AN EDITOR HEArp FROM.

A legend says that an editor died
and slowly wended his way along
the path to where he supposed a
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said "For
many years thou hast borne the
blame for many errors that printers
have made in thy paper. The pa
per has gone, alas, fol $500 and
$500 often failed to come in. The
printers have deviled thee on Sat.
urday nights for wages when thou
hadst not one cent to thy name.
Men have taken the paper without
paying for il aud cursed the for not
getting out a better paper. Thou
hast been called n deadbeat by tile
passenger conductors when thou
hast shown thy ANNUAL pass to their
envious gaze. All these thou hast
borne in silence. Thou must not
cofie In here" And he fired him
away. "Heaven is thy home, and
besides il &e let him come in here
he would be continually dunning
hs delinquent subscribers, for hell
Is full of them, and thus cause dis.
order in my kingdom, -ErcAanos.

MORE REPUBLICAN RAsCALlTY.
R"ttenness in the Banner Republican
State Of the Union.

Affairs in Pennsylvania are IN a
bad condition and proclamation
has been issued by Gov. Pattison
oonvening the Senate In extraordi.
nary session on Tuesday. October
l3, 1891. The preamble sets forth
that grave charges have been made
against the Auditor General and
State Treasurer most seriously re.
iectlng upon the discharge of their
official duties, so that il is proper
dlligent inquiry should be made TO
ascertain whether or not ''reasona.
bic cause exists for their removal;
that there is conviction in the pub
Inc mind that they have been gross
ly inefficient and entirely wanting
IN due fidelity; that If the charges
be established the Senate should
take action looking to the removal
of the officers. 1t is set forth that
much of the State money lost
through Bardsley would be in the
treasury IL the Auditor General and
State Treasurer had performed their
duties with fidelity, and further
that Bardsley's refusal to disclose
any information whatever as to the
conduct of these officials, has com
polled the abandonment of proposed
criminal prosecutions, at least for a
time. Proper inquiry by the Senate,
the Governor thinks, may develop
evidence sufficient to satisfy its mem-
bers that reasonable cause exists for
the removal of the Auditor General
and State Treasurer. The Governor
also addressed a communication TO
Senator Smith, chairman Of the
committee appointed to investigate
the offices OF tho Auditor General
and State Treasurer, asking that
he permit the Attorney General to
be present and participate in the
further Investigations of his com
mittce.

kingman connty, is all torn up
over a robbery Of grain, the audac-
lty of which is unparalleled. A lit
tie south of the town stood ten ricks
of wheat. the property of John
Marrick, whose own farm is in the
western part Of the county, but
who had rented this extra land and
put it in wheat. Marrick is COM
paratively stranger in the Nor.
w;ch district, so the sharper who
conceived the robbery had no trouble
IN passing himself off as the Gamer
Of the wheat.
The whole thing was perfectly ar
ranged. On the plea of being sub.
jcct to suns:roke, and therefore
unable to work IN the hot sun, the
unknown man easily persuaded the
threshers to put in a nights work
with the machine. There were
enough toamstcrs to haul off the
grain as it came from the machine.
it being only short distance from
Norwich. There n grain dealer was
in waiting to receive the grain and
at cock crow over half the product
OF the ten ricks had been safely de-
livered and the money for nearly a
thousand bushels of grain handed
over to the alleged owner. Whom
work ceased for the day the EN-.
p!oyer arranged with the threshers
and teamsters to be there again at
night, when the rest of the gram
should be throshed and the work
paid for. When the early morning
oast- bound train left Norwich, how
ever, the man who had stolen the
wheat was aboard with big roll of
bills I'm his wallet, and nothing has
been heard Of him since.

DEER WHIPS BULL.
An Exciting Fight I'm a Pasture Field
Witnessed by Farmer.
A scrAnton. Pa., plsnatch

A Scranton, Pa, Dispatch.
Abner NJ. Goodrich. who lives on
Panther Hill, thirteen miles south
Of this city, saw buck deer stroll
ing along the edge of a piece of
woods on his place few days ago.
Suddenly the buck stopped, threw
back his antlcrs, and began gazing
toward the farming buildings. In
hillside pasture field, twenty rods
below the buck, Mr.. Goodrich S
heri of cattle were grazing. All ut
once the buck caught sight of tho
cattle, aud. leaping over the fence,
bounded down the hillside toward
them. The cows became frightened
at the bucks sudden appearance,
aud with their tails IN the air they
cantered to corner of the pasture.
The bull in the herd did not run.
Whom the buck saw the cows ca
pering away he came to a sudden
stop. The bull Immediately faced
the strange animal, beloved saw
agely and began to paw up the dirt.
At first the buck acted as il he
didn't know what to make OF the
noisy bulls actions. lIo backed of
a few feet, and the bull slowly fol-
lowed him. The bull made lunge
at the buck with lowered horns, and
the buck got out of his way by
bounding to one side. This was
repeated a number of times, the
bull becoming more angry at each
failure to gore the buck, while the
buck eyed his noisy antagonist and
kept ont of his reach.
Finally the buck began to get mad
at the way the bull was making him
shift his ground. When the bull
again lunged at him he uttered a
loud bleat, bounded in the air, and
struck the bull in the neck. One
of the bulls horns pierced the
bucks shoulder, and then the
bucks fighting nature was aroused
to the highest pitch. lie danced all
around the bull, jammed his prongs
into the bulls sides, struck him
with his sharp hoofs, and didn t
give the ball another chance to gore
him.
Soon the bucks energetic and
fierce attack completely demoralized
the bull. lie made one moro effort
to down his lively antagonist, but
failed TO hook him, while the buck
got in another telling strike on the
bulls ribs. Then the bull gave a
below Of rage, turned tail like a
flash and ran at the top of his speed
TO where tile COWS were huddled.
For moment the triumphant buck
| stood and glzed at the fugitive bull.
Then he whirlcd, legged it up the
hill, scaled the fence and disappear
ed in the forest. The bull was 60
badly injured that Mr. Goodrich
had to kill him.

The Goyeanor Of Florida and the
Secretary Of State are just now at

Of a United States Senator. Secrc-

Governor Fleming TO succeed Sena-

seem confident Of forcing The Secrc-
tary to attest Dayidson's appoint

Ncpotism and Rcpublicanism
have long been synonymous terms
III Washington. but sensation was
nevertheless created this week when
it came out that three employees Of
the Pension Office had made afii-
davits and submitted them to Sec
retary Noble charging that they
had been approached by the same
son OF Commissioner Raum, who
was some months ago allowed TO
resign his posidon as appointment
clerk in the Pension Office when he
should have been put in prison for
having engaged in the selling Of
appointments and promotions un-
der his father, with proposition to
have them promoted by his father II
they would pay him certain
amount Of cash. After these afIi-
davits had been made and Commits
sloner Raun had been called upon
for an explanation, that official had
the cheek to ask Secretary Noble to
dismiss the clerks who made them,
on the ground that they were en-
gagged in a conspiracy to injure him
(Raum) and the Pension Office.
