JONES FOR TREASURER,

Senator Jones of Nevada, in giving
his views on the national finances at great
length to a Chicago interviewer, urges
that the entire surplus revenue, after
providing for all the necessary expenses
Of the Government, should be applied to
pay off the debt. Under the present
prosperous conditions the taxes are paid
without much difficulty and cannot, he
thinks, be said to be very burdensome.
He is, as We have heretofore stated, in
favor of a plan for buying up and re-
deeming the four per cents in advance of
maturity. The Senator's elaborate pre-
sentation Of his views would seem to
give color of probability to the report
that he is to be called, sooner or later,
to assume the portfolio of the Treasury
Department.

''That's How 1 Drifted Where L Am

The advance sheets of the twelfth annual
report OF Miss Jennie Collins of Boffin's
Bower, the Institution devoted to the well
fare of the working girls of Boston, has

not agree with the theories of political
economy expressed by Miss Collins, says

A BANK
The Paying Teller, of the Bank of
British North AIneri II in Il Hole
bunny sac Piects.

4 INhtFSCO L OSt.
Notwithstanding ali the checks and safe
guards that banks are supposed to have to
prevent dishonesty on the part of thelI
employees, and which are supposed to be SO
thorough as to Immediately lead to discov-
cry, another bank, the Bank of British
North America, has been swindled out of
5000, the robbery having been effected
months ago and remaining undiscovered
ever since. David Burt, the paying
teller, Is under arrest as the guilty
party. Last Wednesday, the inspect
or who, at intervals, examines the
condition OF all the branches of this
bank, happened in the city on one of his
tours. In counting the stacks of double
eagles IN two trays, supposed to contain
S20 900 each, he discovered that they were
each 81, O00 short, and that the stacks had
been built up on checkers and half-dollars
glued together. Word was sent to Chief
Crowley, who detailed a detective,
who learned the following facts:
About nine months ago Burt had
George Neil, the banks messenger, pur-
chase two sets of checkers for him, osten-
sibly to send in the country. Three
months ago Burt was temporarily assigned
to a new department in the bank.
Before leaving his desk he instruct-
cd his successor pro tenn. not
to pay out any coin from the
doctured trays, giving, as a reason, that
they contained worn gold, while customers
wanted new coin. His successor respected
his wishes, and the deficit might not have
been discovered for some time had it not
been for the inspectors visit. 1T is alleged
that Burt has a large losing account with
Sanderson Il Cook, stockholders, and that
he has lavished much money upon the
demi-monde. The accused is a Scotch
man, aged thirty-fve, and came here five
years ago from Canada, where he held a
position in a branch Of the same bank.
The bank exacts bonds from its employees,
and, as Burt's is for $4,000, it will lose
nothing, if he is convicted OF the theft.

TBRrE GREAT tE%pERs.

When the Administration surveys its
Southern Jewels it must find no small
amount of difficulty to decide which gem
in the unique collection is most worthy
of its admiration.
In a competitive test for the favor of
the Administration there are three dis
tinguished ~Southerners who have already
distanccd every rival in their respective
States. Which OF these three has the
strongest hold on the respect and conf
dence of the Administration, and which
is most heartily detested by nine-tenths
of the men who voted for Garfield and
Arthur, we have no means OF determin-
ing.
Colonel Cash of South Carolina, Gen
eral Malone of Virginia and General
Chalmers Of Mississippi constitute the
delectable trio. With these three men
the Administration clasps hands in fra
ternal amity; with these it joins IN
waging war on Southern Republicans.
who have too much manhood and de-
cency to enter d coalition temple, at the
portals of which they must bid a final
adieu to self respect.
Col. E. B. Cash is the man who, two
or three years ago, deliberately and most
persistently provoked a duel with Mr.,
Sbop,op o,J l-,1I.l ~, ,,Jor s,ob nir-
cumstances that nearly all disciples of
the code accused him of ~cold-blooded
murder. He escaped deserved hanging,
but the charge of the Judge who presid-
ed at the trial put the brand OF Cain on
him and burned it in. This is the gal
liant South Carolinian" who, under the
special favor and patronage of the Adj
ministration, is making a race for Con-
gress.
Mahene's connection with the code
has been less CORY than that of Cash, but
the Nirginian is as much of an adept in
the tissue ballot as his South Carolina
rival for Administration favor. And
then it is to be remembered that Cash
cannot boast Of having repudiated Sl3,-
600, 200 of a State debt after declaring
that the Sl3, 900, 900 were honestly due
to the State creditors. This is the pe-
culiar glory and exclusive honor of Ma
hone.
As to Chalmers, he, too, has been out
on the field of honor" within a few
days, but there was no blood spilled.
Evidently he did not want to kill or be
killed. But if Chalmers cannot boast of
having provoked an old man into a duel
and killing him, and if Chalmers has not
been crowned with the glory of repudi-
ating $l3, 600, 900 of State debt, he can
put his competitors to the blush by
presenting thousands of columns of fervid
rhetoric, in Republican papers, in which
he figures as the hero of the Fort Pillow
massacre" the champion bulldozer of
the Mississippi Valley" and the 'thief
Of the Shoestring District"
Gentlemen of the Republican party,
these are the selected leaders OF the Ad-
mlnistration movement against the uu-
compromising Republicans of the South.
Here is the trio-,Cash, Malone, Chal-
mers, How do you like them? Ought
not the Administration to be proud Of
its new allies?
