We learn that Jesse James was
once sincere christian. and joined
the Baptist church in Kearney in 1866.
For q year he held true. In 1870 he
was prayed for by a sister, since mar.
ried, but once Susie James, in a pray
err whose touching appeals are still re-
membered. But the erring brother
was past praying for. 1t is something.
however, in the career of this man that
he was once young. generous, hearted
and Beloved by the community in
which he lived.

the Warsaw Times, S. w. Smith, was
candidate, and one hundred and
thirty-fve votes were cast for him As .
personal compliment, and as a recog-
milton of his value as a citizen, by
those among whom he had lived for
twenty years. In other particulars
the election was an exciting one. But
in the case Of the gentleman mention
ed, all parties seem to have united for
the purpose of paving a delicate and
deserved compliment to an old citizen.
Whereupon Mr.. Smith expresses
himself. editorially, as follows:
Whether it be regarded in the light
of an approval of past official course
satisfaction with journalistic labors, or
as an endorsement of private charac-
ter, it is a proof Of the kindly feeling
of those with whom nearly two de-
cades of our past life have been spent,
as we'll as of the respect and confidence
of those whose acquaintance with Us
is of more recen. date. 1t is only
necessary to add that we are profound
ly grateful; that We shall always re-
member, and strive in all suitable
ways to deserve such kindness and
confidence, and that we shall consider
no pains too great ia trying to per-
form our official duties to the best OF
our ability, and to the best advantage
of the entire community. Acting as
the representative of the in
dustrial interests of that community.
it will be Our pride to become animal.
ed with Jealous purpose that shall
reflect the highest good on the greatest
number, and be most conducive to
harmonious action for that end. And
in this we feel assured of the hearty
support Of every citizen who respects
the laws and is DESTROYS of preserving
peace in the corporation.
The above manly declaration will
serve to increase the friends of Mr..
Smith, both in and out of Warsaw.

The Chicago Tribune thinks that
the most significant feature of this whole
Jesse James business is the nature of
the community in which the man
lived. And thereupon We have a
very edifying description Of the char

we are. We hear nothing in the arti-
Gle, however, of the knucks, thimble
riggers, key-hole Jumpers and bunko
steerers among whom the average
Chicagoan is compelled to live day

Whatever may be thought of Sam
Tilden. he is somewhat like another
prominent politician in so far that.
with all that has been said about
him, nobody has yet called him a fool.
The following extract from his late
Jefferson letter sounds like the voice
of the Father of Democracy from the
other shore:
In the period when there seems to
be little respect for the limitations of
power prescribed by our written CON-
stitution; when assumptions Of un-
granted authority are rife in all the
departments of the federal govern
ment when that government is being
gradually changed into an elective
despolism, meddling in everything be-
longing to the state or to individuals /;
when every new assumption Of un-
granted power creates new opportu-
mites, new facilities, and new incen-
tives to favoritism and jobbery; when
the civil service has been converted
into balance of power to determine
the elections by pecuniary and other
illegitimate influences; when the per-
version Of high trusts to the private
gain of the official is frequently COM
mitted with apparent Inconsistencies
of wrong, and passes almost without
rebuke, it is time that the teachings
and the example of Thomas Jefferson
be invoked to keep alive the glimmer-
ing spark of official virtue and pub
lie honor.

A good many years ago a cashier
took a little lad from a neighboring
poorhouse, and when the boy had be-
come a youth he was given a RESPONSE
BILE position in the bank of which his
patron was practically the head. Later
the cashier stole more than SIS, 000
from the bank. Exposure was threat
ened every day, and the guilty officer,
in a period of depression, confessed to
the youth that he proposed to kill him
self. Young Ray. the protege, was
smitten with horror, as he thought of
the terrible turn in affairs, but having
weighed the matter the next day he
threw himself into the breach. He
suggested, and the cashier eagerly ac-
cepted the suggesti on, that he should
fasten the guilt upon himself and alb
scond, thus leaving his patron honest
in the worlds eyes, though blackened
in his own. What the public heard of
the Westport robbery was that a bank
clerk named Ray had stolen S15, 900.
Detectives found several clues, but not
until years afterwards was the secret
disclosed. One of the detectives who
had been employed in the case came up
with Ray under still more romantic
circumstances. The detective, accord
ing to his "reminiscences published last
week in a San Francisco paper, was

