and that they were his own property and no
one else had any interest in them. And even
"Poker' Jack Mcclure who came all the wy
from Arkansas for the purpose of smirching Q
Mr.. Blaine, was compelled to admit that :

Some one had told him a second-hant ,iy-
to the effect that an engineer by the .u, of
Robinson had carried package col ing
bonds from Josiah Caldwell to Mr.. Blame.
But Robinson swears that he did not know
that the package contained bonds, did not
even have suspicion that it did. Yet the
"indepenent" press will struggle to convince
the public that this package rolled up in brown
paper and tied with string and which the
ex-Speaker threw down carelessly in his room
contained $4,000 in bonds, and will de
nounce the people as fools because they will
not believe it.

IT is but fair to assume that it is the sensa-
tional SANDER monger who has worked up
the reports to the discredit of Speaker Kerr
published elsewhere. 1t is fair TO do so be-
cause as public man he has acquired the
reputation of being one above the taking of
bribe and incapable of participating in any
corrupt transaction. A reputation of such
a character resulting from so long public
service is too dear 20 the possessor, and of too
much value in making up and maintaining
that public confidence so essential to the
welfare of the nation. True, Speaker Kerr
is Democrat, and during the war was an
Copperhead, and we cannot conceive the
contingency which would make us feel that
it was duty to support him. At present.
however, he holds the second office in i'm
portance in the nation. Because he holds
that high position, and because both parties
have had confidence in his character, we
trust that the reports are calumnies. We
are free to say that we believe they are-that
the party who got the money tor the COM
mission-the bookkeeping middleman-kept
1t and started the story. And in this
connection it may be proper to add that
the most contemplate, and at the same
time the most dangerous scoundrels in the
country are those who are laboring to shake
the confidence of the country in its con-
spicuous public men. They are public
enemies, and there should be some law under
which they can be punished.

WE have received postal card asking us
to give gratutous notice to the fact that
arrangements have been made by Christian
people in Philadelphia to open their homes to
Christian visitors during the Centennial,
where board may be obtained at prices vary
ing from IS to SIS per week. The reason
given for restricting this favor to Christians
is that Christians in Philadelphia do not feel
like having all sorts of people in their homes.
From prudential point of view the reason
is good one, but we remember an older
Christian authority declared that sinners and
not the righteous are called to embrace the
means of repentance. Those who feel fitted
to embrace this offer, which, we have no
doubt includes nearly all the readers of the
PRESS, should address the coffee for Cen
tennial Christian Homes, care of Rev. Edwin
NJ. Long, S. E., corner of 18th and Berks
streets, Philadelphia, Pa" At the head of
the card there is flag and the question:
At the next Centennial where shall we be ?'
That's good ways ahead, Mr.. Long.

MASSACHUSETTS papers are making haste
to announce that the people of the old Com
monwealth may look out for another specta-
Gle such as was witnessed at Boston and
Worcester Friday, in about three mouths
when they think Pomeroy will be ready for
the gallows. 1t is to be hoped that the par
ties who wrung Frosts neck from his body
will be allowed to manage Pomeroy's execu-
ton, for it has been pretty thoroughly demon
strated that an ordinary hanging has no eff
feet in checking murder, while the Worcester
process of twirling man around till his
head is twisted from his body may be more
effective in this direction. At any rate ad-
vocates of capital punishment should give it
fair trial.

THE late A. 7. Stewards bequests were
much larger than one would suppose from
the defective manner in which they were
stated. The bequests of $1,000 to each of his
employees who had been in his service for
twenty years will aggregate $4,000; those of
$500 to each employe who had served him
ten years will amount to $115,5OO, while
thirty-six others will receive sums ranging
from $3.50 to $4,000, making a total of
$2O5,750 in addition to the 100000 be-
queathed to faithful servants and subordi-
mates.

THE Senate Committee on Railroads has
prepared bill which embodes plan for a
sinking fund to be provided by the Union Pa.
cifc and other roads which have had govern

them and the value thereof will be credited
to them as part of the sinking which is to
discharge their obligations on account of
Government bonds.

AN Aroostook editor is known wherever his
name is known as the ''great deadh ead''-
who thinks it feather in his cap that he
travelled from Aroostook to New York at a
cash outlay of twenty-five cents, regrets that
Mr.. Blaine is not ''high-toned'' enough to be
President. Why didn't some one give him a
new dime the last time he was around?

AND now an Augusta SANDER seeker in
his eagerness to do anything to beat Blaine'

written by Mr.. Blaine in which he refuses to
purchase bonds of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. This is running emptins" with a
vengeance. Let the next hurry up.

by reason of the financial embarrass-

day exerting a powerful influence over

are safe IN predicting ia at this road will

we are right, then let Bolivar be up and
doing in order to secure the same, and
not allow Jackson to outstrip as in this
