Ten Years, Defalcations.

Some days ago the New York Herald
began the publication Of a record of defal-
cations in this country for the last ten years
The showing is appalling, and yet it is
doubtful if a complete record for any year
has been given The statement for 1883
shows that during that year embezzlers
and defaulters got away with 81, 1874 ,430
the heaviest embezzlement being 5000, 900,
and the Peoples bank of New York being
the sufferer. The sum of $500 900
was stolen from the London and
San Francisco insurance company, and
several embezzlers got Off with from 800, 900
to 100000. The total amount stolen for
the six years for which the record has been
given is nearly $4,000, 900. and when the
ten years record is finished, the sum will
no doubt reach SOS 900, 900 or $50, 600, 900, for
defalcations are by no means on the de-
crease in this country.
Nothing more forcibly directs attention
TO the need of an extradition treaty with
Great Britain than the figures which the
Herald is printing. Such a treaty would
not put an end TO defalcations, but it would
put powerful check upon them. AS the
matter stands, danger continually threatens
every bank and business house in the coun.
try. The person who is sharp enough to
hide his tracks until he gets to Canada with
big amount of stolen money may there
enjoy his booty unmolested. In this state
of affairs, the temptation which presents it,
self to those handling other peoples money
is frequently so great that it cannot be re-
sisted.
A treaty covering the ground was
negotiated by the present administration
but a republican senate, shutting its eyes
to the public interest, found pretext for
postponing and perhaps preventing its
ratification, presumably because the repub-
lican majority of that body does not intend
that the democrats shall receive the credit
of such a measure

The debate among the republicans Of the
house. on the free sugar suggestion Of one
of their number. shows how hopelessly they
are divided on the tariff question. The
suggestion was to put sugar on the free
list and to pay bounties to the sugar pro
ducers. Ofcourse the sugar producers would
object to the bounty plan because it could
not I've made successful. and would soon be
abandoned.
But there is not much probability that
sugar will be- placed upon the free list, for
two reasons. The first is, the republicans
are united in favor Of it, and are not
likely to be. To put sugar on the free list
would be 70 condemn the republican ma
tional platform, which declares in favor Of
making wnisky free before abandoning any
part Of the present protective system. The
republicans would hardly dare take a posi-
ton 50 directly opposed TO their national
platform while the presidential campaign
was in progress They would like, OF course,
to get rid Of the free whisky declaration in
their platform, because their most sagacious
leaders are beginning to see that that
declaration promises to do their ticket in
calculabe damage
The second reason is that the removal of
the sugar duties would not, in all proba-
bility, make sugar cheaper, while it would
pretty certainly increase the burdens of the
people. If this country should remove the
sugar duties, the countries that supply the
sugar would, there is every reason to be-
lieve, place an export duty upon it equal TO
our import duties Cuba, for instance.
would like nothing better than a chance to
put heavy export duty on sugar The
result would be, therefore, that the people
OF this country would not get sugar any
cheaper than they now do, and they would
be taxed to pay bounties to sugar pro
ducers
The bounty system will ne YER be a popu-
lar one in this country. There is no more
reason why bounties should be paid to
sugar planters than to any other protected
industry
Representative Cannon, a republican,
who offered the free sugar amendment to
the Mills bill, said that he regarded the
sugar tariff as revenue tariff It is
pretty nearly tariff of that kind, because
eight'ninths of the sugar used in this coun-
try is imported, and the sugar duties bring
s56,00O,000 a year into the treasury. A
few sugar planters receive some protection
from it. 1t is wholly different to the great
majority Of duties which the democrats
want reduced and which enable those they
protect to put into their pockets many
times the amount the government gets

Loud-Talking Women.
Eron the Mem York Star.

When Mr.. Cleveland is reelected don't you
think it would be- good idea to have him get
up a society for the suppression of the loud
talking and explanatory woman Loud talking
il as contagious as bad morals; indeed rather
more so, Given one member in the party who
screams as II all the rest were deaf, aud In ten
minutes they'll ali be talking SO loudly that they
can be heard much farther than they desire
The explanatory woman is a bore-she's always
been every place before, and is ready TO tell you
just how and why, She always knows who 6eo
pie are and their family histories, and gloats over
their unsuccessful attempts to marry their
daughter, who. she will tell you has been taken
to every watering place in the country to try
and get her husband. Now, WHY, if one
wanted to marry ones daughter, should one
take her to a watering place? The right thing
to do, it seems to me, would be to ill her heart
with the rich wine of affection ard common
SENSE and the husband will be forthcoming at
the right time. At least, that's what think.
But my daughters. who would make such won
derful wives, and my sons, who would be such
courteous gentlemen, are dream children, and
perhaps they are more manageable than those

The death of Miss Force, in Oakland, Cal,
the other day, recalls romance connected
with her life. While travelling in Europe
some years ago, she met Count Drake, a
Frenchman of the old nobility. They were
soon engaged, and when she returned to
America he followed her She loaned him
$40, 900 to start sheep ranch in Colorado,
but he failed in the enterprise and returned
to France, where by lucky speculations he
became wealthy and was enabled to return
to the young lady the amount of her loan.
The couple never married, owing, it is said.

