(Hartford Courant) ABOUT THE LATE CAMPAIGN.

It is whispered about town that there are bills outstanding of from $1,O00 to 5 200, more or less, which are contract ed in the late campaign by the republican town committee, and which the commit tee reports no money to pay. Some of the creditors, so goes the same story, are in that state of restlessness which people will fall into when money is due them and they can't get it. And it is understood that the hat is to be passed around.
 Perhaps this is the not unsuitable end ing to a campaign that was in some re- spect as discreditable as in all respects it was disastrous to the republican party management. Hartford town was showed under with democratic ballots. The gov ernorship was lost, the state senate was lost, the. congressional delegation was the machine a failure at all points.
 Yet it cannot be said that the alleged shortage in Hartford is due to excessive expenditure in the senator's behalf. There's 6 sharp distinction between spending money of man and spending for man and that this was very closely observed would no. doubt appear if the auditors should report how much the town committee received from the sena- tor and how much they spent for him..
 Many people remember that when the great Wide Awake rally was held in the opera house, the largest and most enthusiastic meeting of the campaign here, meaning announced week or ten days in advance to be addressed by Senator Hawley, the town committee proceeded to bill the republican caucus for that same hour and evening, Great indignation was exp1 essed, but the caucus was hold just the same and chuckled over, too, as smart" Some persons have supposed that that was as far as the insult went. But as matter of history we may add that it did go further. The bill for the use of the opera house at the Wide Awake meeting was sent to Senator Hawley's office. The committees, will ling enough to receive his money, did not pay the bill with it or any other funds.
 It happened that one of the leading re- publicans of the state, a gentleman living not far north of Hartford, heard of this, and, blushing for the management of the pasty that he has belonged to evel since it, was organized, requested the privilege of paying the bill himself, and he did it on the spot.
 As this is a positive fact, THE CoURANT is able to state without fear of contradic- tion that the outlays in behalf of Senator Hawley are not accountable for any shortage that may exist in Hartford.
 Possibly when the hat begins to circu- late there will be some to ask what money came in, where it went, and what there is to show for it.

There is something very rotten in Ar kansas. Governor Fishbaok has sent a special message to the legislature, in which he declares that in several depart ments of the state government corruption
 has held high carnival for years. He goes into particulars and points out where the stealing has been done, and says that some of the proceedings un- earthed are disgrace to the state.

]. Hugh O'Donnell, the leader in the Homestead strike, and on trial for mur- der, was allowed to testify in his own be- half:
 Upon oross.examination he denied that the men had military organization, but admitted that they were divided into three turns at watching the property, for the purpose of protecting 1t.
 "From whom were you guarding the property, then? ?"
 "To keep the firm, may be, from de- stroying the property"
 'To keep the Carnegie Steel Company from destroying it's own property?"
 "To keep its watchmen."
 "To keep it's watchmen from destroy ing it's property!"

Imagine his feelings when he opened a dispatch from H. H. Kohlsaat, the pro- prietor of the Chicago Inter- Ocean, plac- ing his bank account at McKinley's dis posal for an unlimited amount. MT. Kohl saat, who is one of Chicago's leading citi- zens, was in New York when the news of McKinley's troubles reached him, and started for home, via Ohio, to help his friend out.

The surrender of John c. Enc, who ab- seconded in 1884 and was charged with ap- propriating $2, 400, 900 as an officer of the Second National bank of New York, is something of a surprise. He has since been a prominent member of the Canadian colony. It may be assumed that he would hardly surrender unless he had the assur- ance that he could be freed or could effect a compromise.

No one can say that romance is dead. Real life affords us some examples which are quite up to anything in fiction.
 What picture is this-the elder De Lesseps, the great French genius, dining with his son. Both are convicted felons, yet only the son knew it and the old man talked glibly about his canal enterprise, as sanguine and buoyant as in his best days. He declared that the enterprise would yet succeed in the lines he had laid out.
 While he was talking thus, government detectives watch the scene and the young or De Lesseps, who knew the ruin of all knew that the old man who talked so hope fully and enthusiastically was convicted felon like himself, sat and listened to the childish old count in gloomy silence.
 It would be cruel to break the illusion of this old man with his feet on the edge of the grave. Even if he were not more sinned against than shining, he could be allowed to die in peace.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un- til we've paid our respects and hearty. thanks to good old 1892 The year that is past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. 1t has seldom been the privi- vilege Of a business house to have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values, brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values.
 We'll begin '93 with brighter future than any preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan.. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over Western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- pOrtunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such state of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods partners will disagree-Some of them die stocks have got to be sold cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv 1ege to offer to an appreciative public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation Of goods and low prices that will play an impOrtant paFt in this great sale. Moth. Ing unworthy Is offered.
 | In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.

with the Financial situation.
II is singular fact in our political
history that the democratic party has
never been able to handle national
finances with any success. The success
of that party at the presidential and
congressional elections of 1892 was fol-
lowed very speedily by business pros
tration, due to the belief that COM
plete tearing-up of the protective sys-
tenn would follow. The financial panic,
caused by the dangerous decline in the
gold reserve, and the steady increase in
the volume of credit money under the
Sherman law, sharply accentuated the
business depression. AS one result,
our imports have largely fallen off and
the revenues OF the government ara
less than its expenses; and this condi1
ton. it is clear, will grow worse during
the coming year.
1t is certain that our imports will
decline No one is going to import for
eign goods and pay the present scale Of
duties, with the certainty that when
the Wilson bill goes into effect tha
same goods can be imported at far

year our import trade will be at q
minimum, and the revenue, conse-
quently, still less than it is now
Already all sorts of expedients have
been resorted to. The gold reserve has
been cut into, the balances in the ma
tional banks designated as repositories
have been run down to the lowest point

for public buildings and other improve
ments have been used to meet current

legality. All these are, of course only
temporary stop-gaps; the deficiency

The Bandits All Yong Men.

VINITA, l.. T., Dec. 25.-The five or SIX
train robbers who held up the south
bound express and passenger train on
the Kansas & Arkansas Valley road at
Seminole station, nine miles south of
Coffeyville, Kas., last night were all
young men. They were dressed like
cowboys, wearing top-boots and broad
brimmed hats. The gang is believed
to be the same that attempted to hold
up passenger train on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas road last Friday even
ing at Kelso switch Bot Rogers and
Charley Wolf are thought to be tho
leaders of the bandits. The gang has
operated in the northern portion of the
Indian territory for the past year. ter
rorizing the entire community. One of
the gang was killed by officers last
July, and another is now serving
term in the penitentiary for larceny.
Marshal Crunp Of the western dis
trict of Arkansas has telegraphed his
deputies stationed in tins part of the
territory to spare no pains to capture
the desperadoes. Deputy Marshal
Drummer left this city last night with
a strong posse for the scene of the
hold-up.
Every effort will be made to effect
the apprehension of the robbers, but

ments of officers.
1t is not known how much booty was
secured, but it is known that it was
considerable. The mail and express
cars were rified of their contents and
every passenger on the train was re-
lieved of everything of value he or she
had.
