LAST Tuesday New Jersey judge
sent a thieving old bank president to
the penitentiary for five years. He had
appropriated depositors' money to his
own use, and the court held 1t to be
the basest theft. The old scoundrel
sought to make it appear that his sons
had used the money. but failing, was
properly sentenced to hard labor.

SECRETARY SHERMAN says he will
SOON make the country heartily sick of
silver. He will work the mints to
their full capacity and pay ont silver
on all occasions. He says that after
three or four months every Congress
man, who voted for the silver bill and
is a candidate for reelection, will be
defeated. He says the people will be
disgustel in less than ninety days and
want gold or paper, but no silver.

THERE are probably eighty bar
rooms in Galveston. Their sales vary
from SEQ to $50 per diem. If the av.
erage daily sales amount 10 $50, the
amount paid for whisky daily in Gal
weston is not less than S2400, or 1876,
600 per anuum. A tax of one cent on
each drink costing ten cents would
give the city a revenue of $50. 900.
Why not utilize it? The city's current
expenses would be paid and all reve-
nues beyond this might be devoted to
