What about the case of School Fund |
Commissioner Olneys Here. but q few days
ego, the Hartford Times was loadsd down
with denuncistion of him and suddenly it
all stopped.
He was accused of being responsible for
a deficiency of 100000. We quoted the
Times of March, 1889, where it said he
was in no way responsible for the deAcien-
cy-and that charge was disposed of out of
the mouth of his enemies.
The Times accused him O: keeping
private personal bank account with school
fund money, and Expert Wilson said the
account was kept openly as "commission
en-" and was not private account at all
and that charge was disposed of out of
the mouth of one of his judges.
Mr.. Staub land the Times) accused him
of disregarding home demands for loans
and lending only at the west. We showed
that 43 per cent of the fund is lent on home
real estate while the savings banks that
they cited have only 81 per cent. of their
funds so invested-and that disposed of
this foolish accusation.
Mr.. Staub charged him with keeping the
Independent bank account unlawfully and
We ehO wed that 1t was q course forced upon
Mr.. Olney by Stsub's refusal to give an Or
der for paying a bill until the r.csipted
bill was given to him, It must be paid
first and the money was 80 used. More
over the same statute that was thus tech
nicslly violated by Mr.. Olney was repeat
eddy violated by Mr.. stacb. The Times
never seemed quite to grasp this fact. But
it's there-and that disposes of another
charge.
Then we showed that of the 500, 600
shrinkage, one-sixth of the loss came out
of one sweet little "home" transaction
down in Haddam, where Mr.. Oiney's dem
ocratic predecessor accommodated fellow
democrat who had helped him into Office
by loans that realized 81 800 on an indebt-
edness of about $4,000. This affair has
escaped the notice of the Times and the
other democratic papers, spite of our eff
forts to show it to them.
And now the OlneJ agitation has stopped.
The cheap attacks ON him have failed, ss
they ought to. No credit has como to the
democratic party by this demonstration,
but a serious expense has been put upon the
state. First the state auditors were re-
quired by Comptroller Staub to 60 over Mr..
Olney's accounts that had already been au-
dited and had been accepted by the legisla-
ture. This cost $500 extra and resulted in
merely sustaining the previous audit. Then
these came non-psrtisan auditors were hu-
INFLATED and discreditsd by having an ex-
pert put ON their tracks to do their work
over again, and he found things as they
found them-all right. But the state must
not only pay this years auditors for the
re-auditipg of laet years auditors, 1t must
also pay the expert for several weeks time
given 70 auditing this years auditors, and
all to prove that Mr.. Olney has managed
his Office admirably and that there is moth
ing for the most hostile and vindictivs op-
ponent to turn sg ainst him.
Mr.. Olney has been vindicated in most
public way by all of this. 1t has been per-
| sonslly dissgreeable, but officially 1t is one
of the memorable victories recorded in the
state house history.

sHoULD INVESTIGATES.

Whatever charges may be brought
against the Democratic Senators who
have mutilated the Wilson tariff bill
and brought down the Indignation Of
their party on their heads, the REGIs-
TER will not for an instant believe that
the action Of any Senator OF the United
States upon the pending bill has been,
or will be, IN any way affected by bribery.
That there have been attempts 10 bride
them can not be questioned, since Sen
ators themselves have told the cirCum-
stances and related conversations which
have taken place between them and the
men who have tried to bride them.
And while perhaps no person in the
country honestly believes that any Sen
ator has accepted money for his vote or
influence, there are those who, for
political effect, would never hest
tate a moment to make the charge
that schedules had been changed by
Senators who had been we'll paid for
doing so. To stop all talk Of that kind
Which might be INDUCED IN, TO free the
Senate from all faint OF scandal, and in
Justice to the Senators, Investigation
should be had. Not only should the
subject Of cash bribery be care
fully Investigated, but the charges
that the course of Senators has been
guided BY the sugar trust, and all the
charges Of a similar nature which have
been made for the purpose OF a reHec-
tion on the integrity Of Senators should
be thoroughly and fully investigated.
The investigation is due the Senators
and is due the people, and IL should be

