Secretary Z. d. Kanouse, of the
State Board of Charities and Reform,
has made his report of the investiga-
ton made by the Board into the Dele
van scandal. From the evidence it
appears that Principal Lamotte, of the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, is guilty of a
rather too free indulgence in kissing
lady teachers and good-looking lady
pupils; and that Steward A. j. Wood
bury is convicted of frequent attempts
of rape upon young lady pupils. Both
will probably be at once dismissed
from the institution.

declare that we must pay dollars worth Of gold,

We have b peck or about quarts of silver coin
! from the United States Mint When we go to pay
IA debt Of live dollars, this coin is money. II we
wish to pay six dollars OF debt. IL is not money for
we cannot compel a.eroditor to take II. five owe
o man 10000 We can pay him in greenbacks,
which are money, because the law says so. Now,
we demand that every U. s. Bond be paid at
once in this greephpck lawful money, that these
Bonds may no Aon. suck away the life OF the
people to pay Interest
Why pay interest on Bonds? Who Is benefited
by such sobberyl The untaxed rich. Who are

REMEMBER THEsE TRUTHS. Labor creates
