ANOTHER I.ADICAL FRAUD.

1t has been whispered about for several
DAYS that another immense Radical swim
die has been discovered in Pennsylvania.
A very large amount ": paid by the
General Government TO the agents of the
State of Pennsylvania for expenditures
of the State duiDg The war, in assisting
the Government fot carrying on
the war. SPECIAL kilograms from
Washington, one of which we fed in
the Louisville Ledger, show that there
has been developed q piece of financial
corruption in Pennsylvania which prom
ises 10 seriously cInbsrrass the Republican
party at me approaching election IL that
State. Several parties belonging TO the
Attorney Generals Department there have
been in Washington for the last day or
two for the purpose Of procuring infor-
nation to prosecute one Evans for al.
legged dsfalcations, which amount 10
about $500, 600, this sum being misappro.
priated by Evans from certain MONIES
paid him by the Treasury Department in
liquidation of the Pennsylvania war
claims.
1t is charged that portions of this
money have been spent TO further the
political interests of Governor Geary, who
gave Evans his present position, sDd that
some of the leading Republican newspa-
pers, including Forney's Press, have
shared in this plumber to q large extent.
Tie Radicals in Washington and in
Pennsylvania are exceedingly alarmed at
the impression the Developments Of the
mammoth fraud are working, and they
will use every effort in their power 10
hush this case up, but inasmuch as Gealy
has q great many enemies in his own
party, and is not in particular favor with
the administration, it is not thought thai
these efforts will succeed.

THE MINERAL HOME.

Radical rogueIy and rascality is being
richly developed in every State of the
Union where that party has had sway.
They seem to have an especial affection
for building railroads, in the sir, and
gobbling State bonds, wherever they
were 10 be found, whether on earth, in
air or water. Tennessee suffered to the
tune of millions. We learn that from
the 2O.h of April, 1869, to the l9.h of
July, 1871, the reconstructed Legislature
of Arkansas issued State aid railroad
bonds 10 the aggregate amount of 3d.
500, 900, and up to this date that sum
has not built one mile Of road. The
grants in $50 amounted to $400, 900; in
1870 10 50, 800, 600, and this year 10
1850. 900 SO far. For two years aud
over the merry game of receiving the
State Enforcement with one hand ard
discountiug it eff with the other has been
going or, and this is about the sum and
substance OF the railway work done.
Bhis Radical Legislation, financeering
and building railroads can only be beaten
by that beauty of Tennessee Radlcalism:
The Mineral Home Railroad of East
Tennessee, which begun nowhere and
ended in the complete swindle of the
State. If our information be correct, not
a spsdeful of dirt has ever been thrown,
and the one hundred thousand dollars in
State bonds issued TO it have gone
f'Where the woodbine twineth."

CHE NEW ORLEANS OUrRaGF

Some of the special friends of Gen.
Grant are attempting to relieve him from
the responsibility of using United States
soldiers at the late Radical Convention
in New Orleans, by quo ling telegram
from his MarshaI Packard, that:
'sThe alleged statement that the PreSi-
dent had given me directions TO use the
courtroom and troops, lie not true. "
But on the contrary we have the ex-
plicit statement of Gen. Heron, another
Republican, that:
On the evening of the 9Th inst Marshal
Packard stated to Gen. Campbell. Judge
Dibble, and MIR. Fish of the IPe7o't6 Lic01,
Ibat he had the highest authority IN the
land for using the Custmohousa and
troops, and has since stated tha- Gen.
Grant authorized it.
But if il be true that Gen. Grant did
rot give directions, does be not approve
inc use that was made of the 'roops and
The G4tlin gupsl If he does lot why are
his brother-in law Casey and Packard
permitted to remain il office? 1t is graft
fving to learn that so great an outrage is
receiving large portion of public atten-
teution and denunciation. A Washing
ton telegram informs US that it is prob
able that public opinion, both in Wash
ino,on and in the country at large, will
forca Grant to order an investigation OF
The proceedings at the late Louisiana Con-
veution. So far as United States officials
ave concerned, it Is not expected that sny-
ling will come of this Investigation,

KuKLUx AND SOUTHERN IN


The immense cotton crop made last
year is beginning to open the eyes of the
sensible business people of the North, to
the falsity of the Ku Klux charges made
by the Radical politicians everywhere in
the North for The purpose of having po-
litical effect. If the negroes have been
whipped and tcourged and driven from
their work by disguised bands, how mas
there been such an immense yie'd OF cot
tm2 Hiswell lSno Sn that this stapieWhi
not grow without work, hard, continuous
work. There is no cessation of labor IN
the cultivation of cotton, it is work all
the year round. The returns do not look
as though there were any serious impedi-
menls in the way Of labor at the South.
The crop does not show that the South
ern States are in lawless condition or
that the population were given to idle
ness or midnight raids. Il would seem
that the people are attending TO
their business and endesyoIing to
repair the losses caused by the war. The
figures will show what Southern industry
has accomplished in the past year. Ice
cotton crop of 1901 will amount to
four million four hundred and thirty
thousard bales. -Four million OF bales
have been received at the seapolts, ard
three hundred aud twenty thousand have
been cent by railroad to the factories
Of the North. In addition, one
hundred thousand bales have been
used in the Southern factories and ten
thousand have been accidentally burned
These figures give total crop of four
million four hundred and thirty thous-
and bales, very nearly as large as thecrop
of 1s59-60, which amounted to 4,675,-
600 bales. .E
But it was not only the cotton
crop which showed that the people
of the South had been indus
triously occupied. All Of their
other crops plainly showed the effects
of attention and labor. In addition, their
mining and manufacturing interests were
greatly developed and increased. Their
railroad system was much improved and
extended. Indeed SO great and 80 mark
ed have been the evidences of Southern
industry that No Northern man who was
through this eection of country soon after
the war could visit US now without
being foIcibly struck with the vast i'm
provements and developments which
have been made since then. Are these
the fruits of riots and Ku-Klux out
RACES? If they are, we might reasonably
pray for more of them, up
on tire same ground that Pres
ident Lincoln replied to the charge
of drunkenness against Gen. Grant: IT
he could find cut the brand of whisky
Grant drank, he would send barrel of
it to every General IN his army.
