The
Presont Warden hag Made
Oroat Savings for the
State
UNDER THE NEW LAW.
The Cost of Maintenance Is Only
One-third What it Formerly
Wa.
An Kxellent Knsi iillvn Oflleer,
Time ha proven Unit Governor liol
comb made no nilslak when he selected
lion, (ieo, V, Iiidlgh of Nebraska City
to be wurden of the penitentiary, Mr,
Leiden I naturally qualified a au ex
ecutive oflleer. lie ha liud a large ex-M-i'ionco
in conducting his private bu
iiins at Nebraska city, wliero he ha
beeu very eucccesful. Hiuce he accepted
the position of warden he ha given the
eiifiio careful attention to the manage
ment of the institution for the stub) that
behave to hi private busiues, lie
superintend all matter of improvement
und repair, Mid since Its construction
the penitentiary wa never lu so good a
condition. A I well known to the peo
ple of the state all thi ha been brought
about under the most adverse clrcutn
Mtuuce. It would b folly to repeat the
etory of Mr. Ildigli'a etruggle with the
republican board of public land and
and building. When the old board
would not allow him to draw on tho
fund of the state for the support of the
prisoner Mr, Leidigli drew heavily upon
hi private fund and kept the prisoners
at work and supplied thoin with food
and clothing. Under the new board Mr
f ,1'idlgh bus had better treatment. They
bavo co-operated with him In every man
ner possible. Home of the contract by
which the prisoners are employed are
iiotu advantageous u they should be
and the board will try and cuncel them
and make new ones, Thcsi contract
were made under the former manage
inent when the state paid the con true
tor 40 cent per duy for the support of
each prisoner in addition to allowing
him all the proceed from the labor of
the convicts. The contractor either em
ployed the convict for his owuuseor
Miib-let their labor to sub-con tractor.
It i some of these sub contracts that
are still in operation, The usual appro
priation for the support of the peniten
tiary under republican management ex
ceeded 1100,000 for each two year and
a a rule it was entirely consumed. The
hist legislat ure appropriated only f 00,
000 for the next two years and the pros
pect are thut a large sum will remain
unused at the close of the bieutiium. In
other word there is a sure saving of
f 10,000 because there wus that amount
less appropriated and a probable saving
of f20,000 more by the failure to draw
the amount appropriated. The warden's
report for the last ix months, ending
J uye ,J0, show that the actual cost to
the state for each prisoner for the six
months wa f IM, 7!l winch amount lo
'2i cent per day per capita, instead ol
4; (.nls per day per capita as was paid
by the stale under the old management.
Under the new law the saving will be
considerably greater. The appropria
tion by the last legislature lieciiiiii'iivnil
able April 1. For the three mouth,
April, May and June, Warden I-idigh
hit draw n Irom this sum only 5,.T,M .'Jd.
He has used Irom the earning made by
the convict i?.'i, 021 .M7, making a, total
of M,40l.l'l paid for the three months.
During the three month the earning
by the convict amounted to 1 1,11 1. 't. Mi).
Deducting this from the expenditures
leave .'1,000.2 1 a the actual cost to
the stale for the three month, or tll.-
,TJ mt day. I he average number of
convicts r day was !)1H, which would
mean that Ihe cost per capita per day
wat only 11 ecu' for the last three
mouths. Owing to the tact that less
clothing and fuel is required in th sum
mer than in the winter, the (s r capita
xsnse in the winter will be more, prob
ably reaching a high iin20 cents per
capita per day or about ou half whul
the stiitn formerly paid. The taxpayer
of Nebraska will appreciate the honest
and faithful service of Mr. Leidigh. No
amount ol republican clap trap about
the honor" and ' ciedit" ol Nebraska
will Miilllcieutly explain llni rx'-esive
charge of III past. The figure are tfat?
best evidence.

