Eagese Mem Charges With the Eafcr-tle-awataf
State Fands.
Criminal action was begun this after
noon (Feb. 24,) against Eugene Moore,
ex-auditor of the state for the embezzle
ment of $23,000 state money, being in
surance fees collected by him during bis
last term of office.
The complaint is signed by the Attor
ney General, and recites nine counts,
which in effect charge Moore with em
bezzlement and larceny of the money,
and failure to account for the same to
the state.
Attorney General Smythand County
Attorney Munger join in the prosecution,
thus depriving the case of political or
partisan features. Mr. Moore's attor-
neya are H. C. Brome of Omaha ana
Reed of Madison, who was formerly law
partner of W. V. Allen.
It is understood that Moore's defense
will be that the act under which the fees
were collected was unconstitutional, and
that the claim will be set up that no fees
are legal except those required to be
paid by the Btate treasurer.
Mr. Moore, it is claimed, will go west
as soon as the preliminaries of the case
are adjusted, and that he will rustle
around among his mining property and
friends there for the cash wherewith to
make good the shortage. Lincoln Call.

Pittsburg. Pa., March a. The
4MiKal train nassed over the Ohio state
"line and ouTot'the eld McFJnley dis
trict at 8:40 -last- Jiut. The dense
thrones at stations did not decrease.
The passengers were all well settled in.
their places in. the first half hour,
and then begm the discussion of the
Bvening's doings. AH the newspaper
men agreed that no such crowd of Can
tonians had ever been out before.
"Don't forget the workingman,
major," cried one man, as the president
elect mounted the train. He bowed his
acknowledgements. Those about him
saw he was visibly affected, and as he
came from the train platform to greet
his wife after the Canton farewell, bis
eyes were moist and voice tremulous
with emotion. The Grand Army band
played "Home. Sweet Home," as the
train pulled out of Canton, and this was
still sounding in touching refrain in
Mrs. McKinley's ears as the major
came to sit beside her.
The hundred miles' to Pittsburg was
an uninterrupted succession of ovations,
although the train had not stopped
until Pittsburg station at any point 'but
at a water tank.
Mr. Webb Hayes of Cleveland, sob of
ex-President Hayes of the escort com
mittee, stood by the major at some sta
tions, but at many stations he appeared
alone, springing quickly from his chair,
ever alert to return the compliment of
the ovation with his acknowledgements.
Beaver Falls, New Brighton and
Rochester are grouped .about Beaver,'
Senator Quay's home, and at these
points acres of people Had gathered
about the stations and as the president
elect appeared there were fireworks and
whistles and other demonstrations.
The Pennsylvanians are no less enthus
iastic than the Buckeyes of McKinley's
own district.
Just at midnight the train again
started on its journey eastward, with
the majority of the party commencing
to think of retiring for the night.
Crete, the foreign policy of Unsw, tne
position of England, France, and the

matters of current interest.
The Cadiz (Ohio) Republican calls
attention to the fact that during the last
two weeks the trade journals report the
placing of orders for more than 100,000,
000 tons of steel rails; that these are not
for new railroads, but' for repairs where
needed. These orders involve a very
considerable business and mean the em
ployment of thousands of men for a
year, in all the various lines of industry,
from the preparation of the ore to the
laying of the rails in the track, together
" with all the allied industries, connected
with the output of the rails. The iron
trade is one of the very best indicators
of the general state of the business com
munity, because in these times it per
meates so many avenues, and is our most
valuable metal in more ways than a few.
In 1890 Omaha had a 'population of
only about 30,000. Did the growth of
Omaha from 30,000 to over 125,000 in the
BacceediBg ten years hurt the state of
Nebraska? Did this growth of Nebras
ka's metropolis retard the growth of any
other part of the state? Would Lincoln,
Fremont, Grand Island, Colambus, Cen
tral City, or even Fairbury, have grown
more rapidly than they did had Omaha
reaaained stationary? Did not Omaha
capital help to build up scores of Ne
Ixaaka towns and Tillages, and, what is
more, help to develop industries that
have made a home market for Nebraska's
products? Would any town m Nebraska
have been more prosperous u the city of
Omaha were on the east side of the
Missouri and paid tribute to the state
treasury of Iowa as does Sioux City?

