very anxious to be as popular as possible,
and to have his popularity as far r. aching
as possible. He said. therefore, in answer:
Il am for any one who can be a winner.
Who he is or may be time and conditions
will determine. 1t is too early now TO Sc
iect a standard-bearer."
Then, it is said, Mr. Taggart added very
cautiously: 1T strikes me that, just at
present, the logical leader is David B. HILL
But, mind you. l am not making any pre-
dictions or urging any one man for the
place"
Just as anxious as Mr.. Taggart Is to pre-
vent the furtherance of Senator Fairbanks
boom for the presidency in Indiana. or
elsewhere, for that matter, equally ANXIOUS
are the senior Indiana senator's friends TO
prevent Thomas Taggart from securing the
campaign leadership OF the national demo-
cratic party. So because of this antago-
ntsm. even this early in the season, II
seems that much of the political turmoil OF
the country at large is already eentering
itself in Indiana.
Mr. Taggart will return to Indianapolis
Monday ii is announced. and after resting
a few days will make his way westward.
1t is given out on high authority that the
trip will be for the purpose OF seeing the
chairmen of democratic organizations IN
the western states that will be included in
Mr.. Taggarts itinerary for the purpose OF
further st strengthening his fences for the
national craftsmanship. Returning from
this tour Mr.. Taggart expects to devote
himself quite as assiduously to the same
sort Of campaigning in the south.

ADDRESS BY MR.. FOULKE
REVOLVING ABUSES DISCOVERED
IN INDIANA HOSPITAL.
Civil Service Commissioner Regards
Mismanagement as Regular Conse-
quence of Political Supervision.

In an address to the national conference
of charities. made recently by Mr. William
d. Fouke of the civil service commission,
that official cited an extraordinary instance
of and made the following general observa-
tions on the management of eleemosynary
institutions on the basis of political patron
age:
THE system of political patronage is ev-
erywhere destructive of good government,
but nowhere are it's results more hideous
and revolving than in charitable institutions,
and particularly in those devoted to the
care of the insane. About fifteen years
ago I had an intimate personal knowledge
of these results in connection with the In
diana Hospital for the Insane. In that
particular instance the evils were commit
ted by the democratic administration. but l
wish to disclaim any partisan feeling in re-
spect to such matters. / am perfectly con-
sccus that the spoils system is not one
whit better when carried on by republicans.
The act under which the hospital was
opera ted was passed by party vote in the
Indiana Legislature when l was member
of that body. The board of trustees was
elected by the general assembly. and 1t
was intended that places should be given
for political reasons. and that party men
only should receive appointments. No eX-
animation was held to ascertain the fitness
of persons appointed. Legislative influence
courted by the selection of many rela
tives and friends of members of the legisa-
ture belonging to the party In power. One
senator secured the appointment of a
daughter, a nephew and three nieces. be-
sides a number of his friends. Letters
were written by the trustees to various
members of; the general assembly. asking
them to send some one to the asylum for

Partisan Control Contrary to Law.

1.-The boards in charge of the insane hos
pitfalls IN Indiana are now composed Of
members of both political parties, and such
abuses as those described do not now exist
But even this remedy is very imperfect
one. 1t is not infrequently the case that
political appointees of two opposing par
ties VIII unite for the purposes of plumber,
and divide the offices and the contra cts;
and in such cases exposure is someti ines
even more difficult than where one party
alone is responsible. The only reform
whose permanency is assured is one which
provides. not that the employees and sub
ordlnates shall be divided between the par
compe titive tests of fitness, without refer
ence to parties at all
1T is my conviction that the use Of
great benevolent institution for partisan
purposes is contrary to the common law,
and that officers who thus prostitute their
power be removed Coke, Comyus
Story and other eminent jurists all hold
that if officer removes a meritorious
subordinate arbitrarily it is good ground

the Constitution. 1t is certainly m sfea-
sance in office. In Rex against Williams

fused a license because the person applying

that public officers are subject to removal

sons. irrespe ctiye of me rit the cause of
civil service reform would be greatly pro-
noted"

An Instance Of Political Control.


