Counterfeiters Jailed.

BRUNSWICK, Ca, Jan. 10.-The ar
rest of P. H. Allsboro. reported brief
ly in these dispatches last night, has
developed into one of the largest sized
sensations of the new year and en-
braces several States and many peo-
pie, besides bidding fair to implicate a
governmental official in a neighbor,
ing State. .Allsbrook is the king bee
of a gang of dangerous counterfeiters.
who have been flooding the Carolinas,
Tennessee, Georgia and other South
ern States with spurious money Tor a
long time past. They dealt in big
game and coined only gold metal,
considering silver too small to bother
with. In addition. his gang made ex-
cellent counterfeit bills,a there was
little trouble in passing them, so per-
feet was their work. The secret ser
vive division of the Treasury Depart.
ment has been on his track for months.
1t is believed that a government otfi-
cial some distance from this city is
suspected of beinga confederate. Ais
brooks also had confederates IN Bruins
wick and more arrests will be made
in Brunswick tomorrow morning, in
cluding both white and colored peo-
pie. Allsbrook was trapped by de-
coy notice from Postmaster Brown
that a registered letter awaited him.
Brown had been put on the watch by
Inspector Forsythe of Atlanta, and
when Allsbrook responded he was ar
rested. His commitment trial for the
passage of counterfeit coin and bills
in Brunswick will be held before
Commissioner Lehman tomorrow.
Allsbrook is modest and retiring in
disposition and worked in Brunswick
under the guise of a laborer at Brown
& CARRIERS planning mill. Inspector
Forsythe arrived this morning and
regards the catch one of the biggest OF
his experience.

More Bonds.

We have a wonderful system of f.
nance in this country. The Atlanta
Constitution presuming that the Dem
ocrats in Congress are as blind to the
gold movement as they are to every
thing else thatis calculated to lay new
burdens on the people, calls their at
tention to the fact that more than half
of the gold paid into the treasury for
bonds few days ago has been drawn
out by the Wall street banks This
means another bond issue, of course.
The gold that has been withdrawn has
not been exported. Not more than
third of it has been sent across the wa
ter. The rest have been secured in
the vaults of the Wall street banks,
where it will be held until another
bond issue. Then it will be paid into
the treasury again, and again with
drawn to buy more bonds. This rob-
berry Of the people Is going on right
before the eyes of Congress-rightun-
der tie noses Of the Democratic lead
ers. Instead OF making a protest, in
stead OF providing remedy, instead
OF putting through a joint resolution
warning the ShylockS that the bonds
they are buying areillegal. these lead
ers and their followers are nudging
one another in the short ribs and pre-.
pairing Tor spree at the expense OF
the people. The attitude of Congress-
browbeaten. subservieHtand imbecile,
is 4 I.i>;eous mockery Every matter
that co"es up except the question of
financial relief. receives almost in
slant attention. Rut wi:ci: the inter-
ests OF the people areto be considered.
the agents of Wall street pass the word
around and Immediately there is con-
fusion and disorder III the Democratic
ranks. The leaders 60 to the rear and
tuft-hunters and the time-seryers come
to the front. No wonder the people
are disgusted and disheartened. It is
enough to tisheacten ard disgust
them to see their chosen representa-
tires give Wal street the right of way
in al financial legislation.

Bnnkruptin. Il State.

PIERRE. S. D.. Jan. State Treas,
urer Taylor, who should have turned
over his cash to his successor yester.
day, failed to appear and his bank, the
Redfeld National Bank, has closed its
doors. When last heard Of Taylor was
in New York. On Saturday he should
have had $3.50, 600, and should have
paid $4,000 Saturday to take up
funding warrants in New York. His
bonds are $3.50 900, but will stand SO
per cent shrinkage. 1t has been
known for some time that Treasurer
TAYLOR was hard pressed. He was
caught in the Chemical National
Bank failure at Chicago for 4 large
amount and he lost $50. .0C0 in the bank
at Milbanl1, and $4,000 in that at
Geldsberg, which failed during the
panic. Altogether he lost $500. 900.
The First National Bank at Redheld,
davlor's bank, closed its doors yester-
Tav. The bank is in good. condition
and it is thought will payall its debts.
The banks at Pierre will not lose any
thing. If the defalcation is as large
as the bondsmen believe, it will plac e
the State in very embarrassing posi-
tion. No warrants or bonds can be
sold. and there is a considerable def
cheney in the revenue. Without this
it would have been difficult problem
to make both ends meet; now 1t IS I'M
possible. Taylor has always had a re
putation as financier and man of
integrity. The school fund 1nay lose
$50. 900.

