Elder has had.more business in the senate during the past few days than he has in the house, and he has courted the attention of the senators with more persistence than any of the members of the regular railroad lobby. Cell ¥ aborers Want Thair Pay. Soveral of the men who have been em- ployed on the new cell house have been haunting the state house for the past few dnys. and clamoring for their pay. Superin- tendent Dan Hopkins has gone to Texas, on the latest La Porte excursion, and the men have been given to understand that there is 210 money with which to pay them. They should properly ve paid out of the #40,000 appropriation, but 1t seems that the @laims of supply men who furnished material at prices ranging from 400 to 500 per cent Yigher than others would have been glad to ve for the same material, and of the s who gobbled 800 of the appro- ation for & junket, have swallowed up the the men who performed the s pay are left out in the cold to pr money, and labor at whistle.

Vouchers on file in the office of the state auditor indicate that the committee will have enough there fo occupy their time for quite a while Although there are but 130 inmates of the Institution the vouchers for February show the purchase of over eight tons of soap dur. ing that mouth and within a period of three The committ stitution for the F weeks, It must pe understood that the pur- chase was not a year's supply, as the man agement is not allowed to purchase for more than a quarter at a tim and the supply bought in December Wi of sufici t size to insure the cleanliness of the inmates for soveral months, even if more of thisarticle was used than is thought necessary for institn- tions with double the number of inmates. 1t is stated that the management was “buy- wg at & bargain. but inasmuch as the vouchers call for the payment of 5 cents per pound the swatement only causes s general ing of thaukfulness toarise that the pur- 5 not made when a “bargain” was not obtainable. The finding of the penitentiary committee to the effect that the same plan was being pursued at the Beatrice institution as that followed in connection with the new cell house, 8o far as the expenditure of money for a new building without placing the supe iutendent under bonds was concerned, will also be given attention by this committee, and the *‘business methods” of the Board of TPublic Lands and Buildings will once more be turned up for public inspection.
