CASHIER GREEN DISCHARGES.
No Evidence that He Had Taken AM
AIuncy National Bank Money.


AIuncy National Bank Money.
WILLIAMSBURG, Pa, Jan. 27.-The
hearing of Della Green, late cashier Of
the Muncy National Bank, charged with
having appropriated the $751; which
mysteriously disappeared from the
vaults of the bank, took place here be-
fore United States Commissioner Bent
ley. Bank Examiner Dengler, Presi-
dent Bowman and Teller Bowman were
examined, but no evidence in addition
to that already published was elected.
Upon conclusion of the testimony
United States District-Attorney Lyon
asked that Mr.. Green be held for trial,
while counsel for the defence insisted
on his discharge on the ground that q
prima facie case had not been made out
against him.
The Commissioner took the latter
view of the matter and discharged Mr..
Green, stating that it had not been
proven that the missing money had
been in the banks strong box during the
past three years, nor that Mr.. Green had
distracted it or knew anything of its
disappearance.

BELIEVED TO BE DEAD.
The Sensational Story Regarding Cashie
Hill Discredited.

JAMEsBURG, N. j., Jan. 27,-The body
of T. Wilton Hill, the late cashier of the
Jamesburg National Bank, whose sud
den death on Dec. 20 was followed by the
revelation that he was a defaulter in q
large sum of money, will not be ex-
humed.
The report that Hill is not dead and
that dummy body was substituted for
him is generally discredited here. A
number of residents, including three di-
rectors of the bank of which Hill was
cashier, all declare that Hill is beyond
question dead and buried, as they saw
him in his coffin and followed his body
to the grave.
J. c. Magee, of the directors, declares
that the idea of exhuming the body had
never been suggested at a board meeting,
as all the directors had attended the
funeral, and all are satisfied that Hill is
dead.

STATE PRESS TIPS.

this state in heaping ahathemas upon the
heads of Democrats who would vote for a

blush of shame.-Sauk Center Avalanche

CONGRESSMAN CASTLE.

Congressman JAMES n. CASTLES
best recommendation for re- election to
the house of representatives is found in
his record of faithful and efficient pub
lie service. In the state legislature, in
the national congress at Washington,
wherever placed and to whatever duty
summoned. he has invariably acquitted
himself with high credit, both to his
ability and to his integrity.
Mr. CASTLE is man Of the people,
plain-spoken, thoroughly democratic cit
iZen; yet he is man of fine intel
lectual attachments, OF dignified bear
ing and courteous manner, and in every
respect well fitted to honor the Office
which he now fills and to which the
voters of this district will unquestion-
ably again call him on the eighth day
of next month. No possible adYan-
tage could accrue to the people of
this district Or to the countr Y
at large through change in our con-
gresham in favor of the nominee of the
Republican party. Without going into
details concerning Col. KIEFER, the
GLOBE invites an honest comparison of
his record and character with those or
Congressman CASTLE. The details
which the GLOBE omitS concerning Col.
KIEFER may be found in the files of his
own party organ, the Pioneer Press.

THE OUTLOOK.

Your Uncle LOREN FLETCHER, OF
Minneapolis, who wants to go to con-
greSs. gave some dangerous advice to
newspaper reporter Friday night. He
counSeled him to bet his bottom dollar
that the Republicans would sweep Min
nesota at a Nancy Hanks pace. and that
they would elect their entire ticket and
secure a majority in both houses of the
Legislature. although one of them is not
at stake, without SO much as an effort.
For moment the reporters heart was
fired with visions of a large fortune, land
he was very grateful to the Hennepin
county statesman for the straight tip he
had so generously given him. But a
little reflection convinced him that
games of hazard are frowned upon by
teachers of morality. and he decided.
i'll view of the conflicting reports
which he CLEANED from other sources
to invest his wealth in different securi-
ties. The GLOBE is not inclined to
make eXtravagant claims as to the out
look for Democratic victory in Mime
sofa. But it knows that Judge WILSON
was defeated two years ago by only the
narrowest plurality, and that this de-
feat was comprised by the exercise of
shameful intimidation and bribery in
the mining districts of the North. 1t
knows that no Democratic leader has
ever made campaign of the character
that MI. LAWYER is now concluding,
and that the Australian system will
protect him from the species of warfare
which snatched from Judge WILSON'S
hands the victory he had won. 1t knows
that the Republicans cOpcede him a
majority of 1000 in Ramsey county,
and that the Democracy expects one of
twice that size. 1t knows that spirit
of political independence is abroad in
the state, that voters are cutting away
from the trammels of partisanShip and
beginning to think, and that when men
think it means gain for CLEVELAND
and LAWYER. The GLOBE knows all
these things, and it believes they mean
a Democratic triumph. The GLOBE be-
lieves that the Democracy will cleo: its
state ticket, that, together with the
Peoples party, it will control the legis-
lature. and that none of MinneSota's
electoral vote will be cast for BENZ A
MIN HARRISON.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The Democracy'S county ticket eXcit-
ed considerable criticism from the Re-
publican press until the Republican
convention had done its work. Since
then the newspapers of the enemy have
been too busy defending their own can
didateS to have much leisure or space
for any other purpose. The Democratic
county convention was made up of dele
gates honestly selected by all the Demo-
Gratis who had patriotism enough to at
tend the primaries. No boss controlled
or interfered with its action. Every
nomination was holly contested, and the
claims of the aspirants were thoroughly
and openly debated before they were
balloted on. The result was list, at
part of which some pharisees have
sneered. But the GLOBE has yet to
STE formulated single definite
charge of unftneSS or bad char
acter against any one included in it,
HE voters OF this county may be sure
of one thing. The journals which did
not hesitate to prefer serious indict-
ment, with dates and figures, against
one of their own plumber, would not
stop with inuendoes and slurs about a
Democrat if they were in a position to
go further. The fortunes of any man
are as nothing compared with the sue
cess OF the Democracy's cause, but be-
cause its success depends on the in
tegrity of the organization III Ramsey
county, the GLOBE wants to see it Sus-
| tanned and triumphant at the coming
| election.

