HOST DEsPIoABLK METHODS.


 
 Our contemporary, this morning, copies from a Phenix paper what purports to be report of the legis- lative committee appointed to in- vestigate the board of control As matter of fact, no such report is of record in the minutes of the legis- lature, and no such lreport has ever been made, so far as the legislative records show. The alleged report, 1t will be noticed, is a most peculiar affair. The object for which the committee was appointed was to investigate the actions of the board of control. The committee itself was overwhelmingly democratic. The board of control was composed of two democratic officials aud cue republican. The latter, Col. Nj. H. McCord, is a candidate for governor under the present administration. This alleged report finds that Col. McCord has been guilty of various and sundrY acts, which it is abso- lutely impossible for him to be guilty of without the two demo cratic officials being equally guilty. The alleged findings of the com mittee, as they appear in this al legged report, are in direct contra diction of the testimony introduced. The expert, Frank Meador, who was appointed to investigate the books of the board, says that he found nothing crooked against any mem- Der of the board. Mir. Meador is 6 democrat, too.
 Both houses of the legislature held session in secret, and the tes- timony introduced was read to the members. It was very voluminous and exhaustive, and after hearing it the members, by vote of 24 to 5, decided that the testimony was un- worthy of their action.
 Col. McCord denies, specifically each and every allegation which ap- pears in this alleged report, and avess most emphstically that all purchases were made strictly in ac-  cordance with law, after advertis- ing, where required, and that the minutes of the board will show that various acts, which he is indiyidu- ally charged with doing, are the acts of the entire board, and not those of any single member of the board
 Any fsir-minded man, even though hs be an enemy of Col. McCord, can not fail to see in this alleged report most fragrant injustice to Sn individual member of the board of control, and they cannot fail to see that it has been done for partI- san purposes, as the republican member of the board is singled out for censure, while the two demo cratic members are permitted to go unmentioned.
 If the object of the appointment of that committee had been stated to be 'to besmirch the reputation of . republican candidate for gov ernor," and if the committed had submitted such a report as it is credited with having prepared, but which it has never submitted, it could not have performed its work any better.
 It is gratifying to know, however, that a sufficient spirit of fairness and justice has pervaded among the members of the legislature to ignore the charges entirely, after they, themselves, had listened to the testimony, and this alleged re port would never have seen the light of day, except for the enemies of Col. McCord who secured it for the purpose of defeating his candidacy for governor.

GRAND SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

Pittsburgh G. A. X. Men Working ON n
Scheme for 1900 Encampment.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec, 21.-The initial
step toward securing the G. A. r. en-
campment for Pittsburgh in 1900 was
taken Saturday night by the Allegheny
county G. A. r. association, and the
plan will be agitated at the coming
Cincinnati encampment In connection
with the encampment. if it should be
held here, it is proposed to unveil a
grand soldiers monument to cost in
the neighborhood of 100000. The
Pennsylvania Legislature of 1895 passed
an act empowering each county to
erect a suitable soldiers monument at
the expense of the citizens, the neces.
sary amount to be raised by taxation.
1t is believed by the veterans herea-
bouts that 1900 will be the last year
for encampments. 1t is their ambition,
therefore, to have the organization
wind up its career in this city, and at
the same time take part in the dedca-
ton of the proposed grand memorial
to the nations dead.

Worth Apnreciated.

In his younger days the late Mr. W.
ii. Smith was usually present to see
the morning papers dispatched, and one
morning something at one of the Offices
had gone wrong, so that there was great
risk of that paper missing the trains.
Mr.. Smith, recognizing the difficulty,
threw off his coat, worked away as hard
as any of his subordinates and had the
satisfaction of seeing the vans leave
with just time to catch the trains.
He ewas afterward leaning over one of
the tables reading a paper, still in his
shirt sleeves, when one of the men,
mistaking him for mate, gave him a
resounding smack on his broad back,
exclaiming:
"Well, Jack, old man, we got that
lot away smartly." When "W. II. ="
raised himself, the man rushed away,
terrified by his blunder.
On coming on duty at night the man
received a note addressed to him, which
he concluded contained the sack, but
to his surprise it was to inform him
that from the end of that week he
would be a foreman. "W. H." had
sense enough to see that man who was
SO delighted at having accomplished a
difficult task for his employers was
made of the right stuff. Pearson s

SEEBACH AND THE AGENT.
A German Story of an American Attempt
to Boom Sewing Machine.


The following story, which was pub
lished in German in connection with
the death of Marie Seebach, the noted
German actress, shows very well the
conception of American affairs which
still prevails in Germany TO certain
extent. Seebach was here more than 20
years ago, and it is scarcely possible
that such an incident as is described
would have taken place then, but many
such stories are told in Germany today
as illustrative of American enterprise.
According to this reminiscence Marie
Seebach one day received message that
gentleman wished to see her. She
told the servant to send him to her
drawing room in the hotel, and when
he arrived he introduced himself as
certain Colonel Smith. Then he plunged
at the object of his visit and said that
he represented certain we'll known

"Oh, I've no objections to make to

perfectly correct and dignifed way"
och, it's in the most correct way
prgaible that propose" the visitor
continued, "and offer you $40, 900 for

"What have l to do in return?" ask
