" NusT SAFELY KEEP in

MUsT SAFELY KEEP. The IN
stances are numerous in which public
treasures are robbed by tie cus.odl'
ans Of their finances, who have sought
to transfer the blame to other parties.
The trick has often succeeded for the
want of proof 20 convict the parties
concerned, although the suspicion of
their guilt may have been strong.
When doubt has been raised. this Is
sufficient to create a public sympathy
for the accused, through the influence
of which he is often enabled TO battle
Justice and escape the penalty OF hls
crimes. Our lawmakers have not
been ignoran: of the frequency with
which this kind of strategy is practic
ed, and so framed the statue as to
make the boudsmen of a def4ultIng
public officer responsible for hls hnan-
cial shortcomings, whether they occur
red from actual robbery or dishonest
appropriation; and su.t which was
tried in Amad0r county few days
ago, before the Eleventh District
Court, is Of some Importance. The
action was against the bondsmen OF
the Treasurer of AmadOr county,
whose accounts were short over S2D,-
coo. This gentleman set up the pea
t. at the money was stolen without
any fault OF negligence on bis part,
from the vault where he had been Ill
rected to put it by the board Of super
visors. The point was oyerraled, on
the ground that the statute explicitly
provides hat tie treasurer shall safe
IL keep" the public money and pay
il out according 10 law. In The
opinion of the court, the order Of the
Board Of Supervisors was not binding
upon the treasurer as against his own
better knowledge OF the proper place
to deposit the pubIic funds 50 they
should be absolutely safe. On this
point the Judge quoted from a decis-
ion Of the supreme court OF Indiana,
which says:
The board could not, by an order which
they had ho authority 10 make, requiring
treasurer TO keep the funds IN a particular
place, bind the comfy and release the Treas
urer from liability.

TURKISH Terms OF PRAcE.-it is
stated that the Porte demands, as the
conditions of peace, that the Servian
army shall be limited to 10000, and
that the fortresSes of Belgrade and
Semandria snail be dismqntled or dis
trOyed. 1t is not probable that any
such terms will be accepted. or that
Servia will be urged to submit to them
by the other powers. They involve
the practical surrender of the province
to Mohammedan rule, since there
would remain under them no means
OF resisting any exaction or oppression
on the part of the Porte. At this
crisis nothing could be more iIladvised
than for Turkey TO insist upon unnec
essary harsh terms, fer by so doing
she gives Russia an excuse for inter
yentlon OF which she may be only too
ready to avail herself, seeing that 10
power OF any consequence is prepared
to sustain the Porte. Considering the
odium she has incurred through the
Bulgarian atrocities moreover it be
hooves Turkey 10 assume a more
modest atti,ue. She has had consid,
erabIe success in her encounters with
the undiSclplined levies Of Servia, but
her best troops long since Learned to
show their backs to the Russian bat
talions, and in contest with the lat
ser there can be no doubt that the
tables would soon be turned. If she
is not willing to grant more favorable
terms than these the probability IS
that the war will be suffered to 60 on,
and that Russi2 will practically bear
the tfunt Of il henceforih.

PEACE WITH TUE INDIANs-Winter

of proyident civilization when the
weather is cold and his larder is empty.
The Indian commission arriving at
Red Cloud Agency finds the Indian
hungry, and, consequently, IN a mood
for any negotiations which are likely
to terminate in something to eat. 1t
is pleasant to note ihe alacrity with
which Red Cloud asked that ratious
for a feast should be distributed at
cnce when the commission arrived at
that intereStering point in their con-
ference. The commission compiled,
and the noble red man become for the
time a convert to peace. The proviS,
ions OF the proposed treaty,aS outlined,
recognize the necessity Of atliXiDg 20
the Indian an individual status. Il Is
proposed, in the first place, to remove
them to territory where they can
find a permanent home. When
there, the Government vii! establish
schools and teach them how to earn q
living. 1t is also proposed to take a
census of the Indians every year, and
to distinguish between Indians who
conform 20 he laws and those who
break them. Il wGnld be well, per
hapS, to further provide tha: the IL
dians who are too full OF dignity to
est. As there are white men who re.
sist even this arguments so there would
probably be Indians of the same lofty
tone of mind but if the discipline did
not give way, they would come to
their senses IN time.
