"We find that there is an impression that the ordinary and current expenses of the etat have largely increased of late years. This is not true, as can bo easily shown by the reports of the auditor of state. The classification of the expenses of the state government for the fiscal year ending Oct. 1, 18S8, is foand on page 42, and the figures are given as follows: "Fxecutors and administrators.. .............. 113,261 8.5 Jtnreau and departments................ 10,5s3 34 nevolent institutions....................- 4SÖ.40! 47 lU-fcrroat. ries ... W 00 Mate prisons ....... - 1V2.M7 70 J.idieiarr r8.?Vt 4. Printing". 21.1-37 2 s Miscellaneous expenses 9,807 94 Total .. Il.0-21.2ii 07 It will thus he seen that the ordinary current expenses were very little above $1,000,000 not 50 cents for every inhabitant of the state. The expenses would have been less then a million had it not l-een that the new asylum at Logansport cost $32,lrj3.S0 during the last fiscal year, which is included in' the above cost of benevolent institutions. The ordinary and current expenses will be increased this year by the opening of the new asylums at Richmond and Evansville, the care of the state-house and an increased coet of the feeble-minded institution by rtaon of the increase of the number of the inmates, but it is hardly rxsible with these to run the ordinary and current expenses above $1,300,000. It is not fair to speak of expenditures for enlargement of e täte institutions, for row institutions and the soldiers' monument as current expenses. The members of all parties vote for thtse expenditures they are extraordinary and not current expenses. Add to the current expenes above 51,021,242 07 f tat nniversity and normal school 2.,ooo uO Additional hospitals for insane and oidiers Orphans' home 222,42"? 07 fold:ers' monument .... ........ 7.f'vS fit lot rest on tute debt - 34.2:i 29 Total SI .622,872 07 which was the total expense of the state last year for all purposes. It is wholly untrue that the current expenses of the state have been largely increased. It phould be a matter of pride to every citizen cf the state that they are so small, and that no state in the Union can begin to snow such a record when population is taken into account. This good record has enabled the stite to borrow money at a less rate of interest than any other state in the Union. If the direct tax bill Incomes a law, we are informed by Gov. Gray that this state will receive over $700,000, and not a cent will be deducted for per cent, as he refused all propositions of agents to work for the passage of the law upon a per cent. It is for the members of the legislature to determine how much money need to be borrowed aiter the receipt of this $700,000. Perhaps the state may be able to get along with this amount by the state oflicers borrowing money to pay the interest on the public debt, as Gov. Gray did. But the legislature is abundantly able to determine what amount, if any, should be borrowed. Partisanship Run Mad. Our eccentric contemporary, the reads what it calls the "party press" of this town a lecture for the tone in which it has discuped the proceedings of the legislature. The Xevs is about as partisan es any newspaper wo read in its treatment of men and measures, excepting on rare occasions, and the very article to which we refer strikingly illustrates its incapacity to deal with any question which trenches on party politics in a fair and independent spirit. If a democratic member of the house had walked down the aisle and dealt a blow with his list at a republican member, sitting quietly in his seat, the Xcs would have hardly been able to lind language strong enough to characterize the offense or the offender. But a republican member, a man of stalwart physique, did this thing, the victim of the assault being a gentleman of slight physique, and the Xevs hastens to declare that the latter as as much at fault as the former, because, forsooth, he had used some intemperate laneuage in the pending debate. "There is no whit of difference," exclaims this alleged non-partisan journal, "between Mr. Willard and Mr. Lixcx in the quality of their orTense." In other words, a democrat w ho transcends the limit of parliamentary courtesy in his speech is as culpable as a republican who uses physical violence. It is sufficient evidence of the one sidednesa of this view that among the republican leaders who essayed the defense of Mr. Lintx yesterday there was not one who pretended that his action was justified by anything said or done by Mr. "Willard, and not one who claimed for a moment that "the quality of their offense was the same." It will be seen that the Xeut out-heroded Herod in this business; that it went much farther than the parti?ans of Mr. Likck on the floor of the house, and attempted to make it appear that his misconduct was no more serious than that of his victim; and we beg to call especial attention to the fact that the assumptions which underlie the Xevs1 editorial comments are wholly inconBiatent with the facts, as they are detailed in its own legislative reports. And the journal which quibbles after this fashion in order to screen a republican for an offense of the gravest character actually ventures, in tho same breath, to lecture what it cal's, with delicious sang troid, the "party press" for treating the men and measures of the opposite party in an unfair and uncandid manner. The assurance of it all is amazing. And in eo far as it criticisms are directed to The Sextlnkl, we eubm.it that they are unjustified. The Sextinel has cot stigmatized the republicans in the legislature aa "thieves" or as "swindlers" or as "ßcoundrels" or as "ruffians," and the AVar knows it. It has aimed to discuss the various measures proposed during the

