WHAT SOME SENATORS THINK.
Views ON Charitable institutions nnt
Fee and Salary Laws.

Views ON Charitable institutions snd
Fee and Salary Laws.
There will be no change in our pro-
gramme as originally announced" said one
of the most prominent and influential Sen
ators. speaking of the charitable and COR
regional institutions. we will perfect and
pass our bills as pledged in the State plat
form, and we will require the Governor to
make the nominations before the adjourn
ment of the Senate SO that we can pass
upon them. If he selects the Republican
members from ~well-known and able Re-
publicans ali will be we'll; but if he does not
he will drive us to associate other State
officers with him to make the appointments.
Two years ago Governor Matthews prom
ised to appoint a Republican on the Sol
diers' Orphans Home board. The man
whom he appointed, is that sort of a Re-
publican who has always supported the
Governor, and during recent visits a. the
home, he has talked enthusiastically of
Governor Matthews's presidential aspira-
lions Just as any ardent Matthews Demo-
crat would. We do not propose TO have that
kind of Republicans to represent the party
in the boards"
81 Think said another Senator who is
deeply interested in the charitable and
penal institutions, chat there is a growing
feei1ng on the part OF MEMBERS, VINO nave
given attention to the matter, to put the
two prisons under one board, and the four
insane asylums under another. This would
naturally insure a more capable class of men
for trustees than would be obtained in
making so many boards-men big enough to
AVE a policy and to dictate the manage
ment-to be something more than the pas
sive supporters of superintendent and
wardens."
Il think we all feel that the Legislature
must pass a fee and salary bill,' said a Re-
publican Senator, because 1t must be evil
dent that the people all are in earnest about
the matter, and more so now that the SUI
preme Court has made the decision it has.
The trouble with a fee system is that every
officer will construe the law and it becomes
no system. The salary law should be based
upon the business of the different offices
and, above the cost of the clerks necessary,
the m should have a liberal COM
pensation, but not a competency for the
rest of his life. A man should not be ex-
pected to assume the responsibility of a
county Office for two or four years at a
compensation which would be reasonable
in a permanent business. How can it be ar
ranged? Take the Office of recorder. 1t can
be easily ascertained how much work Is
done in a year. Make an wan for
the number of clerks absolutely necessary
and to it add a liberal compensation for
the same population and have about the
same business that 1t will not be necessary
to name each one as on the Democratic law
which was forged. 7 have not heard of a
county officers association to defeat a
salary law. 1t could have no influence ex-
cept to join in a movement to get a fair
law"

Legislative Notes.
WILL MOVE SOUTH.
big Cotton Factories Preparing to
Leave the Bay State.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-A special dispatch
from Boston to the Evening Post says
there has been presented in the House a
petition from the Mer-icmac manufacture
ing corporation for leave to increase it's
capital stock to $3.50. 0e0, and to do bust
ness outside of the State or Sin any part
of the United States as the words of
the petition have it. On Wednesday a
similar petition was presented in the Boot
manufacturing corporation, which is one
of the largest cotton concerns in New Eng
land. AS Wednesday was the first day on
which petitions were presented to the Leg
i~slature, it looks as if the cotton mills
were getting ready to adopt this policy.
The first to make this move was the
Dwight mills, of Chickopee, which got the
desired permission from the Legislature,
There are three motives which tend to
bring about this removal of mills from
the North. Probably the first of
where the raw material is close at
hand and where the supplies of coal are
of labor in the South and the fear Of
hostile labor legislation in the North. The
movement on the part of the Boot and Mer-
rimack mills is practically that of the same
body of men. The president of each corpor-
alton is Augustus Lowell, of Boston. and
Arthur 7. Lyman, one of the most infiuen-
tial of Boston's business men, is a director
in each. The Boot mills have total assets,
according to their report of condition on
Dec. Z, 1891. Of 1851 .S47.-of which s105. $50 is
in land and water power; $19. 900 is i'm build
ings and $5f1 ,923 is in machinery. The CAPT
tai stock is 81, 200 600. The Merrimack mills
have S400. eco in land and water power, $780,
Geo in buildings, 500, coo in machinery, and
81, Az. 900 in stock in process of manufacture
(by the statement of June lasD, and their
capital stock is $500, 600. The mills are
situated in Lowell, and are as ~welI-known as
any in the country in their line of business,
as their owners are at the head Of this
branch of New England industry.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Speaker will, to-
day, publish the following from it's Constan-
tinople correspondents: There is no doubt
about the essential facts of the Armenian
outrages. The official reports from the con
suls at Van, Erzeroum, Sivas and Diar-
bekir have not been published yet, but they
confirm the most horrible statements. In
addition to the reports of Armenians and
the Catholic and Protestant missionaries
in Sassoun. we have the testimony of
Turkish regulars who took part in the out
RACES and who, since their return, have
boosted freely in public places of their
deeds. There is no doubt that they exag-
gerate. For instance, one boosted
that he had ripped open twenty
pregnant women; while another de-
clared that he took part in the
massacre OF girls and women, their blood
running q stream from beneath the door.
1t is needless to accept such statements
literally, but they prove that such things
are done with the SultanS full approval.
Hundreds of these statements agree or the
essential points. The feature of The situa-
danger is that these men Were rewarded,

similar treatment of the Arnenians. Alarm

We're Punished.

81. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1.-THE trial
has been concluded at yiatka, capital of the
government of the same name, Of eleven
persons belonging to the sect known as
potiaks. They were accused of human sac
rifice in order to propitiate the wrath of
their evil God. Kourbad. The prisoners be-
long to the village of Starai-M Montana, sew
eral of them being among the leading in
habitants. One of the prisoners was seventy
years old. According to the evidence fur
nished at the trial, in March
they claimed. a recurrence of famine,
they inveiged a beggar into the house of
one of the prisoners, Moses Dimitrieff,
where the beggar's throat was cut. The un-
fortunate man was afterwards beheaded
and then his headless trunk was hung
up to the ceiling OF Dimitrieff's house and
five incisions We're made in the body. The
blood from these missions was caught in
dishes by the prisoners and the heart and
lungs of the dead man were extracted in
order TO be used in the idolatrous rites of
the Notiaks. The body was afterwards
thrown into a ditch by the highway. Three
them were sentenced to penal servitude for
life and others were deported TO Siberia.

general has his own plans, and while one
