Interest on State Funds.1


In regard to the question of the
treasurer receiving interest on the
state funds, The Beaver Dam Citizen,
published at the home of Mr.. McFet-
ridge, ex-state treasurer, gives a COM
plete and accurate history of the de-
post of state funds in.banks and the
receiving Of interest by the treasurer,
showing the necessity of depositing
funds in the banks Ca necessity recog-
nized by the present Democratic ad-
ministration). 1t notes that the last
Democratic treasurer, Mr.. Ferd.
Kuehn, in his report to the senate in
1876, said he had received more than
$4,000 as interest money on such
deposits, "and, not being aware of any
law requiring any part of this money
to be credited to the general fund.-
there is no such law now-"he had re-
tanned the whole amount, in accord
ance with the uniform practice of his
predecessors" Here the legislature
was directly informed that it was the
uniform practice of treasurers, and
that Mr.. Knehn had adopted it, to
retain the interest on state funds de-
posted in banks The Legislature did
nothing about the matter and Mr..
Kuehn has not been asked, by the
present legislature, to send this money
to the treasury to be credited to the
general fund. Again, in 1879, Gov.
Smith, who had been treasurer and
who received interest which he kept,
called the attention of the legislature
to this practice and called on the leg
islature, if this practice was consid-
cred contrary to the intent of the law
Of 1876 as revised, to express the in
tent of the law more definitely
Nothing was done about 1.-THE legis-
lature in effect affirming that such
practice was not contrary to the in
tent of thelaw; practically it Endorsed
the uniform practice Of the treasurers,
And this was right unless the legisla-
ture was prepared to relieve the
treasurer Of the responsibility for
which no other compensation was
provided. That any court would de-
eide that the ex-treasurers who have
followed a custom practically APP
proved by the legislature owe money
to thestate, is thing beyond reason.

The average selling price Of these
products is SO per cent more in man
ufacturing states than in agricultural
states. This being the case, how is it
possible that tariff reduction and con-
sequent decrease of prosperity in
manufacturing states will not be felt
in agricultural states? The fact is,
the extension Of manufactures has
been of inestimable benefit to the agri-
cultural states. 1t furnishes beyond

THE SEYMOUR BILL.

Senator Seymour's attempt to bring about settlement of the squabble at Hart ford appears to be an honest and well thought out one. His plan is to take the face of the returns as made up by the off cial canvassing loard as prima facie evi dence that the Democratic State officers were elected, and to give them their seats Provision is then made for privileged suit before the courts, with General Mer- win as plaintiff, which shall decide all the points in the case at issue. Provision is also made that Judge Morris shall not take an unfair advantage of his power to make such appointments as are authorized by law to be made. It is also provided that if the Republican house agrees to this method of settlement, no appointments shall be made until the general assembly has finally acted in conformity with the decision of the court, except such as both houses declare the public interests require.
 This, like the Judson bill, is a well meaning measure. It makes, so far as we can see, little difference which is adopted One of them ought to be, and if the Dem ocrats prefer the Seymour bill the Repub, licans can afford to let them have it. We are in favor of any honest and reasonable plan that will bring the matter before the courts, where it should have been long ago, and we do not care whether the plan is called Republican or Democratic.

THE GRIP I'M CHICAGO.

Chicago has a good deal on it's mind and a bad cold in its body. It is getting a firm grip on the worlds fair business, and the grip is getting firm hold upon it. It is related that not less than five hundred men employed on the West Side street car system are laid off with the disease, and the company is badly handicapped for help. The South Side company has 125 men on the sick list The North Side company has about 75 men out, while many of those at work are suffering from the disease in mild form. The large stores are having like experience. In one store employing 150 clerks, 40 are sick. Ten per cent. of the police force is laid up, and 50 men in the Fire department are off. Fifty out of 150 mail carriers in the postoffice are suffer ing. All of the hospitals are overcrowded, and many of the patients are compelled to accept accommodations on the floor. There is scarcely boarding house in the city, it is said, that has not from one to five persons laid up with the disease. It has invaded the hotels, and fully one-third of the guests are i'll. Many of the man. agers and hotel employees are also suffer CTS, and there is such dearth of help that some of the guests by their own request have been sent to the hospitals.
 Nothing like this occurred last year when the grip visited Chicago, and ac- cording to the published statements the disease is not alarmingly prevalent in oth- CT cities this year, though there is enough of it, even here in New Haven. It is a | pity that Chicago should thus be disabled just as she had fairly started toward the great exposition

Colonel Villas and the Farmer.

From the Chlcago Ifloune Colonel William F. Villas, of Wisconsin, was travelling from Madison to Chicago. Colonel Villas has some reason to be jubi- lant about this time, and perhaps he has fair reasons to believe that every one in the state of Wisconsin knows him. Perhaps, also, he has heard of those statesmen and politicians whose wonderful memory for faces and names made them popular with the masses. At any rate it was apparent that he was going to see how it worked, and if it was not success in one instance it can hardly be said to be the fault of Col | onel Villas
 He entered the smoking-car few miles ] out from Madison and recognized the man in the first seat behind the stove. He | shook hands with him and asked after the | various members of his family. Then he passed on to the next. His inquiries here ! were trihe hay, but the man evidently | knew Colonel Villas and was fiattered. That emboldened the newly made senator to go | on; in fact, he was afraid to stop lest he should offend some one. Near the centre of the car was an old man with gray chin whiskers, fur cap and top boots, who was an interested spec tator of the proceedings. When his turn came Villas shook him warmly by the hand and asked how everything was at the farm The man grunted something in reply and the Colonel passed on. After he had left the car the old man turned to a neighbor and asked:
 | "Who's that blamed idiot"
 "What, "cried the man addressed. "Don't
 you know him!"
 "Never saw him before.' 1 'For heavens sake where do you live:' l Madison"
 | "And don't know Colonel Villas" 1 The old man reused himself little. | ooh, that Bill Villas, is t." he said. "No
 I never saw him before, and what in thun
 der does he want to make pump-handle
 out of my arm for!" | "Why, he's been elected Senator" l "Humph!" grunted the old man. 'l
 suppose that's why he asked me about my | farm"
 "What's the matter with that"
 "Nothing, except that don't own { | farm and never did"
 And so Colonel Vilas's diplomacy wen l for naught
