Our esteemed contemporary. the Every
Evening, wobbles like duck with a
game leg when It ventures upon disultors
excursions into financial matters. The
Saturdays headlines said
state Cash Straight" "Mr Herbert
has given check in full payment"
These staten ,nts would seem to indi
cate that MIR. Herbert did not owe the
state anything whatever, and yet
Treasurer Burnite has been attempting
to get possession of tho states funds ever
since be assumed the duties Of bis Office.
But, stranger even than that, the same
paper on the same day, after explaining
how Mr. Herbert has made a full
settlement" with the ex-state treasurer,
says:
This pecuniary responsibility the ex-
treasurer has shouldered and to that end
has handed to Treasurer Buinite check
In full for the amount which will be paid
without fail next week.
The statements "full settlement" and
"by check" (which will be paid WITHOUT
FAIL next week, are not consistent with
each other and do not reflect credit on an
official who has had notice, at least since
November, that be must pay over the
iduciary funds, which should have been
convertible on any day with the shortest
possible notice, and are still unpaid
In the same paper the ratified editor
splutters away without reason, without
logic and, If 1t is not too harsh tern
we might say without sense, thus.
Those who read Every Evening with
any reasonable degree Of carefulness
know thar Ii has not said, nor intimated
that eK-Treasurer Herbert has had 4 final
settlement with his successor, Treasurer
8urnite On the contrary Every Evening
does not yet know that such a settle
ment has been had. What 1t did say in
its Dover despatch Of Thursday was that
Mr.. Herbert had arrived there for the
express purpose Of making a settlement
quoting Mr. Herberts own language as
10 what he owed the state and what he
proposed to do. We do not contract 10
furnish brains to those who cannot com
prehend the distinction between report
ing what a man says and what the same
man subsequently does or does not as the
case may be.
What the financial genius needs to ex
plain is the chronological enigma he has
created in making distinction between
"a final settlement which he ssys that
Mr.. Herbert has not made and THE set
Element which be has made.
Now IN our plain common sense way Of
dealing with the Queens English we
esteem 3 settlement to be final or not a
settlement at all.

The face Of Preston b. Plumb, Of Kan
sas, not handsome at best, is pitted by
smallpox. Said man the other day who
knows him; Each Of these smallpox pits
on Plumb's face is a medal Of honor. In
the early days of Kansas Emporia was a
booming town and Mr.. Plumb was an inn
pecunious printer. He gathered money
enough together, however to start a little
weekly newspaper in the town and was
doing fairly well with it and had almost
paid up his debts. There ran a rumor
through the new town one day that a
stranger tramp had been suddenly smitten
with smallpox, and that the epidemic was
IN danger Of spreading. The rumor meant
ruin TO the embryo municipality, and so
the friendless ana stricken man was hur-
ried out on the prairies, far from the city,
and left there in a log cabin to do the best
he could for himself
There was no one to care for him, and
Of course it was wrestle with death. In
his dingy, one room editorial and printing
office Preston b. Plumb heard the story.
He closed the place. started out to the log
house where the sick man lay, and for
weeks nursed him and cared for him until
he was saved from death. Then he lay
down himself, stricken by the fell disease;
but hearts had grown tenderer in that
Kansas town and kindly hands ministered
to him until he, too, was saved. st
