Monday the National Association
Of Democratic Clubs issued public ad-
dress urging the Democratic people, and
those who united with them at the cleo
ton in November last, 10 maintain per-
feet and extend the system Of affiliated
Democratic societies, whose recent ser.
vice to The cause was SO conspicuous.
1t says "A miscarriage in the elections
Of 1894, that is to say, a failure to re-
turn another large tariff reform ma
jority, would be calamity Of crushing
magnitude. Against it we can have no
assurance except in a system Of Demo.
cratic clubs, well organized, active and
aggressive, in every state and district
where a contest is to be made, and their
union in state and national associations"
This Is good advice. The great battle
for tariff reform is not yet over, not
withstanding the overwhelming victory
Of last November, and setback at
next years Congressional elections
might materially check the progress Of
the reform movement. The Democratic
clubs can do much to maintain such all
effective organization Of the Democratic
party throughout the country as will
make defeat impossible in 1891.

Governor Werts Of New Jersey did
the cause of public decency a good ser.
vice Thursday, in vetoing the winter
race bills which were passed by the
Legislature at the instigation of Billy"
Thompson, the Duke of Gloucester"
and member Of the Assembly from Cam
den county. 1t remains to be seen
whether the legislators whom Thomp-
son holds in his corrupt grip, and who
voted 10 pass the bills, will have the
hardihood to vote to pass them over the
governors veto. The laws of New Jer-
sey already give unusual race course
privileges, and afford all the protection
and encouragement that the interests of
legitimate track sports could reasonably
ask, and these bills fathered by 'rhomp,
son were designed to lega!ize the winter

MIR. clereIand,s Cabinet.

Last night week president-elect Cleve-
land completed his cabinet by the ap-
pointment Of Richard Olney of Boston
AS Encouragement and Congressman
Hilary A. Herbert Of Alabama as Secrc-
tary Of the Navy. Mr.. Olney is one of
the leading lawyers of the country, and
Mr.. Herbert, with the experience he has
had for years as chairman of the House
committee on naval affairs, will doubt
less conduct the affairs of the navy de
partment in the most successful man.
ner lie is in thorough accord with Mr..
Cleveland on all leading questions, and
most heartily in favor of conducting
the navy department upon the high
business principles SO successfully in
augurated by Mr.. Whitney as Secretary
Of the Navy during Mr. Clevoand's first
administration.
Taken altogether, Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet is unusually strong, and he has
family of sound and experienced ad-
yisers. Judge Gresham has that pro-
found knowledge Of the affairs Of gov
eminent that should make his admins
tration Of the affairs Of the state depart
ment unusually satisfactory, while Mr..
Cariislo's whole public career is guar
antee that the interests of sound finance
and tariff reform will find an able ex-
ponent at the head of the treasury de-
partment. The people well know Daniel
Lamont, Secretary Of War, and although
he is m experiment as cabinet officer,
the experiment is one that gives no rca-
son for fears that it will prove failure.
For man previously without public
record, Mr.. lloke Smith, tho Secretary
Of the Interior, has become well and
favorably known to the people of the
country during the past two weeks, and
the more they hear Of him the better
they like him. The author Of "Arbor
Day" with his earnest interest in all
that pertains to the successful filling Of
the soil, measures up as 1.-THE right man
in the right place" and the indications
are that Mr.. Morton will elevate the
position Of Secretary Of Agriculture, and
make the department one of great I'M
portance and public benefit, instead of
| the burlesQue it has been generally
/ looked upon since it was created. Mr..
| Bissell, the POstmasterg general, is a per.
! sonal FRIEND of Mr.. Cleveland, man OF
! ability and sound executive capacity,
and although stranger to public place,

Bank defalcations have been of such
rare occurrence in this city-it has been
nearly 30 years since the last one oc-
curred--that the Community mad come
to look upon all the officials If the vii.
mington banks rs models Of integrity
and propriety. The news Of the de
falcaion of Paying Teller Smith Of the
First National Bank, for an amount
closely approximatiug $56,000, will
therefore prove an astounding surprise
TO the public, and painful shock 10
many personal friends of the delinquent
officer. 1t is useless to theorizo upon
these unfortunate happenings, however,
as the moral is plain, and the ultimate
fate of those who yield to the
temptation to take money that does
not belong 10 them is unerringly
pointed out. The matter for congratu-
lation in this case is that while the bank
will lose to the extent Of the defalca.
ton, it has an ample surplus out Of
which to meet the loss, and the interests
of the stockholders and depositors
will not suffer in the slightest degree.
The bank has clear surplus Of about
$l27, 900, out of which it will take the
amount due its depositors BY reason of
the defalcation, which will still leave y
surplus Of over $7l,OOO. The bank,
therefore, remains strong financial in
stitution, and the results Of the unfar-
tunate occurrence are confined to the
money loss sustained by the bank, which
will in no manner impair its standing,
and to the natural effect Of such har-
rowing affair upon lie guilty officer, his
family and his friends.

