camped several days ago with nearly
100000 of the company's funds, was

He went into Milwaukee store and
bought trunk and left a valise to be
put into the trunk and asked to have
it shipped to G. ii. Pachen, Detroit,
Mich. In putting the valise into the
trunk, the clerk dropped it and il

in the Pacific Express Co.'S labels, to
the extent of$S0,0J0. The next morn
ing he returned to the store to get

1t is contrary to the policy of
the Republican party to
nominate a man for PRESIDENT who
has been prominent candidate be-
forehand. Three out of fur of its
nominees since it came into power
bear out this assertion. Lincoln,
Hayes and Garfield, were all dark
horses. 1t is safe to conclude that
none of the active aspirants will get
it, and Blaine is showing his good
sense by posing as a "difident can
didate." Arthur, Logan and Sher'
man will "cut each others throats'
tefore the convention meets, and the
| ticket will lust about be Blaine and
Lincoln, or the "son of his father"
may even be given more prominen
place on the ticket and some dis
gruntlcd politician from New Yorl
be tackled Oh as "tail." We max,
no charge for these suggestions an(
ask no one to put faith in our predic

The tobacco warehouse of ID. X.
Mason, Louisville, failed last week
for $4,000. The Couricr-Journal
says editorially: "Mason secured his
tobacco patronage partly by the use
of the money loaned him by the
banks in an excess of confidence, and
partly by the trick Of doing business
for his customers at rates greatly be-
low the standard scale of charges in
this market. The latter device in
fluenced not only many farmers, but
also number Inexperienced city deal
ers, and these parties now have the
satisfaction of finding that while
they saved perhaps one per cent. i'll
selling their property, they have lost
in many cases 100 per cent. ofthe val
ne. They thus have new and i'm
pressive illustration of the "penny
wise and pound foolish" policy i'll
business, and many at least are not
likely soon to forget that in the end
it is the better part of wisdom to in
trust their business to well-established
& I'd responsible houses, operating IN
a standard scale of charges, in pref
erence to other concerns whose only
plea for business is that they work
cheaply and advance freely This
case is certainly forcible reminder
that there are other things more inn
portant than willingness to do bus
mess at rates lower than the respon
sible majority consider justified b!
the Legitimate risks and expenses in
separablc from it,"

The Arctic uarrnr.

The discoveries made by the exhumation
of the remains of Lieutenant Kislugbury
tears away all the screens and opens to the
view of the civilized world vista of hor-
rors that will make the strongest of men
shrink back appalled,. The question of
cannibalism is now settled beyond dispute,
but there is now presumption raised that
one of the darkest aud most horrible trag-
edies was enacted on the bleak aud ice-
bound point whore tho survivors were
found that dishgures the annals Of man. 1t
looks now as IL the little band of freezing
starving castaways had, by the stress of
their awful sufierings, broken up into war;
ring factions, the stakes of the struggling
factions being the lives ofone party or the
other, as fortune or fate might determine.
When the crisis came-when it was seen
by every man in the little band that some
must die in order that some might live
then jealousy, suspicion and sef-interest
rapidly eliminated in deadly hate aud
crafty murder.
These arc some of the pOssiJilities-nay,
probabilities, of the awful situation, as may
easily beseen without any very great strain
on the imagination. And in view OF what
is now known to be the truth, the Govern
ment owes it to itself to the fair fame Of
the living, and to the memory of the dead
that the dreadful secrets of this dark trag-
edy shall be dragged into the light of day,
so that Justice may be done to all con-
cerred. And, further, the Government
should now institute rigid and pitiless in
vestigation into the whole history of this
expedition SO that II any one has blundered,
or II any one has been neglectful or reck-
less or careless the responsibility shall be
put on the right shoulders, and the guilty
properly punished. Less than this the peo-
pie will not be satisfied with.

A FonI neseerntioni

Hdiper's Weekly, tue to the reputation
IL earned by defaming the immortal Lin
coin while he lived, resorts TO the foulest
means corrupt and debauched imagina-
tion could conceive fin order to shield its
candidate for President from the Inevitable
results of his indulgence in unbridled lust
and lechery. The case against its candi-
date Is 30 conclusive and 80 irrefutable that
the Weekly does not even attempt TO deny
IL, but tries to palliatc it by desecrating the
tombs of heroes and statesmen whose fame
has become n part of the heritage of our
common humanity. That we may not do
the Weekly injustice, THE CRITIC copies
the following paragraph in full
But Franklin and Hamilton and Jefferson
and Webster and Clay, and other eminent mon
still nearer our own time, were held by their
fellow.cltizens TO be worthy OF the highest
public responsibilities, although II was known
that their private lives had not been always
without stain.
Another Democratic paper, day or two
ago, dug up foul scandal on General
jackson, which had been buried out OF
sight with the common consent of all par
ties years ago, and tried to make Of 1t a
screen behind which could be hid Grover
Clevelands foul indulgence5 and ohenses
against common decency, so that we see the
tombs of Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson,
Jackson, Webster and Clay rifed and desc
Grated by these human ghouls, in order
that the funereal pals of these great men
may be used to cover the beastly deeds of
this man Cleveland-candidate for the
Presidency Of the United States by the
grace of Dan Manning and junta Of New
York spoils-hunters. In heavens name,
where is this thing to stop? Whose tombs
are to be ravished next? What dead hero
or statesman's good name is to be pilloried
next, in order that this man Cleveland may
escape the just punishment for his deeds ?
Can he only be defended by incriminating
tho living and the dead? If 80, then his
case is indeed a desperate one.

was tried in the Police Court this morning
for making a serious assault on Benny
Pope, 7-year.old while boy, Of 1909
Twentieth street, on tho 25th of last
month. The assault consisted in the
throwing of boiling water on tho boy. His
father, DIR. Pope, stated that his boy was
seriously scalded on the thighs, and was
confined to his bed for three weeks from
tho effects Of the scalding, which caused
pneumonia and an affection of the kidneys.
The evidence showed that the complainant
and several other little boys were annoying
the girl by poking sticks through the gate
at her. when she got mad and scalded tho
boy. Officer Stahl and tho mother Of tho
injured boy testified that tho girl admitted
the assault and said she would scald more
of them If they annoyed her.
The accused said she was left homo
alone with. several smaller children to do
some washing and the boys annoyed her
and threw stones at her and broke the
gate open and were coming in when sho
threw the water.
Judge Mills said that whatever right
persons had to protect their premises they
have no right to use such a weapon as this,
and he would impose fine of $25.
