Gentleman George Converse Refuse,
To Take Part In the Canvas
Political Sensation mt
Columbus.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept. 15-The sensa-
tion of the day is the announcement that
ex-Cougressman George l.. Converse has
refused 10 make any speeches during the
present campaign. The story goes that a
delegation of Licking county politician.
called upon Mr.. Converse yesterday and
invited him to open the democratic cam
paign in that county. They made strong
argument. aud stated that unless lie would
come to the aid the flock masters of old
Licking would vote the Republican ticket
this fall on account uf The failure of the
last congress to restore the duty on wool.
As Mr.. Converse was the alleged cham
,,ion Ot the wool interest il was fit and
proper that he should come over IN cd
Licking and give Governor IIoadly y
boost for re- e-eleciion. Mr.. Converse was
moi slow in replying and after thanking
the committee for the courtesy extended
said lie was forced to decline the invita-
ton, M he had made up his mind to
make no speeches at all this year.
GUESSING AT REASONS.
This action on the part of Mr.. Convers,
is capable OF number OF interpretations
| tne mON reHtOnhnIe OF winch IN tlat III
has soiired on both il,e national and stat,
governments. 1t will be remembered that
he got into the democratic national con-
vention on Lew Bernard's proxy, ant
helped stab the "Old Roman" beneath
the fifth rib. One year ago lasi Januar,
he got of The track rs a candidate fo
United States Senator, and il was said a
the time that lie WAS to receive lila rewar,
from the kids in the democratic nomin,
alton for governor this year. His worl
for Cleveland and Payne has not been re
warded, and tor The first time in SIX yenr
Mr.. Converse il not drawing a salary from
the government, as he was not given n ia
berth by President Cleveland, neither di'
he receive the nomination Tor governor
He holds Hoadly responsible for this
and will get his revenge in refusing TO nj

SENSATION IN CoURr.
A Boston Judge Thtnks it seIess TO
Try TO Enforce the Law.

- --'--
Boston, Mass, July 9.-Since Mon
day OF the present week special jury
for the trial of liquor cases has been sit
ting in the Superior Criminal Court,
Judge Aldrich presiding. The jury was
made up of men in all kinds of business,
and at the call on Monday morning
thirty eight responded to their names.
The docket was opened at $50 clock on
that day, with Assistant District At
torney Adams for the prosecution.
Most of the cases were made on com
pl.int of Charles Moves, of the Law
and Order League, and the principal
witnesses for the government were Geo.
A. l.. Snow and Jules Gignet The lat
ter has been tried, but never found
guilty of perjury, and the testimony Of
Mr.. Snow has never been questioned.
Six liquor cases have been tried, and in
nearly every instance the evidence was
conclusive against the sellers. The jury,
however, thought different, and all of he
arrested parties have been discharged.
During yesterday the jury was out on the
saloon keeper of the city. This morning
they came in with a disagreement.
The jury presented it, report, after
uuSc 1AlUTlCu CduStu ueclQSu
sensation by saying: The government
testimony has been straightforward aud
has come mainly from two witnesses
The responsibility rested with the jury,
and they were to try the facts in the diff
ferent cases. l have endeayored to state
the law fully to the jury, as 10 all other
cases, although | have no opinion to
express. When We are dealing with
liquor cases We are dealing with the very
head spring of the curreDt of crime.
Now, the only way this jury could con
vict these men would be by the testi
mony of two witnesses. I have nothing
to say about the credibility of the two
men, or about the work of the jury, but |
think it would be useless to go on.
The decision of the judge to stop try
ing liquor cases this term has created
extraordinary sensation among the liqu r
men aud lawyers of the city. The Law
and Order League says that the jury has
been packed to aid the liquor sellers
The league will make thorough inves-
tigation of the affair

The trustees OF Vassar Collsge have
managed its affairs SO badly, according to
Mrs. Brown, a correspondent of tbs Louis
vile Home and Farm, that the Gilmna
have had to go TO their aid. For time
these anxious, loving daughte OF alma
mater Eere met with repulses, but, as Mrs.
Brown says: "The persistence OF just
cause knows no wesriness at the hand of
women, and at the last annual III etIng of
the Board of Trustees there was sent TO
them document of statements contain
ing what we're believed to be mistakes in
college affairs, calling for imme diate cor
ree,;on. A departure from the old methods
was proposed in the request that an
aIamna siauld be appointed to fill one OF
the three vaca,scies existing IN the Board
of Trustees" This h2s rot yet been con-
ceded, but as just measure OF feioIm 1t
must come, and, more, the time must come
when women shall administer, as trustees
the business affairs, as well as the edu
cational, of every college for women in the
country, and they will demand this as q
Just measure OF recognition of their ca.
pacity for selfgovernment, enlarged and
strengthened by the education they re-
ceive in such great ceptars Of learning. AS
Mrs. Brown so earnestly says: ut is 9
rare combination of rare endownents only
that can fit a man to preside beneficently
over colleges for men. Rarer still must be
the conglomeraticn of virtues t. at make
him eligible to the superior charge end
direction of colleges for women So tran
seendent is the absolute and essential fit
Mss that we doubt il the fit msn exist9,
except he be complemented bya woman oi
exalted ability, not as assistant, but as CO.
worker, &nd it should he thought no cub
traction from manly honor if in this, the
realm of woman, she be given the prima
place"

