The Treasury statement for yesterday threw no
light upon the strange changes of the previous day
as the variations this time wholly unim-
portant The Treasury officials state that they can
see no cause for the great decrease in gold certi-
Gates except that certificates have been delivered
up ana gold drawn for them. But that " Ould i'll
vove a decrease in gold held equal to the decrease
in certificates outstanding The decrease in certit-
Gates was 1890, 800 from Monday to Tuesday
and the decrease in gold held only 81, 74S, 796.
Hence gold must have been paid in exceeding by
S. G47, 5G4 in day the entire amount paid out for
expenses, if the returns correctly represent the
actual changes. Now. the receipts reported for the
day were Customs, 1913, 647; internal revenue.
1900 533. Receipts of 81 10000 in day would
be marvellous; receipts of that amount IN excess OF
PAYMENTS would he still more marvellous. Appar-
emily the Treasury statements of amounts of cash
held and notes outstanding are not exactly what
they purport TO be.
The man who caught the bear by the ears in de-
scribing the encounter said that he couldn't make
up his mind which was the more dangerous, TO let
90 OF to hold on. Mr.. Morrison is in position to
spmpathze with that man.
The House Judiciary Committee has decided
almost unanimously to report adversely upon the
McGarrahan claim. 1t is stated that the commit
fee has been moved to this conclusion by the evil
dcpcc showing that Gomez, from whom McGarra-
han claims to derive title, never had any himself.
The decision of the United States Supreme Court TO
the same effect probably also had its influence but
the truth il that no serious Investigation of the
claim from the beginning until now has ever re-
shifted in other than an adverse verdict aud the one
snecaly remarkable feature about the case is that
il sLoud be possible for claimant who has over
and over again been decided TO have no standing
whatever, to harass and worry Congressional Com
mitces session after session and literally to refuse
10 accept the rulingof any court against him. As
we have remarked before. an end ought to be- put
70 this mcXcusablc waste of public time, and the
power to declare the McGarrahan case euded ought
10 b lodi gcd somewhere. As it is the claimant seems
10 regard Congress as kind of lottery III which. II
ne keep. on gambling long enough, lac may find
committee that Will give him a prize. But the
matter has become public scandal, and should be
stopped.
Osman Digma's declaration that he il determined
10 drink the blood oi the Turks and THEN allie, Is
said to have exasprrtcd the British soldiers, who
do not mind being killed. but object strongly to fur
nshing beverages for their opponents They do not
understand that Osman Dlgmas sanguiuary eX-
preston is simply Oriental hypcrboe, and means
neither more nor les, than that he is resolved to
light. Moreover not having had any experience

DID GU1TE4U NAVE ACCoMPLICESf

DID GUITE1U HAVE ACCONPLICESf
The Star Route investigation, oddly enough,
has taken somewhat the turn of an inyestiga-
ton into the possibility that Guiteau had ac-
COMPLIES in his Infamous crime. Mr.. James OK
pressed the opinion that Guitcau was influenced
by the newspaper clamor instigatcd by the Star
Route defendants, and there is undoubtedly
truth in this. The abest experts in the cOun-
try, and jury, declared Guiteau to be sane, and
thismust ever be the Judgment OF those who make
careful study of this extraordinary case but the
fact remains that the asSassin's mind was I'M
doubleday stimulated and strengthened in Its
purpose by the howings of the stan Route news
papers. which he read every day and clippings
from which he carefully preserved Since Mr.
James testified however, Colonel Cook, one Of
the discharged Star Route counsel, has sought
to make q sensation ont Of declarations that
evidence he offered to the prosecution that
Guitcau probably had accOmpliccs was never
followed up.
We do not believe the Colonel will startlc the
country. lie labors under the disadvantage, to
begin with of being known to be intensely hos
tile 70 Colonel Corkhill and the Government
generally. But the best proof that Gutcau
had no accOmpliccs was the fact that he
never betrayed them. The miserable wretch
would have sold his soul for an hours delay in
his execution And it is to be said, in behalf of
the men whose bitterness toward Garfield
helped to steady Guitcau's iiendish purpose, that
if they could have known it, they would have
been the first to stay his hand.

Mr.. GL4DSToNES REFORH BILL.

