An Apparent Fraud Upon the Treasury
MO. states.l

N. .. States.
During tho past few days, 1t has
been discovered that a large number
Of the coupons, which were attached
to the bonds due by tho State to the
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
and the State Seminary, and which the
constitution Of 1879 had declared null,
and directed to be destroyed, had been
paid by the Treasury. Tho amounts
Of those fraudulent payments, It is es-
timated, will aggregate between sew
enty and eighty thousand dollars; and
neither the whereabouts Of the bonds
themselves amounting TO $27S,400 nor
any proces-verbal nor other evidence
Of their d.struction can DO discovered
In the Trcasurer's Office, where they
ought 10 be. Hence II these bonds
are, like their coupons, undestroyedl
and out Of the possession OF the State,
this apparent fraud upon the State
will foot up $s4s,40o; and, tho ques-
tion occurs, II these bonds are out; and
In the hands Of third parties who pur.
chased them on the faith Of tho State,
can the State now without an act of
pslpable reputation refuse to recog-
nize them.
II Is but right, however, for the pub
lie to possess itself just now In patience.
The investigation into this matter has
not been concluded, and Auditor
Steele, who possesses the perfect conf
dencc Of the people Of Louisiana, Is as.
siduously, but cautiously, proceeding
In the work Of discovery, and will be
able In few days, to make a full and
accurate statement to the public.
Again, Major Burke, we understand, is
expected in New Orleans in short
time, and judgment should be suspend
ed until he Is heard In this matter. AS
Treasurer, he was the custodian of the
bonds and the coupons, and though 1t
Is difficult to conceive what explanation
Of this matter can be made, in common
justice he lie entitled to;be heard before
he Is condemned.

A RAMPANT REBEL.

Staunton Va) Letter, June ;.
General Thomas L. ROsSer delivered a
characteristic and bitter speech before the
Confederate Memorial Association to-day
He spoke of nations erecting monuments
to their heroic dead He said the differ
ence between Northern and Southern
monuments was that in the South they
are erected over graves TO virtue and pa
triOtism. and III Northern cities by phari-
Saical Yankees to enhance real estate. and
over the graves of bounty jumpers and
hirelings and empty graves. And they
expect God Almighty and the Angel Ga
briel to resurrect their lies. Southern sol
diers fought for the rights OF States and
the integrity of homes, for virtue and pa
triOtism-the Northern man for plunder,
pelf and pay. In 1861 the integrity of the
Southern States was in danger. They
withdrew from the corrosive influences
to secure peace and prosperity.
The Southern people are SaxOn--the
Northern people Celt," said General ROS-
ser. Il chuckled over the results arising
from Socialism and Andrchism in the
North. from which we are free. 1t has
been said We are the same people, but that
was long time ago. Now evolution or
some process mas 0ldu6 us ul1leTtnJ CItd-
lures, and soon capital and oppressed
manhood will flee to the South, where hon
est men can protect them. Applause. +
The world will see that rebels are the only
true patriots and supporters of cOnstitu
tiOnal liberty. IapprOve all the Southern
COnfederacy did 1t destroyed evil forces
and established good ones Its monu-
ments are to truth, patriotism, and glory,
not brazen images resulting from blem
ished hearts and conduct. The North
abandoned the race it emancipated, ex-
cept their votes. No GreeleyS, WhittierS,
Beechers or John Browns write or preach
or die for them. They are abandoned by
the Puritanical Yankee, who wants to
correct Gods mistake and place the infe
rior over the superior. Long after the
brazen images in Washington and else
where have been thrown down and the
G.. y. R. $50 called, Sherman, Foraker In
gals and such ike shall be, with the rub
bish of the French revolution, assigned

Additional Editorial on first pare.

ELSEWHERE will be found an article,
under the caption Free Text Books,
which deserves general attention. The
working of the system at Boston GER
tainly makes an extraordinary showing,
especially when compared with the
methods used in Ohio of supplying pu-
pills with text books. The MaSsachu-
sets plan, if adopted and properly ad-
ministered, would no doubt give as
much satisfaction in Ohio as in the
former State. 1t would afford an i'm
mense saving to parents, as under the
present system of frequently changing
books that expense is no inconsIderable
part of the cost of educating children.
The matter of text books was dis
cussed in the Legislature last winter,
and various methods of relief from the
extortions of publishers proposed, but
owing to diversity of opinion no plan
was agreed upon. The question has
been crowding itself upon the attention
of the Ohio Legislature for years, and
the probabilities are that some plan of
relief will be adopted next winter. The
Massachusetts plan certainly deserves
careful investigation.

HAS JUDGE" MUGWUMPED? {?

