Poor Little kiuu.

The boy king of Spain is not loved
in Madrid. His presence in the streets
arouses no popular enthusiasm. At
times, when the guard is changed at
the royal palace, his troubled face may
be seen at a window. gazing out; but
no one cheers, and he remains almost
unrccognized. No hat is raised. or
other obcisance paid him by his sullen
subjects, when he rides abroad in mel
ancholy state! Among more gem
erous people, his youth, his misfor-
tunes, II consideration of the troubled
future which confronts him, would at
least awaken pity. His manners, which
are placid, almost inert, have in them
no attraction, His very looks are dis
liked. He is too blond in hair and COM
pleNion. "He is no Spaniard," say his
subjects of Madrid, and this-which is
to them II cause for reproach-will hard

A REMARKABLE TRIP.
The Extraordinary Voyage of A.
Ocean Liner In Trying
New Route.

The steamer Gnspesia. which was the
first to attempt TO reach London by the
new route via the Gulf of ST. Lawrence
and Milford Haven, Wales, had three
months of such experience as happily
but seldom falls to the lot of an ocean
liner. The dream of a certain group of
capitalists il over. for although the
distance is appreciably less by the way
proposed. the fate of the ship which
came lmping back into port ten weeks
after every one had given her up, will
cast damper upon all future efforts.
The Gaspcsia left Milford Haven on
January H. she made the south coast
of Newfoundland on the 18th, and en-
tered the gulf on the Goth, She should
have reached Paspebiac in one day.
The trip actually took six. 1t was
February when she started out with
her return cargo and three passengers,
in the very worst weather of an un-
usually bitter winter. She was caught
by the ice foes and held helpless. Keen
winds ragged about her and the rigging
frozc. The fires We're put out to hus
band coal. and every one on board sui
fered from cold. Her IS sailors were
clothed only for an ordinary winter
passage in the North Atlantic. They
did not know when they would be re-
leased or whether they might not be
driven from ship crushed like an
cggshell to wander over the shifting
foe to their death.
There are $4,000 square miles of the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. The Gaspesia
saw good deal of drifting to and fro
with the wind and current. Deliver
ancc came when the famous scaling
steamer Kite signaled the Gaspesia and
went to her assistance. The Kite likes
ice, she was built to resist il, and car
rics dynamite to blast her way through
It. By several days hard work her
crew opened way for the Gaspesia,
md she reached st. Johns nearly
three months out.
She was almost wreck, and the
crew and passengers were quite ex-
haustcd. II may be shorter by the new
route, but the chances are that or
dinary travellers will prefer the old, nj
though Nanscn might enjoy the trip as
prsctice.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

MILLIONS FORSHAVES
What It Costs to Keep Chicagoans'
Faces Clean.
The BARRIERS Bill for the Big City
L. Closely Estimated BY .
Member of the Pro-
fessiOa.

How much does it cost the male
population of Chicago in a year to keep
well shaven and shorn? This question
was asked in a downtown hotel barber
shop few days ago, and the answers
given brought out some astonishing
figures. Before anyone took time to
make any computation few guesses
were given, but all fell short of the
mark. The highest guess was 1880,
900, and everyone else in the shop said
the man who gave it must be mentally
unbalanced to place the figures so
high But the man with a lead pencil
and taste for figures, who is to be
found in every crowd, was there. and IT
was not long before he had shown TO the
satisfaction of all present that the
yearly BARRIERS bill of the Chicago men
is not less than S3,50O,0O0. This is the
way he did it:
How much, on an average, does a
barber take in day." The question
was addressed to the proprietor of the
shop.
"All the way from 50 TO 81 on dull
Wednesday to sl2 or sl3 on busy Sat
urday."
NO, that won't do. What is the av-
erage daily amount, for six days in the
week. taken in by each working barber,
on an average"
Then the proprietor did little fig
uring. The wages of the BARRIERS, he
said, ranged from $40 to sl6 week,
when they worked for boss BARRIERS.
The bosses, besides wages, had to pay
rent and all bills of expense for run
ming their shops, and figure on margin
of profit besides for themselves. 1t WAS
agreed that S2j a week was a fair basis
for computation as the amount taken in
in week by each barber.
Then the men in the crowd thought
the man with a genius for statistics was
up stump. How WAS he to find out
how many BARRIERS there are in big
city like Chicago?
But the fgurer was right at home
with the problem, He knew just how
to go n, ii. Jle got city directory and
turned over 10 the back. where lac found
list of BARRIERS filling several pages
three columns of names to apa2e. He
counted column. IL contained l29
names. There were nearly l6 columns.
giving total of 2.053 BARRIERS. Inquiry
showed tnat many BARRIERS who were
residents of the city when the lis, was
compiled had escaped classification, and
il WAS agreed that 1850 was fair esti-
mate OF the total number in the city.
Several demurred al the immcnsity of
the figures thus produced 500. 900
but the proprietor. fiattered at the i'm
portant showing made for his craft, in
sisted that the estimate was too low.
"a barber takes in said he, more
than s25 week on an average. Id
think he was poor man In my shop
that didn't take in more than S35."
But his was a lS-cen, shop. and the
man with the lead pencil-also by this
time with the triumphant smile-was
ready TO admit that s3,5O0,000 was
enough.-Chicago Tribune.

