EXTRAVAGANT REPUBLICAN CON-
CROSSES.

The late Fifty-fifth Congress broke
all bounds in the matter of wild ex-
travagance in appropriations. If the
saner members of that body had not
strenuously fought for some semblance
OF reason in the scramble for appro-
priations it is safe to say that the sum
total of expenditures would have
passed the two billion mark. AS il
was the total of appropriations passed
the billion-anda-half mark, exceeding
the most extravagant appropriations
Of any past Congress by more than
half a billion dollars!
In this connection it is interesting
and suggestive to know that of the past
five Congresses, including the Fifty
first, the original billion dollar Con-
gress, the only Congress that fell be-
low the billion dollar mark in its an
preparations was the Fifty-third. which
was Democratic. Its appropriations
did not reach the billion dollar mark
by over $10000,000, although its imme-
date Republican predecessor had ex-
ceeded the billion dollar mark by over
$27,0O0,000, while the appropriations of
the succeeding Republican Congress
surpassed all previous records Of ex-

HAD THREATENED THE BARON.

Chicago March 6.-Testimony was
given to-day in the Won Biedenfeld
murder trial tending to show that
Constable Charles Mcdonald, who was
killed by Baron Won Biedenfeld, had
on many occasions threatened to kill
the Baron and that McDonald's re-
volver contained hollow bullets full of
poison expressly intended for the Ger
man nobleman. Five witnesses told
the jury that Mcdonald had vowed to
shoot the Baron. The examining
attacks of the prosecution failed to
shake the evidence.

SYMPATHY FOR QUAY.
Governor Atkinson Thinks He is Great
and Good Man

Governor Atkinson Thinks He is Great
and Good Man
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Governor Atkinson, of West Virginia
was at the Baltimore & Ohio station
for few minutes last evening on his
way home from the State Capital, the
West Virginia Legislature, which
meets once every two years, having
just adjourned. Being asked what he
thought of the Senatorial situation in
Pennsylvania, the Governor said:
Il am sorry to have to say it, but |
believe that it is all over with Quay.
| don't think he can be reelected now
under any circumstances. Evidently
it was the postpOnement of his trial
that Killed his last chance. Before
that postponement was decided upon
his friends, and he himself, counted on
his reelection to the Senate as almost
a certainty. This proves conclusively
that he had nothing whatever to do
with putting the trial off-he is too
shrewd not to have been able to see the
probable effect of such a move in adj
vance.
Il have known Mr.. Quay personally
for many years, and | sympathize deep
ly with him in his present trouble.
Even his enemies must admit that he
is an extraordinary man. In my own
opinion he is a political genius. He
has accomplished things in politics
that no other man among all the
many politicians | know could have
done under the same circumstances.
Numberless times, when his foes
thought they had him at bay and
could crush him. he not only made
good his escape but by some stroke of
genius turned defeat into victory, leav-
ing him more powerful than ever in
the politics of the State. And had it
not been for the mismanagement by
some of his lieutenants in his present
campaign the situation would not be
what it is.
Governor Atkinson was asked his
opinion on the possibility of Senator
Penrose resigning his seat in the Sen
ate so as to give Governor Stone a
chance to appoint the ex-senator to
fill the vacancy. He said: I do not
believe that Mr.. Penrose has any in
tention of resigning his seat in the
Senate. OF course. Mr.. Quay could get
back into the Senate in that way. But
he could only hold the position until
the Legislature again meets; then a
Senator to fill the unexpired term
would have to be balloted for

The Fourteenth street Atkinson or.
gan winds up a partisan screed against
the Register for criticising Governor
Atkinson's veto of the express COM
pany tax bill, as follows:
One way TO get a proper tax measure
on the statute books is to show the good
and bad points of the measure, and not TO
abuse the executive who gave his author
ties for his reasons for objectlng to bad
points.
Another way to accomplish the same
end is to elect an executive who under
stands and is capable of performing
his duties. The Governors declination
to veto the valued policy insurance
BILL although he cited fourteen rea-
sons why it should not become a law,
is fair sample of his idea of those
duties.

AN EXTRAVAGANT LEGISLATURES.

Elsewhere in this mornings Regis
ter will be found a statement of the
aggregate appropriations passed by the
late unlamented Legislature. The
total for the ensuing two years is
s2,003, 1898.
This is an unprecedented sum and
brings West Virginia's expenses under
Republican rule to over million dol
lars year.
The responsibility for this lies at the
door of the Republicans of the Legis-
lature as we shall demonstrate.
To begin with, a factor having much
to do with the increase in appropria-
tons was the revolutionary political
scheming of the Republican majority
of the Senate, which effectually block
ed the work of the Legislature until
the session was half gone. 1t was nee
essary to crowd the work of the entire
session into the remaining half. In
this way appropriations were not per-
mitted to receive in either branch the
consideration they should have re-
ceiyed and claims and demands on the
State treasury were allowed to pass
without proper attention and due in
vestigation into their merits.
In this connection it is pertinent to
state that throughout the session the
Democrats held out against and fought
extravagant appropriations in the COM
mittee rooms, on the floor and in con-
ference committee of both houses.
Even on the final vote the bill Woulc
have been defeated by Democratic votes
in the House had it not been that
members changed their votes after roll
call simply in order to avoid an extern
sion of the session.
To sum up, the Democrats consistent
lv held out for economy, while the Re-
publicans-with one or two honorable
exceptions-bossed by greedy and I'M
scrupulous leaders, as consistently de-
manded the unnecessary and unwar-
ranted increases, for which there is
certainly nothing to show in the way
of promised betterments or improve
ment in government.

In the summer of 1898 the govern
ment Indian bureau invited all the
tribes of Indians in this country to
send delegates to an Indian congress-
and they gathered from far and near
with their ponies and tepees and gaudi-
est trappings in the exposition grounds
at Omaha. Never before had there been
ana never again Will there be such a
gathering. There were about 500 of
them. some partly civilized, but the
greater portion picturesque in original
sayagery. Strange as 1 may seem at
this late day, many of the Indians de-
clared that before coming to Omaha
they had no idea what multitudes of
white men there Were or how hopeless
it was to try TO stand against them.
