Secor Robeson's Riches.
From the Baltimore Sun.


1t is reported in Wall street that when
Secretary Robson went into Office he bor-
rowed 81 900 to make presentable APP
pearance, and that to-day he is worth not
less than $2,000,00O.
1t is the firm belief of those who know
what they are talking about, that millions
upon millions have been squandered upon
tayorites by the navy department ever
since the commencement of the war, and
that the squanderiDg or plundering is still
in pleasant operation,
Let me cite briefly enc case. A con-
tractor who has had hold of the navy teat
for years, and who two years ago, lived in
a 81 900 residence, now lives in one that
cost. with its surroundings, $250,O0O.
The palace was built by himself by days
work, and was nearly three years in course
OF erection, The furniture in it came
partly from Paris, and cost $4,000. The
stable, built near the residence, is valued
at $4,000.
But this is not all Said contractor, in
addition to the above, has become the
owner, since his connection with the navy
department., of hundreds of acres of land
nd valuable buildings and stores, which
e has either erected or purchased. In
iced, he is ranked as the wealthiest man
IN the county in which he resides, and that
Is not an hours distance from the city.
These are the facts, and they carry their
own comments.

Mrs. BeIknap on the Offence

WHAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN'DoINa
FOR YEARS.
Prominent Men Guilty in the..same

Washington correspondence ". Y. Herald

Washington correspondence N. Y. Herald
Mrs. Belknap said day or two ago to a
friend, who relates her conversation, that
she did not consider herself criminal
or that she had done anything particularly
wrong; at least she did not feel that she
was committing a great sin when she used
her influence to get her friends positions.
But. said she, IF | have sinned
others have doubly si1ned; if am guilty
of crimes others are guilty of double
crimes"
She vent on to say that she had done
only what others had been doing for years.
She was sure that many people in her
place would have done far worse than she
and used their influence to the fullest ex-
tent. This confidante of Mrs. Belknap
says that Mrs. Belknap and her
friends make no secret in their
private conversation of these things. Ac
cording to their admission the practice is
one Of long standing.
Mrs. Belknap says that her case is Of
little Importance compared with the
situation of the others. The names Of
prominent men are threatened as having
secured offices for their friends through
the influence of their presents and their
money Mrs. Belknap says that astound-
ing facts will be brought to light if the
committee are anxious for them, and that
she is far from deserving the deep con.
demnation that has been heaped upon her
by the public.

Belknap Has Insulted Every Honest
Wife in the Land

What putrid mess of vulgarity were
Mr., Belknep and his two wives. At the
taneral of the first wife it is arranged with
the accomplice that the stolen money
should thereafter be paid to the sister, who
in time becomes the second wife. Dolives
of open shame afford more vulgar exhibi-
tons of unclean human nature?
The usual numbering and soldering of
sickly sentimentality has begun. Fine
fellow; sorry for him-sorry tor his wife. ~
Are you? You will say mo" with hard
emphasis before the nation can be healed.
When men set their teeth tight and draw
down their faces to the manner of fixed
purpose, and begin to say Remove the
vile things out of our sight, then we shall
approach daybreak. For he is not fine
fellow, and deserves no sympathy. He
has plastered all over himself and all over
the woman whom he called wife inficting
an insult on every honest wife in the land,
the flaming placards of low breeding and
nasty yulgaritv.

The crisis came when the ignorant sol
der, coarse in his tastes and blunt in his
perceptions, f nd of money and material
enjoyment and of low company, was put
in the presidential char. His real
character as CIVILIAN began to appear
very early in his administration 1t was
fully revealed when he received his second
nomination, and on the day he received it
the Republican party assumed the respOn-
slbility for him and his followers which is
to-day covering it with infamy.

Cause Of the Turkish War.

WAsnINeToN, Aug. 1e-Arista-
iricki Bey, the Turkish minister has
received the official declaration of the
Turkish government, dated Constan-
tinople the laih, giving the history OF
the commencement OF hos,ilities with
Servia and Montenegro. It sets forth
the concessions made to Servla under
the treaty OF Paris, aud speake Of the
efforts Of the Porte to aid in develop
lug the prosperity Of the principality.
The strife was caused by few ambi-
tions and restless men who sacrificed
in vain popularity the true interests
OF the country, and from the begin.
ming of the insurrection in Hcrsego-
vipia, have by every means in their
power, aided the insurgents, Not
wi,hs,andiag their dislo,al attitude,
the greatest forbeasanee hal been
shown by the Porte, and taking sd-
vantage Of its pacific disposition, they
prepared themselves TO take an actiye
part in the insurrcction. Finally af,
fairs reached such a point, that the
imperial government was compelled
TO formally ask the authorities ..
Belgrade 10 explain the reason for
the. concentralization Of troops near
the. Turkish Vilayets. Prince Milan
in reply charged the responsibility. of
military measures upon the Porte,
and addressed \ letter asking that hts
troops be allowed to enter Bosnia FOR
the purpose as he said, Of pacifying
;,hat ll-S !. eou.YFy. K, Il and concluding by de-
claring that in case OF refusal nc was
resolved TO ac, accordingly In. the
meantime his agent at Constaptinople
requested that Servia be given the
administration OF BOSNIA on c0Hdfirion
of paying an annual tribute. With
out awaiting reply the Scrvians in
vaded the Turkish provinces and the
Prince Of Montenegro also declared
hostility. The Porte WAS therefore
compelled to rcpel aggression by
force. This commenced the war. The
declaration there goes on TO state
how the Porte had religionsly adhered
10 the treaty of Paris, and places upon
The Princes of Servia aud Montene-
gro the onms Of having broken their
treaty stipulations. The document
concludes as follows: Trusting in
the justice Of our cause, all our efforts
shall tend toward vigorous prose
cution Of the struggle wAged against
us, and try to bring il to speedy
close. BY this means we shall be
ab1e TO execute sooner the reforms
and improvements which our august
sovereign has 6rm will to introduce
in the cmpire.''
