DOTEN ON THE SHORTAGE.
His Views ON the Question now
Agitating Carson.

Aft Doten sends the following to the
Reno Journal:
Inakages, mistakes and difficulties
in making the accounts and books
balance properly have been shown ex-
tending back Of the present admins
traticn 1t developed early in the
Jones examination and was repeated
on cross-examination last Friday that
before Meter ane Retiner Eabriskie
died, about year ago, he found him
self obliged to purchase about oUo
ounces Of. silver in order to make up
a shortage in that metal developed IN
his department. His assistant, Jones,
advanced the money, taxing Zabris-
kies note therefore, thus making the
account all right with the Govern
ment.
The allowance officially made f"f
loss IN melting and refining is liberal
and with good work and management
have given a balance on the side OF
the refinery, but not always by any
means, az has been shown. Zabris-
kie died poor. but with an unsullied
renutation for strict honesty and in
tegrity.
Heney, the man who above all
others is said to be able to explain the
whole matter perfectly, was allowed to
get out OF the way. and has not been
caught by those apparently most in
terested in doing so. 1t is even
stated that Heney Is not wanted least
he might implicate some of his super
ior officers. II has never yet been
shown that a detective was actually
on his trail or near enough to -erve
warrant upon him Yet it has been
and still is, openly stated that Heney
can be found and produced in court
at short notice if really and officially
desired.
All sorts of stories have been circu
lated as TO the whereabouts OF Heney
since he was at Los Angeles, Cal, on
April 2nd. Some even say that he
struck out across Mexico, going di.
rect TO South Africa to open an assay
office at Johannesburg. Bnt he IS
nearer home than that now.
The proposal of Attorney Woodburn
TO produce him in court is no hum
bug by any means. All he asks Is
to be vested with the power and full
authority Of Deputy U 5. Marshal
with the stipulation that the prisoner
shall be left wholly and entirely in
his charge. with no interference from
any other officials, and he will bring
Heney to Carson inside of week. As
Heney's attorney he has advised him
from the first to front and face
the music. But he does not propose
to have him bounced upon by the
prosecution and crowded out of fair
show of defense II Heney can solve
the problem in behalf OF the Govern
ment and show up the really guilty
parties, including himself, it would
seem to be excellent, judicious policy
to have him do so.

TIE .. S. LOAN.

The United States shipped more
gold in January, 1895 than it ship
ped in all the Januaries for the last
nineteen years. This was not the
only alarming symptom. Our peo-
pie had begun to save and hoard,
and the Treasury statement showed
that sixty millions in gold had been
withdrawn and not shipped abroad.
The officials say that the people be-
gan to lose faith in the government,
and its ability to pay l geld f fer
Senator Gray conveyed the impress
sion that bankruptcy was in some
quarters not unlocked for. Then de-
lay was caused, the officials say, by
the extreme difficulty in making any
bond deal at all. Finally some ac-
ton was taken, and bonds issued,
and the people now beam with sur
prise that national credit for awhile
was deemed in peril. The closeness
Of the government to this critical
situation can now be looked back
upon with some, no matter how little
gladness, that the affair was no
worse.

THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.

1t now seems that Pattison has
been defeated by Warwick by over
10000 majority, and the result is by
no means surprising to those familiar
with the situation. Politics alone
did not work the result. Other in
fuences worked in the election and
the Quaker City has in the election
shown a rebuke to both parties. If
Republicans were disgruntled on ac-
count Of negligence or wasted in
municipal affairs there was greater
disgust because of the stupidity and
ineficiency Of Congress. Added to
this there were other causes which
figured in the defeat Of Governor
Pattison. There were factional
fights; the nominee had been a can
didate "too much;" some of the
charges against the committee were
overdrawn, and there was the gross
est kind of misrepresentation on
both sides. But the true reason
probably is that this is not a Demo
cratic year, and Pattison did not re-
ceive enough votes.

