Treasury Accounts Correct.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The committee
appointed to examine the assets and books
of the Uuited States treasurer at the close
of business April 80. has made its report to
the secretary of the treasury. 1t shows a
complete veriication of the books and ac-
counts of the late treasurer, Mr.. Wyman.
The report says, however, that
the verifcation of the correctness
of the balances reported to the
credit of public disbursing officers was not
as complete as the committee would prefer.
They consider that the only satisfactory
test of the correctness of an account of this
kind is a statement by the depositor to that
effect To secure this verification
the accounts were written up to
the 30th of April last and
sent to the various departments
for variation report. In many instances
these reports have not been received. Others
will come in from time to time, and will be
examined. An excess of Is cents was
found in the balance due from the treas
urer as sinking fund commissioner of the
District of Columbia on accounts settled
by the accounting officers of the treasury

LATE ST. PAUL NEWS.

Mr.. Endicott, secretary of war, will ar
rive in the city from Omaha on Wednesday
morning. During the day he will visit
Fort Smelling and inspect the institution in
company with Gen. Terry. On Thursday
evening Gen. Terry will give him a recep-
ton at headquarters.
Shortly after o'clock this morning the
stray pedestrians within a few blocks of
Robert and Sixth streets were startled by
the loud report of firearms The police
men on the adjacent beats ran from all
sides, but no one could tell where or by
whom the shot was fired. A general search
in the yards and alleys failed to discover
anything. It was finally decided that the
alarm was given for mischief rather than to
furnish work for some undertaken.
w. w. Connel, secretary to G. H. War
rem, general passenger agent for the Mani

since transpired that he went to wed Miss
Blanche E. Stevens. of Columbus, o., and
has brought her with him to st. Paul.

OZONE.

People living up in this splendid Mime
sofa climate would probably like to give an
explanation Of what they mean when they
boast of the superior qualities of our ozone.
We learn from the recently -issued ninth
edition Of the Encyclopedia Britannica that
ozone is nothing else than an allotropic
modification of oxygen. The merit of
having discovered the true elementary COM
position of ozone belongs to MARfGNAc and
DE LA RIVE, who proved that it can be
produced as easily and abundantly as in any
other way, by the identification of absolutely
pure oxygen gas. In their experiments with
regard to the relations of the two kinds of
oxygen to one another, the first important
result which TAFT and ANDREWS arrived
at was that ozonization of pure oxygen gas
involves contraction, and that conse-
quently ozone is denser than oxygen
gas. With this understanding of simon
pure Minnesota atmospheric conditions all
of us can breathe freer.

TO PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

1t was a very graceful act in the chamber
of commerce to extend an invitation to
President CLEVELAND to be the guest of
this city at any time that may suit his con-
venience during the coming summer and fall.
The suggestion that, in case his excellency
gives favorable response to the courteous
invitation, the time be fixed at the date of
holding the state fair is also appropriate.
for at that time he would have an opportu-
nifty to be brought into personal contact with
more Minnesota people than at any other,
and, from an inspection of the exhibit made
at the fair, would have splendid oppor-
tunity to form correct idea of the vastness
and Importance of our resources as state
There are valid reasons why the president
should accept this invitation. He must of
necessity have some respite during the
heated term from the labors and confine-
ment Of his official post. A proper regard
his strength to enable him the more salts
factorily to discharge his duty to the pub
lie, alike demand this rest and
recreation for him. In the next
place if he recognizes this fact and seeks a
spot where he can be exempt from the wor-
ing annoyances of official life and at the
same time to enjoy cool and invigorating
climate, there is no place on the face of the
whole earth where he could find these con-
diti0ns in greater perfection than right here
at st. Paul, the capital city of Minnesota.
But above and beyond all these considera-
lions is the fact that the president has no
personal knowledge, and consequently can
have no just conception, Of the immense
and varied interests embraced in the great
Northwest. He would return to Washing
ton from visit to this section of the Union
with more exalted ideas Of the magnifcence,
power, wealth and grandeur of the great
country over which he presides, and his
patriotic soul would be filled with still higher
aspirations to create for thi S land nobler
destiny than it has yet achieved. In the
name of a common country and in behalf
of common patriotism, st. Paul cordially
extends to the president of the United
States her inequalities as well as ex-
presses to him the confidence of her people
in him as man and their appreciation of
his lofty and patriotic administration.

THE pOsTOFFICEs.