The populists are beginning to talk

John Sprecher, ex-senator from this dis

The machine is now in good working
order and those who were on the inside

BIDS HIS TOWNSMEN FAREWELL
President-Elect McKinley Start ea HU
Jearaey to WashlBgtea.
Canton, March 2. Promptly at 6 p.
m. yesterday the bands, military club
and citizens' bands began to organise
in the city hall square. Captain Harry
Frease, who commanded the famous
Canton troop during the campaign, was
)iif marflhal. and Cantain H. L.
Kuhns, his chief of staff. They soon
brought order out of chaos in the assem
bled multitude, and more devoted es
cort man never had than that whioh
shortly before 7 o'clock marched to the
McKinley home. A platoon of white
gloved policemen headed the line and
back of this came the Canton troop.
This is an organization oi nearly luu
representative citizens, organized early
in the campaign to receive, escort and
otherwise entertain the visiting dele
gates. They wore military coats, broad
brimmed hats, top boots, light colored
gauntlets, and are all well mounted and
well drilled in cavalry tactics. The
troop left' for Washington today and
will participate in the inaugural parade.
Following the troop came Canton's
famous Grand Army band. This in
turn was followed by the Third batal
ion, Eighth regiment, Ohio National
guard. This regiment was to have been
honorary escort to the president-elect
on the trip to Washington and from the
capital station to the hotel, but the fail
ure to secure satisfactory railroad ar
rangements prevented this, as well as
other Ohio military organizations to
join in the inaugural demonstrations.
Three companies, a signal and a hospi
tal corps, constitute the battalion.
In the order named were the Canton
Business Men's association, Grand
Army posts, old soldiers, the First Ward
Republican club, of which Major Mc
Kinley is a member, the Second Ward
Republican club, other clubs and socie
ties and unorganized citizens of Canton,
Massillon and other surrounding towns.
Thus organized the column marched
through the public square and up Mar
ket street bill, passing the McKinley
home and then counter-marching on
Market street. When the Business
Men's association was opposite the Mc
Kinley gate the column halted and
waited for Major and Mrs. McKinley
and their attendants to enter the car
riage in waiting.
This carriage was drawn by four
splendidly caparisoned horses and
around it the members of the Canton
Business Men's association stationed
themselves as a Kuard of honor. Two
mounted aides rode abreast of the car
riage horses, and the business men com
nleted the hollow square in whioh the
carriage moved.
Electric Ulaaaiaatlons.
The McKinley arch just at the foot of
Market Street bill was illuminated as
flarTmpgg fell over the city, and shone
resplendent as the column marched
under it, going to and from the Mc
Kinley house. Hundreds of colored in
candescent lights sent their soft rays far
along the street on either side, and made
bright for the time the decorations and
statuary, now worsted by tne weainer.
It was probably illuminated for the last
time and the marchers as they passed
looked backward for a .last glimpse of
what is now the most conspicuous re
minder of the exciting campaign, in
Canton last fall, in which hundreds of
thousands of people from all -quarters
participated. It will be with regret
that the erasing of this structure will be
viewed by Cautonians.
There was no detour from the direct
route to the station made by the column.
Along the line the carriage containing
the president-elect and wife was kept in
a halo of brilliant light from flambleans
emitting lurid red rays, replaced from
tmft to time as they burned dimly. At
various points along the line colored
fires were also burned, and though there
was no organised effort in that line, in
dividuals at various places sent sky
rockets and roman candles whizzing
through the air. As the head of the
column reached the trahV and halted,
the rear pushed forward, and the
crowds from the sidewalks mingled
with the marchers, until the platform