Mr.. Gladstoncs speech on the new Franchise
Bill was one of the greatest of his oratorical
achievements. In analytical power, intellectual
vigor and acumcn, and rhetorical finish it
greatly surpassed his speech on the vote OF cen
sure. which to the eye was crude and
illogical, although spoken Of by those
who heard it as ingenious and forcible.
The full text of the Franchise speech, which the
foreign mails have supplied, ought to satisfy the
most cxactng critic. IT is masterpiece not 50
much Of dialectic skill as Of political exposition.
The same genius which has so many times made
the statistics OF a Budget speech pictorial, is

if the Representatives choose TO disreearo
plainly expressed opinions OF the voters
their defeat at the next election Will De on
their own heads.
A brief outline of the report of the Special
Assembly Investigating Committee Ill our Al
bany dispatches will be read with interest by
politicians and taxpayers Among the bilis
which will be submitted to the Assembly as
the outcome of the Investigations are mum
Der directed against abuses i'll regard 10
fees in the County Clerks, the Registers ana
the Sheriff's Offices This result was expected
OF course, for the abolition of fees IN theSe
Offices, at least In large part, was one OF thc
plainest lessons of the Roosevelt inquiries
Members of both Houses of the Legislature
will now see the propriety of pushing through
rapidly the important matters al present ""Uoi
consideration in order that the measures pre-,
sented by this committee may be properly anu
promptly acted upon.
The Hon. "Tim" Campbell, who declared re-
coDtlv in the Senate that NewYorll City was
simplv Paradise found" is probably more
easily pleased than the majority of the resi-
dents of the American Metropolis. But the
most Respondent taxpayers in tins city, we
think, will hardly admit that our condition Is
as black Sir Lepel Griffin has painted 1t III the
last number of The FOrtnightIy Reciew, Ill an ar
ticle entitled "The Harvest of Democracy" 1t
will be seen from the extracts from the article,
printed elsewhere in this impression. that TINS
amiablc Englishman can find no good thing III
us--no, not one. In his eyes nothing is COM
paratively bad; everything is superlatively
awful. Indeed, so strong is Sir Lepels
language that one is inclined to wonder what
he would have done if he had been sent to write
I'M Sodom and Gomorrah. He is as amusing IN
his way as the Hon. "Iim Campbell.
Captain Mares, Major Fielder and Captain
Markham have written to the Secretary OF the
Navy making suggestions regarding the CON
duct of the Greedy expedition Among other
points they believe it desirable that the region
between Cape York and LifebOat Coves should
be searched early in the season, that the coop
Grafton of the whaling vessels should be secured,
and that in any event the latter should be re-
ouestcd to kocp good lookout for the party
iou1nev1ng south in boats" This is in accord
with the TRIBUNE's suggestion that Congress
should offer "a bounty to the whalers for the dis
coycry of the Greedy party, and now that three
veteran Arctic explorers have Endorsed that
suggestion it is to be hoped that Congress VIII
act upon it, There can be no excuse for ne
glecting any opportunity in this matter and the
cooperation of the whalers, especially at the
beginning of the season, may be of the greatest
Importance. Such action, moreover, ought to
be taken at once. so that the owners OF the
whalers may be enabled to give special mstruc-
tons to their commanders before they set out
1t is not necessary that the bounty should be
large. but it should be sufficient to act as a
stimulus.

The Assemblymen viii have two important
bills before them to-day, upon which action
should be prompt and favorable. One of these
measures provides for the election Of the Con-
trOler of New York This is one of the cOrOl-
laries of the bill removing the confrmatory
power from the Board of Aldermen. The other
Is the High License bill, the passage of which
Will be a great gain for the temperance cause Of
this city. Doubtless the liquor dealers repre-
sentatlves will make a strong fight against it
but there ought 10 be enough common-sense
morality IN this Republican Assembly to defeat
men who would Like to see half a dozen grog-
shops in each city block.

Thompson and Fisher described as /" the most
desperate and widely known men in Texas" shot
each other dead in the theatre at San Antonio
The other night. They might easily have Sc
lected a more appropriate place for the purpose
but the people who scrambled ont of their way
will 10 doubt overlook this want Of considcra-
ton in view of the generally pleasing result of
the duel. If all the bad men" would follow
this example, and pair off and promptly cx-
terminate one another, it would be a happy
release for the country.

CALDWELL, Idado, May 30.-The town Is
In fever of excitement over the discovery
of some fabulously rich placer claims near
here on Snake river. There have been par
ties out all spring quietly prospecting and
locating claims on Snake river, which were
known to contain paying quantities Of -four
gold, but not enough TO create any excite
ment or activity. For several days the cur
ront Of Snake river has been making a
sweeping change and left the old channel
bare for several miles. On yesterday two
parties of men began to prospect the old
channel, and found the sands to be immense
ly rich with gold. Several nuggets were
found, and the washings went 80 to IS cents
to the pan. Several parties QUILTED to-day
for the new fields, which are only sixteen
miles from Caldwell. A stampede Is ex-
pected.

nal proceedings against President Riddle and

acy to defraud the bank, and placed the war
rants In the hands of detectives. Cashier
