lie funds" The speaker dwelt upon tho
word me particularly. saving that this
meant all the public funds. not some Of
them, but oil. lie read from several legal
authorities on the subject.
ANY PORTION WAS The FUNDS.
Mr. Smith replied to these arguments in
the following words: Under ordinary
circumstances | might be INDUCED in the
postponement, but since the able counsel
for the accused first pointed your Honor TO
no authority whatever which / can have
the opportunity Of criticising (because
believe be eite1 the facts from his memory
do not think dnder these circumstances
that should ask for that pOstponement.
Your Honor knows full well that the sta
tutes as well AS indictments are drawn
with the purpose of covering the different
phases Of the proof. and so this very
statute says. Officer. agent, or employ
of the state or city or county and | am at
liberty to prove that he is guilty"
MADE no DIFFERENCE.
Mr.. Smith ridiculed the idea Of the diff
ference made by the word ne. which Mr.
Strirgfellow referred to. The whole
Argument said he. in this case-and il
must have been amusing TO those not
little word he was in the Indictment and
that made 1t defective. 1 have no doubt
that they have heard that the law was the
embodiment OF reason, but there amt a
man within the range Of my voice who
wouldn't 90 away with the correct idea
that the law was the embodiment of non
sense. Public funds. Ii they are funds,
amt they public fundsg | contend that
there can be no money which is public that
can't be described rs the funds IL
signifies absolutely nothing. Now, he
these bills must be paid directly to the
Treasurer. Well. that comes back TO the
| embodiment OF nonsense"
In concluding, Mr.. Smith said that the
law itself was intended to prevent the very
crime which has been committed In this
| case. IL was further intended 20 require
| that gas consumers should 90 to the Trea-
| suror's office and pay the money directly
| into the treasury of the city OF Richmond.
Mr.. Stringfellow answered Mr.. Smiths
remarks in vigorous language, and in con-
| cluding said that if he went TO the Holy
| Land and III describing his trip spoke OF
"a man of Nazareth every one would
| think be meant any citizen, but If bespoke
| Of "the man Of Nazareth every one would
| instantly know ne referred 10 the Saviour.
In discussing the difference between duty
| and law he said that if a poor, homeless
woman asked his shelter on stormy night
he would be morally but not legally bound
| to give 1t to her.
The COURTS RULING.
When Mr.. Stringfellow finished his
| speech the Judge promptly said:
Il don't think the instructions ought 20
be given. " and after moments reflection
ordered the jury to be brought III. Cap
tain Epps then cleared aside the crowd
which by this time had pressed close tC
! tine desk Of the Commonwealth Attorney
and in a few minutes they entered the
! courtroom.

HARRISRURG. Ian

HARRISBURG, Jan. 90, 1891.
Robert E. Pattison was inaugurated as
Governor of this Commonwealth to-day
in the presence of large concourse of
people from all parts of the State.
At an early hour the streets of the city
presented lively appearance Delega-
tions from nearly every Democratic Club
in the State were present, and the parade
was the principal feature of the day.
Only one military organization was in
line.
The oath Of office was administered
to the Governor by Chief Justice Paxson
and Immediately signed, whereupon
Lieut.. Governor Davies declared Robert
f. Pattison Governor of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania. The Announce.
ment was received with great cheer NV
| the thousands of people present
| The Governor then read his inaugural
address. In it he dwelt mainly nnon
four points, namely, constitutional en-.
forcement, ballot reform, taxation and
municipal government
Governor Pattison sent to the Senat,
the names of William +. Harrity, 70
| Secretary of State; William U. Hensel
for Attorney General, and William Nc
Clelland, for Adjutant General. Th
nominations were promptly confirmed

The decisive vote by which Senator
Cameron carried both branches Of the
Legislature Tuesday shows the thor,
oughness and effectiveness of party
drill. 1t was impossible to organize
successful revolt, and there is no
doubt that the action of the Senate
and House in Joint session will con
form to the separate vote. There was
reason enough for opposition to the
return Of Senator Cameron on the
part of overloyal partisans; but, un-
fortunately for them, the ground of
their objection was also the ground
for his most conspicuous claim to pub
lie favor.

The Indian Policy.

