satisfied you are very hard to please.
We must be prudent, moderate, conN

be in power when the universal Exhi-

we have to proceed to the elections OF

An insurance president has come to
grief A few days ago in New York, l
q. Lambert, ex- president of the Ameri'
can Popular life insurance company
convicted Of swearing to false annual
report, was arraigned in the court OF
oyer and terminer. He spoke for about
two hours and a-half, claiming that he
was bounded down by the press and
that the witnesses against him were in
terested, and be asked for the lightesi
sentence possible. Judge Brady said the
prisoner deserved 10 be punished, and
the court without sympathy or regret
sentenced him to five years in the state
prison.
There are quite a number Of like ras-
Gals who are still unwhipped, and above
IS the kind Of example that should be
made of them. 1t has been too much
the custom to let the big thieves down
easy and make penitentiary colonists Of
the minor criminals.

The Aldermanic Committee, OF New

yestigate the ring frauds, having conciud-
cd its labors, have made long report to
+he Board of Aldermen, summing up the
result The committee make it appear
that between January l, 1868, and July
1s71 the enormous sum Of $50, ,ooo,ooO
was fraudulently diverted from the oi'y
treasury by the corrupt practices OF .le
ring and that this does not INCLUDE tne
amount stolen by the ring in the boaro ado
of snnervisors between 1860 and 1900
II is safe to assume, says the report, 'nat
from 1860 until July 1871, the people oi
this CITY have been robbed to the e1'en'
Of $4,000 900 at least. The amount re-