session Upon their merits, and has addressed its arguments touching them to the intelligence, the conscience and the common sense of it3 readers. It has spoken at times with severity,. but we think with entire justice, of the efforts of the minority to block the wheels of legislation, and of the attitude which it has maintained on questions of vital public interest, such as election reform, the school-book question, etc. But it has not indulged in wholesale vituperation or abuse, nor has it aspersed motives, except when thone motives were so obviously partisan or corrupt that there could be no honest misconception of them. The X' trs goes so far in its partisanship as to condetrn the legislature for adopting a 6ystem of procedure which was forced upon the majority by the avowed determination of the minority to prevent, by the methods of filibustering, the transaction of the legitimate business of the session. The majority found itself reduced at the beginning of the session to the alternatives of adopting what the Xnv-f, in the organic lingo, styles the "gag law," or allowing the session to be frittered away in idle talk. The "gag law," so called, is a salutary one, and it ought to be the rule in every legislative assembly. The minority has rights, and we insist that these rights have been fully respected throughout the session. But the majority also has rights, and it has duties and responsibilities as well; and these duties could not have been evaded, nor these responsibilities ignored, without a wanton and cowardly betrayal of the people's trust. But for the "gag law," which the partisan Xevs condemns, the session would have ended with absolutely nothing accomplished, and the Xcws would have joined lustily in the republican chorus of denunciation of the majority for waiting the session. As it is, although not so much has leen done as wo could have wished, the legislature has scored several notable achievements, the benefits of which v, ill be felt by the people of the entire Etate tor years to come. It M ould have done much better but for the unpatriotic course of tho minority; it would have done absolutely nothing but for the firmness and wisdom with which the majority shouldered its responsibility and asserted its rights. This inut be the verdict of every fair-minded person, upon a careful review of the record as it stands to dato. Hight's Glorious Triumph. No statesman ever achieved a grander triumph; no cause ever had a more complete victory than have come to Mr. Parnell and the great movement of which ho is the leader. The conspiracy to destroy Mr. Parxell and his associates, and to discredit the home rule cause before tho world, was plotted with Satanic ingenuity, and carried out with diabolical skill. The London Tinv, the most famous, and once the most powerful journal in all the world the chosen mouthpiece of the privileged classes of the United Kingdom the organ of the church and the crown, and the hereditary aristocracy of the realm was the most active asrent in the conspiracy. It surrendered its columns freely to the service of the damnable plot, and in a series of cleverly written articles entitled "l'arnellisra and Crime," which created a profound sensation throughout two continents, it attempted to identify Mr. Paknei.l and the other home rule leaders with a s ries of dastardly, criminal projects in the interest of Irish independence. The writer of these articles, by a cunning and skillful use of his materials, by weaving a web in which direct falsehood was the warp and innuendo and half-truths the woof, by an droit admixture of suspicion and inference and conjecture, succeeded in presenting Mr. Parxell and his fellow-patriots in tho character of men who, professing publicly their disapproval of disorderly and violent methods were privately conniving at them, and conspiring with base and viie creatures, with whom they pretended to hold no communication, to destroy life and property on a wholesale scale. Upon foundation of falsehood and slander thus prepared, a superstructure of forgery was reared. The Tims fortified its charges with letters purporting to have been written by Parxell. Eoax and others, of a gravely criminating character. These publications produced a profound effect upon the British mind, and the tories and all other enemies of the Irish cause were happy in the belief that it had received a death blow. The friends .of , the Irish movement in England and in this country were disquieted. Not that they believed, for one moment, that the Tints' charges were true. On the contrary, their confidence in the integrity and manhood of Mr. Tarxell and his colleagues was never shaken, and their faith in their ultimate vindication was absolute. But the danger wan that the vindication would come too late. The difficulty of disproving the Times charges in season to counteract the effect they were obviously producing where the battle for homo was to be fought, and won or lost, seemed insurmountable. The cables of the last few days have told how the evidence of the forgeries were discovered; how suddenly and completely, at the very moment when the prospects of Parxell, Egan and other home rulers seemed tho most desperate, the infamous conspiracy was laid baro and these grand leaders of a grrnl cause stood before the world in the majesty of their manhood and integrity, clothed in the panoply of uprightness and patriotism; how the wretch who played the chief role in the drama of infamy confessed his villainy and sought refuge first inflight and then in suicide; how tho proud and once powerful journal which had prostituted its columns to the service of the conspiracy was brought to its knees, in abject apology to the men it had traduced ; how the haughty leaders of tho privileged classes who have been heaping fresh indignities upon th Irish people under the inspiration of the Times' crusade of slander were covered with mortification and shatne. It was a grand issue of an unholy campaign of fraud and forgers. It has already caused a tremendous reaction in public eentiment throughout Great Britain. It has filled the lovers of liberty all over the world with ' rejoicing, and it has filled the champions of caste and privilege and tyranny with dismay. It is one of the most signal victories ever won by righteousness over the forces of in

iquity. It marks the beginning of a new epoch for Ireland. Nobody doubts that if a general election could bo held in the United Kingdom now, a handsome majority for home rule would be returned to parliament. Gladstone would be commissioned to crown his life work with the most splendid achievements of hi great career, and Ireland would quickly enter into the enjoyment of local self-government.

