On Trial.

The democratic press are making the
most of the remaining time before de-
cission in the treasury suits can be
reached, but so FAR they have nothing to
crow oyer. The attempt to shuw on
the part of the prosecution that in
vestment in government bonds would
have been profitable was a lamentable
failure, and rested solely on the figuring
OF clerk who had never bought nor
sold stock or bond in his life, but bas-
ed bis caiu ulations on old market reports.
The state received decided black eye,
however, when the disposition of ex
Secretary Timme was read. He stated:
Commissioners of Public Lands were not
allowed to build on bonds of any charac-
ter, and consequently were obliged to
buy them second hand. He testified
that Mr. McFetridge always took special
pains to invest the trust funds. He
stated that the statement in the com
plant that the Commissioners of Public
Lands neglected to loan the trust funds
was not true, on the other hand partic-
ular pains were always taken to invest
those trust funds. The members of the
board frequently discussed the matter Of
investing these funds whether they were
in regular session or not. The commits.
sioners were aware of the fact that the
treasurer kept the trust funds not invest
ed but in banks, but they knew that the
money was always subject to immediate
check and hence did not care whether
the money was in banks or in the vault.
The other commissioners never question
ed the treasurer as to whether he drew
interest on the public funds, but had
heard it by common report In 1873 or
1879 the commissioners were given power
to invest the trust funds in mortgages
and other securities, but experience
demonstrated that such investments were
not profitable to the state The Senate
journal Of 1892 will show detailed re-
port Of an investigation of such loaning
of the trust funds and the state lost
about $1,000 by such investments.

Sound Money Men on Top.

The free coinage cause has been los
ing ground SO fast that it begins TO be
doubtful if it can muster a bare maiori-
ty of the new house of representatives.
The latest recruits to the anti-free coin
age side are the three democratic NOM
bers from Mimi, the solid democratic
delegation from Wisconsin and the
majority of the fourteen democratic
members from Ohio. There are fifty
eight democratic members from the
states north of the Potomac and east of
Ohio. They are likely to be solid
against free coinage, and the other
members referred to, with three from
Chicago, run the list of democratic
opponents of free coinage up to eighty
one The republican membership of
eighty nine, if they voted solidly against
free coinage, would swell the total OPP
position to 40. or a majority of seven
in the whole house There are republi-
cans enough who favor free coinage to
wipe out this majority, tut their places
are likely to be Lore than taken by
conservative democrats like Messrs.
Wilson, of Vest Virginia, Edmunds, OF
Virginia, and Hemphill, of South Caro-
lima, who only supported free coinage
the last Congress as q means OF
killing the force bill. Mr. Elliott who
has been returned again from the
Seventh District of South Carolina, vot.
ed against tree coinage when it was frst
put to test last year. Wash. Cor.

ably surprised a large section of the
republicans of the west Certain prOvis
ions Of the law were attacked by many
republicans in this section eight or ten
mouths ago, but nothing Of the sort Is
heard Of now. And all the republicans
are pleased with it and stand ready to
defend IT, The democratic assaults on
the law, which were persistent and
violent in the latter part Of last year and
the first quarter Of this year, are at pre-
sent ONLY feeble and perfunctory- In
every respect the law has indicated its
existence, and it will stand until time
and the inevitable changes in business
conditions and in popular tastes and re-
quirements render alterations necessary.

actual necessity, so far as We are able to
learn, has been advanced in price through
its agency. In fact, the treasury state
meut here referred to presents figures
showing a reduction in prices Of many
commodities Of extended and constant
use, aside altogether from sugar, which
has been cut down in cost from 20 to 30
per cent. Apparently the law has hurt

1t Does Not Reform .

From State Journal: The secretary
of state has just issued a statement. con
densed from the reports OF the secretary
of state and state treasurer, of the
amounts received and paid out by the
treasurer during the fiscal year ending
Sept. 30, 1891. Among the items Of
disbursements occurs this published
laws in state paper,35, 1856 40. Two years
ago the same item, under republican
rule, was S4,l50,50, SL005. 80 less than
this year.
A review Of the several reports Of Sec
retaties Of state from the time of the
beginning of biennial sessions of the
Legislature to last year shows that the
average cost of this item TOR ten years
Of republican rule was S3,9lS.S8 This
is 81 PSF % lower than the cost of the
same item under democratic reform.

The Chances of 1892.

St. Louis e-Democrat: There
will be 444 votes In the next Electoral
college, and the party that secures 223
OF these will win the presidency
Which party will gain these 223 votes?
This is a question which tens of thous-
ands of persons in each of the great or
CARNATIONS will frequently ask them
selves between this time and the Sth
day of next November. 1t is now pref
ty well conceded by reasonable men on
both sides of the political fence that the
recent elections altered nothing as to
the chances for 1892 We may assert,
therefore, with a tolerable degree of
confidence, that all of the states, with
two or three exceptions, will twelve
months hence, vote rs they have usual
ly done in the past. From present indi-
cations the states will align themselves
thus in the Electoral college next year

Damage at the white House.

A section of the stone balustrade
around the roof of the white house was
blown down during the storm and
crushed through the roof of the portieo
at the eastern entrance of the basement.
A large number of telegraph and tele-
phone wires were naturally carried
down with the mass of stone,
completely shutting off all communi-
cation with the house 10y wire. The
section destroyed was about so feet
long, composed of freestone in blocks
and pillars, and in falling it carried
with it a large portion of the portico.
The Estimated Loss.
One of the reservoirs of the Washing

Total losses in the vicinity of Washing

The Democrats are here allowed

1888, and part of Michigan. That state
will choose electors in 1892 by congress

Democrats five districts in Michigan,
which is pretty liberal concession in
view of the vote on congressman at the
special election recently held in the
Fifth district to choose a successor to
Ford, Democrat, who died a few months
ago The Republicans have carried the
district, although Ford had plurality
in il in 1890 OF 2,29S. Undoubtedly two
or three other of the eight districts car.
ried by the Democrats in 1890 would go
Republican if the elections were held
now, and will 90 Republican next year.
