Mr.. Folger and the Money Leeches.

New York Tribune.
Tres sury employees are full osstories about
Secretary Folger. One of them is about an
encounter he had not long ago with one of
the brokers who make it a business to ad-
vance government employees money at usu-
rious rate, which the needs of the borrower
often compel him to submit to for long
time A case is known where treasury
clerk paid $500 in interest on a debt of 800
before he shook the leech off 1t has been
the custom for clerks in such cases to give
the broker an order to the department tor
their pay, and Secretary Folger determined
to break up this practice, in
not be so completely in the power
of these men. He ordered that salaries
should be paid to the employees. One of the
brokers came in to the secretary's Office to
protest-cool, impudent and confident. The
secretary explained quietly why he had
made the rule. The man persisted that it
was unfair, and finally said pertly that he
had no right to do it. The secretary wheeled
around and faced him, white with anger. 81
have-the right, t,"-said he, speaking slowly
in the effort to control his anger-"to protect
the employes-of this department-agains
the rapacity of Shylocks!' This last was de-
livered with terrible emphasis. The man
got up and skunk out of the office without
another word.

THE municipal suffrage bill, giving women
the right to vote upon all questions relating
to town and city government, comes up in
the Massachusetts, Legislature to-day, and,
much to the astonishment even of the
friends of the measure stands chance OF
women who have labored for so many years
toward this end may not again be disap-
pointed. Massachusetts, is the State in which
the experiment of equal suffrage should be
made. In Wyoming and in States where
women have the right to vote upon school
questions the test has, for various reasons,
scarcely been a fair one. Massachusetts,
where the subject has been so thoroughly
canvassed that every female child is sup
posed to have an opinion upon it, and where
women are so largely in the majority, there
will be better opportunity for working of
the principle than could, perhaps, be found
elsewhere In no other State could there be
better chance for speedy showing of the
good results claimed by the advocates of the
cause. Commenting upon the proposed equal
suffrage law the Springfield Republican says:
"Some of the wealthy women of Boston
have been petitionng against it for fear
their elegant leisure will be ntruded upon
by the necessity of participating in politics.
They would probably be on the negative side
of the question whether life is worth living
at all, it is such bore"
The Republican is severe. 1t is not all of
life to vote, and there are women willing to
live and to forego the privilege of being
political factors-women with elegant leisure
and women without. Give the Boston
women credit for honest intentions if not
for good judgment.

THE disastrous failure of the Augustinian
Society of Lawrence Mass, following that
more disastrous one of Archbishop Purcell
of Cincinnati. involving liabilities in the
one case of half million of dollars and in
the other OF millions of dollars, should
serve to teach church authorities the lesson
that it is well for preachers and priests to
keep hands off financial affairs They
cannot serve God and Mammon without bad
results to one or the other, and possibly to
both The church has no call to do bank
2ng business or a loan and investment bust
ness, and it should not mix itself up with
either. When a church and preacher is
known to be dabbling in outside business the
rule is that they are regarded with disfaver
and suspicion, and it is a right rule and just
Judgment.

YALE professor has been making practical
use of his mathematical science in way some
of the students des pise. Certain students had
been making reckless use of firearms about the

Putting Her Foot on 1t for Luck.

The Mace-Slade gang of "sluggers' arrived
in Washington to-day at the Baltimore 4
Potomac railroad station. The first thing
that Mace inquired for was the spot where
Garfield was shot. He was conducted to the
ladies' waiting-room and shown the small
brass star which marks the place where the
late President received his death wound.
Reverently removing his hat, Mace looked at
the star for moment, then turning to his

According to Colonel Stewart he is an illiterate
DongOlisn, who can barely read and write, but
who has thoroughly studied tile Mohammedan
religion. He is head of an order OF Dervishes
and displays great executive ability in uniting
and governing the quarrelsome tribes of the
soudan. His following, according to Colonel
Stewards estimate, row reaches $500 tribes

insurrection amounted to about 5000 Egyptians
and 10000 rebels. 1t is probable these numbers
are greatly exaggerated.

