Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 4. 1898.
A Machine Infamy,
Exploiting the Schools, Prisons, Hospitals and
Charities, Etc., for Base Partisan Purposes—Full
Details as to the Methods of Achieving this Great
Outrage—Senator Penrose’s Attempt to Deceive
the State as to the School and Charity Appro-
priations Fully Refuted from the Records.
At the late Republican convention
that met in Harrisburg to express its
contempt for honesty and economy in
the state government the boss sent the
junior senator to represent him and
sing a siren song into the ears of the
people which, if it did not deceive them,
might still be used by the heelers for
such clamor as should confuse and
drown the cries of the reformers. Mr.
Penrose made a very valiant, but
manifestly very laborious effort to ful-
fill his task. He, of course, ignored the
detailed, specific and widely published
evidences of the Republican ma-
chine’s theft and waste of the public
moneys, because it is impossible for
him or anybody else to fairly meet and
successfully refute them. But Sweeping
them aside, as with a wave of the hand,
he undertook to account for the con-
stantly increasing cost of machine
rule by ascribing it to a greater liber-
ality to the schools, the hospitals and
elemosynary institutions of the state,
leaving it to be inferred that Mr.
Quay and the machine were being
criticized and abused, not for any real
wrongdoing, but for their enlarged
liberality in caring for the helpless
wards of the state.
Even if it were true that the differ-
ences in the gross annual outlay of the
state were accounted for solely by the
larger appropriations to the schools, the
hospitals, etc., these appropriations are
themselves made to dishonestly and
unlawfully contribute to the main-
tenance of the machine, whose astute
chief and ever watchful lieutenants
would consider themselves grossly
derelict in permitting such large sums
to pass through their hands without
gathering on it some profit on the way.
But the excess of the cost of main-
| taining the state government as be-
tween 1883 and 1897 was almost three
and three-quarter millions of dollars
greater, leaving wholly out of the con-
sideration the cost of the schools, the
penitentiaries, the insane and the
charities, as the following figures will
show:
Yayments 1897, less interest,

Payments 1883, less loans re-
deemed, interest, premiums

And this says nothing of the fact
that the state treasurer in making up
his estimates of expenses for the year
ending Nov. 30, 1898 (which reach a
total of $17,346,823, as against an an-
ticipated revenue of $11,561,000), in-
cludes, among others, the following
items:

The account, fully made up, there-
fore, stands about as follows:

1883, exclusive of charities,
schools, penitentiaries, in-
sane, interest, loans, etc..... $3,700,023
Moneys that were appropriated
to schools, charities, etc., and
should have been paid in 1897,
but remained unpaid at end
$5,340,253
Total trestettiatitttneniensnss.$9,040,316
This is a long, long way from veri-
fying Mr. Penrose’s contention that the
only reason why it costsmore to run the
state than it used to is that we now
give so much more to the cause of
education and in benificences to the
helpless and suffering. Going to the
official records for the facts com-
pletely upsets his slyly conceived dec-
larations and insinuations, as it will
be found to upset every plea made by
the machine apologists in explanation
and extenuation of its crimes.
And the appropriations for the
schools and the charities, the poor,
prisoners and the insane, are all and
in numerous ways made to do duty for
the machine. Of the $5,340,253 due
Nov. 30, 1897, on appropriations made
that year and before, and not paid at
that time, $3,439,998 was, as will be no-
ticed, owing to the schools and $120,000
to the charities (see treasurer's report,
page 14,) at the same time that a bal-
ance of $5,136,700 was in the treasury.
Here is confession over the official sig-
nature of a leading beneficiary of the
machine that moneys are wrongfully
withheld, and no sane man for a mo-
ment dcubts that the purpose of the
withholding is to accommodate the
favorite banks and insure the ma-
chine liberal contributions for its cam-
paign funds. There are comparatively
few other moneys that could be with-
held in the same way, so that, were
it not for the large appropriations to
the schools and the charities the banks
would have to surrender :heir deposits
and the machine go to some other
source for means to deceive and cor-
rupt the voters.
Then the myraid of officials that ad-
minister the affairs of the institutions
under consideration are practically all
expected to shout the praises. of the
machine about election time and do
what they can to confound its enemies.
