WASTING THE STATE FAIR APPRoPRIA-
TION.

The state commission of California tor
the worlds fair, having secured decis-
ion of the supreme court affirming the
constitutionality of the law appropriat-
ing $4,000 to be spent in erecting
buildings for the exhibits of this state,
proceeds at once to the creation OF 9TH
ces with high salary attachments. When
the bill was under discussion in the
state senate, it was attacked on the very
ground that the commissioners would
waste the money in creating sinecure
Offices with high salaries. 1t was only
after the author of the bill explicitly de-
clared that no offices could be created
by the commissioners, and that no sala-
ries could be legally paid out OF the
money appropriated, that opposition
was withdrawn and the bill passed.
How have the commissioners observed
this condition of the act?
They have already violated its spirit
and letter by appointing chief secre-
tary and seven assistants with salaries
of $500 year each. They have further
created an entire new set of commits
sioners. not contemplated by the act,
and fixed a salary Of $1,000 year to
each Of these newly appointed commits
sioners.
This is but the beginning. We are
now confronted with manifest policy
developed by the board to fritter away
the money, appropriated for exhibition
buildings and the expense OF conveying
exhibits to Chicago, in salaries to peo-
pie who have a "pulln and want fat
job. They have not only appointed
salaried secretaries and duplicate sal
aried commissioners. but they have
also created the Office of freight inspec-
tor, or something of that kind, with a
salary of $4,000 year.
But this is not all. The bill provides
that all legitimate expenses approved
by the commission shall be certified to
the state board OF examiners, and il
allowed, warrants for the same shall be
drawn against the exhibit fund. In
stead of pursuing this plain, honest
business course, they have drawn out
one-half of the entire fund from the
treasury in bulk, and with this money
in hand, can exercise their own discre.
tion in its expenditure, without any
check whatever from the state board o.
examiners.
We doubt whether this mode of pro
cedare on the part of the commissioners
will be permitted to go much farther
without challenge from the people
There will be found some taxpayer with
enough public spirit to go into the courts
and cry halt to this unwarranted method
of misapplying fund that was only to
be used for the proper purpose of erect
ing buildings on the fair grounds and
paying the legitimate expenses of send
ing on the California exhibits.
not, the bulk of the money will be
squandered in fat salaries and the grea
object of the appropriation be defeated
and our state scandalized. The commits
sioners have only begun their work ant
they have already voted away Is pc
cent OF this years appropriation in
salaries. What will be left for th,
buildings and for the legitimate ex
penses of the exhibits by the time the
commissioners get we'll down to theil
work of creating salaried sinecures?

THIRTEEN TO ELEVEN.
That's the Way Clarksville Did Up outh-
RE Yesterday.

A crowd numbering about 400 peo-
pie assembled at the University base
ball grounds last evening to see the
game between the GAINESVILLE and
Guthrie teams. The GAINESVILLE
boys, smarting under the drubbing
they received at the hands of Guth-
rie'a few days ago, chinked up all the
holes in their bats and went in to
win. The battery for the GAINESVILLE
team was Norman Stewart and Per-
cy Jackson and Hollingswolth and
McDougall. Greenfield and Vernon
Leak held the points for Guthrie.
The game was closely contested
from start to finish and resulted in a
victory for GAINESVILLE in a score Of

Henry Atkins started in as umpire,
but was hit by a ball that retired

This is the first time that Guthrie
has been beaten in four years, and

their victory. With little more

excellent team.

Several months ago John Laven-

one of his feet badly crushed by be-
ing caught under car wheel at
Guthrie, Ky. The injury was at
tended to by a physician and the
hurt was not thought to be of seri-
Gus nature. Lavender was brought
to his home in East Nashville and a
week ago The limb began to show
signs of whitening and decay. "A
consultation was held and 1t was de.
cided to amputate the leg. Laven-
der was removed to the City Hos.
pital and Saturday the operation was
performed by DIR. Duncan Eve. The
limb was au.putated in three places,
twice below the knee and once above
before the extent of his affliction
could be ascertained. t

Do We Need Another Partyp

Last Monday, in Lincoln county,
all the Alliance members Of the
County Democratic Executive Com
mites resigned in body, and going
to the court house, AFFILIATED with the
Third or Peoples party in conven-
ton which had been called to send
delegates to a State convention in
Nashville on the 18th Of June, and
from thence to the Omaha conven-
tion OF July 4. ~
These Alliance members, five In
all, had heretofore, we are told, pro-
fessed their allegiance. to the Demo-
cratic party and declared their deter
mination to support the Democratic
nominees this year. Their sudden
change of front was due to the fact
that Mcdowell, the State president
of the Alliance, has advised all menu
bers to have nothing to do with Dem.
ocratic primaries or conventions, but
to give their support TO the party
that advocates their principles. Mr..
Taylor, the editor of the Toiler, lives
in Lincoln county, and was also in
strumental in tho effort to break up
the Democratic party in.that county.
The Democratic committee had
called n primary TO pass on the gov
ernor's question, and these five gen.
tlemen, one Of them an ex.member
Of the Legislature, withdrew rather
than participate in the primary, and
thus be bound by its action. The
third party convention was held at
the court house, delegates appointed
and a new party formally organized.
This action Of the Alliance leaders
of course gives Lincoln county,
which is one of the largest in the
State, TO Judge Turney without
struggle. In six other counties OF
the State, which have come under
our notice In the last week, similar
action has been taken. Mcdowell,
the Toiler, the Alliance leaders gen.
orally concede the defeat of Buch-
anan, and conceding it, are leaving
the Democratic party and enlisting
under q new banner. .. .ll
Are the Alliancemen of Montgom-
erv county prepared for this? 1t was
noticed al the last meeting of the
County Executive Committee, which
called 4 primary, that nearly all the
atliapcemen were absent Was it in
territorial or was 1t accidental We
sincerely hope the latter we nope
