A Full VOTE NEEDED.

1t ought not to be necessary to urge
the people to go TO the polls and vote,
but apparently it is. The duty is esq
pecially obligatory upon republicans for
several reasons. In the first place, it
is not only just but imperative that
the administration of President Nc
Kinley should have The endorsement of
full vote. 1t is due to the successful
conduct of public affairs at home and
1t is important for it's effect abroad. If
the administration had been incompe-
tent or vicious, this appeal would lack
the force which it now has. But it is a
matter of record that there was nothing
but praise for the Mckinley adminis-
tration till the election canvass began,
and the fair and obvious inference is
that the recent attacks are of trans
parently partisan character and are
without the valid foundation of fact
and justice. Especially desirable is it
that the republican majority in the next
house of representatives should be as
large as possible. AS Congressman
Moody said here Tuesday night, the
man who is not with us, is against
sound money and protection, whatever
his personal opinions may be.
Then as regards the state ticket, the
people owe it to themselves and the
| commonwealth, to express due appre-
citation and frank approval of an adj
ADMINISTRATION that has been so clean,
nd Gn1
ents find nothing in it to criticise. Mas
sachusetts people little know what they
have to be thankful form this re-
spect, until they cross the border and
sample the politics and government
practiced in other states.
Finally, each town and eacn ward
of a city has direct and, as it were,
personal interest in polling as large
vote as possible. for the number of
votes cast next Tuesday will deter
mine the basis of representation of
the town or ward in the various con-
ventions to be held next year. This
is consideration which brings to every
legal voter a realizing sense of his own
| responsibility for the weight and au-
thority exerted by his own town or
ward in political affairs. The need of
effort to call out the voters will be en-
phasized by comparison of the vote
cast for congressman, two years ago,
with that cast for governor, last No
vember There was a falling off of
nearly 50 per cent in a single year. 1t
is time to wake up.

BANK CoNS0LLnAr10n

While much is being said, and with
considerable force, in favor of the es-
adjustment of branch banks in the
south and west, it is to be noted that
in this country, as well as in England
the tendency is strongly toward consol-
idatiol of banking interests. Abroad,
large banks have absorbed many small
er ones, and the same system of build
ing up powerful institutions with heavy
deposits has been favorably regarded
in Chicago and New York, and notably
in Boston.
Comparison of the latest returns of
the joint stock banks of England and
Wales, with those of ten years ago.
shows that the number has decreased
from one hundred and ten to ninety
within that period, while their deposits
have increased 20 per cent.
In New York city some of the big
downtown banking houses have de-
sired to open offices uptown simply as
"a matter of convenience to themselves
and their customers, but these requests
have been refused by the treasury de-
partment on the ground that the es-
Establishment of such offices would be
contrary to the law, which does not
permit any national bank to have a
branch

The New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser, commenting on the case of Mrs.
Botkin, who is to be tried in California
for causing the death of a woman in
Delaware, compares it with the case of
DR.. Graves, who a few years ago was
tried and sentenced to be hanged for
the murder of Mrs. Barnaby, and says
Delaware citizens protest against
the hardship and expense of compel
ling all the witnesses in the case to go
TO California for trial, but the Califor-
MIA court seems to be right in it's law.
There is a precedent. however, the 9TH
er way. DR.. Graves, who was accused
of sending poisoned whiskey by mail
from Colorado to woman in Rhode
Island. was surrendered by Colorado
without question and tried in Rhode
Island. The Colorado precedent seems
the better for public morals" The
Commercial Advertiser has mixed its
facts. DR.. Graves was tried In Colora-
do, where the poison was supposed to
have taken effect He was convicted,

settlement Of the matter work has been

settlement of the matter work has been

The attachment is for $4,000 in favor
of the Boston Dry Goods Company, of
whom the Bon Marche concern pur-
chased their material used in the MAX
ing up Of the wrappers, and the writ
was made returnable the first Monday
in October. During it's operation the
concern did an apparently large and
furnishing business, but the attach
ment, with the stringeney of the times,
have combined to influence the bust
ness. The company employed about rs
hands and made all grades of ladies'
wrappers for the local and wholesale
trade. William Grassie was the SUI
perintendent of the company, but since
August no business has been done.
The property is now under charge of
Deputy Sheriff James Early, who made
the attachment of the property and
holds the keys to the concern. The
concern was made up of local business
men, Israel l.. Currier, of telephone
fame, being at the head and president
Of the company.
Henry E. Hill has been retained as
counsel for the Boston Dry Goods Com
pany, the attaching party, which has a
claim for large amount.

