites
committee did nothing tina; could moi
have been done 10y the democratic
board, except to learn that lawyer

was paid 500 IN legitimate case, At s.
White, by his smelling committee
saddled thousands of dollars OF un.
necessary taxation upon the people
Mr.. Whites defence is weak and com
promising. He would escape con
demnstion by urging that his motive:
were pure As a matter of fact the
motive was TO create u sensation, but
ii failed ingloriously. The republican
administration was shown to be honest
aud Mr.. White knows it. IL it were
not so shown, Mr.. White and the
squswbucks would have made tn,

OURS Is THE BEST
The American Clay Is the Fin

FOR HIGH QUALITY CHINAWARE
But the American Manufactures Does
Not Take Pains Enough With His
High Grade Products.

Sweets. big year for crockery," he
said yesterday. zone of the greatest.
The American crockery interests are
reaching enormous proportions. We
can now make the best crockery IN the
world. Almost all tho cheap grades
now are Of American manufacture. In
fact, the tariff is 80 high that the
English goods cannot be sold in this
country At profit. What cheap
English ware there is sold in this coun-
try now is used mostly as q bait. The
manufacturers OF high grade goods
throw IN their cheap ware at very
small price as sort of bonus to their
customers, with consignments of high
priced crockery. That is the only way
the foreign manufacturer can cut into
us, and he doesn't like the method
we'll enough to make business Of it.
Only = Question of Time
"It Is only a question of short time
until America will supply the world
with high grade chinawsre. We have
the clay to do it. In fact, our clay il
the finest on earth and superior in
every way TO the celebrated Haviland
clay. The great trouble with our fine
clay china is in the workmanship.
The American manufacturer IS too
eager to get rich, and cOnse-
quently does not allow his goods
to become properly seasoned. For
instance, If an American manufsc-
turer OF crockery receives an order to-
day he will begin work Immediately
and fill it at the earliest possible min
ute. His English competitor would
I'LL it next year, unless he had the
goods in stock. English capital Is will
ling to satisfy itself with Z or per
cent; but the American can't content
himself with such an Insignificant div
idend. Consequently, instead OF thor
oughly seasoning his chinaware he
ships 1t In comparatively crude con-
ditiOn, and the reputation of American
china has to suffer from his greed.
We have the clay, and if we will raise
the standard of our workmanship we
can lead them ALL"

The weather deserves recognition In

to DO with the result than all the stump
speaking since Adam. Ii election day
is pleasant the republican party Will
start from the eastern shores OF the
Pine Tree state, and, keeping company
with the sun, will sweep the country
from Maine 10 Mendocino. IL the day
Do foul the results will be doubly 80.
There is tram of sympathy between
democracy and damnable weather. On
q wet, slimy, nasty day democratic
votes seem to spring up like toad stools
in beer vault.
On fair day the republican hosts
will turn out en- mssse, buta rainy cleo
ton produces that tired feeling in the
forces of republicanism. Its voters are
recruited largely from the ranks OF
the farmers aud workingmen. A bad
day keeps them away from the polls;
but IT has quite the contrary effect on
the kid-gloved and plug-ugly elements
that unite to form democracy.
Nothing short Of . cyclone that will
blow him out Of his precinct can keep
democrat away from the polls on
election day. simultaneously with the
Lords prayer, he learned to vote early
and often. The former sometimes es
eapes him; but the latter, never.
Eight years ago, when Cleveland wa:
elected, 1t rslned and showed and
thawed and froze. The day was O
masterpiece of abomination and every
change for the worse In the weather

When HARRISON was elected, four years
ago, the day was ALI that the heart oil

upon our banners from the moment

HEAVY CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Some idea of the immense expense
attendant upon presidential campaigns
is outlined in figures given to the pub
lie by the New York Sun. Ii 10 claimed
for them that they are approximately
correct. 1t is represented that the ex-
pense of the democratic campaign
began last February when the anti
snap movement was inaugurated.
From that time until the Syracuse con-
vention was held the expense includ-
ing the snti-snappers' trip to Chicago
am ,unted to $780, 900. Then the great
convention was held and the gross ex-
penses of that remarkable gathering
aggregated 100000. making a grand
total cost for Cleveland's nomination
of q cool half-million.
Nobody can estimate with any assur-
ance of accuracy the democratic ex-
penditure from the date OF the national
convention until now, but it is believed
to be IN the neighborhood of 81, 1000. 900.
The Sun presumes to give the actual
disbursements for forty-eight hours
and this is the schedule: New York
state, $500, 900; New York CITY, 800, 900;
Indiana, $4,000 Ohio, $4,000; Vir-
GINA. $4,000; West Virginia, $35. 900;
Connecticut. $4,000; North Carolina.
SAC, 900; total, 1856, 900. In this sched-
ule the corruption fund sent to Ore
gon, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Colorado and Illinois is not included
but it is believed to be very large.
The republicans are alleged to have
used something like 81 200, 900, distri
buted over the doubtful states. Blu,
republican money has been expended
in the printing and distributing OF liter.

TO THE w0MaN's AUXILIARY
Union of All Churches Among the Impor-
tsnt Questions Consids1ed by ths
Episcopal clsrgynsn.


hesibtel touag.
There was . good attendance at the
regular monthly NEE ting of the NO.
mans Auxiliary Missionary society of
ST. Marks church, and tue meeting
was one Of unusual interest. DR..
Campbell Fair was present, and st the
request OF the members gave report
OF the great Episcopal convention held
recently IN Baltimore. Dr.. Fair said that
what congress 10 to the United States
the convention 10 10 the church. The
convention meets once in three years
for the purpose OF leglslsting for the
church. It is composed of . house Of
bishops, which holds secret sessions
and gives nothing of lts doings 10 the
public except such matters as are OF
general interest. There 10 another house
OF the convention known as the house OF
deputies, composed OF four cierRymsn
and four laymen from each diocese IA
the country.
The work of that convention could
be gathered under nine heads, and the
work lasted for three weeks. 1t Was
very gratifying 10 see some of the bus
lest men IN the United States. and
some of the most prominent men in the
country, there At every sesslon of the
convention taking an active part IN the
work.
The Matter OF Missious.
The first of all matters TO receive
attention was missions. There WAS but
one matter under that head which pro-
yoked discussion, that was the Mexican
question. 1t was urged 10y some that
as the Catholic church had foothold
in Mexico and was dong its work ther 9
the Episcopal church should keep out.
He was delighted 10 see that the con-
vention decided by q large majority
to continue missionary work IN Mexico.
The terrible condition of the Mexicanl
certainly needed oil the help it could
get from the protestant churches.
The next matter was legislation 1t was
found that very little legislation was
needed. which was proof that the
church was well governed and that
there were no matters that need cause
alarm IN the church.
Education was the next subject. II
was the sense of the convention that
that the Episcopal church was nc
enemy OF the public school, but there
were places that the public schools could
not reach. 1t was In these places that the
church could do some good work and
1t was decided t. do something in thu
direction. The fifth matter considered
was the question of unity
1t was decided that all protestant
churches should be invited to confer
with the Episcopal church to zee if 9
union cou 1 not be effected. 1t would
be y grand day when the Episcopal
church could JOIN with one or two oi
the other protestant churches. Those
that live to see that day will stand on
the threshold of the millennium.
