the vote given him. I protest against the
members of this Legislature saying they
will do as they please about these leading
questions that affect the party's good. They
have no right to load the party down with
acts that will put the party on the de-
fens.ve in the next campaign. Any Re-
publican is only too anxious to see these
benevolent institutions in the charge OF
trustworthy Republican boards. but we pre-
fer to wait rather than to violate great
principle which the party has adopted and,
maintained in the Legislature and before
the people, viz, that the appointing power
shall remain in the Governor and shall not
be taken from him. W. H. HOBBS.

1t is said that, while the most of the
Republicans in the House were In ac-
cord with the features of the Cleveland
bond scheme, they could not bring them
selves to practically indorse the secret
contract with the bankers syndicate in
the form in which it was put.

The disposition to run everything into
politics has a new illustration. in the
present status of the State soldiers and
sailors monument. One would have
thought that a purely artistic work, an
enduring memorial of Indianas patriots
and heroes. might have been completed
without making of its every detail a po-
1itical issue, but that seems to be about
the complexion to which affairs have
come. The attempt to reduce fine art to
the level of partisan politics savors of
barbarism

The objection raised against the propo-
Sition to have the State tickets printed
in the counties using them, that it would
increase the chances for fraud ninety
two times. would have some force if
ninety-two congressional and county
tickets had not been printed without
complaint on that score. The cost of
having a messenger come after the bal
lots is no small item. Cass county, for
instance, paid $35 for that service at the
last election.

To an outsider the charge that Mr.. Nc
Bride, now president of the American
Federation OF Labor. and at the time
president of the United Mine Workers,
gave one OF Debs's men $500 to effect
settlement OF a railroad strike, would be
suspicious without any explanation. The
course pursued by Mr.. Mcbride in con-
nection with the coal strike indicated a
purpose TO do the best thing he could for
the miners. Consequently, when he saw
that the best thing was to have work re-
sumod at as high wages as he could OBJ

The railroad managers themselves
have given the public a good reason to
believe that passenger fares can be re-
duced when they sell excursion tickets
to Chicago and return for 81 and to Mia
CARA Falls and return for IS; neverthe-
less. the reports of their earnings show
that any interference to reduce their
earnings must result in a cutting off of
train service and other outlay which will
work injury to the men employed.

Washington dispatches state that in
the financial discussion on Thursday
Representative Walker, of Massachu-
sets. was refused an opportunity to
speak, both by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. This action was intended to ex-
at banquet in Philadelphia a few
nights ago, in which, referring to the
current bond issue, he denounced the
President as traitor and declared that
he ought to be impeached. A member
of Congress who uses such language as
that regarding the President of the
United States, without far better justifi-
cation than exists in this case, deserves
to be reminded that he has grossly vio-
lated the freedom of speech and official
propriety. The Journal does not regard
Mr.. Cleveland great statesman or
financier, but it believes his motives are
honest and patriotic. No doubt the re-
cent bond negotiation was bungled and
the President overreached, but that does
not constitute ground for impeachment.
An error of judgment, even though it
may prove q costly one, is not a high
crime or misdemeanor. and a President
may be a dreadful failure as financier
without being a traitor. The attitude of
the President. who is at least trying to
maintain the public credit, is far more
patriotic than that of Congress, which
is doing nothing.

1t Is charged by Republicans that Gov
ernor Matthews will defeat the purpose
of the Republican Legislature to break
up the partisanship which is enforced in
all but three public institutions in the
State by his bitter and narrowly parti-
san trustees, even if they enact a merit
service law, if he is permitted to appoint
the new boards, one member of which
shall be a Republican. 1t is asserted
that in one case where the board was
made nonpartisan he appointed an out
and-out Democrat and a Matthews Re-
publican, who is enthusiastic over the.
Matthews presidential possibilities, and
that in another case he appointed one of
those persons who call themselves Re-
publcans, but who vote the Democratic
ticket on such occasions as 1892. There
is reason to fear that he would put such
bogus Republicans on the boards, for.
while he is a worthy gentleman. Gov
ernor Matthews is not in sympathy with
any proposition which would put the
management of the public institutions
on business, nonpartisan basis. If he
were he would not have permitted the
warden of the southern prison to have
remained in charge after he had con-
fessed his dishonesty, as he did to
legislative committee in 1893. or the SUI
perintendent of the Southern hospital
after his habits were known. But these
facts do not warrant the Legislature in
taking from Governor Matthews author
ity which every lawyer who cares for his
reputation as such will say is conferred
upon him by the Constitution.

Zimmerman of Loganton, aged 30
years, forsook his wife and seven
children and clopcd with Mrs. Susan
Parker, aged about 50, of the same
place who also forsook husband
and two sons. They went to Lock
Haven, bought two tickets for Atch.

train for that place. In Pittsburg
they were arrested and brought
back to Lock Haven and lodged in
jail. Surely age has taken the

letter written to Jeweler Meyer of
this place we learn that Zimmerman
took $500 of his wife's money along.
