Frankfort, KY, March 25--The ex-
amining trial of the Republican sec
rotary of state, Caleb Powers, will be
resumed tomorrow morning. Sergeant
F.. Wharton Golden, who, it is alleged,
turned states evidence, viii continue
on the witness stand for cross examina-
ton, his direct testimony having been
completed Saturday. When he is
through, Mrs. Golden, his wife, will be
introduced as a witness, also for the
prosecution, and it is reported that she
will cOrToborate her husbands tesIi-
mOny on many important points. The
physicians who made the. autopsy on
the body of the late Governor Goebel,

Mrs. Golden a Surprise.
The introduction of Mrs. Golden will
prove a surprise, inasmuch as it has
been the impression from reports sent
out from BarbOursville that Mrs. Gold
en- was angry as her husband on ac-
count Of his confession
Since his illness in the court room,
Golden has completely recovered and
was on the street today. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that the defense may
mako no effort to controvert Goiden'S
statement in the examining trial. An
examining judge needs to have only q
reasc1abls suspicion Of guilt TO bind
prisoner over to the grand jury and
as it is evident Judge Moore las this, it
would be folly for the defense 10 show
its hand before the real trial.
The whole of Golden's testimony
tended 10 throw suspicion on ''Tallow

in allotment-for the sailor will remain
in the power of the crimp so long as the
latter can draw on his future-is that the
sailor win be paid off with more of his
own money, and thus be enabled in a
measure to seek mis- own boarding house,
pay his expenses in cash, and buy his own
clothing-thus lessening his subserviency
to the crimp, and increasing his own self
respect
But this result, though small will be
a distinct gain: the only possible good
to the sailor i'm the retention of the pre-
sent one months allotment is that il
penniless he may find Judgement and food
against his future value at the shipping
desk. The argument is advanced by
friends of seamen who quail at the thought
of his walking the streets. hungry and
cold, as a result of the abolition of alot-
ment.
DO these people understand that walking
the streets, hungry and cold, would not
trouble a sailor half as much as II trouble ;
a tramp? The Sailors life at sea is a drill
that would kill the average tramp. Al
best he can have but four hours sleep at
time; he is always hungry, and az meal
times fed upon food that most dogs would
refuse and which he eats only because of
his hunger. He is worked about fourteen

whole carefully contriVed to use up the
amount of the advance note-one, two or
three months wages.
Reformers of the time saw that the. sys-
tenn placed the sailor in the power of the
crimp, in that 1t made his berth in new

TO these eXactions. They saw, also, that
it furnished the crimp-an unnecessary

correspondingly bad for the sailor. In
fact, it has reduced the latter to a condi-
ton little better than enslavement TO the
crimp, and this is so lamentably true that
few Americans are now to be found
among deep sea sailors. even on Ameri-
can ships Many efforts have been made
by Congress to do away with the crimping
evil. but so far almost entirely without
effect. The latest effort took form in the
law of 1899, which has now been in oper-
alton about a year, but, as Mr.. Robertson
clearly shows. it has been quite as in
operative as were the earlier laws passed
with the same purpose in view.
Mr.. Robertson is himself especially quail
flied to treat upon this subject, since he
served as a sailor before the mast on deep
sea voyages for some years before adopt
ing literature as a profession. His power
as a fiction writer is largely derived from
his own experiences as a seaman, and he
has personal knowledge that everything he
has set down in the present article is lit
orally true.
1t is the common impression that, bat
as the present conditions are, they have
steadily improved since the days of the
old clipper ships, when steam on the ocean
was unknown, but Mr.. Robertson thinks
otherwise-that they are worse now than
ever. 1t should be added that while as
he says, Mr.. Robertson believes the doom
of the crimp is definitely fixed, il is being
fastened more by the increased use OF
steam than by any other force. 1t should
be added that neither the men on the
steamships nor the sailors of the Ameri-
can coastwise trade are subject to the
crimping system.
About fifteen years ago advance on
seamens wages was abolished by law, and
allotment substituted as a step toward
the further protection of The sailor from
the consequences of his own folly and i'm
providence. The change may have found
some excuse in the muddled understanding
of the legislators of the time but never
had any in The minds of either sailors or
outside observers. It's only advantage lay
in the fact that it lessened somewhat the
amount that could be subtracted in one
item from the sailors pay at the end of
the voyage.
Advance was given. not in money, but
in the form of a note. This note, properly
countersigned by the United States ship
ping commissioners functionary appoint-
