satanic majesty, wc should have been
exceedingly amiablc in our fattituda
towards him. Perhaps Enough, he
imagines that his position is awe inspir-
ing, and that those who have never had
any private conversations with him will
not dare to measure arms with the
monied Mogul of the ring. Here he is
mistaken. To be State Treasurer is not
to have Aladdin's lamp.
Hereafter whom Mr.. Card go rushcs

So much for Mr.. C's billingsg,tc. lie.
us now examine his facts.
Mr.. Cardozo charges Julse Anlrews
With having got Humbert to cash the
six thousand lollar order which brought
him out deiaulter. In our opinion
the State Treasurer would be reas,tin,
his own interest by having as ittlo to
say about the order in question rs
possible. We charge that he is as guilty
as any Que connect: "a with tho trans,c c.

Mr.. Carlozo says he never reported
thirty two County Treasures. The
devil he didn't! His report is pl,ir
and upon receiving it res s,lution was
passed by the House instructing the
Attorney General to proceed against

Debtor means q person who owes

Now: how III the name of common sense

out becoming at the same time de.
foulter to the State? Will the astut o
Cardozo inform us. We believe TINT
the term debtor is more significant in
its meaning, and when applied to
County Treasurer and his public relation
to the State, leaves no room for any OF e
to douot tho fact Of his defalcation.
Therefore VIC repeat that those whom
Cardozo reported to ths General Assem-
