1t was one of the Democratic cam
paign charges last summer, as we'll
AS Of previous campaigns for the
last sixteen years or SO, that there
had been, undoubtedly, enormous
frauds in the executive branches of
the government at Washington,
which were covered up by the Re
publicans, and which could never be
discovered until the Democrats got
into power and had control of the
treasury and the books of the gov
ernment. 1t will be remembered
that, so fully persuaded were the
Democrats that this state of things
must exist, that an investigating
committee was set to work by the
Democratic House of Representa-
tives, which found nothing Inat
would support such a claim. But,
judging the Republicans by them
selves, probably, the Democratic
politicians were not satisfied, and
the howl Of hidden frauds was kept
mp. Well, the treasury and the
books are in their hands, and they
have been hunting diligently, with
out effect. The count Of the cash
in the treasury vaults is practically
completed, and has unearthed a de-
ficiency of-two cents in a S.
package of those useful but some
what cumbrous coins. The defci-
ency was promptly made good from
the pocket Of the responsible clerk,
and the Democracy should breathe
easier. The fact will be made clear
to the people, by the time this
searching investigation closes, that
the Republican administration for
the past "a years has been marked
by the highest fidelity to the trust
imposed upon the party by the
people.

THE CULTURE OF FROGS.

The "frog who would wooing 60
is now native of the great republic,
and his matrimonial leap is taken across
the broad waters which separate America
from Europe. He descends from this
stupendous saltatory exercise, not upon
the Unsympathetic shores of Britain,
where his race is looked upon with
disdain, and even aversion, but upon
the hospitable and friendly shores OF the
new republic in France, where his hl
has been appreciated warmly by gour-
mands OF every class. The Figaro re-
potts with much gusto the arrival OF the
distinguished strangers, who are to be
introduced with due honor into the
breeding establishments which supply
the markets of the gay capital. The
Yankee frog is quite worthy of tie
country in which his first mortal croak
is made. He is twice as big as the we'll
known inhabitant OF the maslei Of the
Seine, whose delicate limbs are so Gag r
ly bought up dy French epicures, mud 50
daintily served to table, by the cordonS
GLeus of the Gale Anglais and the Trois
Freres. The precious consignment has
been received by the frog breeders with
unbulnded Joy, and it is anticipated that
skillful treatment of the new race will
infuse fresh virtues into the stock of the
frog ponds, so that in time, by careful
system Of propaG ation, the legs Of the
croakers supplied to the French resiaur-
nnts will rival in sizo the legs OF chick
ems, which they are said to resemble in
flavor, and it will no longer be necessary
for the giver of feast to sacrifice n
holocaust Of the expensive victims. 1t
seems, however, that the newcomers are
ull Of the ruder sex. The Yankee has
come a-wooing, and "whether his
mother would let him go or no" is still n
doubtful point. But, atany rate, neither
Ii 8 mother nor his sister have accom-
panied him to Europe. He will be we'd
led to the wife or wives provided for
him in the French grcnouillcres, and we
,incerely hope that he will "live happi-
ly ever litter ward" andpbe the father of
an increasing and interesting family of

A VICTIM OF STRANGE COINCI.
DENCE

A merchant of this city, who has taken
part in the Presidential elections of the
last forty years, has had the singular
misfortune to vote for the four Presi-
dents who died in office-Harrison, Tay-
Tor, Lincoln and Garfeld-and never
have Endorsed any other successful can
didate. Hearing of this strange expe-
rience reporter went to him for its cor
roboration. He said:
81 have always been a Wing and Re-
publican, and voted for Henry Clay,
who was beaten. In 1910 / voted for
Harrison, and he died in Office. In 1874
voted against Polk, who was elected.
In 1913 l voted for Taylor, who also died
In office. That was the first coincidence,
but never thought much about it. In
1857 voted against Pierce and he got

saw what the Southerners were doing,
and in 1864 [ voted for Lincoln, who
was assassinated. This happening to
the third successful candidate l had
voted for rather staggered me. In 1868

was srperstitious, but because did not
want to support Grant, and / would not
vote for Democrat. In 1872 l had
moved my residence to New Jersey, and
was not entitled to q vote that year. In
1915 lost my vote, too, and in 1880 l
told my friends that l did not want TO
vote for Garfield, for if 1 did he would
either be defeated or would lose his life
in ttlice. They insisted upon my dong
so, however, and it looked like such a
close thing that was finally pursuaded
and voted for Garfield. Now he is dead,
and never will vote for another Presi-
dent if live to be 1000 years cd"

some asperity, "but it is very strange

"I'll do it if you will promise never
