A NOTABLE achievement of the late
Governor Hogg of Texas vas the "Jim
Hogg quart An early struggle of his
official career was against short quarts.
Bottles holding a pint and half and
called quarts he pronounced swindles,
and threatened to prosecute dealers in
liquids whose bottles fell below the
standard. There we're some vigorous
protests, then some fearful appeals, but
Hogg was firm aud cOntended for the
honest quart. The result was that the
dealers ordered larger bottles and had
blown into them "Jim HOgg quart,
and the Jim Hogg quart is known all
over Texas today. Gov. Swanson can
not hold as much as the late Gov. Hogg,
but '1here are Others" and he might
insist on the full quart.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 10. 1906.

OFAIL the sensations developed be-
fore the Armstrong committee, none ap-
preached in dramatic force the sudden
and unexpected appearance in the Ne"
York Assembly chamber yesterday alter
noon of Judge" Andrew Hamilton.
Defiant to point where ne even found
words of praise for the ''yellow dog,
accusing under blanket indictment all
the trustees of the New York Life In
surance Company, Hamilton, the former
legislative agent, through whose HANDS
over million and aquaiter OF insurance
money passed, broke from the cover OF
silence which has enveloped him since
The insurance inquiry began. Utterly I'M
expecledly Hamilton appeared before the
Armstrong committee and for twenty mi
nutes defended, defed and arraigned the
trustees. in speech filled with bitter
sarcasm and fierce invectiye. 1t scented
q tremendous eficrt of man pressed to
the ditch, to throw from his shoulders
the load placed there by Others, which
Included practically every sin in the in
surauce category. He did not tell what
he had done with the insurance money,
he gave no list of legislators who took
the money, although he admitted frankly
that it had been taken, nor was his
speech in any sense an accounting. he
declared that the blame was not bis,
and he did not hesitate to place it where
he thought it belonged-on the trustees
ofthe New York Life whom he term
ed "curs and cOwards," every one OF
whom. be asserted most positively, knew
of his acts, their object and the expense
of them. The only one OF his recent as
sociaies who was spared in the slightest
was John A. Mccall, to whose death
there were several references. In brief
be charged that every payment made TO
him, even from the Paris Office and the
$50, 80 of steel syndicate profits divert
ed from the company to the legislative
agent by J. p. Morgan & Co, was re-
ported to the auditing committee, passed
upon and thereby sanctioned by that
body. The general impression among
the investigating committee is rather an
admiration for HamiltOn's assurance than
belief that he had contributed anything
of value TO the insurance investigation.
Theg feel that he took this opportunity
to create favorable impression in the
ewes Of the world and to even up scores
with his former associates, but that Ham
iltons disclosures must surely result in
suits for recovery against other trustees
of the New York Life is the common
opinion of all but the committee.

The Miners.

indianapolis, Ind, March l6.-Tbe
policy which the leaders of the United
Mine Workers Of America are pursuing
is gradually becoming apparent. lu-
dications al the second days session of
the convention tended TO warrant the
prediction that before any actual consid-
GRAFTON of strike is taken up, ali jar
ring elements in the organization will be
sidetracked. Although it is entirely
extraneous to the main issue, the ques-
ton of an appropriation to the Western
Federation OF Miners 10 aid in fighting
the case of the miners under arrest in
the Gov. Steunenberg murler case in
Idaho may figure considerably. A con-
tingent in he organization has been for
years favorable to the Western miners,
and it is now stated by Western dele
gates here that fight will be made for
an appropriation. If this is done, some
action by the convention may be neces-
sary to keep the Western men in line
The action of the national executive
board last night in supporting President
MitcheiPs ousling Of Patrick DolarI from
the presidency Of the Western Pennsyl-
vania biiuminous district is another in
dication that peace prevails in the board.
Dolan and Uriah Dillingham; president
of the district this morning took their
seats and will act as delegates until the
credentials committee decides either for
or against them. As President Mitchell
and w. d. Ryan, the author OF the
Ryan resolution, have practically agreed
TO favor an appeal of the measure and
Vice President Lewis will give his sup
port, it seems pretty certain that action
in what Dolsn supporters can heartily
ioin will he taken AT once.

Mr.. Murphy admitted that In making out
this calculation he had waited for the sup
Elementary reports to come in.
William r. Hearst put put a statement
yesterday that the whole OF the financial
burden OF the campaign had fallen on him
personally and that he cannot afford 10 pay
watchers. He said:
You are doubtless aware that practically
the entire financial burden Of our cam
paign has fallen on the shoulders Of one
man who controls no monopoly. who never
engaged Ia a stock Juggling deal or pos
sessed or desired special privilege from
the Government, The money spent in our
campaign has been used for organization
purposes, but / And the burden so great
that the amount available for watchers 60

must therefore depend upon the patriotism
and loyalty OF the workers to win the fight
The opposition poll workers will be sup
piled with large sums OF money on election
day. but this money was first sxtorted from
the people by criminal corporations before
they gave it 10 Mr.. Hughes. They will re-
call il to their Golfers with added interest
in event Of his election. since they will have
power to reimburse themselves from your
incomes.
Mr.. Hearst issued a long statement es-
timating his plurality in Manhattan at w
100 1000, in Brooklyn at over $1,000 and
in the whole city at owe 300 900, and
predicting that the upstate counties will
break even, leaving him 200, 200 net. He
got at the metropolitan vote this way.
Last year Hearst and Mcclellan had together
more than $50. 600 votes; deducting 1901 600 foI
Twins and 50 700 more for Hughes's gain
over WINS, and consequent loss to the other
side leaves 200 900.
This would make Hughes run 10000 be-