fof EV every man to buckle
on L 5 armor and enter the fight once
more with a determination to win. The
party will yet triumph. The sentiment
Of the country is just as strong as ever
in favor OF tariff reform and the course
OF half a dozen Senators who have
dared defy their party and compelled a
compromise Of principle, must not be
allowed to change the policy OF the
Democrats. Nor should the failure,
under these circumstances, to pass a
satisfactory measure discourage Demo
Gratis. Rather should it encourage
them 10 renewed efforts and harder
work. See TO it that men in harmony
with the party principles are nominated
and then turn in and elect them. In
shat way, and in that way alone, can a
victory for Democracy be gained. 1t is
no time to sulk, no time to give up
hope. 1t is time TO 60 to work and
leave no stone unturned for the success
Of the party, and II every Democrat
will do this the pledges Of the party
will yet be fulfilled and Democratic vic
tory be assured.

DON'T BIZ DIsCOUEAsED.

MrC.LTHoNPsoN says the Democrats
in Kanawha and adjoining counties are
disheartened over the course the Demo
cratic Senators are pursuing Aad so
are many other Democrats. But this is
NOT the time TO be discouraged or 70
give I'D tho fight for the principles Of
the party. On the contrary every Demo
crat should nerve himself TO even harder
work than he has ever done before, and
should make more determined
effort than ever before 10 see
the Democratic cause triumphant.
Because few men in the Senate have
not done what an overwhelming ma
iority OF their party have deemed pest,
there is 10 reason why the whole pNrtY
or any member Of it should surrendefNo
protection. The cause OF tariff reform
and al the principles Of Democracy are
inst As dear to-day to the hearts Of Dem
ocrats as ever. The party stands where
il has always stood. A few Of its repre-

CLEVELAND, o. May 1.-THE wage
scale FOR paddlers was taken up to-day
by the Amalgamated Association or
Iron and Steel Workers convention,
but very little progress was made. The
delegates positively refused to say what
the scale will be or how soon it will be
completed, but from words dropped by
some OF the members the Inference is
taken that the convention will be ia
shape TO adjourn Friday night or Sat-
urday morning. During the morning
session Mr.. Christian, Of New York,
Secretary Of the Federation OF Labor,
came into the hall. He was invited TO
address the convention. Mr.. Evans
spoke OF the warm feeling existing be-
tween the Amalganated Association
and the Federation OF Labor as pre-
cursor Of still closer union in the future
and the consequent strengthening OF
LABOR interests. President Garland
responded voicing the sentiment OF Mr..
Evans and expressing bright hopes for
the future of labor. At noon the con-
vention took recess until o'clock

PITTsBUEG, PA, May 17.-There is a
report current among local iron and
steel workers that the most important
business to be brought up at the Cleve-
laud convention OF the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron and Steel Workers
will be the advisability of a national
strike In the iron trade. All OF the OFF,
cials Of the Amalgamated Association
are in Cleveland, but the workmen
locally say the project has been under
consideration for several months. The
organized workmen who have original
ed the move have chated for long time
under repeated reductions.
The nOn-union workers have become
as dissatisfied as the unionists over the
present condition OF affairs and invita-
lions to cooperate extended by the or
ganiZerS OF the Amalgamated Associa-
tion Of Iron aud Steel Workers are Gag
erly accepted. For the purpose Of
stirring up general strike sentiment
for higher wages, trusted organizers
have even been sent east OF the Allie
gheny mountains TO Steston, Harris
burg, Scranton, Philadelphia, Potts
town, Bellefonte and other manufacture
ing cities to sound the workingmen and
see whether they will join.
A part OF the plan is TO have the
Cleveland convention adopt the sixty
day limit scale so as TO prevent any
charge OF violation Of contract by the
manufacturers az would be the case II q
yearly agreement was made.