NoTIC1NG the editorial in the Journal of
last Saturday. upon the conduct of the
Gougar-Mandler trial. the Lafayette Journal
of yesterday says:
with all of its care to be impartial in de-
failing the facts in the case, the Indianap-
oils Journal gathers bundle of idle news
paper gossip and uses it as text to criticise
Judge Gould"
The only reply necessary to be made to
this is, that there was not one word of news
paper gossip" or other kind of gossip" in
the extracts were questions by counsel and
answers by witnesses, and remarks made be-
tween counsel in the progress of the ex-
animation. If all this is not part of the
judicial proceedings, and not gossip"
then we fail to apprehend what is the
one and what is the other. The Lafayette
Journal acknowledges the justness of our
structures, and we heartily indorse its words,
as follow:
GA court OF justice is no place for buff
foonery and frivolous levity. Men go there
for justice. not for mockery, and if there is
any place Deuedln TIE SldTS WHICH SHOulu D6
kept holy and free from all reproach, that
place should be court where justice is done
between man and man. To those who enter
it, either to obtain justice to themselves or
to aid in the ends of justice, court should
be as shield OF triple brass. Whenever the
public mind is excited, whenever the drift
and swell of public opinion is in one direction,
the presiding judge should become severe in
his structures and terrible in his reproofs,
and attorneys should practice modesty, dig
Thity and temperance in speech"
If anybody has done this in the Cougar
Mandler trial it has been carefully omitted
from any of the reports. The criticism of
the indianapolis Journal were In the interest
of public respect for law and for courts
of justice, and not dictated by any feeling
for or against any of the parties concerned,
and in this we are joined by the Lafayette
Journal in the just and effective paragraph
we have quoted.

to stop the importation of American dollars?
Because possibly, one out of hundred

no reason why an embargo should be laid

SOME months ago, a wealthy citizen of Provi-
dence, R. l., made a will bequeathing $500,O00 to
daughter. Six days before his death, which
occurred recently, he made another will leaving
the bulk of his property to charitable institu-
tons and to his sons, allowing the daughter only
$4,000. She contests the will, alleging that
her father was not of sound mind when 1t was
written, aud making the remarkable statement
that he had forbidden the first will to be de-
stroyed, so that in the last failed the other
would hold good. If the old gentleman was try

found If the heirs will search for them.

PREPARE TO SHELTER YOUR
STOCK.

In this latitude, where the winters
are not SO cold and severe as in the
North and Northwest, some of our
farmers neglect to prepare warm COM
Portable shelter for their stock during
the cold winter and wet spring months.
There are two prime reasons why we
should shelter our stock. First: 1t is
to our interest pecuniarily ; it not only
costs less to feed, but the stock comes
out in better condition in the spring
either for farm work or grazing for
market. Without shelter it requires
much more feed, and when grass comes
it will take fully months grazing to
make up the loss in growth and condi-
ton in consequence of bad treatment.
Secondly: Humanity toward our
animals demands that we should pro-
vide for them food and shelter, When
we neglect to do this, and especially
when we fail TO shelter the COW that
gives us milk, and the horse and OK
that draw our pillow and wagon, we are
guilty Of the sin Of inhumanity to ami
mails and will be held strictly accounta-
BILE for such treatment. We may be
poor and not able to build as fine and
commodious barns and stables as our
neighbor, but none of us are too poor
to build shelter and provide food for
COW and horse. live are, we should
sell out or give to some one who would
take care of them and not starve and
freeze the poor animals to death. Now
is the time to prepare shelter, if not
already prepared. Barns and stables
should not be made and kept too close
and dark. They should be so con.
structed as to hayeplenty ofventilation
and light. During the warmer part Of
the day they should be opened and
freely aired. Plehtyof fresh air is es-
sential to the health of both man and
beast. These thoughts are suggested
with the hope that some of our readers
may profit thereby, and where shelter
has not been provided will at once be
attended to and not let the poor old
COW and horse stand out in the cold this
winter. 80.

boy, "but I'll never grow old enough
to assassinate an unarmed man who is
