Another Big Swindls.

The New York World is authority
for the statement that Minnesota now
contributes her scandal to the national
disgrace in the form of a gigantic
swindle. The facts are briefly as
follows:
In 1858 the War Department, then
presided over by Mr.. Floyd, agreed
to transfer to Mr.. Franklin Steele and
his associates unknown the Fort
Smelling Reservation" at the contiu-
ence of the Minnesota and Mississippi
rivers. This tract of land contained
1900 acres. Apart from the natural
beauty of the situation, the falls of
Minnehaha being situated in its
usually fertile, and no doubt could
have rested on the mind of any OBJ
serving man that the future great city
of the far Northwest would, ere many
years, include it within its limits. The
transfer was made under the law au-
theriZing the sale of forts not required
for military purposes. The considera-
ton was 500, 900, of which one-third
was paid in cash, another third was
to be paid in n year, and the re-
mainder in two years, without in
terest. 1t has TRANSFERRED that at the
time the property was sold TO Steele
for S90,000 other parties stood ready 10
pay 5000, 900 for it. For the succeeding
ten years a garrison was maintained
at Fort Smelling. In 1868 Mr.. Steele
presented his title bill, charging the
United States S162, 900 for the rent of
their own premises, and ~deducting
$50 900 as the balance which he owed
the Government, his magma nimity in
acknowledging the debt apparently
absolving him from the necessity Of
making any mention Of the eight
years interest on its amount. After
some investigation Secretary Belknap
allowed the claim and paid Mr.. Steele
$102, 900, then settled the land claim by
retaining the fort buildings and 900
acres of land, the title in the remain
ing 6, 800 acres being confirmed to Mr..
Steele. In short, counting interest,
Mr.. Steele was paid S120, 600 for con-
senting to receive 6,0o0 acres of land
as a free gift. Having secured a title,
he sold off the land last month, the
valuation placed upon it in settling
UP hrs accounts with his partners
being $500, 900.

TuE one great question which in
tcrcsts the public, in considering the
failures in New York and Philadel-
phia is, whether the injurious effects
will he confined TO brokers and stock
spectators, or whether the crisis
will affect the general business Of the
country. The general current OF
opinion is that the effects will be lin
tied to tho first named classes. The
mercantile interest is in quitea sound
condition everywhere, business having
been conducted on q conservative
basis. The failures have been con.
fined to brokers, and banks connect
ed with them. So many failures will
affect business sympathetically, but
there is good reason to believe that
the crisis will pass without any seri
ous danger outside the stock inter.
est. The panic will have the good
effect TO check over trading and in
duce cash transactions, rather than
credit operations. The over trading
has been in stocks. and the crisis will
as a general thing touch only stock
gamblers, over whom it will not bC
best to shod many tears.

Treasury Management,

The Pennsylvania State Treasury
has been an object Of incessant at
tack by the Democrats 80 long as 1t
has been in Republican hands, and
we do not doubt that many Demo
Gratis sincerity believe the condition
of things. Yet, says the Philadel-
phia North american, under Demo
cratic management the State finances
showed no reduction of the State
debt, while under Republican man.
agement the debt has been reduced
from Sil,OO0,000 to S2i,OSl,6l6 go,
OF this reduction S57i.745 9l was
made during August, 1873.
Under such circumstances 1t If
rather ludicrous to find the Demo
Gratis ondoavoring oprove some i'm
aginary deficit in the accounts, and
complaining of the large balance al
ways kept on hand ms IA safeguard
The Republicans have managed the
State finances with eminent shrewd-
ness and skill, and deserve credit for
it ut the hands of the people. The
debt of the Commonwealth on which
we have TO pay interest, is really on
" S17,000,00O, rs the rest is offset by
debt due the Commonwealth by
the Pennsylvania railroad company,
which pays the interest regularly and
extingnishes n portion Of the princi'
pal annually.
All this success has been accom-
plished without amy increase OF taxa
ton. Indeed the tax on real estate
has been abolished, and some minol
taxes also. The surplus in the Treas
ury Increases annually in consoquenc,

of interest to be paid. Hence if W

Judge Gordon.

