Corrupt Use Of State Money.

AN incident connected with the
roster deal, by which $4,000 was taxi
EN- from the state treasury to sustain
| the lettering Stoughton bank, has
| not received the consideration IL
merits. In brief, unvarnished truth,
the evidence Is: That the BOWS adj
vanced $4,000 on the roster deal,
drawing that amount from their bank
at Stoughton, in the panicy times of
| 1888; that they soon were cramped
for the money, and their bank in dam
ger of being closed up; that they de-
manded of the state officials that the
tottering Stoughton bank be made a
depository of state money, and that
$4,000 be at once transferred to said
bank that after dark, Attorney Gen
eral OConnor, Governor Peck, State
Treasurer Hummer got together and
agreed to the demands Of the Dows /;
that the next morning 10000 was
| carried from the state treasury and
placed in the Stoughton bank. Fur
ther. it is in evidence that this depos-
it was made under threat by the
Bows that they would expose the
roster rascality by which they had
been buncoed out of $4,000. The re-
cords show that subsequently z Hon
est John Hummer made draft up
on the Stoughton bank for part Of
the $4,000 deposited there; that said
draft was not paid; that second de-
mand was made, which, instead Of
being paid was sent to Governor
Peck, with Instructions from Dow
that he tthe governor), take care OF
it, that soon after Honest john
wrote to Dow for the draft, and it
was returned to the treasury unpaid.
Down to the time the Bows went in
to court with their claim against the
roster iobbers, this $4,000 of state
money remained the quavering
Stoughton bank, put there by order
of Peck. O'Connor and Hummer, eX-
pressly to replace like amount
which the Bows had invested in the
roster contract, under assurance from
the attorney general that it was all
right; and which had gone to pay
the debts Of the boodling gang, in
Guiding note of $500 endorsed by
Governor Peck. In all the history Of
the state there Is not more dishon-
est diverting Of public money to a
corrupt use than this.

Wool and the Tariff,

II Is stated on the authority of one

Is per cent. of the American wool
clip, there has been a decline in price
from L per cent. to IL per cent. with
in the thirty-flve days since the tar
III Bill passed, and wool put on the
free list. The decline ON all kinds of
wool since the advent of the Cleve-
land administration and the snbse-
quent prospect of free wool, has been
over ~ per cent, and during that
time the decline on fine woods alone
has exceeded 40 per cent. Although
woods are advancing in Europe
American woods are still going down,
and that at the time when our mills
are the busiest WOODEN mills In the
world; being crowded to full capaci-
ty to get all the advantage possible
from free raw material, while enjoy
ing Mckinley protection on their
manufacturers, rs the democratic re-
dnction Of manufactured woolens
does not take effect until Jan. lst
This condition explains the immense
importations Of foreign wool since
the passage of the democratic bill
putting that product on the free list
During Sept. 1884 mere wool was
shipped into this country than dur
ing any two months before in the
country's history.
