Before Be2nn.

Information about the statement that he
would contest the election OF j. l.. Rawlins

one vote in the interest of silver, is some
thing that his friends should consider well
before taking action.

DURFEE'S DEFALCATION

Van Cleave. the new superintendent, all

tanning to his Office. ard holding receipts
from the auditor, showing he had paid
into the state treasury about half a mil
lion dollars, the cash income Of his office.
Mr.. Durfee, in the four yeare of his in
cumbency, received of public moneys
$72S,s94. The difference between the re-
ceipts at $50997S is the amount of cash
still remaining in Mr.. Durfee's hands
or at least withheld from the state, its
rlghtful owner, and it was at the time Of
his retirement the amount that the last
insurance commissioner failed to pay.
He was at that date $21S,91S short in his
accounts
The Post also prints letters from Insur-
ance Superintendent Van Cleave and
State Auditor Mccullough outlining
these claims.

DURRANT'S DEFENDER
A Prodigious But Not Very Competent
Liar

SAN FRANCISCO, May PA letter
was received from w. T. Bryant, the old
soldier who recently swore to a sensa-
tional affidavit to the effect that he saw
Rev. ]. G. Gibson, pastor Of Emanuel
church, carrying the body of woman
up to the belfry on the date of the
Blanche Lamont murder, which effect
ually disposed of that document and
proves the unreliability Of the writer.
Although this letter wac mailed at
Monte Vista, Col. four days after Bry-
ant made his affidavit, he states he never
saw either Gibson or Durrant, to his
knowledge. but that two women, Her.
rietta Bigsby and Hester Hicks, had Of
fered him $4,000 to ewear that he was in
the church at the time when the murder
was committed and that Gibson COM
mitted the crime. Nothing is known of
either woman, and in the light OF recent
events Chief Lees has no hesitancy in
pronouncing Bryant a prodigious liar.

Committee on Interstate Commerce
practically agreed today upon the final
amendments to the Foraker pooling bill.
which there will be an effort to have re-
ported at the next meeting of the COM
mttee, to be held a week from today.
The vote taken on the anne ndments to-
day leaves little doubt that the commit
tees recommendation will be favorable
| to the measure when-reported. The bill

lead as follows:
THE effect of any order of disapprov-
al, whether made upon the investiga ton
and consideration of any such contract
in the first instance or in any subse-
quent proceeding after the same has
gone into effect shall be to render the
contract to which such order relates
unlawful and -enforceab Bile after the
date SO fixed, except as to any claims
between the parties to such contract
arising prior to that date
There is also an important change in
the provisions relating to favoritism in
the way Of rates. false billing. classifi-
cation and weights. In the original
bill the offenders in either case were
made subject to punishment only by
a fine of $4,000 and for only one offense.
| The section is amended so as to pro-
vide for a fine of $4,000 for the first Of
fense, and "for either fine of $4,000 or
imprisonment for one year for each sub.
sequent offeuse.

IN THE LAND OF HARD TIMES.

From the Palace of Ease my lady set out,
Her carriage wheels shoue in the light;
Her fields lay fertile and green about.
And she wonders how any blind soul could
doubt
That God rules over in might,
And She marvels greatly how sin and shame
Into this fair world came.
There gazed from window across the way
A creature pallid and gaunt
Her cheeks were hollow, her face was gray
And hard, deep lines by her hard mouth lay,
For she dwelt in the House of Want.
And a look like q curse came into her eye
AS my lady rode by
She hated the world that had used her ill
She was bitter with discomfort;
| She was weary OF toll in the dull tread-miN
Where she wasted her life in the effort to fill
The mouth of that monster, Rent
| She hated the owners of acres broad,
And she doubted God.
Oh, woman, weary Of toll and pain,
No wonder your heart is gall.
God gave His people a wide domain.
He gave us the seasons, the sun and the rain,
And room and food for us all.
II is man the author of selfish crimes,
| who brings hard times.
Oh, Lady Fair, in your Castle Of Ease,
You are happy and well contents
But what would you do were you one Of thes
Who toll and suffer and starve and freeze.
To fatten the monster, Rent'
Yet God rules ever, and right some day
Must have its way.

THE N0BLEsT MEN,

The noblest men that live on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who becked by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and till the soil
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows king or warriors fame.
The working men, whate'er their task,
Who carve the stone or bear the hod-
They wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal Of God;
And worthier are their drops Of sweat
Than diamonds in coronet,
God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities OF the plain
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main
God bless them, for their toilng hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.
There's glory in the shuttle's song,
There's triumph in the anvi's stroke,
There's merit in the brave and strong
who dig the mine or fell the oak.
And man is never half so blest
As when the busy day is spent
So as to make his evening rest
A holiday Of glad content,
John McKe
