The eyes OF the entire civilized world

National Convention, assembled at
Minneapolis. which will name the next
President of the United States.

Gen. Bankhead. of Alabama, has
put himself on record and his position
is not to be misrepresented to his con-

jealous. Breathing the spirit of 1861.
he gave warning in his recent speech
in the House that IL the North contin.
ued to maintain such pension laws and
other legislation as is now on the stat
ute book and the South, being the uni
nority, could get no relief through the
ballot box, that section would again
resort to revolutionary measures.
Speaking for the people of the South,
he said:
"They will do no right when the
rights is understood by them. This is
their Government, and they will con-
troll It's destiny. When It becomes op-
pressive they will try to reform IL.
When It becomes unbearable they will
destroy it and build upon the ruins an.
other, fashioned with their own hands.

them to far. remind you that it Il
unwise to treat the sufferings of the

do SO, when there will be more col

Senator German Is Democrat; but
we find it hard to believe that he is
not a protectionist. A little while ago
another tin-plate factory was started
in Baltimore, Nd, in which 300 men
are employed ;and surprising to relate,
Senator German is one of the stock
holders. He believes the enterprise
will be both successful and profitable,
and has given to it the aid of his CO.
operation. There is more eloquence
in this simple fact than in a thousand
free trade harangues. Senator Cor
man is evidently protectionist for
personal revenue and a tariff reformer

forfeitures of $1260. Cook also has
bail money in his hands amounting
to 1885, making his total shortage
$3.50. The shortage in bail repre-
sents money placed in the clerks
hands by forty-two persons, in sums
ranging from SIS to $3.50.

clerk are w. A. Carnes and George
L. Wilson, whom the expert finds to
be sufficient sureties.

A DEFAULTER.
JOSEPH b. COOK IS AR
RESTED ON HIS
ARRIVAL.
A Young Man Who Was Reck-
less With the Money
Entrusted to Him.

In the mail brought on the P. M.
S. S. China yesterday, Marshal
Wilson received a communication
from the San Francisco Police Au-
thorities asking for the apprehen-
sion and detention of man named
Joseph B. Cook, who was supposed
to have left San Francisco on the
23d ult., on board of the barkentine
S. N. Castle.
Cook was Police Court clerk at
San Francisco, and it is alleged
that he is defaulter. The Mar
shall was requested to hold the man
until the arrival of an officer from
San Francisco.
The S. N. Castle arrived yester-
day morning, after voyage of
eighteen days from San Francisco,
and as soon as the vessel was
locked, Marshal Wilson took Cook,
who was travelling under the as
sumed name of J. G. Watson, into
custody.
The matter was at once laid be-
fore Acknowledgement Brown, who
filed sworn complaint on infor
nation before Justice Bickerton,
and asked for an order of deten-
ton. The matter will come up to-
morrow morning at II o'clock be-
fore the same Judge.
Cooks bail has been placed at
$500. He will be defended by
Hon. G. w. Ashford.
The following account of Cooks
troubles is taken from the S. T. Elk
aminer of Nov. Oath: Joseph B.
Cook, clerk of Police Judge Rix's
court, has been missing since Mon
day, and if the detectives are correct
in their surmises he is $2S65 short in
his accounts and now on his way to
Queenstown on the ship Jordan Hill.
His friends are unwilling to admit,
however, that he is a defaulter, and
claim that he is only off on spree
They feel certain that he will be
found in the city, and that he will be
able to satisfactorily account for
the funds he is accused Of having
embezzled.
Cook has Of late been living far
beyond his means and incidentally
neglecting his duties. He would alb
sent himself for days from the court,
and invariably explained when he re-
turned that he had been sick. The
truth was that he was drunk. When
ever he tasted liquor it got the bet
ter of him, and he never stopped
drinking until he was on the verge OF
being a fit subject for the Home OF
the Inebriate.
When drinking Cook was reckless
with his money, and If the story now
told against him is true, he was also
reckless with the money entrusted tC
him as Court Clerk.
DROVE HORSE TO DEATH.
A few months ago he went off on 9
spree and drove 5000 horse to death
He paid the damages and remarked
that'the bill was mere trife, consid
ering the amount of pleasure he had
on the road.
When the Supervisors were lnves
tigating the practices Of the clerks
around the Old City Hall, Cook was
whitewashed by them, as he had 6
strong political "pull." The other
two clerks were removed. Had Cool
