Chairman Taylor said today that it

the election in Hawaii was invalid,
but presented no specifications. No
protest was made on the count of
alleged bigamy committed by Will
cox in marrying his present wife.
Mr.. Wilcox says that before the
date of the present marriage he was
notified by the Italian consul at
Honolulu and by the archbishop of
the Catholic Church that divorce
had been granted by the courts OF
Italy to his first wife, a native Of
that country. She did not appear
before the committee, as it had beer

Taylor said that it would have made
no difference; that a controversy

divorce proceedings could not h

A Threatening Condition.

Vineland, n. j., Independent.
Strange things have happened
when the toiling millions became
maddened by poverty and misery.
Conditions in France during the clos
ing years of the last century were
not materially different from those
existing in America today. 1t was
a greedy and impudent aristocracy
against patient, long-suffering peo-
pc, and when the latter could en-
dure their privations no longer the
former went to the wall and there
was little left Of the once proud and
aristocratic France. The curse of
greed and thirst for power blinds
men to danger and drives them to
their doom. There is half century
of hard word behind me; one half of
this time has been spent in trying to
convince the American people of
the existing danger of this Republic
being wrecked by the systems Of
government dictated by the money
power. I am not melting a revolu-
ton, or fostering spirit Of unrest,
as has been charged; 1 am simply
calling the attention of the capitalists
of this country to the law of cause
and effect, that they may stand from
under the avalanche. 1 have no de-
desire to see an upheaval of the fires
Of hell, or to inspire reign of terror.
Nor do want to see the men who
toll become so poor that they are
unable to fish nickel out of thei1
trousers picket to buy a paper. Just
30 sure as death and taxes, there's
trouble ahead for the millionaire
and unless the pressure is relieved
the oppressed are liable to do wha
they ought not to do.
When coal miners dig in thei
dusky caverns for so to 70 cents pc

half the time; when skilled factor,

cents; when experienced clerks Cal

Petersburg, w. Va, Special to
Philadelphia North American.
A secret society, "The Home Max
ers," which has large membership
in the mining districts Of the State,
advocates wife-beating.
The purpose Of the organization Is
to provide and maintain pleasant
homes for its members and those
dependent upon them, and as gossi-
py, careless wives and mothers are
held by them to be the cause of a
majority of the unhappy, ill-kept
homes and neglected children, the
society believes its members have a
right to use every possible means to
see that their homes are not neglect
ed.
A member who corrects his wife
by beating must do so only after all
other means to induce her to do her
duty have failed.
The society pays for the defense
of its members when arrested fol
wife beating, and in case Of convic
ton pays the fine.

The Western Insane Asylum.

The Western Insane Asylum.
At meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Western State HOspi-
pal for the Insane, at Morganton,
last week, DR.. R. L. Murphy, super
intendent, read a report which re-
veals some interesting facts. The
institution was built to accommodate
only 400 patients, while it has now
within its walls 745. Hundreds of
applications are on file for admittance
of patients. The new building,
which is now being erected on the
west side of the hospital. can accom-
modate but 800 more, and that can
not possibly be finished before next
winter.
The report of Mr.. Murphy showed
that while the hospital as it stands
cost the State $685. 600, it can be du-
plicated, without the administration
building, and give accommodation
for 400 more patients, for $3.50, 900,
less than one-half the cost of the
present building.
