A Republican Conspiracy.
rSpecial to Tines-Democrat. |

Especial to Tines-Democrat.
Washington, Nov. 24.-There is a
movement ON foot by which the Re-
publicans of the House propose to OBJ
tain a good working majority from
the very start. II is no less than this /:
When the members are being sworn
in some Republican will move at the
proper time to seat the one Maryland
and the three West Virginia contest
ants, who will, of course, be on hand.
There is.a precedent for such course.
John Quincy Adams, when in the
House, made such q motion In favor
of New Jersey contestant, and il was
carried by the House. The Clerk in
that instance hesitated about putting
the motion, but II was decided that
the Clerk had no discretion in tho mat
ter. If this plan is carried out 1t will
give the Republicans majority of
sixteen at the organization, their pres
emf majority being eight. There is a
good deal of discussion as 10 whether
the Democrats could fllibuster against
such a motion; there being no organ
ization, of course there would be no
rules.

THE BABY BOND FRAUDS.
IPIcayune.l

ttot thbsl
The long expected report on the
baby bond frauds was made public by
the Grand Jury yesterday and adds
another link to the chain of evidence
against Ex-Treasurer Burke. There
has alwas been moro or less suspicion
attached to the bsdy bond issue, and
when the frauds were discovered in
the consolidated and constitutional
bonds of the State the conclusion was
at once jumped at by the public that
an investigation of the bady bonds
would also develop glaring irregulari-
ties.
Tho Grand jury report shows that
the general impression was In every
way correct, as conclusive evidence
was discovered that $4,000 of the
baby bonds have been illegally issued.
The whole system followed in print
ing and issuing bady bonds was SO ir-
regular that no one need marvel at the
III repute into which the bonds had
fallen long before the treasury frauds
were unearthed. The fraudulent cir
culation OF these bonds was safe and
easy matter for the ex-Treasurer, and
presented none of the dangers connect
ed with the placing on the market Of
the regular per cent bonds.
The fact that Major Burke retained
in his possession the plates from which
the bonds were printed admits of the
suspicion that perhaps he used them to
manufacture more bonds than the
Grand Jury has accounted for.
The actual facts are bad enough
however, without branching off into
mere speculation, hence for the present
1t will be safe to accept the Grand
Jury's estimate as covering the whole
illegal issue Of bady bonds.
Adding the amount ofthe latest dis
covery to the previous total of tn,
bond frauds II will be found that tht
State Treasury has been robbed alto

Opposition 70 Bruce's Appointment.
Especial to Times-Democrat.1


Washington, Nov. 24.-The local
press yoicing the public sentiment of
the District, are very indignant over
the intimation that the President pro-
poses to appoint ex-senator Bruce as
Recorder of Deeds.
Their opposition is based upon the
facts: First, that Bruce is not resi-
dent of the District, although living
here and owning properte here; and
second, that he is colored man.
If in spite of the local opposition,
and In order to alleviate the discomfort
of the colored vote, the President in
sists upon making the appointment a
movement viii at once be set ID motion
abolishing the fees and making II a
salaried office.

Il Is probable that The fun amount
of the bond steal Is now known. and
this portion of the investigation has
doubtless been concluded for the pre-
sent. The amount of rascality devel-
oped In the bond frauds, however, has
made almost any sort of irregularity
possible, hence it is impossible TO fore
tell what crookedness the investigation
into the warrant accounts may develop.

An Open Letter to The Kings Daughters.

| know the crops in this section are
short and that In consequence there is
a general depression in business.
People may not feel as able to give Is
they do in ordinary seasons, yet the
demands of charity are proportionally
great. Hard times press more sorely
upon the poor and they feel more keen
ly the pangs of want than those who
are well to do or comfortably fixed.
The Bible tells US that the poor we
have always with US. There are many
deserving poor people In our midst
who could and ought to be helped, and
now that the Christmas season ap.
proaches, let us try to make the occa-
sion as joyous and happy as possible
for them and their little ones.
Memphis aud other cities are pursu-
ing this course and are taking steps to
collect and distribute among tho poor,
coal, wood, food, clothes, etc, for the
Christmas holidays. Grenada should
not be behind her sister cities In this
great matter of charity.
Iwould suggest to the Kings Daugh-
ters, having confidence in their organ
ization and work. that they go around
among the merchants and others of
our town who are charitably disposed
and solicit donations for tho purpose
of distribution among our needy peo-
pic. A load of wood. barrel or two
Of coal or few provisions and some
clothing, would add to the relief OF
many destitute homes and throw ray
of sunshine into many dropping hearts.
Give to the poor and make the coming
Christmas season one of Joy and hope.
This is noble object, aud one which
| trust will justify the liberty take in
addressing this letter to our noble
Grenada women.
Faithfully yours,
MAX GINsBURGER,

ADIsease breeding Pool.

"Why don't you call attention of some
body to the horrible condition of Wheel
ing creek?" asked a South Side citizen
of a reporter yesterday.
The question was a timely one, to be
sure, as all who have seen that stencil
producing ditch known as the creek will
agree. The stones which once formed
a graceful bridge across the creek at Main
street are now piled up into an unsightly
mass in the bed of the creek, forming a
dam which prevents what water there is
in the creek from flowing into the river.
over this water, which has become black
and stagnant, thick green scum, full of
disease, has formed, and for place that
would make an elephant i'll even to lcok
at it. without inhaling the stencil that ar
rises, the alleged creek takes the stale
bread. Why doesn't the Board OF Public
Works or some other body with authority
have a passage way made through this
dam and let out the filthy water?

and every nook and corner has been as

exhibits. Mention was made few days

Arrangements were concluded yesterday

These will both be attractions of interest
TO all visitors at the Fair, whether spee-

the Association deserves credit for its en-

They Were Having a TIms 3.

At about $3.50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the neighbors of an East Eud family
heard noise in the residence of the said
family, and knowing the old folks to be
away they thought burglars might be at
work, so they kindly notified the police.
But an investigation showed that the
burglars were two young men and they
were having high old time with the two
girls of the house. The next time they
indulge in such racket perhaps they will
do it all on the quiet.
