How grand aud beautiful is the sound
Of this promise and high resolve made
the other day by the Hon. FRANK Way
LAND HIGGINS:
If elected Governor shall lose no opportunity
to advise and cooperaue with that great army OF
philanthropIsts who are so unselhshly laboring TO
Improve the condition of these unfortunates. keep
ing In mind always that niegardly economy should
rot prevail as against 1he health well being and
cure Of these charges of our State"
The past performances of Mr.. HIGGINS
illustrate beautifully and grandly his
devotion to philanthropy his unselfsh
interest in improving the condition Of
these unfortunats.s, and his policy
of generous expenditure for the benefit
of their health, we'll being and cure.
Who are the philanthropists with whom
he has cooperated hitherto? The Hon.
BENJAMIN B. ODELL, Jr., and his gang
Of grating politicians. All the real
philanthropists in the State protested
against the odell Lunacy bill. Mr..
HIGGINS spoke and acted for it in the
State Senate He voted to put all the
5000 patients in the State hospitals
for the insane in the power Of the Odell
ring, he voted for policy of niggardly
economy toward those unfortunates
By his vote for the State Lunacy Com
mission he cooperated with the Odell
philanthropists in reducing the food
allowance OF the insane. He oooperated
in the noble philanthropy Of letting them
have half an egg day-when eggs don't
cost more than IS cents a dozen. He
cooperated in shaving down the luna
tics diet, in giving them less meat and
potatoes and vegetables and fewer
clothes. The alienists and the genuine
philanthropists objected in vain. Mr..
HIoaINs lost no opportunity to advise
and cooperate with ODELL the head OF
the Wholesale Grocery School of Philan-
thropy.
Another important act Of Mr.. HIG-
GINS, in cooperation with the Odell
philanthropists, was his favorable re-
port as chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee OF the Senate and his vote for
the bill creating the Office of Fiscal
Supervisor of State Charities, an office
held by the Republican wiskinkie OF
Albany county.
Mr. HIGGINS has been an active
acoomplice in the shameful work Of
impairing and despoiling the State chari-
ties. To man and woman "the great
army Of philanthropists" are against him
as he has been against them.

The Campaign in Connecticut.

Judge A. HEAToN ROBERTSON of New
Haven, whom the Connecticut Demo-
Gratis nominated for Governor to oppose
HENRY ROBERTS Of Hartford, has made
his campaign upon the issue of extrava-
gance in State expenditures, familiar
Democratic battle cry. Like a good
many other States, the Nutmeg State
has run daft in the establishment Of
commissions for the regulation of affairs
which in the past were left in the hands
Of the Legislature. Commissions cost
money to maintain. and as the money
to maintain the Connecticut commits
sions goes pretty generally into the
pockets Of Republicans, the Democrats
are naturally against rkcm.
Judge RoBBRTsoN recently spoke at
New Britain, denouncing what he
termed Che extravagapce of the party
in control. 1t is always the party in
control" that holds the purse strings too
loose The Republican answer to him
is that since 1897, when the State debt
was $3,l17,i7s, it has been reduced by
$2.9o2 $50, until now, minus the cash in
the treasury, it amounts to only $2l4, 5s4.
Since 1900 bonds to the amount of ST.
2ss,ooO have been paid, and the Repub-
licans promise that II they are continued
In power, as the Hartford Courqnt puts
it, "the problem will be how and where
to reduce the State taxation, which has
already been removed from the indi-
vidual citizen altogether
That Ia one Of the things the Demo-
Gratis most deplore. They argue that
because the taxes now levied are indirect
the citizens do not realize how they are

CHICAGO, Jan. 2-Magnates of the
American Association gathered at the
Grand Pacific Hotel to-day in advance Of
their meeting which is called for to-mor-
row and transacted some committee bust
ness of a routine nature, which is aimed
to facilitate the deliberations of the club
owners when they meet in formal session
in the morning. The committee on consti-
tutional revision, consisting OF Messrs
George Tebeau. Thomas a. Barker and w
II. Watkins, held a conference and finished
their report, which is to be submitted to
the league. 1t will embody several impor-
tant revisions. chief among them being the
recommendation that the league adopt the
assessment plan In preference to the per-
centage plan now in use for the purpose Of
providing the expenses of the league body.
II the recommendation is adopted IL Will
entail the assessment on each club OF its
pro rata share OF the actual expenses or
conducting the league, including the sal
aries of umpires and officials, instead or
deducting for that purpose a percentage or
the gate receipts, which may provide sum
in excess of the leagues needs or may re-
suit in a deficit. In either case the ques-
ton of what to do with the surplus or
deficit proves a source of friction which is
removed by the assessment plan.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 24.-With the arrival
here of the steamer Courier last night nav
igation was opened in part of the Ohio
river after complete suspension of almost
two months. During that time seven large
packets and dozen smaller ones and hun
dreds of coal barges have been anchored
here.
Two small packets were wrecked by the
breaking of ice gorges and the number
of barges lost will never be known. The
total direct loss is placed at 100000. The
indirect loss is much greater. 1t is stated
that the loss of one of the largest pack
cts by being laid up is 81 900 per day. The
river is open for navigation now only be-
tween Louisville and Maysville. KY, so
that none of the through packets up the
river for Pittsburg or down the river for
Mississippi points is yet able to run on ac-
count of the ice.
While freezing weather again prevails
through the Ohio valley. the river is now
too high to be again closed up.

Coney Island gave way Sunday night and
sunk the towboat Adele at Browns Land
ing east of the city, together with a barge
of coal. Loss $4,000. Three men employed
on the Adele whose names could not be
learned are missing and supposed to have
been drowned. The river has been rising
rapidly here since midnight.
