A CapltOllan Sensation.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The sensation
at tho national capital to-day was the
flight Of q. Il. Silcott, the cashier IN
the Sergcnt-at-Arms Office, with
about $4,000 belonging to Hon. John
2. Locdom, the Sergeant-at-Arms Of
the House OF Representatives.
The facts are simply these: Under
the law, the Sergeantat-Arms of the
House is not disbursing officer Of the
Government. He simply draws
from the Treasury, about the first of
each month, enough money to pay the
members of Congress their monthly
salaries. lie draws this money upon
the receipt of the members, and IL
usually amounts from 100000, This
money Is placed TO the credit of the
members, exactly as Ia done In bank.
Soma Of the members promptly draw
all the salary that is due them, while
others only draw .yhatthey need. In
other words, the Office ofthe Sergeant
alarms Is the private clearinghouse
of the members of Congress. and they
are the same as private depositors in
bank. Some of them have several
thousand dollars on deposit, others
nothing; and 1t is frequently the case
that members have overdrawn their
accounts. Thus IL will be seen that
Silcott's making off with the money is
nOt a rohhqrv nf tho Eavorumaut mr.
of Government funds, but purely and
simply robbery of his employer, the
Sergeant-at-Arms, who is solely, with
his bondsmen, responsible for the ras-
cality of his trusted agent and conf
dental friend. The Government Is in
no wise responsible for the loss. It
falls directly upon the Sergeant-at-
Arms and his bondsmen, and the
members of Congress who are out of
pocket must look in that quarter for
their money.

enforcement of those already existing
and that the prayer for the coming OF
Christ's Kingdom ON earth, which
Christians have been repeating daily
for $500 years, would be sooner grant
ed?
The second argument | got from
Frances Willard and is this. The great
est danger now threatening our civil
and religious liberty is the incoming
hordes Of ignorant and lawless foreign
ers who are pouring into the United
States at the rate Of city full day.
II takes but simple calculation to find
how loug 1t will be before they out
number us and, under our Constitu-
tion, make the laws for our Govern
ment. Our statesmen stand aghast at
the problem confronting them. IL
would be useless to ask of our present
voting population an amendment to
the Constitution regulating and re-
stricting suffrage. The ignorant and
vicious would not consent to disfran-
chise themselves. The remedy Is, to
give women the right to vote, restrict
ed by an educational qualification, or
whatever is deemed best. God forbid
that this, the highest privilege of citi-
zenship should ever again be conferred
without restriction. The qualified
women voters could then assist the
thoughtful, good men to place restric-
tions on the men. The present is our
opportunity. The native American
women now outnumber the foreigners,
but this state of things cannot last.
Dear Mr. Editor, | am ashamed of
the length Of this article, but | will not
come again soon unless | go to the
Club meeting at Mr.. Campbelps, and
then may tell you what they say if
you won't give me away this time.
Greenville, Dec. 10. -.
Our correspondent is over-difiident
In avowing his, or her, faith. There
is a fast growing sentiment in favor of
at least qualified woman's suffrage as
measure of simple justice which
could be, as II has been In some locali-
ties, adopted without any sort of inju-
ry to the State, or society. Upon any
fair consideration II seems positive
wrong to Withhold from women who
own property in State, voice In the
choice of officers who enact laws affect
ing this property, who administer the
revenues of government derived there
from. As to the objection of contact at
the polls with matters and men which
offend, that could be easily avoided by
permitting duly authenticated vote by
proxy, by the establishment in prop
er localities of separate polling places.
A provision of female suffrage, limi-
ted as stated, has its value in the con-
sidcration of the question of new
constitution. Permitting as Il would
the enfrsnchisement of more than one
half the adult white female population,
this would have u most beneficial bear
ing upon the race problem. 1t would
restore and guarantee numerical white
preponderance of electors, without
being even constructivcly violative of
the reconstruction amendments and
acts.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Editer Commercial Herald

