The keystone Bank examination, as
it draws its slow length along, devel-
ops more and more of the innate frailty
of human nature, and in its ramifica-
tions is bringing to shame more than
one name prominent in the history of
to-day. Bardsley is proven to be not
only thief but also deliberate and
calculating liar, while the Govern
ment bank examiner is convicted of
gross and criminal neglect of duty.
Pious John Wanamaker, too, is having
his memory refreshed in most hui
initiating way. Republican thieves
and Democratic thieves must go-go
to the penitentiary-or the nation is
undone.

On the first page of this paper is an
article entitled 1.-The Truth of Histo-
ry." 1t ought to be read by every
young man who sees the REGISTER,
because it as the truth. told frankly,
upon an important episode in the his
tory of the country. Although An
drew Johnson had his faults, as other
men, his memory has suffered wanton
abuse. where other persons, more de-
serving of condemnation, have been
and are being eXtolled as patriots aud
saints. His attempted impeachment
was the most uncalled for, as well as
the dirtiest and the meanest political
measure recorded in the annals of any
civilized nation of either hemisphere
in time of peace, and gave rise to an
era of political virulence from which
the country has not yet recovered.

head, and the reader is left to infer
who is doing the editing. From the

the prime object of the Democrat is to
"down" the Independent and its
crowd, as well as to bring about a
change in Washington county affairs
all around. If it can only teach that
section to quit electing ''indepen-

payment of some costs in case where

bank in Boonville, and when it was
sent to st. Louis bank for collection
twenty-five cents was charged for ex-
change. 1t seems to US that the state
should be at more prom
inent money center than Boonville.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH.

IF you are praying for a revival don't do it on a back seat.
 IT is not the longest sermons that awaken the most sinners.
 A PREACHER with the big head is a man the devil loves to look at.
 IF you are praying for revival don't go to church with your gloves on.
 PREACHERS and churches who please everybody are the kind who never have revivals
 IT doesn't do much good for the man to pray for revival who will not pay his debts.
 THE man who goes to church much hears great deal of preaching that hits other people.
 THE reason that some of our churches are so dark spiritually is because the people themselves want to do the shin- ing.
 IF preachers would bear continually in mind that they are working for God there wouldn't be so much anxiety about wages.
 A GOOD many preachers try so hard to feed few giraffes in their fiocks that they let the sheep and lambs starve to death.-Ram'S Horn.

ADMISSION OF ARIZONA.
Senator Stewart Wants to See Our Territory Become
 a State

Senator Stewart of Nevada favors the admission of Arizona into the Union and said Saturday in San Fran cisco thaG he would work and vote for any measure which had for its object the placing of Arizona's star on the American flag.
 "I am against territorial form of government in any case" said the Senator, "for I believe it gives too much opportunity for unwise appoint ments. We need more Western sen- timent and good way to get more is to make Arizona a state. It is a terri tory of boundless resources, and under irrigation cannot but prove attractive to immigrants. Already they raiss the very finest fruits on Arizona lands and get large crops with a certainty"
 When asked how many Republican, Senators would favor the admission of Arizona, the Nevada Senator said that he felt confident that silver Senators at least would vote to put the territory into the Union.

''Sniping."

A recreation which is quite popular with Tombstone boys is that of "snip- ing" Some big catches have recently been reported. Tombstone is not the only place where the sport is carried on. The Yuma Sentinel says:
 Two young men were installed into the secrets of hunting snipe with a lantern in Yuma, Wednesday evening An Indian melon patch on the Cal ifornia side of the river was the scene of the grand hunt. Some fifteen or more of Yuma's bravest boys went over to help drive the snipe into the sacks. Result: The boys got too near an old Indian womans hut. She heard them, called for the police and he marched the bag holders up to the prison at Old Fort Yuma where the kind-hearted sisters in charge, releas- ed the poor boys.

QUEER THINGS IN CHINA.

IT is the custom in many parts of China to tie a white cock to a coffin and then sacrifice it on the grave.
 BEGGARs are an organized guild in China. They abound everywhere, and in the north their only garment, if any, is a tattered sheepskin.
 IN Shanghai and in many other places in China the crows build and raise their broods in the trees of the city. On ac- count of the Buddhist reverence for all life, no one harms them.
 THE junks, whether at sea or on the river, are perpetual terror to the steamer captains. The masters of the junks believe that if they can cross moving steamers bows close at hand it will bring them good luck for the year.
 IT is custom very ancient and very common in China for anyone who has a grievance against anyone to get upon some elevated place and bawl it out to the neighborhood. Thus women on the roofs of the houses yell forth their do- nestle greiyances.

 Col. Herring of Cochise opposed the resolution on the ground that he be- lieved it was no more than right that the people of Arizona should know what had been said in the convention aud that copies of all propositions offered to the convention should be printed.
 Mark Smith seconded and sustained Dennis resolution saying that Git was matter of economy, and nonsense to print all resolutions offered, and that minor propositions were only printed to show the outside world what a smart man am l"
 Col Herring respon ded saying Mark Smith knows the people of Ari zona are perfectly aware of his great ness, but perhaps there are other mem bers of the convention who are will- ing to let the people of Arizona know what they thought and believed to be all right" Col. Herring moved to amend the resolution by having the propositions printed outside of those of standing committees limited to % copies.
 Amendment was lost and original resolution was adopted.