Hope to Be Saved by Shouting For


Quay attempts to cloud the issues
now as he tried to do at the opening OF
the last gubernatorial campaign, when
Candidate William A. Stone predicted
that McKinley's conduct of the war
with Spain would so absorb patriotic
attention as to make opposition to the
Republican ticket impotent. Quay and
his henchmen now court the national
administration favor by advocating
McKinley's denomination, and play the
old game of arguing that their loss of
the state treasury would be slap in
McKinley's face from Pennsylvania
Republicans.
Suppose their candidate for state
treasurer makes good promises. All
their candidates for state treasurer
have done that. Their candidate for
governor last year was given no chance
by the anti-machine coalition in the
last house to act upon pinch or grab
bills which he had promised on the
stump to veto. But chances which he
failed TO improve included those of
placing no unconstitutional obstruc-
tion in the way of reformed registra-
tion of voters; of respecting the con-
stitutional prohibition against dividing
! an item of the general appropriation
bill, as he did in depriying the public
schools of a million dollars, and of re-
framing from contemptuous disregard

Treasurers Come and Go. But the
Treasury Sey Does Not
Change Hands.
Let the state treasury's history for
the last 20 years answer the question
whether improvement can be expected
from the success of the Quay ticket
next November.
William Livsey, who has exiled him
self from the state since 1891, was ap-
pointed cashier of the state treasury
in 1880 by Treasurer Samuel Butler,
Silas M. Bailey was elected treasurer
in 1881 and continued Livsey as cash
ier. Livsey was elected state treasurer
in 1888, and was succeeded in that Of
fee by Mr.. Quay, who was elected in
1885.
By appointment from Quay Livsey
returned to the cashiers desk. and
held it until Quay, in the second year
of his term. resigned, and Livsey was
appointed to serve as treasurer for the
remaining eight months. Upon Will
lam b. Hart's election as treasurer in
1887 he made Livsey his cashier. Hart
died before his term closed, and again
Livsey was appointed to a vacant treas
urership.
Henry X. Boyer, elected treasurer in
1889, gave the cashiership to Livsey,
who retained 1t until he became a fu-
gitive at the start OF the treasury prob
ing in 1891. Thus, for IL years, as a
representative of the machine, Livsey
had held the key.
B. ]. Haywood, failing to be nominat-
ed in 1898 to succeed Treasurer Nor
rison was made cashier undor Treas
urer Samuel Jackson. Haywood was
elected treasurer in 1895, and upon the
election of the present treasurer, James
S. Beacon, Haywood was restored to
the cashiership, which he retained un-
til his death.
TWO SIMILAR CASES.
Haywood's troubles had notable pre-
cedent in Livsey's case. In 1891 Liv-
sey and his chief had permitted the
the state, to collect 1857, ,604 of license
money and to retain it for six months
after it's payment was due to the state
treasury. This money, with other
funds of the state and city. was in a
rotten bank. OF the 1867, ,6O4, bonds
men, pursued by Democratic attorney
general and governor, made good s120,-
900, and about $4,000 additional was
same officials. but there remained a
net loss to the state of 100000.
TREASURER MORE THAN ACLERK
The treasury act of 1897 makes no
practical change except in requiring
the treasurer to collect two per cent
per annum interest from all the state
fund repositories except five "active
banks" which pay one and half per
cent per annum on the daily balances.
The treasurer is empowered to select
all the repositories, Subject to the ap-
proval of the board Of revenue COM
missioners,' one of whom is himself,
and the others the auditor general and
the secretary of the commonwealth.
AS the present three commissioners owe
| their offices to the Quay machine,
which they continue faithfully to serve,
it is plain that no stronger check upon
the selection of repositories exists now
than before the new interest law took
| effect

