PROJECTION DID NOT SAVE IT.
Death ofan Organ of High Tariff In Mont

AMSTERDAM, \. Y, March 4.-The
Little Falls Herald, an organ OF high
tariff In this county, has suspended. II

year and a half afo, purely in the inter
ests of protection. The town had then
one flourishing daily, the Times. There
is a population in the town OF about
5000, but the mill men wanted protec-
tion reading for the masses. The peo-
pie well understood the inspiration Of
the new venture and they refused to
support il. Charles Baily, OF the Little
Falls Knitting Mills Company, was the
President and Charles King, Of the Sax
Ony Mills was financially interested In
II.
at the last election the Herald was
widely circulated as Scampaen literature
Its circulation soon began to fall of.
in their blindness through high tariff
preiudices, the hackers Of the paper re-
fused to see the cause of It's waning cir

derstood that the men who were preach

beginning to cut wages they refused to
support the paper any longer. The
straw that broke the camefs back was
the reduction of wages in the Saxony
mills. Subscriptions were withdrawn
daily and on Saturday there was moth

DELAWARE FUNDS MISSING.
over $4,000 Ia Cash and Securities that
Have Disappeared

hhNt DtsdppfaIcu
WILMINGToN. DEL, March 4.-The
little State of Delaware is In the midst
of one Of the biggest sensations that il
has enjoyed for years. Ex-State Treas
urer William Herbert, one of its most
trusted citizens, ii is charged, Is short
in his accounts about S34, 411.T5, and the
State securities which were entrusted
in his hands for safe keeping, valued at
about $40, 600, are missing
Herbert had been for a long time a
leader in the politics of the State, when
he was made Treasurer. The State has
had for a number Of years a surplus Of
several hundred thousand dollars. and
much Of the profits OF the past State
TrcaSurers has been made or loaning
this money. While the law does not
sanction this. it has been pretty gener-
ally acQuieSced in. Herbert served
until the meeting OF the Legislature in
January. AT that time Wilbur II. Bur
mite, OF FELTON,, was elected his success
SOr. In his statement to the new Treas
urer it, was shown that there was
due the State Sl47, ,li2.ll in
cash. about $50, 600 in the stock
OF the Farmers Bank of Delaware and
the National Bank Of Delaware, the
bonds of the school fund, and four
hundred-thousand- dollar mOrtage on the
junction and Breakwater Railroad, a
branch OF the Pennsylvania system.
There was considerable delay in the
payment Of the cash on hand, and IL was
February before S74, 725.39 of il VAS
turned over Then long lapse ensued,
and Mr.. Burnite began to grow very
anxious. tie communicated finally the
condition of a1lirS TO several OF
the members of the State Senate, and q
conference was held. The greatest Sc
crecy was maintained, but a correspond
ent Of one of the local papers heard of
what happened and sent the news to his
paper. This preciptated crisis. Mr.
Burnite went TO New Castle, the home
of the eN-TreaSurer, aud insisted on
settlement. He found Mr.. Herbert in
am intoxicated condition, and after some
parleying, the latter agreed to settle the
balance due. He gave Mr.. Burnite two
checks for 500, 900 each and another for
3l,4l7.37. He requested that the first
check be held until Monday.
On Friday Burnite again visited Her
bert and asked about the second check,
and Herbert said to him he would write
to him when he could US it. As yet.
however Mr. Buruite has not heard
anything whatever from either OF the
two checks. As TO the first one, 1000
on il has been paid, according TO the
statement both of the cashiers OF the
Farmers Bank Of New Castle and Frank
+. Herbert, son OF the eX-TreaSurer.
The most serious aspect OF the whole
affair is the alleged hypothecation Of
about $40. 900 of the States stock in the
banks These consist Of 1,215 shares Of
the FarmerS's Bank and forty shares of
the Bank OF Delaware. These certiti-
cats were supposed to be in tin box
kept in the Farmers Bank at Dover.
Burnite got the box after his election.
and. upon examination, found il empty.
He asked Herbert about the securities,
and Herbert said he had never seen
them and knew nothing about them.
knows what has become OF
them. or when they disappeared from
the box.

Six Men Drowned.

PRINCETON, KY. March News has
reached here Of terrible casualty on
the Cumberland river, a short distance
from this place, last Monday. Curtis
Boy, a merchant Of Canton, started a
raft in charge of six men for Paducah,
and when day out they were overtaken
by a terrible gale. They managed to get
the raft into the bank, but the high
waves broke it from its moorings and 1t
drfted into mid stream. The steamer
Reagan passed the scene and the water
was running over the raft. The man
gave signals Of distress, but the boat
fearing to go to the wreck, passed by
without making an effort to rescue
them. II is supposed that the raft
struck drift pile and went under with
the men.

