the LAST eESORT OF ERI Il
pa UA DE ag EMS.

IA Dfsts Il aSs
Last Saturday night the Office of
Attorney General Fields. of Louis
lana, was entered by burglars, the
desks were broken open, and the pa
pens scattered about in confusion.
The public is informed that there
was evidently search for certain pa
pers. The burglars were in no hurry,
for four chairs were left arranged in a
semiecircle, by the side of each of
which was pile of papers. What doc
uments, if any. were stolen is not
stated, and no clue has been obtained
to the identity of the burglars. 1t
may be mentioned incidentally, says
the Charleston Ne,Os and Courier,
that this is the fifth occurrence of the
kind in the same office, and that two
metropolitan policemen, hired at
liberal rate OF compensation, are de-
tailed specially to guard the Attorney
Generals Office. The burglary at this
time, on the eve of the departure of
the Investigating Committee from
Washington, is significant. The Wash
ington safe burglary and the mystic
rious cases of spontaneous combustion
in the War and Navy Departments have
long since illuminated the dark ways
of Radical officials, and exposed their
devices for getting rid of troublesome
documentary evidence. In the present
case, Attorney General Fields charges
Governor Kellogg with completely III
the robbery. And it is likely enough
that the Governor, on his return from
the North, where he is now junketing,
will retort that the job was planned
by Fields himself. Somehow, at all
events, enough ink will be slung to
cover the safe retreat of the whole
ravenous crew of cutie fishes. As the
true inwardness of this loss OF records
will doubtless will never be revealed,
it is hardly worth noticing except in
its bearing upon the archaeology Of the
country The destruction of docu-
ments, superinduced by relentless
Democratic Investigations, is already
alarming; and the confagrations that
may ensue during the. coming dry
summer. unless these Congressional
madmen are induced to stay their dis
loyal hand, cannot be contemplated
without shudder.

RICH DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
COTTON BUREAU.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Gazette, dated Washington, May Cd,
says: The investigation into the cotton
bureau of the Treasury Department
promises rich revelations. Already it
is shown that over three hundred
thousand dollars has been paid to at
torneys for services, for which there
was no authority of law, while the
employment of Judge Frazier of In
diana, late member Of the British
American mixed claim commission, at
a salary of ten thousand dollars per
annum, is also violation of law. Sec
rotary Bristow did not employ him.
He is one of the extravagancies which
followed the appointment of W. A.
Richardson as Secretary Of the

The profuse and ostentatious DISPLAY

The profuse and destinations display
of flowers at funerals has provoked
discussion in New York. and condem-
nation by the press as an unhealthy
and unpleasant extravaganza. The
Herald, in its remarks on the subject,
says: eft is well to make our grave
yards places of beauty, like that at
Rome of which Shelley said it would
almost make one in love with death;
but it is not proper to over-decorate q
funeral and make grief seem discord-
ant and death itself like q skull wear
ing q wreath of roses."

How Is THIS FOR Triton We
have frequently remarked, of late,
the large and growing trade of our
town in grain and stock for shipment.
Strangers and citizens alike have no.
ticed and commented upon the crowd
of teams with which, in spite of the
weather or the roads, our streets have
been crowded day after day. But
we doubt if anyone has realized the
true extent of the aggregate bust
ness; and presume that all will be
quite as much surprised to read the
figures for January's shipments as we
we're when we discovered them yes
terday, by the courtesy Of the Agent,
Mr.. Gray. During the month named,
then, the shipments have been as
follows: J. G. Sheldon-56 carloads
barley, 3 of wheat and l of oats; ?.
NJ. Vest-2l cars barley, ! of wheat
and | of oats; Reeder Bros.-16 cars
hogs and of cattle; N. B. Stanton
Il load of cattle and Is of hogs;
other shippers loads cattle, Z
loads of hogs and 3 loads of sheep.
The aggregate is u loads of barley,
1 of wheat, : of oats, II of cattle,
50 of hogs and 3 of sheep--total, III
car loads, or little over Ave leads
for each working day. The North
western company gave us railroad
outlet when we needed one badly
and we are glad to see them finding
some business here, but it is worthy
of remark in this connection that
about $4,000 was paid for moving
those cars from Upton to Chicago,
aside from the receipts from the i'm
mense amount of other freight re-
ceived and shipped here.

be made. Farther investigation has
ONLY served to confirm us in the
opinion that this Cyclopedia is SUI
perior to any other that is at all with
in the reach Of the average citizen.

not fail to point with the same con-

punishment, as anything really adc-

and out at the other; while forty OF
fifty teams were crowding and cussing
THE teams did the "cussing" by

will handle it over and reship.
