The st. Paul Dispatch, of March 9, has
this to say of Mr.. w. j. Freaney, formerly
a well-knOwn resident of Indianapolis, now
located at ST. Paul: "A recent dispatch
from Washington mentions the name of
Mr.. William J. Freaney, of this city, as a,
possible appOintee to the office of inspector
of steam boilers. We have no knowledge
whatever as to the authenticity of the
statement, nor of the attitude which Mr..
Freaney desires to occupy in regard to the
appointment. We simply know that gen.
tleman as prominent business man OF this
city, whose citizenship is of the caliber to
call forth the willing sacrifice of his time,
money and personal energies on behalf of
the public, and who, when work was need
ed on behalf of good government and of
the continued ascendancy of the Republic
an party, was one of the few men willing
to step aside for the time from his money
making pursuits and do that work. He is
not, nor has he been. in receipt of any
emOlument from politics, and, happily for
himself, he is very evidently in need of
none. Since his name has been mentioned
at all in connection with a public Office,
we are anxious to see him appointed to
that Office-anxious because we believe him
to be a patriotic and disinterested citizen.
whose appointment would be material
gain to the public service" e.-is

A WORD ABOUT CATARRH.

sit is the mucous membrane, that wonderful
semifuid envelope surrounding the delicate It's
sues of the air and food passages, that catarrh
makes its stronghold Once established it eats
into the very vitals and renders life but long
drawn breath of misery ana disease, dulling the
sense Of hearing, trammelng the power of
speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tainting
the breath, and killing the refined pleasures Of
taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from simple
cold in the head, it assaults the membraneous lin
ing and envel0ps the bones, eating through the
delicate coats and causing Inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradica-
ton will secure health to the patient, and all al
leviatives are simply prOcrastinated sufferings,
leading to a fatal termination Sanford's Radi-
cal Cure, by inhalation and by internal admins

has made frightful inroads on delicate constitu-

A Specimen of the Mississippi Plan.


Col. III. c. Powers, of Starkville, Miss,
who is in Washington at the present time,
tells of a precinct in his neighborhOOd in
which, in 1880, there were 160 colored Re-
publicans and twelve white Democrats.
On election day the cOlOred men all voted
for Garfield and the whites for Hancock.
In the evening the white men took the bal
lOt-bOx under consideration and decided
that the proper thing was to reverse the
started down the road with the box.
1--WE been wondering" said one of them,
whether we did just the right thing about
those votes"
This rather staggered the party. 1t looked
like treason to suggest that anything
wrong had been done. When they expOstu-
lated with him he said:
Il reckon you don't understand me, boys.
What / was wondering was whether we did
right to give the niggers the twelve votes"
All controversy was warded off by the
party opening the box and throwing out
the twelve ballots.
Colonel Powers says this is not fish
story.

School Fund Loans.

State Superintendent of Schools LaFol-
lette left yesterday afternoon to look after
some of the loans of school funds made in
Crawford, Knox and other counties in the
State. 1t is alleged in some instances loans
were placed upon insufficient security, not
through any fault of the auditors but by
reason of the mismanagement of appraisers
who have in charge the valuation of the
lands on which loans are made. The law
is explicit that loans shall only be
made to the extent of fifty
per cent. of the value of lands offered with
out counting improvements thereon, but in
some cases lands have been accepted on an
appraisement of SO an acre, where their
real value was not One-fifth OF that amount.
In such cases the excuse usually is that the
appraisers valued the wrong property. In
case of loss the county is held for the
amount, and superintendent LaFOllette
has already collected over 100000 from
counties that were compelled to make up
the shortages on such loans.

DOings in the State Offices, and the Outlook
for Money for the General Fund.
Most of the clerical force in the different
State offices yesterday were engaged in
recording papers connected with the legis-
lative sessions, and several persons were
busy making copies for outside use. In the
Governors Office the vetOes sent to the
Legislature are being prepared for publ
cation in pamphlet form. 1t will make a
substantial volume, filled with interesting
summer reading, for Democratic use. The
situation i'm the State Treasurer's Office re-
mains the same as last week, so far as the
absence of money, in the general fund is
concerned. Treasurer Lemcke stated that
he had written to the treasurers of several
counties to ascertain the prospect for pos
sible advances from them, but had no hope
of any relief until the loan authorized by
the Legislature was secured. State Auditor
Carr is issuing no warrants, for the reason
that there is no money with which to pay
them, and the warrants issued to
members of the Legislature are being
cashed by the banks and others at dis
counts averaging about per cent.
The proposals issued for bids on the new
loan announce that all bids must be filed
by the sd inst, and as the bonds will have
to be Ii thOgraphed and delivered subse-
quent to that date, it is likely that it will
be some time next month before their pro-
ceeds can be placed to the State Treasurer's
credit. There is likely to be no additional
inconvenience, however. resulting to the
State institutions on this account, as no
warrants would be issued to those in
