for the husbands, they are looking q
little worn and thin and are going about
the streets mournfully singing the follow
ing dirge;
OH to be dirty! dirty!
Never to mop and sweep,
Never to dust down cobwebs,
The windows in to keep!
No more fresh paint in the hallway,
No blanks on the kitchen floor,
No chairs first newly vanished,
Or hands off, upon every door.
No more cold meals in the
Or art squares at noon to snake;
No pals of lime to tip over
Or mattresses out to take.
But Just peace and a refuge
Where house cleaning friends are still
And collars and trousers and neckties
May lie on the floor at will.

BANKS ASK CHEAP MILLIONS.
Many New Applicants for State Deposits.

Because of the widespread de-
mand for money the State Treasury
balance of $4,000, 900, on which
only per cent. interest is required,
is most attractive just now to bank
ing houses. AS result there are
applicants on file with the State
Board of Revenue Commissioners
from rs banks and trust companies
desiring to become State depositor-
les. The State deposits are now
carried in about 900 institutions.
None of the requests will be
granted for awhile. At present the
payments from the State Treasury
are exceeding the revenues, and as
a consequence the State funds are
being withdrawn from a number of
banks and trust companies. One
weeks notice is given in advance
Of such Withdrawals.
Reduction of State revenue is
only temporary. The personal
property tax will be coming in soon,
and then the surplus will begin to
grow again.

DREAD OF BERRY AND HARTMAN
Andrews Not in Hurry to Open al Full Blast.

Republican State Chairman An
drews, at his headquarters, on Lo-
Gust street, Philadelphia, Tuesday
said he was not yet sure that upon
his return there next Monday he
would carry out his original inten-
tion of opening the establishment
then at full blast. He might defer
the opening for about a week. 1t
is supposed that he wants to wait
until he shall see how the people
will receive the news of the formal
notification of Democratic State
Treasurer Candidate John G. Har-
man, at Bloomsbury, next Wednes-
day. There seems to be great dread
of the notification speech that State
Treasurer Berry will make, as we'll
as of the Harman opening gun.
Chairman Andrews said that he
had received requests from nearly
every county that Republican Can
didate John O. Sheatz should be
sent there to speak. Mr.. Sheatz
said that if he shall get the oppor-
tunity he will be heard in every
county. He is to attend the Re-
publican clambake in Allegheny
City this week, and may make an
address in Pittsburg before return
ing home from that function.
Ex-senator Lewis Emery, Jr.,
was in the city Tuesday, and said
that he did not expect to take an
active part in the present campaign
for State Treasurer.

Delaying the Prosecution.

There are no signs of a movement
to begin criminal proceedings in the
courts of Dauphin county against
those inculpated in the grating op-
erations at the State capitol, at the
September session. The report of
the commission was made to the
Governor three weeks ago and de-
clared uneq,,ivocally that conspira-
cy and fraud had been revealed.
The supplemental report signed by
Senator Dewalt and Representative
zimmerman recommended criminal
proceedings at the earliest possible
moment. The Dauphin county
criminal court sits on Monday, Sep
tember 23rd, for the fall term. Un-
less the cases are tried at that term
they cannot be heard until after the
election. They may not be tried
at all.
While the Legislature was in ses-
sion the minority members insisted
that in the event of adjournment
before the completion of the work
of the investigating commission,
provision be made for the publica-
ton of the report. In fulfillment
of an implied agreement to that ef.
feet resolution was adopted that
the report be made to the Governor
with an understanding that it be
Immediately made public. The
regular report signed by all the
members of the commission and the
supplement signed by Messrs. De-
walt and zimmerman were present
ed to the Governor, but only parts
of them have been given to the pub
lie. 1t is said that the salient fea-
lures of the supplemental report
have been concealed.
The obvious purpose of thus Jug
Cling the subject is to pervert the
work of the commission to the SER
vice of the machine. The real facts
are concealed in the reports, and
the measure of culpability as well
as the persons implicated, left to
conjecture. Meantime the machine
managers will claim that it is the
intention to prosecute and punish
the perpetrators of the crimes. But
they don't prosecute and they can't
punish until after the election, and
if the result is favorable to the ma.
chine candidate there will be nei-
ther prosecution nor punishment
The experience in Philadelphia is
substantial evidence of this fact
The machine is completely restored
to power and plunder there.
