The Law Doesn't Reach Him.

The humiliating fact has been discovered
in Maryland that Stevenson Archer, re-
Gently treasurer of that state. cannot be
punished for embezzling $4,000 of the
states money. He was indicted for embez-
Element, and the states lawyers thought
they would soon have him in the peniten-
tiary, but on Tuesday demurrer to the in
dlctment was sustained. In this demurrer
the point was made that under the law of
the state only officers who failed to pay
over to the state treasurer the states money
received by them could be indicted for en-
bezzlement. As Archer, being state treas
urer, was not required to pay over money
10 anybody, it was pretty plain that the
law did not cover his case, and therefore
the Indictment against him was quashed.
Isit not remarkable that the lawmakers
are so short-sighted! Very many of the
most important laws that are passed by
state legislatures and by congress are faulty
in some particular, and yet very able law
yers assist in making these laws. The
truth doubtless is that lawyers, when max
ing laws, do not do their work as thor
oughly as when they are serving their
clients. They are satisfied with a very
careless reading Of the bills upon which
they are required to pass, and often they
vote for or against bills of which they know
almost nothing.
1t may be that Treasurer Archer will not
escape punishment altogether. He will be
indicted and tried probably for malfea-
sance in office, but the punishment attached
to that offense is comparatively insignifi-
can't The chances are that, having stolen
Sl32.0OO of the peoples money. he will not
suffer as severe punishment as is sometimes
inflicted upon half-starved and friendless
man who has been convicted of stealing a
loaf of bread.

Is This True. Mr.. NcKinlev7

The New York Erening Post says that
the tin plsts duty us not intended and
never was intended to establish the man
ufacture of tin plate. but to compel people
to use galvanized sheet iron for roofing in
stead OF tin" There is some reason for
thinking that this statement is true. 1t Is
well known that tin plate is not now man
ufactured in this country, and it is certain
that no money would be invested in the
manufacture Of it unless there was guar
antee of some sort that could be depended
upon that the duty would not be removed
until the industry was firmly established.
1t is evident that no such guarantee could
be given. There is no probability that the
Republican party will remain in power for
any considerable length Of time, and it is
not certain that if it should remain in
power many years it would not change its
position with regard to tin plate. l. has
changed its position relative TO sugar,
quinine, raw silk and other articles, and il
might tase an altogether different
view of the tin plate question within very
few years. Under the circumstances, there
fore, the presumption that the tin plate
duty is in the interest of the manufacturers
Of galvanized iron is not violent one.
The Mckinley bill puts a duty Of 40 per
cent. on tin plate. This duty would take
out of the pockets of the people about
100000 year, and the greater part of
this enormous sum would be paid by the
poorer people, particularly tae farmers.
The additional cost of tin cans for canning
purposes would he paid either by the fruit
and vegetable growers or by the consumers
of canned goods. And the people are to be
taxed to the extent of SS,OO0.000, for what'
Why. that the manufacturers of galvanized
iron may compel the use of that article for
roofing. These manufacturers expect that
the enormous tariff on tin plate would pre-
vent that article from being used for roof
ing, aud that galvanized iron would be sub
stituted for it, They would make fortunes,
OF course, but in the meantime the people,
owing to the burdensome tariff, would be-
come steadily poorer. Does Mr.. Mckinley
hope to win the confidence of the people by
such legislation as thisl

The North Dakota people think they will
soon be able to make all the sugar this
country needs. The state is well adapted
to the growing of the sugar beet. and there
is any quantity of coal close at hand with
which to rob the beet of its sweetness.
Senator Pierce of North Dakota, speaking
of this matter in Washington the other day,
said: "Some of our German farmers have
been experimenting with the sugar beet,
and they have been so successful that hun
dreds and even thousands will make like ex-
periments this year. The temperature and
the prevailing degree of moisture seem to
be admirably adapted to the maturing of
this vegetable to the point where it con-
tains the greatest possible amount of sac
charine matter. All over North Dakota
we have veins of soft coal from three to
ten feet in thickness, in many places crop
ping out at the surface. If the beet crop is
what it promises to be arrangements to
transform it into sugar will be made on
large scale, the coal supply being an i'm
portant factor" North Dakota may fur
nish the country with sugar aud Alabama
will probably furnish it with iron. This
will be rather changing things about, as
the popular idea has been that the south
furnished sugar and the north iron.

