THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RESIGNED TO
RESERVATIONS.

Puck is getting in some good work on
the Raum family. Its last illustration
embodying Secretary Noble, old Raum
and young Raum, is neat but not gaudy.
The fact is that the pension bureau has
become something distressingly malo-
dorous. Even Harrison was obliged to
get rid OF Tanner, and it looks very
much as if Raum senior will have to
walk the plank. Young Raum was per-
mitted to resign, after selling all the ap-
pointments he could in his fathers bu-
reau at 5000 piece. Puck makes the
point that one OF the salient peculiari-
ties of Republican administrations is
the ready good humor with which Re-
publican peculators and mal-adminis-
traitors are permitted to resign. In a
little cabinet cartoon, hanging on the
wall of its principal effort, appears a
counterfeit present ment of Gen. W. W.
Belknap, Grants secretary of war, who
was permitted to resign on March 7th,
1876. Belknap's offence was the
trifing one of selling post-traderships.
The facts were so scandalous that
his impeachment was about to be moved
in the house of representatives when
President Grant permitted the disgraced
man the easy escape of resignation.
That spirit evidently lives still. Tanner
was allowed to resign. There was no
allegation in his case that he had stolen
anything. He simply showed de-
termined disposition to hand anybody
who said that he had been in the war
from $15, 900 to SIC, 900 for back pensions.
1t was felt even in the white house that
if he were allowed rope for year or so
there would not be SO much as a sou
marquee left in the treasury of the
United States. Even a dishonest
man, stealing only for himself and
an average family, was prefer
able to Tanner, and Raum was
placed on guard. That latter worthy had
only just succeeded in getting himself
whitewashed by Republican congress
sional committee for compelling his sub
ordinates to buy stock in his private en-
terprises, at his own figure, when his
promising son forged to the fore and be-
gan to peddle out offices, at so much per
capita. The people of the United States
are restive at such performances. How
much worse would it have been if Tan
ner, the honest and hearty high ap-
praiser of patriotism, had been allowed
to go ON blowing in the surplus at $16,-
600 man. Perhaps the American
people do not know when they are well
off, and the Raums should be allowed to
stay. 1t seems to be something of the
unattainable to hope for Republican
pension commissioner like Mr.. Cleve-
lands appointee, General Black, him
self gallant and MANNED soldier, who
saw to it that every just demand OF the
nations defenders should receive proper
attention, but who also took care that
an atmosphere of rigid honesty and
responsibility should pervade every
nook and corner of his great bureau.

THE LAST ROSE.

flushed is the voice that held our hearts en-
thralled-
flushed ere life's wine on those glad lips had
palled;
flushed in its joyous prime, while trophies
Still breathed their fragrance at the singers
feet
And she who sang "The Last Rose" DER and DER
Since first her girlish hands songs scepter
grasped,
Linking it with her name from shore to shore.
Lies with the last rose in her fingers clasped
AS seal Of science.
Dear the singers fame,
But dearer still each tender household name
We knew her by--wife, daughter, sister, friend
And while the passing years her praise pro-
long,
With her LAST Rose" In loving thought shall
blend
The roselike life she welded to her song.

Sound ADVICE ABOUT Exercise.


The craze for severe exercise has been
growing among women for thepast three
or four years, until now it is question
whether more injury than benefit is not
derived from it. There is no doubt that
women need certain amount of exer
else. The good effects of brisk mile
walk in the morning, and another before
retiring at night is undeniable. An
hours ride on horseback may be added
to this, if woman is not too delicate.
The women who take the regular daily
walks of from five to ten miles, and re-
main for hours in the saddle, on big,
powerful, hard gated trotter, are inva-
riably Gin this country the slight, nerv-
GUS, wiry little creatures who have not
pound of flesh to lose. Consequently,
this wear and tear on their strength and
nerves will in time cause collapse,
especially if this violent exercise has
been adopted after living for years life
of Incidence. Could stout women be
persuaded to overcome the feeling of
extreme fatigue, which they experience
after their first long walks, and continue
them regularly, and at rapid gait, as
near running as possible, for a few
weeks, the burden of superfuous flesh
would soon be reduced, and their former
activity return. The trouble is that the
wrong women do the exercising.
Do not carry it to extremes. Cut down
your walk to two or three miles day.
Take your ride in the morning and limit
it to an hour. You cannot get too much
fresh air, so drive and stroll out of doors
as much as you can, but do not wear out
your body and bring premature lines
into your face by excessive exercise

GOT HIS SENTENCE.

