ST. Louis, May 22.-Ex-Judge Chester II.
Krum left this city for Chicago on Thurs
day, April Goth, ostensibly to attend to
some law business. Since then it
has been reported by his father,
Judge John Krum, with whom he had a
law partnership, that he was very sick in
Chicago, and last week he stated his son
was at DIR. Hammond's, in New York, being
treated for some disease, land telegram from
New York to-day stated that DR.. Ham,
mond had no knowledge of Chester Krum.
Inquiries were then made at the residence
and OF his father at the office, but answers
were refused. 1t is further stated that Krum
ST., had acknowledged to Sheriff
Mason, whose legal adviser Krum, jr., is
that no one was cognizant of his sons
whereabouts. A few days ago the protho.
natorv issued citation in the estate of
Charles w Ford Of which Chester Krum
is administrator. He has failed to make
report to the court since July, 1882. He
also failed to report in the estate of ID. w.
Bell. The disappearance causes much
comment. He is one of the best-known
lawyers in st. Louis, a prominent
republican, was appointed United States
district attorney by President Grant, and
subsequently elected Judge Of the circuit
court here. He resigned, however, 10 act as
counsel for defendants In the celebrated
whiskey trials several years ago.
He was engaged In several important law
suits, 10 attend TO which his presence was
Absolutely necessary. There are ugly ru-
mors that he has lost playing poker, but of
this there is no evidence.

Small Talk About Men and Measures.
"Do you want TO know what makes 80
many people sick ~ asked tho doctor.
"That is right in my line. What is it2"
Sewer gas" was the crisp reply. at is
fashionable to lay everything TO tho malarial
flats, when in truth the flats have little 10 do
with IL. Poison enough pours from tho sew
ers to turn the whole city into a hospital, and
1t is marvel TO me that half tho population
Is not down with typhoid fever. The noxious
vapors arising from sewers Is the deadliest and
most insidious foe to man that we have to
contend with. There Is no reason why our
sewers should not be kept pure. They should
be flushed frequently and cleaned out thor
oughly, otherwise tho whole population is
liable TO become saturated with the health
destroying gases. The attention of the medi-
cal profession has been turned,to sewer gases
largely of late years, and volumes have been
written on tho subject, 1t Is something the
people ought to know about. They need in
struction.
r. q. Rathbone, the new chief Of the
special examination division Of the pension
office, is man with record. He has been
connected with the secret service bureau of
the Treasury department for nino years, and
for tho past several years he has been chief
operator Of the Cincinnati division, posi-
tion he resigned TO 60 into tho pension
office at a much smaller salary sim
ply because Of growing disgust for
detective work. "I have had nine years at
it," he said to n friend, "and have enough
more than enough. IL has always been dis
tasteful to ne, aud my dislike for the bust
ness has been intensifying Of late. have
been on tho point of quitting and engaging In
other business great many times, and now
that am out of it / feel as light as air.
never felt such sense of relief and freedom
as when notified tho department to-day of
my purpose to resign"
Rathbone has long been rank poison to the
counterfeiters of Ohio Indiana, and Ken
lucky, and during his term Of service he has
broken up several of tho most dangerous
gangs or "Coney mon " that ever infested the
country The arrest which gave him most
prominence was that of the celebrated Pete Nc
Cartney, who has been designated the King
of the Coniakers." Mccartney was feared by
the Treasury department moro than any other
living counterfeiter, and naturally the man
was instrumental in landing him behind the
bars came into prominence. Rathbone was a
very strong candidate for the position of chief
of the BUREAU, and had the undivided back
ing of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and In
diana. If he had obtained the place, it was
his purpose to have retired in year or two.
There was mover man in the secret service
employ who enjoyed tho respect and conf
dence Of judges, attorneys, and everybody
with whom he came in contact, in higher
degree than he.

