Difference in favor of Meyer. SO, 100 80
The reader will notice the great differ
ence in the amount of board bill of pris-
oners for the corresponding seventeen
months. out the saving will have great
er significance when it is stated that I'M
der Meyers term more prisoners have
been received and fed than under his
predecessor. and more days board have
been charged for. BY referring to the diff
ferent time books in the Sheriff's office
1t will be seen that during the first nine
months of Van de Vanter's term Of office
he received so cents a day for prisoners
board and charged up full days board,
even IL a prisoner had but one meal, while
under Meyer the rate per day Is but 40
cents, and where a prisoner has but one
meal the County is charged but for half
day.
In the accounts that went through the
hands OF the Commissioners many Of the
articles accounted for by the present ad-
ministration are for necessaries that
should have been furnished when the couu-
ty building was constructed. For instance,
an item of $3.50 for steel screens for
window protection, and that of repairing
defective plumbing, which is SIPS Be
sides these items. Mr.. Meyer was forced
to lay out $2l2 for scaffold for the rea-
son that the old one had been used for
kindling wood. notwithstanding there was
prospective hanging on hand. The rope
In connection with the scaffold had been
appropriated in the gymnasium, in the at
tic Of the courthouse
When Mr.. Meyer went into office he was
forced to purchase guns for his men,
amounting to $1,000. as the old admins
tration did not leave one in the Office.
Mr.. Meyer has furnished at his own ex-
pense all the coal used in the Jail kitchen,
as also all repairs on kitchen range Not
once has he used county funds for any
thing not strictly a charge against the
county. An investigation Of the records
will verify these statements. This was
not the case with his predecessors

ABsyRD. RUT ~ 0UrRAnp

Half an hour is a brief allowance fer
holding convention, nominating the
candidate, getting the nomination pa
pers across Boston harber from East
Boston, and filing them at the state
house, but that was all that was all
lowed in the third Suffolk senatorial
district, and two rival conventions did
the work in twelve and fifteen minutes,
respectively. Ex-Alderman Donovan
had secured two thirds of the dele
gates at the ward caucuses, but the
democratic district committee, whose
candidate was the present Senator
Rourke, planned to prevent Donovan's
nomination by calling the convention at
4.9o p. m. Thursday knowing that the
time for filing the papers with the sec
rotary of state expired at o'clock the
same day. The result was that two
conventions were held in the same East
Boston hotel, and the nominations
TANNED through" Then began a re-
lay race from the East Boston hotel
to the state house. A college foot ball
man, fast tug and crack bicycler
were Rourke's messengers, and when
the bicyclist reached the state house.
he collapsed. Donovan's certificate of
nomination was carried by a single BIZ
cyclist, who crossed the bay in a ferry
boat, and broke his wheel on Hanover
street, but reached the secretary Of
states office in ample time, though well
nigh spent with running. Now the
ballot commissioners will have to de-
eide which is the regular nominee. This
absurd story should not have been pos
sible. The law should prevent SO de-
liberate an attempt to deprive man of
his political rights and to defeat the
will of the people as expressed in the
caucuses.

A PARTY WITHOUT a Foley.

A pertinent question is raised by
Washington correspondent, who asks
of what use would the control of the
national house of representatives be
to the democrats, who have no settled
policy in any Of the important issues
of the day. One faction is rabid on
the silver question, while another is
timid and faltering. In ths campaign
literature which is sent out from Wash
ington, the democratic national com,
mittee dares not take a decided stand
on imperialism, because there is so
much disagreement among members of
the party, in and out of congress. )"
They are not criticizing the war ad-
ministratien either, but Only printing
''the criticisms of Others" They do not
attack the principle of protection, but
only the Dingley tariff as an Improper
application of it. OF Hawaiian annex.
alton, the campaign book says moth
ing, because that issue is settled"
Now supposing the democratic party
should come into power is there any
definite and positive achievement to be
expected Of it? Is it reasonable to sup
pose that the people will reinstate in
the nation party which, if the dis
credited free silver plank be excepted,
has no definite policy or program to
offer for the future, and no record in
the past but laundering, incompetence
and stagnation?

ers will cost $22,OOoiOOO, But the orux
Of the problem is, who shall pay for
this? The renovation is Inevitable if
the city is to be made habitable, but
shall the United States government as
sumo the responsibility and begin the
reform at once, or walt for the slow
moving and as YET non existant Cuban
government to undertake the enter
prise?
How acute the situation is may be
learned from DR.. Brunner's health re-
ports FOR the last four months, Since
July / there have been an average of
20 deaths a month from yellow fever.
and an average of los from typhoid fe-
yer. In the first thirteen days Of octo-
Der there were So deaths from perni-
eieus fever and 145 from malarial fever.
Since the beginning of the year, 224S
persons have died of tuberculosis, a
fact which must stagger those who
have asserted that Havana is premis-
ing asylum for censumptizes
Much of the sickness has been due to
inuEOpe .and insufficient food. Though
there have been no deaths from starva-
tien during the present month, the
number assigned to this cause for the
year is 24Os, and 2o1 have been due di-
rectly to it. In addition, there have
been 1852 deaths from enteritis.
1t should be understood that all these
figures apply to the city proper, and do
not include returns from the military
hospitals. Unless prompt action is ia
ken, the fate that awaits the American
army of occupation, month or two
hence, is not pleasant to contemplate.

