IRREGULAR OFFICIAL.
The Governor Removes the Auditor o
Sibley County.

Tho Governor Removes the Auditor of
Sibley County.
For some months past there have been
rumors of neglect of duty and Irregularities
in the management of the offices of the
treasurer and auditor of Sibley county.
When first brought to the attention of Gov.
Pillsbury the complaints were confined to
the treasurer's Office, who it was state. was
drinking pretty freely and neglecting his
business. Under the law creating the Office
of public examiner, that officer
was sent to Sibley county to examine
into the condition of the treasurer's Office.
The examination was made several months
since, and while the reports as to the person.
al habits of the treasurer were fully confirm
ed, his accounts we're found in good shape,
and so far as could be ascertained the county
had not suffered by him In the least. Under
these circumstances friends of the officer.
including his bondsmen, took the matter in
hand, and by pointing out to him
the Injury he was doing himself
by his course of conduct, secured from him
promise of reformation, which the Gov
ernor understands has been faithfully lived
up to. &
While examining the books of the treas
urer, Examiner Knox ascertained that the
auditor, Christian Didra, had largely over
drawn his salary. This discovery led to an
examination of that officers management of
his Office, resulting in the discovery that he
was leading a very Incorporate life and con-
Quoting the duties of his Office in loose and
unbusinesslike manner. This investigation
was commenced in May last, and has been
held over Mr.. Didra ever since in the hope
that he might be brought to reform his
course oflife, as in the case of the treasurer.
10 this end his friends have labored faith
fully. and Mr.. Didra has m lde frequent and
profuse promises to that end, and begging
the indulgence of the Governor that disgrace
might not be brought upon his family
through his weakness. The Governor hest
tated until yesterday, when the promises
of Mr.. Didra not being fulfilled, the Cover
nor. under authority of the public examiner
act, and upon the application of the commits
sloners of Sibley county, issued his order
suspending Mr.. Didra from his Office.
The specific charges against Mr.. Didra
upon which this severe course has been taken
IS neglect of duty, and systematic overdraw-
ing of his salary, the sum so overdrawn ag
gregating to March first last $1,121.6O. No
part of this sum, it is understood, has been
returned since the investigation has been in
progress, but rather it has been increased.
It was also found by the investigation that
MIR. Didra's bond was interlined, dsfgured,
and of very doubtful legality. This Mr..
Dldra promised to repair by giving new
bond, but failed as with his other promise s,
and hence the action above stated.

Good Request at Steady Prices-Indica-
tions of an Advance.
LONDON, July 1.-The Mark Lane Enpress in
is review of the British corn trade for the past
week says wheat is running to straw and COM
ing into ear very slow. All low lying lands
have suffered grievously lately. Large tracts
were submerged. Spring corn is sickly and
weak. Iu fact, the situation is become seri-
GUS, as should storms occur later there is every
probability of cereal crops being irretrievably
damaged. Bright sunshine and rising barome-
ter to-day seem, however. to foretell a more
seasonable spell. Reports Of the Scotch root
crops are disastrous. A large area in the mid
land and higher districts is still unsown, and
many fields are so severely injured as to need
resolving, although the improvement
in prices in consequence of the in
clemency of the weather is so far
more apparent in the provinces than in Lon
don. Appearances now that farmers reserves
of homegrown wheat are becoming sensibly re-
duced, are decidedly in favor of a mat erial adj
vance. Arrivals of foreign wheat at Liverpool
and London lately have been very large. Last
weeks Liverpool arrivals amounted to $4,000
Quarters. Millers bought sparingly, hut there
was no quotable decline Considering the con-
sumptive requirements of the country, the de

THE YELLOW FEVER:

No Repetition Of the Epidemic Enpected
this Summer.
High medical authority, including men,
bers of the national board of health, who
have given the matter constant and careful
attention, and who are fully informed by
medical experts travelling in the South, are
of the opinion that the Southern States are
to escape visitation of the fever this sum
mer. In the early spring there was great
deal of alarm here about it, more than has
got into the papers, but this feeling has given
way to the opposite extreme, and now the
chances are considered altogether against
renewal of last years visitation. Had the
spring months been fashioned purposelv
to bring out the hidden fever poison in
the Soulful there is such to bring out
they could hardly have been better adapted
to the purpose, rs they we're essentially trop-
ical spring months-hot and dry-the very
atmospheric conditions that bring out the
fever in tropical chimes, when there is any to
bring out. This is regarded as evidence that
the disease is not, any more than it ever has
been demonstrated" in the United States,
and that we are not to have it this summer
or any other summer unless it is reintro-
duced from the tropics, and that it can be
kept out of this country entirely by proper
system of quarantine, such as the national
board of health are putting in force this year.
The visitation last year was owing to inn
portation of the poison at New Orleans, and
unless there is a'fresh importation, fear Of
q renewal Of the fever is very slight, from
the fact that, even if the poison of last year
has kept over" it will not cause an cpl
demic, although it may be we'll marked and
perhaps fatal in a few individual cases.
The visitation of last year is considered
the ''high-water mark of the disease in
this country, and many eminent medical
men here do not believe that it will again be
repeated in our time. That it should have
reached such high altitude as Gallipolis, O.,
and Chattanooga, Tenn, is considered
evidence of Its exceptional ferocity
and strength of resisting what
has heretofore been natural barriers. These,
however, were the highest points reached
by the plague last year. the two places being
almost identically the same in altitude
above the sea level. Chat .nooga and Gal
lipolis were the "high water marks reached
by the disease. being the first time in the
United States that the fever was epidemic at
an altitude of over 500 feet above the sea
These two young cities are about 655 feet
above the level, and Chattanooga is surround
ed by mountains from 900 to 1,5OO feet
higher, which is considered still more un-
favorable to the spread of the disease, as
Yellow Jack never climbs mountains.

MR, HAYES, LAST VETO

Mr.. Hayes, so it is said, has abandoned
his intention of calling an extra session of
Congress in order to provide sustenance for
United States marshals for the present fiscal
year. He felicitates himself on the fact that
he has administered q lecture to Congress
which it will not soon forget, on the practice
of appropriating moneys without consulta-
ton with him. That purpose, he thinks,
should not obtain, but he considerably re-
linquishes his privilege, and will permit the
adjournment of Congress at such time as to
it may seem proper. .. ..
We hardly know whether to thank Mr..
Hayes for his condescension or to laugh at
him for his presumption. When this gov
eminent was established there was but one
recognized power-the legislative. 1t was
soon found expedent to establish two other
branches of authority-the executive and
the judicial. The first was intended to ex-
eoute the laws passed by Congress about
which there was no controversy the second
was to decide questions OF constitutional law
that might arise from disputes between citi-
Gems. Each was subordinate to the original
and executive power-the legislative. Con-
gres, from the time the government was
established, made the laws. It only remain
ed for the President to execute them and
for the judiciary to interpret them. For the
first time in our history the executive has
assumed legislative functions. To be sure
there have been Presidents who have vetoed
pernicious bills, but they have never assumed
. to dictate to the legislative branch of the
government as to the course it should pur.
sue. Mr.. Hayes has done SO, and in thai
act has asserted a prerogative obnoxious t.
the sense of the American people-the pre-
rogative of one-man government, which
in the emergency calls for rebuke. 1t i.
fortunate that the peoples Representatives
are in the majority, and that they have as
serted the principles SO essential to tn.

not credited with specifically designating any
