GRAFT GALORE.

Pennsylvania ne wcapitol cost four
million dollars and it's furnishings nine
million. At first thought one would
say that was rather peculiar; but
it must be remembered that there was
much greater opportunity for graft in
the matter Of furnishing the building
than in contracting for it's erection,
and it seems that the grafters were
not at all bashful about embracing the
opportunity.
Governor Pennypacker backs up the
grafters and state officials who aided
them in running the skin game on the
state by declaring that the building
was cheap at the figures and denying
that there was any wrongdoing.
Speaking OF the governors defense Of
those who had charge of the work the
WashingtonPOst says that he drops into
percentages and averages as expertly
as does the government department of
commerce and labor when it proves by
prices of grain and live stock have been
greatly increased to the farmers the
prices of bread and meat have been
| reduced to the consumers.
Mr.. Pennypacker has not been heard
! from, however, since the state treasur-
| er, who is democrat, unearthed a
| palpable case of graft in the purchase
! Of the flag pole. We have great curl
| osity to see how he will figure out that
transaction to be all right and the flag
pole a cheap one. The pole cost eight
hundred and fifty dollars. That struck
the treasurer as being rather steep, so
he wrote to the Cramp Shipbuilding
Company, describing the pole and ask
ing at what price such one could be
furnished. The company replied that
it would let him have as many as he
wanted for seventy-five dollars apiece
1t will take some tall figuring On the
part of the governor to convince the
tax payers of his state that the fas
pole erected was cheap one.
Should the republican machine b.
defeated in the election next Tuesday
there will be some scared state Off
cials and contractors around Harris
burg, for they will be looking for 81
Investigation into the expenditures TO
the erection and furnishing of tn

The Statistical Correspondence
turns Of the slaughter houses of Prus-
sia for 1905, finds that the slaughter
ings OF dogs for food increased 33 per
cent and that Of horses 19 per cent
over the figures of 1904, the total num-
Der OF dogs eaten in 1905 being 1,56S
and the number of horses S1.3l2.

wHIskEY CASES COMPLETED


In the news columns OF the city pa
pers for the past few days the gensr-
al topic has been whiskey trials that
are being disposed of daily by the
mayor until it has gotten to be a mat
ter OF less Importance than AT any
previous period in the past few years.
There have been so many cases In q
line that the general public are be-
ginning to have a tired feeling fer
that kind Of news. yet IL Is read with
interest by some classes The long
chain Of defendants that have been
tried, link by link, broke this morn
ing when probably the last of the
series, Jesse Crabtree. faced His
Honor on this familiar charge. Mr..
Crabtree was arrested with the other
victims several days ago, and was at
the first trial bound over TO court on
one charge. The same defendant was
accused in another. but the prosecut-
| ing witness did not appear until this
morning. and swore that he had pur-
chased whiskey from the defendant
The mayor considered the evidence
and placed him under a SI00 bond.
Probably there will be q rest on whis
key cases for q few days. just as was
before the recent disturbance, when a
week or more elaped without a sin
, gle arrest on this charge-Durham

The book, -Four Years Behind the
Bars Of Bloomingdale, Or the Bank
|ruptcy of Law in New York, by John
Armstrong Chanler, will be anxiously
|awaited by a large portion Of the read
ing public. The author tells how he
was kidnapped and confined in that
|sO-called state asylum for the insane,
Though he was never insane in the
least degree. A correspondent of the
New York Times, who has seen az ad-
Ivance copy of the book, writes that
paper the following concerning it:
The contention OF the book is that it
| is pOSsible-even easy-in this enlight-
ened age to clap a sane person OF
wealth and distinction into an asylum
! for life. Mr.. Chanler declares that
| the popular belief that Rloomingdale le
| is public institution is erroneous. II
| is really private corporation, he says
| known as the Society Of the New
| York Hospital" He describes it as
| the Bastile of the Four Hundred
He says the place is operated for prof
and as a convenient prison for The
! rich insane, the criminals in good So
iciety, and for persons whose relative!
and friends wish them for selfish rea
sons to be regarded as insane. HI
lsayS he was one of the star bOarderS,
for whose keep 800 a week was pait
out of his estate, which is valued a

PERMANENT OCCUPANCY Oh
CUBA.

In discussing the American OCcu-
pancy phase of the Cuban question the
Philpadelphia Record remarks that
sit will require more dexterity to get
out of occupancy than to get in 1t, and
the longer unsettled government shall
last the more difficult will be the
weaving process"
When it first became apparent that
the United States would have TO take
control of affairs On the island the
Washington Post predicted that If the
proposed occupancy lasted until the
meeting of congress it would become
permanent.
Congress meets four weeks from next
: Monday. Governor Magoon will have
to be "up and doing if he is going to
restore autonomy and establish gov
ernment By the people within that
time. AS it is an impossibility, really.
for such a thing to be done we must
expect the American occupancy to last
until after the cOnvening Of congress.
What then? According to The Posts
prediction it will last indefinitely or,
rather, permanently.
We would like to know upon what
must have some sound reason for sup
posing that should congress on as
sembling find the Cuban government
in the hands OF representative Of the
American government, it would adopt
legislation looking to the annexation of
the island or to the establishment of a
permanent protectOrate with some form
of local colonial government. The
Post is not the kind of paper to make
predictions Of such important proceed
ings, involving grave national and
also, international questions, without
believing it has good reason for SO do
ing It must feel confident that public
sentiment and opinion among members
of congress is growing in favor of ac-
tion of that kind. In regard to public
sentiment on this subject 1t speaks OF
the "opinion that is widely prevalent
throughout the United States and in
which thoughtful citizens are rapidly
approaching practical unanimity." Will
public sentiment drive congress to such
action as it drove that body and Presi-
dent Mckinley into war with Spain, OF
will the members Of congress, without
regarding public sentiment, become COL
vinced by Cuba's past record, her pres
ent condition and future prospects a:
to her ability for self-government, tha
permanent occupancy is a necessity?
Whether The Posts prediction b.
correct or not, the trend Of public sen
timent and opinion is in that direction
! and it is not the Jingoists who ar
leading it, either.

him come up for trial. The judiciary
nominating committee has prepared Il
statement showing that Mr.. Hearst has
pending against him in the local courts
suits for damages aggregating seven
and half million dollars. The state
ment declares in part:
| While it has long been known that
Mr.. Hearst has been a much sued man.
the exact extent Of the litigation di-
| rected against him has not been ap-
preciated. IN the calendars of the
supreme court in New York county
iare actions against his newspaper pro-
perties for libel damages aggregating
S2,4oO, 900, while on the calendar of
the supreme court in Brooklyn are
Hike actions aggregating $503,O00 Ac-
ton pending in the local United States
lcircuit court amount to S125,0 more,
Tor total Of s3,02S,00 of libel actions
lalre3dy on the court calendars in these
1.-TWO counties. In addition to this, as
a result of the fireworks explosion at
Madison Square on election night OF
1902, when, for the advertisement of
Mr.. Hearst and his newspapers q big
icelebratiOn was held there, damage ac-
ltiOns in behalf Of the persons killed
land injured are pending to the aggre-
gate Of s1,449,C00.
| This makes a total of s4,477,00O OF
factions against Mr.. Hearst and his

dars Of the courts. Because of the
fact that attorneys do not have to file
with the court any records of ACTIONS
when brought, but only file notices
when the cases are to go on the cal
endars or trial, there are a large
number of libel actions which have
Ibeen brought against Mr.. Hearst's
newspaper properties which do not
as yet, appear on the court records

the accrued interest and costs on the
