accrue to the official custodian. If We
may presume, however, that the stat
utes are to apply to democratic as we'll
as republican officials charged with the
custody of trust funds. the investiga-
ton should not be confined to any one
city or county in the state.
The mysterious disappearance of the
money appropriated by the legislature
at the last session to complete the build
ing of the asylum at Pennington, be-
tween the date when it reached the
state treasury at Jefferson City and the
date it began to be actually employed
in construction work, is proper subject
of investigation by the grand jury of
Cole county. The hiatus has never
been explained; and, in fact, no effort at
explanation has ever been made. What
is known is that for months following
the time when these funds became
available, no work was done on the asy-
lum at Pennington. The citizens of
that place ard of all of that part of
Missouri, who were advised Of the facts
| in the case, We're almost constantly urg-
ing the completion OF work, not only be-
cause the new institution is badly
needed to relieve the congestion in the
three asylums already existing, or be-
cause the money had been paid with
which to prosecute the work, but main
ly because the bui ding, in its unfin-
ished state, threatened to become par
tial ruin, involving loss of money al
ready expended, and promising to make
the total cost of the building, when
finally completed, much greater than
the original estimates.
All of these representations were, for
months. withou effect. They were met
with evasions and promises which were
not fulfilled. They were without effect
until the actual condition of things at
Pennington began to find its way into
newspaper print. Then the funds with
which to do the work were made avail
able. The facts il this case, as they
are known, and if not admitted can not
at least be denied. constitute a prima
facie case for the action of grard jury
in Cole county. If the state treasurer
of Missouri is willing to remain silent
under conditions for which he may not
be responsible, but which leave him un-
der suspicion, the grand jury of Cole
county might be doing him a real SER
vice by making it mandatory upon him
to tell where were the Pennington funds
between the date they were paid INTO
the treasury and the date they were
available for work on the building

Postofice DEVELOPMENT.

1t is a matter of common experience
that every new public facility creates
its Own patronage. When the stage
coach was the vehicle of trayel the
travelling public was limited to stage
coach capacity. With the means of
journeying largel, developed by the
railroads the habit Of moving has mar.
vellously grown. Every new means of
rapid transit in this city only stimulates
more traffic, and every great outlay by
our traction companies brings back in
come from sources which before were
not tributary to their system. The
Postoffice Department has had a similar
experience. The reduction of letter
postage might have been expected to re-
suit merely in sacrifice of revenue by
one who did not take account of this
tendency of the public to respond to
every offer of a new convenience. 1t
was trifling thing, saving one cent on
letter. But that saving induced the
writing of so many more letters that be-
fore long the postal revenues were
larger than they would have been if
three cent postage had been continued.
These facts should not be lost sight
of in considering the feasibility of the
wide extension of the rural free de.iv-
cry system proposed by the Postmaster
General. 1t is doubles. true that at
present the daily free delivery of mail
to every hoase IN the land would in.
volve an expense largely exceeding any
revenue to be derived from rural bust
mess. The same might have been said
few years ago about the establishment
of a telephone station at almost every
four corners hamlet. But the tele-
phones begat desire to use telephones,
and the free delivery would beget an
appetite for letters and papers and stim-
ulate the habit of writing. Wherever
rural free delivery has been tried 1t has
brought a large increase of first class
mail and Of that part of second class

The Postmaster General estimates that
the saving OF from S12, OOO, 600 to
$2O.OOO,OOO q year which could be ef-
fected by the extirpa,ion Of the abuses
of second class privile. 90 would meet
the cost of extending free rural delivery
to every settled portion Of the country.
II this waste could be cut of, then
the beneficent work of free rural deliv-
cry could proceed without added ex
peose to the government, and the new
business stimulated would he clear
profit. This in turn might make pos
sible still further development of the
postal system. The special delivery
us::ness is still in its infancy because in
the cities the instruments for quick
mail transit have not been adapted to
putting the local letter IN competition
with the telegram. When that is done
the special deliveries will SO increase
that he government will derive large
revenue from them, whereas only a few
deliveries may cost as much as they
bring in.
All these improvements will doubtless
come in due season. The extension of
rural free delivery, accompanied by the

Editor Reformer:-
The episode in the Auditorium on
Monday night cannot be viewed by
any person as otherwise than to be re-
gretted II furnished political capital
to neither party. For if one side
claims it as a natural mishap to an adj
vocate of high license. on the other
hand it might with equal force be
claimed thar the seductive conditions
which resulted in his fall were found
in state under a prohibitory law,
While to a superficial mind it may
simply appeal as an exceedingly funny
political denouement, to the more
thoughtful it brings feeling of sadness
at tn fall of one who was fitted for large
usefulness in his chosen profession. We
understand that in early life before his
conversion the Rev. Sam Small was a
victim to the drink habit. For a pc
riod of many years he has risen above
his special temptation No one can
do otherwise than admire his efforts
so long successful or feel other than
sorrow at this fall so public and com
plete. We hope it may prove the be
ginning of a more thorough reforma-
ton and the opening in consequence of
still wider fields of future usefulness.

Laws Which Apply Only to the Poor,

The prohibitory law of Vermont says
to the man who has money enough to
keep wine cellar; "lou may enjoy
the use of alcoholic beverages at your
pleasure. Stock up your cellar as you
may desire and here's your good
health. - But to the working man
who ls just human enough to fancy
that he could get little satisfaction
out of a nickels worth of beer occa-
-ionally, the law says No, you must
morals. - So it is wrong to drink a
nickels worth of beer, and all right to
drink - worth of wine. If you have
money enough to import your liquor
you can drink it. If you have not you
must 20 without. If you want laws for
rich and poor alike, then vote for DIR.

Clarke C. Fits. Candidate.

Some Of the more ardent supporters
of the high license issue are cehsuflng
Candidate Fits because he got an -,
600 fee from the Thompson fund. Let
ms be fair to Mr.. Fits in all matters,
however we may differ on the license
question. Mr.. Fits was not only one
of the most liberal oubscribers to the
fund raised to fight the thompson
case. but he was one of the leaders who
took hold of the matter and pushed II
to a successful issue. He was appoint
ed one of the committee to investigate
the matter, and he spent not only
large portion of years time III tlght'
ing the matter in Massachusetts,, but
a large amount Of money besides HIS
charge was little more than half what
his associates charged, and as il was
allowed bv the courts OF Massachusetts
il must have been just and equitable.

Editor Reformer;
Nero rejoicing at the burning of his
imperial city earned richly the detes-
tation of all future time. Christian
Revelation has placed the value of a
human soul above that of the whole
world. The undisguised and public re-
joicing of minister of the gospel over
the downfall of a fellowman in the dis
of the Rev. Samuel Small
was an incident painful to note aud
under the circumstances quite as out
of character and discreditable to its
author as the maudlin efforts of the
helpless victim upon the stage.

in Europe, where his fathers wealth
opened to him all avenues Of enjoy
ment. Under the nom de plume of
"Old Sii he won a reputation among
literary men, and became an acknowl-
edged master of negro dialect humor.
Physically he is not robust, but it IS
said Ct him that he can do more work
than those who seem his superiors in
physique He not infrequently used
to work all night, and this without APP
parent injury to his delicate constitu-

his mode of living, and under the
preaching of the Rev Sam" Jones
professed conversion and became an
