Maryland's Defaulting Treasurer.

Several days ago it was announced that
Stevenson Archer, treasurer OF the state of
Maryland, was defaulter. His friends
hoped, however, that there was some mis-
take about the announcement and they
waited patiently for the report of the com
mittee of the legislature that was appointed
to investigate his accounts. Oar dispatches
yesterday stated that the committee had
made report adverse to the treasurer. 1t
now the duty of the governor of the state to
have him prosecuted for malfeasance in
Office
The exact amount of the treasurer's
shortage is not known, but there is no doubt
that 1t is very large. IL it does not reach
100000 it will not probably fall much be-
low that amount. It seems that he engaged
in hazardous speculations with the states
money and lost. He was anxious to be rich
and was tempted to commit crime. He
took very little of the states money at first,
doubtless, and was led to take more by the
hope of recovering what he had lost.
Treasurer Archer's career had been a verv
honorable one until he began to rob the
state. No other man in Maryland had
more friends, and no other maa was mora
ready to help his friends. The discovery of
his wrong-doing therefore produced a
profound sensation in Maryland. His
bondsmen are bound to the extent of
100000. Some of them will find it pretty
hard work to pay their share OF the amount.
There has been a sort of epidemic of de-
falcation5 among state treasurers recently.
1t is certain that legislatures do not take as
great precaution as they should to protect
the moneys of the state. A strict investi-
CATION of the treasurers' offices of soma of
the other states might disclose a very sensa-
| tional condition of affairs. The recent de-
falcations of state treasurers would car
tainly justify investigations of that kind.

The Farmers Becoming Aroused.

The farmers are demanding more recog-
milton from the law makers than they have
heretofore. They are very much in earnest.
They are making themselves acquainted
with national questions which directly af-
feet them. They purpose to find out what
measures will benefit them most, and it is
safe to say that designing politicians will
experience very decided shock if they at
tempt to deceive them.
An evidence of this was given in last falls
elections in Iowa, Ohio and other states.
In Iowa democrat and tariff reformer was
elected governor, and Senator Allison, who
framed the Senate tariff bill of the republi-
cans in 1888, narrowly escaped being re-
tired to private life He has since discov-
cred that his tariff bill of 1888 would not
begin to do now. In Ohio the tariff issue
was not so prominent, but it had consider
able influence in the election of a democratic
governor and legislature.
While the farmers are talking about diff
ferent plans for the betterment of their ma
terial condition they should bear in mind
that it is to the Democratic party that they
must look for aid The Republican party
never was the friend of the farmer 1t is
bound over to the monopolies, from which
it receives great financial aid in national
campaigns, and it isn't going to do anything
that Will cause the monopolies to turn
against it. 1t is not, like the Democratic
party, the party of the people, and the
farmers will make long stride toward i'm
provementif they help to place every branch
of the government in the hands of the dem
ocrats. With a dem ocratic congress and
President, tariff reform after the Cleveland
idea would be assured, and after all there is
nothing that would so much help the
farmers as tariff reform. Some of the plans
now under discussion may be very good
ones, but at the bottom of many of the ills
of the farmers is the oppressive tariff, and
those who really desire to help the farmers
will keep that fact in mind.

Plain Words TO a Boston Preacher.

Plsin Words 20 a Boston Preacher.
Rev. DR.. Gregg, a welI-meaning minister
of the gospel IN Boston, worked himself
into a passion during the delivery Of a
sermon in his chur h on the negro question
a week ago last Sunday, aud went 50 far as
Il say that to the defense of the rights Of
the blacks in the south he consecratei his
head, his neart, his purse, his time, his
patriotism, ami his riils. OF course, he did
not know anything of the subject Of which
he was speaking. But. having read the re-
publican newspapers Of Boston, he thought
he did, and be therefore proceeded TO give
his hearers his false lmpressio-s 5.
The editor Of the Boston Globe who had
Just returned from visit to the south. aud
who had seen the blacks at home, aud knew
how they were treated, addressed the Rev.
DIR. Gregg an opsn letter, which we pub
lish elsewhere IN this issue. The reading Of
ashamed Of himself if he is an honest man,
and seeks only to preach the truth.
The editor of the Globe points out that
the blacks of the south are better off than
the blacks in. Boston, and that there are
more occupations and ways for making
living open 20 them. He declares that there
is as much prejudice in Boston against the
blacks as there is anywhere in the south, and
that in that city, which has always pre-
tended TO be the friend of the blacks,
black man can only be barber, waiter,
bootblacls or porter. The blacks in Boston
are not found in the pews with the whites
in the churches, they are not the part
ners of the whites in business, they do
not walk with the whites in the
street, they do not visit the
club of the whites and they are not ad-
mitted to the mechanical trades.
Very properly the editor of the Globe
suggests that Dr. Gregg had better devote
himself to the improvement of the condi-
ton of the blacks in Boston, and let the
southern people settle the race problem in
their section i'll their own way. There ara
many people like this DR.. Gregg who at
tack other people for things of which they
themselves are guilty. 1t is to be hoped
that DR.. Gregg will heed the suggestions of
the editor of the Globe.

