SPEAKING of politics there
ought to be enough to go around
this year. Each party will have
to send delegates to two state
conventions, one to select delegates
to the national convention and the
other to nominate a state ticket.
Inside of sixty days prospective
candidates are likely to begin

SECRETARY CAGES CASE.

The relations of Secretary of
the Treasurer Gage with the New
York national bank whose stock as
owned and whose affairs are
directed by the same men who
manage and profit by the operas
ton of the Standard Oil Company,
are as thoroughly entitled to con-
gressional investigation as was
Russell A. Alger's conduct of the
war department during and after
the Spanish American war. The
prima facie evidences of repre-
hensible conduct are, if anything,
greater in the case Of Gage than
in that of Alger. Cages own adj
missions show that written re-
quest was made on him in behalf
of the National City Bank for
special consideration because of
claims which the directors of the
bank had on the administration in
return for financial assistance to
the republicans during the cam
paign of 1896.
Following this communication
such special consideration was
given this bank in number of
instances. One notable case was
at the time of the recent furry on
Wall street when the secretary
of the treasury ordered large sums
Of money deposited in the Ma
tional City Bank with the pre-
sumed purpose of making money
easier when everything indicated
that this bank was direct agent
in producing the stringency. At
other times the bank enjoyed the
use of millions of dollars of
government funds for extended
periods, which millions could
enable it's directors to loan money
at high rates Of interest and to
speculate to their personal adj
vantage.
Whether these things resulted
from the ignorance or the willful
wrongdoing OF the secretary Of
the treasury the event shows that
he is not filled with an exalted
sense Of the obligations resting
upon secretary Of the treasury.
Unless the president and cong
ress take prompt and proper
measures to place the respons-
Utility where it belongs the re-
sponsibility must rest upon them.
Mr.. Gage has boldly done the
work Of associating the admins
tratlon with trusts and syndicates
tickle me and I'll tickle you.
Is he to be repudiated or approved
by President Mckinley?

A COURT decision that is both
important and far reaching in its
effect and will probably be carried
up to the supreme court was
rendered at Fargo the other day
by Judge Pollock, holding the
constitutionality of the law which
provides for the assessment of all
grain in elevators on April first
to the owner of the elevator, with
out taking into consideration the
party to whom the company may
undertake to show the grain has
been transferred to. The case in
question was that of Minneapolis
& Northern Elevator Co., against
Trail county. A brief synopsis
of the facts of the case are as given
below: In the company's elevator
at Belmont there was 20,685
bushels of wheat on the first of
April last year. On March l the
wheat was sold to G.. A. Thomp.
son, of Montreal, Canada, and was
kept in store by the elevator
company. The county authorities
of Trail levied a tax on the wheat
valuation of $5,17l. The elevator
company claimed that the wheat
was not taxable on account of its
being the property of Mr.. Thomp-
son and to defeat the tax levy
the action was started in the
district court. Judge Pollock held
for the county, thus upholding the
constitutionality of the law which
provides that all grain in any
elevator, warehouse or grain house
on the first day of April on each
year shall be assessed and taxed
in the name of the person or firm
owning or operating the elevator.

COURT ADJOURNED AT NOON.
One Case Referred and Settlement
Effected in Another.

owing to the fact that there were
two cases under way court was COM
PEELED to convene yesterday morning
and while awaiting the return of a
Jury two cases were taken up and dis
posed Of.
In the case OF Patrick F. May against
Mrs. Mary Ann Moran, a jury was
drawn with the purpose of proceeding
to trial, but when It was seen that 1t
was to be a long-winded case, Judge
Archibald, who wanted that court
should adjourn at noon In honor OF the
day, advised that the dispute be sub
mitted to q referee for adjudication and
after some discussion the parties adopt
ed the suggestion. Attorney Charles
l.. Hawley was selected as referee.
1t Is a suit to recover for the con-
struction of a house in Bellevue. Mrs.
Moran admits that she owns the lot on
which the house stands, but claims the
house was built at the order of her
husband and that he Is the one who
must be followed for its cost. Senator
J. c. Vaughan appeared for the plain
tiff and NJ. A. Mckinley and l. II. Burns
for the defendant.
The case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. H. Smith
against the' Scranton Railway com
pany was called up and settled. ver-
dict Of 5000 was directed in favor OF

TO BRING ABOUT REFORM.
Albert 4. Turner Outlines Work
They Are Engaged in.

Albert r. Turner, of Philadelphia,
associate secretary OF the union COM
mittee Of this city Is making his head
quarters at the Hotel Jermyn. When
seen last night by Tribune man he
said.
II am here for the purpose OF con-
sultlng business men and others with
a view to organizing a northeastern
auxiliary committee to cooperate with
the union committee for the promotion
OF ballot reform and the merit system
in Pennsylvania. The movement Is
entirely non-partisan, representing the
Pennsylvania Ballot Reform associa-
tion, which was organized In 1889;
Pennsylvania Civil Service Reform as
ISOLATION and Municipal League OF
Philadelphia.
"The union committee seeks to have
acts passed providing for ballot re-
form and the general adoption OF the
merit system In filling appolntive of.
fees and to have the election laws
codihed. They have not been codidod
since 1899. The Pennsylvania Ballot
Reform associations bill passed by the
last house and known as the Keator
| bill as advocated by the union COM
| mlttee 1t provides simple and much
smaller form of ballot, groups the can
didates under the title of office for
which their are named. reduces the
percentage OF sigpers required to place
a ticket on the ballot and has some
| provision for better count. A con-
| ference will probably be arranged to
| be addressed by prominent Philadel-
phians."

The Scrantonians were downed by
score of 20 to 13. Only six innings
were played. Although this game did
not border on the professional line,
there were enough good plays to keep
up the interest.
G. *. Jones started in the box for
Sc' anton, but was knocked out in the
third inning, when the home team
scored eight runs. He was replaced by
Campbell, who was also touched up
freely. Cawley's curves proved some
what Of puzzle for the visitors, who
secured but seven scattered hits. The
teams lined ur as follows:

PRICE OF MEATS HAS GONE UP.
Advance Ranges from 81 to $3.50
on the Hundred Pounds.

The price of meat has taken a rise Of
between 81 and 50 50 on the hundred
pounds. ranging according to the quail
ity. and local butchers are bemoaning
the fact accordingly. Practically all
the meat received in town comes from
the west, and must be obtained through
the m eat firms controlling the marke ct.
For the past two weeks the wholesale
price has been climbing and It is ex-
pected will continue ascending. The
change in the wholesale rates will af-
feet the prices for home consumption
and the buyers will now have to pay
from l to Scents more per pound for
veal. mutton, beef, etc. 1t is expect
ed that meat vii remain high until the
middle of summer. Prices on the
meat have risen about as follows:
Veal-$l.00 on a hundred pound,
Pork-$l.50 on hundred pounds.
Beef-Sl.5 so on a hundred pounds.
Mutton-S2.50 on hundred pounds,
The local dealers take the change
philosophically and say that although
in former years the price on meat
usually dropped, for the last two years
or so the price has been going up.
