checks bears the endorsement Of the
Treasurer of the State Central Com
mittee.
This gentleman can doubtless ex-
plain row his endorsement got on
the check, and the quicker he does
so the better, for as tie matter now
stands il has a very ugly look for the
managers,
Another check of $1,000, obtained
by Mr.. Archer in the same way, to
buy Treasury Relief bonds, was used
by him TO pay off his individual
notes in the Mechanics National
Bank and to redeem bonds already
belonging to the State. which had
been pledged by him as collateral
security.
These discoveries swell the amount
of the defalcation considerably be-
yOnd the generally accepted amount
of $4,000.
Up to this time we have been I'M
able to learn how Mr.. Archer spent
so much money. The attempt to
attribute it in any degree to an ex-
travagant family does gross injustice
to noble woman, whose entire
patrimony, we learn, is swept away
in the general ruin. We can hear
of no speculatipg, no gambling, no
extravagant habits, no payment of
old debts except the appropriation of
one trust fund to makeanother good.
The Republicans do not hesitate to
charge that the money went into the
Democratic campaign fund In Baltl-
more city, and the facts we have
already given and the further fact
that the disclosure was made Just
after and not until the failure to
realize anything from the lobby,
gives some coloring to the charge.
The Democratic party should not
rest day or night until the matter is
thoroughly Investigated, and if it is
unhappily true, then punish the ras-
Gals. If the monev was used for that
purpose others besides Archer must
be implicated in it or have been
privy to it.
If they are the welfare of the party
demands their punishment and dis
grace"

The following from the Boston
Traveller contains in a nutshell the
real reason why the importing class
is found in alliance with the Free
Trade Democracy. Let the wage
earners paste it in their hats:
The value of our imports for 1889
was S770,000,000, of which amount
$509, 100000 paid duty. and goods to
the amount of 1851 900 900 came in
free. Importers naturally want to
increase their business and their
profits. If the duties on articles now
dutiable should be materially de-
creased or removed the importatiOns
would reach 81 900. 000,0 900 or 81, 2OO,-
'000.0G0. These would have to be
paid for in cash or in the products of
the country. The duties enc lurage
the manufactures here at home the
articles we would otherwise import.
They build up diversified industries
and give employment to an army of
wage-earners who themselves furnish
market for American products.
Home manufactures and home mar.
kets 60 together, but they restrict
the importing business. 1t is clearly
apparent why importers denounce
the Mckinley bill.

A Big Paper Contract.

One of the largest contracts for fur
nishing paper for the use of the CEN
sus Office is the one for manila tabu-
lating cards. The number of cards
that will he used is estimated to be
100.000,000. and it is said that it will
require 260 tons of MANILA paper to
furnish these cards. Under former
contract 10000. 900 sheets for the pop
uIation schedule will be furnished,
which IS said to be the largest single
order for writing paper given No
single mill in this country could meet
the demand, and the order is now
being filled by two of the largest pa
per mills in the country. Already
orders have been sent out for 14,60G
reams of paper, which will weigh
4.000 pounds, and at the contract
price. 8 cents per pound, will cost
$50, $50.

A WONDERFUL CASE. A San
Francisco dispat, h states that won.
derfrl case is occupying the attention
of the physicians at the City Hospi.
tai there. A month ago Michael
Lane assaulted his wife with pistol
and a hammer, One bullet entered
her brain, and another her jaw. The
,Hull was fractured by blows in four
places, and the scalp on the back of
the head was laId open for distance
of four inches. Having inflicted
these injuries. Lrne chOked his wife
until he thought the last breath had
left her body. Then he leveled the
murderous pistol at his own head
and committed suicide. The tragedy
was the sequel to bitter quarrel be-
tween husband and wife. The latter
on discovering that the former had
drawn from the bank S3.000-the
savings of a Iifetime-anG lost the
sum in speculation, reprOached him
bitterly, and he replied in the cow
ardly manner above detailed. But
the wonder of the affair is that the
woman did not die. When the sur.
geons reached her she was exhausted
from loss of blood, and the emulation
of brain matter amounted to nearly
two ounces. Despite the apparent
hopeIessness of the case the doctors
went to work, removed splinted
bits of skull. cleansed the bullet
wounds and used knife and needle
with such skill that doubt gave place
10 hope and hope almost to certainty.
The great difficulty encountered
that of draining and cleansing the
track of the bullet through the brain
was overcome, and Mrs. Lane, in
stead of dying, showed promise of

count of the death from that cause of

A Record of Hot Summers.

1t will perhaps assuage the discom-
forts of the coming summer to read
some past experiences with heat,
compiled by a German statlstician,
In the year 627 the springs were dried
up and men tainted with the heat.
In 879 it was impossible to work in
the open fields. In the year 1913 the
nuts on the trees were "roasted" as
if in BAKERS oven. In 1000 the
rivers in France dried up, and the
stencil from the dead fish and other
matter brought a pestilence into the
land. The heat in the year 1914 dried
up the rivers and brooks in Alsace-
Lorraine. The Rhine was dried up
in the year 1882. In the year ll52
the heat was so great that eggs could
be cooked in the sand. In 1927 1T is
recorded that many men and animals
came by their death through the in
tense heat. In the year 1903 the wa-
tiers of the Rhine and Danube were
pdIlLdlly vi ltu up dIh pCpPiC pN'oVu
over on foot. The crops were burnt
up in the year 1894, and in 1913 the
Seine and the Loire were aS dry land.
In 155G ii great drought swept over
Europe. In 1911 in France, and
even in Switzerland. the brooks and
the bitches were dried up. Not less
hot were the years 1916. 1879, and
1901. In the year 17l5 from the
month of March till October not Il

rose to $50 Reamer, and in favored
places the fruit trees bionmed -tc-

Let Justice be Done.

Under this caption the Hagerstown
Mail of week before last admits that
the charge made by the Republicans
that the Democratic campaign fund
shared in the proceeds of the Archer
defalcation is given some coloring by
recent disclosures. The Hail speaks
out boldly and says:
1.-THE latest revelations in the
Archer matter are more sensational
than any since the original disclosure.
1t seems that the Mutual Fire Co.
of Hartford county held $4,000 of
Treasury Relief bonds. Mr.. Archer
desired to purchase them for the sink
ing fund. He first thought the
amount was $1,000. He drew up a
check for that amount which he got
the comptroller to countersign. After
finding that the amount was $4,000
he drew up another check for some
thing oyer $4,000.
But instead of paying for the bonds
with these checks he distracted
B. & o. car trust bonds from the
States strong box and paid for the
bonds he had bought with them.
Then he asked Mr.. Cairnes, the Sec
rotary of the insurance company. to
endorse the checks Sin order to keep
his accounts straight"
The checks thus endorsed were in
Mr.. Archer's hands available as cash.
