ConvictiOn is in Order.
Now that John Y. McKane, the
Gravesend boss, has been indicted
upon eleven counts—eight for felony
and three for misdemeanor—for cor-
rupt practices in connection with the
recent election, and on Saturday proven
to be a perjurer, everybody will look
hopefully forward to a conviction.
McKane is not alone in his bad emi-
nence. He may perhaps have carried
on his nefarious dealings more shame-
lessly and more openly than usual, but
there are many other political shysters
in New York, as well as elsewhere, that
are tarred with the same stick.
Such an issue of the impending trial
of McKane as would land him in the
penitentiary for a term of years would
have a most wholesome effect. Notice
would be served upon the scoundrels
who make a business of prostituting
the ballot-box and regard every elec-
tion assimply a matter of barter, that
the moral sentiment of the people has
been aroused, and that hereafter the
man who undertakes to do these things
does so at the risk of his individual
freedom. .
There is no case with which a jury
may be called upon to deal that in-
volves such important consequences as
one that concerns the purityof the
ballot and the inviolability of the
ballot box. On these two essentials
depends the safety of the republic.
They are the two pillars that uphold
the entire [structure of government by
the people. Justin proportion as they
are strengthened and made more se-
cure, that of which they are the foun-
dation W111 be made more safe. If
they are undermined or weakened in
any way, it becomes only a question of
time when the whole edifice will tumble
in ruins.
In the McKane trial the cause of
good government is involved. Convic-
tion will lift up and strengthen it; a
miscarriage of justice will bring it
into contempt and make bad and bold
men worse and bolder.

Future of Electricity.
The electricians those who have pro-
gressed so far in their studies as to have
attained to some degree of mastery of
the mysterious force, promise remark-
able achievements for the future—it
may be that some of them will go into
the record of 1894. These predictions,
together with others respecting advan-
ces to be made in other departments of
effort and knowledge, have been gath-
ered together from well known authori-
ties by McClure’s Magazine. The elec-
tric motor is, according to these pro-
phets, to displace the steam engine; life
is to be prolonged by the use of elec-
tricity as a therapuetic agent; men are
to be able to see through a wire the op-
tical images impressed on a transmitter
a thousand miles away; even the regis-
tering of unwritten, unspoken thought
by electricity is not deemed entirely be-
yond the range of scientific possibility
The electric age has just opened. The
telegraph, incandescent lights, the tele-
phone, the electric railway, are but the
products of the kindergarten stage of
the science. Then with electricity as a
great central industrial agency, social
changes are to be brought about. Sci-
ence will win from the earth an abun-
dance, the necessity for much labor,for
the hard, grinding toil that keeps men
near the condition of brutes will cease,
and an improvement in men’s moral
and intellectual state will follow.
Perhaps electricity will bring the
millenium, but even the most enthusi-
astic prophecies do not fix the date for
the beginning of that happy period in
1894. The working classes may, not,
however, take much stock in the prom-
ise of easier lives. It has been their
complaint that they have never had
their full share of the benefits of labor-.
saving machinery in a proportionate
reductiOn of hours of labor. To meet
this, hOWever, one writer on the mar-
vels of the future suggests that the tyr-
anny of corporationsand trusts is to be
broken by electricity. The independ—
ence of the workingman will be re-
stored, because he will be given the
forces needed for his work in his own
home. Great promises are made like-
wise of advances in the sciences of
psychology and chemistry, in religious
thought; in fact, in about everything
which concerns the welfare of man-
kind. According to these promises the
achievements of the nineteenth cen-
tury will serve as but a faint indication
of what the twentieth century will bring
forth.
All Of which makes us crave all the
more, a little improvement in general
business just now. Said young Corne-
lius Vanderbilt to his father the Com-
modore, on being refused $50 for which
he plead, and being told by-the hard
fisted father that he should leave him a
million in his will—“I’d rather have a
dollar now, (lac ,” retorted the young
hopeful.

COREY’S PLAN NOT IN FAVOR.
W'mliington Statesman llpclilcdly Opposed
to a P.0d uctimi of Their Salaries.
f’Ii‘Tsnuno, Feb. 5. — J. B. ( may a
wealthy coal operator of Pittsburg and a
political economist of some local dist-inc-
tion, recently wrote letters to President
Cleveland and members of both houses of
congress proposing as a remedy for the
existing depression of business a reduction
of the salaries of all government officials
from the chief executive down. He has
received many responses, but no one has
yet shown a willingness to go on record as
the sponsor of the peculiar kind of. eco-
nomic government advocated by Mr. Corey.
Among the notable men who have writ-
ten Mr. Corey are Senator Sherman, Cou-
gressman Reed of Maine, Springer of Illi—
nois, W'ilson of lVest Virginia, Johnson of
Ohio and Secretary of the Treasury Car-
lisle. Congressman Reed’s reply was char-
acteristic. He simply said:
Your communication to hand Jan. 10. It
seems to me rather cheeky to ask a man to re-
duce his own salary. Yours. etc. -
THOMAS B. Rani).
Senator Sherman raised the point of con-
stitutionality. He did not think the salary
of a. government official could be legally
reduced after the Official had taken his
office.
Mr. Springer coincided with Senator
Sherman as to the constitutionality of re-
ducing salaries after a term of office had
begun. _
Mr. VVilsou thought the remedy for the
hard times lay in the revision of the tarifl?
laws. He did not see that the proposition
would better the condition of affairs so
long as the McKinley bill remained on the
statutes. ‘
Secretary Carlisle did not touch on the
question at issue, but suggested the issue
of government bonds ' as the proper pre-
scription for the present national disease.
Congressman J ohnstou did not agree
with Mr. Corey’s doctrines. The tax theory
and a reduction of office holders—not 88.18:-
ries—WOuld solve the problem of national
economy, provided sweeping reductions
were made in the tariff.
Harrison Is For McKinley.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 5.~—A special to The
Plain Dealer from Columbus says: “The
secret of the visit to Columbus of John C.
Gowdy, chairman of the Indiana Repub-
lican state executive committee, is no lon-
gerasecret. The fact is that Chairman
Gowdy is an accredited messenger and
minister from ex-President Harrison and
that he carried with him assurances of
good will and substantial aid in the gov-
ernor’s coming fight for the presidential
nomination two veers hence. Harrison
does not want the nomination and would
not accept it, and so he has informed Gov-
ernor McKinley. Since his great bereave-
ment he has no ambition except to live a
’useful and dignified life, devoted to his
profession and his studies, and further-
more he believes that he could not survive
the worry and work of another campaign
' and term as president.”
Brewed Fate and Died.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5.—-A special to The Be-

