The history of these shameful frauds, as given by

a Senator chose to order. At first, members gave
orders on the clerks to deduct the amount from their
pay Soon the orders largely exceeded that pay;
the accounts were then included in the report of the
Committee on Contingent Accounts, and pay certlh-

Orr Washington dispatches give assurances
which will be found convincing of the pur-
nose of the President to veto the Silver Bill,
and that, too. in language which cannot he
mistaken. While he has carefully absained
from declaring, as he was, of course, i'll pro-
priety bound to do, that he should veto the
BILL yet he is so thoroughly committed against
it. not only by the unequlvOcal utterances of
his message in December, but by his even
more positive though unofficial expressions of
recent date, that those who predict veto
are only hoping against hope, and lying
in the face of facts. This bill does not forbid
the payment of interest on the public debt III
silver, and Mr.. Hayes has distinctly stated
that silver bill which did not contain such
a provision would not meet his views. This
bill does not except past contracts from ITS
operation it was expressly designed to pro-
mote swindlng on past contracts, and an
amendment designed to defeat this project
was overwhelmed by an adverse vote i'll the
Senate. Mr.. Hayes has also distinctly insisted
on the necessity of just such provision lie
has even pronounced the bill dishonest, though
it was done with mildness that might have
been spared. The President cannot sign the
Silver Bill, and Will not. Dut the iuI"VI U.Vi
will only be blighted by the veto itself.

The irrepressible Thessalians are determined
not to trust for freedom TO the Franks-nOr
the Russians They have already fought their
Lexington, and seem likely to continue in
arms until they gain something more substan-
tial than promises.
II must have been with gratifo4 sense OF
victory that General Todlebcn on Wednesday
entered the fortress of Rustchuk, which the
Turks had deemed impregnable. His satisfac-
ton must have been all the greater that the
stronghold was won rather 10y diplomacy than
the sword. He could hardly foresee that it was
the Ottoman Empire that was at stake at
Plevna, and not Osman Pasha's army alone.
President Dlaz has improved on the sages who
based religious equality on the rights OF con-
science. He considers that rival creeds prevent
stagna;On, and are thus as essential to national
progress as parties are to politics. Whatever
NAV be his train of thought, the friendly man
Der in which he received the missionaries
ought to count in his favor, when we become
convinced that he is actually President of
Mexico.
A wel-krown American, who rs at the head
of a Paris banking house, offers some brief
but emphatic testimony, on another page, as TO
the effect of the silver agitation on our credit
in France. lie declares that great excitement
prevails among the French people on this
question, and that while large numbers of our
bonds have been sold, the end of the damage
is yet to be seen. This is the verdict OF
silver country upon the Silver Bill.
While our ears are still filed with the racket

Of the making of museums there is no end,
but it seems hardly in accord with the fitness
of things that the museum OF implements OF
crime which the detectives long ago col
lectcd, should have grown to be an Old
story before the museum of Biblical and mis-
sionary relics and records, which the Union
Seminary opened yesterday. should have been
organized at all. Still less so that it should
be necessary to beg little money with which
to enlarge an historical department likely
to be of so much interest in connection with
a famous seminary. The good which the
officers of the Union Theological Seminary
think they could do with $500 ought to tempt
that amount ont of pocket somewhere.

The San Francisco demagO gue Kearney, was not
entirely ORIGINAL when he said, the other day, after
remarking that he was not afraid of a rope, Even
if these men were to take me tomorrow and hang
me- would put the rope around my own neck, be-

glarics and thefts aud other crimes without num-
Der, and been in prison in nearly every State

that 'propcrty il robbery" but unlike HIM,
he had the courage of his convictions, and
acted upon instead of talking about them.
He was dissatisfied with the rations ut the Connect

imagined il was rather Il crcdltabe performance,
and when he was about to be executed he did actu-

There is a marked decline in the enthusl-
asm with which the proposed Conference or
Congress was received when the project was
first preached by Austria. While many
obstacles are put forward, the real
source of opposition is the conviction
that Russia will enter into a final set
Element with Turkey before the Conference
assemblies, and thus render its business merely
formal. The peremptory demand which Rus
STA has made on Turkey to fix limit for the
execution of the treaty of peace, makes clear
this purpose to leave little scope for foreign
intervention.

Another entertaining letter on life insurance
affairs in Connecticut, from our correspondent
who has already shed so much light on the
subject is printed this morning. The pro-
position for recognizing the Charter Oak
Company is making slow but steady progress.
The Continental Life (of Hartford) is struggling
to preserve its old organization, while Judge
Shipman is urging bill for an amended
charter, which will give the election of part OF
its officers to its policy-hOlders, and the APP
pointment of the remainder to the Governor.
The investigation into the conduct of In
surance Commissioner Stedman has hardly
begun.

Sheriff King Secures Two of His Birds---
Other Criminals.
At o'clock last evening the county Jail
was graced with quite number of distin-
guished arrivals, the guests all reaching the
city on the same train over the Northern
Pacific railroad. First, Sheriff King landed
behind the bars Billy Hughes and Thomas
O'Brien, two of the four who broke Jail here
on the afternoon of the LIST inst. They we're
recaptured at Brainerd, which place they at
tanned by walking combined with stealing
rides upon the trains. Second, Deputy Sheriff
E. A. Grant, of Fargo, D. T., had in charge
Michael Cronan, sentenced to a four-years'
term in the Detroit penitentiary-th prison
for Dakota territory convicts-for man
slaughter. Third, Sheriff Frank Moulton,
of Rapid City, D. T., came with three des-
peradoes from the Black Hills. Two of them
are United States prisoners and are consign-
ed to Saltwater for one year, the highest
penalty for their crimes. They
are Charles Jackson, convicted Of
stealing cattle, and Clark Pelton
| alias VIM. Webster, alias VIM. Clark, 8
'road agent" The third Black Hitler is
named Joseph Ryerson, who is to serve two
years in Detroit penitentiaay for cattle steal
ing, he being territorial prisoner. Thu
convicts from the Black Hills had their fee
shackled by chains rivetted by blacksmith
upon their ankles, the sheriff evidently de
signing to take no risks, and the irons car
only be removed by their fastenings bein,
punched out or filed off. The four las
named prisoners will be taken to their sew
eral destinations to-day, while Hughes an,
O'Brien will not get second chance at
rotten floor.