A Hoosier Lawyer Punished for Engi-
neering a Gang OF Burglars.
INDIANAPOLIS, June q Lemon f..
Reinhold, charged with conspiracy, was
today found guilty and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment, with a fine OF $50.
Reinhold was employed as the lawyer
of Burglar Horton and Cincinnati
crooks, and became their leader in bur-
glary. Taking offense at publication
IN the Daily News, it was asserted that
he directed the gang to burglarze City
Editor Croan's house, rip up the car
pets and stick knife into him. The
burglars were detected and Horton
"peached'' on Reinhold. The state
proved conspiracy, and the lawyer this
morning got his sentence.

BOGUS CHECKS.
A Slick Operator Succeeds in Victim
izing Riverside Merchants.

izing Riverside Merchants.
For some time past there has been a
young dapper looking fellow hanging
around our street corners, says the River
side Press. He dressed well and did not
let work trouble him in the least. He
sailed under the name of Joe Edwards,
but whether this is his true name or not
is question unsolved.
The places and haunts that knew Ed
wards, know him no more, for he has
skipped, no one seems to know whittier.
The sudden leaving of the man would
amount to no great moment, if it were
not for the fact that just before
leaving he had victimized several
of our business men out of
various amounts. His method OF pro-
cedure, to obtain funds, was to go into
a store where he owed small bill and
offer in payment of it check, purport-
ing to be signed by Cook & Langley,
which the merchant would cash, taking
out the amount due him and return Ed
wards the balance in coin.
Just the amount that Edwards mar
aged to get away with in this manner it
is hard to learn, but we know of over
fifty dollars he secured.
Edwards is a slick rascal and his
proper place is in San Quentin, where
no doubt he will soon land. Edwards
came to this city from San Diego, where
he formerly conducted a boot black
stand. He is man probably 25 years
of age, dark skinned, stout build, peaked
face, square shoulders, and face very
much freckled. The officers have been
put on his track and no doubt will soon
land him in Jail. His operations were
conducted last Friday.

$I7, 500 per week, or 100000 a year from
the local patients alone. In addition there
are those treated at home. Medicine for
these is shipped at 80 case.
An average Of 200 cases are
sent from Dwight every day, making an i'd
ditional e655, 200 year. This makes total
income of 81 ,J6j, 200 year from patients

$500. 900 has been paid in this way by the
twenty odd branches already started. DR..

WHERE Is HURLBERTp

That is the Question Asked by the
Ex-Journalist's Friends.
1t is no surprise to those who have known
something of William Henry Hurlbert's
movements, says New York special to the
Philadelphia Press, that warrant for his
arrest has been granted by the London
courts, and that bis extradition will be
asked on the ground of perjury or suborns =
tion Of perjury. That is a crime which b as
only recently been added to the list of ex-
traditable offenses agreed upon between the
United States and Great Britain. Private
information reached the country some
weeks ago that there has been discovered in
London what seemed to be positive proof
that Mr.. Hurlbert had been guilty of this
crime, in connection with the famous suit
In which be was a defendant and where his
defense was that he had been impersonated
by man whom he called Wilfred Murray
Mr.. Hurlbsrt must have received an inti-
nation of this sort himself. Ever since hi S

has been more or less conspicuous socially.
He has been the guest for some time Of ex-
Mayor Hewitt, and 1t has been due to Mr..
Hewitt's staunch friendship that he has not
been socially ignored. People who did not
watch the case very closely, and who did
not know MIR. Hurlbsrt very we'll, have
felt that IT would be impossible for Mr..
Hewitt TO extend hospitality to man OF
sucn character as was indicated In the trial
if the charges were true.
OF course, among men of the world. who
know something of Mr.. Hurlberts career,
there has always been incredulity, TO say
the least, respecting his defense For the
last three weeks nobody has been able to
discover where Mr. Hurlbert is. He went
away from New York ostensibly, aud the
suspicion is that he may have gone so that
he may prepare himself fully when the
warrant is served upon him. If the
information which comes from police
headquarters is true, Mr.. Hurlbert has
been unconsciousIy attended In his travels
