The~Statc Treasury Graft.
(Philadelphia Press—Rep.)
The whole system on which the state
treasury is conducted is utterly perni
dous and dangerous. It treats the state
money as pimply a medium for the per
sonal jobs and the political schemes of
the state ring.
Under this system the public funds
are deposited where the masters of the
ring dictate. The controlling considera
tion is that the people's money is to be
made tributary to the speculative enter
prises of the ruling politicians and to
the political requirements of the ma
chine. It has repeatedly happened that
the payment of school moneys has been
delayed because the funds were absorb
ed in these jobs.
This facility of misuse breeds the most
reckless chances. The nominal custo
dian of the funds is compelled to obey
the behests of the masters who Jake the
largest risks. He walks on a volcano.
The nervous strain is fearful. The per
ilous pathway is strewn with suicides,
and sevefaT of the officers have been
fugitives.
Every one conversant with the his
tory of the state recalls the tragic epi
sode when a large amount was taken
directly from the treasury, ventured on
a speculative cast and lost. That trans
action cost one life, and another of more
distinction hung on a thread until
friendß came forward fcnd made good
the loss. If the annals of the treasury
conld be fully written they would em
brace many similar chapters.
The fact that the state may not have
loot does not affect the danger. The
risk is always there. But even if the
state is fully protected by surety bonds
of individuals suffer. The
bank whioh has been robbed, as the En
terprise at Allegheny" was, goes down,
and while the state may be secured the
Individual depositors sustain the loss.
The system is fraught with every eviL
It fs vicious, corrupting and utterly de
basing. It carriee into the state the
game rale of graft which has been so
deadly in this <city.
▲ robber who walks into a bank, puts
/ a pistol to the cashier's head and helps
himself to the money is a criminal.
When canght the robber usually does a
long term in prison. The public
breathes a sigh of satisfaction that one
more vicious character is safely behind
iron bars.
When powerful political grafters en
ter a bank and give the cashier $500,000
belonging to the state they are regarded
possibly as a benefactor of the institu
tion. Later, when these same individ
uals put thumbscrews on the cashier
and force him to loan them all the $500,-
000 on virtually worthless "paper," how
shall their action be designated? What
shall be their punishment?
A dead cashier and a looted bank!
This is an impressive tableau. There
may be something heroic in the bold
highwayman who takes his own life in
- his hand for the lust of money, but how
desperate and cowardly is the sneaking
action of the political thumbscrew
marauders! Is it possible for the people
of this mighty commonwealth to tolerate
any longer such a systemi as this?
PO-LITICAIJ.
Homer L. Castle, a little Pittsbarg
attorney, who is at psesent the candi
date of the Prohibition party for Super
ior Jadge, addressed a large audience
in the Court room. Monday night, and
made an interesting and forcible speech..
He thinks that this Mississippi Val
ley of oars is the last and final battle
ground between the foroes of good and
•Til— presumably temperance or' prohi
bition and the liquor interests. The
greater part of his speech, however,
was devoted to the exposure and de
nunciation of the gang who have been
managing the Republican party, con
trolling..the legislature of the state, and
manipulating the Surplus and Sinking
i,. Funds. Hia description of Clark's sui
. eida*~tbe shot heard all over the state
was pathetic; and as for the conditions
that led up this tragedy Ih'ey have been
known'to and deplored by many Repub
f "Itcsns for years.

IT has been suggested, AND pot with
out good reason, that the next Legisla
ture shall establish a cemetery on the
Capitol grounds at Harrisburgr ftir the
graves of bank- cashiers and State
Treasurers who have or may come to
■Otimely ends from handling the State's
HHklDf Fond. -1-
The "Enterprise** Failure,
Though the "Enterprise National
Bank" of lower Allegheny was a small
affair compared with some of our But
ler banks, it suddenly became of state
importance, last week, by reason of the
suicide of its Cashier,T. Lee Clark, at his
home in Bellevne, and the closing of
the bank by the National Bank Exam
iner.
The import to the state consists in a
million dollars of the state's money on
deposit there and its probable loss. The
politicians of this part of the state, who
stand in with the Philadelphia crowd or
gang, secured the money for the bank
and then borrowed about half of it on
paper that is now said to be worthless.
The Cashier, who seems to have run
the bank without the aid of the Presi
dent and Board of Directors, probably
made other foolish loans, the bank be
came embarrassed; its condition was re
ported to Washington; the cashier wor
ried all night over its affairs and put a
pistol to his head next morning, and
the Examiner closed the doors, and
went to work on the books.
The notes of W. H. (or Bull) An
drews, prominent in state politics for
many a year, are said to ag
gregate |400,000; and the names of Boies
Penrose, Frank Torrance and Walter
Lyon are mentioned in the reports,
The case is similar to that of the Peo
ple's Bank of Philadelphia, some frears
ago, and which caused Cashier Hopkins
to take his life, and it is but another
chapter of the story of misery and des
pair cansed by the control of a large
state surplus—said to amount to nine
millions in all —by the lot of scheming
and unprincipled speculators who have
so long controlled the state. The sur
plus, itself, has no good reason for its
existence. It should have been appro
priated long ago, and if necessary, some
of the sources of the state's revenue lop
ped off, and yet even last winter Gov.
