st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A few days ago lady stepped into
the depot at Saltwater and purchased a
ticket for st. Paul. She then approach
the station agent and told him that she
had large sum of money on her person,
and was afraid to go alone, as there were
several men in the waiting room that she
thought We're watching her. She stated
that she had been travelling through Eu-
rope and had stopped off in New York
several days on her return, where she
had obtained $4,000 worth of govern
ment bonds and $1,000 in money, max
ing in all $25, 900, which she carried on
her person. The agent doubted her sto-
ry, and asked where the money was.
I'm my stocking" she replied, at the
same time reaching down and drawing
therefrom bunch of paper, which she
showed and which proved TO be genuine
government bonds. By the direction of
the agent, one of the employees at the de
pot accompanied the lady to st. Paul,
where he was presented with hand
some pin as a reward for his services.

only to hide the doubt and dismay
whose mists settle around their
hearts?
They attempt to console us by af-
firming that we are rich when the
public is, and that each of us has a
share in this glittering heap at
Washington. But the miner who
owned absolutely the mighty mug
get upon which he sat in the wilder
ness died of starvation, and so we
shall get neither food nor comfort
from the useless millions that are
kept stored in Washington. The
Buccaneers often intercepted the
galleons before they reached Spain,
and there are armies of pirates who
stand between the people and the
wealth which should be the reward
of honest industry, and it is too of
ten the case that those whom we
have appointed guardians of our
best interests are in league with
those whose bond of brotherhood is
a common faith in that article of
the new creed which reads "The
people be damned"
The possession of silver and gold
does not ensure wealth; the people
claim to be the real rulers of this
country and they must watch their
agents if they would protect their
interests; We have treasures to
guard, failure to perform our duty
will injure the cause of freedom
throughout the world, and a meek
submission to pirates who wish to
rob our pockets will be followed by
subservience to tyran,s who take
away our liberties. When God
Himself was king it was said, "My
people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge;" in these latter days
the sin of Indifference walks hand
in hand with the ignorance which
does not seek enlightenment.

A PARALLEL.

When great ship loads of silver
in solid bars were being shipped to
Spain from foreign mines, when her
government was the richest in the
world and tons upon tons of the
precious metal were stored in the
vaults of the castle in Toledo; her
people were poor and ignorant. Not
even the erection of magnificent
buildings at heavy cost could put
money in the pockets of the people,
and the same policy finally carried
TO its legitimate conclusion led to
the utter bankruptcy of prince and
people.

Senator Ransom's Appointments.

NY. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-Senator
Ransom has been more fortunate than
most of his colleagues in securing places
for his political friends. He was being
congratulated upon this fact the other
night by Senators Voorhees,, and a North
Carolina friend, as they were discussing
in melancholy strains the difficulty of
filing offices without violating the civil
service law. Senator Ransom sweetly
remarked that in none of the appoint
ments secured by him had there been the
least infraction Of either the spirit or let
ter Of the act. Every one of his men
were able, competent and a model OF po-
likeness. The company looked little
doubtful at first, but the North Carolina
friend chimed in promptly: "Thats
true, gentlemen, that's true; every word
of it. Why, I saw one of Ransom's men
only the other day, an internal revenue
collector who had discovered one of his
chums running an illicit still. He said
to him, Now, Jim, Cleveland told me to
say to you this is all right. but as favor
to him he would like you to move this
still little further back in the noun
tains where the smoke cannot be seen
from the road" Senator voorhees,
thought this story so good that the next
day when he called at the White House
he told it to the President, who enjoyed
it greatly. Indeed, he is said to have de-
clared afterward that he had not laughed
so heartily since he had come to Wash
ington.

bills One appropriated, among other things,

general, and the other fixing the salary Of that

who then held the Office, drew the salary So, 900,

Auditor of State Rice to issue warrant for

Auditor referred the matter to Attorney general
Kitchener. and yesterday that gentleman deliv-
