stealing From the State.

John w. Hide of Nashville, for
merly clerk In the comptroller's
office under both Gains and Nolan,
has been arrested on the charge of
forgery. In June, 1883, an account
was received at the ,comptroller's
office in favor of 81. w. Hinde,
jailor of Marshall comfy" with a
request to remit to the First Nat
ional Bank of Columbia. The &C.
count was properly signed by Judge
McLemore and Acknowledgement
RUSSELL and was sworn to before
"a. j. Carr Justice of the peace" OF
Marshall county. The account was
paid without suspicion. After this
Hinde's accounts Were sent to the
American National Bank, and pre-
sented by that institution to the
comptroller for payment, and were
honored. In this way 81 800 was
paid out before suspicious were
aroused. Soon after, Hinde's last ac-
count was paid, the comptroller
received an account from Sheriff
r. s. Walker of Marshall county,
embracing the entire term of
court. Walker is both sheriff
and jaiIer of Marshall county
and his account was totally differ
ent from that of Hinde's. These
facts were communicated TO the
governor who advised that the
matter be placed in the hands OF
detectives, which was done. After
some shreWd work on the part 81
the officers the fogery was traced to
Hide with the result above stated.
He claims that the charge cannot
| be sustained.

and promises good return for all the

earnestly hope that some @: our enter

in the matter and that it may be push

serves. The prime object of the expo
sition is to bring capital to the South

SOME Republican papers have face
ciously spoken OF the Democratic
Presidential ticket as the "Kanga-
roo ticket" alleging that it is bigger
behind than IN 'front.' This fact was
not evidenced by the speeches made
to the committee that waited on the
candidates and notified them of their
nominations. Cleveland's was the
best in substance and form, and that
can be said without disparaging the
address made by Mr.. Hendricks.

What It Means.
PulaSki Citizen.


Some profess to think the demo-
cratic tariff plank straddling. Here
is the enunciatory paragraph-the
corollary:
We therefore denounce the abuses Of the
existing tariff, and subject to the proceeding
iiInitatfons, we demand that federal taxa
ton shall be exclusively for public purpos-
es, and shall not exceed the needs OF gov
eminent economically administered.
Now go back into the preceding
sentences and see what those limi-
tations are:
/. Promote the healthy growth OF domes-
z. Regard for the labor and capital in
volved in those industries encouraged into
being by previous Legislation.
8. The process of tariff reform must be
subject.in the execution to the plain dictates
ofJustice.
depriving American labor of the ability TO
compete successfully with foreign labor,
and when the point is reached where 1t
affects wages the reduction must STOP
5. Bearing heaviest ON articles of luxury
and highest on articles of necessity, redu-
cling the list as far as possible.
Then comes the cOrollary. We
defy any man to say that is not all
of it. We defy any man to say he
cannot understand it without dis
paraging his own intelligence. We
defy any man to find the remotest
leaning towards free trade or pro-
lection per Sc. 1t means simply
this
Taxes shall beaimited to public needs OF
economical administration but SO laid rs To
promote the growth of domestic industries
| protect those called into being by previous
| tariff prot6cton, all changes to be regulated
affected, ample protection afforded to the
laborer and his wages, the burden to fail
upon Iuxuries.

Pioneer Press: The farmer Of Min
nesota and Dakota does not take
kindly to current market prices for
wheat. And no wonder. for when lie
has paid for harvesting and threshiug
ard elevator and transportation charg-
es, the share whsch remains to him
Of the price paid at Minneapolis, st.
Paul or Duluth is pretty small. But
there is some comfort in the reflection
that, after all, he is ln'neasely better
off than the Kansas farmer The price
paid ut Minneapolis or St. Paul for No
! hard is Is cents. at X tnsas City the
price for the highest grade Of at that
point is IS cents, which means about
40 cents to the farmer in Western
KANSAS Our North western farmers
get at least 80 per cent more for tneir
wheat than those Of Kansas.

Ledoux, Sept. 10 1854. aE
As the Sun man has fallen into the
schoo!boy habit of "calling Names
after having exhausted other resour-
ces, we will ask space for just one
more correspondence. Our time is
too fully and proitably invested {be-
sides we are ashamed of having en-
tered into combat with a person who.
though he may be- gentiemanly and
afable upon intimate. acquaintance,
certainly does not exhibit those quail
ties in his profession) to admit Of con
tinuing correspondence which
could not benefit the Sun editor more
than to give him another opportunity
to think of an additional! quantity of
law epithets to hurl at us through his
paper. {
AS for our defense Of that scandal,
if an uncharltable public and chari-
table newspaper man were obliged to
prove all their statements we are sure
that they would more than fail in
many cases. Next~"Birds Of a feather
etc" Are we better than he who gave
his life for sinners? What woman in.
Minnesota should the people point to
with pride if not to Mrs. Gen. Van
Cleve? How many erring ones she has
taken into her love and protection and
saved from irretrievable ruin would
that more women would extend to the
erring helping hand before they
have sinned away forever their day of
grace. The women Of this and gener-
alton are cruelty unjust to those of
their own sex. For viii they not,
(almost without exception,) excuse
those very sins in the sterner sex
which they condemn with the utmost
severity in their sisters?
Woman is often quoted as the
'weaker vessel" now carefully then
should her natural protector, man,
guard her from harm. We would not
say that because man sins it is right for
woman to do likewise--far from it
but we do say empbatically, Let them
both receive the same sentence. 1fhe
is received into respectable company,
then in the name of mercy do not con-
sign her to the lowest depths Of perdi~
ton. Make not her punishment too
heavy hncanSe she is A. woman
Hoping that our feeble plea for the
condemned will not too greatly agitate
our opponent, and that we will all live
