that the present difficulty has arisen. Salmon

For some years Messrs, Fottler and Adama

partnership and applied for a renewal OF the
saying that he was the virtual lessee and in-

And these when mode. with despot ways,

Yet not o hundred years ago.

To hddled measures. ahrilly sweet;
And merry rcvels were they. though
The girls were gowned in calico.
Across the flooring rough and gray
The gold Of scattered chah was spread,
Ard long festoons OF clover hay,
That struggled from the loft o'erhead,
Swung scented fringes TO and fro
Der pretty girls in calico.
They used TO go a.Naying then.

In sunny glade and sheltered glen,
And r bin fell in love. I know,
With Phyllis in her calico.

A hat curved over gypsy.wise,
And beads of coral and Of gold.
And rosy cheeks and merry eyes.

And hnds her oftentimes arrAyed

Chandler VS.. Gallinger

Representative of the United
States Civil Service Bureau began a
hearing at Concord. New Hamp-
shire, this week for the pur-
pose of investigating charges prefer
red against United States Senator j.
Ii. Gallnger, by former Republican
Governor A. Busiel, alleging viola
tious of the civil service laws during
the last campaign in that State. The
specific charge is that Senator Gal
llneer, as Chairman Of the Republ-
can State Committee, distributed cir
culars appealing to the Republican
ofice-holders for contributions to the
campaign funds.
Civil Service Commissioners j. &.
Harlow and Mark S Brewer, who
came from Washington Monday
night, are in charge of the lnvesuga'
ton. The first sitting was behind
closed doors, the attendance being
restricted to persons directly involved
one counsel for each, and the wit.
uesses, who were admitted one by
one for examination. Attorney Gen
eral Edwin G.. Eastman, Of Exeter,
appeared as counsel for Senator Gal
linger, and Edwin II. Shannon, of
Laconia, for Gov. Busiel.
COULD NOT SUMMON WITNESSES.
As the Commissioners have no
authority to summon witnesses, they
could do no more than request the
presence of those whom they desired
to testify. The only witnesses at
hand when the session opened were
Postmaster Knox, of Manchester;
National Bank Examiner Carroll, OF
Warner; T. +. Clifford, who was As
sistant Secretary of the Republican
State Committee during the cam
paign.
This investigation held to allow
the Commissioners TO examine the
evidence and to decide if it warrants
the further prosecution of the case.
IL they decide that it does, the
United States authorities of the De-
psrtment of Justice will be called IN.
The principal feature of the session
was long statement by Senator
Chandler.
SENATOR CHANDLER STATEMENT.
Senator Chandler came forward
with his statement, which be pre-
faced by a short history of his con
nection with political committees.
He said he retired from the Republi-
can Nstionsl Committee in 1851 and
from the State Committee in 1890.
Senator Chandler continued

1898 and again in 1896 that be ought

knew of this assessment. He said
he had reasons to believe that cir
cular for assessment had been sent
to oflice-hoders, and he produced a
circular which had been sent to State
officers, and said that some Of them
had been sent to Federal ollice'bol-
ders.
