SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

l
To the sum total in the hands of the
| city treasurer May 3lst, $3.50 S6.24, mus
be added S64, 6S2.33 school fund; of this
last amount $4,000 represent the city
bonds sold April 18th 1891.
!
This loan was made to build additional
school houses, but has remained so much
dead capital in the HANDS of the treasurer
since April nth, five months.
1t were pity indeed, if the people re-
NAMED Indifferent to the condition of our
city affairs: it would afford abuse for
every possible excuse in the adminiStra-
ttOn of the government.
A people who rest quiet while their
public business is being reckleSSly man
aged, will experience the fate of the bank
ing institution that finally closes its doors
with a rush of defrauded creditors batter
ing them down.
1t is to be hoped no such fate awaits our
community.
Awakened public interest, strict watch
upon public expenditures, thorough dis
OF the acts of public servants will restrain
reckleSSneSS.
The ballot box will afford opportunity
for thorough reformation. but in the
mean time constant agitation and discus
sion will prepare the people for intelligent
action.
The public critic may make himselfdis-
agreeable to the objects of his criticism,
but the people appreciate the fearless dis
section of public affairs.
Every voter can become a financier to
the extent of understanding the plain
statement that in accordance with the
he had in his hands, cash, S2l9, 697.Sl, I'M
expended.
Every voter can understand that SyS-
TEN of finance that requires that the city
to be a borrower of $4,000 per month to
run its current expenses while it has a
quarter of million lying idle in the
bank Is rotten.
That our city affairs are nearing a
crisis must be apparent. That any hope
for retrenchment or economy in the ad-
of the city government I'M
der the present regime is futile must be
demonstrated by the recent passage of an
ordinance to add another $4,000 to our
debt.
That the rate of taxation must be raised
before Mr.. Callaghan retires is apparent,
and the question is apparent, can this
thing go on without depressing values
and impeding prosperity?

THE SLAUGHTER OF SEALS.
More than Ten Thousand Young Ones, Whose
Mothers Had Been Killed, Found Dead.

SAN Francisco. Dec. 16.-Ounalaska ad-
vices to Dec. 5 were received here by the
United States revenue cutter Rush. which
returned yesterday from Behripg sea. The
advices state that, with the departure of
the seals southwark, an opportunity was
given of inspecting the rookeries of the
seal islands, and that more than ten thou
sand young seals were found dead. ap-
parently, from starvation. The indiscrim-
mate slau ghter of the seals, without regard
to SEX il is contended. deprived the young
seals of their dams and their natural susie
nance.
Among the orders brought to Ounalaska
by thes Rush on her return 10 the seal
islands was one from the Treasury Depart
ment prohibiting the killing of blue foxes
on the islands during the present season.
The killing of these foxes for their fur has
been considered a perquisite of the lessees
of the seal islands. and the order. il is
stated, means the loss of about twenty
thousand dollars to the North American
Commercial Company.
The inquiry at Pribyloff islands disclosed
the fact that no vessels other than the
passing wbalers bound down from the Arc
tic has been sighted since the departure Of
the Rush in September and IL is thought
the report of the intended raid by the seal
poachers was unfounded. or else that the
latter thought better of this project and
gave 1t up. The weather has been very
rough, and the last known sealer has left
Behring sea. The Rush experienced heavy
snow-storns just before she proceeded
southwark.

THE ATTACK ON JUDGE CLARK.
Hornish, His Assailant, Held for Trial on
Charge Of Assault with Intent to Murder.

specal to the Indianapolis Journal
MATTOoN. Ill, Dec 16.-Judge Clark, who
was wounded last evening by the would-be
assassin, Frank w. Hornish. is resting
we'll, exhibiting tbs same nerve as when he
grappled with his assailant after the flash
of the first shot. Hornish waived ex-
animation, and was taken TO the Jail in
Charleston this morning. As near as can
be learned, there never had been any words
on the part of Judge Clark with Hornish,
and no trouble between them other than
the statement of Clark that q man whom
Hornish had sued for $50 did not owe it.
some trivial claim sued Clark, and in
bis absence obtained judgment before q
justice of the peace for SIS This claim was
for costs in q suit Hornish had lost, and
which he wanted Clark to pay, notwith-
standing he had not received any fee for
his trouble in the case. In the Circuit
Court, to which an appeal was taken, the
case was dismissed for want of prosecution.
and Hornish could not get q lawyer in
have it reinstated. After his arrest he re-
marked that he would kave got his man il
be lClarkl had not attacked him
In self-defense. day or two
that the Judge would be an aspirant for
the nomination as Republican candidate
for Governor, he threatened that he should
never live to be Governor. All accounts 60
to show that his fancied wrongs were
nursed in his imagination. and that he at
tempted to take the life of one who had
proven his friend on all occasions. A special
grand jury investigated the case to-day
and fonnd an indictment against Hornish
for assault with intent TO murder. and he
will be gwen a speedy trial for his most in
excusable crime and felonious assault upon
the life of one of tho most honored and re-
spectcd citizens of the State.

traordinary in this climate and was
thoroughly investigated by DIR. Curtis, OF
Boston. state Registrar of Statistics.
Drayton. like his people before him, was
brought up in the almshouse and renamed
q ward of that institution until fourteen
years of age. For some minor offense he
was sent TO the reform school. and two
years later was sent to the house of correc-
