Investigating the Past Admins
tratiOn.

Scandals involving the officials OF
the late republican administration
are coming to the surface with
alarming frequency these days.
One that is almost EN- barassing be-
cause Of the nearness OF those con-
cerned therein to ex-President Har-
son, is that unearthed by Secretaries
Gresham and Carlisle, relating to
the manner in which ex-Secretary
Of State Foster, is squanlcring the
governments money upon a lot OF
fayorites, all on government pay
rolls, that he has taken Oh junk
citing trip to Paris, ostensibly to
aid him in the Behring Sea arbitra-
ton. As specimens of this pleas
ure party these two will suffice, CIV
inc a fair idea Of the whole bust
ness: Major Halford was made pay
master in the army at salary OF
$500 year as a reward for his
services as Mr.. Harrison'S private
Secretary, and was ordered to Par
is to remain during the arbitration
although no one could see the ne
cessity for an army paymaSter at
that place. Mr.. Foster, who is u.
S. Agent at Il compensation named
by himself while Secretary Of State,
wished the Major 10 have a good
time so he ordered that he should
he allowed from the State depart
ment funds SIS day for expenses.
J. Stanley Brown, who was Gar
fields private secretary, draws $40
a day as regular employe of the
State Department. but having Or
dered him to Paris Mr.. Foster d.
rected that he also should receive
SIS day for expenses in addition
to his regular salary. There are a
number Of others treated equally
literally. Another scandal exists
IN the weather bureau and Secreta-
ry Morton is now investigating
charges of general cussedness
against some Of its most prominent
officials that are almost certain to
result IN number Of dismissals.
According to these charges the
crookedness began from the time
the bureau was transferred to the
Department Of Agriculture, and
never stopped.

DOu't You?

When you want newspaper Ia
vors, you strike your home paper "
don't you?
If you want your town doomed
and your property increased in val
ne you expect your home paper to
do it for nothing, don't you?
Yet you kick because your home
paper hasn't as much reading mat
ter as city paper, don't you?
And yet you preclude the home
paper from thinking the town is a
good place for it by not giving it
sufficient patronage, don't you?
You are mighty free about tell
ing what a good thing for town
home paper is, but are backward
when it comes to helping that pa
per with the cash. amt you?
You are mighty anxious to have
the home paper spend money with
you, but are careful to spend as lit
tie as possible with it, amt you?
The home paper don't charge you
interest on back subscription, but
you wait till the last thing before
paving it, don't you?
Do you think apublisher can live
on promises and pay his bills with
tba soma material9
Do you think he can forever di-
gest the fact that his paper is a
good thing for the country" and
not receive anything in return?
He can't do it, can he?-Ex.

A number Of newspapers, promi-
nent among them being the New
York Sun, seems to find lots Of
amusement in the name, Hoke
Smith. Columns upon columns
Of cheap wit and humorous dogger-
Ell have been written on this pro-
life theme and still the writing
goes on with undated zeal. We
confess our sense of the ludicrous
must be entirely lacking if one
must be amused at the efforts to
poke fun at the new secretary OF
the interior on account Of his name.
General Robert Hoke was a gallant
Confederate general, and we have
never heard his name commented
upon in any way for any peculiar
ity. Perhaps Mr., Smith was not
named for him, but he bears the
same name. Surely there are in
public life, and have been during
the past century many cOmbina-
tions of names more odd and more
ludicrous than this. Viii the pa
pers please give Mr.. Smith and the
public a rest.-NeUS.

Unless some sort Of a compro-
mise can be reached the republicans

Cleveland has directed that no ap-

ed whether the fusionlsts or the
straight-outs are to be given con-
troll, or u division made between
them. While Mr.. Cleveland wants
to do the square thing by both sides
it is an open secret that his person
al feeling are all on the side of the
straight-Outs.

Stock Law.