Plans must be made now. II will be too
/ late for the next Legislature. Let us
while we can do so correct the mistakes
of the past, and put our State on level
with others.
Mr.. Arbuckle thought there were IN
telligent, liberal men In West Virginia,
and their eyes are on US. Make fair,
liberal appropriation, but not an extraya-
CANT one West Virginia is a rich
State and ought to show her wealth.
The people OF Italy said; "See Naples
and die" He wanted Italy and the
whole world 10 see West Virginia and
live.
Mr. Whitaker said he would vote for
$50, 900, but thought il was not large
enough. He thought we ought not hide
our light under a buShel. He also
thought that il our people were tax
ridden and poor. there was no better way
TO rid them of this trouble than TO in
duce foreign capital % come here and
buy our lands. or coal, and help repair
our miserable roads.
Mr.. 81. Clair explained that the
scheme was not one 20 advertise the re-
sources OF wealthy capitalists. but to
give poor people a chance to exhibit
their products.
Mr. Whitaker withdrew his amend
meut and Mr. Sheppard'S amendment
was voted down. The Senate then took
q recess. Al the night session, Mr.. Ar
buckle iu the Chair. Mr.. McCreery
moved 10 amend by making the appro-
priatlou $4,000, which he thought was
amply sufficient with what private con-
tributionS will be received. The
amendment was discussed and
adopted. The substitute was
further amended by making the Treas
urer's bond 1000. aud extending the
time of the Commissioners Office till
May, iSaL These amendments were
adopted and the bill ordered TO It's third
reading
The substitute adopted is a good one
aud makes u fairly liberal appropria-
tion. The necessary safeguards are
placed around the money, and the eN-
penses or per diem Of none but
those appointed under its provisions
shall be- paid out Of the money thus APP
propriated. The commissioners all

is TO be equally divided,

substitute. as amended, suits all parties
In the senate very well.

MINNESOTA WANTS CLEVELAND.
Judge Wilson Says the state Will Go Dem
ocratic i'm 1892.

CHICAGO. March 4.-Iudge Thomas
Wilson. OF Minnesota, was here to-day.
He lacked a few votes of being elected
Governor OF Minnesota, and he is hope
ful Of the success of the Democratic
ticket in the State in 1892.
IT the party j. lead by Cleveland in
iS42." said Judge Wilson, Il believe
that Minnesota will break away from
the Republican ranks and give its elec-
toral vote 10 the Democrats. As the
Legislature that will elect a United
States Senator is TO be chosen at the
same election. il is fair TO presume that
the complexion of the Legislature will
be the same aS that OF the electoral
vote. MIR. Cleveland silver letter has
made him many friends among the fair
minded men Of both parties.
II were an enemy of Cleveland |
should bc compelled to admire him for
the fcarlessness with which he always
saws and does what he believes TO be
right. without regard TO the political
policy of the matter. The most import
ant thing that Mr.. Cleveland has done
for the Democratic &rty is not that he
has advocated a reduction OF the tarln,
nor is it that he has come out as being
opposed 10 free coinage, but il II that
he has overcome a feeling Of distruSt as
To Democratic leaders. Many men who
found il necessary 70 break away from
the corruptness of the Republicanparty
in 1854 voted Tor Cleveland with many
miSgivingS.
For a generation the Democrats had
been out Of power. The Democrats
were accused by the Republicans for
twenty years after the war OF bcin all
that was untruStworthy and diSrepu-
table. When Cleveland was elected,
some people actually thought that the
country was ruined, but after his clear
record a change has come over public
sentiment, and business men no longer
listen to the old school of the bloody
shirt"

STRIKE SITUATION
In the Coke Regions strikers Hold Meet
iuRs Daily.

ScoTrDALE, PA, March Mass
meetings are daily being held through
out the coke regions to encourage
strikers, and particular attention is be-
ing devoted to PennSville. where Opera
tor Dilinger announces he is going to
start at the old wages, if possible. A
report reached here tonight that an
explosion had occurred in the PAUL
mine OF Operator Rainey, and
that two men were injured, one
dangerously. The report cannot be
verified, but full credence is given it.,
as Rainey is running ia opposition to
the strikers, while his Grace mine is
still burning, it being claimed that the
strikers fired the latter. The German
socialists met here to-day and endorsed
the strike. The cokers have called a
special convention in Jniontown next
Thursday, when it is thought some ef-
fort will be made to agree on less arbi-
trary demands.