The Philadelphia Press, talking OF
''the remorseless grip" of the sugar
trust, says that times demand "a halt at
Washington" As the Democrats with

in the Senate, have cut down the Nc
Kinley bounty allowed the trust to just
oue-fourtb, or, to put it in figures. from
500. 600, 600 TO s., OOO, 600, the halt" the
Press calls for must be against further
reductions That sort OF a halt would
be natural TO that side. The Repubii-
cans created toe sugar trust, gave it its
power by lavish subsidies, received big
campaign contributions il return, aud
now stands ready 10 defend it. Instead
Of hating we hope the conference bill
will strip the trust Of every penny of
protection. Every cent Of duty il gets
on refined sugar is q tribute to McKin-
leyism.

WEST vIRaINIA MINERa.


with the underpaid coal miner. He is
about the poorest paid laborer In the
country and bis work the hardest. He
has been forced down by inscriptions
operators until he often can not make
living, no matter how hard he may
work, at the wages ne receives. DE
ougbtsto have better pay and the REG
IsrER would like TO see him get il. But
the West Virginia miners should not
be called upon TO help the other
miners IN their demands FOR bet
ter pay. No one has ever yet
helped them increase their wages
but on the contrary the reduction OF
their pay has been the result Of comps-
titlon in other districts. Railroad dis
elimination against the West Virginia
operators has enabled those Of other
States to uudarsell them, and the West
Virginia miners had TO take reduced pay
or get none. No help has ever come
10 them from men in other States. Th0y
have been left 10 shift entirely for
themselves, and that is what every one
OF them should do under the present
circumstances. Those who have acted
on that principle have seen already
the wisdom Of their policy, and
while the strike has not been
settled, they are doing better
than for many months before. The
REaIsrER.on yesterday called attention
TO the enormous demand which has
sprung up for West Virginia coal, 4
demand which makes the business Of
two Of the largest railroad systems of
the State unprecedented and gives en-
ployment to all the men who can find
room within the mines. And very nat
urauy the demand for coal has been
succeeded by Increased pay 20 work
men. In the FairmOnJ region the
wages of all or nearly all the men have
voluntarily been increased by the com
panies which employ them. What is
paid in the Flat Top field the
REGISTER is not prepared to say, but if
the wages have not been increased the
great demand for Fiat Top coal will soon
enable operators to pay better prices
and they will not forget to stand by the
men who stood by them. The Norfolk
and Western RY. Co., which handles all
the coal which is mined in that field,
has restored the wages Of its employees
which were paid before the cut The
West Virginia miners are right in look
ing out for their own interests, and
many OF them have found that their
best interests forbid strike.
The rest OF them, who never get
assistance from these other States,
would doubtless fud the same to be
true with them. The Ohio and Penn
sylvalia fields are rivals of our own:
the Pennsylvania and Ohio operators
and miners are both looking out for
their own interests and have no thought
OF West Virginia, nor is there any rea-
son why West Virginia miners should
play into their hands and Join the strike
when they can benefit themselves more
by staying out. The strike IS still on,
and will probably remain on for some
time. The West Virginia miners who
are as work are reaping rich harvest,
and the rest Of them might do as we'll if
they would go TO work.

That GAINESVILLE Game.

GAINESVILLE, o., May l6.
7ethS Editor or the Register:
SIR:-I saw an account In yeur paper
where Martins Ferry denies their de-
feat here on May 10. l will give you
particulars OF the game. The game was
called after the first half OF the sixth
inning on account OF rain. At end Of
fifth inning the score was 5 TO In IA
vor of GAINESVILLE. Martins Ferry
went to bat in the sixth inning and
made two scores. This made the score
stand 6-5 in favor Of Martins Ferry.
The home team went to bat, but before
Martins Ferry's pitcher had delivered
a ball over the plate the game was call
ed. They then tried to get their UNI
pire, who was substitute, to give them
the game 90. This, as ell ball players
know, will put the game back to the
fifth inning, when the score was 81 in
favor of Barnesvile.
Yours respectfully,
ISAAC AND0HN,
Manager 3. b. Club.