Mr.. McKi.ley and His Tariff BIN.

MIR. Mckinley and His Tariff Bill.
The impression in Washington appears to
be that Mr.. Mckinley and his ways and
means committee have framed e tariff bill
that has no chance whatever Of becoming a
law in It's present shape. All the democrats
viii oppose it, aud many republicans will
not vote for certain features of it. The re-
publican congressman from Kansas object
to the very large reduction in the daty on
sugar, because they hope that
their state VIII soon become a
large sugar-proiucing STATE, and the re-
publican congressman from Massachusetts,
and several other states, in which there are
large shoe factories. object to the duty on
hides There are other features that do
not meet the approval of quito a number of
other republican congressman. The re-
publcms have very slender majority in
the House, and they will nes1 all of their
votes to pass tariff bill The Mckinley
bill, in its present shape, cannot command
anywhere near all the republican votes, and it
may, therefore, be very safely assumed that
there will be no tariff legislation during
this congress, because the indications are
that the bill cannot be. so changed as to
give general satisfaction to the republicans
In speaking of his bill, Mr.. Mckinley was
reported in our dispatches yesterday t.
have said that the tariff was system. and
it must stand or fall as such. He said this
in explanation of the action of his commit
tee in taking hides from the free list and
making them dutiable. He also intimated
that hides were made dutiable to satisfy
the west.
From this it seems that the system to
which Mr. Mckinley had reference was
that which requires tariff legislation to be
shaped so as to control the largest number
Of votes. Hides have been on the free list
for long time and the shoe manufacturing
industry has become very prosperous. The
west demands that hides shall be made
dutiable and several Of the eastern states
object Mr. Mckinley decided that the
Republican party would be benefited more
by Welding to the west than by pleasing the
east The tariff system therefore was made
to serve the interests Of the Republican
party.
The Mckinley bill is not satisfactory even
to his own party. aud the more it is studied
the greater the dissatisfaction will become
1t is said that it provides for reduction of
S4j 600, 600 in the revenues. With the ex-
cepsion of the reduction in the duty on
sugar it is doubtful if it provides for a re-
duction in the revenues worth noticing.
How great failure it is will appear pretty
clearly when the discussion of it begins.

Ex-Minister CHARLES H. j. Taylor wants
the best colored men IN the south to meet in
convention and express few opinions. He
was disguised with the "Atro-American"
convention in Chicago, and also with the
other conventions which were ordered by
white republican leaders. He wants colored
men like Bishop Turner to meet and discuss
the race question with the intention of
benefiting the colored people rather than
the Republican party. His idea is an ex-
cellent one, and it ought to be put into
execution.

State Senator Fassett. of New York, is
prominently mentioned as the republican
candidate for governor Of that state, and it
is thought that he would be delighted to get
the nomination. Among others who are
mentioned in the same connection are
George 2. Erwin and Frank Hendricks.
On the democratic side it is conceded that
Lieut.. Gov. Jones will be candidate,
though it is not conceded that he will be
nominated; and Senator William L. Brown
has many friends who would like to elevate
HIM to the governorship. As the governor
ship of New York is sort of stepping
to the presidency, the democrats of that
state should be very careful to put forward
their best man.

A peculiar case was tried at Troy. Tenn.
a few days ago. R. NJ. King, a Seventh
Day Adventist, was indicted for blowing
and doing other work on the Sabbath. Like
other members of his church, he observed
Saturday as the Sabbath. The jury brought
in verdict of guilty, and assessed the fine
at SIS. A motion for a new trial was
made, but the judge overruled it, aud in
doing so he took occasion TO say that Mr..
King and his brethren might observe any
day they wished as the Sabbath, but that
they must respect the day recognized by
the state.

a Flood Prophet Denounced.


A few days ago Sergt Dunn of the signal
service predicted that New Orleans would
be inundated within ten DAYS, and he al
vised the people of that city to prepare for
such disaster. The New Orleans Board
of Trade adopted resolutions denouncing
Dunn as a sensationalist and demanded his
removal from the signal service The i'm
mediate cause of this action of the beard
was the damage which Dunn'S prediction
had done to the business interests of New
Orleans.
Dunn does not appear to be afraid that he
will be removed. He has reiterated his
prediction, though in a somewhat modified
form. He has no doubt apparently that
water will beseveral feet deep in the streets
of New Orleans within very few DAYS.
1t is quite evident that Dunn has very
little knowledge of Mississippi river floods
in the vicinity of New Orleans The New
Orleans people know all about them, and
they are not at all apprehensive of danger.
They have seen many such floods as the
present one, and their city never suffered
any great amount of damage from them.
The levees all along the river are break
ing and the waters are spreading over the
adjacent country. A vast amount of water
is reaching the gulf by ways other than the
Mississippi river. 1t is quite safe TO say
therefore, that the water in the river will
be greatly lowered by reason of the numer-
GUS outlets which it has made for itself be-
fore it reaches New Orleans. doubt less
Dunn is sincere in what he says, but it is
pretty certain that he is mistaken. 1t is
certainly to be hoped that he is