A Petty Usurper. Alvin P. Hovev, it appears from the extraordinary communication he transmitted to the legislature Saturday, proposes to st himself up as a dictator in the state of Indiana; to ignore any laws which may be passed by ttie people, acting through their representatives in general assembly convened, which are not to his liking; to assume powers and functions which no governor of the 6tate of Indiana has ever exercised or attempted to exercise; to arrogate to himself authority which he has no more right than the humblest citizen to assume, unless the legislature sees fit to clothe him w ith it. In a word, Alvi x P. IIovey proposes to defy the constitution, override the law, and play the role of an autocrat and a tyrant. If an expressive vulgarism maybe pardoned, Alvin P. IIovey has bitten off a good deal more than he can "chaw." He is no doubt a very great statesman, a profound constitutional lawyer and all that sort of thing. But he is not nearly eo great a man as he imagines himself to be ; and is certainly not greater or wiser, or more powerful, than the people of Indiana, as he seems to believe. If he persists in his present ridiculous attitude, he will find this out in the very near future. It is said that Alvix P. IIovey was born on the day that the great Napoleon died, and that he has for many years been laboring under the delusion that the soul of that mighty warrior, when it burst the fetters that confined it to his frail body, did not vanish into infinity, but winced its way straight from St. Helena to Posey county, Indiana, where it entered the body of Indiana's future ruler, making of him a veritable child of destiny. It was doubtless under the spell of this superstition that the message of Saturday was written. But our Napoleonic governor is not going to play despot in Indiana. Of that he may be well assured. Indiana is not a d'f potisru, but a republic. Her system of government is a carefully devised scheme of checks and balances. She has a written constitution which clearly defines the respective powers and functions of the several branches of her government. They are three in number executive, judicial and legislative co-ordinate and each indejendent of the other in its defined sphere. The powers of the governor are very limited. He is the commander-in-chief of the military and naval forces, and may call them out to execute the laws, suppress insurrection, or repel invasion; he may approve bills which pass the general assembly, or he may allow them to become laws without his approval, or he may veto them, but they may be passed over his veto by the same vote by which they were originally passed; he may grant reprieves, pardons and commutations for all offenses except treason and cases of impeachment. His other duties are chiefly ministerial. The principal duty with which he is charged is "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." He must not only obey all laws himself, but must see to it that others obey them. The constitution does not clothe him with the power to decide as to the constitutionality of laws. That power is confided exclusively to another branch of the government the judiciary ; and when the governor assumes to exorcise it ho trespasses upon the domain of a coordinate department and becomes a mere usurper. Alvin F. IIovey, in the message of Saturday, told the general assembly very plainly that he did not intend to obey certain laws mads by that body, although he has no more right to ignore them, or to question their validity, tj-tan any private citizen. He declared that he would regard no one as a state officer who did not bear a commission signed by himself as governor, and that he did not propose to issue commissions to any officer whom he did not appoint; and he further asserted that to permit the general assembly to control the appointment of statutory officers "would be to abandon our republican form of government and sink into an oligarchy.'1 This, we do not hesitate to say, is the most astounding deliverance ever made by a chief magistrate of the state. It is an open and contemptuous defiance of a coordinate department of the government, and of that department which is nearest to the people, and which is clothed by the organic law with the largest measure of power; of a department which can perform any function of government not expressly forbidden to it by the constitution, subject only to its responsibility to tho people, the judiciary alone being competent to determine when it ha3 transcended its constitutional functions. As to tho merits of the governor's contention they are quickly disposed of. It has none. If to permit the general assembly to fill offices created by statute is to abandon our republican form of government, it was abandoned many years ago, for the general assembly has been filling such olßces for a generation or more. Tho propriety and expediency of this method of appointment have been questioned; its constitutionality, never. Oliver P. Morton, Thomas A. Hendricks, Conrad Baker, James D. Williams, Albert G. Porter and Isaac P. Gray recognized the constitutional power