Two lltllo boys. Henry Ullllnpx nnd George.
Sorensen , aged 8 and II , were ill-rested yes
terday on the charge ot Iciceny. The ar
rest wes made by the owner of the Transfer
hilry , In the western pnit ol the city. The
! > oys live near the Union Pticlfle transfer ,
[ 'or some time past they have been ficquent
visitors nt the dairy , seeking employment.
They were often around the barns whllo
the owner and his hired man were milking.
The men left their vests hanging around In
various places , and on several occasions thny
missed small nmounts ot moneyleft In the
pockets. Yesterday the boys were thnre.
and the proprietor observed them looking
at the vests hanging on one of the posts of
the barn. Ono of the garments contained
$1.715 , nnd the proprietor steeped out of the
b.irn nnd watched the boys through a knot
hole. Ae soon as they thought the way
was clear they rilled the pockets. They
were at once taken Into custody and brought
to the police station In the rain. At the
station they confessed to having taken on
numerous occasions , amounts ranging from
f,0 to 75 cents. The Sorensen boy confessed
to having been the thief on all the occasions ,
but had divided with the other boy. Sorensen
son had used part of the money to buy a pair
of phoen , but the remainder of It had gone
for candy and nlcknacks. The Sorensen
boy Is the ton of.a widow with n largo fam
ily of small children , and for this reason the
dairyman concluded not to prosecute either
ot the boys. They were returned to their
homes and their parents ndvlstd to look after
them In the future.

The police were called upon yesterday to
settle n dispute that arose between M. Suits- :
man and a customer named Mrs. Warner.
The woman was preparing to move from the
city and had negotiated the sale of her house
hold furniture to the second-band man. She
wanted $50 for the lot and Saltzman offered
to pay her $35. When he got the furniture
In his store he concluded to cut the bill $5.
This created a dispute , and Mrs. Saltzman
Intervened ns a peacemaker by offering to
pay Mrs. Warner $2 It she consented to ac
cept It without letting Saltzman know It.
It appeared to be the best way out of the
difficulty and Mrs. Warner concluded to
take the olTer. After .she had given a re
ceipt In full for $30 In addition to the secret
pajmcnt of $2 hho returned home and Im
mediately made the discovery that her
daughter's $ G wedding hat was missing. She
recalled the fact that It had been left In
one of the bureau drawers and returned to
Saltzman's place to get It. It was found
lu Saltzman's possession and ho refused to
give It up. Mrs. Warner tried to argue with
him and convince him that wearing apparel
was not Included In the bill of sale
of the furniture , but Saltzman per
sisted In his declaration that he
purchased It with the other stuff.
The woman finally lost her temper and
accused the second-hand man of being
no better than a thief. This did not help
matters any. and the wedding hat was
locked up. Mrs. Warner visited the police
station and laid her complaint before Cap
tain Gardiner. Officer Covalt was detailed
to accompany the woman to the second-hand
store and make Saltzman disgorge. Saltz
man grew wild In his denunciation of his
customer , but when threatened with arrest
began to make propositions to her for a
settlement. Among them was the offer to
return the hat If the $2 paid by his wife was
refunded. The proposition was not accepted
and numerous schemes to Induce the woman
to "split the difference" wcro devised until
the officer proceeded to place Saltzmnn ami
his wife under arrest. The wedding hut
was Immediately produced and given to Mrs.
Warner , nnd the wnr was over.

Judge Seymour D. Thompson , the , nuthor
of those erudite legal works , "Corporation"
niut "Negligence. " Is n prlmo story teller ,
snxs the St. Louis Republic. Ho convoyed
a party of friends Into Thatcher's restaurant
tlin other evening , and , as ho noticed the
multiplied reflections of their faces In the
mliror-llned walls , he said :
"How much you look like your brothers ,
gentlemen. " Then he went on : "That re-
tnnlds me of good old Judge Amasa Hodfleld
of the Vermont supreme court. He and his
brother , Isaac , who was also afterward on
the supreme bench of Vermont , were ns like
ns two pens. People frequently mistook one
for the other , but they managed to preserve
their Identity with each other until Judge
Amasa was passing out of the dining room
of u Hurllngton hotel one evening when he
saw his biothcr approaching him.
" 'Why , Isaac , 1 didn't expect to see you
hero. How did this happen ? ' Then the Ju
dicial light found out , for his bend had como
Into violent collision with a mirror. Isaac
had dlsnppenred , nnd In his plnce was Amasa ,
very much abashed. Ho never could keep
a Joke on himself , however , nnd he told mo
the story once In his Inimitable dry way. "
"Tell us about 'Handsome Davis , ' Judge , "
said one of his companions. Judge Thomp
son protested. " 1 have told that story at
least - "
"Never mind. Let us have It again. "
And like the courteous gentleman ho Is , he
yielded.
