The ConqreSSman's Clerk.

We agree with some of our con
temporaries that there is too much
extravaganza practiced in our state
and national legislatures, and if
there is one to be condemned more
than another it is the congressman
clerk, who stays one thousand miles
away from the capitol and attends
to his private business, but draws
his little one hundred dollars a
month out of the public treasury
without giving any time to the du-
ties of the Office that he has been APP
pointed to fill.-Harderman Free

When President Cleveland conve-
ned congress in extra session, Au-
gust, 1898, Mr.. Patterson, who rep
resents the Tenth Congressional
District of Tennessee, rendered me
a position as his private secretary.
/ accepted the position, went to
Washington, remained there until
the 4th day of May, 1894, discharg-
ing my duties in the capacity of
secretary to the best of my ability.

From the 4th day of May, 1894,
until the adjournment of the regular

out my unexpired term, a stenog-
rapher, TO whom he had formerly
given work before the bill was pass

In November, 1894, Mr.. Patter-
son was reelected to congress. He
again rendered me the position as

THE Upton Record pub
lished last week an article,
showing that within the
last four years WOO, COM
handed a greater price when
the supply was largest. Our
contemporary seems to he of
the opinion that the instance
referred to proves that sup
ply and demand does not
control prices. If that jour
nal would keep pace with
Legislative acts, it would have
known that during the years
mentioned, when wool was
the highest, there was a du-
ty on that commodity which
is no longer a dutable article.
The effect on raw material
when the tax is off is the
same as on manufactured ar
ticles, namely, a reduction in
price.

tee show that no such in-
vestigation will be made.
Indeed, the committee are
satisfied with nothing less
than throwing out the whole
vote of precinct except 25
per cent where it is shown
that poll tax receipts were
not shown, but when it is
proven that the ballot box
was actually stuffed, it seems
that the committee consider
it only Il little irregularity
hence in such instances they
deduct from the Turney vote
and add to Minis or Evans.
the addition depending upon
whom the proof showed was
defrauded. Still the investi-
CATION is very necessary to
purify the ballot box. Even
in Fayette County, which
has arepublican majority of l.
200 or1, 500 votes, and which
in the last gubernatorial cleo
ton, as shown by the returns,
went democratic by several
hundred votes, still the
committee could find but
few irregularities. Instead
of indorsing such farcical pro-
oeedings, it would be better
for the Legislature, since it
has gone into the investiga-
ting business, to appoint
another committee to inves=
tigate the proceedings of the
investigating committee.

If it were not that since
1865, with the exception of
three years, there has been
an increase in the volume of
the currency, there would be
some reason in the assertion
that the need of more money
is what has caused a depres-
sion in prices. But if the
currency affects prices at all,
past events would then
prove that it would be better
for the country to decrease
rather than increase the vol
ume.

Harry Balch and George Lawrence Day.
the young men who figured here week
ago as college students from Dartmouth

Inspector Hollinberger thinks they are I'm
der arrest In Baltimore. This mornings
mall brought to the inspector from w. ].
Drew, who has ticket brokers' office at
20 North Main street, Concord, N H., the
following letter:
Il see by the papers that you have Harry
Balch and George L. Drew day in your
city. They are deserters from Fort War
rem, Boston harbor, and I want them for
larceny also. Let me know, please, what
becomes Of them. Ten dollars reward On
the desertion."
two young men had been arrested there for
attempting to pass bogus checks was also
received, and Inspector Hollinberger feels
confident that they are the men wanted
David Currier of the War Department
who let the men have 500 on one of the
bogus checks, went to Baltimore this after
noon with Detective Boyd to see the prjs-
Day. and that was why he let him have the
money.
Since then he has communicated with
Days mother, and was told by her that her
boy was all right and that Balch must be
the guilty one. Mr.. Currier thereupon con-
cluded to get Day, if it cost linn more than
the amount he lost, and Is willing to go
any distance for the purpose of identifying
him.
If the men arrested in Baltimore prove
to be these men they will probably be
brought here for trial.

