THE TRIBUNE has called attention to
the need of a law to prevent t%reasurers
from appropriating the interest on pub
lie funds. The decisions of the Wiscon-
sin supreme court touching this matter
are most sweeping and severe. The
Chicago Herald says of them: 1.-THE Wis

upon to refund the amounts of interest
which they have received on the depos-
its of state money in banks are victims
themselves to the extent of thousands
and thousands of dollars. 1t has trans
pired that since the interest perquisites
in that state became large in amount
a great proportion of the money was con-
tributed to the republican campaign
funds from year to year. by the judy
ments against them they are to pay the
state the total amount of interest which
they appropriated. Their immense cam
paign contributions, after all, will come
out of their own pockets. This is a
hardship. A treasurer pocketing $780,
900 a year on his bank deposits gave &c.
900 to the state committee for use in the

THE STRUGG LIE OF LIFE.

Struggle not with thy life.-the heavy doom
Resist not, it will bow thee like a slave.
Strive not.-thou shalt not conquer; to thy tomb
Thou shalt go crushed and bound, though
meier So brave.
Complain not of thy life.-for what art thou
More than thy fellows, that thou shonld'st
not weep!
Brave thought still lodge beneath a furrowed
brow,
AND the way-wearied have the sweetest sleep.
Marvel not at thy life?-Patience shall see
The perfect work of wisdom to her given;
Hold fast thy soul to this high mystery.
And II shall lead thee to- the gate of heaven.

REPRESENTATIVE \. +. BRAY's bill,

Of deposits of county funds, is an ex-
cellent and timely measure. This paper

iting public funds by public officials and
the using of the interest on such depos-
its as personal perqulsites by such Off
Gals. If Mr.. Bray's bill becomes a law.
as it should, the interest On all deposits
Of public funds will be credited to the
account they represent, and any official
may be punished as for embezzlement
for retaining 1t for his own use. All
treasurers are paid as much as they earn,
and the taxpayers are entitled to the
benefit of such interest as may accrue
from deposits of public moneys.

UnclaImed Lie nIoner.

Three hundred thousand dollars in I'M
disputed prize money still remains in
the treasury awaiting claims by sailors
10 whom it belongs. Uncle Sam merely
holds this sum as the left over balance Of
atrust fund. Unhappily those to whom
It Is owing are mostly dead and will
ask for their shares.
Their bones have been scattered by
shipwrecks all over the world, though
the names Of all Of them are written in
the governments book, with the amount
In dollars and cents due 10 each. 1t is
only occasionally nowadays that appli-
cations are made fur awards Of cash from
this deposit Of treasure. Eventually
nearly all Of it will be turned over by
congress TO some other purpose for lack
Of claimants.
This money represents a part Of the
great sum derived from the sale OF cap
tured vessels during the rebellion. Near
~ all Of these craft were blockade run
ners, and Of the latter nine-tenths were
owned in Great Britain. Some Of the
finest steamships ever built were used by
Englishmen for running the Union block
ade during the war. British naval Off
GERS got leaves Of absence, during which
they commanded blockade runners.
Blockade running is a very peculiar bust
ness. There is no penalty for it under
international law except the coniscation

spects "a II they were ~transacting q le-

The meeting which was called
by the executive committee Of the
Pan-Americap Bi-metallic Asso-
citation in st. Louis last week was
well attended by representatives,
from Mexico, rs we'll as from the
" estern states and territories.
The object was 10 devise means to
bind together the states and terri
tories of the west and south,
Mexico, Central America and
South America into a league for the
purpose Of mutual trade as far as
possible TO the exclusion of the
gold states of the east and Europe.
The following resolutions were
passed:
The resolutions set forth that the
industrial interests of the United
States r paralyzed by lack Of suf-
hcient actual money; that every
dollar bearing the governments
stamps should be equal; that con-
gress should restore silver to the
position it held in 1873; that the
present panicky condition is the
fruit of a vicious financial system
entirely in the interest of a plutoc-
racy; that united action is neces-
sary between states of common
interests to secure important and
lasting results; that the states and
territories of the south and west
are happily fitted for mutual bust
ness and political intercourse, and
in all material matters that affect
the prosperity of the country
should act Independent of the east
Resolved, That we demand the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer, at a ratio Of 16 to L; that we
are opposed to the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law except
by q substitute Of 16 to /.
Resolved, That our representa-
tIves in congress instruct the chef
executive to issue a call for an ear
ly convention of all nations inter-
ested in and favorable to the coin
age Of silver at the ratio of l6 to l
for the propose of establishing
commercial and financial re-
lations with them.
The further issuance of govern
ment bonds is opposed, because it
enables a few selfish individuals to
contract and expand the volume of
currency to the great injury Of the
masses; hat national government
improve the great waterways of the
south and west, in order that more
direct routes to the ocean be OBJ
taiHed.

Gus efforts TO upset the money stand
ards Of the country andto demone-
tie silver seem less likely to sue

As a natural consequence money
is easing up in the money centers

the loud talking monometalists
who, have been assuring the peo-

that money was bound to get scar

was adopted. The logic of events
is proving these gold theories false,
and "the bankers panic" is subsid-
ing and the money getting easier
with the failure of the gold men TO
carry their point. This state of
things is making the gold m en-

the people had a chance to see how

The silver senators seem 20 have
adopted the wise course of refusing
all compromise with regard to the
repeal of the purchase clause of the
Sherman act. They are standing
fast on the position that they will
oppose the repeal of this clause I'M
less a repeal bill is introduced
which shall carry'with it an express
provision for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. As a matter of
fact IS it held by many silver men
that either the Voorhees, or the Viii
son bills, if passed untouched,
would have the effect of making
the country revert to the act Of
1887, which established and provid-
ed for the coinage of both gold and
silver in sums greater than 500,
at the request of the depositor; but
the trouble is that unless some
such statement as this be made in
the repeal bill the silver senators
are convinced that though this
would be the the law it would not
be put into operation by the pres
ent administration. There has
been some talk of a coalition be-
tween the high tariff republicans of
the east and the western and
southern silver men, but so far
nothing has come of il owing to
the fact that the majority of the
high tariff men are also bigotted
gold men and bitterly opposed to
silver men and their demands for
fair treatment. Perhaps when tar
