Is hereby appropriated to pay the ordinary and coQlincerl -xpnse of the I. N. G. and Naval Militia of Illinois. Krom Session Law cf the Last Gereral Assembly. Illinois Republicans who feci that their State administration should be Indorsed this year ought not object to a plain state-jn-ntf the manner in which the taxpayers money has been expended by the "clear., honest, economical and businesslike admin istration of Governor Richard Yales" I than confine rnjself to a fe simpie facts and che the Governor and his apologists the opportunity they will improve no doubt to explain u. the peopie. The books of the btate departments and the penal and charitable Institutions In Il linois are balanced on the thirtieth day of citry June, for the reason thai the uuex perKied appropriations on that day lapse in to the treasury, and accounts for the new year are opened Once In awhile this pro vision la cbansed by the bill making he appropriation. The IaM. Legislature appropriated for the year. 1901. the magnificent sum of J3B,C0 lor the annual tour of ouij of tne National Guard. It is true about fci.0.0 of this sum. It is claimed, was expended for armory rents. When the books In the Adjutant Generals' olRcc were balanced the other day it was dls-overel that all of the C03 Ot) had b-en expended, and there were un paid bills to ti.e amount of nearly S100.WO due various persons on account of the en campment last jear. The Adjutant Gen eral's oftiee acknowledges a deficit of oer J50.0CO. and it is certain the estimate U In exc"s of that sum. Itevponallilllty Fall on Governor. Thi money was paid out, or the bills were contracted, directly under the super vision of Governor Richard Yates, who muii. undfr the statute, approve all bills before th- State Auditor will draw a war rant on Hie State Treasury. Governor "Yates cannot sh.ft the responsibility. He must stand In his own shoes and assume IL ThM enormous sum over J2S.00O. taking the figures of the Adjutant General's ci lice was scattered with prodigal hand during an encamrment that extended over about two months. When the bills are all In It will doubtless be found that the total will reach at least CW.W. This is J150, ( a month, or iS.OTO a day. What rat-hole, what cavern in the sea, was filled w.th this vast sum? There w-as one regiment in camp each week, and- In cluding rank and file, noncommissioned, eomt.-ffsloncd ofilcers, field and staff, the average number each week during the en campment could not have exceeded 1,0X1 men. Imagination wholly falls to account for an "economical." or "honest" or "business like" expenditure of a day each for a Total of l.vv men. The entire guard couM hate been lodged and boarded at the bet hotels In St. Louis or Chicago for less than thatoflgure. The best hotels in Sptlngfleld cater to their custom for half that pric per diem. It Is not necessary to lntlst on this point. Even- citizen of the State knows it is true, will the Governor render an account of his stewardship of the pro digious militia fund? It is in order for him to show that it was honestly and economi cally expended. Did Soldier Get Their Shore? Did the soldiers get it did they get even their share of the $300,000? They probably got all the law allowed them, and the ex act figure for the entire National Guard is SZf,Ui.i2. There still remains about $24j. o0 expended during the two monihs, for the Governor to account for. He will shojv that $22,CX) was spent for transportation an average cf nearly $2 a man, wnlch is a frightful extravagance, considering the ac commodations furnished the rank and file. There still remains $223,000. The item of groceries, usually so Im portant In feeding a body of men. amounts only to 8.3; butterine, JL07S; meat and lard, $3,S5. Under the grocery head was Included bread. Here we have about $17. 009, and there irtill remains over $200,000 for the Governor to account for. It was the people's money, wrung" from them by the taxgatherer. What has Gov ernor Yates to say in defense of his militia department? Adjutant General James B. Smith, it is paid, expects to save $25,000 or $30,000 this year by consolidating tie regiments into brigades, and having one brigade meet near Chicago, saving transportation. The negro regiment will not be permitted to go into a. camp of Instruction at alL They are expected to swallow their chagrin. They y111 vote the ticket, anyhow. The white boys are the ones that require some pam pering and coddling by the Governor. They ore a pretty Independent set of fellows. Taten Ilendannrters Here Expensive, General Smith's estimate of saving this year is rry high. If he Is not extremely cautious he will show that the headquar ters of Governor Yates cost the taxpayers of the State at least $100,000 during the two months' encampment In 190L The ap pointment of General Smith, by the way, Ik one of the few really good ones the Governor has made. I am not attempting to fix any part of the blame upon the late Major General Iteece. He was a soldier and certainly countenanced no extravagance that was not ordered or requested by his superior, the Governor Indeed. I know of one instance where he entered a vigorous protest to livery bills being contracted by one of the Governor's secretaries and charged to the National Guard. J. L. PICKERING.

WABASH TO ENTER NATIONAL CAPITAL Fuller Syndicate Is Negotiating for Purchase of the Baltimore and Southern. ABSORBED BY THE SOUTHERN. Morgan's Big System Announces Changes Railway Progress in the South General Strike News Appointments. REPUBLIC SPECIAL Baltimore. ML, July L Ofilclals of the Western Maryland Railroad and the Fuller Gould syndicate to-day laughed nt reports from New York that Baltimore- would rot be made an Eastern terminus of the Gould Wabash system. The fact that ths syndicate may secure the Drum Point road, a partly finished line, ninety miles long, to deep tidewater. In Calvert County, started the story that, alter raying iltXto.WO for the Western Maryland road and its tidewater privileges, Baltimore was to be cut out. Edward Lauterbacb of New Tork is one of the two owners of the Drum Point, or Baltimore and Southern Railroad. Frank Beldler of Baltimore, the other owner, has admitted that negotiation? with the Fuller syndicate are on. Fifty-eight miles of tbt road are graded The company owns fifty acres of land on a frcnt. where the water is ninety feet deep. The capitalization is H.GOJ.CmX The road can be comp.eted for SSOo.Otf). and offers great facilities for roft coal shipments. It can be. positively st.ited. nowever, inai tne uouia system elevators and other terminals will be at Baltimore. The franchises of the Baltimore ttnd Southern would be of great value to the Goulds for their contemplated extension to Washington. Congress has passed a bill authorizing the Columbia ana Southern to construct to Washington. This Is the Gould scheme. To come to Baltimore by the Western Maryland, and then go all the way tound to Drum Point wou.d be too great at Increase of haul, except, perhaps, for through shipments of soft coal. The Goulds will use the Baltimore and South ern's privileges fcr an extension of their system to the national capital. Plans fcr the .terminals at Baltimore nre nearly Cn- ished.
