City Treasurer Bardsley, of
Philadelphia who has just ''fail-
ed" with a large amount of pub
lie money-lost to sight but dear
to memory-has been arrested,
and the case is strong against
him AS an accomplice OF the
Keystone Bank President, Mar sh.
Governor Patterson has very
promptly made use of the power
given him by the Constitution of
PENNSYLVANIA to require informa-
ton in points of these kind. The
Governor desires to see if any
thing can be done to protect the
interest of the State.
Probably not, unless the Treas
urer can find a Cameron to make
up the deficiency, az Quay did.
But fancy Delamater looking
after entertainments had he been
elected Governor!

North Carolina was not repre-
sented at the Cincinnati conven-
tion last week, and neither was
Virginia or Alabama. Congress-
man-elect Livingston, of Georgia,
was present, and told the con-
vention that the Alliancemen of
the South were not going to quit
the Democratic party, and was
hOwled down as the bearer of
unwelcome news. He stood
alone as the representative of
the hundreds OF thousands of
Southern Democratic Alliance
men, but he held his ground
bravely and proudly declared
the fidelity of his people. They
will justify his declarations
when the test comes. Statesville

Barnu1n's Ashes Disturbed.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June IA
daring attempt to steal the body of
P. T. Barnum, the. dead Snowman,
was made about o'clock yesterday
morning by ghouls. The Waterman
was aroused by the sound of a pick.
He quietly aroused his companion,
and both proceeded in the direction
of the grave, whence the sounds
came. They crept to within dozen
feet of the tomb without being
heard. One then asked "Who
is there I" No reply came, but the
work stopped and one of the men
exclaime: "Ran boys, for your life ;
we are caught"

The federal supreme court, in
sustaining the constitutionallity
of the original package act, de-
clares that congress has the
power to outlay any article OF
commerce between the states,
and that it may delegate his
power to the states. Under this
decision congress may at any
time exclude from one state the
products of another, or apply to
interstate trade the same restric-
lions it now places upon our
trade with foreign countries. Of
course these conclusions, stated
in plain language, will startle
every body, but this is our status
until the court reverses it's decis-
ion. Isn't monstroust to have our
highest court hold that congress
is invested with such dangerous
powers?

INGALLS'S WARNING.

At a meeting of the republican
editors of the seventh congress
sional district at Hutchinson
Kansas, a letter from ex-senator
Ingalls, was read and warmly
applauded. Among other things
the letter said:
''The republican party is con-
fronted with great problems,
which threatens it's supremacy.
If we are to succeed, we must deal
with issues IF to-day as we dealt
with slavery, secession and state
sovereignty thirty years ego.
The republic of the future must
readjust itself to the changed
conditions of American life or it
will perish. l wish to saveit from
this fate by recalling the spirit
of energy, aggressive and patri-
otto force of it's founders to the
campaign of 1892. This will be
waged upon economic and prac-
teal questions, and not upon
memories or motions. Harrison
will be renominated, and Cleve-
land will be his antagonist. If
we have courage and conscience
it will be an Austerlitz; if we
dicker with popular errors, COM
promise with unprincipled leaders
and sneer at honest differences of
Judgment and opinion, it will be
a Waterloo"

According to Frank Leslie's
Weekly, the displacement of Cover
nor Boyd, of Nebraska, was a "mis-
take of the gravest character and the
result of a political CONSPIRACY
The successful assailants of MrBoyd's
title of office would probably admit
the conspiracy, while denying that
a mistake had been made. Having
possession of the machinery necessary
to GUST Boyd, the Nebraska Republi-
cans promptly set about the work;
and they would do it over again
under similar conditions. 1t was
undoubtedly mistake" from the
standpoint of justice and right, but
in the opinion of the "practial" Re-
publican politicians of the country it
was triumphant success.

The New York Herald has come
to the conclusion that we don't want
any more "labor from abroad. But

keep the gates open and let foreign

ed the representation to which each

jurity considerably refrained from
adopting any rules to govern the cleo
the parishes rU settle for themselves.
They likewise rciraiuen from ordering
white primaries to settle the lottery
question, tho antiIottery politicians
and their Farmers Alliance alilps being
opposed to this mode of settlement. AZ
the New Delta boastingiy said at the
close of the meeting, every time the
antis drew the line and dared the MA
jurity (the pros) to cross it, they refrain
ed. And this fact speaks volumes for
the solIcitude of tie pros for the unity
of the party. The violence of language
and the bulldozing tactics OF the antIs.
which is the cornerstone OF their plan
of campaign, caused the pros, in the
interest of harmony, to refrain from The
exercise of their just prerogatives
and this shows psauly, what we knew
before, that the best Democrats in the
State, and those who are most soiiCItUus
for harmony amnng the white people,
are the men who favor the plan where
by the States finances can be rHhabI!I-
tated and the most vital interests of its
people promoted in tremendous de-
gree, without any increase Of taxation.