her companions. She replied, ‘I have been
disappointed in love and don’t care if I do
burn up.’ Just then her clothing took fire,
and before the fiAmes could be extinguish-

A Row on Day Street Disoloses
That She and Booth Are
Again Together.
A Term in Jail Has No Effect on
The Pair.
Early last year George W. Booth and
Annie Mead were arrested by Consta-
ble Morehouse at a notorious resort
kept by the pair near Dorlon Point.
Booth was found guilty of adultery and
sentenced to three months in the coun-
ty jail at Bridgeport. On June 15 Annie
Mead was tried and found guilty of
fornication and sentenced to twenty-
five days in Jill] and to pay a fine of $7.
The pair after serving out their sen-
tence were lost sight of for a while
although they were occasionally seen
on the street.
This morning Annie Mead appeared
at the City Attorney’s office and made
complaint that Mrs. Henry Whitlock,
and her sister, Mrs. Julia Stackhouse
of New Canaan, had assaulted her on
Saturday and she wanted them arrest-
ed. The matter was placed in the
hands of Grand Juror Raymond for in-
vestigation.
An inquiry this morning revealed
that Booth and the Mead woman were
again together at the house, No. 20
Day street, owned by Washington
Young's. The upper part of the dwel-
ling is occupied by Henry Whitlock
and Wife. Mr. Whitlock this morning
stated to a GAZETTE representative that
Booth and Annie had been warned out
of the house. He also stated that Annie
on several occasions had thrown different
articles at the members of his family,
and often called them hard names;
that they had stood it as long as they
could and that on Saturday Mrs. Stack-
house and his wife had encountered
Annie Mead in the hall and after an
exchange of personalities Mrs. Stack-
house had grabbed Annie and threat?
ened t9 chastize her if she did not
cease her Objectionable conduct.
A further investigation of the doings
of Booth and Annie since their locating
on Day street disclosed the fact that
the neighbors had also made several
complaints of the goings on at their
house. »
It was also stated that Booth and th
Mead woman ran a similar place to that
kept by them near Dorlon Point when
arrested. Men and women of question-
able character are * said to resort there
and Often remain all night, and liquor
is reported to be sold without a license.
From all that could be gleaned the
resort kept by Booth andAnnie is one
that needs looking after by the authori-
ties, and the sooner the better for the
respectable residents of Day street.

Many a woman defers marriage be-
cause she feels that her duty lies at
home'in' the care of an aged father or
an invalid mother or helpless brothers

that all this tends to the establishment
of a vast spinsterhood, but let us whis-
per that after all when the right man
comes along, when real love creeps in-
to the heart and wily Cupid makes his
presence felt, then it matters not what
specious argument may have been ad-
vanced heretofore, engagement and
marriage appear to be the truest art
and the noblest duty, for after all We
are but women and are governed more
by the heart than by the brain, inde-
pendendent and self-reliant though we

guard forward of the wheel house a
hat was found. Howland’s life was
insured for $5,000 in the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York and
for an equal amount in the Travelers’
of Hartford. It is also stated that just
before his disappearance Howland took
out policies in other companies aggre-
gating 350,000. This money Mrs. How-
land is now trying to collect, and she
refuses to believe that her husband is
not dead.
There is ample evidence that How-
land was very much alive after the
arrival of the Pilgrim in New York.
His photograph has been identified by
a number of persons who saw him in
this city.

OPERA HOUSE.
7"“.
Do you know Ole Olson? THIS is a
question which has been asked over and
over again this week, and will be an-
swered to the satisfaction of everybody
at the Opera House to-morrow
night. Ole Olson is not a man, but a
play. Not a Swedish play, but a roar-
ing comedy, with a Swedish character
as the central figure. This is the first
play of its kind ever produced, and
really one of the genuine novelties of
the season. Americans find a fund of
humor in the Swedish character, and
the play is said to draw heavily on this
fund. “Ole Olson” is a comedy, pure
and simple in every sense of the word,
and is much different from. most so:
called comedies in that it has a well de-
fined plot that carries the story through
to a successful and reasonable ending.
Ole is represented to be a oung man
Just over from Sweden, who naturally
finds it very difficult to master the
idiom of the English language and who
gets into all sorts of ludicrous scrapes
by reason of his inability to catch on.
He, however, is not here very long, or,
as he himself puts it, just “wan yare,
femf mont and sax wake,” before he is
one of the boys in every sense of the
word. In every large city where “Ole
Olson” has been presented, it has met
with phenomenal success ; and the
novelty of the character has been one
of the hits of the season. The cast is
an unusually strong one, and includes
such artists as we look to see “Ole Ol-
son” play to the capacity of the theatre.