II. Elsler, who keeps clothing house near

nothing of the character of its frequenters.
Peter Ries, one of the proprietors. was
put through q long examination. but il
only amounted to his denial that he knew
of any gambling or bunko games at his
house. and did not know the business OF
any of the men whose names were men,
toned to him.
w. e. Lawrence also testified that his
place was not the resort of bunko steerers.
and that there had never been any dis
turhance, except one between some log
gers, and then he had called in the police.
Wolf Runkel, Selber, ex-Deputy Sheriff
Wells and Fitzhenry we're called, but de-
MED that the saloon, so far as they knew,
differed from any other south of Yesler
avenue.
Mr.. Donworth, addressing the council,
said he had taken the part of the prose-
cutor in the case, but he had nothing TO
say and he should leave the matter to the
judgment of the council.
Attorney Warner followed. arguing that
the ordinances empowered the chief of
police to arrest gamblers and disorderly
persons. yet not one man had ever been
arrested in that saloon. He argued that
the action of the council should be strictly
based on the testimony, because the PEN
atty they could infiict was not merely in
Fiction of fine. but destruction of their
entire business.
Junius Rochester added . few words to
show that there was not one scintiila of
evidence to sustain the charges.
Mr.. Donworth asked permission to men
ton that every saloonkeeper had to give
bonds that he would maintain an orderly
house and the license was issued subject to
special provision that it could be se-
voked by the council If the saloon were
not run in an orderly manner.
Delegate Carlisle moved that the csse be
dismissed, and the roll being called the
vote stood: Ayes Z, noes 6. The case was
accordingly dismissed

THE BAIL REFUNDED.
Criminals Allowed to Escape and $3.50
Cash hail Has TO be Returned.

Cash bail Has to be Returned.
The $3.50 bail money deposited by Matt
Ries for John Sweeney and Fatty Myers,
who are accused of robbing Cyrus N.
Rogers at Leschi park on August Z, was
ordered returned by Judge Glasgow yester-
day. This was the climax to one of the
worst cases of bungling that ever dis
graced the police department and munich
pal court of the city.
When Rogers related his story to Chief
Jackson of how these men had robbed
him, absolutely denying that he had lost
the money gambling. and the two accused
were taken TO police headquarters by De-
tectives Roberts and Cudihee, the chief
ordered them booked on q charge of gam
bling, he says temporarily, until the exact
circumstances of the case could be investi-
gated. Detective Roberts took them to
Matt Ries, of the Madrona saloon crowd,
told him of the charge against them, and
Ries put up the bail.
Next day City Attorney Fortson refused
to file complaint charging them with
gambling. but said he would probably
charge them with something else Judge
Glasgow said they might go on the same
bail as had been already deposited, not
knowing who deposited the cash. If the
accused were In court at all, they immedi-
ateiy skipped out, but nobody appears to
know whether they were or not aside from
the attorney for the defense.
Then the attorney moved that the bail
be refunded, claiming that it was de-
posited subject TO the same conditions as
bond, and the appearance of the accused
In court to answer to the charge on which
it was deposited had fulfilled the condi-
tions, and il could not be held for their
appearance on another charge Judge
Giasg put the matter over, and when
the time set for the trial came the accused
failed to show UP. Then the attorney re-
newed his motion for the return of the
bail, and the hearing of arguments in the
case was set for yesterday. Judge Glas-
gov concluded that the bail could not be
held for any other charge than that of
gambling, and as the prosecuting witness,
Rogers, had left for his home in California
Immediately after the dismissal of the case
against Jack Thompson a few daysNago,
there was nothing for him to do but order
the return OF the money.
Then City Attorney Fortson moved that
the court issue an order preventing the
police department. from accepting bail in
all cases. Judge Glasgow has taken the
question under Amusement.