of the general assembly to do this thing, and regulated their official acts accordingly. On Feb. 17, 18S3, Gov. Porter vetoed a bill providing for the appointment by the legislature of trustees of the benevolent institutions. In this message a very able and well considered paper he never hinted a doubt of the power of the legislature to make such appointments. His objections were on grounds of expediency alone. It remained for Alvin P. IIovey to discover that the legislature had no power to do that which it has been doing through most of the history of the state with the concurrence of all the great men who have filled its executive chair, and to arrogate to himself the function of passing upon the constitutionality of its acts, a function as foreign to his office as

that of raising revenue, making appropriations or deciding lawsuits. Alvin P. IIovey, we fear, is an ass. lie has already ruadsa laughing-stock of himself, and we apprehend that there is a good deal of trouble in store for him if he does not quickly climb down from his lofty and dangerous perch and stay down. Libraries For the People. There are few things which friends of education and progress in Indiana will regret more than the defeat of the townshiplibrary bill in the senate on Saturday. We are glad to be able to record that of those who voted ior the bill all but one were democrats, and we believe that the bill would have obtained a general support on tho democratic side if its objects had been understood. In the brief discussion of the question it became apparent that many senators supposed it to offer a continuation of the present worthless 6-. stem. Nothing could be more erroneous. The object of trie bill is to cure the defects of that syster.-; to provide for gathering np and preserving what remains of the old libraries; to insure that they will be kept at places easy of access to the people ; to provide for the moderate increase of the libraries from year to year. It is to be hoped that the fatne bill will pass the house, and will receive a more favorable consideration when it com s strain to the senate. It is to bo expected that the more partisan class of republicans will oppose it. They do not wish to see any measure pass that will be considered creditable to the majority of the legislature. Certainly no democrat ought to oppose it unless ho has reason to believe that his constituency will object to it, and we do not believe that any fear of that nature is well-founded. We trust that Mr. Loo.sdon will renew his fight, and even if nothing further can be done we take pride in tho democratic record of ten to one in favor of libraries for the people. The Ftate conventions of the two parties declared unequivocally in favor of the collection of labor statistics, and early in the (session the house redeemed this promise by the introduction and speedy passage of a bill creating an adjunct to the bureau of statistics and appropriating money to carry out the purposes of the act. Certainly no higher work could engage the legislators' attention than that of providing for the collection and dissemination of statistics relating to labor. It is upon this work that the legislature itself must depend for information upon which to base intelligent action, an-, when thus informed, many of the questions which are now vexatious might be easily solved and legislation necessary to the laboring classes and creditable to the state might be enacted. The bill passed the house on the -4th of January and went to the senate for action. This action has never been taken and the bill is still in the hands of the senate, but ready for passage. The bill should pas. There is no objection to it in either party, but, on the contrary, both parties are pledged to make it a law. Action has been too long delayed already, Vat there is time to make amends for the- xlelay if the senate acts promptly. It is on the calendar of the senate as "house bill No. S-V and has been printed and laid upon the desks of the several memlers. O, wn.T a cabinet! Blaine the dishonored and discredited republican leader, twice refused the presidential nomination by his party because of his oked record, rejected once by the people for the same reason, the most corrupt man that has ilgurcd in American politics since the days of Aaron Bcrr, the man who as speaker of the house sold his decisions for money, and who has oeen mixed up with so many disgraceful intrigues and scandalous jobs that a bare list of them would fill a column or two Blaine takes the "seat ot honor!" Then comes Winoom, whom the pople of Minnesota retired from the senate because he got rich too quickly while a member of that body, and who has for several years past been a Wall-st. speculator and a Washington lobbyist. Pkoctoh of Vermont is a nonentity, Noijle of Missouri an obscurity, Tracey of New York a discovery, Wanamaker of Pennsylvania a money-bags, and Miller of Indiana a keen-witted lawyer, who represents nothing and nobody but "Bex and me." Gen. Harrison has passed over all the representative men of his party, Blaine only excepted, and robbed political cradles and