The Cronin conspirators, at least taree of them, have been taken to penitentialy. Kunze is to have a new triul. The pity of it all is that those who are the real conspirators are to-day enjoying their liberty while their poor dupes sulTer the penalty of the law.

Prize fights, policy games, public gambling houses, burglaries and what not in the way of crime do not attract the attention of the police but all the heads of the department have been Bpending their time and some one elsa's money to bring back here from St. Louis a man who played it smart on a too confiding gentlemen.

Ex-fiovernor Poster received the complimentary vote of the llepuh lican members of the Ohio legislature yesterday for senator. Mr. .Mulbtead received one vote from tha Republican side as a testimonial for the remarkable efforts of the Cjmraorcial (l.izotte to Gtir up quarrels insido tho party. The Commercial Gazette, or any no'.nipaper, has a right to be engaged in this sort of thing but the editors should not expect party re wart Is. While only a few Republicans in the United States senate took that position a year ago it seems that all but one Republican in the Ohio legislature is now of that way of think

ing.

The livening News has of late been asserting with the utmost degree of cor tainty that Senator Voorhees and Judge Woods, of the United States court, had entered into some sort of a bargain by which Judge Wooda had secured a promise from tha senator c£ his vote for the confirmation of the nomination of the foi mer to be a justieaof the supreme court. Of course the accusation was too astounding to be credited. Such talk is common to street corner gossipa but is not admitted to the columns of newspapers conducted with any appreciation of tho responsibility of printers ink. Were auch a thing true, and well enough established to permit of tho unequivocal assertion, any newspaper having acquired

the

information would tell

about it for its news value. We see by the Gazette that Mr. Voorhees denouoces it as a lie. Judge Woods cannot afford to take notice of it.

CROOKED CITY FINANCES.

Cleveland, Ohio, Has Sull'er.ed From Irregular Methods. CLEVELAND, January 11.—A morn

ing paper publishes a statement submitted by an expert bookkeeper, showing irregularities in the old accounts of The city of Cleveland aggregating about £•'!,- .h0,000. Nearly ali of this money was paid out by the city without the approval of

the

council, although the laws of

ine state of Ohio distinctly require that every claim be included in the regular ciaims ordinance. Tha publication creates a great eensation. Nearly a year ago the city council authorized the board of revision to examine the books^relating to the city's financial history. It was necessary in the prosecution of the work to look over the books in the city treasurer's olli^e, and the disclosures made were startling in the extreme. These were hinted at, in the report of the experts to the board of revision. When the latter made their report to the board of con-ncilmec, however, slight- if any reference was made to them. The experts signed the report to the board of counciimen under protest, and only after it had been represented to 'them that these irregularities had been investigated before.

Last night Julius Lembeck, one of the experts, sent the council a comuiunica iion asking that- his name be stricken from the record, saying that he had been induced to sign the same by misrepresentations that the former investigation was not complete that glaring irregularities had occurred, and that if givan access to the buoks again he would make full exposure free of cost to the city. Mr. Limbeck's communication waa referred back to him with the insinuation attached to it that ihe matter had better be allowed to rest.

After the council adjourned ex-Presi-dent Lembeckgf.ve tho press acornplete statement of the irregularities occurring durinsr the period named. It showed that 83,000,000 had been paid out without the approval of the council and in a most peculiar manner. The entries upon the books ware all made in a misleading and uncertain way. Ttis most itartlmg feature of th9 report, however, i-3 a table showing that .-'1,000,000 or §2.003,000 '.vera paid out and asner'eil to have been paid out without any entry in anybook to show to whom the money was paid or for what, purpose. A public meeting will

probably

rir'n

be called to take

action if the council ignores the startling disclosures contained in the report.

"Tho Fairie'e Well" ia a very pleasing Irish play, equipped with a number of beautiful scenes. It serves excellently to introduce in r. new role Mr. Carroll Johnson. Mr. Johnson, as the popular minbtre!, wea noticeable for his versatility, and even under the burnt cork—there was a glimpse of dramatic ability. lie has taken up the Irish charaotftr of Larry D^-e with its brogue and songt-, complately, its he might say himself, and dropped the minstrel entirely. Hi'5 excellent voice, fine figure and graceful dancing serve bim as well aa ever. It is a pleasure to record the success of Mr. Carroll Johnson in his new departure and to see him at tho front of a very creditable company, in a tirst-rate play, well placed on the stage. The Fairy Well act is made the opportunity for beautiful drops and line set, and good business. The Hallow E'e.n scene introduces the remarkable Irish bagpipes, an instrument, which cariiag it a own lungs. lis jovial jigs set tha feet tripping and otarled some merry dauctng, in wli ich half a dozes, including the interesting little Z^lla, distinguished themselves as long distance dancers.

GOOD CANE MOLASSES

Is What til* Cano Growers Are I'roduclM^—Anuvial .Statu

IV years ago sorghum making was an infant industry in Indiana, but now the business has developed until it ia beginning to attract attention of wide-awake farmers all over the state.

The growth of the industry is due largely to the efforts of the Indiana Cane Growers' association, organized sight years ago- That association has demonstrated that Indiana can be made one of the greatest cane-growing states in the Union. Here in central Indiana but few fanners grow more cane than will furnish sufficient sorghum for home consumption, but in the southern counties large acres of land have recently been given up to the cane-growing business. Quite a number of extensive sorghum factories have been established in the state during the last year. The best mode of growing and handling cane, the beat way of marketing 6irujt, b?st varieties of cince, the futura of sorghum, uud the effects of chemicals on sorghum sirup, are notne of the suojecta being discussed at the annual meeting of the Cane Growers' association, which began yesterday at Indianapolis. The session opened with tin addrcsa by the president, A. S. Chapman, of Madison. Among those who will read papsra during the session are A. P. Clalland, of Madison, the mo9t extensive aorghum manufacturer in the stats: W. F. Laitzmao, S. W. Til'ion, C. 13. Nichoi-:on, i,. M. Tomlinson, John Richmond and Prof. R. T. Brown.