USES HIS PITCHFORK.
Tillman Delivers a Speech on
Armor Plate Frpuds.
Then coming to the armor plate ques
tion, he said: "Instead of U3 controlling
the nsonbpolies, the monopolies have
this senate in their Test pocket."
Senator Hawley. at this charge, half
rose from 'the chair, as though he would
interpose an objection, then changed
his mind and sank back.
"I would hate to say , or even insinu
ate Mr. Tillman continued, twirling
his glasses in his hand'that these armor
plats manufacturers have .their 'paid
BgVSMB IB MBO vo.
Thest Mr. Hawley rose, beginning:
"Does the senator dare"
Mr. Tillman took the words from his
mouth. "I dare to say," he shouted,
"that so far ns I can see there are things
here that can be explained on no other
theory."
Hawlev Braaas Bias as a Liar.
"If the senator dares to my or even' to
insinuate such a disgraceful thing, he
says.what is untrue, and what .is un
worthy of a gentleman," Mr. Hawley
replied very deliberately and emphati
cally. The galleries were crowded and at this
exchange of charges a deep nusn suc
ceeded their buzzing.
Senator Tillman was unruffled. He
thrust a hand into bis trousers pockets
nonchalantly, and looking over to Sen
ator Hawley, coolly returned: '.'To that
I can only my, it is the galled jade that
winces."
Senator Hawley turned pale and
trembled visibly.
"If the senator applies that to me, I
have a sufficient answer," he said
angrily. Two or three senators gath
ered around Senator Hawley, endeavor
ing apparently to calm him. Finally
he walked with them' into the cloak
room, while Senator Tillman continued
his speech. "I do not want to say any
thing harsh, God knows I have got
enough vitrol in me now."
The GeTerameat Looted.
Going on with the subject of armor
plate, he said he could see no explana
tion for the state of affairs except that
the manufacturers had their friends in
the senate chamber. There was proof
that the government was to be looted to
the extent of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000,
ret senators said: "We can't help it."
The trusts had the government down
and their hands in its pockets, yet if
any one opposed them, if any one pro
posed that the government do its own
work, make its own armor plate, sena
tors were quick to bring out the awful
specter of socialism."
Said Mr. Tillman: "The country's
eyes are on us. We are already dis
graced because we do not hasten to do
the bidding of Wall street fast enough.
The touch of the button between Wall
street and the senate seems 10 nave
been broken somewhat lately, and so
the metropolitan press is set upon us
to whip us into line. ' Continuing, Mr.
Tillman said there was still a darker
rjaae in the history of the dealings of
the Carnegies with the government.
He referred to the charges of making
armor in 1894.
"The thieves were caught," he said,
but they were released. The secretary
imposes a fine, but this glorious presi
dent of ours, who, thank God, goes out
of office in two days more, remitted the
fine. ' And yet, in the fac3 of these facts
a senator with his thick skin gets up
and undertakes to twit ine with slander
ing the senate." -He
continued to lecture the senate,
saying he had no doubt the proposition
would go through.
"The old guard never surrenders," he
exclaimed. "Ton get up here and
squabble over your little $10,000 items
and let these million dollar steals go
through like greased lightning." He
had, he said, convinced himself that the
cost of producing armor plate did not
exceed $200 per ton. He said, however,
that the naval committee had placed the
amount at $400 because it was necessary
to do so to reach an agreement,
and because they had in mind that the
bill must run the gauntlet of the house.
"Where," he said, "gag law is in full
force and effect; where a man, an Amer
ican, must crawl on his bglly like a
worm, or fawn like a whipped cur to
get recognition or anything." He said
they had also borne in mind that it
would have to run the gauntlet of the
moguls of the senate committee on ap
propriations. Mr. Quay followed the speech with a
motion to hv Mr. Chandler's motion to
reduce to $300 per ton on the table. The
motion was lost yeas, 12; nays, 36.

Dr. Frink wired George Anderson to

Charges That the Armor Plate Maaafac

Senate Who Were Robbing the Gevera-
meat Takes a Tarn at Speaker
Rejoices Tkat Cleveland Is'Golag. . Tp
Washington, March 2. The senate
pressed steadily forward on appropria
tion bills Monday, making such prog
ress that no further apprehension is felt
as to the passage of the great fiscal
measures. The District of Columbia
bill was passed early in the day. The
naval bill brought out a spirited debate
on the price of armor plate and the-es
tablishment ox a government armor rac
'tory. The bill was laid aside at 9:90 p.
m. for an executive session. Senator
Tillman provoked a turbulent scene
when he charged that the armor plata
.manufacturers had their paid agents in
that body who were robbing the govern
ment. The charge was resented by
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, where
upon Mr. Tillman replied that "the
galled jade winces," and it looked for a
time as though a personal conflict waa
imminent, until Mr. Hawley was -escorted
to the cloakroom.
Senators Hawley and Squire had
ipoken against Senator Chandler's
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill to reduce the price of armor plate
to 900 a ton, and Senator EUtins had
complained of the lack of information
en the cost of armor plate, when Sena
tor Tillman took the floor. J
"Although a member of this naval
committee,' began Mr. Tillman, who
followed Mr, Elkias, "and though I
have given as much time to this as I
could spare from my other duties, I am
not able to give the senator as much; in
formation as he wants."

SOLONS DISCUSS PRIZE FIGHTING.
lively Skirmish la the House Over a Bill
to Saparess Paillstlc ews.
Washington, March 2. The house
galleries were thronged with visitors all
day, bnt the crowds witnessed nothing
beyond the dullest of routine matters
until the last half hour of the session,
when the bill to prohibit the transmis
sion of detailed accounts of prize fights
by mail or telegraph, was brought up.
This led to a very lively skirmish, in
which prize fighting was denounced
on all sides, and the advocatas of the
bill insisted that the "sickening details
should be suppressed in the interest of
good morals," but the bill met strenu
ous opposition on the ground that it
would tend to establish a censorship of
the press. At the end of the debate the
adversaries of the measure outvoted the
friends of the bill on several 'filibuster
s ing motions, but an agreement for a re
cess until 10 o'clock today put an end
to hostilities. The bill now becomes
the unfinished business whenever the
call of committees is reached, bnt as
conference reports have right of way, 'it
is doubtful whether that order ol busi
ness will again be reached this session.
The senate bill to test the merits of-the
patent' postal card of the Economic Pos-'
tal association was laid on the table.
"But I am abb) to say,'' he added
with emphasis, "that no recent expend
iture of the government has been, so
reeking with fraud and so disgraceful to
thorn connected with it. When Secre
tary Whitney made the first contracts
for armor plate it was understood that
