DEPEW ON THE SITUATION.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, the great rail
road magnet, who is supposed to have
the Presidential bee in his bonnet,
has been interviewed on the political
situation. He says he is ready to
support Reed, Mckinley or any other
good Republican. He is not partic-
ular as to the man or his principles
providing he is "a good Republican.
Regarding the financial question he
says:
The Currency issue will cut larger
figure in the platforms than in the
actual results of the campaign. East
ern people are mainly wage-earners !;
Western people are producers The
Fasteners believes that free silver
coinage will give him only half pay
for his labor, while his wages will
buy only half as much as before. The
Westerner as much for his wheat or
corn, and yet expects to buy things on
the same ratio as at present.
The political bosses are now devot-
ing their attention to the Eastern
workman. If they can make him be-
lieve that he is being robbed Of h II
his wages, when he is paid in stand
ard dollars. they will secure his aid
in the campaign and his vote on cleo
ton day. He is not supposed to know
that a standard dollar is a legal tender
for all debts and that it will buy as
much Of the products Of the West as
gold dollar If he can be taught 10
be as selfish as the goldbug he will
not care for the producers Of the West
or what they receive for their pro-
ducts. Mr.. Depew will not take the
pains to tell him, and the subsidized
papers which he reads will not inform
him, that if the Western producer
cannot get more than the cost Of pro-
duction for his wheat or corn he will
have no money to purchase what the
Eastern workman manufactures. He
is, if possible, to he kept in ignorance
Of the fact that if the former receives
only half a dollar day for his labor
Eastern factories cannot find market
for their products in the West.

BOGUS CERTIFICATES
One or the Ways In Which
Taylor Covered Up His
Shortage.
He DELUDED THE OFFICERS
A Hundred and Thirty Thou
sand Shortage In His
Own Bank.

pRRRR. Feb. 28.-lThe Taylor investi-
gazing committee has got ON the track
of some decidedly interesting testimony.
It Saturday recalled Cashier Humphrey
of Taylor's Redfield bank, and examined
him regarding q certain discrepancy In
former testimony. Mr.. Zimmerman, the
bank examiner, reports that ON April
2I last, Taylor had In the Redfield bank
d credit of only $4,000. Public
Examiner Myers shows q certificate
from that bank that ON that day
Taylor had o credit OF $l70,O00.
Mr.. Humphrey states that the discrep-
ancy ID accounted for in this way: Tay-
lor had the state money on deposit In Q
number Of different banks, the deposits
being payable to himself. These certif-
Gates were kept in q drawer in the bank,
but were not entered ON Tayior's credit.
The April when the examiner called foa
the statement Taylor was present and
had not only his credit OF 10000,
but $780, 600 of these certificates Of
deposit, and Jumping the two, caused
to be certified to the examiner
that he had in the bank $170,OOO. This
scheme really covered q shortage o.
$3.50, 900 since the depository banks al
certified to the amounts on deposit with
them, and i'm this way Taylor deluded
the state officials. The $50, 0OOdescribet
was not passed to Taylor's credit upor
the books of the bank, and do not up
pear there. In other words, his certifl
cate to Myers was q fraud.

BONDS 70 THE GOVERNMENT.

Report Of the Docksry Commission on, the
Subject.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The report Of
the Dockery commission in favor Of q
system Of bonds for public officers, which
has been provided for in q bill intro
duced inpthe house says that there is
no provision made for the examination
OF bonds. at any regular intervals, to
determine whether the amount ia suf-
fcient or the sureties solvent, except i'm
one instance, that of the paymasters of
the army, the law requiring that they
be renewed each four years or
oftener by the order OF the presi-
dent. A detailed examination OF the
bonds that are now on file I'm the various
auditors Offices, discloses the fact that
many of these bonds have been In force
from 10 to 10 years, and some even
longer, without any evidence that any
examination has ever been made of
them or any attention paid to the ques-
ton Of security. There is an average
loss OF about 4 quarter OF the amount
due from bondsnen on bonds Of the
postoffice department, and about half
FOR the securities given In other depart
ments.
DiseoUtinue Personal Bonds.
The dise6itinnanoe OF personal bonds
and the substitution therefor of com
panies organized to do this character of
business would result in an annual saw
ing to the government of at least $685.
600. This estimate Is made on the aver
age OF the lossesin the postofice depart
ment for the last five years.

4 Chehalis County Land Case.

OLYMPIA, March 16.-The commits
sioner of general land office has rend-
cred a decision bearing on a number of
timber filings in Chehalis county.
The case is that Of Dennis Conacher
who, with twenty others, some ten
years ago offered filings in township
10, range 8 west, in Chehalis County.
The then register, John N Convey,
refused the filings on account of the
indemnity selections of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company and the
case was carried to the commissioner
of the general land office. From there
the railroad company appealed to the
secretary of the interior, who sustained
the commissioner in holding that the
lands were not subject to the rights OF
the railroad company, The case was
reported back to the local flee last
August, allowing sixty days and ten
days for the railroad to file motion
for review. No motion having been
filed within the time allowed, the case
was reported to the commissioner for
final action, whereupon the com
missioner decided that the parties be
notified to appear and complete their
entries to the land. The local office
notified the parties, according to
instructions, by registered mail. None
OF them responded, and all of the
letters came back uncalled for. The
case was again reported to the COM
missioner who finally writes: "No
entries being made hereunder, the
case is closed upon the records of this
Office.

z The agitation in favor of raisino
more apples in this state is a timely
one, says the West Coast Trade. 1t is
not only the only fruit that is bringing
good prices on the local market at this
but practically the only commodity.
Washington apples are naturally of
choice quality. and where put up in at
tractive shape, would always command
a satisfactory market by comparison
with other farm products. The capa-
city for production is unlimited, and
II IS hardly proper that California
should be called upon to supply this
market with apples half of the year.