Editer Commercial Herald:
While the State has passed many
good laws regulating the practice Of
medicine, constituting boards of health,
punishment for cruelty to animals, ETC.,
all tending to higher degree of ad-
vancement and civilization In moral
refinement, still there remains much to
be done by future legislators that will
place them as high in the scale Of cul-
tivated neral sublimity as the work of
the past has rendered Its votaries truly
hUmanitarians. There is nothing now
that ie.''.sl,s;'1ly oa..-".I.,.; for redress and
prompt action Aps doeA the diseases
and suffering or domesic animals.
At present In OUR largest communities
there is no one (who processes VIKING
really scientific of the diseases Of tbsso
dumb brutes, and yet the oborse doc'
tor can be found at all times and
places with the most vile remedies in
almost every instance either ont
rageously cruel or equally inefTectnai
Outside of the suffering and loss bv
death, of valuable ANIMALS tho gre., =,
pecuniary loss will aggregate thous-
ands of dollars.
Should q horse be attacked with
staggers, who knows, the pathology of
this disease to be brain affection and
can apply appropriate remedies? or in
cases of collie the commonest Of all
troubles, and one frequently fatal, who
knows 1t to be due to irritating ingesta,
the removal of which will effect speedy
relief? Or in any other disease COM
mon to brutes In the absence of some
enc skilled in this department of sci
ence, whom must we trust? On ne one
can we rely from the fact that people
have not the slightest idea Of such
things aud skilled veterinarians find
larger fields in populous cities. u this
dilemma know of no other plan that
would be feasible than the establish
ment of chair of veterinary medicine
and surgery in the A. and NJ. College
at Starkvillo. Hundreds of our most
worthy young men receive instruction
at this fount Of knowledge and as a
general rule they are those whose life
work will be devoted to the interest of
planting. and as consequence will
have more or less to do with all kinds
of stock. If they could receive instruc-
tlon In the pathology diseases and
treatment of domestic animals, how
valuable would this be, not alone to
themselves but to others. Whatever
they might accomplish in this study
would be just SO much gained although
full course might be received. When
ever it is desired special instruction
might be given and thoroughness at
tanned. feel certain that many
students would avail themselves of this
opportunity, and In short while every
community weuld be supplied with
scientific knowledge on this most i'm
portant subject.

Vetetans, Militia, and Sons Of
Veterans Form an Imposing Ret
inue.
The ceremonies of the day were
largely centerd in the afternoon parade.
This was announced to start at two
o'clock, and punctual to the hour the
procession began to move. 1t was a
noticeable train. Lieut.. Budy led with
the mounted police, and following the
Great Western band, with imposing
majesty. came Chief Marshal, Gen. J.
W. Bishop; Chief of Staff. Gen. j. j.
McCardy, and aides. Lieut.. Col. Albert
Scheffer, d. l.. Kingsbury and w. Cum
ningiiam. The procession was made up
of three divisions. First, and properly
so, came the members of the G. A. r.,
with Gen. M. d. Flower as Marshal.
The Acker. Garfield, Bircher, Ord and
Putnam Posts, g. A. r., and Mime
sofa naval veterans were rep
resented, and they made up
on interesting group. The veterans
bare evident signs of the hard usage OF
time, and many have entered the ''sere
and yellow leaf" Their day is almost
DER, and in marching to do honor to
the memory OF their comrades In arms,
the thought was uppermost Of how soon
they must also ''sleep the sleep that
knows no awakening" Col. Bend was
the marshal of the second division,
which was composed of Companies
D, c and E, of the First regiment.
Tie Merriam Zouaves brought up the
rear, and in their scarlet and blue uni
forms attracted much attention. In the
third division, with 1. II. Beebe as
marshall, there were the Sons Of Veter-
ans, Deuthe krieger yerein and citizens
in carriages. Dr.. Murphy, who is
never absent from a G. A. r. ceremo-
NAL, was perched high up on the box
of an express wagon. The line of
route was st. Peter, Fifth and Jackson
streets to Oakland cemetery. These
streets were crowded with people to
witness the parade, which. collectively,
presented an imposing sight, and, with
the martial elang of bands, was quite
exhilarating.

the peace of a Robert street saloon, for
which they will rOom at the W0rkhOnSe
the entire month of June. William
Maniey got very drunk and while en-
gagged in a vociferous debate with
lamp post, he was arrested and given

CORRIDOR CHAT.

