very earliest history Of the state this
fact has been recognized, and theimport-
ance..oi the Office has kept pace with the
growth Of the commonwealth and the I'M
crease In tho number Of its Institutions
So rapid has been this development aud
increase that the auditor general u now
the executive head OF the most extensive
department OF state government. De
volving upon the incumbent OF this inn
portant Office il the supervision oil ali
accounts between the state and all those
with whom il has financial dealings. In
this capacity the auditor general Il, IN a
sense, the watchdog OF the treasury"
for without his sanction not a dollar OF
money can be paid from the funds Of the
state. Another important duty which
this official Is required TO perform is that
which has To do with the levying and
collecting OF the state tax and thcscveral
specific taxes provided for by the constr
tuition. Finally, il is within the scope
OF this officials duties TO supervise the
financial relations OF the state with the
various state institutions.
IL will thus he seen that the details
which 60 10 make up the general require
ment referred TO constitute in their en-
tirety the matters Of state business with
which the tax payers arc most vitality
concerned. The need for the exercise OF
the utmost caution in the selection ol
person to whom the discharge Of these
duties is TO be entrusted must be readily
appreciated by all who have theinterestF
OF the party and the state at heart.
The wise and proper performance O
the duties devolvips upon the incumbent
OF the office OF auditor general necessi
tates thorough knowledge Of the needi
OF the various institutions and the sys
tenn upon which they are conducted, NJ
well as complete familiarity with tn
legislation affecting each.
The Herald believes that no ono who
has been mentioned ia connection Will
the nomination for auditor general pos
sesscs the knowledge requisite 20 TIN
best possible discharge Of the numerou
and exacting duties Of the office to sucl
degree as o. G. Tompkins, who, 10
several years, has made a careful AM
exhaustive study oT these very qncs
tions and has had opportunities Tor put
ting the knowledge thus acquired to
practical test. So generally is MI
Tompkin's fitness Tor this office rccol
nized throughout the state, that az
wards OF sixty Republican nep spapcrs
representing between forty uni iit
counties, have thus early endorsed hi
candidacy for the nomination for aud
tor general. Neither Mr.. Tompkin'
Rcpublicanism nor ability has eve
[, been questioned, and we believe tina
the party would be doing itself an homo
and the state service 10y nominatin
him for this important office.

An amusing little incident, connected
with the celebrated George Cruikshank,
Is related by Edmund Yates In his
Fifty Years OF London Life" IL was
Ut the time that Mr.. Frank Smcdlcy
was editor of periodical called Cruik.
shanlf's Magazine. which hourished
only short time.
Mr.. Yates says that an Interview be-
tween Crulrshank and Smedlcy was a
very comic sight for looker-on. Tho
old artist would bounce about the
room, illustrating by violent action and
gesture everything he said, wholly I'M
restrained by fear of becoming gro
tesque. The little editor, screwed up
ia his wheel chair, peered at his visitor
out Of the corners of his small eyes, and
strongly appreciated every item Of the
performance.
zone warm morning, says Mr.. Yates,
sCruikshank arrived In Jermyn street
and pulled chair III front ot Ssiea
ley's desk, being evidently full of bust
ness. The old mans chevelure in hi
later days was always of an extraordi
nary kind, long wisps of gray hair
being brought from the back OF his
head over the scalp, aud secured there
with narrow elastic band; but In ad
dition TO this, on this occasion, Smed
ley perceived that Cruilsshanh had {
small perforated bone wheel fixed n
the center Of his forehead.

withdraw his eyes from II; and at last

the interview, testify demanded wha
he was staring at.

NOT DANGEROUS.

Matter Right.


