be called ohis afternoon. His attorney
With waive examination, and ask that
the prisoner be admitted to bail until
tine case is called for trial in the upper
court.
There rs no disposition on the part OF
Che defense, for the present at least, TO
make any stubborn contest They raise
mo question as 10 the wrong doing of the
had, bur their contention is that he was
on his way back to Boston when be was
captured. snd that practically all the
moneE has tseen returned. The balance
can b. readS.y made up.
On this ground the lawyers Will prob
ably ask that the case nse mol pressed,
or, II the district attorney refuses to
acc6de TO such a request, TO ask for a
very light sentence in thsreforwatory.
II there is a. disposition on the part of
the bank officials OF the officers of the.
Law TO Pnsh matters TO the extreme,
counsel for nc defense will probably put.
UP a ST III battle on technicalities.
Questions as to the jurisdiction of the
str tie c0urt will be raised. because of the,
Eact thatsInationai bank was concerned;
the charge of embeZZlement may also,
be dissstted, and there may be other
ISSUES raised, such as the taking of the
money at Farmingham and sending II

The "trip from Pennington, Me-, took
exactly Sc, en- hours. and other than the
crowds at;the different stations at which

out incident.
At the Onion station in ,this city
crowd Yf nearly 1900 people surged at the
gates RS the headlight Of the engine
flashed Ia sight outside the depot. BY
the fine the train had come to stop
half the crowd had managed to get in
side THE gates and crowded about the
Pullman. 1t took q force of nearly a
dozen policemen, assisted by the many
trainmen, to keep the crowd back, bat
again Inspector Collins managed to get
his charge through without hindrance.
A carriage was in waiting over on the
baggage room side Of the depot, and the
party was driven to the police head
quarters Here young King was asked
few FORMAL questions, his description
taken and other formalities gone
through, then, after a short consulta-
ton with Deputy Hanson, his father and
Lawyer Berry bade him good night, and
he was taken to the city prison and
lockedyup.
Samuel M. King expressed himself as

The increase of the expenditures of States
during the past twenty years has not only
been general. but large to be the
cause of solicitude. The increase has been
larger in some States than in others, but
in all the States of the North it has been
general In the State of New York the
expenditures by acts of the Legislature
have been increased from s9.s7S.214 I'm 1881
to $50, 100 022 i'm 1896. These expenditures in
clude the money voted TO public schools,
to the support of public institutions of
benevolent, reformatory and penal char
acter. The expenditures for the charitable
institutions of New York have increased
from ST. AS AL in 1881 to s.. sss 1913 in 1896. In
1896 half the expense of the Legislature
was for public printing and advertising,
the amount being s533. i35. In twenty years
a million dollars was spent in inquiries
and Investigations. Commissions have null
tiplied and single bureas costing as
much as a department did years ago. The
volume of business has increased some
what, but the number of persons who are
employed to do it has much more rapidly
increased.
to be true to some extent in Indiana. The
amount expended upon charitable institu-
tons, as a sample, is double that of twen-
ty-five years ago. True. these institutions
do more than did those of 1870, but for the
same work a larger amount of money is
expended. Salaries, as rule, are some
what higher, while official expenses are a
higher or
the putting up of official quarters in con-
nection with some institutions have been
very large, and the tendency is toward
luxurious establishments designed for the
entertaining of the friends of the officials.
These conditions will not be found in some
institutions in which the trustees have
done their duty but the bills for the fur
nishing of several of the insane hospitals
indicate larger expenditure than the OFF,
not officials.
The State is now asked to do things
which no one would have thought of In
that connection years ago. Recommended
tons for institutions are made upon a
scale which proves that those asking are
entirely oblivious of the taxpayers. All
sorts Of fads barnacled upon the state
treasury in some States, and their advo-
| Gates urging them in every other.
| Very naturally there is loud demand for
a halt i'm those States which have been so
| liberal that taxation has been doubled in
| twenty years. Taxes are no lower" was
| the frequent retort during the campaign
| upon those who said that prices generally
| had fallen so that the fall made little diff
| ference. Taxes should fall with the decline
in the price of commodities and service,
| and would had we not got into the vicious
| habit Of asking the State TO do more than
| IL should. The State cannot support all.
| therefore it IS simply justice to the vast
majority who pay taxes to make the public
| burdens as light as possible.

At the late election the Populists. Demo-
Gratis and silverites carried the State of
Washington by a fusion devoted TO reform
and the free coinage of fifty-cent dollars
1t was proclaimed that the new reform
combination would legislate in the interests
of the masses. Never were such promises
made. There was a United States senator
to be elected. Naturally it was expected
that the fusion reform would rally to the
support of one champion; but alas, there
were too many champions. Caucus and
however. senator was elected. The result
was followed by charges of rascality and
of vote-buying. Usually such things are
done by agents. 1t was different in the
Washington Legislature. The purchasable
made combine" which means that
twenty Populistic members made a gross
price for the whole lot. They constituted
ship In their zeal to realize the highest price
for the twenty votes, lists Of the purchas
able were given to the leading candidates
for senator. Senator Squire had list, and
at the investigation he produced il on the
witness stand All the names of those in
the alleged pool were given. Every man is
a reformer with a capital r." Every man
has howled about corruption and the wick
edness of the money power. But Squire
either did not like the idea of purchasing
a job lot of Populist votes like sheep in the
shambles or he had not the ready cash. At
any rate. he hesitated or delayed. While he
hesitated and delayed, the friends Of the
successful aspirant charged with MAX
ing up a Jackpot of $4,000. which, being
the only cash bid, was taken. Thereafter
by twos and threes, the members of the leg
islative pool went over to Turner. Finally
there was a caucus, and the twenty made
the nomination of Turner emphatic, after
which he elected.
An investigation of the scandalous rumor
was demanded. By mistake a few unpur-
chasable men were put upon the committee
Men who had not been bribed testified that
money was offered for their votes. Then
came Senator Squire with the list of some
purchasables for whom he was asked to
offer a lump amount. There is much ex-
element about the capital of Washington
1t is stated that the cause of reform of the
fusion-P opuistic brand will be retired for