At the beginning of each legislative
session the governor has 700 or 800 ap-
pointments of various kinds to sub-
mit to the senate for confirmation. A
large proportion or these are connectea
with the educational, charitable, penal
and reformatory institutions of the
state. All of them must sooner or later
pony up in some way to the machine,
either by money contribution, lip ser-
vice or repressing what they know
and feel and would like to tell. Refusal
to do this in any direction is regarded
as threatening the appropriations for
that direction next due. For many of
these places, even where neither sal-
ary or perquisites attach, there is al-
ways warm competition, and in such
cases the machine steps in and, regard-
less of the local situation or the
equities, determines the contest in fa-
vor of those who are likelv to prove
most subservient to its behests.
There are 117 homes, hospitals, asy-
lums, aid societies, missions, etc., or-
ganized and controlled by the state,
or managed by private corporations
and receiving state aid, to which ap-
propriations were made by the last
legislature. These are exclusive of the
deaf and dumb and blind schools, the
institutions for the training of feeble
minded, etc. In many localities these
institutions are looked upon as of such
importance that the men chosen to rep-
resent such localities are expected to
make sure of the appropriations for
them at whatever sacrifice. Urged by
their two or three thousand officers,
managers, directors and employes and
depending upon the machine as the
sole arbiter in the appropriation com-
mittees, these poor legislators are often
fcrced to choose between voting con-
scientiously and losing the appropria-
tions or voting with the machine and
getting them. Thus even the chari-
ties of the state, the sick and the crip-
pled are made, unconsciously, to con-
tribute to the maintenance of a ras-
cally gang at the head of the state's
affairs and their conscienceless robbery
of the taxpayers.
Mr. Wanamaker said in his speech at
Phoenixville, May 27: “Politics con-
trols the appointment of trustees of
state institutions; politics controls the
management of state institutions. The
needs of ‘overcrowded asylums and un-
healthy hospitals count as naught
against the request of the man with the
political pull and who can deliver state
delegates.” And he might have added
that the controllers and ~flicers of the
institutions not under control of the
state, but receiving state aid, for the
most part are but in a degress less the
servitors of the machine.
The appropriations are notoriously
inadequate: for the support of the state
institutions, notably the insane asy-
lums. The payments for the insane
were $738,390 in 1896 and $587,544 in 1897.
The appropriations were $920,320 for 1897
and $717,700 for 1898, but of the former
$201.000 was for a deficiency in the ap-
pbropriations for 1895, and $83,950 in 1897,
and a like amount in 1898 was for an
extension of the reservoir and new
buildings for the Harrisburg institu-
tion. The committee on lunacy of the
board of public charities has been for
several years insisting that a new
asylum for the indigent insane be
built for management under homeo-
pathic auspices, that a hospital speci-
ally devoted to the treatment of
epilepsy be erected and that the chron-
ics “who do not require active medi-
cal treatment, nursing and special
care” should be taken from the hos-
pitals and put in an asylum by them-
selves. They further recommend that
legislation be enacted to induce and
encourage counties, municipalities, etc.,
to build institutions for the care of
their own insane by the offer of a
fixed sum, say $1 per week, paid out
of the state treasury, for each patient
supported therein. Wisconsin has
pursued this plan with highly satis-
factory results for 16 vears, the per
capita cost per patient being $1.75 per
week, or less than it costs in Penn-
sylvania. Notwithsatnding the fact
that all the insane hospitals are seri-
ously and even dangerously overcrowd-
ed, hundreds of beds having to be made
up at nights in the corridors and taken
down in the morning, the legislature
has persistently ignored all these rec-
ommendations, excepting when in 1895
they passed an act looking to county
care for patients, which was so loaded
down with provisos and impossible re-
quirements as to be wholly inoperative.
It was owing to the extravagant ap-
propriations for party and factional
purposes that, as Mr. Wanamaker said
in his Phoenixville speech: “At the last
session of the legislature the appro-
priations committee was obliged to re-
fuse actual maintenance for many of
the most deserving hospitals of the
state. Yet this same committee, under
orders, passed for Senator Coyle, of
Schuylkill, a Quay lieutenant, an ap-
propriation of $10,000 for the main-
tenance of the American Hospital as-
sociation, of Mahanoy township, which
was an imaginary institution of Sena-
tor Coyle’s, without capital, without a
building, or without even a site upon
which to build one. This fraud, was
fortunately discovered by Governor
Hastings, who vetoed the nefarious
scheme.”
