THE BOND STEAL.

The whole State is now thoroughly
aroused on the bond question. As
each day adds to the development
public interest i. intensified until all
other subjects are dwarfed in COM
parison. 1t IS not yet known wheth-
er the amount involved is a million
or only tenth of that sum, but
whatever it is, it is clear that the
State has been robbed.
At the time this article is written
it is believed that the grand jury OF
Orleans parish has returned no less
than nine indictments against ex-
treasurer E. A. Burke for embezzle-
ment Of public funds. This is done
on testimony furnished by Messrs.
Marsh Stoddard, ex-cashier of the
State treasury, and W. B. Stansbury,
former confidential friend and agent
of Major Burke. But the friends OF
the ex-treasurer have not yet dis
paired of bis innocence. 1t must be
remembered that Major Burke has
not yet spoken in his own behalf.
Much Of the testimony already offer
ed may not be thoroughly reliable,
and even if it is. there may be an
explanation of it. At any and all
events, those who have trusted the
ex-treasurer in the past, who have
admired him, and who have ap-
plauded his efforts to build up the
material interests Of the State, are
unwilling to condemn him unheard
They have an abiding faith that he
will prove that all is right, and that
he is not to blame.
But what has disconnected and dis
appointed Major Burke's friends
more than anything else is his re-
peated declarations that he would
come, and his repeated failure te
leave England. Saturday last it wal
telegraphed that he had left on Tho
steamship Etruria. It turns cut that
he did not leave. 1t is now said that
he left on the steamer Teutonic OF
Wednesday last, and it is to be hopet
for his own sake that he is now OF
that vessel en- route for this country
II is true be had the best of excuses
his wife has been seriously ILL.,, ant
his business affairs required som'
days to be put in proper shape fo1
biz departure. But even with thes'
explanations Of his failure % leave
the public 10 growing impatient
When Il man in charged with down
right robbery as Major Burke is
there must be soasc extraoFdinar,
reason. for his failure to return ane
boldly meet his accussrs.
The BEACON still insists and be
loves that the ex-treasurer is nj
guilty Of the crimes now charged
against him. It 10 uncomfortable tha

A lady who visited Hooley's theatre the
other evening suffered through tho first act
Of the play with exceedingly tight Shoes
When the curtain fell she conaded her suffer-
ings to her husband, and he suggested that
she slyly remove her shoes till the perform
ance was over. This she did, and the conse-
quent relief afforded her allowed her proper
enjoyment of the other acts. When tho cur
tain went down for the last time she discov-
cred to her horror that her feet had 30 swollen
In the warm atmosphere Of tho house that
abe could not get tho tight shoes even On
her toes. As they had only to walk to the
fremont house, and as the lady had ON
black stockings, her husband told her to do
tho shoes UP In her programme and walk
along as though nothing had happened. This
sho did, and they started to move out slowly
with the crowd The lady walked along
comfortably until near the door, when she
suddenly began to jump and cnvort around
as though mad. Her stockinged feet had
struck an exceedingly warm register, and the
heat had curied her feet out Of shape during
her brief sojourn on It. When she struck the
stone sidewalk outside chill replaced the
feverish feeling, and when she reached the
fremont she swore never to wear tight shoes
to the theatre again. Chicago Herald.