Matter Right.
An Englishman has just advanced a
theory In London medical journal that
win be hailed with delight by ut least
the younger generation OF this coun-
try and probably by the youth Of all the
world, says the Washington Star. This
Briton has delivered scientific opinion
to the effect that kissing, once the Of
iect of much medical dlsrepute, Is an
altogether wholesome and heeithy ex-
ercise; that It is not the dangerous
practice which 1t he's Of late been
painted, and that, instead OF being
avoided, as being fraught with bacteri-
illogical menace. IL Is TO be encouraged
as one Of the best of all exercises for
the human system. This may be put
ting II little strong, and, perhaps,
stronger than the scientific Englishman
intends that his opinions should be
taken, but II Is cheering, nevertheless.
II was deadly blow that WIS leveled
at the art of OSCILLATION when the med
zeal world declared that kissing from
lip To lip tended Tn intiufuos into
either one OF tho two systems that
were thus engagcd--and sometimes not
engaged--new forms OF animal life
that were deleterious TO health. One
or other of the klssers was supposed 10
be always fairly teeming with bacteria.
To kiss meant sure, though, perhaps,
slow death. A shudder ran through the
amativc, sentimental world, and the
market rate of kisses fell with a thud.
Hitherto affectionate couples become
distant, preserving radius of nAicroh.
ical safety, as II were. When fears
were overcome, and sureptitionsl kisses
taken, the apprehension fingered that
a great danger had been faced. II
cannot be denied that the average kiss
grew shorter In duration and dimin-
ished in frequency. But the lntest
scientific opinion has probably checked
the tendency TO sidctrack the kiss,
This opinion Is 10 the effect that in tbs
kissing persons encounter only. The
beneficent organisms, and that che adj
vantages Of kissing far outweigh its
inhnitesimal risk.

Earnest Words of a Leading and Lifelong
Republican.
The gold craze is dying out. The men
who were proud to be known as mem
bers of the party of Abraham Lincoln
will refuse to line up with Mark Han
mas Shylocks and their Democratic
camp followers. Hon. H. S. Cochran,
one of the Lest-known lawyers Of Iowa
and a lifelong Republican,, in a recent
address said:
Il d%enounce the st. Louis Republican
platform because it seeks to stab to
death the constitution of the United
States. 1t seeks to engraft upon the

states which made it, the BILE

WHEN SHERMAN WAS HONEST.
Legislation Alone Gives Value to the
rec Dus NCti!s.

Legislation None Gives Value to the
rec ouS Metals.
when Joha Sherman thought less of
self and more OF his country, ard when
he was lc.s ~uIae:rie:t to the money
made t. ti.eUnitei States enate June
g, 1865. i'll his sophistry of today can
not weaken .1.e force or cloud the truth
Of What he tten said:
1.-THE gold single standard is an Amer
lean idc&. Yielded SO reluctantly by
France ard ,tEcr countries where gold
and siiver\e-e the standard of value.
The annual sUIiy Of the precious met
els has little cr thing to do with their
value. What is it. then, that affects
their value chiefly? Is it the demand?
What is it that c0c"titutes the demand
for gold? Is it for the use in the arts ?
Very little of ii can be used. There
fore, 1t is its use as money that reates
a demand for it and gives 1t its value.
If an-tAa- Eurcrean tates and our
country were today to demonetize gold
and remonetize silver would not these
two metals Immediately change places?
Now, IL this be true, what Is II that
creates the value of the precious met
ais? 1t Is legislation. Legislation gives
value to the precious metals and the
commercial value simply records the
condition Of legislation with reference
to the precious metals. Now, IL legis-
lation creates the chief demand for
money, If we legislate so as to utilize
silver, We increase the demand and
thus increase the value Of silver"

Disastrous Effects Of Shrinking Currency
Predicted Twenty Years Ago.
The United States silver commission,
In it's report, presented in 1876. is

However great the natural resources
of a country may be; however genial
its climate. fertile it's soil. ingenious,
enterprising and Industrious its inhab-

volume of money Is shrinking and
| prices are falling. its merchants will
! be overwhelmed with bankruptcy, its
industries will be paralyzed and desti-
tuition and distress will prevail"
The sad fulfllment OF the prophecy
may be told in a few brief para
graphs:
Prices have fallen so per cent!
Merchants are bankrupt!
Industries p~aralyzed!
Destitution and distress prevail!
The burden of debt increasing!
The volume Of money shrinking!
