All were quickly in the saddle and
once more upon the trail. Vic returned
with q bound before her masters horse
and received peremptory order to keep
close beside him. The party rode as fast
as possible and didnot make noise, hop
ing to get considerable distance away
before they were discovered, but they
had not gone far when an exultant yell
from the Navajoes showed they were
seen.
As they galloped on Raymer said to
the priest, riding on his right:
'The Indians cannot cross the ravine
to MS without going back a mile"
'"They Will not 60 back. Their trail
and ours meet beyond La Roca Grande.

Through vista in the forest which
had been gradually opening as they sped

butte which lifted its summit nearly
300 feet skyward, and which presented
on the side toward him an almost per-

THE TOPIC OF THE HOUR.

Within the past year, and espec-
tally within the past six months,
finance has taken, as topic of press
discussion, the place occupied for
several years past by the tariff.
Contradictory and irreconcilable
as are the positions, complex and
confused as are the arguments, of
the political parties and leaders of
the country upon the tariff ques-
tion, they are no less SO upon the
question of finance. The great po-
litical problem Of the day in the
United States is the problem OF re-
forming the National currency.
The man or woman who pretends
to be we'll informed willnot be con-
tent to learn the views of a few
newspapers only upon the financial
and other question of the hour, but
will seek in some way to get sur
vey of the press discussion in all
parts Of the country and upon all
sides of the questions at issue.
There is no way to get such sur
vey except by reading journal
that gives extracts and condensed
statements from all the leading
representative papers and reviews.
Such journal is Public Opinion,
published weekly at Washington,
D. G. In its particular. field it is
unique and unrivnled. 1t covers
the entire range of current news
and comment, political, sociological,
financial, scientific, religious, liter
ary, both American and foreign.

Institute of Civics it has inaugu-
rated an exceedingly helpful plan

FALSE PRETENSE.

While the adm ission is being
made in the Republican press that
there has been 100000 deficiency
in the State Treasury, they set up
the claim that IL no longer exists
and print lot of false and mislead-
ing figures to fool the people.
But it is false pretense. They
know that the deficiencies author
lied and inevitable, added to the
short revenues, will make the de-
ficiencies 100000 by the first of
January 1896.
They say nothing of the $4,000
deficiencies already authorized.
Nor of the $2l4,OOO inevitable
military deficiency.
Nor the S25,OOO Home for the
Blind deficiency.
Nor the $4,000 or 100000 I'm be-
cile Institute deficiency.
Nor the $4,000 Soldiers and Sail
ors Orphans Home deficiency.
Nor the 1926 900 rate Of deficien-
cy at which the Penitentiary is now
running.
The entire business of the State
government today, is the running
up of deficiencies and collecting
revenues six months or longer in
advance to meet liabilities. Bank
ruptcy is bad enough without add
ing false pretense to it.-Democrat.

Report Of Examining
Committee.

To the Hon. Joseph G. Huffman
Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas of Hooking County, Ohio.
We, your Committee heretofore
appointed, to investigate and ex-
anime the financial transactions of
the County Commissioners for the
year next preceding the Bird Mon
day of September A. D., 1894, have
carefully Investigated and examined
the same as embodied in the fore.
going report. We have compared
each voucher, account and receipt on
file with the corresponding item or
amount in the above report. We
have also examined the law govern
ing the questions arising during our
investigation and now beg leave to
submit the following report:
We find that the County CON-
missioners, during the period cover
ed by the foregoing report, have
been careful in the discharge of
their duties, and have acted in con-
forrnity to law. They seem to have
exercised prudence and care in all
their expenditures, especially has
the County fund been carefully
guarded and judiciously expended.
We find but one slight error in
their entire transactions. In item
l2l under County Fund one dollar
more was paid out than was allowed. /.
The Ihhrmary Directors, whose
positions are trying and arduous,
have not exceeded their authority
in any particular. Their scrutiny
of bills has been close and careful.
In their entire transactions for
the period covered by the above re-
port We were able to discover but
one error. In item l3<under Child
ren's Home Fund an allowance of
FIVE dollars and twenty five cents
was made, whereas but four dollars
and twenty-five cents, the amount
for which the bill was presented,
should have been allowed.
Valuable assistance has been rend-
cred us in our Investigations ny the
Auditor. MIR. Armstrong, in whom
the people, we take pleasure in say
ing, have a faithful and efficient
public servant.

sons Prayer Habit in
Battle.

From the Lexington, Va, News. June 14th.
In his address here on memorial day Gen
Fitz Lee talked of the fights at Manassas,
Sharpsburg Fredericksburg and Chancellors-
Vile and particularly the latter which he
held to be, considering the odds against the
Confederates, the greatest victory OF the war.
An interesting incident just upon the opening
of that fight was recalled by him. At the
time Jackson began the flank movement to
strike Hookers rear he. Lee. was in front of
his corps and sought to locate Hooker's posi-
ton in the rear. Guided by citizen of tn e
locality he reached the top of high hill from
which he could see Hooker's men lying in
camp completely off their guard and open to
easy attack. He at once rode back and met
Jackson who was leading his command by a
different road to a point where attack would
have been much more hazardous. Jackson
joined him with courier and rode to the top
of hill where he looked out He quickly
gave the courier orders to deliver to the brig
ade commanders, to change their route, and
General Lee sat upon his horse by his side
expecting to hear from General Jackson some
words Of commentator for his discovery.
He heard nothing, and turning saw Jackson
with face turned toward the hosts below and
eyes closed in prayer. Quickly then
without one word to Lee he turned his horses
head and rode rapidly down the hill to join
his troops. sHe rode we'll but awkardly." said
Lee, land at eacn plunge of the horse he look
ed as if he would go over its head. and for
the time such were my feelings that | felt

THE FREE SILVER CONVENTION

The free silver convention that met al
Memphis last Thursday, was large, enthu
siastic, theatrical-lt had a strong flavor OF
the ''boom" days of 1S9O-91 about it. The
delegates found ready prepared for them
badges with the figures l6 lin silver gilt
to Tin gold gilt printed thereon. There
were free silver Democrats and free silver
Republicans there-Senators Harris and
Bates of Tenn, Stewart Of Nevada, George
and Walthall of Miss, Teller of Colorado
Turpie of Ind, Tillman of S. c., Marion
Butler of n. e., Jones and Barry OF Ar.
kansas, and then there were men of less de-
gree like ex-Congressmen w. J. Bryan OF
Nebraska, and Warner of Ohio. Everybody
wanted free coinage of silver at 16 to
whether the rest Of the world goes into the
venture or not; but nobody seemed to want
to quit his political party to get it.
There was no lack of enthusiasm, but a
very decided want Of partizan cohesion
Men fought shy of any proposition for &
new party-a free silver party. OF course
there was nothing for such body to do but
to express its opinions and adjourn
and it did SO after appointing al
executive committee and authorizing
it to call national convention of
the friends Of free silver if it was deem
ed advisable. The idea that seemed to rule
the members Of the two great political
parties. was to try between now and 1896
majority of the delegates to each great pc.
litical convention would favor il.