Reals Retraat.

Speaker Reed and some Of the other re
publican leaders in congress are opposed to
passing river and harbor bill at this ses-
sion They are beginning to find out. how
ever. that there is a very strong sentiment
in favor Of passing the bill with as little
delay as possible. They have heard enough
within the last two or three DAYS to con-
vince them that failure to pass the bill
would do their party a great deal of harm.
Several OF the senator's have interested
themselves in behalf Of the bill, and they
are Statistic that it could be put through
under a suspension Of the rules, so numerous
are its friends in both the House aud the
Senate.
Speaker Reed is reported to have said
to Mr.. Henderson, the chairman of the
river and harbor committee, day or two
ago. that he would permit him to call up
the bill Immediately after the tariff bill was
out Of the way. Assuming that this state
ment Is correct, it is apparent that Speaker
Reed has changed his mind relative to per-
hitting the bill to pass at this session.
No greater mistake could bs made than
to delay the passage Of the bill until next
SSSSASAs NC ucAtAJ NOulQ COST Jle govern
ment hundreds of thousands of dollars aad
would work incalculable injury to COM
merce. The engineers in charge Of the
river and harbor improvements are waiting
patiently for the money with which to con-
tiaue work. To as great an extent as possible,
consistent with economy, they are retaining
their trained employees. If no river and
harbor bill is passed this year they must
discharge their employees and close their
offices. The improvement works must be
virtually abandoned for a year or more,
and the damage these works, in their I'M
finished condition, would sustain would be
very great.
1t would be much wiser for the repub-
llcans to cut down the proposed appropria-
tions for pensions, if they fear deficiency.
than to refuse to make an appropriation for
rivers and harbors. Notwithstanding the
fact that few men in congress make it a
point to oppose the river and harbor bill,
that bill has the appro val of the great ma
jority Of the people.

Wonders How He Stands.

Shelby Cullom of Illinois is in doubt just now
how he stands at the white house, says the New
York Star. He was entertaining party of
friends the other evening at his house. among
them Gen. Bane of Illinois, formerly, by Cullom
and Logan's influence, surveyor general of
Utah, and Gen. Gilchrist of Salt Lake CITY,

half in earnest. I'VE must take good care of
your presidential boom. I'll look after it in
Southern Illinois. and Judge, you must see
that Utah is all right"
"I'll answer for Utah." said Gilchrist.
Then the Illinois statesman turned to Mr.
Sprague and asked his pleasure.

much like to see you"

that Richard Croker, the Tammany leader,
is hurrying back to that city to put pad
lock on the mouth of brother-in-law Patrick
Mccain. There is no truth, evidently, in
that story. Mccain has done Tammany all
the harm he can, and Tammany has lifted

From the Ne,Uark Journal.
Twas summer ago, when he left me here,
summer of smiles with never a tear,
Till said to him, with a sob my dear:
Cool by, my lover, good-by!
For love him, oh. as the stars love night!
And my cheeks for him flashed red and white
When first he called me his hearts delight:
Good-by. my lover, good-by!
The touch of his hand was thing divine
AS he sat with me in the soft moonshine,
And drank of my love as men drink wine:
Good-by, my lover, good-by
And never a night, as knelt in prayer,
In a gown as white as our own souls were
But in fancy he came and kissed me there:
Good-by, my lover, good-by!
But now, o God what an empty place
My whole heart isl OF the old embrace,
And the kiss | loved there lives no trace:
Good-by, my lover, good-by!
He sailed not over the stormy sea-
And he went not down in the waves, not he,
But, oh, he is lost, for he married me:
Good-by, my lover, good-by!

Whether defective in mind, sight, hearing

that even the fact that Chicago is to have