Ex-Congressman j. L. Macdonald
stood in the Clifton yesterday evening
and talked in a most interesting manner
ON variety Of topics Of national inn
portance. including the personality Of
President Harrison and the Behring sea
fishery question. In reference to the
president, Mr.. Macdonald said: "He
is most ordinary man. a lawyer of fair
ability and of fairly good practice,
man of exemplary moral character,
strict Presbyterian of the most ortho-
dox type, man who cannot
see a Joke until driven IN with
hammer. He is stubborn,
Of strong will. and will run the govern
ment in his own way. Blaine will GER
tainly not Influence him, and when he
wants to appoint any man to any Office
he is going to do it, senators and con-
gressmen to tht. contrary .lOtWithStand-
ing. He is determined to be just as big
d mugwunp, in, the popular sense Of the
word, as Cleveland was, and will keep
men in Office till their terms are Out
that IS to say if he sees fit to. But he.
will run the government his own way
and will be found to be like mule in
many ways"
Ex-Congressman Mac Donald it will
be remembered was member OF the
fisheries commission, and is wen posted
on affairs in Behring sea. '.rhere is
liable to be trouble up there" said he,
(which will in all probability have to
be settled by arbitration. The state of
affairs is briefly this: The Alaska Com
merciai company has contract with
the United States government. which
contract has two more years to run.
This gives it the sole right to fish on st.
Paul and St. George Islands in the Aleu-
tian group. They pay tax to the govern
ment of so much per skin. and the in
come from this tax has already
amounted to enough to more than equal
the price paid to Russia by the United
States for Alaska. The seals come in
for the breeding season. When the
young seal are old enough to be alone
for tWenty-four hours, the COWS swim
off across the sea to some Of the further
islands to fish, returning in from eight
cen to tWenty-four house. during
which time they frequently cover.
distance of over 2D0 miles. Ii
is during this trip across i,thG
sea that these piratieal fishers kill
them. They enter the sea. post a man
at the masthead to look out for inter-
ruption. send out their boats with men
and natives from the main land with
shotguDs- They used to shoot the seals
with rifles, but found they sank so
quickly on being killed, that now they
only wound them with shot and kill
them when caught. The fur company
has right to ask the protection Of the
government with which it has its con-
tract"
The international question involved
is one of very old standing. The Rus
sian government claimed that Behring
sea was an inland sea, and England con-
ceded the point. The United States
has made the same claim. and the point
has again been conceded: bnt i am
afraid the point could not be main
tanned before an arbitration committee,
as the sea is only land locked by the
Alentian islands. many of which are so
far apart that midway between them
you cannot see land. I consider
the point rather far fetched,

THEY sTREW FLOWERS.

Graves Of Heroes are Decorated
by Loving Hands.
The days proceedings were inaugur-
ated by that touching ceremony of dec
Grating the graves Of war veterans.
Members of the q. A. r. were notice
bic for their early appearance on the
streets, clothed in their becoming uni
forms of blue and peaked hats. They
assembled on st. Peter street. and there
were divided into four detachments.
There attachments were to cover Oak
land, Calvary, the old Lutheran and
the new Lutheran cemeteries, where
graves of all old veterans had been
marked out by miniature copies of the
national flag-the flag under which they
had faced the very horrors of death. The
duty was lovingly undertaken, the
G. A. r. men being assisted by a few
Sons Of Veterans and several ladies.
The latter carried baskets of lovely
flowers, bestrewing them over each lit
tie mound containing the dust Of the
brave spirit which once animated the
mortal body. There were 154 graves in
Oakland cemetery, sixty-seyen in Cal
vary cemetery, seven i'll the Lutheran
cemetery and four in New Lutheran
cemetery. By 10 O'Clock the tributes
had been deposited, and the flowers Of
affection and reverence were smiling
under the heavens, robbing the silent
grave of its gloom.