The popularity of Judge Gordon,
the Republican candidate for JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, apart
from consideration Of his high moral
character and knowledge Of law, is
attributable TO tho fact that he is
emphatically man of the people
Born in poverty (says the Pittsburg
Commercially and compelled to make
n stubborn struggle for existence, he
found his place in early youth among
the toilers, and worked his way up
to manhood and intelligence through
severe labors by day and sevorer
studies by night, What he has learn
cd from books he snatched rs he
went along, and he has attained to
cminence in his profession through
the same unwearied industry that
made him efficient as mechanic,
and by improving tho few opportu-
mites afforded in life of toll and
effort. His success, as n lawyer, il
therefore-all the greater credit TO
him, His way to it was not paved
by rich and indulgent parents, but
lay through troubles, and trials aud
difficulties that required vigorous
manhood to overcome.
The great masses of the people
OF tho men who work and stuggle for
life-can therefore fully appreciate
such man as Judge Gordon. He
is one Of themselves. He has passed
through the fiery furnace, and he
knows how to sympathize with and
comprehend their wants and necessi-
ties Experience and study have
fitted him for tho bench but they
have not blotted out or dimmed his
recollections Of his earlier years of
manual labor. He is the son of toll
as well as of the schools; and the
people, in electing him TO the Su-
preme bench, will be able to realize
that they are not merely choosing a

ing one Of themselves to the highest

PARTY REsPoNsrDuIrY.-The Repub-
lican party is responsible for those
measures and acts which it endorses or
defends. To hold il accountable for
every act of its servants is to condemn
n community for every transgression
of the law No code of laws can
make men honest; no organization
can be entirely free from ruscallity
Laws can restrain the disorderly and
punish dishonesty; organizations
can repudiate rascality when found
Beyond this, neither law nor organi-
zation can be Justly held responsible
for the shortcomings of those who
are dishonesty inclined. Human
judgment is often in error; conf
dence, apparently well founded, is
abused; men who hold good reputa-
tations fail the trusted turn ont
rascals. This has been so from the
foundation of timc, and will, in all
probability, continue to the end.
The best we can hope for is that bad
men, as soon rs known, shall be dri-
ven from power; that questionable
public measures shall be denounced
that good men shall bo selected to
right the wrong done; and that Il
sharp watch be kept upon those who
are for the time being called to re
present and protect the peoples in
terests. The purest individual that
ever lived has made mistakes; has re
posed confidence in unworthy men.
70 expect otherwise is to lool, fol
perfection in human nature. The
best party that can be organized by
the wisdom, Intelligence, and patriot
ism of the nation will at times be led
into tho support of men who will
prove unworthy of public confidence.
70 endorse the acts of these men
would be to transfer their iniquity to
the party itself; to promptly repudi
ate them is to elevate the party above
roproach or censure. We should
draw a broad line between the bad
faith of servant and the good inten
tions of his master The Republican
party has had its faithless servants
but in no case has it attempted tC
shield them from the punishment
they earned, AS soon as discov
cred the party has repudiatec
, them, and entered before the peopl,
its earnest protest against their acts
The record of every Republican Stat,
convention gives evidence of sterl
ing morality among the masses OF
the people Never in its history has
its standard of public integrity stood
as highas it does today. 1t demands
, honest men for public positions and
, is determined to have them. Nc
, measure, no act, no character can
hope TO DO whitewashed by the Re
, publican party. Both man and meas
ure must stand upon their merits. II
they are just and true, the party will
be quick TO support and advocate
them if unjust and dishonest, they
will be consigned to oblivion. We
have faith in party that stands
guard over the actions of its servants.
that is ready to repudiate whatever
is wrong; that is independent enough
to exact from it's leaders the highest
qualities Of personal character and
official integrity. The Republic :