The Revolution Promises to Lead to
Serious Results.
The impression prevails in both the State
and Navy Departments that the revolution

fore the internal troubles there are settled.
No advices have been received concerning
recent engagements. The State Department
has received from Minister Tillman at Qui-
to a dispatch dated July 20. which shows
what the situation was at that time. In 1t
Minister Tillrhan says that there are no in
dlcations of an early settlement of the COM
plcated political conditions of that country.
Alfaro, who reached Guayaquil on the 18th
or 10Th of June, was still there with an
armed force, amounting, as claimed by his
friends to four, or five thousand men. The
government FORCES at Quito was estimated
at 2,o00. which it was thought might be in
creased to 1000. The plateau between the
eastern and western ranges of mountains
was controlled at the time of Mr.. Tillman s
writing by the small army Of the conserva-
tiveS. .. - .

west of Quito, on or near the main road to
Guayaquil from Quito. The government
forces had captured fifty or sixty men from
the north of Quito. who, In company with
two hundred others. were trying to pass
to the south. Bishop Schumacher Of Por-
tiviejo, with three hundred and fifty men.
vas expected to arrive at Quito July 20.
There vas to be a procession in his honor.
and he was to be crowned by the arch
bishop with laurels and wreaths Of lowers.
1t seems that he had defeated a few hum
dred of the followers of Alfaro. Alfaro's
plans and his strength were, not definitely
known at Quito wneh Nj. Ti!..sslliian wrote,

M ~
ture of the revolution is that, with the ex-
ception Of a few officers OF leaders, the
armies are composed Of the poorest of the
population; that well-dressed men take
their daily walks and throng the plazas
unmolested and seemingly wholly disin-
terested as to the result.

CONSUL GENERAL JUDD.
State Department Oficials Discrcdit
the Report of His Removal.

State Department Omcials Discredit
the Report of His Removal.
In the absence of the President and the
Secretary of State 1t is impossible to OBJ
tain authentic information in regard to
the published report that Max Judd,
United States consul general at Vienna,
las beer- removed r.; officials Of the
STATE Department, including acting Secre-
tary Adee place no credence whatever In
the report for the good and sufficient rea-
son that there is no record Of any change
IN the Office in question and also because
of the further reason that there Is no
known dissatisfaction with Mr.. Judds ad-
miniStration.
That gentleman was appointed to his
present office over two years ago and at
that time it was stated that he was per-
soma non grata to the Austrian authorities
because of his being a Hebrew. That there
was no ground for this report was evil
denced by the action of the Austrian gov
eminent in granting him an exeQuatur
without any special delay. Since then no
complaints of any character have been re-
ceived at the department against Mr.. Judd,
and SO far as known there Is no objection
to his continuance in office. At any rate, If
Mr.. Judd has been removed the action was
taken directly by the President or Secre-
tary of State without informing the officers
on duty at the White House and State De-
partment.

machinery and running gear capable Of
standing the strain of one hundred and
twenty miles an hour as well as the bear
ings and machinery Of steam railroads are
able to stand the strain Of sixty miles an
hour, all that would be necessary would
be to have a track built as straight as
possible. and so constructed that 1t would
meet nowhere with any crossings. switch
es or other things which might at any
time prove an obstacle to the passage Of
trains and to permit neither grade cross
ings for railroad trains nor foot or car
riage passengers. Necessarily. to con-
struct such a line as this between New
York and Philadelphia would require a
viaduct or elevated structure for the whole
distance. There would be no stopping at
way stations and the belief Of the pro-
moters of the proposition is that the profit
will be found in the passenger Transports
ton between the two cities and by cars
running so frequently that no one will be
compelled to consult time tables any more
than he does when he wants to take troll
lcyS or the elevated railroad.
All of these signs seem to point that the
millennium of transportation Is approach
ing. and that electricity is destined to bring
it about pretty much as it is regarded as the
medium by which the ultima thule of all
other branches of mechanics will eventu-
ally be reached.

be entered into, at this time, without the
sacrifice of pride or principle to either side.