Fifty to Sixty Thousand Majority.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-At mid
night all indications point to the
election of Charles F. Warwick, re-
publican, as mayor of this city by a
majority estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 over Robert E. Pattison, the
Democratic Governor of the State.
William j. Rooney, the republican
candidate for receiver of taxes, has
evidently been largely cut by his
party, but his majority over Col.
Sylvester Donation, the democratic
and reform candidate, is estimated
at 10000. Twelve police magis-
trates, eleven select councilmen and
seventy-nine common councilmen
have been elected, and present indi-
cations are that the republicans have
these offices.
Unusual interest was manifested
in the election and aremarkably large
vote was polled. 1t was ideal Gre
publican weather." mild and spring
like, with a brightsun shining. The
day was generally observed as a
holiday and the streets were crowded.
The fight waged by the two reform
organizations, the municipal league
and citizens committee of ninety-five,
was directed against the councilmen
whose records aroused opposition.
The most sangaine of the repub.
lican leaders did no thope for a ma
jority higher than $4,000 or 10000,
while, Governor PATTI son today ex-
pressed himself as confident that he
would be elected by about 10000
plurality.

WAsHINGToN,S BIRTHDAY.

The twenty-second Of February
has for many years been celebrated
as holiday, and befttingly so, for
on that day was born George Wash
ington, Americans leader in the
Revolutionary War and her first
President. The American people are
ever ready to honor those to whom
honor is due. 1t is not our intent
to praise the "Father of his country
because we believe when urgent need
for patriot is felt, the patriot Is
born. Necessity, as it were, creates
the invention. The American peo-
pie adore Washington, not SO much
because of his own public executive
ability (Which was great), but be-
cause in him they created the en-
bodiment of the principles of their
liberties and rights, and because he
was with them heart and soul. 1t
was the right of their cause that
made their might. They cherish his
memory, not because he was General
Washington, not because he was
President Washington, but because
General and President Washington
was the American citizen, and his
citizenship endorsed with executive
ability made their ideal. He was an
example in his days of all that We
admire in people. Too courteous
and kindly to be austere, yet he was
possessed of that modest dignity
that commanded esteem. But we
did not mean to speak of him per-
sonally. His biographers have done
that. 1t is of the zeal of Americans
in setting aside one of the busy days
of the year on which out of their es-
TEEN for their ideal citizen we
would say word. In itself the Gus
tom is beautiful. 1t will teach gen
erations long after us to love virtue,
liberty and patriotism, toinfuse them
with love for our country's history
and the wonderful progress made
from the fabric of our governmental
1898 and its early institutions to its
place in the chief nations of the
world. The mind ofthe school child
at the mention of the name of Wash
ington runs back in its simple way
not to the man alone, but by reason
Of an an inmate love Of freedom, to
the historic victory of the few who
were right over the many who were
wrong, to the many scenes of priva-
tion and patriotism that occurred,
and then to the army from General to
private who achieved the great things
from which our great nation has
grown. All honor to the custom all
honor to- Washington, all honor to
his soldiers, and all honor to the
American people.

Scranton City Left Unremembered in
Judge HandleY's Will

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. I8.-Because
the Councils of Scranton few years
ago attempted to coerce the late
Judge John Handley in placing as
phalt paving on the avenues fronting
his Wyoming House property, by
passing o resolution establishing
cow and hay market thereon, this
city is left aforementioned in the will
of the dead jurist, which was admit
ted to probate to day. Instead, Win
chester, Va, profits largely thereby,
and is given the means of erecting
"Handley Memorial Library" and
ample funds for It's maintenance. Be-
sides. after other requests, that city
is made the residuary legatee and the
remainder of his estate is to be used
in accommodating fund for the poor
of Winchester. His public requests
are $250,O00 for free library build
ing at Winchester; $4,000 to st.
Patrick's Orphanage, this city, and
$25, 900 to the House of the Good
Shepherd, this city.
In the two latter cases the amount
is to be held in trust until it is dou-
bled before being applied to the uses
he intends. He further devlses to
these beneficiaries, one-third to each,
the income from his real estate in
Pennsylvania, Virginia AMI other
states for a period of twenty years,
when the property shall be sold and
the sum realized to be divided in the
same proportion among them. He
leaves number of requests to indi-
viduals connected with his house
hold, the principal beneficiary being
his housekeeper, Mrs. Annie Haffey,
who receives $4,000 and an annuity
Of 81 1000 and the use of the home OF
the late Judge during her lifetime.
He devises that the boys and girls
being educated by him be provided
for until their graduation and then
given $500 each. Jndge Handley is
reported by one of his executors to
have said the cow and hay market
resolution would cost the city$l ,OO0,-
900. His estate is worth nearly 81
100000. His body was taken to
Winchester to-day for burial.