"When I was In San Francisco , " ho began ,
"n full , good-looking old man used to come
to the olllco to sec ono of the stenographers
In my employ. I learned that ho was her
uncle , and that ho was ono of the California
pioneers. Ho told mo one day of his ex
perience with Judge Lynch. 'I've had n
grudge against my name ( Davis ) ever since
It came near hanging me , ' hu began.
'You , BCO , I wasn't so tough a looking cus
tomer in those days as now , and when one
of the mining camp fairies chastened me
"Handsome Davis , " to distinguish me from
the numerous other Davlses thereabouts ,
the name stuck. Well , ono day 1 was out
prospecting north of the city and I sud
denly found myself surrounded by twenty
nrmcd miners. "What's yer name ? " said
ono who seemed to bo the leader. "Davis , "
I ansv.-ercd. They exchanged glances , and
the spokesman said : "Well , Davis , git ready ,
we're going to string you up for klllln'
Jack Flynn. Thnt was a cowardly , sneak
ing trick , and you've got to pay for It. " He
led the way to the nearest tree , and I fol
lowed. between two of the biggest miners.
"You've made a mistake , mo , " I said. "My
name's Davis , but you have the wrong Davis.
I n ver heard of Jack Flynn , " I protested.
"Maybe not , but you shot the daylights out
of him Just the same. Como along. " They
threw the rope over n limb and told me
I had two minutes In which to say my
prayers. Instead of praying , I expostulated.
"I am from San Francisco , " I said. "Oh ,
yes ; maybe you are , and you are wanted
there bad , too , but you can't go. You've
got to take the train to kingdom come.
Hurry up and say your prayers. " Just then
a man mounted on mule rode un the knoll.
Ho was tall and slim and had n pointed
lint nnd beard. ' It was a Yankee Doodle
beard , " parenthetically explained the Judge.
"Just like that beard of Tom Carter's. "
" 'Mr. Yankee Doodle rode up to us , and.
transferring a monstrous quid of tobacco
Ironi ono check to another , said mildly :
"What are you gotn' to do , boys ? " "You
just wait a minute and you'll see what we're
goln' to do. This man put buckshot Into
Jack Flynn and we're goln' to swing him
for it. "
" 'Yankee Doodle looked at mo reflectively.
then remlnlscently. "You've got the wrong
man , fellers , " ho drawled. "The feller what
plugged Flynn Is Sam Davis , and this here
one's "Handsome Davis. ' He's from San
Francisco. I've seen him there. " Yankee
was evidently an authority among the fellers.
They held n little conference and concluded
to let me off. "We'll let you oft If you
treat the crowd , " was the announcement. 1
Before dinner was over the judge was pre
vailed upon to tell the story of another hair
breadth escape. "This was In Canada , " he
said , "and the hero , a brawny Scotchman
named McNab , who was a fellow-colporteur
ot my father. Rev. Seymour Thompson , be
fore ho entered this ministry. The two be
came separated for some reason on the night
of McNab's adventure. The Scotchman was
riding through a forest unarmed. Ho had
a package of bibles on one side of his sad
dle , and on the other a string of frozen
ssusages , which were to be thawed and
cooked for his breakfast. A highwayman
stopped McNab's pious reflections and his
progress at the same time. The Scotchman
was frightened. He never denied that. He
had a little money In his boot , and he
leaned over to remove the boot and satisfy
the demand ot the robber. His hand struck
against the frozen sausages. He bethought of
these and hoped they might propitiate the
gloomy neighbor nnd save his money. He
broke one of the sausages In two , and was
about to offer half to the highwayman , when
ho found himself nlono and heard the clat
ter of n horse's rapidly retreating hoofs.
Hadly frightened as ho .was , McNab laughed.
The robber had mistaken the cracking of the
sausages for the cocking of a pistol and fled.
"It Is too late for another , " said the
Judge , rising from the table , "but some
evening , between sips of sauterne , I will tell
you how McNab killed n witch with silver
bullets. "

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa
chusetts contributes n piper on English
elections In the current number ot Harper's
Magazine , In which he shows that the United
States Is not the only country which could
with advantage Improve Its political meth
ods. Senator Lodge writes :
The practice ot pelting a candidate and
the Indies who accompany him , accordIng -
Ing to the English custom , Is apparently
a common diversion In the English elec
tions. Sir William nnd Lady Hnrcourt
wcro pelted nt Derby , find I saw many al
lusions to similar Instances. There Is no
need , however , of multiplying examples.
I have given , 1 think , enough cases to
show the- orderly methods of political dis
cussion In England which our Anglo-
American critics would have us Imi
tate.
I now como to the matter of charges
made against public men during the can
vass for the purpose of affecting votes.