1881 which speedily evaporated, was ridiou-
lous rump entitled TO no respect, and that It
would never accomplish It's plain object Of
being heard in the next national convention
in behalf of a contesting delegation. It was
not until the brilliant foreign policy" of
Mr., Blaine, Of getting into as much hot
water as possible, was supplemented by the
brilliant domestic policy of hitting political
head wherever IL could bo seen, unless II was
on tho shoulders Of honchman Of his, that
his organs substituted the anti Malone tune
which they have all been monotonously grind
ing out ever since. 1t was the price he had
to pay for The cooperation Of bourbon senator's.
He had TO borrow bourbon tomahawks with
which to secure republican scalps. In return
they demanded his weapons with which to
assail Malone The bargain was struck. 1T
was the only bargain made that year in con-
nection with Virginia politics. The unnat-
ural alliance can only be broken by bourbon
consent. They will not be in haste to agree
to a separation.
The masses Of the republican party should
not be deceived by the rivers Of falsehood and
abuse Of Malone which flow from tho jour
nalistic sewers, tho gates of which are con-
trolled by Mr.. Blaine. The sole question is,
Uheiher the democratic party shall or shal not
haze tho electoral vOte Of Virginia in 1884. Mr.,
BLAINE AND MS ORGANS SAY THEY SHALL
The open declaration Of Mr.. Blaine for tho
bourbon ticket last fall was in behalf of tho
ten bourbon candidates for congress. He
falsely designated the readjusters as "a wing
Of the democratic party" 1t would bo cred
liable to Mr.. Blaine II his relations with the
democratic party were known to be
as permanently unfriendly as Gen. Mahone's.
Whatever else may occur, the democratic
party will never have any support, aid, or
encouragement at the hands Of Malone. It
is because that fact is we'll known to the
democracy that their wrath toward him is SO
hot and unabated, and Mr.. Blaine, who seems
to be in their secrets, knows 1t as well as they
do.
The coalition committees in Virginia are
really but ono in thought and purpose. Yir.
ginia will cast her twelve electoral votes for
the republican candidate for president in 1884
il our national convention nominates can
didate who does not prefer Virginia bourbons
to their only antagonists, and treats the latter
as political friends and worthy associates.
The national convention will be compelled to
choose sides between the northern allies of
southern bourbons and the sincere friends of
equal rights, north and south.
If there is no objection to democracy In
Virginia, let its northern friends go over to
that party. If they could control national
republican convention, it would prove that
pirates had seized our political ship, whose
orders republican sailors would never obey.

Anti.Negro Republicans.

The republican party has an element which
has been trying to allow the negro to be re-
captured by his enemies ever since the end of
the civil war. They are like the priest and
Levite in tho parable, who pretended not to
SEQ the man who had been beaten and stripped
of his raiment by tho thieves of Jericho, and
so passed by on the other side. President
Johnson's policy was the first demonstration
of the kind. When his provisional state gov
ernments in the south, controlled by the un-
relenting enemies Of tho negro, were put in
peril by the military bill reported by the
joint committee on reconstruction, OF which
Senator Fessenden was chairman, in February,
1867, the BLAINE amendment was proposed as
a sort Of fender. Under this the johnson
governments would have been continued
with instructions to allow tho negroes to
vote, which would have been dead letter.
This amendment was voted down, Thad
Stevens characterlzing II as an effort TO " lead
us into tho sheepfold or goatfold Of Andrew
Johnson" While the republican party was
still engaged in efforts to protect
negro rights by force, then this anti-negro
element was found opposing force bills.
When by their conduct they had demoralzed
the north, and made the house democratic
for six years, the southern negroes sought
protection by an alliance with seceders from
the democratic party. At once their old
republican enemies reappeared, and are now
acting in democratic interests, by demanding
that the negroes shall refuse to affiliate with
any new friends.

Secretary Teller-has rendered decision in
which he draws distinction between set
tier who holds land under color OF title and
one who enters upon public land, and by in
closure and forcible holding, bids defiance
to settlers and to the government. In the
former case, whilo the title under which the
land is held may be invalid, the settler under
this decision will be protected from intruders
while endeavoring to secure valid title. But
in tho latter case where settler Is mere

session of lands without consideration or ex-
pectation of acquiring title, his claim cannot