This threatened Indian war should
be the last. Sixty-two millions of peo-
pie should be able to compel peace
with less than $4,000 hostiles. But it is
said that if the Indians make war upon
the whites, the whites must make war
upon them That is true, if all means to
conciliate have been exhausted, but SC
long as peace with the Indians is pos.
sible-war with them should be impos-
sible.
But something always precedes Indian
wars, ,and something disgraceful preceded
the present one, if the testimony of cloud
of witnesses, among them being Governor
| Foster and the seriously wounded Catho-
lie Missionary of the late battle, can be
testify to the same effect-to the effect
that the Indians went to war because
they their wives and their children were
I starving, and because they preferred
quick death by the sword rather than
slow death by hunger.
There is now no chance to doubt that
there were insufficient rations doled out
to the Indians; that in their desperate,
suffering state they became ready victims
to the religious mania craftiIy inspired
bv their leaders, and that preparations
for war were the sequence. The Indian |
officials at first stated that the rations .
issued were ample; then, when it was
proved they were not, that the appro-
priations were inadequate, but to this !
latter charge Senator Allison, Chairman /
of the Committee on Appropriations, re-
plies by showing that the appropriations |
were entirely sufficient. Between the ap-
made and the money spent
there is a great distance, and even be-
tween the Indian Bureau and the Indian
Agents there is vast distance. The
money for feeding the Indians was ap- !
by Congress, was paid under
the order of the Indian Bureau, but the
food did not reach the Indians. Nobody
with authority to speak knows where it
went, though the Indian Agents should be |
required to testify to their knowledge re-
garding it. 1t is possible, if not proba-
BILE, that their testimony, if it presented
the whole truth, would settle the ques- |
ton of where the money went. That Is !
a question which it will greatly become
Congress, that appropriated the money,
and the Indian Bureau, that disbursed it
among its agents, to have satisfactorily |
answered. The country expects it to be
answered.
Behind all Indian wars will be found |
some impelling cause, but it has rarely
happened that behind any there has been
a cause so disgraceful to the country as
that which had its bloody sequence at
Wounded Knee. The time has gone by,
if it ever was, when the country believed
that the only good Indian was dead In
dian.
The Government has had good many
reminders lately to the effect that its In
dian policy-that of surrendering its con-
troll of and responsibility for the Indians
over to agents, whoar too often selected
for mere political reasons-does not meet
with the entire and cordial sympathy of
the country. The Wounded Knee affair
should be the cause of such universal in
dignation and protest as to render i'm
possible continuance of the old policy,
and to usher in one based upon human
ity, justice and peace.-Phila. Ledger.

Hon. GEORGE BANCROFT, the vener-
able historian of the United States,
died at Washington, ID. c., on Satur-
day last in the ninty-frst year of his
age. Mr. Bancroft's long life was one
of useful labors and well earned
honors From the outset of his
career he was a devoted and pains
taking student of history and accu,
mulated vast stores of knowledge
that We're in after years abundantly
utilized. But he was not q historian
alone. Being at one time a promi-

he had filed many places of high

service to the Government in every

Tom Rivers killed by railway traint
l suppose it had to be;
Tom wasn't of any great account
Since the day that General Lee
Threw over the fight and surrendered
And turned Grants army adrift
To struggle to the North again.
All, well, there's many a rift
In the rock of hardy persistence
Before a success is made;
Tom came back with shattered arm
And his left eye in a shade.
Yet | remember the night that Tom,
Together with Brown and me,
Was stretched out on Southern cot
Twas in eighteen sixty-three.
! think ii was after Port Hudson;
Young Brown was crazy and daft;
He cried for mother" and sister"
And shouted and yelled and laughed.
Until Rivers and / would rather
Have been in the battles range
Than to hear his mournful raving
That stopped at the word Exchange"
In less than an hour, when the surgeon
Had picked us by choice and lot,
Brown was passed, but ticket fell
On the sheet of Rivers cot.
And Rivers stepped on the broken floor,
With his left arm hanging down,
Took the ticket and turned 1t once,
Then fastened it right on Brown!
We all got back. But young Brown and
Were carried on fortunes prov,
While Tom went down-but who can say
That he is not higher now2
