articles in tho New York Times and
World the statements regarding Came
ron's advancing 100000 to hush the
scandal, and of Quay's subsequent cleo
ton as treasurer, when he covered his
populations by specializing with the
state funds. This is the way the Even
ing Post tells it:
During the period when Quay was treas
ures he had the power to use the treasury
funds very much as he pleased.
There is syndicate in Philadelphia
which controls the horse railroads in vari-
Gus cities, and, as is we'll known, has foot
hold in this city. They employ lobby,
and on occasions have called on Quay to
ment in the legislature. He has been q
useful and unscrupulous agent for the syndi-
cate in that way. On the other hand. when
he was in financial trouble, he went to GER
tain members of the syndicate for aid. His
calls on them for that purpose have not been
infrequent.
The Philadelphia railroad syndicate bought
the plant, franchise, etc., Of the North Chi.
cago railroad company at Chicago and issued
bonds which carried with them stock in the
company. The investment was con-
sidered good one, and when the scheme
had reached the right stage certain mem
Der of the syndicate, which was under obli'
pocket some of the Profits. He was offered
$4OO, 900 in bonds in the North Chicago rail-
road company, each bond carrying with it a
share of the capital stock. To buy the
bonds, however, it was necessary to raise
$4OO, 900 in cash to pay for them. Quay cool
~ took that sum of money out of the state
treasury and sent it to Philadelphia. where
it was deposited in the Peoples bank, the
depository of the horse railroad syndicate,
and so paid for the bonds. The president
of the bank was and is w. H. Kemble (the
author of the epigram addition, division,
and silence''), to whom reference has al
ready been made. Kemble, as already
stated, was saved from the penitentiary
after he had pleaded guilty in court-after
the conviction of Emil Petroff--by the influ-
board. Quay allotted portion Of the stock
he received to Wilson Norris, and the official
of the treasury previously referred to got
share of the prize.
Not dollar of his own money did Quay
use; he simply took the state money, which
was embezzlement, and purchased $4OO, 600
worth of North Chicago railway bonds, to-
gether with the accompanying stock. The
profits of the transaction to Quay arose from
the sale of stock which practically cost him
nothing. He sold the stock as high as 81 or
81 and, of course, made large sum of
money. The bonds were used to make the
state treasury good. Hart, the state treas
urer, knew about the transaction and, it Is
said, shared IN the profits.
We commend these facts to the care

friend. This is the same Mr. Quay, it
may be remarked, who bossed the theft
of Montana.

FARMER ELLSWORTH'S BULL,

it Tackled a Grindstone.
Charles Ellsworth, farmer living it
Wilton, which is northern suburb of Sara
toga Springs, has blooded bull, large
and beautiful animal, says the New York

disposition as to make it prudent to keep

He wasn't at all enraged, SO he didn't stop
to paw up dirt with his fore feet, nor did he
put his nose on the ground, hump up his
back, and below out challenge to mortal
combat. On the contrary, he started out
the first place he demolished the poultry
roosts and caused hundred or more hens
to make the night hideous with their
squawks. Then he tore down
the Enclosure to the pig pens
and sent two sows and their litters grunting
and squealing about the premises, and then
he tore down the clothes lines on which a
weeks wash had been left out to dry. After
tipping over the soft-soap barrel, the lye
cask, and the rain water tank, he en-
countered the tool house, which he partly
demolished, tumbling the implements about.
FINALLY ne attacked GRIND StOne..W which
stood under tree, and throwing it up SO
that it was caught on his horns. he started
for the house and banged heavily against
the door.
Mr.. Ellsworth was away from home. and
his wife and daughter were alone in the
house. From the noises they had heard
they suspected that thieves were about, and
Miss Ellsworth grasped a revolver and pre-
pared herself for any emergency. When she
heard the pounding on the door she supposed
that burglars or tramps were breaking in,
and demanded to know who the intruders
were and what they wanted. Getting no
reply and the banging upon the door con-
tinuing, the brave girl fred shot at a ven
ture, when the door flew open and in rolled
the grindstone, which had slipped FROM its
sockets in the frame and fell at her feet.
At first it was difficult to tell which was the
most frightened, the girl or the bull, but it
must have been the bull, for he beat hasty
retreat, and when Farmer Ellsworth re-
turned. he found the animal standing in
the stable in most Inundated attitude,
with the frame of the grindstone still upon
his horns, and which he seemed real CRATE
fulfil a bull can feel grateful-to be re.
lieved of.

