The fact that crime in Texas is on the
Increase can partly be laid to the hesi-
fancy upon the part of officers to make
arrests unless there is a suitable reward
offered. A few days ago, the Lee
brothers, a couple Of bad men who had
committed murder made their appear
ance in Denison, armed with reyolvers
and Winchesters and walked around the
streets unmolested. When the City
Marshal was asked why he did not at
tempt their arrest, he gave as a reason
that there was not sufficient reward for
him to risk his life, and, In consequence,
these criminals were allowed to go their
way unmolested. The times have
changed wonderfully OF late. Men form
erly were elected to office with the I'M
piled belief and purpose that they would
do their duty at all times. But now the
question Of duty has changed to that of
reward, and II, in the opinion of the
officer, the reward is large enough, he
will attempt to do that which the people
elected him to do and expected him
TO do.

ARroros of the two men-of-war being
sent to New Orleans to carry oil the sill
yer, at present on deposit In the sub
treasury vaults in the oustom-house, an
official in that building in conversation
with States reporter on the subject,
said: Congress about two years ago
made an appropriation of some $4,000
for the purpose Of building two vaults
for the safe-keeping of Government
funds. one Of these was located at
Washington and the other in this city.
The one built here is the largest outside
OF Washington city, because New Orleans
is the largest distributing point in the
United States for the circulation of the
standard silver dollars. There are
sl7 ,OOO,OOO and upward on deposit in the
mint, and coinage is progressing at the
rate of ) l,OO00OOper month. In the sub
treasury there are Sl0,00O.000 which
occupies only about one-third of the large
vault. Besides this the daily vault Is
nearly empty and there are two large
vaults In the marble hall, which have "A
capacity of fully SlOOOO,OOO. Now, why
the Government should send two vessels
here to take the silver from the sub
treasury, and at time, too, when the
silver dollar is most needed, am at n
loss to conjecture. You see, there il
plenty of room for it, and the United
States mint carries larger sum to-day
than the sub-treasury."

WHERE MATTE CONE?
A Hotel Keeper Mt Muscatine Desires
some Information Which she
MDy Furnish.

j. J. Phillips, proprietor of the Cons
mercal hotel at Muscaiine, Iowa, was in
the city yesterday in search of young
woman by the name Of Matte L. Cone
who, he thinks can furnish him with cer-
tain information which will be of great
value to him. His story as nearly as can
be ascertained is this: A few weeks ago
one J. F. Burns, representing himself as
a travelling representative of the safe firm
of ] F. Carey & Co., Of Buffalo, N. Y,
stopped at Mr.. Phillips hotel in Musca-
tine and to the landlord unravclled pit
iful yarn. He was out of money and far
away from home aud he presented to the
landlord draft on the house he was in
the employ of, which Mr.. Phil
lips cashed. The next day Burns
left, and Mr. Phillips sent the
draft on to Buffalo, from whence it was
returned later with an accompanying let
ter stating that it was dishonored, from
the fact that Burns was no longer in the
employ of the house. and had not beer
for some time. But to the reason of MIR
Phillips desiring to find Matte L. Cone
Between the time of Burns departure
from the hotel and Mr.. Phillips receipt OF
the letter from Buffalo stating that the
draft was bogus, there registered at the
commercial house one Sunday, Matte l..
Cone, of Rock Island who asked fol
Burns, and said the occasion of her visit
to Muscatinc was to fulfill an engagement
with Burns to meet him there. When Mr.
| Phillips found that he had been deceived
in Burns, he sought Matte Cone in hopes
| of gaining from her knowledge of his
present whereabouts. He did not find hel
| here, but is still in hopes that he will as
certain her residence