AN UNPLEASANT ExpER1ENoE.-We

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.-We
were making q journey by rail. The
seat was easy, the car comfortable,
the scenery beautiful, and we antici-
pated a delightful trip. Just oppo-
site to us sat gentleman, neatly
dressed. We soon discovered that
he had sweet morsel in his mouth.
How he rolled it under his tongue!
At first we thought it might possibly
be sugar lump, but soon he began
splitting. My! how he squirted and
spattered over everything within
reach! Soon the floor around him
was perfect puddle of tobacco spit,
from which dog would have turned
with disgust. A little later he took
from his mouth a large quid, and
threw it upon the floor, where every
body passing could view it to their
full satisfaction. We were never
more disguised in our life. The
whole affair made three foldimpres-
sion on us. First, it nearly made US
sick; secondly, it made us wish that
tobacco chewers, as we'll as tobacco
smokers, were required to ridein the
forward car; thirdly it aroused our
indignation that man of common
decency should perpetrate such an
outrage upon the other passengers.
And yet how often is this done!
Seldom have we made a journey by
rail without something of a similar
experience. We abhor tobacco
chewing. 1t is filthy, disgusting,
expensive, and injurious; and yet
hundreds and thousands of boys are
forming this vile habit. What makes
it worse, they are following, in many
cases, the example of their fathers,
their teacher, or even their PASTOR
ET.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

Frederick Douglass, the noted
freedman, orator and diplomat, died
few minutes before I o'clock We'd
nesday at his residence in Anacostia,
of heart failure. His death was en-
tirely unexpected, as he had been en-
joying the best of health,
The sudden death of this familiar
figure in the latter day history of
America has cast a gloom over many
classes of people. The name of Fred
erick Douglass was known in many
lands. While youth he was
slave, and even in servitude he ex-
hibited signs Of ability that meant he
would achieve something and attain
position and fame. His industry, en-
ergy, determination and strong men
tai power made him emerge from
slavery in a short time and he set
about to carve his own fortune. True
it was that in his efforts he received
assistance from other resources, but
without an innate executive ability
he could have achieved nothing. To
New England was he chiefly indebt-
ed for this. 1t advanced his educa-
tional interests, and there money 30
purchase his freedom was raised.
His public life has been free from
stain, and his career easily placed
him at the head Of his race, and so
influential was he that for his merit
he was made representative of the
United States to Hayti. He also
occupied other Offices Of both trust
and lucrative income, serving for
many years as Recorder ofDeeds for
the District of Columbia until re.
moved byPresident Cleveland. Since
that time he has led a retired life, en-
gaging only in occasional lectures,
for which he was in great demand.
Mr.Douglass was anative Urinary
land and mulatto. In late years his
hair was snow white and his veneer
able appearance evoked the highest
esteem for his old age.
He never forgot his childhood
home, and frequently visited the fam
lily of his former owners who he re-
tanned the highest esteem. In fact
for all mankind he cherished none
but the kindliest feelings.
Frederick Douglass was remark
able man, more remarkably as a
scholar, and most remarkable as a
credit to his race. His career enti-
tied him to the honor of living in
ease as a result of his labors, and for
several years that has been his CON-
fort,