And yet as showing how even the
state board of charities itself is com-
pelled to pose as apologists for the
machine, the secretary cf the board
said in his report Jan. 1, 1897 (see report,
page 8): ‘At the session of the legis-
lature of 1895 we earnestly urged that
provision be made for both the insane
and criminal classes. Bills for these
burposes were presented to the legis-
lature, but unfortunately, owing to the
financial depression of the treasury,
failed to become. laws.” And vet it
is notorious that in multiplying useless
offices and expenses the legislature of
1895 outdid all its predecessors and
was not a whit less culpable than that
of 1897.
Following up this subject Mr. Wan-
amaker says (again the Phoenixville
speech is quoted from):
“I am informed by an ex-member of
the appropriations committee that du-
ring a recent session of the legislature
the appropriations committee, after
months of work and the unmerciful
slashing of meritorious bills, had suc-
ceeded in making the total amount of
appropriations fall within the estimated
revenues. Upon the last night that
bills could be reported from the com-
mittee and be passed before adjourn-
ment orders came from Senator Quay
that more than $500,000 of bills for pow
erful and rich institutions must be
passed. These bills had all been con-
sidered by the committee on their mer-
its and negatived. Upon orders from
the ‘old man’ they were reconsidered
and reported favorably within an hour.
A prominent Philadelphia business man
dared not contribute to the Business
| Men’s T.eague. because he was a di-
.addition to the steals in the way of
rector in- the FPhiladelpnia Museum,
and he was notified that he must not
oppose Quay or his institution would
lose an appropriation that upon its
merits alone it is entitled to receive.”
It is not generally understood, but |
shouid be, that the state does not sup- |
port the penitentiaries and reformato- |
ries. The state provides the buildings |
and pays the salaries, but the counties |
pay for maintenance. Of the state ap-
propriations to the penitentiaries for |
1896, $50,000 of the $52,000 went for sala-
ries in the Eastern and $60,000 of the
$65,000 in the Western. These well paid
officials are, of course, another contin-
gent of the machine's active election-
eering forces.
More than half of the cost of main-
taining the indigent insane patient is
paid by the counties, and from a third
te a half of the total income of the in-
sane hospitals from all sources goes
for salaries. Here, again, the machine
finds profit and support. In the fur-
nishing of supplies it is the same thing,
and it is notorious that the cost of feed-
ing the patients is much in excess of
what it should and would be under
honest management. In his Philadel-
phia speech, June 27, Dr. Swallow
said: “Though the average charity in-
mate of our asylums gets service,
clothing and focd that costs less than,
50 cents a day, the expense to the state
is greater than though they were board-
ed at a first-class hotel.” This, like
nearly all of the reverend doctor's alle-
gations, is a haphazard statement,
demonstrating the impractical charac-
ter of the man and the unwisdom of
depending upon his “statistics,” and
yet it is approximately true.
The weekly per capita cost for main-
tenance of patients in the five state
hospitals for insane for 1896 is set down
in the official report of the committee
on lunacy of the board of charities (see
report 1896, page 24) as follows:
Harrisburg ............ $3.75
Danville .. ....0,. io 3.60
Norristown LLL... On 3.15 3-5
Morven ...,, ....0 a0 3.61
DiIxmoent Loh. ln 3.89
Aversge ..... 0. on $3.60 3-5
It has already been stated that the
cost of the insane to the state of Wis-
consin, where they are cared for in the
counties, etc., is $1.75, and “the quality
of care is excellent,” says our board of
public charities, and the board further
says (See report 1858, bage 5): In
Pennsylvania there now is some excel-
lent county and municipal care of the
insane, at far less per capita cost than
that charged in the state hospitals.’
A board of charities, whose officials
would give less of their time to moving
about the state doing the work of the
machine and the party which it con-
Pols, would see to it that naked main-
tenance of at least as good a quality
as is now furnished, was provided
wherever money is specifically appro-
priated by the state for maintenance,
at considerably less cost.
The educational, penal, correctional
and charitable institutions of the state,
whether supported in whole or only in
part by the state, are, as will fully ap-
pear from the foregoing revelations, vir-
tually all industriously exploited for the
support of the Republican machine. Ev-
ery dollar of money voted to them in
one way or another, directly or indirect-
ly, pays tribute to it. A great liber-
ality is indecently and defiantly util-
ized to assist the basest of political as-
pirations. The mere money outgo is
not nearly fo large as Senator Pen-
rose tried to make the people believe,
and is far from covering the difference
between the cost of honest government
and the cost of Republican machine
government, but it is a great sum
nevertheless, fully sufficient to inspire
successful revolution against the ma-
chine and the men who are responsible
for its cruel and wicked maladminis-
tration.
