WISE WORDS.

Justice Brown, Of the United States
supreme court, made a very wise OBJ
scrvatiOn when he said off wealth
will not respect the rules Of common
honesty in the use of its power it will
have no reason to expect moderation
or discretion on the part of those who
resist its entertainments" Everyone
must see that corporate and cOncen-
trated wealth is growing more AFRO
CANT each year. The answer which the
superintendent of the coal mine gave
General Workman Sovereign. Let
them starve and be damned: - the

the demonstration of silver and num-
prOuS other violations of the rules of
honesty and Of law indicate that. while
these wealthy institutions depend upon
the law for support, they are by their
example teaching the people to have
as little respect for it as themselves.
The wealth of the United States for
the last % years has been used to down
the middle and poorer classes Of this
great republic, and will continue to do
so until we eject a man Of the people
for President of these United States.

The items of S67.6O, sl6.25, 1913
and s1.25 in the above bill, paid to H.
l.. Woods all refer to the Talbot case.
Since July l, 1895, Mr.. Spencer has
made cash payments to Mr.. Woods
amounting to S130.35 for use in the
Talbot case, And in this connection
we refer to the article which appear.
ed in the MOnitOr-PreSS of the 10Th
inst. entitled "The Cost of Trying
Talbot" Bro. Campbell says:
County AttOrneyWOodS has certainly
prosecuted the case very economical
ly," And to show this he says furth-
er; "ln order to reduce the expense
as far as possible, he had the county
board make him. cash allowance of
$3.50, to be used in securing the attend
aDce of witnesses without process and
in advancing fees where necessary.
He has used up only s221.64 of this
and has saved to the county two or
three times that amount"
1t is fair to regard the Monitor
Press statement as Mr.. Woods state.
ment of this case. 1t is about as near
correct as either Campbell or Woods
ever get. Take his statement that
he has used only $22l.64 cash in the
TALBOT case. This is the amount
wrongfully paid to him by Mr.. Spen.
Ger in cash andnCharged to his ''inci-
dental expense account" The Mont
tor-PreSs strives to leave the impress
sion on the public that this is all the
cash that Woods has used in this
Talbot case. This is not the case
however. On April 5, 1895, the
county commissioners allowed the
bill of Fl. L. Woods for s2S2.29 for fees
and expenses outside Of his regular
salary. 1t is No. 324 of that session.
In it appear the following items:

Thus it will be seen that at the
April session of the board, Mr.. Woods
received sS9.4O for witness fees and
his expenses in the Talbot case. Add
this to tro. Campbell's s22L. "a and we
have sSll.4 instead of s22l,64. This
is about as near as the Monitor-Press
usually gets to the facts, however.
Now, what was the object or DUR

treasury for expenses for which the
county was not liable then, is not
liable now anC never will be.
5. Had not the law been violated
in this manner, in these instances,
Talbot would never have been tried
and the county would have been
saved thousands upon thousands Of
dollars in costs and expenses in that
case for which it is legally liable now.
Now let US take up these PROPOSE
tiOns, one by one, in their order. We
are aware that our first proposition
involves a general attack upon the
county treasurer's incidental ex-
penSe account" We know also that
this incidental expense account"
business is an old institution in Sum-
nea 3Ounty's court house. We know
that an attack upon that particular
institution will call down upon our
devoted head the condemnation and
excavations OF a long line Of present
and past county officials whose
"cOrns" may be trampled upon. But
the fact that fragrant abuse is so
ancient that it has become hOary-
headed is no valid reason why it
should not be exposed to the sunlight
of truth and crushed out. A public
wrong iSstill wrong, whether it be an
old one or a new one. A violation of
law that is participated in by many,
even though they be public officials,
is as unjustifable as a violation of
law committed by an ignorant negro,
if not more SO.
To show the frequency and extent
to which this incidental expense &C
count of the county treasurer is re-
sorted to in order to draw money out
of the county treasury, it need only to
be stated that Mr.. Spencers "inci-
detail expense account" bill allowed on
July l, 1895, amounted to S3S4.3O. 1t
is bill No. $50 filed July l, 1895. We
call attention to the following items
in it:

NOW THINK HIM INNOCENT.
Effort On Foot to Secure Pardon for
Turner Williams

An effort is on foot looking to the re-
lease from Albany penitentiary of Turner
Williams, colored, convicted October 26,
1894, of grand larceny from Peter II
Moore, and sentenced to three years I'M
prisonment. The people at the detective
bureau believe him to be innocent OF the
crime of which he was convicted.
Peter H Moore alleged in October, 1894.
that his room a the Dorsey Hotel, corner of
Seventh and ! streets northwest, had
been entered and robbed of sundry valu-
ables. Among the articles which he re-
ported stolen were pearl-handled re-
yolyer and a large amount of silverware:
He stated to the detectives that lie suspected
a colored youth Turner Williams, who had
worked for him.
Detective Boyd went 10 Williams room
and found a napkin ring of no value,
with Moore's name on IL. Some other ar
. ticles of nconsiderable value which had be
longed to Moore, were also found in VIII
Jams po session. Williams maintain ed
that Moore had given him some of these
articles, white Others he had picked out OF
the waste basket at Moore's place, where
they had been cast aside. Williams told
this story repeatedly and consistently, but
Moore swore that he had not given them To
Williams and on this testimony the prs-
oner was convicted.
The matter will be brought to the at
tention of the proper authorities within
few DAYS, and IL is thought that the
President will pardon the man now doing
