For days upon days, says Lake

distance of ten yards, when seated on n
flying buck board, a marked resemb-

When the doctor rode forth along
Kcenc Valley the guests at the hotels
and boarding-houses came out and
chCered him. Teams were hurricdly
hitched up and Il pursuit begun. The
TACT that the President had passed on II
buck board was telcgraphcd ON to
North Elba and Lake Placid. At the
former place the boardcrs stood out on
the piazza and waved the American
flag. At Lake Placid the landlord
came ahead of Il deputation of dead

tor, who is modest, atfable man, was
delighted, though somewhat abashcl,
by the demonstration. Presently the
long string of teams that had started in
the doctors wake came in sight,
drivers and passengers waving green
boughs. Upon be addressed rs NV
President" the doctor blushcd to his
shirt collar, looked at the group be

THE president of "a New York bank, in
speaking Of defaulter Scott, Of the Manhattan,
says that after an experience of thirty five
years as bank officer and clerk he could de-
clare that there was no absolute protection
for any bank against paying teller's dishon-
esty. If the teller was chained to his desk
every evening before he left the bank and
his clothes were searched by the directors, he
might then have already transferred stolen
money to a confederate outside" This being
the case, it seems clear that each board of di-

WILL Mr.. E. B. Thomas, of the Decline,
be kind enough to say whether the financial
condition of the railroads centering in Indian
apolis has so greatly changed within the past
sixty days that it is impossible now to even
think of carrying out solemn moral
contracts entered into between the
roads and the people and the Legislature
Of the State at that time? When the bill
was pending before the Legislature the rail
road authorities caused it to be understood
that if the measure passed work would be be-
gun upon the building at once. Plans and
specifications had been agreed upon; the ele-
vations of the proposed depot were published
in the city papers, and it was stated that ar
rangements had been made to obtain the
money on bonds of the Union association.

son why the enterprise has SO suddenly

We call attention to a communication else
where printed with reference to the recent
contracts let by the commissioners for certain
work connected with the new insane hospitals.
This is not the first time the charge has been
made that unjust discrimination has been
made by State boards against home enterprise
and home labor, but nothing so serious as what
is here stated has ever been alleged
Our communicate is entirely reliable, and
faith may be placed in what he gives as facts
so far as he knows them. That Indiana iron
manufactures rank with the best in the
country goes with the saying. At least, it is
not for Indiana officials to discriminate against
them. 1t is folly and nonsense to say that
Indiana cannot make as good boilers as can
be made in New York, or as good pumps can
not be furnished by Indiana manufacturers as
can be procured at st. Louis. This is seri-
GUS matter in view Of the prostration of bust
ness and industry. The workingmen of In
diana, and the public generally, will not qui
city see the taxes raised off local
property sent out of the State to buy
what could as well have been obtained at
home. The commissioners will have to be
able to show very good reasons for this dis
elimination No technicality in the bids nor
any trfing advantage will avail as a defense.
There should have been some very strong and

AN honest confession is good for the soul.
The Boston Herald is the first of the mug
wump papers to admit what everybody knew
long ago, but which they, one and all, hypo
critically denied. They, the independent
voters, are not disappointed, says the Herald,
because this has turned out to be Democratic
administration. ''They voted with their eyes
open to secure Democratic administration
They asked for nothing moro or less" Hav-
ing thus removed the pressure of assumed
superiority, the Boston organ will now fall
into the regular party procession without diff

the books, and ferret cut the frauds.
The books were turned over to them
and the vaults opened the accounts
were thoroughly examined, and the
cash counted, and the result shows
everything correct, except, perhaps"
two pennies. Thus, Democratic ex-
perts and accountants give the lie to
the charge of their Democratic
friends, that there were "cunningly
concealed frauds" in the Treasury.
How vivid the contrast between
this, and the state of sfiairs that ex-
listed when the Republicans came
into power. Then, they found that
the Treasury had been systematic
ally robbed by "Jake" Thompson
the Democratic Treasurer, whose
death, a few weeks since, this Ad-
ministration marked with National
emblems of sorrow. Now, not a
trace of wrong-doing is found, after
twenty-four years of uninterrupted
power, during which the enormous
expenditures of the civil war, and
the funding of the tremendous pub.
lie debt occurred. Here is the tes-
timony from the mouths OF thelr
own witnesses, to prove beyond all
caviI, that for years the Democratic
leaders have persistently and sys'
tematically lied to the public.