Washington correspondent says that
there is good deal of talk about Postmaster
General Dickinson these days, he being
mentioned as a man to keep track Of about
1892. Mr.. Dickinson gave up law prac-
tice in Michigan which, it is said, was worth
TO him $50 900 year, in order to accept a
position in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet at a
yearly salary of $1,000, and his yearly ex-
penses in Washington are said to be S25 600
His friends say he is a young Tilden in ex-
ecutive ability. He is not young Tilden
in the matter of wealth, however, for his
private fortune is not above 5000, 900, and
the probability is that 1t will be less than
that in a few years.

The Public Pumps.

1t requires long time to effect a reform
Of any kind in this city. There is conserv-
alive sentiment that is difficult to over
come. There Is lack of that progressive
and aggressive spirit, which is so necessary
for the building up of place and for the
making of improvements which the public
welfare requires.
The advsability OF removing the pumps
from the localities where artesian water
can be obtained, has been discussed for
months. 1t is not denied that the water
from these pumps is not wholesome, and it
is quite generally admitted that the pumps
ought to be removed and their places sup
piled with hydrants
Some action in the matter has been taken
by the city council but the pumps are still
In use. II the question of their removal
had been acted upon vigorously and
promptly when it was first suggested, it
would have been settled long ago, and
hydrants and drinking fountains for horses
would now be found in different parts Of
the city.
The Objectionable pumps will, OF course
be removed in time, but it would have cost
no more TO remove them last spring than it
will next fall. II the pump water is as bad
as it is believed by many to be, its use can
not be discontinued too soon.
Savannah is gradually getting out Of her
slow way Of making public improvements,
but there is still great deal Of room for the
display Of energy and progressiveness

A Doubtful Marriage.

There is some doubt, it seems, whether or
not Mrs. Hammersley, the rich New York
widow, vino married the Duke Of Marl-
borough few days ago in New York, is "A
duchess. New York lawyers differ on the
question whether her marriage with the
duke is valid. There is no doubt that she
and the duke think they are legally married.
They were married by Mayor Hewitt, Of
New York, and also by Baptist minister
of that city. If they are not legally
married, therefore, it is because the law of
New York is such that they could not be.
But Is the law such that no legal marriage
could be performed between theml The
statute of New York provides that mo
second or subsequent marriage shall he con
tracted by any person during the lifetime
Of any former husband or wife of such
person unless the marriage with such former
husband or wife shall have been aunulled
OF dissolved for some cause other than
adultery of such person, or unless such
former husband or wife shall have been
finally sentenced to imprisonment for life
As is well known, the former wife of the
duke obtained divorce from him on the
= y.
lidity Of his marriage to Mrs Hammersley
depends upon the New York statute it is
not valid. But does it depend upon that
statutei Good lawyers say that it does
Although the duke is q citizen of England,
and although there may be no English
statute which renders his marriage to Mrs
Hammersley invalid, it has been held, In at
Least two cases ia New,X ork state, that a
divorced person, even though not citizen
Of that state cannot legally marry in that
state, il the ground OF the divorce was adul-
terry, as long as the other party to the
divorce is living.
No question relative to the validity of tho
marriage Of the duke to Mrs Hammersley
may be raised in England, but circum-
stances may arise which may cause it to be
raised in New York Mrs Hammersley is a
very rich woman, and all of her property
is in New York state. If she is not legally
married, therefore, according to the laws of
that state, there might be question re-
specting the disposition Of her property in
the event Of her death, particularly if she
should leave children. If she is wise she
will have another marriage ceremony per
formed in England where it seems there is
nothing more than a technical obstacle in
the way of her union with the duke
Some of the lawyers hold that, although
there is no English law against the mar
riage of the duke during the life time Of his
divorced wife, his marriage in New York
can hardly be regarded as valid in England
if it is not valid in New York, because, if
not valid where it occurred, there was no
legal marriage whatever, and if Mrs Ham
mersley has never been legally married to
the duke, il is difficult to see how she can
be regarded in England as the dukes legal
wife The case presents good many in
teresting points, and may attract much
more attention than it has yet
