rhe Case Ccncisely Stated.

The testimony given 10y Auditor-Gen-
eral McCamant and State Treasurer
Bower. as elected by the searching queS-
tions of Attorney General Hensel. con-
clusiyely establishes the following law
less acts committed by the Auditor Cen
eial and State Treasurer:
/. That they lawlessly diverted from
the sinking fund, on January l, 1891,
thesum of S425 900, by a payment to
Bardsley on school warrants, when
Bardsley was indebted over 81 900, 900
to the State
>. That the 1926, 900 was not only
deverted from the sinking fund in open
violation of law. but it was taken from
the Treasury on school warrants which
were equally in violation of law The
school appropriation was not then avail
able under the law, and there Is no pre-
cedent for such Il payment.
3:'That they persistenly refused to
enforce the positive mandate of the law
that require prompt settlement from the
City Treasury, or to place the delIn-
quent accounts in the hands of the attor-
ney- General, when they knew that
Bardsley was long in the arrears for
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
thus enabled Bardsley to steal money.
t. That they paid Bardsley s15O, 600
on account of commissioners on SIS2,-
600. when he owed the entire amount of
S7S2, 900. and more.
5 That they as testified by both the
Auditor General and State Treasurer.
paid the school warrants and the COM
mission lawlessly to Bardsley, solely to
reduce the amount of money IN the
/ Treasury and thus prevent its approprla-
ton to the Sinking Fund, where Its
speculative use would end.
Such are the facts as testified to by
the Auditor General and State Treasurer
themselves, and what answer can be
made to this studied and persistent law
lessness that opened wide the door for
the Bardsley robbery Phild. Times

A Female MOOnshiner.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct Sword
has just been received here that Lucy
McClellep, a notorious woman moon
shinger, was captured near Lincoln court
house on Saturday. She is twenty-one
years old and an amazon in strength and
courage. For two years she has peddled
illicit whisky to thousands of workmen
engaged in the construction of the Nor

shals have made frequent attemps to ar

A CIRCULAR has been sent to County
Commissioners and Sheriffs of the State
by the Secretary of the Commonwealth
informing them as to the manner of
printing tickets for the proposed Con-
stitutional Convention. He saws the
expense of tickets must be met by the
political party organizations or voters
themselves There should be no in
scription on the .eutside of the tickets
''for or against the convention but
the tickets 10 be voted for Members-at-
large should have ON the outside the
words. Delegates at large and should
ibe printed separately. The tickets to be
voted for district members should haEe
on Ahe outside the words District dele
gates, and should be printed separate
ly. Ii sill thus be seen that there should
be three separate tickets for the use of
voters who desire to vote for or against
a Constitutional Convention and for the
election of delegates thereto.

Good Roads.

When the people can be made to un-
derstand that it actually costs more in
time and money to travel over poor
road, than good one, they will be less
inclined to begrudge the expense of
good roads. and what is more important
still will be willing and anxious to pat
the business of noad-makins in the
hands of intelligent men who under
stand the business. Poor roads are the
most expensive things that curse couu-

THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.

Noteworthy in the history of Mime
apolis will be to-day, when the city will
be crowded with visitors. and demon
STATIONS of the most extraordinary char
acter made in honor of the great harvest
which has clothed this quarter of our
country. Popular interest and enthu-
siaSm have been reused to the highest
point, and the whole district tributary to
these two cities has been invited to the
display. The ingenuity of the people
of the Flour City has been stimulated by
their sense of local patriotism, and they
expect to Guido any effort of similar
sort which has heretofore been attempt
ed in the Northwest. IT the day proves
fairly pleasant. and the spectators are
spared the torture Of the intense sun
rays which have made the past week so
hard to bear, there is every promise of a
brilliant and memorable occasion, which
will we'll repay many miles of travel to
see.
The idea has been advanced in SOM
places that festivities over the new
crops are premature, and, if not pre-
mature, at least are ill-advised. They
who think in this way claim that IL
would be policy to disguise our abun-
dance, that out of the worlds despair we
may reap the fullest return. There
might be something in this were it prac-
ticable, but it is not. Individual graft
fication over an exceptional harvest is
bound to make itself known in the quiet
Boosting on the country road, and the
prospect of unwonted profits grows into
a chorus of mutual congratulations in
every village street ard center Of con-
gregating. Out of a union of many
voices raised in an accord of satIsfac-
ton come. spontaneously and superior
to resistance or the suggestions Of pru-
dence, scenes of exultation like harvest
festivals with their parades and festiy-
tiles. They are not to be suppressed or
postponed, because they speak the feel
ings of the heart, and arc but formal
and regulated outburst of a prevailing
and dominating popular opinion.

THE HEAT.