Department Expenses.
How they Have Swelled in Fifteen Years and Since
the Democrats Were Last at Least in Partial Con-
‘ trol—A Steady and Constant Increase in Every
Item—Extravagance and Spoliation at Republican
Machine Dictation, as Gathered from the Official
Records.
The enormous increase in the cost of
running the executive departments of
the state government has been the sub-
ject of much comment in the news-
papers and otherwise. The extent of
the increase is mit yet, however, un-
derstood. .It is not generally com-
prehended how unceasing has been the
upward trend of the figures. It is
not realized that each legislature under
the sway of Republican Bosses has
not only ‘seen’ its predecessor, to use
the language of the card playing fra-
ternity, but managed to “go” consider-
ably “better.” The protests of the
people and such of the newspapers as
were not under the control of the ma-
chine have gone unheeded. Governor
Pattison’s vetoes in 1891-93 fell in for
no greater consideration. And even
the warnings of Governor Hastings,
their own man, that the time had come
to go slow, were ignored. The appe-
tite of the cormorants grew with what
it fed upon like all other appetites, and
may be regarded today as in a state
of utter unappeasability.
All this, be it borne in mind, is in
legislative junkets, contested election
charges, fraudulent investigations, etc.
What is here considered fell in for no
executive vetoes or injunctions either
in 1895 or in 1897, during which years,
as will further appear, the greatest
enormities were perpetrated.
As probably presenting the case most
comprehensively and so as to enable
the seeker after the facts to gather
them in at a glance, so to speak, the
following table is presented. The fig-
ures in the first column, headed 1883,
represent the outlay for the first year
of Governor Pattison’s administration,
when there was a Democratic house
and a strong reform element in the
senate to help keep the looters in check,
Those in the other column, headed
1889, 1893 and 1897, respectively, repre-
sent the aporopriations for the last
year, that is the last legislative year
of the Beaver, Pattison (second) and
Hastings administrations. The figures
are taken from the appropriation bills,
as finally passed and signed, are ex-
clusive of the vetoes and are in each
case for two years:
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

AUDITOR GENERAL'S DEPART-
MENT.
840 can SER.A00. + $69.800. $94,200,
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
The foregoing may without scruple
be accepted as reliable, having, as
stated, been taken direct from the sev-
eral appropriation acts as they ap-
pear in the officially published laws of
the state. A few explanations will not,
however, be out of place. For instance,
in the cost of the ‘“‘governor’s office” is
included only the actual office cost, and
not that of the expensive gubernatorial
mansion, or anything connected with
it. The ‘attorney general’s depart-
ment” does not cover the large sums
he receives as fees. ‘Superintendent of
public instruction’ means the expense
for salaries, etc., of his office, and does
not cover any of the cost of the schools.
The same thing is true of ‘“superintend-
ent of soldiers’ orphan schools.” ‘“State
library” is independent of the appro-
priations for books and the ‘‘public
printer” of those for printing. ‘Public
buildings and grounds’ excepts the ex-
tra expense (1897) put upon the state
by the capital fire and the occupancy
hy the legislature of Grace Church. The
agricultural department was not or-
ganized until 1895, but, in order to be
wholly fair, we have, for the preceding
years given the appropriations to the
board of agriculture, which item is for
1897 included in the costs of the depart-
ment. No appropriation was made for
the fish commissioner in 1897. A larg
one was in prospect, but the people ap-
peared to be somewhat aroused as t
what was going on, the legislators were
made in some degree afraid and the
scheme was abandoned. With these
explanations in mind the figures here-

“In the charge up san Juan Hill I
was wounded in the arm by a Spanish
bullet. Owing to the crowded condi-
tion of the hospital at Sibboney I did
not receive the necessary treatment
until we embarked for America. At
Ft. McPherson, Ga., when the physi-
cian removed the pieces of brass shell
he said if it was not for my good rich
blood and robust health, blood poisun-
ing would have taken place. 1 said I
owed it all to Hood's Sarsaparilla
which I had taken to keep my blood
pure. Others who had taken Hood's
Sarsaparilla seemed proof against heat
and fatigue A special danger at this
time is the well known fact that re-
turning soldiers are bringing home
the germs of malaria, fevers, ete., and
these may prove contagious in their
families and neighborhoods. Hood's
Sarsaparilla is the best defense against
this danger. r.very returned soldier
and every triend and relative of xold-
iers should take
