year, and his election will make the

rIr. Crews Visits Starke.

J.B. Crews, candidate for the
state senate, was shaking hands
with friends in Starke last Satur-
day. To the TELEGRAPH man Mr..
Crews said that he would be busy
with his farm work until about
August 18th. after which date he
would devote his time to the public
discussion of political matters with
his opponent for the senatorship.
There is no question of Mr..
Crews democracy, and when he
takes the stump he will make the
welkin ring with democratic doc
trine, terseIy spoken.
-Four years ago Mr.. Crews was
defeated at the general election
after having received the nominal
ton for senator by a democratic
primary, but he came up smiling.
and when, two years later, bis
party needed the services of just
such a vigorous campaigner, he
was found ready and willing to lay
aside his business affairs and help
the party to victory. His demo-
cratic fealty cemented his old
friendships and won him many new
ones. He is, therefore, strong
candidate in the present campaign,
and Mr.. Jones will find in him a
foeman worthy Of his steel.
Both gentlemen are so well bal
anced that the people ore looking
forward to a clean, if lively, cam
paign between them.

THE sTAY-AT-HOME VOTE.

New York World.
The total vote cast for president in
1896 was ID, 923 37S out of an estimat.
ed total electorate of IA 100000.
The total vote cast for president in
1900 was IS, SS3, 943 out of an esti-
mated electorate of Is, 600, 600.
The vote this year was therefore
SO, 4S5 less than it was four years ago,
although the electorate had increased
at leas: 1880, 900. While the vote
four years ago was within quarter of
a million of the total electorate, the
''stay vote this year
reached l, 25O, 900.
One voter in every dozen the coun-
try through refrained from expressing
any opinion upon the presidency.
Except the presidential election of
1864, when the southern states were
not represented, this is the first pres
idential election at which the popular
vote has been less than at the preccd-
ing presidential vote.
Except that election of 1864 this is
the first presidential election at which
the popular vote has not been much
greater, greater in proper proportion.
than at the preceding election.
Mr.. Mckinley's popular vote in 1896
was 7,102, 272. His popular vote in
1900 was Z, 23S,1 $50. gain of 155, S5S.
Mr.. Bryan's popular vote in 1896 was
6,502,925. His popular vote in 1900
was $500, $50, a loss of 142 395.
MIR. Mchinley's slight increase and
Mr.. Bryan's slight decrease in
strength can be easily understood by
looking at the popular vote. What is
the meaning of the practical stand
still of both candidates; of the unpre-
cedented decline in the popular vote;
of the fact that one voter in every
dozen had no preference among the
candidates?
Clearly these facts can only mean a
widespread popular dissatisfaction
with both candidates, both parties,
both schemes of national policy.
Clearly the voters chose between evils,
and chose so reluctantly that a large
part of them refrained from express
ing q choice.
The popular vote, surveyed as a
whole, shows that the result of the
election was a rebuke to both sides,
with a strong preference for the ills
that were as compared with the ills
that might have come of a change. q

arrangement is made by which Schley

neither will reach the distinction be-

THE COST OF STYLE IMPERIAL.

There has been made public in
Washington, through the senate COM
mittee on relations with Cuba, state
ment of the operations of Rathbone
and Nicely, the administration repre-
sentatives in Cuba, that fully sustains
every allegation made during the
campaign, but which were strenu-
ously denied at the time.
This statement has been prepared
by the auditing division of the war
department, showing the expenditures
made by f q. Rathbone, late director
of the department of posts for Cuba.
The total disallowances for 10 months
were $72, 63i. The first disallowance
was on account of an expenditure OF
$3.50 for a duchess carriage, made in
February, 1899. After that time
there were frequent s5ursements
for the director generals carriage SER
vice. The rent for coachman, stable,
etc, seems to have been regularly
paid out of the public funds at the
rate of $40 per month, and in one or
two instances the hostler's salary was
thus supplied. all coach furnishings
were provided in this way. In May,
1899, uniform was bought for the
coachman, costing $40. a pair OF
boots costing $l5, a hat costing SO,
and June Q a rain coat costing $50
was supplied this individual. The
coach was later supplied with rubber
tires at an expense to the public Of
flee of $40.
All payments made to G. F. w.
Nicely, chief of the financial bureau of
the department, appear to have been
carefully scrutiniZed and many OF
them disallowed. There are two or
three items in his accounts of 80 10
$50 for payments on laundry bills for
the director-general's coachman. On
October IA, 1899, 50 1913 was paid
Nicely on account of ''loss of Spanish
gold taken to the United States" and
this was disallowed, as were several
other minor charges in connection
with the transaction.
He also made advances to Rath bone
and to w. +. Wilmot on account of
trips to the United States. which
were not sanctioned by the auditor.
Some of the items in this connection
amount to as much as SIS, 900 expendi-
ture. In Decem Der, 1899, and January
1900, several bills were presented to
New York and Washington firms by
Rath bone one aggregating 81, $50. This
includes 240 entries and covers many
of domestic use, such as
clothing, gloves, toilet articles, Gus
pidors, champagne and other wine,
glasses, tableware, kitchen utensils,
beadsteads, bedroom sets, bed cloth
ing, etc. But these items were all
pronounced illegitimate.
The auditor recommends disallou-
ance of S12, 2Sl spent for repairs on
the department building, owing to a
deposit of $l2 900 "erroneously
credited to Rathb bone

THE census returns of Texas pre-
sent some curious facts. For in
stance, Bailey county has but 4 res
idents, Cochran has 25, Andrews has
81, Lynn has II, and Dawson has 30.
Twenty-Five other counties have pop
ulations of less than 500 each. Some
counties have no running stream
within their borders, some are hun
dreds of miles from a railroad, and
others are almost wholly inhabited
by prairie dogs, jack rabbits and rat
tlesnakes. Tom Green county, the
largest in the state, is larger than the
whole state of Ohio and has but 6, SO4
inhabitants.