Pennypacker pared down all the appro
priations, that it might continue to ex
ist.
This affair will have an influence on
the coming election, as Mr. Plnmmer
was forced npon the party as its candi
date for State Treasurer by the same
gang who have been manipulating this
surplus fund for years.
Of the fonr millions of the state
"Sinking Fund" $398,000 was deposited
in the Enterprise, which was the
est sum beld by any one bank. The
next largest is $250,000 in the North
American SaVings Co. of Pittsburg,
$235,000 in the Pittsburg Trust Co.,
$215,000 in the Cosmopolitan of Pitts
burg and on down in smaller sums
throughout the state, the Farmers Na
tional of Butler having $5,000. There
are reports ef favoritism on the part of
Examiner Cunningham, also of the
notes of some of the politicians being
stolen from the bank's papers
It is reported that notes aggre
gating $600,000 are missing from the
bank's papers. Besides the $898,000 of
the sinking fund, $632,000 of the states
general fund was deposited in this one
little bank.
State Treasurer Mathues has given
out a statement as to the amount of
public money deposited in the Enter
prise National Bank, and also showing
where the State's sinking fund is de
posited. The fund amounts to $4,192,-
028.32, while there is about $9,000,000.00
in the general fnnd. Of the total
amount of State funds more than one.
thirteenth, or $1,030,000, was on deposit
in the Enterprise National bank at the
time its doors were cloeed.
The Directors of the wrecked bank do
not seem to trust Cunningham, and are
making an effort to have their own ac
countants go over the books and papers,
with a view to entering criminal prose
cutions against the guilty persons, and
the (J. S. Attorney General has instruct
ed the U. S. District Attorney at Pitts
burg to watch the development of af
fairs. ~i
The President's Southern Tour,
The remarkable demonstrations of
popularity accorded President Roosevelt
last week, at Richmond, Raleigh, At
lanta. Jacksonville and St. Augustine;
coupled with the Common sense, patriot
ism and'geriertil information displayed
in his ndmerdus Speeches have attract
ed the attention of the whole nation.
At Raleigh, N. C. his audience at the
Fair Grounds was estimated at 60,000,
at Atlanta* Ga. 100,000 and at Jackson
ville the whole population took part in
the parade.
On Monday he went to Mobile, on
Tuesday to Birmingham, Ala., stopping
for a time at Booker Washington's
Academy at Tuskegee—his speeches
everywhere displaying the some common
sense. He is preaching a new and
better standard of citizenship to the
Southerners—all of them.
Yesterday he was art Memphis.
TH$ storm that raged over lakes
Michigan, Hnron and Erie last Friday
and Saturday wrecked a dozen vessels,
and caused the deaths of two or three
times that many men. Most of the ves
sels were driven upon the chores, but
one schooner foundered, and went down
with her crew of eight men.
THE steamer Siberia, carrying Miss
Roosevelt and party, ran from Yoko
hama to San Francisco in eleven days.
RUSSIA'S ~troubles never end. She
now has a railroad strike on hands, and
a meat famine in St Petersburg and
Moscow. ■ •
T4*e Capture of Cunlifl'e.
£. G. Cunliffe, the Adams Express Co.
thief, turned opt to be an ordinary,
every-day„ common fool.,
He yielded to temptation on Monday
evening, the 9th, stole $101,000; went to
the railroad station and went to New
,York and from there to Bridgeport,
Conn-,,where he had worked and was
known.
At Bridgeport he registered at a hotel
under an assumed name and had a gay
time until Thursday afternoon last,
when he was arrested as he was leaving
his hotel.
He took the money with him to
Bridgeport, burned up about SII,OOO of
it, which was in new Pittsburg bills,
and expressed about SBO,OOO of it in the
valise to his brother-in-law in a neigh
boring town, where it was found and
recovered.
On the morning of the day he stole
the hundred thousand, four times that
amount passed through his hands, and
he says he yielded to a sudden tempta
tion that evening, and was sorry a few
minutes after that he did it. On Friday
about SIO,OOO more of the stolen money,
concealed in some soiled shirts, was re
covered, and Cunliffe was brought to
Pittsburg that evening, and put in jail.
The incident will probably result in
the express companies taking greater
care in the handling of large amounts,
and also in keeping a better record of
the packages that pass through their
hands, for they would not have found
the ,SWO.OOO bad not Cunliffe himself
told what he did with it. He handed
the valise to an express company driver
on the street, and it was sent to the ad
dress marked upon It, and no record
' made of it: and his brother-in-law re
ceived it and not knowing its contents
threw it into the closet where it was
ionnd.
As for Cunliffe, he has ruined his own 1
life and disgraced his family for one
drunken spree.