SILVER WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. selcher Pleasantly Surprised
at'Grange Hall.

Surprises will happen, and the sur
prise which awaited Mr.. and Mrs.
Belcher at Agricultural Hall, last eve
ming, was indeed a pleasant one. In
spite of the rain 800 people assembled
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs. Herbert Belcher's wedding.
The committees from the Worcester
Grange, Stella Chapter, and Daugh-
ters of Rebekah and other friends who
arranged this pleasant affair. waited
very patiently from about 1870 till 3,
when the band began to play a lively
wedding march, and Mr.. and Mrs Bel
lows, followed by Mr.. and Mrs. Bel
cher, Mr. A. M. Parker and Miss Ad-
die Coburn, Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Har-
rington, Mr. It. A. Harrington and
Miss e. Savels, entered the hall.
After Mr.. Bellows, master of the
Worcester Grange, introduced Mr. and
Mrs. Belcher to their friends, Rev. Dr.
]. e. futile welcomed them and pre-
sented them with gifts. AS soon as Mr..
Belcher responded, there was a formal
reception, and no sooner was this over
when all pressed forward to see the
beautiful gifts which stood arranged
upon the platform.
Among the presents We're hand
some China cabinet, presented by the
Odd Fellows, Daughters of Rebekah
and other friends; two mahogany
chairs from their children, two dozen
and half of spoons from Stella Chap
ter; one dozen forks, from the Wor-
cester Grange; cut glass berry dish,
from friends in New York, and numer-
Gus other gifts from friends.
After all had observed the gifts to
their hearts content, an entertainment
was listened to, which was then fol-
lowed by dancing. Refreshments were
also served at the close of the eve>
ming.
Among some of the guests present
were City Solicitor Arthur p Rugg, Mr..
and Mrs. Hayter, Alderman Henry
Brannon and wife, Gen. r. III. Cham
berlain, Councilman Heath, Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. p. Kingston, Mr.. and Mrs.
Adm A. Hixon. Mr.. and Mrs. James

brought to justice. Tammany brought
up the Raines law as reproach, and
Roosevelt proceeded to champion that
law and show wherein the state and
city had profited by it both morally
and financially. Meanwhile, Croker
made the blunder of his life, by repu-
diating Judge DAILY, threatening the
purity of the judiciary and olacklisting
the bar association because it had de-
nounced him and eulogized Judge Daily.
Here was an issue of momentous con-
sequence, for the state had already set
the seal of it's condemnation upon the
Elmira senate steal and upon Judge"
Maynard, whom Hill had once so au-
daciously and impudently nominated.
Roosevelt has not been slow to see his
advantage. The result is that the DEM
ocrats are on the run. They are
branching out into national issues,
whichlthey declared had little OF, moth
ing to do with the state campaign, and
are in vain search for question on
which they may take the rough rider
at disadvantage. In national ques-
tions they are utterly at sea, for they
dare not talk free silver nor dare they
speak unequivocally Of imperialism.

THE ELks BENEFIT.
No Auction sale of Tickets viii be Held
This Year.

There was a meeting of members of
the Worcester Lodge of Elks at the
Bay State House last night for the
purpose of discussing the most advis-
able means of serving the public in
connection with the Elks' public bene-
fit, Nov. 8.
The meeting was called by the COM
mittee in charge of the benefit, who de-
sire to do away with some of the OBJ
tionable features that have accom-
panied the sale Of tickets for the an
nual entertainment in years past.
The idea that has gained credence
among many people is that the enter
tainment is given by the Elks, for the
Elks, in a large measure, and this is
the idea that the committee wish to
correct. The entertainment is public
and the committee desire the public to
patronize.
There will be no auction sale of seats
this year, as has been the custom in
years past, and every effort will be
made to allow those purchasing adj
vance checks to have their pick Of
seats. The sale of reserved seats will
commence Friday, Nov. 4. The hours
from to IL will be devoted to ex-
changing advance checks for tickets
and during these hours no cash sales
will be made.
After IL o'clock cash sales will begin,
advance checks being also exchanged
as a matter Of course. No line will be
allowed to form before s o'clock.
The attraction for which contracts
were signed last night is Sol Smith
Russell, in Uncle Dick production
that has won the warmest approval of
press and public wherever it has been
given.
A number of advance seat checks
were given out last night. Those de-
string can purchase tickets from the
following members Of the lodge: J. w.

ROOSEVELT GAINING.

Theodore Roosevelt's prospects are
undoubtedly looking up. This is shown
not only by the enthusiasm with which
he is everywhere greeted in New York
state, but by the alarm of the Tam>
manyites at the boldness with which
he meets their every assault. He be-
gan the campaign, talking of national
issues. and the democrats demanded
that he should come down to state and
local questions. He accepted the chal-
lenge even before Van Wyck was able
TO make his first speech. He tackled
the canal scandal and promised not
only an honest administration. but de-
clared that past offenders should be

81 believe then and ! believe now,
that the Spanish officers in Santiago
got an intimation from home to sur
render the whole army and thus put
a stop to the war" So Gen. Shafter is
reported to have said in Chicago. 1t is
a bald guess, but there is an inherent
keeping with Spanish politics. Now
the Spanish politicians are busy throw
ing the blame for the Cuban fiasco
upon the army officers and bringing
them to court martial. This is the
sort of thing that is going TO make
