over in parcels when finished. She
never had friend call or received a
letter. Mother often told me she
thought "Miss Waltham" had some
thing on her mind, that she had seen
trouble, but Miss Waltham never told
mother or myself anything of the sort.
l remember a circumstance which
we took no notice of at the time, but
which has some bearing on the case
now. My brother used to come over
occasionally and read for us, and
Miss Waltham liked to hear him. One
day he was going to read about the
WalWorth murder and she said: afOh,
don't read that; don't like to hear of
murders !" On mother wishing to
hear it and my brother to read it, she
got up and left the room. With that
exception l know of no other case.
She never made any attempt to con-
ceal herself, and from her speech and
department has evidently been
brought up in good circumstances.
She had several dresses, not expensive
but neat. She exercised great taste
in her dress, and was always very
clean. Her room was always tidy
and in order, and, as 1 said before, we
thought a good deal of her and
thought her to be perfect lady. She
used to hire piano, which she played
upon. She was not a good player,
but said she was very fond of music.
She was fond of going to Beecher's
church, and used to attend every Sun
day regularly.

senator rhurman Inseryiewea.

The reporter of the Cincinnati
ComgaeyciaI recently interviewed Sem
ator Thurman and obtained from him
the following very sensible views Oh
the situation:
He did not question the motives OF
those in what is called the Allen
county movement, but thought ii a
mistake. If the Democratic party
should ever conclude to d.isband its
organization, its purpose to do so will
not be left in doubt. No such disso-
luton could take place unless the
great mass of the party was thorough
I convinced that it ought to take place.
/ Were they so convinced, the organi-
zation would be abandoned at once,
not in this or that spot, but all over
4 the country. But we see nothing of
the kind. In every State the party
maintains its organization, and the
| talk about abandoning it is not the
talk of the masses but of the politi-
clans, and the masses will never be
brough to abandon by being told that
\ their party is odious, that there is an
l-odoP of treason about it, and the like
l-offensive expressions that are fire.
/
They regard such things as an insult
and the only effect is to make them
adhere to the party with more tenaci-
| tyM Too much stress was laid upon
Tie fact that the party had been de-
feafed constantly for the last twelve
years. ] is opponents, under one name
or another-Federalist National Re-
fpublicans or Whigs-had been defeat
ed more than three times twelve
years yet they ultimately triumphed
in 1910, and again in lS48, and again
in 1860. If they could perseYere, al
though defeated so often and for such
long. periods, the Democratic party
could also perseveFe. Some people
supposed that all that was necessary
in order to secure success was to drop
the name Democrat; but nothing
could be more erroneous What good
had resulted to the Federal party by
dropping its name and taking that of
National Republicans. afterwards
abandoning that for Whig? A mere
change of name effects nothing, and
and an attempt by politicians to form
a new party with no higher object
than success, never did and never will
succeed. The Democrats and Liberal
Republicans might well enough act
together, and it would not be the
fault of the Democrats if they did
not. 1t was mere slang to talk about
Bourbon Democracy. To apply such
an epithet to party that could sacri-
fee its pride and prejudice, as the
Democratic party did last year was
simply injustice and abuse.

TIE radical papers are gloating over
the fact that thirty-two members OF
the House of Representatives and
fourteen Senators have returned their
pack pay to the Federal Treasury
But not one of them viii, nor will
Grant, whose signature gave validity
to the law, refuse to accept the addi-
tional pay voted to themselves with
out consulting the people There
may be a great deal of virtue in those
members who voted for the plunder
surrendering it at this late day, when
they find they have stirred up hor-
nets nest They are much in the con-
dition of the little darkey who was
engaged in catching flies. At length
he closed down upon yellow-jacket,
shouting, ''Zip, I've got yaller fly =
But no sooner did he feel the sharp
sting, than he sang out "Zip, let
him go again !" So with these virtu-
Gus members OF Congress. No sooner
do they begin to feel the sting of pub
lie indignation than they let 90 their
ill-gotten plumber. But they have
spoken too late.

The radical papers have been deriv-
ing vast amount of comfort from a
Washington dispatch charging Jacob
Thompson, Mr. .Buchanan's Secretary,
with being adefaulter to the Treasury
in the sum of 1921, 900. 1t is a pity to
spoil that story, and deprive them of
their consolation, as does the follow
ing Washington special;
The deficit of $82l,OO0 charged
against Jacob Thompson, Secretary of
the Interior under Buchanan's admin
istration, is explained by the state
ment that the amount of Indian trust
bonds were abstraeted by one God
dard Bailey, clerk in the department
of the Interior The deficit, though
charged to Thompson's account, is
carried from year to year in the ac-
connts of the Secretary of the Inte-
rior. The Indian faust fund accounts
of Secretary Delano have been set
tied up to June 30th. tsa

SECRETARY RICHARDSON has decided
that the pack pay of members of Con-
gress which is left in the Treasury,
"remains perpetual debt against the
government, unless the law is re-
pealed." It is also held that the act
of covering in is formality of Treas
ury business which operates only as
an estoppel upon the fund as to the
Treasury. 1t does. not of necessity
defeat the legal right to ackpay1 y1after
the appropriation has been covered in.
Even then the member or his heirs
may go to the Court of Claims and
recover a judgment, which would be
paid out of the annual appropriations
to pay judgments of the Court of
Claims. Under this holding, what
does it amount to for Congressman to
refuse to take the plunder? It re-
mains perpetual debt against the
government.

