Testimony Before the Elmfra Re-
fOrmatOry Investigation Committee.

The Elmira reformatory investigation
was taken up in New York yesterday.
The first witness was Michael Howard of
264 Third avenue, this city. He described
the punishments inflicted on him. He was
beaten about the head for failing to per-
form his task. The witness said that while
he was in the hospital he saw an inmate
named James Wahle brought there so weak
that he fell while walking to the hospital,
and died four days after he was admitted
The witness said that Wahle's back was
covered with bruises and that Wahle told
him he did not expect to recover The wit
ness thus described his death:
'On the fourth day Wahle was so weak
that he could not speak. He was removed
to what We called the drying room on the
night before his death. l was with him
alone when he died. He motioned to me
that he wanted a pencil and paper. 1 gave
them to him and he wrote as follows:
Tell my mother that / was killed by
Brockway in the reformatorv.' With that
he held out his hand to me and died.
Other testimony of a similar character
was given.

that they should be limited by strict econo-
my, we can not close our eyes to the fact that
conditions have grown up among us which,
IN Justice and fairness, call for discrimina-
ting care in the distribution of such duties
and taxation as the emergencies of our GOv-
ernment actually demand.
Manifestly, If we are to aid the people di
rectly through tariff reform, one of its most
obvious features should be reduction in
present tariff charges upon the necessaries
OF life. The benefits of such reduction
would be palpable and substantial, seen and
felt by thousands who would be better fed
ana better clothed and better sheltered.
These gifts should be the willing benefac-
tions of Government whose highest func-
ton is the promotion of the welfare of the
people. Not less closely related to our peo-
pies prosperity and well being is the remov-
al of restrictions upon the i'm pOrtation of the
raw materials necessary to our manufac-
lures. The world should be open to our ma
tlonal ingenuity and enterprise. This can
not be while Federal legislation, through the
imposition of high tariff, forbids the Amer
lcan manufacturers as cheap materials as
those used by their competitors. 1t is quite
obvious that the enhancement of the price
OF our manufactured products, resulting
from thls policy, not only confines the mar
ket Tor these products within our own bor-
ders, to the direct disadvantage of our man
ufacturers, but also increases their cost to
our citizens. The interests of labor are GER

ouiO vi Jul SySttHl. he sharp COnDe-
tition and active struggle among our manu-
facturers to supply the limited demand for
their goods, soon fill the narrow market to
which they are confined. Even If the often
disproved assertion could be made good that
lower rate of wages would result from free
raw materials and low tariff duties, the in

hnally discover that their steady employ
ment, permitted by free raw material, is the
most important factor in their relations to
tariff legislation. measure has been pre-
pared by the appropriate Congressional COM

herein suggested, which will be promptly

sire for the success of this measure can not
restrain the suggestion that Its success can
only be attained by means of unselfish coun-
sci on the part of friends of tariff reform,
and as a result OF their willingness to subor-
dinate personal desires and ambitions to the
general good. The local interests affected by
the proposed reform are so numerous and so
varied that II all are Insisted upon the iegis.

In conclusion, my intense feeling of re-

manifold interests of generous and confid-

pledge my willing support to every legisla-
tive effort for the advancement of the great
ness and prosperity of our beloved country.

TRUTH FOR MR.. CLEVELAND.
The View of Powerful Newspaper
Which Supported Him.

The Democratic party has fallen short
OF the expectation of the voters who
made its success possible. The effect
has been reactionary, tending toward
its defeat as soon as it became obvious
that it could not or would not through
its administration of public affairs
make real and rosy the dreams of its
overhopeful adherents.
Broadly stated, the Democratic party
has thus far failed as an administrative
or reform party. This is not only true
OF the national organization, but is
equally true of the party in its admin
istration of the affairs of the greater
States and municipalities.
In addition to Mr.. Cleveland g failure
to satisfactorily administer the spoils
system of his party there is now rapid
development of this fundamental differ
ences that exists in party of "opposi-
tion.' There is a total disagreement
within the party on almost every public
question entailed upon the party for
settlement. There is.a split ON the sill
yer question.
There is wide divergence of opinion
upon the proposition to repeal the State
Bank Tax law. There is no agreement
on tariff reform, and it is safe to say
that there are Democratic representa-
tives who favor every article protected
by the Mckinley law. The Democrats
of the West are for free silver and in
opposition to those of the East. The
Southern wing of the party would
like to return to the days of State Bank
issues, in defiance of the wishes of the
Democrats of the North.
The Western Democracy would like
to see fulfilled the promises of the party
in regard to the breaking up of trusts.
The pension policy of the President is
opening chasm that is broad and deep.
Democrats are inharmonious on the pro-
posed income tax, the gold bond issue,
coming the seigniorage, and, in fact,
there is no principal proposition of gov
ernmental policy on which the party is
united. - Chicago Daily News lind.

A Hundred ton Magazine Order.