The correspondent ot the Now York Trib
une , In a letter written at the time , sums
np some of the campaigning as follows :
"Campaign lltcratuie by the ton ; roor
backs sprung In Ireland ; press extracts
showing how bad an opinion Lord Salis
bury once had of Mr. Chamberlain , nnd
how cordially that dislike was recipro
cated by the .Hlrmlughnin leader ; paral
lel columns brought Into piny against one
unionist leader after another ; ami crimi
nations about the 'purchase of the Ulster
votes answered by recriminations about
the government cordite contracts. " This
list , however , docs not cover by any
menus all the charges of a personal chai-
ncter put forward during the canvass.
Mr. Ik'ini , who was i tinning In ono of
the London divisions , was attacked by
hla opponents because his Insane brother
had In a fit of madness Idled their father.
Even In the politics of "our violent peo-
plo" n chnrgu of this sort for political pur-
poseo would , 1 think , be considered cruel.
13ut attacltn of this sort were not .confined
to the lesser candidates. It was freely
charged that Sir H. Naylor-Leyland had
changed from the conservative to the lib
cral side because the liberal government
had given him n baronetcy. As to the truth
of this charge I have no opinion to express.
I only know that Sir II. Naylor-Leyland was
recently made n baronet , and that this
pleasant accusation against him and the
liberal government was freely made.
PEERAGES AS DA1T.
Much more serious , however , was the
charge made against Lord Hosebery , which
played a largo part lii the campaign , that
he had made four pedrs , In consideration ot
the gift by these' gentlemen of 100,009 to
the campaign fund of the liberal party.
Lord Roscbery's secretary , In n letter to
the Times , said that two of these peerages
were given to gentlemen whoso merits no
ono could question , and who were also poor
men , and that the other two were given lu
pursuance of an arrangement made by Mr.
Gladstone will which' Lord Rosebery had
"
nothing to do. "Thqref wore persons who
found this answer unsatisfactory , and the
matter was much discussed both In the
press and on the stump. The charge was
not made merely , by ' . 'Irresponsible ' orators
and newspapers.Mr. . - said In
a speech at Illrmlngham , on August 3 , "How
can you grant sincerity to n man who In
one breatll dinouriccs/.tb.c-.JIouse of Lords
and seeks to abolish It , and In another gives
reason for the suspicion that ho has been sellIng -
Ing peerages to the highest bidder ? " I have
no knowledge whatever as to the foundation
.of this charge , but considered merely as a
campaign attack on the leader of one of the
two great parties , a man of the very highest
character , J think It will be admitted thai
even the violence of the American presi
dential election can hardly show anything
more serious.
As to the point of Illegal practices at reg
istration and elections , I found that they
were not unknown In England. In Durham ,
where the seat was won by ono vote , It ap
peared that the name of a man who was In
jail at the time had been voted upon , nnd II
was freely charged that the names of men
who were dead were used for the same
purpose. This election , I b IIeve , was to be.
contested. I &nw It stated In the Times that
n man was charged with personation nt
Dlrkenhcnd , and from a single Issue of the
same newspaper I take the following cases :
At Hartlepool , where the question of pre
senting a petition against the return of the
unionist candidate was considered , the alle
gations referred to the distribution of freu
drinks and other illegal practices.
In the Lltchfleld division of Staffordshire
It was decided to present n petition against
the return of Mr. Fulford , and counsel were
of the opinion that there was ample evidence
of corrupt and Illegal practices.
In the Falklrk Burghs a petition was de
cided upon against the return of Mr. John
Wilson , on the ground of alleged bribery
by the unionist agent.
At Wlgau , Henry Lttherland was sum
moned before the magistrate for bribing
voters.
MONEY IN ENGLISH POLITICS.
I como now to the question of the ex
penditure of money. This possesses a double
Interest , bccaueo It not only shows us the
English practice , but It also throws a great
deal of light on the charge so freely made
of late years In this country that protection
was not only bad economically , but that It
led to great corruption , owing to the lavish
expenditure In the campaigns of the pro
tected interests. The example of England
will enable us to sec not only the practice
there as to election expenses , but also what
the effect of a frco trade system Is In keepIng -
Ing down the amount of money expended
for campaign purposes.
