hUu 70 On.
x1~Thc centennial Fourth has come
and gone. Ia almost every county and
in every considerable town and village
in the land, the demonstrations Of nat.
rlotism and rejoicing were loud and en-.
thusiastic. And even where there were
no formal celebrations, bou6res, rockets,
bells and other noisy demonstrations
ushered in the day Everybody, every.
where, seemed to be jubilant, and their
pont-up enthusiasm received vent in all
conceivable ways. And why not The
nation was hundred years old, and this
was her birthday. 1t was u worthy oc.
casion, and it was scarcely possible to
overdo the work Of celebrating when
done in spirit of virtuous enthusiasm.
We celebrated not only the founding Of
the republic with all that is meant by
such an important event, but we also
celebrated She achievements of tho first
century. The foundations were laid
with pure hands, in deep faith and fervid
aspirations, and amid heroic struggles.
the memory Of which, refreshed year by
year in such commemorative exercises, is
a mighty source of inspiration to preserve
the sacred heritage and keep it from
degradation. And the growth and de.
velopment Of the nation, SO much be-
yond the most sanguine expectations, in
every material respect, and scarcely less
10 culture, taste, civilization, refinement,
and may we not add, virtue, is cause
for rejoicing and prompter to renewed
effort to realize The perfection of excel
lence in attainment to which We NAV
reasonably aspire. This days service
concentrating past achievements must
be useful in helping us to gather fresh
inspiration for the great work which re.
mains to be done.

Another big fraud has been unearthed
at Washington, after remaining undiscov.
cred for half a generation A recent act
of Congress directed the transfer of the
Indian trust funds, hitherto held by the
secretary of the interior, to the treasurer,
aud Secretary Chandler has been having
al inventory made of the various stacks,
bonds and securities that constitute these
funds. In the course of this overhaul.
ing it was discovered that besides the
S97 900 taken by Jake Thompson. who
was President Buchanan's secretary of
the interior, a million and half of cash
was taken by some Of Thompson's prede.
cessors in the secretaryship and replaced
with various kinds Of southern bonds, al.
most all of which are absolutely worth.
less The government therefore owes the
Indians not only the million and a half
originally taken from their fund, but the
interest on that sum, during nearly 20
years, and the fraud will probably foot
M well toward FIVE million dollars. How
mauy like frauds are buried among the
archives and in the bookkeeping depart
meuts ?--Sp' inqfeld Republican
The Republican is a little rash thus to
expose its Democratic allies, but the al.
herents of this political faith are not sens.

quency within the party. aud OF course no

xEThe unfortunate dead. lock ia the
passage Of the appropriation bills by
Congress on account Of the disagreement
Of the two houses seems to have been
entirely unnecessary from tho beginning
The Democratic house attempted to take
advantage of the privilege accorded to
that body to originate all bills for the
appropriation Of money and thereby Sc
cure legislation which is entirely objec.
tionable to the senate. So they attached
orders to the necessary appropriation
bills involving matters which had no
necessary connection with the main bill.
And as these matters were objectionable
to the senate they demanded separation,
that each measure might stand on its
own merits. 10 refusing to CONCUR 10
these bills the senate merely denies that
the house has right to say, as expressed
by the New York Times 1T you do
not consent to the transfer Of the milan