An event in periodical literature, not
without its significance to the general
public as showing the growth of the
reading classes, was the receipt on the
9th of November by The Cosmopolitan
Magazine of the order given below. A
single order from a news company for
one hundred tons Of magazine. That is
almost an event in the history of the
world. A like order has never before
been made, and if past ratios be main
tanned it means consi derably more than
half a million circulation for the De-
cember Cosmopolitan. Yet, when the
list of authors and artists in the Decem-
be number is examined, one is not SO
much surprised. 1t contains the only
known unpublished manuscript of De
Maupassant, illustrated by Verge, per-
haps the most famous of European
illustrators; After the Worlds Fair, by
Paul Bourget, John ]. Ingalls,, William
Dean Howells, Lyman ]. Gage, Arthur
Sherburne Hardy, Mark Twain, Robert
Grant and others nearly as famous,
and nearly two hundred illustrations,
to which the following artists con-
tribute: Hopkinson Smith, Kemble,
Harry Fem, F. o. Small, Atwood,
Henckel, Dan Beard, Reinhs rt and
Remington. Think of having the
Worlds Fair done by such expensive
men as Howells, Mark Twain and Paul
Bourget, and sending such artists as
Charles s, Reinhart to Chicago for q
single number of a magazine to be
for only Is cents, or by subscription
12i cents. A book publisher, prepar-
ing such book would not dare incur
these expenses short of $500 a copy.
1t is not a revolution that is an improve
ment upon old methods revolution of
vast importance to the reading publicp

LITERARY NOTES.

Instead of the usual extended char
acter sketch of some one person, the
December Review of Reviews publishes
six shorter character sketches, cover
ing in the group wide range of inter
national interests. The first is sketch
of Serge Julich Vitte, the new Russian
Minister of Finance, whose mastery
hands has checkmated Germany in the
bitter tariff war that has for many
months been raging between the coun-
tries. 1t is a vivid sketch from an
anonymous pen. The writer is evidently
versed in the most intimate way in
Russian life and politics, and the arti-
Gle is illustrated with numerous por-
traits. The second is sketch of Tom
Mann, the most interesting personality
among all the labor leaders of England,
and the article is by John c. Carlisle,
himself an active worker in English
trades unionism. The third is an arti-
Gle on the late Carter Harrison, of
Chicago, by DR.. Shaw, editor of the
Review of Reviews, and is a fair
and impartial Characterization of the
most widely known of Chicago's poll
ticians. 1t is accompanied by portraits
of Mr.. Harrison. The fourth sketch is
from nc less eminent writer than
Archedeacon Farar, and its subjects
is the late Benjamin Jowett, master of
Balliol College, Oxford. the eminent
Greek scholar and translator of Plato.
The fifth, accompanied by magnifl-
cent full page portrait, is a very at
tractive account of the life and work
of the distinguished French musician
Gounod. Finally, in the sixth sketch,
there is portrayal by Samuel ]. Cap
per of the late Louis Ruchonnet, who
served two terms as President of Swift
zerland, and who was the best known
of all the public men of that enlighten-
ed little country.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 3d.
The joint judiciary committee OF the
two houses met this afternoon after the
adjournment OF the Legislature, and
took up for consideration Gen. st. Clair's
substitute for the married woman'S law
passed at the last session OF the Legis-
lature. After due consideration and
adoption Of amendments, 1t was de-
cided to report back the bill with IA
vorable recommendation. The new
billisin all respects similar to the law
OF 1865, except that IL gives women
power to sue and be sued, and to trans
fer property without consent Of their
husbands.
The joint resolution providing for a
repeal OF the section Of the State con-
stitution which forbids the enactment
of regeristration law, was also dis
cussed. Gen. St. Clair and delegate
Lively OF Lewis, Chairman of the Sen
ate and House Judiciary Committees
respectively, were appointed as sub
committee to draft an amendment to
the constitution. The general express
sion of oppinion in committee favored
the proposed amendment.
The Senate Committee on Judiciary
took up Sc nator Dorsey's bill providing
for new county court in Marshal SIM
liar to that of Ohio, and decided to re-
port it back with recommendation
that it pass.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 3d.
In the House this morning, Mr.. Staple
toms Valued Policy Insurance bill came
upon its second reading and provoked
quite lively discussion. Mr.. Wilson,
of Ohio, moved to amend the bill, by
providing that any person who shall
knowingly overstate the value OF his
property shall be guilty OF felony, and
upon conviction shall be confined in the
penitentiary not less than three, nor TO
exceed five years.
Mr.. Lively offered an amendment to
the amendment, making the crime g
misdemeanor, and took the floor TO
speak upon his amendment. lie thought
the misdemeanor should apply to both
sides, and that insurance agents would
then exercise d little more caution in
taking risks.
Mr.. Wilson replied that the insurance
companies are punished sufficiently by
the excess of the loss over the actual
value OF the property.
Mr.. McCalliSter spoke in favor OF Mr.
Wilson's amendment.
Mr.. Clark (of Upshur) agreed with
Mr.. Lively that the agent as well as the
insured should be made liable TO the
law Agents should fix the value OF
property, and should fix it by a personal
examination Of the property.
Judge Maxwell said the purpose OF
the bill was to make the agent live up
to the terms of a contract which he
made in good faith with the insured. II
the insured destroys his property the
present law will take care OF him.
Both amendments were defeated, and
motion was made by Mr. Floyd to lay
the bill on the table. He explained
that he was in sympathy with the
measure, but could not vote for it in its
present shape.
This brought Mr.. Edwards to his feet
with the remark that the opponents OF
the bill, having been defeated in COM
mittee, were making an effort by load
ing it down with amendments, to kill II
in the House. He favored the bill.
The bill was finally, by an over
whelmiug vote, ordered to its third
reading. Insurance men now have no
hope of defeating it, as the majority of
the Legislature is plainly against them.
