Charges Against Officers.

Juggling with accounts, "doctoring" the
books so as to make balances meet, ques-
tionable methods in disposng Of treasury
stock to themselves, thus leaving a dis
crepancy of 81 1924, 100, are to be charges
against the officers and directors of the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company
made by the experts who for thirty days
past have been investigating the affairs
of the concern in Chicago. After month
spent in overhauling the books of the
whisky trust. after exhausting every
every means that would tend to throw
light on the muddled affairs of the COM
pany, the experts appointed by the court
made revelations that show there is due
the stockholders nearly $2,OOO,OO in the
company's securities that were sold by
the directors and the officers to them
selves, Whether or not suit will be in
stituted to recover the large sum out of
which tire trust is alleged to have been
done" by those in control OF the manage
ment will depend upon the result of con-
ference between Receiver McNulta, At
tOrney Herrick, and some representatives
of the reorganization committee. 1t all
hinges upon ticklish law point and the
result cannot now he foreseen, but there
is little doubt that hot fight between
the conflicting interests of the trust is
now imminent. Every member of the re-
organization committee wants the rulers
in the old regime to be forced to ''dis
gorge" The liability for the S1.924. 12O
that is now missing rests solely with those
to whom the 34,9S4 shares of stock were
sold at A. cents on the dollar. The men
who bought this stock are, ii is alleged,
the officers and directors Of the company
who were directly responsible for the ad-
ministration of it's affairs Mt the time ''the

Pilgrimages to Washington.

The best time for students to visit the
Capital City is in the winter season.
Then the social life is in full swim, and
there are few students SO poor or friend
less that they have not some a%cquaint-
ances who could give them a card to a
reception, even Il at the White House.
Most of ali, congress itself is in full
swim then, too, and this is the greatest
show on earth to a young American of
either sex. The pupil may grow pur-
blind over his United States history,
he may have the constitution at his
tongues tip, but he will never know
Just how this country is carried Oh till
he looks in upon congress at its work IN
the magnificent white marble building
on Capitol hill. A peep at the supreme
court, with its gownod judges, will do
more to fasten the judiciary department
in the youthful memory than a week of
porting over books.
There are the great Smithsonian in.
stitution, the vast library Of congress,
the colossal Washington monument and
the navy yard, with its historic relics.
Now is the time to organize excur'
sions. The railroads take very kindly &c
these pilgrimages of the bright youns
students and give excellent rates. Il
would be richly worth while for benev
olent citizens to contribute aid to sucl
educational excursions. A week give1
to sight seeing in our beautiful nationa
capital is an education itself. A weel
and a half of the school course coul'
not be more %profitably spent. The pu
pills would be so quickened mental,
that they would quickly make up tn
lost time.

When the Suez canal was first project
ed by France, England did everything
she could to prevent its construction.
This opposition made the canal cost
much more than it would otherwise
have done. British emissaries fomented
dissatisfaction among the Egyptians and
in Turkey in reference to the work and
hampered it to the best OF their ability.
The ground Of the opposition was put
as follows by Palmerston, who did not
even deign 10 use diplomatic language
in speaking Of the matter. He said,
1--WE are afraid of losing u CONNER
cial pr~e-eminence, for this canal will
put other nations ON al equal footing
with u.s." Is it for the same reason that
England is now hanging about Central
America?

Betrayed Himself.

A criminal is also a fool. This was
v more fully demonstrated than in
the case of Seely, the defaulting book
keeper Of the Shoe and Leather bank in
New York. He got away in safety to
Chicago. He dyed his mustache and was
living quietly at a lodging house. If he
had kept his mouth shut and continued
living quietly andhadshavedoff his mus
tache instead Of dying it, the chance is
that he could have got safe out Of tho
country in a little while. But, mol The
place where the detective finally found
him may give a hint Of what he has done
with all the money he has been helping
to steal during ten years. Horse races
were in progress at Chicago. Seely
went to these and "played the races
At the races he picked up acquaint.
ance with an agreeable stranger. First
he told the agreeable stranger that his
name was Evans. Then as they drank
and betted together, he said his real
name was Dale. That set the agreeable
stranger, in reality Detective McFar-
land, to thinking. He suspected this
was Seely. There were more betting
and a good deal more drinking together.
Then at last the defaulter confidentially
and voluntarily told Mcfarland that he
was Seely. He told on himself. I'm
m~ediately Mcfarland got drunken yet
and went to the police Office and had
= Seely arrested. When the arrest was
really made. the detective went on a
bigger drunk than ever. At this it is a
question whether the SIS, 900 reward he
gets will do him much good.

The German Parliament.

In the German empire the legislative
branch Of government is not constructed
on the lines that rule in most countries.
There are two houses, but they do not
correspond TO our representative cham
Der and senate.
When the consolidation of the Ger
man states into an empire took place
under Bismarck's sway, there was form
ed the bundesrath. The confederation
of the different states formed a council
to sit at Berlin. The federation itself
was called a ''bund, or bond; its coun-
Gil was the ''rath." Delegates are ap-
pointed by the rulers Of the separate
states as members Of the bundesrath.
These form a council to deliberate on
measures for the good Of the whole en-
pire. When they decide on a bill, they
frame it and recommend it to the impe-
rial legislature, which is called the
reichstag. If the reichstag sees fit, it
passes the act the bundesrath has pre-
pared, and the bill becomes a law when
the emperor's signature is affixed.
1t is not necessary, however, for an
act to originate in the bundesrath. 1t
may originate in the reichstag and be
passed. But the bundesrath has the
same veto power enjoyed by the British
house of lords. Members of the emper'
or's cabinet also frame bills for the
r~eichstag to pass.
The members Of the reichstag arr
elected by the people. Emperor Viii
liam is one of the most arbitrary rulers
that ever sat on the German throne, ant
he is fully persuaded that he represents
the Almighty to the German people, ye
he makes a great show of patronizinl
the reichstag, as when he opened it
sessions in person in a characteristic
speech at the dedication Of the new an
splendid parliament house. But for al
: that, if this reichstag elected by tn
l people to make laws for them does no
: pass his pet bills for raising money Q
for suppressing socialists, he will dis
solve it in a hurry and order a new cleo

Blaming the Government.

The delusion the popular mind labors
under that government is in some way
responsible for its disasters is most ar
~tistically illustrated in the financial
panic at present ravaging Newfound-
land. For generations the merchants
there have been supplying the fishermen
what they need on credit. Fishing is
the industry on which the island de-
ponds for its life. The fish have been
gradually becoming scarcer, so that the
industry does not pay so we'll as it used
to do. This being the case, numbers Of
the fishermen have deserted the schoon-
ers and taken employment on the rail-
ways that have been lately constructed.
This makes the catch of fish smaller
still. Nevertheless merchants have con-
tinued, just as before, to fit out the fish
ing schooners with all their supplies
for the season, provisions, fishing tao
kle, bait and clothing on credit, trust
ing to the size of the catch to reimburse
them. In bad seasons the catch did not
nearly do this. Then the merchants had
to borrow money from the banks to tide
them over. For many years this went
on, but the bottom fell out at last, as il
always must do where business is done
on the principle of borrowing money
and going in debt. The merchants fail
ed all in a bunch, and then the banks
that had loaned them money failed, too,
and chaos reigns in Newfoundland,
Now the inhabitants are bowling thai
it is all the fault Of the government