The constitutional Convention.

The Columbia Register in discuss
ING the constitutional convention says
the members of that body ought not
to be picked up haphazard; they
should be chosen with care and delib-
Grafton, due consideration being given
to the merits and abilities OF all candi-.
dates. 1t viii be a high and great
honor TO a man to be entrusted with
the power that belongs to a member
of the constitutional convention. The
General Assembly has SO fixed it that
members of the convention will get
little else out of that Office than honor,
which is well. There will be Xanv
men who will aspire to membership in
the convention: a.2a~esstssrSo esstsrS Of the as
pirants will not be fit to sit in such a
| body. When it meets, South Carroll
mas fate Will hang in trembling bal
ance, and it viii depend upon the
character and ability of the members
as to which side shall go up. The Re
form faction is responsible for the call
ing of the convention, and therefore
| the Reform faction will be held re-
sponsible for It's results This is a
| great and pressing responsibility. It
Should be felt to be such by every Re
former who voted for the calling of
the convention, and doubtless is. Saw
ing common sense, undoubted integ-
rity and true patriotism should be
manifestly the leading qualities of the
conventions s members They should
be above all men deeply imbued with
the idea that the good of the entire
State is q higher aim to seekto accom-
plish than the good of any faction. If
! the convention is composed OF men
with that idea firmly implanted in
them, there is little possibility of its
work being harmful. To such a con-
vention it would be absolutely safe to
ertrust the immense power of a body
charged with the duty of devising a
new Fundamental law for the State.
Little has yet been said as to what part
the State Democratic organization will
take in the constitutional convention
election. That is a phase of the mat
ter which should be discussed and set
tied. The Democratic Executive Com
mittee ought to meet and provide for
g Democratic primary for the nomina-
ton OF delegates. Such action will
probably create some complications,
and the sooner their nature is known
the better will it be for the success Of
work for their removal The white
men of South Carolina ought to 60 sol
idly TO tie election and there is no
reason why they should not. Other
wise there is danger ahead.

Under Negro Rule Again.

RALEIGH, n. c.. Jan. 10-Two
hours of the time of the House today
was spent in listening to the Cover

twenty-eight thousand words. The
Populists and Republicans then intro
duced bills upsetting past Democratic
legislation, chiefly in the election law
and the county government system

The Senatorial fight grows warmer
if anything. and it is now thought
that the field is combined against Jeter
Pritchard, who is considered Buffers

Pearson before the election. Candi-
date Mott, who is considered by many
probably the most sagacious of the
candidates, says that the complexion
of the fight may change when election
time comes, and he said this with
seeming sureness of effective opposi-
ton to develop against Pritchard.

and that, too, under the Spanish flag.

to live under the Spanish flag just as Can

New York World Correspondent Visits Two
Cuban Provinces.
New YORK, Sept. N.-The Worlds cor
respondent in Cuba, who has just visited
the provinces of Santa Clara and Santi
ago, reports that the rebellion has grown
remarkably since he last visited those sec
tiOns. He says: 1.-The claim of the Span.
ish press that the rebellion was an upris
ing of blacks was borne out by my observa
tions. There were on the 1st of June
about 5000 men i'm the field in Santiago, a
considerable number of whom were un
armed and four-fifths of whom were
negroes or men of color. There were a
few unorganized bands prowling in the
forests of Puerto Principe, awaiting q
leader.
''The wealthy and fertile province OF
Santa Clara was subservient to Spanish
authority, excepting a number of dis
contented country people who had taken
to the woods near Sancti Spiritus. Now
n great change has taken place. Antonio
Naceo has under his general command s.,
600 fairly armed followers. Outside the
towns and garrisioned posts held by the
Spanish troops Maceo is the master of the
country throughout the province. The
greatest change that has occurred in Cuba
since June ! is apparent in the province
of Santa Clara. This is the great sugai
growing district and is the principal
source of wealth of the island. There are
nearly 1900 insurgents in the various
groups in Santa Clara. Many are not
armed, however