President K. Iteiijumln Andrews, of
Drown university, lias resigned his posi
tion us president und member of the
faculty, The cause of hi resignation Is
his belief lu and determination to speak
for bimetallism. The controversy began
when ('resident Andrew sent the follow,
lug telegram to the Itocky Mountain
News, upon hi return front an extended
tour lu Kiirope,'
"PiioviniiNCH, II. I,. July 2. Owing to
the manifest strength of the blmulullist
Interest iu America, there I actually
considerable prospect that France will
agree before hand to open her mints

out such nu agrccmcut, France is certain
to follow the United States. In cese
France and the United States proceed,
or either alone, Oi'eut UriLiuu will heart

Loudon, the India mint will reopen, lh

nearly all think American Initiative the
sure way to international bimetallism.
P.. liKMJAMIN Aniiiikwi."
The dispatch wa published by the
News and widely commented upon by
the press of the country, itepresi ntatlves
of the big duilie lu the east were sent to
Interview President Audrews to learn If
the dispatch correctly stated hi view.
He ulwuy replied that it did.
Thi greatly Incensed the millionaire
contributor to the university, nude,
pecinlly John D. Kockcfeller. ltockie
feller had promised to endow Ihe school
with f 1,000,000, but declined to do so
if an ndvornt of free silver was to be
retained ut the head of the school, The
matter wa brought la for the corpora
tion of Ilrown university by ex-Congressman
Walker of Massachusetts, and at his
suggestion a committee wa appointed
to confer with President Andrew to
prevail upon him to change hi view
upon the financial question. It wus
their duty to educate the great scholar
by suggesting that he change hi view
or it might lei necessary to get a greater
(?) scholar who was better schooled on
the financial question or at any rate had
lesscourage to express hi view. The
committee appointed to confer with Pre
ident Andrews addressed th following
letter to him:
TIIK I, kTTk.lt TO I'lior, AN1HIKW.
"To (he Itev, Ii. Ileujumin Andrews, I),

' In compliance with your request, the

"The committee was appointed under
the following resolution, to-wit:
" 'Kesolved, 1 hat u committee, consist
ing of the chancellor, Judge J urine, and
Judge Waylund, be appointed to confer
with th president in regard to the Inter

"The makers of these remark ex
pressed the highest appreciation of the
service rendered by the president iu in
creasing and diversifying the education'
ul facilities and efficiency of the univer
sity in inulitplying the nuinberof studenl
resorting to it. and at the same lime
professed lor him personally th warm
est admiration and regard. They signi

particular, having reference to hi view

ol such coiling, and expressed th Is liel
thut the view were so contrary to the
view generally held by the friend of the

W K Annin In Ihe bin Journal Tells
Of ihi.Sonstoi's Labors.
There may be those who imagine that
lh populist press of the country Ii a
maliciously and unwurrnntedly accused
Senator Thurston ol laboring mors In
the Interest of the stockholders of th
Union Puclflo railroad than in the inter
est of Ihe Mtople, The only reason that
can bo imagined for his doing so I that
the stockholders probably pay Mm a
arger salary than th people do. Tbey
did before his election as senator and
probably they continue to do so. if
there are any who doubt hi absolute
Itillilit to his riillroml plliilils ll urmilil
be wed to road the following written by
w, ! Annin, the Washington corres-
ondentof the State Journal. Annin
bus frequently misrepresented populist
and democratic senators and congress
men, but we know of to reason why h
would nccuse Thurston of laboring for
the Interest of Union I'uciflc stockhold
ers unless It was true, Annin snys:
"No senator during the past few weeks
has devoted himself more assiduously to
hi duties in the senate than ha tho
uulor member Irom Nebraska. Ho ha
been one of the first to arrive upon th
floor of the senate and on of th last to
leave, Thi ho been du to the con
stant consideration ol Senator Harris'
resolution regarding th Union Pacific
railrrud, the aim and object of w hich ha
been to block the plan for th reorganl
cation of that road without forecouie
of the government's lieu. Senator
Thurston has made a very strong pre
sentation ol th opposition to govern
ment ownership ol th I nion l'uclllo
road and tin equally strung defense ol
the reorganization plan. Hi chid op-
anient have been Senator Allen ol N
iraska and Senator Morgan ol Ala
bama, The Ihrett gentlemen, for a
week before the discussion of th confer
ence report on th t hi iff, occupied most
ol the time of the senate every day. Th
object of Senator thurstou wa to defeat
consideration of the report and to hold
the floor until It was nken Irom him by
Ihe senators in charge ol th tariff bill.
