The gentlemen present expressed great

Rights OF the Party
to seat Mr.. Baker In the governors s
chair There was considerable talk over
the way in which the Democrats had
failed in the country districts, and it was
acknowledged thai the party had shown
great weak mess where IL should have been
strong. Somehow or other it appeared that
''the people" didn't rally at the polls
as they should and IL seemed ex-

United States Rubber Company.

The United States Rubber company
has taken very great care that the terms
of its purchase of the Woonsocket Rub
ber company should not be made public
1t is understood, however, that the price
was very large one. 1t is TO be in
ferred from recent remarks OF Mr.. Bani-
gan, president of the Woonsocket COM
pany, that the origiral purpose of the
Unted.States people was to freeze out
the smallor Woonsocket stock holders.
No one familiar with Mr.. Banigan's s
m thods will fail to appreciate the fact
that he would never have put his com
pany into the rubber trust had not offers
been made him of a most flatterng
character In other words, it is plain 10
be seen that there was n "big pot OF
money" for the Woonsocket people in
selling out. Whether in the long run
there will be corresponding advantage
to the Unit ed States Rubber company in
owning the property at the price paid

Selling Pools.

ALBANY, April 29-The pool dealers,
who, by recent bill passed in the legis-
lature were put out of business, have
found a new way To evade the law. A
month ago tho Municipal Telegraph com
pany filed articles Of incorporation. The
company, which includes all the big pool
room keepers In the large cities between
here and Buffalo, with John Mack of
Albany as president, announces that it
will transmit money or messages TO any
race track in the United States.
The company as safeguard further an
nounces that it will not transmit any
money il known that it is to be placed for
betting purposes. Any person desiring to
send moncyto any race track, pays the
money, writes his message accompanying
it, and pays the rate charged for transmits
sion. He is then given a card similar to
this:

bearer - dollars 10 be paid TO - subject

A "CIean Sweep" Seems to Be the
Motto at Washington.
CHANGES In STATE DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Gresham Removes More Omce-
holders In Two Months than Were Re
moved In twenty-five Years Previ-
ously.

WASHINGTON. April 20. - Before the
president and members OF the cabinet
started for the naval review at New
York they had conference respecting
the completion of the organic alton OF
the executive departments. 1t was de-
cided to make very thorough change in
the offices, and that notification should
be given to the parties, so that they
might have ample warning OF their con-
tenpla ated retirement. IL has been found
aft examination that the service coul |
be made more efficient by having these
oflice rs in political accord with the ad-
mnistration and to infuse new blood
into these important branches or depart
mental duty.
In the state department Secretary
Gresham has made more changes in two
months than have taken place III twenty
five years. Men who have been in the
Twenty-Five Years
have been displaced and younger men
have been substituted. The reason as
signed for this course by the secretary Is
that the persons displaced were not
PERFORMING their duties satisfactor iiy
aud were running the department. on the
line OF favortsn rather than upon
efficiency. Ihis department never hav-
ing been run on political methods, the
old employees thought themselves per-
fectly secure; but sentiment has not been
pernlitted TO stand III the way OF efii-
cheney. When Secretary Gresham ac-
cepted the depart nent OF state, he de-
termined TO institute reforms which had
long been neglec ed. The first step was
the selection of Josiah Quincy, re-
former. who is now reorganizlnS the
entire consular service on a different
basis. This necessitated changes III the
internal personnel.
In the treasury department., where
politics dominates all appointments. out

Have Not Kept Pace
with the eagerness Of the politicians, but
from intimations recsived from Sscre-
tary Carlisle they will not have this
cause Of complaint to disturb them much
longer. The secretary. in his moments
apart from routine uuty and tn. iutru-
sions OF politicians, aas been looking iItO
the different bureaus aud understands
where changes viii be most needed.
These will be made first. Ii is the secre-
tary's belief that the force can be greatly
reduced and the work not impaired by
wedding out men who have do 10 little
work but who have been holding their
positions as sinecures through personal
Influence.
In the other departments similar
course will be pursued. In the agricul-
tural department., Secretary Morton nas

Gold and Credits.

We have now reached the point when
further depletions of our STOCK ol
gold will inevitably curtail the volume
of business transacted in this country.
1t is loosely estimated that, under our
clearing house method of settling balan-
ces. S. of gold will take place OF s9j in
credit. Business men are now beginning
to realize that further shrinkage in the
gold supply must be accompanied by a
shrinkage in the amount OF credits out
standinv. In other words, the loss oI
every 100000 OF god may be said tc
necessitate the curtailmcnt Of about
sl9,000000 Of credits, providing the
present ratio in the settlement of clear
ing house balances holds good.