graveyards for his "advisers." The result is a queer lot a very queer lot, indeed and the outlook is for a queer administration. TnEcryis going up from all over the state, "Kill tho dogs." Hydrophobia is prevalent, and dangerously bo in many counties. Cattle and other live stock have been bitten by mad dogs and have had to be destroyed. In a neighboring county the stock afflicted was killed and burned. The odor of the roasting flesh attracted the dogs for miles around. They came to the carnival and soon were attacked by hydrophobia, and then in turn ran loose to bite and disease mero cattle. There seems to bono remedy beyond kilting the dogs, but that is not easily accomplished, at least not until they have in turn attacked other dogs or the wandering cattle of the farm. It is a serious question in many localities. A few days ago Gov. IIovey issued a commission as state librarian to Jacob P. Dunn, jr., who was appointed by the general assembly. Now Alvin P. IIovey tells the general assembly that it has no power to ek-ct or appoint any officer to any office created by statute and that he would not recognize officers so appointed or elected. The office of librarian was created by statute. So it seems that IIovey proposes to defy a precedent made by himself, as well as a long line of precedents made by his predecessors. Mr Griffiths, reporter of tho supreme court, complains bitterly at the action of the legislature in reducing the exorbitant emoluments of his office, although it leaves him the same salary that a judge of the supreme court receives, and makes allowance for clerk hire. However, notwithstanding the monstrous injustice (?) to which Mr. Griffiths has been exposed, lie announces that he shall not resign. Nobody supposed that he would. Mr. Griffiths is not of the resigning sort. What Alvin P. IIovey doesn't know about the constitution would fill an immense library.

DUDLEY IN THE SWEAT BOX

THE BOODLER CUTS A SORRY FIGURE. Confronted With One of the Original Block of Fl to Letters lie Refuses To Swear That He Did Not Write It, But Tries Hard to Get It. Wish. Cor. NT. Y. Evening Tost. Judge James of the supreme court of the District of Colurnhii having denied the motion of W. V. Dudley's counsel to quash the subpena under which Dudley was required to submit himself to examination touching his celebrated letter before the commission in Washington, issued from the supreme court in this city, the examination came ofl this afternoon. The reporters were excluded by the commissioner at the request of Dudley's counsel, and the result was that Dudley, or some one on his behalf, subsequently stuffed the correspondent of the World with a story that the Evening Poet had produced nothing but "a multilated copy," and much other fabulous matter. The fact is, the original letter was produced, as supplied by Mr. Clapool, IT. !S. district attorney at Indianapolis, and has been returned to him, after strenuous e.!orts on behalf of Dudley s counsel to get possession of it. t The following is the stenographic report of the more important portion of to-day "s proceeding. Mr. Worthington of Washington appeared for Dudley, Messrs. E. P. Wheeler and Lawrence Godkia for the Evening J'o.ft. After Dudley had been questioned as to his acquaintance with various persons, the examination ran on: Q. "1K you know whether thoe gentlemen orauy of them have ever seen r tir signature?" Mr. W'orihingcon "1 obj-ct to the question and advhethc wito.s to decline t answer it, because it djes n it appear that the answer cau be jertineui to any of the isu . in this c:ie." .Mr. ti.Jicin "I repeat tho question. Io you decline to answer it?" Wituem "You have the tatement of mr counMr. Worthinston "You have to act upon it." Witness "I decline to answer it. upou the advice of my counsel." Q 'Stat' wh' ther yon were treasurer of the repnlilican national committee uu the'2Ith day of October, lsss." Witre-ss "Shall I answer the question?" Mr. V'rthin,';on "I have no objection to your answering the question." A. "I Q "I.id you have a confidential cl-rk while yoi were acting as inch treasurer if so, who was hs or die?" Mr. Worth! n ton "I object to that question on the gmurul that the answer cannot be material t r-nyof the is.sucs in this rise, and a lviuo the witie s ! decline to answer it li.r tle.t reason." VTiti.e-'s J.-eline to answer the question." li "When; were the headquarters ot the national repnVicin committee, of which vou werj treasurer, uu t'.ie 2Uh day of Oetober, 1SSS?" A. "My own headquarters were at the Everett l.ot:?e in Now York." J. "Where was tho head pjarters of the committee?" A. "!1 Kifth-aTO., New York Citv." i "Wiil you look at this letter, -ol. Dudley, and look at the Mjrnnlure which is annexed thereto, and state whether that is your fijrtiature or not?" I One of t!i! oriiua!s of the blocUs-of-rive" letters, now in pov-esMou of the district attorney in Indianapolis, wis here shown to the witness.) Mr. Worthington "Will you kindly allow Die to look at that letter b'fore the witness answers the quotion? Colonel, you have already lieen -dvised whnt answer to make to that question. You had better look at the I-.'tter. Lcttr handed witnefO I obiect to thHt question, because the letter which is ode red to the witness is evidently mutilated, and has something written upon it which dies not pertain t tho original letter, and for other reasons which the witneis himslf will state." Witness "I shall decline to answer that quetion, and sta as follows: I am advised by mr counsel, (ieoree llis,s, as well as by my counsel present, to decline to answer that question, or any otherqustion calling for information as to what letto.