WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

Under the caption "A Needed Reform"
the Washington Post discusses a matter
which appeals to the citizens of every
town of any considerable size in the
land. Beginning by quoting the Chi
cago Tribune it says:
The Chicago Tribune shows where a
great deal of the money raised by tax
alton in that and in all other cities
goes. The Tribune says of Mary
O'Brien, who recently died of alcohol
ism, that ''she went to the bridewen 313
times. Usually she stayed about TWEEN
ty-three days. That is, she stayed long
enough to get sobered, but not long
enough to get reformed. Her arrests,
trials and commitments cost the city
about $1,000. Her keep cost the city a
great deal more" This means that the
earnings for a year of some ten or a
dozen skilled wage workers went to
keep that wretched creature alive. The
Tribune tells another story of similar
import. 1t says: Theresa Sullivan has
been sent to the brideWell twenty times
in the last two years. She takes liquors
and drugs. Each time shS goes to the
bridewell she is deprived Of liquors and
drugs. How long? Just long enough
to put her in good physical condition
for another debauch."
Every city has it's Mary O'Briens and
Theresa Sullivans, and also has male
specimens of the human family a:
worthless and costly as Mary ant
Theresa. What ought to be done witt
them? They are objects of pity, and M
malice should be shown in their treat
ment. But both their own and the pub
lies interest would be best promoted b.
keeping them out of the reach of tn
stirnulants that craze them. When ev

failed. an inebriate asylum should b

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Ghost That Will Not Down

- OnoSt IndL VIZ 0Ot OOWus
New York World:
With every new attempt to bring the
murderers of Governor Goebel to JUS
tice the evidence becomes more Sensa-
tional. The testimony of Frank Cecil
makes out the crime an official act of
the Taylor state administration. Ac
cording to this account Caleb Powers,
the secretary of state, told Cecil that
ne was looking for a man to kill
Goebel. and when Cecil did not offer to
accept the job Powers took him into
the governors office. where Acting
Governor Taylor repeated the PROPOSE
ton. Taylor offered to give him the
81, 800 left in the Republican campaign
fund, together with full pardon, If he
would commit the crime. This testi-
mOny, so far as it relates to Powers,
was reinforced on Thursday by Yout-
sey, the convict who produced a docu-
ment in which Powers. over his own
signature, practically admitted that an
affidavit affirming his innocence was
perjureu. Taylor who was accused OF
melting and procuring assassination, is
fugitive from justice in Indiana. Re
peated attempts to secure his extradi-
ton have failed because Governor Dur
bin, the same whose condemnation OF
lynching has been so generally APP
proved, refused to obey the mandate OF
the constitution of the United States.