AMONG the statements made with view
to the injury If Gov. Lowry WIS one by
the jackson MssiSippian to the effect that
he refused to call the Legislature together
in extra session to pass bill to enable
the counties in the YszGo bottom to tax
themselves 10 build and MAJ tain thor
ough and complete system of leveeS, even
though the committee, with streaming
eyes, as it were," importuned him. The
fact is thst the counties in question, in
convention held in Jackson in Nav or
June, were not a unit aud it was only
after much debate and consideration that
a sort of agreement as to the call of the
Legislature was decided upon, and crude
and greatly defective bill was drafted. The
convention separated with the under
standing that the Governor would not call
the Legislature unless a commit 9e, which
was appointed, should secure the pledge
of a msjority Of the legislators that no
other business would be considered. The
Greenville Times, the organ of the people
of the Yszoo bottom, paper that has al
ways Dctu hu duNbSaNC VI bHSll
interests, says: "Why the Governor did
not call the Legislature, whether the
pledge was secured or not, we do not
know. But we do know that the Times,
from uigng the call, settled down under
the conviction that it would be unwise
and would effect no good. Our reasons
were that the action of the convention was
not heartily and generally indorsed by
its constituencies, large and influential
bodies OF whom, from nearly every county,
by petition, urged against the cali. This
convinced us that the Legislature il con-
yened would, instead of united senti
meet, be met with intsrminsble wrangle
From This condition no effective legisls-
ton could be nodded" And it was just
such conclusions, no doubt, that wisely
prevented Gov. Lowry from eonvening the
Legislature at great expense to the people,
He did right, and as an earnest of it and
that the people approve hi course he has
now assurances from all parts of the State
that he will be nominated by the Demo
cratic convention and be reelected.

EAsr TSxNEssEE is greatly excited over
A number Of iefalcations, overcharses and
srrearag,s on the part of several county
Off ers. Their discovery is due to in
yestigations had as a result ci the con-
viction of TX Sheriff Joseph d. Foute, OF
Ioudon county, who wss ssnt TO the p eni-
tentisry by the Criminal Court of David
con county for frauds perpetrated in
Office. In Knox county it is feared there
are many irregularities, especially on the
part of justices of the peace and in the
administration of the Criminal Court.
The Compt oilers re: oYt shows that the
State paid Knox county on criminal
prosecutions (Geionies) for the year end
ing December 10, 1885, $40, 500 81; to
David son, sl7 ,h97 Al, aud to Shelby,
S2I, ,44s 81. Here VIA Ranifestly pointer
to fraRd-more clearly 20 sbsR further
examination revealed that the Knox
county, court had appropriated 80, ,S? for
misdemesHor prosecutions and work
house expenses during the same'psriod,
thus making the eonnty's aggregate for
s.zrtiing sum OF S6s,726 81. Be
sides this, the ChroaisEe complains
that the magistrates have encour-
aged petty prosecutions for tbs sake of the
witness fees. In Loudon county en- in
yestigation by the Knoxville Tribune
shows arrearages from incumbent and
lately retiring otficers Of $20.o59 9Sl, and
in several other counties the losses are put
at even higher figures. Investigations
have been ordered in many counties. and
it is limited thai the contagion may spread
TO the other grand divisions pf the State.
But this is not the way to pnsyent such
frauds. A permanent State Board of Ex-
auniners OF Accounts ought 20 b. appoint
ed by the next Legislature, with power tc
examine persons and papers in cennectioT ]
with the records and accounts Of State anC
county officers, and theee should be com
nei.sd to make monthly balances, on,
copy to be sent to the State Con,ptrolle
and the other left ON file in the loe1 office
with vouchers to support aud sustain tn,
figures. In this way, and this way only
eau the peoples money anf interests b,
properly and efficiently guarded.