The citizens in the larger portion
Of Highland have, in the mode pre-
scribed by law, availed themselves
of the benefits Of what is common
" called the "sto:k law"
On the 22nd day of Sept, 1890
the Board of Supervisors declared
certain boundary lines including
the Bullpasture from the S. &. P.
road northward to the Pendleton
county line lawful fence as to
hogs. On the 9th day Of June
1892, said Board declared certain
boundaries embracing the Cow
pasture from the S. & P. road
northward to the Peddleton county
line lawful fence as to cattle,
sheep and hogs; and on the 9th
day of Nov, 1892, said Board de-
clared the S. & P. road on the South
the top of Lantz Mountain on the
west, the w. Va. State line on the
north and the Monterey Dist. line
on the east to be a lawful fence as
to hogs. The law is now In force
as to all the above named bounda-
ries except the last named which
will be in force on and after the
expiration of six months from the
9th day of November, 1892.
And for the guidance Of those
concerned we give below Sec. 2O5O
of the code in relation to trespass-
ers:
If any of the said animals, to
which the boundaries of the lots
or tracts of land in any county
constitutes lawful fence, shall be
found going at large within such
county, district, or portion Of such
county, or upon the lands of any
person other than the owner, the
owner or manager of said animals
shall be liable for all damages or
injury done by said animals to the
owner Of the crops or lands upon
which they may trespass, whether
the said animals wander from the
premises of their owner in the
comfy in which the trespass was
committed or from another coun-
ty: Provided, that when the bOun-
diaries of lots or tracts of land in
only one of two adjoining counties
shall constitute a lawful fence and
any of the said animals shall es-
cape rcross the line or boundary OF
the two counties, the owner of such
animals shall not be liable to the
fine imposed by section twenty
hundred and forty-two, nor for any
trespass committed by such animal
upon the lands lying next to such
line or boundary, nor to a forfeit
ure of the animal, unless the land
upon which the trespass is alleged
to have been committed shall be
as provided in section
twenty hundred and thirty-eisht.

The dangers of the ocean, though
lessened by many modern appliance
es for safety, still remain terrible
reality. The White Star freight
steamer Naronic, which has been
missing for more than six weeks,
was undoubtedly lost at sea on
February 10, with every soul on
board. A letter in a bottle picked
up on the Virginia coast contained
information to the effect that the
vessel was struck by
an iceberg, in a storm in which the
lifeboats were useless. and sank af-

The administration and demo-
Gratis generally are delighted with
the March statement Of the condi-
ton of the Treasury. It was, Of
course, known beforehand that the
payments for the month would
necessarily be unusually large, but
it was not known, or even guessed
at by Secretary Foster that the
March receipts would be some mil
lions in excess Of his estimates.
AS a result, instead of the whole in
the available cash anticipated on
account Of the big March pay
ments S1,50O,O00, was added to the
surplus, and the free gold, now near
S8,OOO,00O, continues to accu-
mulate. Secretary Carlisle has re-

THE CONSPIRACY CASES.
fudge HaTfWeH Denounces Ger
tain Language Used by Mr..
CTeIehtou.

The cases of Walker aud Sinclair,
charged with conspiracy 10 overthrow
the Provisional government, occupied
the attention of the circuit court al.
day yesterday. During the afternoon
session, Mr.. Creighton, counsel for the
defense, filed motion 10 strike out
all the evidence adduced in the case
on the ground that such testimony re-
lates 10 distinct, separate and indi-
vidual statements of ;As defendants
and alleged conspirators, and upon
the ground that there was no prima
facie proof of the existence of any
conspiracy connected with the defend
ants, Walker and Sinclair. The Jury
was dismissed until 10 o'clock this
morning. Argument on the motion
was in progress when the court ad
journed yesterday, ana will probably
occupy several hours Of this morning 5
session.
Mr.. Creighton in opening the argu-
ment for the defense, nude use of some
language touching the promises of the
prosecution to furnish connecting
links in the testimony against the
prisoners, which raised the ire of
Judge Hartwell, who denounced the
language used TO be scurrilous, often
sively personal, unproiessional aud of
a nature that he was not ia the habit
of hearing from u gentleman.
