Major E. A. Burke, ex-State Treasurer of
Louisiana, who is under indictment for
fraudulently issuing State bonds to largo
amount, and whose whereabouts since his
hasty departure from England have been un,
known, has turned up in Honduras. Hon.
duras has no extradition treaty with the
United States, which undoubtedly ace ounts
for the Majors selection of that country as
e. place of permanent abode. When the
Majors fraudulent transactions were first
discovered he protested his innocence and
insisted that he was going right back to
Louisiana to explain everything. Calmer
reflection appears to have induced him to
change his mind ana his destination also.

A Young American.

good way to learn to love any country is to be born In it. At any rate, children born ill America, no matter what their foreign percentage, are usually decided little Ameri- cans. They soon get "digested into" Ameri- can life as Wendell Phillips used to phrase 1t which is the best possible thing for all parties concerned.
 The editor of Our Youth says he was one day seated in the barber's chair, while the knight of the scissors was waving his weap- ons over his head, when little boy came into the room.
 Tho barber spoke to the lad in German; the boy answered in English, whereupon the said, II haf to lick that little poy to make him shpeak Cherman. I shpeak to him in Cherman und he efery time dalks English. De oder day he wouldn't dalSe his dinner to schgool in n Cherman paper, und he makes his moder puy him The New York Sun for two cents to made a kite mid, ven he could have a Cherman paper for nodings."
 That sturdy little American-Germanb boy taught Us lesson-that though today we may have Germans, Irish, Swedes, Italians upon our shores, tomorrow their children will all be Americans.-Y outh's Companion.

Benefits of Co-Operative Banking.

Speaking of the benefits of the cooperative bank system, ono who is familiar with its workings and results says: 'The savings of the mechanic and laboring man are neces- sarily limited and, in the ordinary way of laying by a little now and then they may get discouraged on account of the length of timo necessary to accumulate sufficient to accom- plish their desires, and arc very likely to give up in despair when year after year passes and they still see the object far off. But with the assistance rendered by tho union of individ- uals exactly in tho same condition of life with himself, he can command in the be- ginning of practical life, the means which
 without this union, would require years of toll and self denial; and then he would only arrive at the ideal of his mind when his capacity for its enjoyment would have passed the meridian, and his pathway, in consequence of years of toll, is necessarily downward. Here he begins at the end, as it were, and secures the benefits of years of saving before he has made any accumula- tion; and in hquidating his engagements with the association only returns thereto what he would have to pay landlord for rental, while feeling that only for a short time is this necessary, and then his obliga- tions arc ended, renders it a comparatively easy task; for he is working to the end he wishes to attain, and there is positive, moral certainty that he will and can reach it. How much better, then, for every man who is within reach of Gfasss, great and good inStitu- tions to connect himself herewith and secure his own independence, end thus feel con scious that his energies have not been ex- pended i'll producing an income for tho sup port of another to the exclusion of his own person and family. .n-Boston Herald.

You may say, We'll, there Is no harm in that Mo- there Is not, but the younsters cause all the trouble.

IT appears after all that Senator Ali son is not favorable to the reduction of the tax on tin plates, but that on the contrary he favors an increase in the duties on the ground ostensibly that such increase would induce domestic manufacturers to go into the business and so give employment to home labor. He fails to take into account the thou sands and thousands of persons who are to be taxed in order that few men may have an opportunity of going into busi- ness and a few more may be able to get employment at alleged protective wa ges. Mir Allison's ideas of justice are about as clouded as those of the average Connecticut republican who would set bis face solidly against any reforms in our present election and representative system. Allison is blinded by partisan devotion to war taxes.

shape in the construction of an oIigi- notifications of the bill already framed by Representative Wolfe of New Haven. We know of no man in the legislature who is better equipped to wrestle with the problem of devising an acceptable secret ballot system, and if he would turn his thoughts to the matter the dem ocrats would be certain to have a meas ure on which they could go with conti- dence to the republican major ity and demand its passage. Mir O'Neil is likely to be regarded as the leader of the demo- cratic side of the house-a position for which he is eminently fitted by his knowl- edge of law and parliamentary tactics, his ready wit and unvarying tact, ,!his facility of expression and ability as a debater- and it would be peculiarly fitting, there fore. that he should assume the offensive in favor of d secret ballot. Both parties are committed to ballot reform, and there is no reason why some means to thlS end Snoulu not pe auopteu ny tue present legislature.
 If Representative O'Neill shall identify himself prominently with secret ballot legislation, bending his great abil- ities to the adoption of an acceptable system, he will have conferred benefit on his constituency and the state un- surpassed by any that may emanate which his name and fame are certain to be associated

ONE OF THE RIGHT SORT.

Representative John O'Neill of this city has cut out for himself a busy time in the legislature-also for those who may not be disposed to agree with all his legislative ideas. Already several bills have been matched from his busy brain which are likely to be among the most important matters to come up at this session-and there are more coming
 His employers liability act, his grade crossings bill, the provision for union depot in this city and his proposed col lateral inheritance act are likely to fur nish interesting material for thought and labor to the members of the several committees to whom they will be specially relegated, as well as the mem- bers of the assembly at large who will be asked to pass final judgment on the various measures. There is no question that the proposed enactments are de- signed in the public interest as Mir O'Neill understands it, and though his measures are not likely all to go through, in their present form at least there is little doubt that they will be presented and urged with all the vigor and ability which their author has displayed in the past
 Mir O'Neill is a legislator of the right sort He is not content with the per functory discharge of duty that suggests itself to some as an excuse for drawing their salaries
 but has started in with the purpose of employing his great abilities to the best advantage of his constituents and the state. As leading light of the legal fraternity, equipped with the ex- parience of many years practice in the courts, he may be trusted to originate such measures as will be promotive of the greatest good to the greatest num- Der. We would like to suggest to Mr O'Neill that he give some attention to the matter of secret ballot-not the or dinary attention which as member of the house and judiciary committee he would be disposed to give in any event, but a special attention that might take

THE presidents sister Rose it is an- nounced has a new novel in the works. The story is said to be based upon her experiences in Washington society and is filled with satire of gentle but etfec- tive kind There is murder iu the plot, presidential election, a crisis in the senate, a divorce case and various minor incidents of an interesting char acter, In spite of these sensational fea- lures the novel is written in a highly intellectual vein, and is said by those who have read it to recall the style of George Eliot.
