Petty Politicians Around The Capital
Make Figures Lie.

Alleged Statistics To Show Extrava-

Jefferson City October 10-Although
tie resolutions committee OF the
Democratic State Convention held in
this city September Ia rejected, by
unanimous vote, some alleged Stats
tices prepared by some Of the one
horse Democratic politicians around
here in support Of the charge of ex-
.rayagance against the present State
Administrations, these alleged Stats
tics have been printed from time to
time in ONE of the Democratic news
papers and campaign documents. A
iaborad effort has been made, by
Misrepresentation of facts, to show
that under Republican administration
the different State departments have
been more expensive than under
Democratic administration, and parti-
cularly that the expenses Of the Gov
ernor's office ard the Executive Man.
sion have been greater under Gov
ernor Hadley than under Governor
Folk. The facts Of the case, fully
known to theee ~fabricators, are as
follows:
During the first twenty months Of
Governor Folks administration there
was spent for contingent expenses
including furnishings and other incl
dental expenses of the Governors
office, the sum of s6,186.95; and for
The first twenty months of Goyeraer
Hadley's administration there was
for the same purposes for the
Governors office, the sum of $3,92s.f4
which shows that instead of Cover
nor Hadley having spent more, hz
expended $2,265.51 less than Naa
reat for ~imilar purposes Under Gar-
2raor Folk.
The sane difference exists in so
FAR as the expenses Of the Executive
Mansion are concerned. Under the
first two years Of Governor Folks
administration the expenses cf the
Executive Mansion amounted to SIC,
355,06 while under the Two years Of
Governor Hadley's administration.

Q 800 90, or a difference of 1885,
90 less spent by Governor Hadley
IAN was expended by Governor Folk.
Tho Republicans have had the de-

NEW YORK. January IA general
increase of per cent in wages for all
classes of its employees is being considered
by the Long Island Railroad Company.
This information was contained in a

upon which the management is now
figuring will amount. it is estimated. to
an increase of approximately S260.OO0 a

FOREIGN MARKETS.
LONDON,

LONDON, January 15.-Although the
volume of business on the stock exchange
during the week was small. the tone was
generally cheerful, especially at the end.
when buying by those anticipating a
unionist victory at the elections caused
an improvement in British securities. The
large Indian loan. of which the under
writer's had to take half. or about 49,
10000, checked business early in the
week, while the knowledge that other
loans were being underwritten caused
temporary weakness among gilt-edge Sc
curities. but this disappeared with the
renewal of investment buying. and prices
closed higher on the week. Consols led
the improvement, while foreign bonds
continued steadily upward, principally on
continental support. Rubber shares at
tracted considerable attention, and West
African and mining shares remained
buoyant and strong.
American securities were weak and I'M
certain, being subjected to variety of
railroad policy. fears of unfavorable de-
cisions in the Standard Oil and American
Tobacco suits and the break in cotton
gave the bears the upper hand, and al
though large interests endeavored to ad-
vance values their efforts were. unsuc-
cessful, and the marked closed today
weak and from to points lower than
last Saturday.
The fortnishtly settlement revealed
that a large portion of New York ac-
counts had been shifted here on which
high rates were charged. indicating the
intention of bankers to discriminate
against American securities as well as
to discourage materia. extension OF
credit until the financial conditions in
the United States are more settled.
Money became considerably easier and
discount rates sympathetically weak. and
with the unexpected Improvement In the
Bank of England's reserve the market
will not be surprised II there IS an early
reduction in the bank rate.