- or letters I did write, or to which my name is appended, other than the one referred to in the complaint, for these reasons: (1) JVcause evidence relating to any letter, other than the one upon which the complaint is based, is not pertinent to any issue in this case. ) Because 1 aiu informed and believe that since thist;it was begun the attorney of the United Mates lor the district of Indiana, or some eno in his behalf, has presented to the grand jury for that district charges against me growing out of" the alleged writin by nie of the letter referred to In the complaint in this cae, or of some similar letter, and that, notwithstanding the fact that the grand jury, after fully investigating the charges, have adjourned without finding any indictment or making any presentment against me, a new prosecution based upon substantially the p:miia charges has been most unjustly and oppressively instituted against nie before a U. S. commission r in Indiana, and that it is intended to use any Information that may be extracted from me iu this proceeding as a pretext for continuing this last probecutiou, and I therefore claim my privilege." Mr. (Jodkin "I more to strike on t all after the words, 'I decline to answer that question.' " !. "Now, will you look at the letter which I have just handed to you, and point out what diilerenccs, if any, there be between that letter and the letter which vou have set forth in your complaint in this action" Mr. Worthincton "I advise the witness to decline to snswer the jticstion. for the reasons he has just stated in his answer to the las tprcvious question." Witness "I decline tu answer for those reasons." Q "Do I understand you to ay. Col. I'udley, tinder the advice of counsel", th tt your answers to th last two qii"stions which I have put to you would ailect your et.itna in the criminal proeo dins which you state are pending in Indiana in any way ?" Mr. Worthington "I advise the witness to decline to answer the question or to further explain the grounds of his declining to answer this question." Witness "I nVeliae, under the advice of my counsel, to answer." Mr (rookin "Counsel for the defendant asks the commissioner to mark the papers handed to the witness upon the foregoing questions for identification as exhibits A and K." The Commissioner "The com missioner, In compliance with this request, h::a market the two papers respectively as exhibit A and exhibit IJ." Then enned a discussion between counsel nnd the commissioner in regard to annexing to the commission a copy of the papers shown the witness. The commissioner, nt the request of Dudley's counsel, requested the defendant to allow the original papers shown the witness to be annexed to the commission, bat the counsel for the Ereniiid I'oA refused bo to do, on the ground that the obvious purpose of this request by the plaintiff was to withdraw the exhibit from the jurisdiction of the court in Indiana, which, o i his own statement, was inquirins into the criminal charges against the plaintiif, and thus to deteat the ends of justice by making it impossible to procure a trial of the charges in that state. Copies of the papers submitted were then marked for identification by the commissioner, who refused to allow the said copies to be annexed to the commission. As the matter now stands the counsel for the Evening I'orf will have to ask the Xew York supreme court to decide what elfect Dudley's refusal to answer ought to have on his suit in New York City. I Editorial in Evening Post. We print elsewhere a renort of the attempt to examine Dudley about his "blocks of five" letter in Washington. It will be seen that he refused to answer on the ground that what he paid rniht be used against him in a criminal proceeding in Indianapolis. This is a wretched plight for a "Christian gentleman," which is what both Wanamaker and the Philadelphia Pre say Dudley is. In by-gone days the Christian gentleman was not this sort of a man. When he heard of anybody having a letter of his of a disgraceful character, he used to chase the person who had it round the world if necessary, and overwhelm him with information of an exculpatory nature. In fact, it used to be a serious matter to accuse a Christian gentleman of anything discreditable; he was so fruuk and candid in his explanations, and made you so ashamed of yourself for doubting his loyalty and truthfulness. IStit now he seems to run like a thief when anybody brings a charge against him, nnd hen he is caught quibbles and evades like a horsemonger. Helping Along the Good Cause. Philadelphia Pcord.