''On the day of congressional conven-
ton the hospital was almost deserted. Ad-
Gitional places were made, that political
workers might be supplied with positions.
The storeks eper had polit ,cians foisted upon
him assistants until 1t took three men to
do the work of one. Most of those who fur
nished the supplies for the asylum be-
1onged to the same party. and a number Of
them were prominent politicians. A former
candidate for governor and former treas
urer of state sold hogs 10 the asylum. and
the most successful bidder was the candi-
date for clerk of the county. a man who
aftorward fed from the state on account Of
his dffalcations.
The results were such as might have
been expected-ca reiess and Unbusinesslike
methods pervading the entire organza ton,
with much favOritism. corruption and in
efficiency. and constantly recurring cases
of neglect and cruelty toward the in
mates.
Il was chairman of committee which
made examination of the hospital, and

disease and the butchers knife. The daily
reports of subsistence showed that the
articles furnished for the tables were
abOninable. ..s'
Political heelers were appointed to take
care of the insane, and these afflicted crea-
lures were abused and beaten with great
inhumanity. gentleman whose son was

not interfering. Other inmates were leased
and tormented for the mere purpose of

treatment several lost their lives. The su-
perirtendent sought to secure necessary re-
forms in these particulars, but the board
would not allow IL.

AT last these abuses were thoroughly
ventilated in the public press the matter
became a political issue. and the party
under whose management they had ex-
listed was defeated in the lower branch of
the general assembly. Investigations were
ordered but the board. after their mis-
deeds had been published and exposed, pro-
cured the appointment of a senate COM

selves from their responsibility. The in
vestigation was taken away from the COM
mittee on benevolent Institutions to which
Ii belonged. and consigned to a special
body appointed by the presiding officer of
the senate. who had been a personal bene-
fciary of the corrupt system. The COM
mittte was composed in part of other ben
eficiaries. among whom was a relative of
one OF the members of the board, and a
ma jority of the committee had been sup

partisan system was tabliShed. The

ANNE ARUNDEL GASES
Taken Up And Discussed In The Court Of
Appeals

Most OF the session of the Court Of
Appeals was taken up yesterday by three
Anne Arundel county cases, those OF
George Thomas Beaseley. Sheriff OF Anne
Arundel county, VS.. Weems Ridout and
others, visitors to the Anne Arundel Jail:
State Of Maryland VS. Chas. A. Gran
dali and State OF Marylan VS.. William
Ward.
The first named case is one which was
instituted for the purpose OF getting from
constitutional right Of the Legislature to
take certain duties away from a sheriff
and impose them upon others, as was
done by the extra session of the Legisla-
ture OF 1901. This act took the care OF
the Jail and prisoners from the sheriff and
vested them in board of visitors. This
board was appointed by Judge Revell on
November 1. They demanded OF. the
sheriff to turn over the Jail, etc.. to them,
bnt he refused to do so. claiming tha,
the Jail was under his management by
common Law and constitutional right and
that the Legislators could not take this
right from him Mr.. Edward c. Cant,
appeared tor the sheriff and States At
torney Daniel r. Randall for the Board
OF Visitors.
The two last named were argued to-
gether, Attorney General Isidor Rayner
argued for the State and Hon. Robert
Moss for CraDdall and Ward. In each
OF these cases the defendants were tried
before justice of the peace for locating
blinds for duck shooting on South river
nearer than 900 yards to one already
established, as forbidden By law. An
appeal were taken to the Circuit Court,
which decided that the defendants were
entitled to jury trial and the right OF
appeal. On this decision the case was
taken to the Court Of Appeals. the State
claiming that the Circuit Court OF Anne
Arundel County was entirely without
jurisdiction.

Yesterday put in effect the order issued
some time ago that the employees OF the
contractors on Naval Academy work be
required to wear badges indicating an in
dividual number and giving the name of
the contractors under which they are
employed before they are to be allowed
to enter the Naval Academy grounds.
The men were unpfepared for the order,
as it was to have gone into effect on last
Saturday, but was not adhered to on
either Saturday. Monday or this morn
ing. When the men that went home to
dinner yesterday upon their return were
confronted by the guards at the several
gates, some 10 men we're refused en-
trance, and the outcome of the order is
awaited with great deal OF interest. The
men who had badges entered the Acad-
emy grounds this morning and went to
work as usual. There was no difficulty
with the men employed by the Hoffman
Engineering Company.