Sensible Suggestions.

In his speech at Chillicothe on the
Fourth, Senator Thurman made some
sensible suggestions in reference to
amending the Federal Constitution in
regard to the provisions for electing
the President and Vice President. He
claimed that the Constitution as ii
now stands is very imperfect in this
respect, and may lead to the gravest
of evils. He said /: aroaz.
Now upon the counting, the gravest
questions have arisen, and may again
arise. Thus, at the count in February
1869, a question was raised whether
the State of Georgia was entitled to
vote at all, and the startling decision
was announced by the President OF
the Senate, that under the legislation
of Congress, her vote should be
counted, provided it did not change
the result, but that if it would change
the result it should be rejected. In
point of fact the result did not de-
pend upon her vote, but had it done
so, and the vote been rejected, who
can tell what commotion and trouble
might have followed2 ? Again, upon
the count last February, there were
returns from two sets of electors oil
the State of Louisiana-one set vot-
ing for Grant and the other for Gree
ley-and both were rejected and the
State lost her vote. The votes of two
other States-Arkansas and Texas
were rejected upon technical excep.
tions to the election returns, and they
also lost their votes, a9
He claimed that under the present
system it is in the power of a bare
majority of either House of Congress
to throw out the vote of a State and
defeat the will of the people. a mar
might be declared elected to the Pres.
idency who had not received a major
ity of the votes cast, Or the election
might be made to devolve on the
House of Representatives, where the
vote of the smallest State in the Union
would count as much as that of Ohio
or New York. We are glad to know
that the Senate took some steps to.
ward amending the Constitution il
this respect at the last session. They
appointed an able committee to take
into consideration this subject during
the. recess, and no doubt at the mex
meeting of Congress they will be
ready to report a suitable amend
ment. 7asea3 a s4 /.

A SERIOUS accident occurred at the
paper-mill of a A. Culbertson, at Mo-
nongahala City last Thursday morn
ing. The employees had been at work
but a short time, when one of the
steam driers burst, knocking down a
portion of the bull ding. A boy
named Parkinson, working near the
drier at the time of the explosion,
was hurled through the wall of the
building, and struck stone building
used as a warehouse, and was COM
pletely covered with debris. Both of
his legs and one arm were broken. 1t

time of the journey to the prison by
pleasant allusions to events as they
happened, and said of the handouts
which linked him to Gillem, the wife
murderer, "They are the starchiest

IT has not yet transpired that Grant

convicted of having violated the law
in voting for him last fall. Yet all
the balIot-box stnfEers, repeaters, bib
ers and false counters, of the male
persuasion throughout the country
who aided in his reelection receive
executive clemency. This is the res
pectful consideration of the claims of
the women of America which was so

The Maine Republican Convention
denounced the Credit Mobilier carpet
baggers, Grants Louisiana usurpa-
ton, and the Congressional salary
steal. This looks very much like re-
pudiating the Republican party, for
these are the leading principles of that
party as exemplifed by practice in
Congress and by the head of the Adj
ministration, While this is the result
in Maine, General Butler proposes to
stand by the party and the President
of its choice by running for Cover
nor of Massachusetts, as the advocate
and defender of all those questions
From this we are to infer that the Re-
publican party has one set of princi-
pies in Maine and another in Massa-
chusetts. Butler in his course has at
least one merit, and that is, declining
to play the role of hypocrite.

The above significant" article as

point. We know not whether the
figures given are correct, but it is GER
tain that there was but one man whose
refusal to approve could have defeated
the vilIainv, and that was President
GRANT. How careful these subseFV-
lent organs are to say nothing of this
great and vital fact! With them fthe
king can do no wrong" President
Grants grab was in front, not "back." !"
His pay was one hundred thousand
dollars front pay, no "back pay 1t
was a lovely arrangement, accOmmo-
dating members of Congress just re-
tiring-members who were coming
in, and those who were to continue, as
well as providing that the President
should get fifty thousand dollars
year instead of twenty-five. Of course
President Grant was not the man to
veto such "grab"-it would not be
in his line. All this and much more
did not prevent the late radical state
convention of Ohio from indorsing
Grant and his administration.
We therefore maintain that the rad
ical organs and leaders approve of the
salary yiIlainy. None of them de-
nounce their President for making the
measure law. Until they do this,
all else they may say is nonsense, un-
worthy of attention or consideration.
What sort of consistency is ii in them
to denounce Congress and not the
President for the salary grab. Did
not his approval make the measure a
law? Who then, as an individual, is
really responsible? None other than