ate drinker. He manifests a marked prefer
ence for wine over beer, which he touches
very rarely and sparingly.
Prime Minister Crispi is millionaire,
though the poorest among Italian revolu-
tionary exiles thirty years ago. His enc

at the cost of the state treasury, and his
friends say lucky speculations and shrewd
investments yielded him his fortune.

| Count Andrassy had q splendid nerve at
the card table. and whom he played at all
called for very high stakes. He once played
three rubbers of whist with the late Count
Darn, Prince Peter Schouwaloff, and Baron

1900 francs points and 10000 francs on the
rub.
The latest turnout of the German en-

out to ride in it from Berlin to Potsdam,

would make it in about 100 minutes. They
beat all expectations by doing it in 20.

The debate on the silver question is
interesting and destruction. The gold
men are being effectuaHy driven to the
wall ID every position they assume to
maintain. Their prophecies about
what was going to happen when the
limited act to coin silver vas passed
have all been proven to be just exactly
opposite 10 what they contended would
take Eiace. In place of driving gold
ont of the country, that metal has
been coming here from abroad. An
unlimited coinage Of silver is what
the country needs, too much money is
not going to hurt anything or injure
any body.
The opposition to the free coinage of
silver comes from the same source
whence the advocacy Of the
Mckinley tariff.
The object, and the only and sole
Object is to fatten the millionaires and
money kings, at the expense of the
wage Garner and tie poorer class of
mankind.
Fortunately that party cannot hold
all tile republicans to that line Of a.
ten. and the act for free coinage Of
silver will knock some of the stones
from the foundation Of the Carnegie.
Wannamaker, sherman and other mil
iIonaire structures.
These u metal advocates fight
hard for their weapon Of oppression,
but i seems as if they will have come
down from their high horse finally.
The masses of the people, driven to
are rousing to a sense OF
Their condition and are beginning to
straIshten themselves up, aud when
they do so, there will he many chan
ges, fer the better, in the management

SATURDAY. JUNE I. 1880.

The gentlemen representing the
people Of Lafourche in The Legislature
should not fail to prevent the en&ction
of any law that will prevent the o II
struction Of Tice dahls in tie parish of
Lafouvche. Let them authorize the
Police Jury to make such laws as they
may deem advisable for the cOnstruc-
ton md care of rice troughs and there
will never be any ~clevasses in this
parish caused by ~troughs. Proper
legislation by that body will remoye
any and all danger.
Rice troughs may have been the
cause OF %crevasses elsewhere, but no
crevass has even been occasioned by
a though IN Lafourehe except one in
1866, and that never would have been
permitted had there been any laws in
force at that time.
With a proper inspection ordinance
enforced there never need be any anx-
lety from the irrigating troughs.
The cultivation of rice is too imnor.
tant an industry in L~afonrclle to be
unJustiy sacrificed. Too many poor
men depend upon that cultivation to
be deprived OF the means of earning a
support for themselves and families.
They have not the means TO erect
pumps to irrigate their lands. and if
they did the expense would be too
great for the small crops which they
grow.
The Legislators should not permit
a wild cry Of wolf to cause them to
ruin their constituents. They know |
perfectly, each one Of them, that ilri-
eating troughs can be put down, so as
to be absolutely safe. They know
perfectly well, that, of the dozens of
crevasses that have been seen in La
fourche but a solitary one was caused
by a rice dahl, and that was put in tile
levee, in violations of all good iudr-
ment II common sense.
