CURIOUS COLLECTION.

| Police Officer Tom Mcnamara hailed an
EAGLE reporter on the corner Of Douglas
and Fourth avenues, Sunday evening, and
told him he had some letters he wanted him
TO read. He went TO a restaurant near by
and brought out paper sack filed with
plumber that had been found that morning
at the old elevator near the Santa Fe track.
He spread the plumber out on the sidewalk
letter within in the Danish language and at
the bottom was written in English, "Ad-
dress Blossburg, Colfax Co.. New Mexico.
There were shawl strap, bottle Of ink that
had never been opened, card Of watch
keys, several boxes of boot blacking. half a
dozen mouth organs, card of collar but
tons, a neck tie. a good leather pocKetbook.
torn up and few other trinkets. They
were evidently stolen but there is no clue.
Mr. Figg, who had the misfortune to have
one of his fine horses stolen few weeks ago
met with an additional misfortune Saturday
last in which he lost two fine horses by
death. George Morrison drove q CONNER
cial man out to Eldridge postoffice on that
day. While few miles this side Of st.
Marks on his return he noticed one Of the
horses commenced TO swell up and in few
minutes after unhitching it it died. He
procured another horse and returned home.
Soon after he returned the other one took
sick in the same way and died as suddenly.
This WAS the same team and same driver
who drove TO the Indian Nation after the
horse thief No explanation is given Of the
cause Of the death. but it is conceded that
the team was not over-driven.

MAGISTRATES COURT.

Joe Burgson, who left this city last April,
was arrested yesterday, charged with having
taken away with him watch and chain be-
longing to citizen of this city. The articles
were valued at $50. and which he became
possessed of by borrowing. His trial will
take place to-day.
Joseph BECKER was arrested yesterday,
charged with an assault and threatening to
assault citizen at Germania q few week.
ago, since which time he has been looked
for to answer IN this court.
Jake Egley and VIM. Freeman were two
jointists who came into court in answer to q
warrant charging them with keeping blind
tiger where divers citizens congregated to
peep at the animal. The court assessed the
usual fine of 500. and costs and thirty days
in the county Jail.
An unfortunate difficulty occurred at one
of the livery stables Of the city, the finale Of
which was SIS. fine assessed against one Of
the parties for an assault. All the parties
thereto appear to be reticient about the AZ
fair.
Last Saturday night as the reporter ar.
rived at the corner of Lawrence and Doug
las avenues on his way to church, he saw 9
coen coming east Oh Douglas avenue on 9
full run, followed by a large man. Nov
when the reporter sees one man running AZ
ter another he usually gives his sympathie,
to the foremost one as it generally happens
that the larger party is pursuing. There il
seldom any use in q large man running
away from a small one, especially in a CASE
like the present when large man was pur.
suing halfgrown coon. The large mar
cried out for the reporter TO stop that mar
but the reporter told the coon to pull fol
the alley, and when the large man came W
breathing like trotting horse quite crowd
gathered to hear him tell how that coon
had robbed him of O half dollar.

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY MARCH 8 lsea

the Fund Commissioners 81, 1885, ,237 70 foroei'
tain bonds purchased. The legislative invessi-
"a tors present figures from tho official records
of the New York Stock Exchange, showing tna1
the bonds purchased at the very highest rates
paid by anybody on the Exchange could nave
cost only So, 1873, ,613 70. In other words the
State has paid $151, 623 so for the bonds more
than their highest market price, and either the
firm of Kohn, Pepper g. Co. or the Commis.
sioners must have pocketed the difference. IL
ia stated that the instructions to the New iorR
firm were explicit, and authorized purchases
above the market rate within such limit tnat at
the price paid the bond would return 8 per cont
instead of 6 per cent. If the Commissioners
gave such instructions, and then never took any
mains to ascertain whether the condition OF tne
market had not made it possible to BUY the
bonds at much lower rate, they are Responsible
for negligence, and in any case somebody IS
RESPONSIBLE for the difference between the
market price of the bonds and the sum which
the State has paid.
The country is fast coming to the conclusion

certain. These calculations evince curious
ignorance of the effects Of public patronage In
these later days.
Beginning with Iowa, and assuming that
there NAV be several thousand officials from
that State to be appointed by President Cleve-
land. it ia clear that he will have to appoint
either Democrats exclusively, in disregard OF
his Civil Service theories, or Republicans and
Democrats unfortunately according to merit.
If the latter, he will retain the votes of the Re-
publcans who were led to believe In him as n
reformer, but will disgust all the Democrats,
except those who happen to get appointed, and
lose great many votes II he chooses the
former course he will please those Democrats
| who happen to be selected, but will offend the
much larger number who want Office but Will
not get it. Those selected will be all Demo-
Gratis whose votes will therefore not be gained
those offended will be partly Civil Service re-
| formers and partly Democratic aspirants, and
many of their votes will be lost. Any mathema-
tician would find it easier to square the circle
than to figure up possible gain of votes for the
Democratic party by any conceivable use of the
patronage under such circumstances.
Then. as to New YOck, Mess:s Manning and
| Whitney are gentlemen of certain local In
| fuence within the State, so long as they are not
officially recognized as bosses of the party.
The instant they become so recognized, jealousy
springs up, and the distribution OF such patron
age brings down curses on their heads, and they
inevitably become weaker than they were be-
fore. If they had power to help Mr.. Cleve-
| land as influential managers working more or
less in the dark for his interest, they will have
vastly less power TO help him as his publicly
recognized agents in the distribution OF the
| spoils. Mr.. Cleveland may not be sufficiently
experienced as politician to understand this,
but there are a great many in his party who DO,
and the suggestion is already heard that the
party is likely to be not united, but divided, by
the exclusive favor shown one faction OF it. AS
for the so-called Independents and Civil Service
Reformers, if they can stand Manning, they can
stand anything.

MORE MISSOURI Reform.

1t was Reform" with very large X, which
came into power, we believe, some years aio
with the defeat of the Republican party IN
Missouri. Democracy and Reform " was the
watchword, and the usual result has followed.
The world has heard great deal from that day
to this of Missouri bandits, and the high hOnors
paid to them; of Missouri rings, and their con-
troll of city governments; of Missouri pardons,
and the prices paid to pardon brokers and Of
other features of a reformatory character too
numerous to mention. Now 1t has O report of
legislative investigators, which shows that the
State has in some way been robbed to the extent
of $151 ,OOC during the last two years. in the
purchase of State bonds through its agents at
New-York The firm chosen as State fiscal
agents, Messrs. Kohn, Pepper g. Co., arr, not
charged by the report with any fraud OF impro-
priety. 1t is supposed that they have acted in
good faith upon the instructions given by the
Fund Commissioners, the late Governor, At
torney- General and State Auditor. If SO, the
responsibility for any improper conduct, or for
anv loss the State may have sustained, will rest
upon those officials.
The facts. however, are very simple The
State paid. according to the official report Of