Now that it is settled that Dreyfus is
to have new trial, the sooner he is
brought back to Paris the better it will
be for France as well as for the pris-
oner. There is no doubt whatever that
men who are, or at least have till with
in very recent period, been high in au-
thority, and who still possess great in
fluence dread the reopening of this
case. 1t is now pretty generally believ-
ed that a new trial will result in the
complete exposure of a horrible con-
spiracy, one that not only sent an in
nocent man to confinement on Devils
Island, but came near plunging the
country into civil strife. The trial will
take place if Dreyfus lives, and prob
ably there is truth in the conclusion,
which has already been drawn, that if
he should be found dead, it is doubtful
if the case would be reopened. There
have been rumors that Dreyfus was
invited to commit suicide at the time
of his arrest and conviction. While he
remains on the island it would be easy
to kill him and then claim that he COM
mitted suicide.

Newspapers and the public are inter-
ested in the statement that Chicago
man, whose name is as yet unknown,
has recently taken out a $4,000, 900 life
insurance policy. The story has an
apocryphal ring from the fact that the
amount is excessive for any one COM
pany to issue alone. A man could carry
S2000,0o0 in life insurance as easily as
$4,000 if he had an income large enough
to meet the premiums. or cash on hand
sufficient to pay for it all in advance.
But no one company would take him
for that amount without dividing the
risk, openly or privately, with other or
CARNATIONS.
That any agent could have secured
such prize and, after the deal, have
kept quiet about it, is also against the
story Earnest men are the agents, with
ample reason for faith in their calling
strong within them, and not bit dis
posed to hide such light as a $1,000,
900 policy, or the name of the man who
took it, under a bushel

France very sensibly gives Up the
Fashoda contention, but it looks as if
she intended, by way of revenge, to
press upon all Europe the question of
putting an end to the exclusive British
occupation of Egypt. There was a
time when other nations, especially
France. had an opportunity of sharing
responsibility for the administration of
Egyptian affairs, but they all declined
and England has now borne the sole
responsibility so long and expended so
much blood and treasure in the enter
prise that withdrawal is about the
last thing to be thought of in that
country.

Next Tuesday, for the first time,
Worcester will vote under the four
precinct system, and It behooves every
voter to find out what precinct he 'is
att Any other time than election day,
it would occur to everybody that four
precincts are not the same as three
precincts. nor yet the same as two
precincts-not the same. But exper-
fence teaches that on election day
many voter will wake up to the fact
that he is trying to vote where he
has no right to vote. If you will look
at your tax bill, you win find the num-
Der of your precinct printed on it, and
the newspapers and posters will tell
you where the polling place for that
precinct is located. Paste this on your
spectacles.

LOVE AND SCIENCE.


The Mothers Child Study Club held
their regular bi-monthly meeting yes
terday afternoon. at the home of Mrs.
c. H. White, at the Worcester Acad-
envy The principal feature of the
meeting was a paper. eon child study
read by G. e. Partridge of Clark Uni
versity. In his lecture Mr. Partridge
spoke of the effects Of child study, and
stated that the many objections attrib-
uted to child study because of its dis
astrous effect upon the students, the
child and science, were caused by the
too hasty acceptance of results of In
vestigation and especially Of specula-
ton in the field Of child study.
Mr.. Partridge. believes that true
motherly love is not lost If it is com
bined with knowledge. For surely ne
thinks that there is no special danger
of love combined with knowledge.
He then outlined the different meth
DDS ofichild study, and the first in I'm
portance he believes is jotting down
salient facts Of interest; then, secondly,
recording systematically the facts OF
development of mind and body. All
child clubs he believes ought to be
as Of new faith.

SEVENTY-FIVE CENT Gas.

Henry M. Whitney promises to sup
plyBoston with gas at rs cents per
thousand feet for Illuminating pur-
poses, and to substitute coal gas Of is
candle power for water gas of 25 candle
power. Accordingly, Mayor Quincy has
consented to a modification of con-
tracts, which viii allow three of the
Boston gas light companies, namely,
those Of Brookline. Dorchester and ia
maica Plain, to use this gas. The sup
ply, of course, is to come from the
works Of the Massachusetts Pipe Line
Company in Everett. and it is hoped to
have the gas running through the
mains by next spring. Cheap illumin-
ating gas, however, is not the only adj
vantage promised. 1t is proposed to
furnish gas for power at from one cent
to cent and a fifth per horse power
per hour, and for heating purposes at
fifty cents per thousand feet This is
a remarkable innovation. If the scheme
is adequately carried out, and there
now is no reason to suspect that it will
not be. it will place Boston within the
enjoyment of all the facilities of the
natural gas regions. Furthermore, it
is to be observed that water gas, which
has been charged with the responsible
ity of many deaths, will be entirely
banished, 1t may be added that Mr..
Whitneys original plan contemplated
the extension of the pipe line service
far beyond the limits of Boston.