Hard to endure has been the unprec-
edented and protracted heat of the
past week; and the dead and steaming
days, uninterrupted even at night by
cool hreeZes or lower temperature, have
strained the strength of many man
who supposed that he was stout enough
for any ordinary ordeal. One great trou-
bic has been that we are quite unaccus-
toned to such experiences. In our Sc
verest winters we seldom have more
than three or four successive days of
extreme cold, and in the conventional
summers the thermometer does not usu-
ally range high for longer period than
this; and after shutdown in any event
there is apt to be cessation Of the
strain, even though it may have to be
resumed the following morning. But
now for more than twice that time tired
men and women have tossed on feverish
beds, and viewed with despair the
breaking of new day which
promised no change from the day
before. The woods in the country
have burst into flame under the scorch-
ing rays of the sun, and farmers have
UGell QTlfGn lIOLH TIE UeluS 10 places OF
shelter and protection. In the cities the
schools have been closed because it was
cruel to keep the children in attendance,
and Office and store have been scenes of
reluctant and painful eXertion. People
have postponed engagements and duties
to more convenient season. and idle
ness has been the ideal of suffering hui
mainly. Windows have not been large
enough to admit the air, and the streets
have been thronged at night by loungers
and saunterers searching for a breeze.
Their voices float about like the dull
drOningiof insects which one hears on
July afternoon, and then again are
drowned by the whir of the passing cleo
trio trains or the notes of some distant
piano, thrummed by performer striv-
ing to forget his own discomfort and
careless of the sufferings OF others who
have to endure his discords with nerves
already unstrung by the unutterable
weather. Distressing, indeed. are days
and nights such as we are enduring.

ANOTHER GAMBLER GONE.

Nobody ought to feel sorry for the
suspension of S. V. WHITE. If his
suspension really meant failure, and
that he would engage no more in the
pernicious trade with which he has been
connected. it would be public blessing.
This, however, is probably not its mean
ing. No doubt he has secured beyond
attack and danger considerable fort
une, and after bit he will res ume, as
so many others before him have done.
WHITE lives in Brooklyn, where he is
prominent in church circles, and for
single term he sat in the national house
of representatives. By profession he
has been gambler. with an Office on
Wall street. The crops OF the country
have been his layout, and he has
tried to manipulate them so as
to bring him profit, no mat
ter how much both the producers
and consumers suffered by his thimble-
rigging. He has been conspicuous in
the class of men who have stood be-
tween the farmer ana his natural mar
ket, and by tricks and devices have de-
ranged the regular order of business
and converted legitimate commerce into
the semblance of pool room or faro
bank. Spectators who deal in the food
of the masses and raise or depress its
price by artificial measures unconnected
with the laws of supply and demand, who
now build a dam SO that the necessities
of life cannot be bad at all, and again
remove all barriers so that what has
been boarded pours forth III swollen
current. Improbable to those who have
toiled to produce it-such men are YAM
pires proving on humanity. Sometimes
they get caught, as has Deacon"
WHITE, and are swept away in the ruin
they had planned for others. The
GLOBE repeats that when this really
happens no Que ought to be sorry. The
only reason for regret is that it does not
happen oftener.

LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.
Old Soldiers Had the Right of Line
in Filing

HI Fllln&.
GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. %. = The
scene at the land office here to-day was
lively one. About 250 old soldiers,
armed with declaratory statements,
have been in line before the office door
for four days past. Some have slept in
chairs, some on the ground, and some
hardly at all. Meals were brought to
them by their wives, children or friends.
The weather has been pleasant, but
the vetetenS were accustomed to hard
ship, and did not mind the incon-
veniences. When the hour of
little excitement, the men in line being
nearly the only people left i'll town,
most every one having gone to the bor-
| der TO either join in the rush or witness
| it. The first man IN the line was
| John Diamond. When noon arrived
| he handed his papers to Receiver
| Barber 10 make the necessary eX-
| animation of them. The papers
| were then passed up to the chief of this
land Office. Mr.. Diamond passed to the
next window and handed in his Sl4 and
was handed receipt for the same. On
! passing out of the land office he was met
| by his family and congratulated.
There was no disturbance about the
| office, and the business of fling the
statements proceeded quietly and
| swiftly. At Z O'Clock all the old SOL
diers had got in their papers. The line
| did not decrease in length, however, for
| after o'clock settlers who had located
their claims in the new lands began to
| arrive to file their entry notices.
| For every other soldier that stepped
out of the head of the line fresh
claimant stepped into place at its end.
The land Office kept open until Z
| o'clock. At that time fully 200 were
| still in line, and others were arriving
| every minute.
A dispatch from Oklahoma City says:
| 1t was expected there would be a riot
at the land Office when it opened for
| business at noon to-day. The crowd
| which has surrounded it for the last
| four days became very boisterous last
night, and this morning it was found
necessary to guard the Office with
deputy United States marshals.
| The latter succeeded in preserving
| the peace. and there was no disturb
| ance. Old soldiers declaratory state
ments were filed during the day to the
number of $50. This evening hundreds
| of claimants are returning from the
lands and lining up before the land
office door, preparatory to filing their
entry notices.