From the Chicago Tribune.
The Judge has heretofore been cOnsid-
cred a fearless, independent Republican
paper 1t behooves it, therefore, to come
to the front and explain what it means by
the insulting cartoon. printed in the cur
rent number and entitled " Ben, the Con
queror," with the interrogation Is this
the man who was said by the Democrats
to be too small torule the Republican par
ty?" The picture is traveSty upon Ge-
r0me's well known Victorious Love,
and represents the President standing in
the midst of group of lions and tigers
whom he has subdued The animals are
all labeled There are Platt, Allison, Al
ger, Sherman, Wanamaker, Edmunds, and
EvartS reclining peacefully about him,
Blaine lying upon his back subdued, and
Morton crOuching and fawning at the feet
of the President with his red sash, white
wings, and victorious expression of cOun-
tenance. Judge may think this rare bit
Of humor, but Republicans will regard it
as an insult TO their great leaders. What
do Arkell and Russell Harrison mean by
this fampOon? 1t might be understood
if it had appeared in the Democratic lam
pOon print called Puck. Have they mug
wumped their paper? The cartoon is un-
Ineligible on any other theory.

A MrGWrMP OPINION.

From the Springfield CNIaSs.) Republican.
The wool journals say that the growers
all over the country intend to demand and
expect to obtain from the next Congress a
restoration of the wool tariff of 1867, "as
promised by the campaign orators of last
fall" OF course, the Wool Growers As
sOciatiOn, which means Columbus Delano,
David HarpSter, and Judge Lawrence, of
Ohio, have been heard from. They peti-
ton the administration to change the du
ties on wool waste, and they are besides
after the tariff of 1867, which the execu-
tive department of the government, ac-
cOrding to precedents established by it,
ought to be able to restore without the aid
of Congress. Now we shall see how har-
mOniOus are the alleged interests of grow
ers and manufacturers ON this subject.

EXHAUSTION OF PUBLICDOMALN

En- OF ~ BLU DOMA1N
From the Bankers Magazine.
The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes. Over 100000 acres
of land were sold in the last fiscal year
under the operation of the Homestead and
Timber Culture laws. More than l24 ,CG0, :
Geo acres have been settled in the last eight
years, representing larger area than the
States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Mich
igan.
The greatest changes have been made
in the Northwestern group of States and
Territories, comprising Dakota, Nebras
ka, Minnesota, Wyoming and Montana,
where nearly 60,OO0,CC0 acres have been
settled in the last eight years. In the
Southwestern group, comprising Kansas,
Colorado, Missouri, and New Mexico,
nearly 30O00,000 acres have been occupied.
On the Pacific coast 19,CC0,Cc0 acres more
have been settled, and 13,000,CG0 acres are
to be added for the Southern States on
both sides of the Mississippi. Along the
Pacific roads 100000 acres have been
opened since the last census. In other
words, the government and the Pacific
railroads have opened for settlement in
the last eight years territory larger than
Texas, larger than Germany or France,
and about twice as large as Great Britain
and Ireland.

GUARD THE CHILDREN.

The mystery attending the disappear
ance of Maggie Thompson, the little CIR
of Cleveland, of which there have been
numerous reports in the papers of late
has at last been cleared. The distressed
parents feared bad things. Their worst
fears have been more than realized. The
body of the little daughter, who was en-
ticed away for hideous purpose and was
then murdered, has been found hidden
under near neighbor's house. The young
fiend who committed the crime is in Jail
The story is one calculated to inspire pa

GENEROUS PITTSBURGH.

From the COmmerclaEGazette.
Nobody can accuse the people of Pitts
burgh with want of sympathy for the suf-
ferers of Johnstown; They have not only
provisions to relieve temporary distress,
but in many cases are assisting the survi-
vOrs to get another start. One merchant
in this city has customer at J0nstown
whose possessions, except real estate, were
swept away, but who owes large bill to
the Pittsburgh merchant. Not only is the
Pittsburgh man not attempting to collect
his debt, but he is advancing money to his
customer to enable him to begin business
again. That is but one of many similar
instances.

DISARNuNG AN UNSEEN FOE

This was sometime a paradox" as
Hamlet says. Since, however, the people
OF America and other lands have been en-
abled to pit Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against the unseen foe, malaria, it is no
longer paradox, but an easy possibility.
Wherever malaria evolves its misty We
nom to poison the air, and decaying I'M
wholesome vegetation impregnates the
water, there, in the very stronghold of
miasma, is the auxiliary potent to disarm
the foe and assure efficient protection.
Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb,
ague and ague cake, no matter how te-
naciovsly tpey have fastened their clutch
on the system, are first forced to relax
their grasp and eventually to abandon it
altogether. But it is its preventive force
that should chiefly recommend the Bit
ters to persons dwelling in malaria-curs-
ed localities, for it is certain buckler of
defence against which the enemy is pow
erless. Cures, likewise, dyspepsia, rheu-
matism. kidney and bilious ailments.

SINCE the floods of two weeks ago the
mail service has been greatly embarrass-
ed, and delays inevitable. The Penn
sylvania is the great carrier of mails
between the East and West. Round
about transit was necessary, but even
that was slower than it would otherwise
have been because of the fact that all
of the lines between Ohio and the sea-
board suffered from the floods. Under
the circumstances, the service was bet
ter than could reasonably have been ex-
pected, and it is small business for par
tisan papers, like the Bellaire Democrat,
to undertake to make political capital
out of such a calamity.

the nomination of a ticket that will in
spire the confidence and awaken the

necessary to print biography in the
