Dipree, also white, as an escaped con-
vict from the state prison at Busk,

his escape in April last

locked up Dupree asked if he could see
the man who informed on him. The
sheriff went out and found Cox. When
confronted with Dupree the latter at

convict, like himself. Dupree

THE death Of Secretary of the Treas
ury Folger has not been unexpected,
though the announcement Of that
event will cause some surprise to those
who wee not aware Of his critical
condition. AT the time OF his death
he was sixty.siX years Of age and was
becoming very feeble. He was CON
tinuously in Office from 1si 1 to the day
Of his death, being at that time one of
President Arthur's cabinet. His most
prominent appearance in politics was
as the Republican candidate for gov
eInor of New York in 1882, when, after
bitter campaign, he was beaten by
Grover Cleveland by 1872, 900 majority.

THE Houston Post commeuds the
probable decision of the land board to
defer leasing any more land until the
legislature meets and disposes Of the
question. This is n timely commenda-
ton aud will have good effect. Had
the Houston convention supplemented
its concession" by recommendation
OF like tenor to the land board no lit
tie uisapprehension would have been
saved and a great impetus to harmony
been given. A little revision OF states

What WIN He Do with To

The decision of the Republican state
convention TO make no nominations
for state officers leaves the field open
to Wash Jones. viii he take advar
tage of the opportunity to oppose tie
Democratic candidate with the back
ing that is now assigned to him OF Rt-
publicans, Greenbackers and that ele-
ment of Democrats who are now sup
posed to have n "grieyance."
Mr. Jones is nothing more than q
politician. He is an experienced and
an artful politician. The principle in
volved in making the race for governor
has no effect upon him, for there
is no principle. Hope of success
Is the only inducement to bring him
into the race, Whether as a candidate
of the Greenbaekers, or Republicans.
or Democrats, or of u faction OF all OF
them. the first and only question that
viii concern him is, What are the
chances of eleotion2 AS he answers
this question, so will his decision be.
He has been for months carefully
gauging public feeling, and is now in
a position TO say fairly what the
chances are in his favor II the result
of his measurement, of public senti-
ment has convinced him that he can
reasonably hope for success he will be

Civil Service spivelers -

'Snivel-servlce reform" some irrev-
erent old politician called the effort to
introduce business methods in politi.

the Republican party in evading the
civil service rules show them to be
tirst-class "snivelers.n The law So.
verely prohibits the levying Of assess
ments for campaign purposes on gov.
eminent employees, but that does not
prevent threatening letters being sent
to them 10y the Republican committees
which on the face suggest that "voluu.
tary contributions for the cause of the
grand old party" would be acceptable,
but between the lines carry sharp
hint that it viii be better Tor the future

ST. PAUL. MINI, Sept. 1.-The
Minnesota Elevator company of Red
Wing, organized about year ago
made an assignment yesterday. The
company owned between thirty and
forty elevators situated on the branches
of the Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
running east and west from Reid,e
Landing and Wabash respectively.
The liabilities are $4,000. Among
the stockholders are Gov. Hubbard
and state Senator j. G.. Lawrence. also
@. b. HOtchkiss and b. 5. Hurd of
Bridgeport, Conn, and w. j. Watts
of scranton, Pa The cause of the
failure is not definitely known. 1t is
rumored that the institution has been
caught on wheat deals. The news of
the assignment caused run on the
First National bank of Wabash.
which, it is understood, had discounted
some of the compauy's paper. The
bank suspended payment for few
hours, but later in the day resumed
and announced its ability to meet all
obligations promptly.