The Cleveland Leader. which is as we'll
qualified to speak of the relations of the
President-elect. Senator Sherman and Mr.
Hanna as any paper in the land, says there
was no sort of an agreement between Major
Mckinley. Senator Sherman and Mr.. Hanna
to the effect that if the senator should go
into the Cabinet Mr.. Hanna should succeed
him in the Senate. The President-elect
wanted Mr.. Sherman in the Cabinet, and
he accepted because he desired to serve the
people and Major Mckinley. The gossip to
the effect that the senator will not go into
the Cabinet unless Mr.. Hanna can succeed
him in the Senate has no foundation in
fact. The friends of Mr.. Hanna desire that
he shall succeed Mr.. Sherman in the SEN
ate. but if he is not appointed it will not
make any difference with the senator. The
Leader declares with positiveness that Mr..
Hanna will not go into the Cabinet. AS to
what is called the ''Ohio situation the
Leader says there is no occasion for con-
Germ about it.

amendments be made embodying the rec

SCHOOL FOR SECONDHAND MEN
Sergeant COrrigan to Instruct Them
i'm the PawnbrOkers' Ordinance.

Superintendent Colbert says he has found
it difficult to enforce the pawnbrokers or
dinance with any degree of justice to all
those affected by it, and a new plan has
been decided upon for starting the law off in
its working. To-day Sergeant Corrigan
will begin working specially with the pawn
brokers' secondhand dealers. mortgage
loan men and others affected by the ordi-
nance Each one will be visited and in
structed upon the ordinance. and each night
the sergeant will report to the superintend-
ent the names of those instructed. 1t is
thought that il will take two weeks for Cor
rigan to explain the law to those affected
by it, but the law will be enforced SO far
those instructed are concerned, as soon
as their names are among those In Ser
geant Corrigans reports. Most of the reg
ular pawnbrokers and mortgage-loap men
already understand the law and some of
them are complying with 1t. There are,
however, about a hundred secondhand
dealers and others who come under the
provisions of the ordinance. to whom per-
sonal instruction is necessary TO an under
standing of the requirements.

FADs ABOUT CONVICT LABOR.

The statistics presented by the United
States commissioner of labor in a recent
report do not warrant the very general
assumption that the merchandise produced
by convict labor. under contract or other
wise. is increasing in value. In 1885 the
value OF goods made for the market by
the convict labor of the country was S2i.-
27l.07S while the value I'm 1895 was sl9.0i2, AZ
Certainly a decrease of s5,22s,606 in ten
years should allay the fears of those people
who are laboring under the misapprehen-
sion that the increase of prison-made goods
is going on in arithmetical progression.
There is yet another consideration: OF the
s190oo.OoO worth of prison goods 1880 coo
represents raw materials or the product
taken into the prisons TO be worked up. and
81. 900 represented the value added by
convict labor. In 1885 the convict wages in
all institutions were s3.5l2s10.
In the light OF these statistics the con-

SOME NEW HOUSE MEASURES.
Bill To Make the Terms Of City Ofi-
GERS Two Years.

Upon converting yesterday morning the
House spent half an hour on committee re-
ports but only those on rights and privi-
leges and county and township business re-
ported and the bills they handled were OF
minor Importance Then the roll was called
for new bills and was productive OF but
a dozen new measures. Among these WAS
a bill by Mr.. Harris giving the State q =
right TO condemn and pay for a right OF
way for the proposed sewer for the South
ern Hospital. Upon request of Mr. Harris
the rules were suspended and the bill
passed.
Mr.. Hart introduced bill changing the

Tomorrow the electoral vote of the sew
eral states for President and Vice President
will be counted in the presence of the men,
bers of the Senate and House assembled in
the hall of the House. The President of the
Senate will preside, with the speaker of
the House sitting at his left. The various
returns will be read by one of the tellers
of whom there will be two for each branch.
after the seal has been broken by the
President of the Senate and the papers
handed to him. AS the result of the votes
of the several states is announced the pre-
siding officer will ask if there is objection
to the vote. If there is not, it will be tabu-
lated. If one or more objections in writing
each signed by one senator and one
representative are presented, the Senate
will withdraw, when the objections will be
submitted to each branch for decision after
a debate which cannot continue more than
two hours. In case there shall be but one
lawful return. to which objection shall be
made, it cannot be rejected except on the
affirmative vote of both houses. If more
than one paper purporting to be a return
from q State shall have been received by
the Vice President. those votes only shall
be counted which have been returned in
accordance with the decision of any judi
cial or other tribunal provided by the Leg
islature. If votes are returned by two par
ties claiming to act under the authority
of the State. then it becomes the duty of
the Senate and House to decide, by an
affirmative vote of each. which shall be
counted. If they disagree the vote is not
counted. Tomorrow there will be no such
contests. When all the states have been
canvassed and the votes footed the Vice
President will announce the result. There
can be no debate while the two bodies are
in session