view.
Did the idea ever occur to you, Mr..
Voter, that for thirty-two years the po-
litical management of the state Of Min
nesota has been in the hands of one
| party?
That one set of partiSanS have sue
ceeded another every two years. until
the matter has become almost like the
hereditary succession to some European
monarchy?
Gradually. surely offices have been
multiplied until the state house swarms
with retalners whose chief duty is to
perpetuate the party'S succession
All this time the state expenses have
steadily increased, and while we have
had a marvellous growth IN popu-
latlon and wealth, the expenses of state
government have increased at a more
rapid rate. The legislature of 1891 in
creased the state levy from II mills to

The unwarranted action of the worlds

| proceeding In virtually pledging the
state in the face of the positive declara-
tons to the contrary, to say nothing of
the extravaganza, shows to what extent
the public moneys are wasted and pub
lie trusts abused.

state institution.
The state government and all it's at
tendant institutions have become really
a close corporation, and each successive
two years the manipulatOrs manage to
place themselves in power through the
vast machinery at their command.
All this is done in the name of the
Republican party, and by appeal to
partisan preJudiceS, and yet the masses
of that party have no interest in seeing
these abuses perpetrated or in uphold
ing them, but on the contrary are
directly anu personally interested in
good government. honest government
and an economical government to the
same extent as Democrats OF any other
class of voters.
There is only one way to change this
condition of things. and that is to clean
out the state house gang, and to do so
the safest and best policy is to vote for
the Democratic nominees, elect them
and hold every man so elected to per-
sonal responsibility to reform these
abuses.
We say this in al, honesty and sim
certify. We believe that Mr.. Lawler
can better be trusted in effecting a
change than Mr.. Donnelly. He is
young, able, and so far in his public
and private life has shown a manly in
dependence that merits public conf
dence. Nothing Is to be lost, but every
thing is to be gained by change.
For thrty-two years we have gone
along from bad To worse. and there is
no better time to commence reform
than now.

Will Have Widespread Effect
on the Soldier Vote.
New York World
What eX-COmmander-in-C Chief of the
q. A. r. Judge John p. Rea, of Mime
sofa, says about Mr.. Cleveland'S vetoeS
of private pension bills is strictly fair,
and will have a widespread effect upon
the soldier vote. These vetoes are all
based on right and justice. Not one of
them is Inconsistent with true re-
spect for and sympathy with honora-
bic, deserving veterans.
The same is true or the veto of the de-
pendent pension bill, so called, which
was denounced as scheme of pension
agents for plunderlng the government
by the leading Republican journals in
the country.
Whoever will candidIy read these
vetOes must confess that they are in the
interest of the honest soldier and his
rights and of wise legislation on this
subject. They are hostile to fraud and
to loose legislation.
These VetoeS are q substantial part
of the honorable record OF Cleveland'S
administration, and will always remain
such. He knew as well as anybody the
false Interpretation that malice and
ignorance would give to his action,
but he was brave enough to depise it
and do his duty to the soldier and the
whole people.
In doubtful cases he gave the soldier
the benefit OF the doubt, and probably
signed many pension bills which ought
10 have been vetoed. because he had
not time personally to investigate the
merits of each case.
Grover Cleveland dareS to do right.

Fro IN the Albert Lea Standard, In

dependent Republican
There ought to be new deal in Min
nesota. 1t conduces to good govern
ment'to make frequent changes in the
officers of state, and it fosters rings and
corruption to entrust any political party
with unchecked power for long term
of years. In all departments OF the
state government there should be a
change, and it will be healthy for the
body polite to make it this year.
Grave complaints and well founded
charges have been made for many years
against the board of railroad and ware
house commissioners, against the state
prison management, against the insane
asylums, the dairy and food inspectors,
the boiler inspectors. and against other
departments in which altogether a great
horde of officeholders are employed.
There are rings, and bad ones, in some
of these official spheres that ought to be
busted.
They ought to be busted wide open
and exposed to the gaze of honest citi-
ZenS.
The only way to bust them; the only
way to secure new deal is
To make a clean sweep.
Turn the q. o. p. out. from governor
down to the most dependent clerk in
the state house, and take fresh start.
Turn them all out TO grass, and let US
see if it is not possible once more in this
state to enjoy government admins
tered with fair and decent regard for
the rights and interests of the people.
