The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1895-02-16

The great crop of stealings, defalca-
tions, swindlings and embezzlements
sown in the past few years by Ameri-
cans In high and trusted official places
is now being harvested in the shape of
ruin, disgrace. fight, imprisonment
and suicide. A man thinks he must
make brilliant show Of wealth, whether
he has any or not He uses money not
his own, thinking either that he can re-
place 1t or that he will not be found
out. He never Is able to replace 1t, and
he always is found out, whether he be
Sunday school superintendent or state
treasurer. Mankind ought to have dis
covered that by this time, but 1t seems
they have not. Meantime II the terrible
record Of steaiings By trusted officers
shall even for time stop dishonesty in
public place 1t will have done some
good. But the ruin. disgrace and death
Of thieves must go on till people learn
that the only way is never to spend
money that does not belong to them.

Casimir- Perier certainly showed the
lack of manly stuff III him when he
turned and ran in the face Of the foe.
He precipitated crisis on France be-
fore one was inevitable, IL indeed one
would have been inevitable at all had
he stood at his post and done bis duty.
Light always does come to those who
stand true to their responsibilities and
conscientiously seek the light As it is,
it will go down in history that Casimir-
Perier. president of France, showed the
white feather through fear of the Radi-
Gals and Socialists. Had he been play
ing directly into the hands Of the Radi-
Gals and Socialists he could not have
dono them greater favor than by ten
dering his resignation. In any case he
could have died game, and the world
would have at least respected him. As
it is the verdict of both the present and
future will be that of the deputy who
shouted, when the presidents letter Of
resignation was read, 1T is desertion
Of the republic. 4" AS his friends say,
"Why could he not have asked the sem
ate to dissolve the chamber and rely up
ON the verdict of the country?" And,
after all, the election of Faure, moder-
ate Republican, to succeed him shows
that he got frightened and lost his head
for nothing.

ANNUAL MEETING.
OF the Cumberland County Agricultural
Society Held at Gorhham Yesterday.

Society was held yesterday at Harding's

the reports of the various committees.

carried a large number of members from
this city and Westbrook, and as result
there was the largest attendance at tne
meeting for many years. Many were
doubtless drawn by the stir made over
the issuing of life member certificates
by the trustees for $1,000, whichs should
have been sold for $40. 90 according to the
bylaws.
President W. H Vinton called the meet
ing to order. The secretary's report was
accepted. The treasurer made his report,
but before it was accepted Auditor y.
M. Parker called attention to nine life
certificates being issued this year for
$40 90 each, according to theatreasurer's
account, contrary to the bylaws
The president explained that most OF
the holders of these tickets paid Sl0.eo
in cash, and the balance is to be paid for
in labor or money when called upon by
the trustees. Several participated in the
discussion which followed. The mem
bers seemed perfectly satisfied with the
explanation of the president, as they
voted to ratify the doings of the trustees
the past year. but it was voted that in
future no certificates be issued for less
than $40. 90 cash at the time of the deliv-
ery of the certificate. The report of the
treasurer was then accepted, as was the
reports of the superintendent OF grounds
hall, and ticket departments.
Following are the officers elected:

Moved that the constitution and by

it's annual meeting at Gorham, and
that hereafter it shall be held in Vest