We observe that number of Democratic
newspapers are kicking against the policy
pursued by Postmaster General Villas in
shifting the responsibility of appointments
upon the shoulders of Democratic congress
men. The argument against this policy is
that it does not come within the line of the
legitimate duties of congressman to APP
point pOStmaSters, and that if it did some of
them are not qualified for the task, while,
on the other hand, the country believes that
the postmaster general is equal to the re-
Sponsibility. The doctrine asserted by the
complaining Democratic journals is tersely
presented by the st. Louis Republican,
which says: 1.-THE Democratic precedent
is that the people shall be allowed to choose,
and that the postmaster general shall be
arbiter of the choice" AS general prin
ciple the Republicans statement is sound.
But the difficulty is in the application of it
to the appointment of several thou
sand postmaster Popular Endorsements
OF applicants are so often worthless be-
cause so often inconsiderately given that it is
difficult for the postmaster general, who is
unacquainted with both the applicant and
the petitioners to determine upon the pro-
priety of the appointment without having
some one outside of the department in
whose judgment he can confde and upon
whose integrity he can rely. In looking
about for such a person it is the most
natural thing in the world that he should go
to the member of congress representing the
particular district in which the applicant or
applicants may reside. The congressman
comes direct from the people; he is their
representative, chosen by them to look after
their public interests at the national capital,
and he is supposed to know something of
the people he represents. For these rea-
sons he is the best and safest adviser the
head Of a department can find. If the con-
gresham makes a mistake and mis-
represents his constituency in the mat
ter of appointments he is directly
responsible to them for his conduct and they
can bring him to account. While in one
sense this system may have a tendency to
create the conditions of bossism, still the
people are sovereign, and whenever con-
gresham disregards their wishes and per-
verts the powers with which they have
entrusted him to set himself up as boss,
they can very easily dethrone him. Every
two years he has to run the gauntlet of
popular appreciation, aud it is an easy thing
to knock him out Looking at it in this
light it must occur to the thinking mind that
Mr.. Villas has adopted the only practical
system that he could devise to secure the aid
that he must have in the matter of the
minor postoffice appointments.

BENEATH the sober exterior of Comptroller
ROCHE lies rich vein of genuine humor, as
was illustrated in his communication to the
chamber Of commerce. When, in response to
an inquiry from that body, he told them that
the large amount of premium paid into the
city treasury was wholly due to his 'business
methods, the sensitive nerves of Vice Presi-
dent DRIsCOLL doubtless felt a shock, but
over the faces of the other members of the
chamber we imagine there stole smile at the
quaint and ready humor of the sober-sided
comptroller.

In concluding its review of the revision Of
the Old Testament the Acknowledgements says:
Let us at once state that the Old Testament
has been more fortunate than the New in its
revision. Its revisers not only laid down cor
rect principles, but generally speaking held
TO them, and the result is that we now possess
version which retains the beauties of the
book SO long familiar and that are stored in a
million memories. Our first impression of
their work is to the effect that learning and
taste, under the control Of reverence, have
achieved great success. The grand old mu-
Sic rings out strong and true, and many an
OBSCURE passage has been made clear. Such
results are well worth the fourteen years of
labor that produced them"

Admirable work.
New York Tribune.

The revised version of the Old Testament
has been received with great favor in En-
gland. It is pronounced by nearly all the
critics to be an admirable and learned work,
executed in a broader and more conservative
spirit than the revised version of the New
Testament The textual alterations are pro-
portionately fewer in number, and as a rule
are not made merely for the sake of change,
as was often the case in the earlier work.
The revisers have proceeded more cautiously,
and have respected the feeling of the English
speaking race that the historic version of the
Bible ought not to be picked to pieces and re-
worked merely to illustrate the refnements
of the modern processes of theological study.

burning of a village.

SOMERSET, Que, May 1s.-Somerset
village was destroyed by fire on Saturday
night, about one hundred houses being
burned, including the Presbyterian church,
the foundry and the cheese factory Many
persons are in destitute condition. The
fire originated in the foundry. The build
ings being mostly of wood the fire spread
rapidly, and with the imperfect fire appa-
ratus at hand it was impossible to control
the flames. The convent was not burned
and it will probably be used as a churcl
until another one can be built.

REL has fallen into the hands of the en-
envy, but the more nervy and gallant DUMONT,
who was really the brains of the RIEL rebell-
ion, has not yet succumbed, and it is safe to-
assume that he will never voluntarily yield
to the forces in the field against him. He will
die fighting with his feet to the foe. He is q
man of iron nerve and remarkable resolution.
There is no telling where he may be encoun-
tered, but whoever takes him will earn his
reward. He is not.the coward that RIEL has
proven himself to be and will not be taken
inactive. Whenever he is borne to the camp

much may be set down to his credit.

ground and moving upward. The indica-
tions are that an unusually large swarm

rendering verdict of guilty, after an alb

the young girl first entered complaint before
the court, she was locked up in prison while the
criminal walked out on bail. The newspa-

aroused public sentiment that has resulted

There is no probability that the revised
version of the Old, Testament will meet with
any more general acceptance than has the
revised edition Of the new one. The latter is
used to no considerable extent. 1t is not ow-
ing to the fact that there is any great distrust
of it among clergymen, for they cannot well
dispute the ability and scholarship of those
who made the revision, but they were edu-
Gated under the teachings of the old edition,
and there are many points which they would
find very awkward to deal with.

1t may be doubted whether the improve
ments will commend the revision to the mass
of Bible readers. 1t is impossible to exag-
gerate the hold which the King James YER
sion has secured upon the English-speaking
world. To a large proportion of people it is
not version; it is book as it came from the
hands Of it's writer's, and they resent any
tampering with it's original form. The time
may come when the King James translation
Of the Bible will be generally supplanted, but
it will not be in the nineteenth century.
