ROBBED ON A TRAIN.
A Stranger Relieved Of Two Hun
dred Dollars by Slick Thief

A Stranger Relieved Of Two Hun
dred Dollars by a Slick Thief.
A stranger named Charles Hagan,
about fifty years of age, arrived here by
the 1922 train yesterday morning from
Hinton, W. Va, en- route to his home
in Williamsport, Pa, and complained to
the police that he had been robbed
while on the the train. Mr.. Hagan,
who is plaster, had been working at
Raleigh Courthouse, W. Va, for the past
three months, had just completed the
court house there and was on his way
home with something over $500, the
fruits of his labor.
He told the following story to Chief of
Police Waters: He boarded the eastboud
Chesapeake and Ohio at Hinton Friday
afternoon in company with friend
and fellow-workman named Crewe, both
being en- route to their homes in Will
Transport, Pa. Mr.. Hagan had the mon
ely, which was in greenbacks in a
small tobacco pouch, in his inside vest
pocket. On the way, he does not know ex-
actly where or when, some one on the
train unbottoned his vest and stole the
money. Mr.. Hagan awoke some distance
west of Staunton and discovered his mon
ey loss. Passengers on the train stated
that young man had approached Mr..
Hagan while he was asleep and address
ing him as father asked If he was asleep
and at the same time unbuttoned his
vest. Meanwhile the man Crewe, who
started with Hagan, had disappeared.
Yesterday morning the victim of the
larceny in company with Captain Waters
found Crewe on the vestibule train. MIR.
Hagau was not inclined to believe that
Crewe was the thief, but the officer
questioned him and asked him why and
where he got off the train the night be-
fore. He explained that he got off where
the two trains met Clifton Forge and
when the trains started he accidentally
got On the wrong train and was going
west before he discovered his mistake.
He showed a willingness to be searched
and asserted his innocence, but when
asked if he would not help his friend,
thus left a stranger in strange town
without means, he replied that he had
to go home himself and by that time
the train pulled out.
Mr.. Kagan is a Mason and the gem
tlenen of that order here came to his
help and provided for his necessities. But
there is still no clue to the thief.-Staa6n-
ton Meas, Dec. II.

Public Office g. Public Trust.

President>elect Cleveland gave utter
aud it has become a Democratic maxim
Aud it is applicable to every individual
who serves the people In an official ca
pa ,ity, from President down to Consta-
bic. Congressman Holman, of Indiana,
was called the watch Dog" of the U.
s. Treasury, or the great "Objector,' -
because of his determined fight for econ
ony in the appropriations made by Con-
.,ress, and as long as he was able to check
the extravaganza of that body, the
Treasury was in a healthy condition. He
was finally over>ruled and an empty
Treasury is the result.
The same principle should govern in
the management of the affairs of Mu-
'iicipal government. Strict economy,
'onsistent with the actual needs, ought
- be rigidly observed by those invested
With authority to distribute public
'1nds. Each item of an appropriation
mould be scrutinized, and any unneces>
;ary expense avoided. The fact should
never be overlooked that the tG2ND0yer
'oots all the bills, and that the more ex-
sravagant the appropriations the larger
nd more burdensome the tax>levy.-
High taxes are a menace to prosperity,
and when carried to extremes, results in
population. Remember the effect Of
the passage Of the Corn Laws of Eng
and.
Gentlemen of the City Council of Cliff
ten Forge, you have a grave RESPONSE
bility resting on your shoulders. You
should legislate for the best interests of
the entire community, and set your
faces like flint against any scheme or
proposition to squander the funds com
initted to your keeping. Bear ia mind
there will be q day Of reckoning, and

Flagrant Discourtesy.-

Political honors are sometimes easily
achieved and as soon lost. Frequently
when a politician rises to a plain above
his fellow aspirants, then is he Stunned,
Knocked and even ignored. Our attene
ton is specially called to the slur given
the South by recent discourtesies to Mr..
Crisp, of Georgia, who is Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and who was
invited to attend q dinner given by the
Reform Club of New York. 1t would
occur to the average Democrat, as well
as Republican, that on occasions Of this
sort, to celebrate a great Reform Victo-
ry, the dictates of common courtesy
would have given prominence to the
man who holds the third highest office
in the gift of his party, and as the Wash
ington Post says, lone OF the ablest and
most honest reformers the country has
ever produced. We say it does look
as though be would have been called
upon to exnaciate upon the great ques-
tions OF the hour. But why he was not
called upon at all the people want to
know? Mr.. Fairchid says the reason
was that there were so many prominent
Democrats present, that the number OF
speakers had to be limited. We would
ask the question, is there any man
more important or prominent, save the
President and Vice President. than the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives? No, Mr.. Fairchild, your explana-
ton is not satisfactory and will not be
so considered by the people of the
Southland Mr.. Crisp, when invited
had expected to be called upon and had
prepared speech, but not having the
opportunity, did not deliver it. A great
er insult has meyer been given any man
or any people, and especially to man
occupying the position and high-stand
ing enjoyed by Mr.. Crisp.
This was a conspiracy put up to i'm
peril, and if possible, defeat his chances
for re- election as Speaker of the new
Congress. But we predict that he will
be stronger and the reaction that is sure
to set in, will be in favor of manliness
and principle as against the dishonesty
of the conspirators to bring about his
destination

Before the Alliance. or Tillmanites.

Before the Alliance, or Tillmanites,
got into power in South Carolina: they
were violently opposed to free railroad
passes Having gotten into power,
they said nothing about the matter, but
the straightout democrats forced them
to toe the mark, and their legislature
passed bill prohibiting the acceptance
of free passes by legislators and State
officers. But the railroad fare has prov
ed too steep for them, and now they
propose to repeal the bill and go buck to
the same old custom. The pocket nerve
of Alliance men is as sensitive as that Of
other politicians.