was one Henry Martin. AS soon ; 5
the detective saw Martin the former
said: "You are Dallas Ray, who rob-
bed the Westport bank" Ray then
told the true story of the robbery, and
the story has been verified since. Ray
claimed that he was Innocent of the
gold eagle burglary and asked the de-
tective to take a note to his sweetheart,
a Miss Morse. When the latter heard
of her lovers predicament she threw
her whole soul into obtaining proof of
his innocence. She went to the house
where the robbery had been committed.
Having asked if the burglar had left
anything in his flight, she was given a
handkerchief That had been dropped by
the intruder. She put the handkerchief
to her nose and exclaimed Find the
thief who uses this perfume (naming

THE DUKE OF WELLINGToN.-The
English General who stood first without
a rival was the Duke of Wellington.
He was probably the greatest man that
ever was sincerely content to serve.
During his so years of conspicuous pub
lie life he accepted every opportunity of
serving the state as naturally as a horse
takes food, and he conformed to all law
and all social obligation just as if he
had no self-love. He never set up for
a stateman, but in giving counsel and
ingetting things done he surpassed those
Englishmen and those foreigners who
madeit their business to frame and
execute a policy. If he had been en-
thusiastic, he could not have been more
daring; if he had been trained in philo-
sopby, he could hardly have been more
judicious. So far from being an en-
thusiast or a philosopher; he was sub:
stantially a man of pleasure, and he
was not without hardness of heart. 1t
cost him no effort to be perfectly truth
full, although he could not always so
completely rule his tongue or his pen
as not to scold or scott a little more
than he intended. Though not a pro-
fessor of friendship, he was attached to
his like-minded master in politics, Lord
Castlereagh; and when the meeting of
Parliament compelled the First Com
moner to go to home, he took his place
at Vienna Just as n partner succeeds
another in trading.-A Guide to

WASHINGTON, April S.-The testimony of

was led to believe all along that the State
Department was working cordially with
him in behalf of his claim. He repeated
the alleged conversation with Secretary
Blaine, going to show, as he said, that
Blaine was in sympathy with him. He re-
repeated the statement OF Senator Blair, his
counsel to the effect that the State Depart
ment was all right. He said Mr.. Blair as
sured him he could stake his life that the
State Department was all right, and that
he supposed MessrS. Blaine and Hurlbut
were actively cooperating with him, but
some time ago he began to suspect they
were playing him false. Mr.. Shipherd pro-
duced no document of evidence of the al
legged talks with Mr.. Blaine, and it all rests

said.

Special Dispatch 70 TIE Register.
W,~HINcTON. April 9-Two ridiculous
statements are reported IN connection with
the recent lecture OF the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. at Washington. One OF them is
the statement of the Rev. Henry Ward
himself, used in illustration Of the
proposition that good wages do not
always imply comfortable and thrifty
living. and was to the effect that the
nailers in Wheeling nail mills make from
forty to eighty dollars per week, and
spree the amount away between Satur-
day and Monday. The other was cor
rection printed in a local newspaper
setting forth that the Brooklyn orator was
mistaken i'm his assertion concerning the
weekly wages Of Wheeling nailers. because
all the mills in Wheeling were run on the
90 operative plan. and the employees
only drew ensu ;h weekly to supply actual
necessities. The explanation Of both the
original statement and the correction IS
the same as that of the juvenile story of
the little boy who said his own father was
o relation to him. yiz-the boy lied; but
the carelcSsneSs and lack of veracity on the
art Of Mr.. Beecher is the more culpable,
