There was no half way business about
"honest Dick Tate" the absconding State
treasurer of Kentucky. The amount that
bas disappeared is now stated to be $780,
600 and it is intimated that some other
state officials are implicated. The best
that is said of the auditor, who ought to
have examined Tate's accounts, is that
he was about as weak and inefficient as
any such official could be. AS the treasur-
er left 600 barrels of whiskey in place of
some of the State funds, the Kentuckians
are not wholly without consolation.

While the official communications which
Emperor Frederick has thus far put forth
have no direct reference to fore On com.
plications, it is fully understood that his
wish is to impress peace policy On his
subjects and to develop the great natural
resources of Germany, so that, should the
time ever come when they are forced into
war, they would be able to show such
strength that the attack would never be
repeated.

The rotary snow plow, used on Western
railroads, description of which is given
in another column has done great work
the past winter. 1t is said that before its
introduction the Northern Pacific had
seventy locomotives disabled in a single
winter and had to fall back on the EN-
ployment of large gangs of men with
shovels to clear the tracks. This became
so expensive that some other way of fight

In moving that a committee of five sen
ators he appointed TO arrange for and at
tend the funeral of Chief Justice Waite,
Senator Edmunds paid high tribute to
the worth and emipence of the departed
jlrist. He said For now more than four
teen years, partially in times of great eX
citement and difficulty and struggle, and
through career in that court aud out of
1t embracing questions of the widest i'm
portance to human rights, both of life
liberty and property, the chief justice has
been the conspicuous figure in the iuris-
prudence OF this nation, and perhaps not
less conspicuous in respect of the juris-
prudence of the whole world. His career
has been touched in these fourteen years
by no stain, by no reproach, by no fault or
failing, either official or personal Up
right, brave, even minded, impartial,
patient, atfectionate, kindly, as citizen
and in every walk of private life he has
filled his career with honor, great honor
to himself and with infinite benefit to his
country" Mr.. Edmunds was appointed
chairman OF the committee, but requested
to be excused on account of the condition
Of his own health.

Considering the fact that most of the
gentlemen whose names are mentioned in
connection with the appointment to the
vacant chief justiceship of the United
States are advanced III years, it would
seem to be not unlikely that the honor and
place will fall to Speaker Carlisle. Mr..
Cleveland thinks much of him, and he Is

The silly sentimentalism of some wo
men-to the credit of the sex be it said
that they are few in number-is just now
showing itself in gush over Barclay Peak
who is on trial in New Jersey for murder

uncOuth, iliterate, course in feature ami
culture and yet he has become hero to
some women, much above him socially,
who send him chickens, cigars and novels
and hold daily matinee in the prison
His female admirers are not limited

but some of them hail from Brooklyn
and Philadelphia, The attraction which

Hon B. ID. Harris of Brattleboro author
ICES the PhuHir to say that he is not a
candidate for place as a member of the
delegation to Chicago. He believes it to
be unnecessary and unwise to give the
office repeatedly to any one man. and, hav-
ing enjoyed the honor four years ago, he
thinks it should now go to some other
representative republican from that sec
ton of the State. Mr. Harris would be
glad to see the choice fall on Col. J. j.

Col, Estey be chosen either as a delegate
at large or as one of the district delegates
the choice would be cordially approved in