NewInterest Law an Inadequate REM
edy For Treasury Abuses Re-
Gently Aired in Courts.


Here follows testimony, from a high
RepL 1lican source, against Quay ma
chine assertions that under the act
of 1897 regulating in some degree state
deposits of money and interest there
on, the state treasurer cannot con-
tinue abuses like those recently aired
in the courts. Governor Hastings, on
Oct. Is, 1898. at a Republican mass
meeting in the Academy of Music, at
Philadelphia, which State Chairman
Elkin had called. declared
1T cannot be questioned that the
public funds have been used for po-
litical purposes by depositing them in
favorite banks, where such deposits
were expected to yield returns in the
shape of political influence. This sys-
tenn cannot be defended. While the
new interest law is an improvement,
it does not. in my judgment, meet the
difficulty and correct the evil. 1t should
not be in the power of the state treas
urer, or Of any man or men controlling
him, to say what banks shall handle
the millions of dollars that are an
nually paid into the state treasury. 1t
would be far better for the state to
receive no interest upon the deposits
than to suffer a system to continue
| which can be used for partisan po-
! litical purposes. and, in my judgment.
| the evil will never be corrected until
the state keeps in her own vaults, as
do the United States and many of the
states, the moneys that she owns"
A striking illustration of state treas
ury abuses referred to by Governor
Hastings was presented on Aug. "a,
1898, to Auditor Holding, appointed by
the court to take testimony concerning
the defunct Chester County Guarantee
Trust and Safe Deposit company. 1t
had been a depository for state funds,
and the late eX-Congressman Darling
ton, president of the concern, when
asked what was meant by current
expenses" charged in the books, tes-
titled that they were political con-
tributions ''of from 2 to per cent an
nually to the Republican state and
county committees, paid pursuant to a
sort of implied understanding with
the parties who were influential in
controlling the state deposits"
The men who controlled the state
treasury in the periods Of time re-
ferTed to by Governor Hastings, by the
Darlington testimony and by the dis
closures resulting from the Peoples
bank failure, are the men who die
tated the Republican nominations th.s
year.

"what's the Constitution Between
Friends.o

For every eleven dollars which the
public schools formerly received from
the state they get but ten dollars out
of the appropriation unconstitution-
ally reduced by Governor Stone. Moth
ing could be palmer than the consti-
tutional language that while the gov
ernor may veto an item, he has no
right to divide an item. Yet he cut
a million dollars out of the item
through which the legislature had
voted in lump sum, $11 100000 to the
public schools.
The treasury deficiency which gave
him the excuse for doing this had
been caused primarily by former ma
chine legislators in unnecessarily in
creasing public officials and petty
clerkships in the several departments,
and in unjustifiably increasing salar-
les. The efforts of the anti-machine
majority in the late house to remedy
this deficiency through the Greasy
revenue bill and other measures were
defeated by the Quay controlled SEN
ate.
The governors disregard for the
constitution is shown again in his OBJ
struction of the movement for reform
in the registration of voters. The late
legislature adopted a resolution for
submission to a. popular vote a pro-
posed constitutional amendment which
would facilitate. among other reforms,
personal registration, and would au-
thorize enactment Of laws for special
legislation on this subject for the large
cities in which election crime Is ram
pant After the adoption OF this resO-
luton by the next legislature the peo-
pie could vote on the question. The
governor, without right or justifica-
ton, vetoed the resolution. and his
cabinet officers, taking the cue, refuse
to carry out the provision for adver-
tising the proposed amendment. Thus
is attempted deprivation OF the peo-
pies constitutional right to pass upon
a question of amending their funda-
mental law.