The corrupt practices act In England
fixes the maximum amount which each can
didate can spend In each division of the
United Kingdom , The candidates are re
quired by law to make a return of all their
expenses , and these returns are published
ofllclally. In 1892 the afllclal returns show
that there were 070 scats nnd 1307 candi
dates. Fifty-six BeutB were uneontestcd , and
the expenses , therefor * ! , ! In those cases were
little or nothing. The official returns Include -
cludo all the seals , although , of course , it
the&e fifty-six gcalft wpro deducted It would
Increase the average. expenditure for the
others. The 1,307 candidates In 1802 spent
ffl58r.32 ( In rqiiij T , numbers , $1.792-
CCO ) , Including tuq. returning olllcorn'
charges , and .lltil.OSS , or $3,805.290 ,
exclusive of the .returning . officers' charges
that Is. for imrply'iiolltlcal purposes. Tlio
total number of votes polled was 4.G05.442
and the amount * i5f Jfyioney spent per vote
was i shlllliiL'H. 1 peiiny , or Just about $1
a head. The oflleiijl returns for 1S95 have
not yet been publlsttMl and I am obliged to
take my figures fo tbls last election from
a. careful article ) , { which appeared In the
Sunday Times , gtrJnc an estimate of the
1895 figures , andjuittlng the total expense
of Great Jlrltnln'Ti < /5lfl01000 , n trlllo moro
than WOH spent in 1S92. As election ex
penses have bccaJlecllnlng In England , It
Is probable that 1116 expenses of 1895 will bo
less rather than more , especially as there
wore moro uncontented scats In 1895 than In
1892. Hut for our purposes the ofllclal figures
of 1892 are gufllclcnt. assuming , OB wo may ,
that those of 1895 < lo not differ from them
materially. From them wo find that the
average expenditure of a candidate for a
county Beat was a trifle over 1.091 , and for
a borough seat 582 , and the cost per voter ,
as has been already utated , was 4 shillings ,
1 penny.
It must be remembered , however , that
these are only the olllclal returns of the
expenses allowed to each candidate by the
law. The central committees of the two
great parties and nther political commit
tees Interested In special objects of legis
lation , such as bimetallism or the liquor
traffic , upend a great deal of money for
political purposes , of which no return Is
made. I was told by good Judges , Includ
ing leaders of both the great parties , that
thu election expensed of one general elec
tion In England , exclusive of returning
offlccrs' charges uud of the expcnditurea
by organizations Interested In special sub
jects , would reach a least ft million pounds.
The central committees , whose funds are
very large , furnish , or course , a great deal
of the money to the candidates , which ap
pears In the official returns , but they also
necessarily spend n good deal ot money
which docs not appear In the returns ,
Nor dors the expenditure of money cease
here. I was told , for Instance ,
that In the Newmarket division ,
where two very rich men were running , a
Rrcat deal ot money was being spent on
Ijoth sides. I nskcd how this could bo done
under the corrupt practices act. nnd was In
formed that In this case one of the can
didates gave employment to all the unem
ployed In the division , thus encouraging
many voters In the support of correct po
litical principles nt'd ' at the eatne lime e-
llevlng the rate payers. This may be called
n special Instance , but It Indicates that eva
sion of the corrupt practices net Is at least
possible. One other fact which 1 derive
from ofllclal returns seems to be ot more
general application. For the week ending
July 16 the Increase of the revenue from
beer { there having been no change In the
law ) over the same week of the previous
year was 337,000 , Indicating an Increased
consumption of about 1,000.000 barrels. The
first pollings of the general election took
place on July 13 , nnd continued for about
three weeks. The liberals charged that
their opponents were giving free beer to the
voters , nnd this extraordinary rise In the
rcvcnuo Just nt election tlmo Rcms at least
to Indicate that the consumption of beer
Increases marvelously In England when voting
ing Is to be done.
INDICATES ENORMOUS COST.
There Is nothing certain In these facts
niul figures to Indicate that free trade has
n depressing or lowering effect on election
expenditures. Hut In making a compari
son with our own expenditures I will limit
mysulf to the totals of the official returns.
which nro very far from representing the
amount of money actually spent. Ac
cording to those returns an election In
England costs as nearly as possible ono
dollar for every voter. On that basla wo
wcro entitled , if we followed the English
example of moderation In election ex
penditures , to have spent In the last cam
paign $12.154,512. As a matter of fact
there has never been n campaign In
which the national committee of the two
great American parties have spent be
tween them $3,000,000. Allowing , however ,
? 3,000.000 to the two national com
mittees , nnd J2.000.000 more to cover all
that Is spent In addition outside the two
great committees , we have $5,000,000 for tlm
expenditures of an American presidential
election. This Is an excessive estimate , for
most of the money of the national commit
tee Is sent to the poorer states and con
gressional dlstrctg , In very few ot which ,
Indeed , candidates are to bo found who can
afford anything : iko the average cxpet.dlturc
or an English division. Taking , then , ? 5-
000,000 as the expenditure of the presiden
tial election , we find that It Is Just about
the amount actually spent at n general
election In England , and only halt what
wo should bo entitled to spend If we took
the scale of the English official returns per
vote as our standard of expenditures. When ,
In addition , It Is remembered that In this
country we have great distances to cover ,
which are unknown In England , and which
add enormously to the expense of .cam
paigning. It will be Keen that In the United
States , despite the corrupting Influences of
protected Industries , we do not spend half
the money which we should spend If we
lived up to the English standard.
