feared It is only short step from that point to
bor: II it be true that the Russian designs
against Germany, Of which Gen. Miliontine, the
Russian minister of val, is credited with being
the chief promoter, are only postponed until
France is ready, then fortldcation against =
peaceful neighbor may be regarded as = sure
preparation for future aggressive war with
Germany. Neither France nor Russia has ever
been attacked by Germany, and the colossal
armamentss of these two states, which by COM
pulsion weigh upon the rest Of Europe, can
therefore only be based upon IN aggressive
policy.

Ethiopian Exodus Evidence

Washington, March 1.-THE Senate Exo-
dus committee examined to-day H. b. Avery,
Of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, formerly edi-
tor of the Sea Coast Republican, and for sew
era years special agent Of ;hc Southern
claim, commission. Avery lived in In
DINA before the war, went 10 Mississippi IN
1865 and affiliated with the Democrat. there
until 1863, He testified that thecoIored eNo-
dU, grew out Of the feeling among the ne
grlos that their lives md property were not
safe in the South, while Republicans genor-
ally advised them 10 stay, believing that
the condition OF affairs would
improve and their rights would eventually
be protracted by the general Government.
Referring to the condition Of the negro in
the southern part of Georgia, he said thar
they were much worse of now than when
they were slaves. He had never seen else.
where sach evidence of squalor and poverty,
although he had visited the most degraded
parts of the large Northern cities. To sus-
thin his charges of intimidation and out
lawry on the part Of tlo whites, he read au
extrac. from the New Orleans Times with
regard to meeting of white citizens of
Pike county, Mississippi, in December, 1871,
and editorials from other Southern Demo-
cratic papers admitting and deprecating the
violence and lawlessness which prevailed.

Washington, March l7.-From having
been the sworn foe of the Treasury Depart
ment and its methods, Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, has become is friend and
champion. He has introduced bill relov-
ing the Treasurer of the United States of ac-
counts charged against him amounting to
over $4,000, 900. This is "A formidable charge
but it is easy of explanation. 1t embraces
what appears in the treasury statements as
unavailable resources" and includes the
$4,000, 600 loaned to the States in 1886, all
the money of the government that was seized
by the rebels at the mints sub-treasurica,
land.oilices, postotlices and government
repositories of every sort, ut the outbreak of
the war, and all the money that has been lost
by deG,lcaton and in other WAYS,
from 1926 to date, all the accounts of Gov
ernment officials that have never been settled,
and thousands of errors that have occurred in
the disbursement of money since the origin
Of the nation. These items all appear upon
the books of the Treasury MS ''resomces,"
but are OF rather Shaky character
Through exceedingly clumsy methods these
resources, so called, are carried along on the
books of the Treasury, and must be added
and subtractad day after day in order to show
the daily cash balances in the treasury
The object Of Senator Davis bill is not to
release any claim upon any delinquent. but
to relieve the Treasurer from the necessity Of
carrying these nj eyed resources in his books,
co the great annoyance of the office.

Kansas City, March l1.-Quite u sensation
was caused at Independence, Mo-, to-day, in
the trial of William Gossard for the murder
of Marshal Butcher, of Westport, June 10,
1879. The defence put in plea Of insanity,
but made weak case until, as an expert,
DR.. A. Mcfarland, Superintendent of the
Illinois Insane asylum, was introduced The
murder has been the cause of intense feeling
here, md was one of the most cold-booded
imaginable. Gossard was y telegraph ope-
rator nj the Coates house. and had n
quarrel with the town marshal of West
port two weeks before the murder, and
from that time he began TO brood over it,
until the fatal Sunday he hired n buggy, went
out TO Westport, called the Marshal out, and
shot him dead in front of hir terror-stficken
family. DIR. McFarlands testimony was rs
| follows
81 was superintendent Of the Illinois asy-
lum from 1851 10 1870, In 1856 Mrs. Matilda
Gossard, the mother Of the defendant, was
admitted, July o. Ter type of insanity was
! suicidal and homocidal mania | have heard
all the evidence, and there is no room for
doubt in my mind that on June Is, 1879, the
defendant was insane. His is case OF her
editary insanity, liable to be transmitted
through several generations, and is Of the
Same type as his mothers'
This seems To have an effect on the Jury,
and will perhaps afford loophole of escape
| for the murderer.

EnrInNrs SMimillch

Clinton, Iowa, March ll.-Another swim
die on farmers was developed hero to-day. In
February man giving his name rs 40 Hara
conferred with the President of the Clinton
National bank about discdunting notes. On
March 2, he bought thirty-eight notes, of the
ordinary promissory form, signed by farmers
residing in the southern part of the State,
Keokub, Washington, and other counties.
The President took the notes and sent tn m
by special messenger for investiga-
ton. A few days later he received
reports by mail and telegraph that the
notes were obtained by fraud, the farmers
having signed orders for groceries at whole
sale rates, leaving blank space above the
name, which the swindlers filled with u
printed note detached from the order.
Sheriff Adams, of Sigourney, also arrived,
and followed 0Hara TO Chicago Yester-
day, strangely enough, letters were received
here from Adams and 0Hsra, written on
the letter-head of the same hotel, one saying
he could not find O'Hara, the other asking
about the notes. Here the matter rests.
o'Hara may be able to explain, but probably
a big fraud has been frustrated.

what caused the loss Of the steamer Montana,
Of the Guion line, that went ashore on the
rocks in Church bay at three o'clock Friday
morning. The officers lost their bearings
md the first thing they knew the vessel WINS

either gross carclessncss or ignorance that

Hon. PHILLIP III. MORGAN, Of Louisiana,
American Minister to Mexico, throws very
wet blanket on Count De Lcssep's Panama
canal project He was the American MEM
Der of the Mixed Court in Egypt and in APP
pletons for April he gives the inside history
of the Suez canal, as learned by him while a
member of the Egyptian court. He says 1t
required no engineering skill to construct
the Suez canal. As soon as it was ascertained
that the wet sand would not cave, the prob
lem was solved and all that was to be don,
was to dig ditch from the Red to the Med
.terranean sea, which was done with
dredging machines, attr the Sultan
prohibited the Khedive of Egypt from the
further employment of Arabs on the work.
He saws further that Monsieur De Lesseps es-
timated the cost at 2OO0OO,OOO francs, when
in reality the work cost 475,000000 francs
more than twice as much as Monsieur De
Lesseps said II would cost. From his show
ing the Khedive was badly treated, in fact
swlndled out IF 100000 when per agree
ment he was not to pay cent. Captain
Eads estimates the cost of the Panama canal
at abou. double what Monsieur De Lesseps
does, and If Judge Morsan's report be cor
rec. De Lesssps is not to be relied on.

We are inclined to look with suspicion
upon all measures of political nature in
reduced in Congress by Senator Edmunds
because in the excess Of his stalwartism he is,
apt to do nothing that is not alone for the in
crest of the Republican party. That feature
of his bill for counting the electoral vote
which provides that each State shall decide
questions of controversy arising in connec'
ton with electors, strikes us, however, at first
6 lance, as good idea. We have not yet
given the matter sufficient study or inycstiga-
lion TO arrive at definite conclusion, and
until we do SO will give it only this passing
notice.
