The arrest of holland puts one Of
fetal delinquent in the hands of the
law to be punished for & high crime.
Nobody darcs to ask that anything
less than the full penalty of the law
shall be metcd out 10 him according
to the degree Of his guilt.
But it must be set down TO his
credit that he voluntarily paused in
his criminal career, and that he vol
unfairly made known the amount of
his ENLIGHTENMENT to a governor and
auditor who had been criminally neg
ligent of their duties, and who, but
for the warning he gave them, might
have continued TO disregard their
sworn duty until he had Gompl etely
"gutted' the treasury.
On the 18th day of April, 1889,
Gov. Francis carefully considered
and approved q statute with an emer-
gcncy clause putting it in force from
the moment he approved it, and
which made it his duty to carefully
compare monthly reports from the
auditor, the treasurer and the various
repositories Of state money, showing
the amounts received, the amounts
paid out, the warrants issued 10y the
auditor, etc. Heavy penalties were
imposed on the repositories, the
treasurer and the auditor for failing
to transmit these reports in writing,
verified by oath to the governor, and
the law commanded him to compare
them and ascertain without delay
whether The treasurer had deposited
the money coming into his keeping
at the proper dates, and whether lie
had drawn or paid out only such
sums as were equivalent to warrants
signed by the auditor. The law
further made it the duty Of the gov.
ernor to suspend either the auditor,
or treasurer and take possession of his
office on his failing to make these re.
ports on or before the 5.h day Of
every month.
Yet from April to March the gov
crnor ignored this new law bearing
his own signature, and the auditor
and treasurer and repositories all
disobeyed it with his consent, while
rumors were current that holland was
carrying as treasurer n shortage OF
$4,000 in his accounts as first clerk
under Seibelt.
Is it fair under these circumstan-
ccs to make holland the scapegoot Of
two other delinquent officials and to
punish him alone for the delinquen.
cles for all three? Should a just
public opinion give the governor the
whole credit of timely discovery and
prompt action in the matter of this
defalcation, when he should have dis.
covered q deficit ten months earlier
if he had only done his sworn duty
The fact is that month after month he
had wilfully failed to perform ar
} official duty which no faithful gov
ernor and good business man woalt
: have neglected. When holland go
tired of trying to get even at poke
! he had to send his attorney to hun
up the governor in New York and (,
I tell him there about a deficit which

signed. Dispatch, (Dem.)
