THE Milwaukee Sentinel is of the
opinion that in a large majority
of the cases of defalcation by county
treasurers, investigation discloses
the fact that the stealing has been
carried on through number of
years undiscovered until the expira-
ton of the term of the official, or
until the load of swag has become
so large that it cannot be any longer
carried in secret. The remedy for
this evil is simple one, and its
prevention, or recovery in case of
loss, equally easy. The responsible
ity should be placed where it be-
longs, upon the members of the
county board. They are the agents
of the people, and are supposed to
investigate the books of the county
officials each year. and if 10y their
negligence or inefliciency a treasurer
or clerk is enabled to embezzle the
public funds they should be made to
make good the loss. In addition to
this make county treasurers ineli-
gible to re- election, and loss would
be impossible to the people. In nine
cases out of ten Of defalcation the
thief has served several terms, and
the bondsmen cannot be held re-
sponsible because the time of the
theft cannot be determined. II
county boards were made liable for
losses during their administration
they would see to it that the books
and accounts were straight at the
end of the year.

ACCORDING to dispatches from
New York, America is taking hold
Of the international exhibition pro

on the world generally that the ami
versary of Washington's inaugura
ton, 1889, will be the occasion Of
celebration by exposition.

SOME anxiety is felt for the safety
of the vessel on which Angel, the
Pullman car thief, was being
brought to this country, as it is long
overdue. Perhaps Angel has stolen
the ship.

Chandler. The caucus was attended
by all the Republican members Of
both houses, numbering eighty>nine,
including one Greenbacker, who cast
his vote on the Republican side.
Mr.. Chandler has already filled, the
position with honor, and there is no
reason to doubt that he will be found
unchanged in devotion to his party
and the best interests Of his country.

Suppose the session to be of nine
weeks duration, and that the aver
age time each member is on duty
to be four days per week, (Which is
too high, as they almost invariably
adjourn from Friday till Monday
evening, and very few members are
present at each meeting during the
four days a week when sessions are
had,) and we find that a member
actually serves the State only SO
days for S490.00-nearly $14.00per
day. Following the figures Of the
statistical cuss" further, we find
that the average time in session du-
ring the day is only about FOUR
HOURS per day, but he ought not to
have mentioned that, as everybody
will see that it would be unreason-
able to ask the great intellectual
strain required Of a legislator to be
kept up for more than four hours in
twenty-tour.
A bill providing for reduction
on all railroad, tele graph and express
charges Of % per cent. from those
now in vogue, was promptly killed
in the Senate, as it ought to have
been, and as it was probably eX-
pected to be by its move; for while
it is probably true that these corpor-
atoms can afford to do business at
rates below the present, it is not be-
lieved by anybody that they could
stand a reduction of one-fourth on
all charges.
The interest bill of Judge Mills
still reposes in committee, and is il
danger of sleeping there till the
end of the session, unless the Judge
or some other friend Of the measure
punches it up.
a bill providing for the punish
ment OF tramps by Jogging is re-
ceiying much attention. The clause
relative to whipping has many strong
opponents, and seems likely to be
stricken out, if SO, the bill may as
we'll not be passed.
The death of Mr.. Frost-being
the third of the members elected to
this Legislature-casts gloom over
the Capitol. He was esteemed as

A FEW Southern papers are advo-
eating Senator WINDOWS colonial
ton scheme, as being the best thing
for both negroes and whites in the
South. They claim, very justly, that
so long as the negroes work in the
South there is a class of lazy whites
who subsist off the earnings
Of the former, and that the only way
to make these lazy whites self-sup
porting is to deprive them of the
benefits of the negro labor. If this
is the only reason advanced in favor
of tie new plan by the Southern
press, it would be better for that
section to keep the industrious ne
gro and transport the lazy whites
to some part of the country where
they would have to work or starve.
THE Inter Ocean pities the poor
afflicted and distressed brethren
who are writing in mental agony
over the march Of the stalwart Re
publicans into the Senate. Car
pointer was teasted, and they howled
with pain; preparations are made
10 receive Logan, and they have
been in a rage ever since the an
nouucemcnt. Soon the summer
months will be here, and Grant will
arrive by way Of Asia-according
to the Cincinnati Gazette - and
then the gripcs will take double
twist ON the internal administration
Of "eyeryMst ono' Of them, and
the most fearful results may be an
ticipated. In this age of discovery
it would seem rs if some patent
medicine should be found to reach
the cases of these wrecked and
abandoned brethren Of the press.
