NO ONE LIKES A HYPOCRIFE.

Morrill, was elected to the Office Of
Governor In 1894 after very hard and
bitterly fought campaign. Mr.. Lew
elling's administration was severely
denounced for It's liquor law enforce
ment policy. This was made one of
the principal issues In the campaign.
The ministers preached about 1t and
threw their influence to Morrill,. They
were made to believe all kinds Of vii
lainous stories about the policy under
the LeWelling regime. AS large part
Of the Republican stock In trade was
denuncistion Of the action Of the Pop
ulists on this question, it is fair to pre-
sumo that Morrill, was elected, among
other things, by a class Of people who
differed widely on the prohibitory
question, but who wanted the law en-
forced. Thousands of votes were OBJ
tanned for Morrill, on the ground that
he would more Stringently enforce the
law.
This implied agreement of MOrrills
with the people has been openly Vio-
lated from the day Of his Inauguration.
That his pretenses were falsely as.
sumed to catch votes has been clearly
shown ever since he became Governor.

ready been given were necessary to

If legislation cannot and does NO t
affect the value of coin, why is 1t that
two half dollars, four quarter dollars
and ten dimes have each and all passed
for their nominal value since 1853 the
same as they did before that year,
though their weight was then reduced
about per cent? And why is 1t that

were obtRinable. Last spring stories
were given to the press by Republican
officials, in which it was alleged that a
saving Of large sum would result from
Republican management Of the Peniten-
tiary.
Populists were loath to deny the
statement for the reason that the re-
moval of the federal prisoners to the
United States prison and the transfer Of
convicts to the State Reformatory re-
duced the population Of the Penitentiary
to the extent that no signal ability was
necessary in the management Of the in
stitution to materially reduce expenses
without seriously affecting the income.
In other words, the changes made have
placed the officers in such condition that
they should have had no trouble in cut
ting expenses below any previous figure.
Instead, however, the expenses we're
$15l, $3.50, against s148,9l6.50 in 1895,
sl3O, 1904 in 1894, $149,732.Ol in 1893
and $149, ,83O. 95 in 1892,
How on earth, with nearly 100 less
convicts to feed and care for, the ex-
penses could increase is more than any
body except a Republican officeholder
can tell.
A little information about the earn
ings might also be interesting. The
statement shows up as follows: 1893,
$50, 1886; 1894, S95,SS1.5S; 1895, S75,-
958. 46; 1896, $51, ,618.95.
OF course it is understood that the lat
ter part of 1893, all of 1894 and part Of
1895 the institution was in Populist con-
troll. During the entire year of 1896 the
Republicans had charge, and as result
the earnings were $4,000 less than they
ever were before.
AS the Populists alone were RESPONSE
bic for the conduct Of public institutions
in 1894 and the Republicans In 1886 1t ls
fair 10 compare those. years. Let us see.
Earnings: 1894, S95,SSl,5S; 1896, $751;
618.95; balance in favor of Populists,
$44, ,26263. Expenses: 1894, 39,486 Al
1896, s151, ,5733 balance in favor of Pop
ulists, $12,O86.86. AS both balances are
in our favor, the sum Of them-$56,3l .49
is the actual amount Of money that the
Populist management Of thePenitentiary
in 1894 saved as compared with the Re-
publicans in 1896. This is but one insti-
tuition.
These figures are taken from the re-
port Of the Republican State Treasurer,
