ACCOUNTS IN BAD SHAPE
Librarian spanords Methods OF Book
keeping had.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The report
OF Expert Myers of the fifth auditors
office, which has just been presented
to Secretary Carlisle, shows that Aims
worth r. Spofford, the venerable Ii.
brarian Of congress, is behind in his
accounts owing to bad methods OF
bookkeeping.
In an interview Mr. Spofford makes
the following explanation Of the mat
ter.
The whole difficulty springs from
the multiplicity of duties that have
been forced upon me. I have not had
time in connection with my duties as
librarian to pay proper attention to
those attached to the office of register
Of copyrights. The two positions
should be made separate and distinct
l have recommended this to the treas
ury department., but of course, they
can do nothing toward diyorcing the
two offices without legislative action.
1 shall recommend the same thing to
congress when it meets. In the press
OF business it is true that my accounts
have become somewhat involved, but
i stand ready to make good any dis
crepancies that may be found by the
treasury officials. | offered short
time ago to make up the deficiency of
$4,000 that has been discovered,
but it is not correct to say
that that offer has been re-
fused. I have received no definite
answer to my proposition. AS to the
matter of search fees, and their
illegality, it is a fact that there is no
special authority in law for collecting
such fees. But there is explicit au-
thority in law for charge for records
of copyright and copies of copyright.
The time of the clerk required in maxi
ing the search is of value to the gov
ernment, and it seems to me only
right that litigants and others desiring
to use that time should be required TO
ray for it. l calculated that about
fifty cents an hour was the value
of the time of my assistants who were
employed on this work, and based
my charges on that calculation Every
dollar that l have received from this
source-and the requests for searches
have been very nnmerous-I have
turned into the treasury. / have made
no distinction between these fees and
those received from copyrights, and
have turned them all in as copyright
fees. That is all care to say on the
subject" I"

Dynamited.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. %. Tho
fast express, known as the FLYER"
on the Chicago aud West Michigan
railroad, leaving Chicago at O'Clock
and arriving here at 1O:40 was held up.
by five men ina piece of woods just
before crossing the Kalamazoo river
at 8 o'clock last night. The train was
tagged by swinging a white light
across the track. The brakeman,
Timothy Murphy, was seriously
wounded by pistol shots fred by the
bandits.
The robbers proceeded to the express
car and ordered Expressman Boyd Van
Often to open the door. This he re-
fused to do, and the robbers began
firing at the train, breaking all tha
windows in the express car. Finding
Van Often not easily scared, one of the
robbers forced the door, and then two
went in, and while one covered the
expressman, the other blew open the
safe. They got nothing, as it was
empty. The robbers then proceeded
to the passenger cars, firing as they
went. Opening the car, they held up
Conductor E. E. Rice, securing 81 in
cash. While this was going OH, the
two other robbers went through En-
gineer Zibbell, got his watch and also
took one from Fireman Driscoll.
After firing some shots at the train,
the robbers struck out into the woods.
After the train was started, it ran into
an obstruction short distance north
Of the place of the hold up. The rob-
bers had piled the track with old ties
and some time was spent in clearing
the track. The train was held twenty
minutes, and arrived in this city at II
o'clock

of the county ommissioners into the
management of the Dunning insane
asylum began yesterday. Thirty thous-

the story of the Puck murder 1t was
told by DR.. McGraw, resident physi-
clan of Dunning asylum. 1t concerned
battle between two mad men, who
had fought in the corridor of ward 2,
while Anderson, accessory to the MUIR
der of Pucik was on watch. These two
patients quarreled over some silly,
childish difference
They came to blows. They tore at
each others faces and rolled about the
floor while Anderson looked on One
of them in the frenzy of raving ma
MAC, set his teeth into the face of the
other. He bit off his nose, and spat it
out on the stone floor of the corridor.
The maniac with whom this patient
was battling sprang away from the
death grip, fell bleeding and scream
ing to the floor, saw the flesh torn
from his own face, stuffed it into his
mouth and chewed his own nose to a.
pulp and swallowed it. He said that
it would make it grow again, and An

This was the sworn testimony of Dr.
McGraw, resident physician at Dun

en- one of the commissioners turned
sick and pale. julie Adams, one of the
| committee, covered her face with her
face with her hands and clutched at
the arm of her chair.

well-known views on the silver Ques-
lion, and widens the breach between
aim and a majority of his party. The
president insults that majority by his
lecture on sound money. His idea
seems to be that gold alone is sound
money, and that the value of every
thing is measured in gold He pro-
poses to destroy one-half of the primary
money of the world and to sustain this
outrage by the cry of unsound money.
Il agree with Mr.. Cleveland in his
position on the appointment of COM
missioners to an international monetary
congress. There was never any thing
practical in the proposition, and never
will be. We must act for ourselves
and give the world to understand that
we are true bimetallists, honestly in
favor of both gold and silver as pri-
mary money. This is the great issue
IN the coming campaign, and we intend
to fight it out in the national convention
and in every state in the union. The
struggle will be in the northwest in
stead Of in the northeast, as heretofore,
and we must align our forces with that
certainty before us.
''The talk about nominating a south
ern democrat for president in 1896 is
absurd. We must win or lose on free
come tax, and it would be suicidal to
invite war prejudices and sectional
feeling unnecessarily"

Sacrifices to the God of NIammon.

The sacrifice of human lives exacted
by the god of mammon each year in
this country is reaching alarming pro-
portions, and it is simply astounding
when we consider the figures and the
sum total.
Last year over $4,000 railway en-
ployes lost their lives, saying nothing
of the thousands of passengers killed,
two-thirds of the number being sac
rifices to the god of mammon by rea-
son of the avarice and greed of railway
corporations result of careless or
bad management, poor equipment, and
overwork of employees.
In 1894 there were $500 murders COM
mitted in the United States, 80 per cent
of which can be traced to vicious sys-
TENS brought about by class legislation
through the influence of the devotees
of the god of mammon.
Last year there were 4,911 suicides
in the country, the cause of nearly one
half being attributed to dependency,
while large per cent of the remainder
can undoubtedly be traced to causes
that make the greed of man responsible
for the rash acts of these unfortunates.
To these may be added a large per
cent of ose who go down to drunk
ards graves-cut off, many of them,
in the prime of manhood, whose lives
were wasted and finally ended by rea-
son of systems and environments
brought about by the worshipers of
mammon.
The sacrifice of human lives is not all
that the god of mammon demands. The
penitentiaries, jails and warehouses; of
the land are filled with his victims.
Gaunt poverty stalks the land, leaving
in its wake misery, sorrow and woe.
Millions are hungry for bread they
cannot earn. Millions are starving
that the insatiate NAV of avarice and
greed may be constantly fed.
Appalling as the picture is, it is a
true one, and calls for calm, deliberate
study. We cannot as people evade it
1t is before us in all it's hideousness-
standing out in bold relief. Christian
people should study it. Humanitarians
should give it their special attention
for as sure as God rules and sits in
judgment upon the world He will al
last hear the cry of the oppressed and
bring the oppressors to judgment. Goo

not always chide, neither will He keer
