The termination of the Waller
case does not in the least alter
the duty of the United States to
her citizens. All that has been
asked was that he should be held
innocent untilprovedg guilty. The
French government has proved
its case against him, butt would
have been just as well to have
done so months ago. Short ac-
counts make long friendships,
and the less time wasted in such
cases the better for International
relations.

The following from the Toledo
Blade, concerning one of our rep
resentatives in Congress, is no
fulsome fattery but a plain
statement of an actual condition
which we all knew existed:
Mr.. Powers, OF Vermont, is probably
the best known of the Congressional
school teachers. He is looked upon as
one of the profoundest lawyers in that
body, and his opinions upon any ques-
ton of constitutional law always COM
mand consideration. 1t is said that he
was a most successful teacher and he
does not disdain to employ the same tao
tics in Congress that he found stood him
in good stead in the class room. He is
chairman of the committee on Pacific
railroads, a position requiring both legal
knowledge and diplomacy. He has
large map in the committee room, and
whenever he discusses the subject he H.
1ustrates the government connection
with the lines, which are subsidized, and
which are not, by means of red and black
lines. Judge Powers has very much the
appearance of college professor, and
when he stands, pointer in hand, and ex-
plains some knotty problem growing out
of the governments connection with the
railroads, he looks the typical New
England teacher,

George Washington once said:
81 hope | shall always possess
frmness and virtue enough to
maintain what | consider the
most enviable of all titles, the
character of an honest man" 1t
does require frmness and virtue
to be an honest man, especially
in these days when so many peo-
pie in high places are willing to
do anything for gold, but virtue
is surely it's own reward. Owing
to the perverted and superficial
way of estimating values, dis
honest people are often given
much attention and considera-
ton merely because of their
money, while thousands of OBJ
scure heroes who would rather
be poor than to be dishonesty
rich are snubbed and kept in OBJ
security merely because of their
lack of money. Lack of means is
a terrible stumbling block to
overcome, but ill-gotten gains
can do no man any real or last
ing good.

Mrs. Surratt was hung for the
murder of Mr.. Lincoln, She did
not by her own hand do the deed
did not employ anyone to do it,
nor was she present when it was
done being at a distance at the
time. And yet the full penalty
of the law for murder in the first
degree was visited on her. She
was accessory to the crime. An
other thought, suppose man
stands beside a building, another
stands upon his shoulders, a third
upon his and with burning torch
sets fire to the roof and the build
ing is burned; each of them,
knowing what is being done, is
responsible and the law would
so regard them. Apply these
cases to the rum traffic. y

An Item That Has Annoyed the Treasury
Cashier for Many Years.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May "a Sun spe-
clal from Washington says: The books of
the United States Treasury carry an item
OF 81, ,OO0,O 600 which represents United States
notes which are supposed to have been
consumed in the great Chicago fire twenty
five years ago. 1t is known that there was
Sl,OO0,O00 of currency, more or less. in the
vaults of the sub-treasury then, and that
none OF it was recovered, but the denomi-
nations of these notes and the exact
amount are unknown, as the books of the
cashier were consumed also.
There could not have been, however
very many dollars less or very many dol
lars more than one million, and it would
simplify the accounts of the treasury and
save great deal of labor to the bookkeep-
ers If Congress should pass bill or reso-
luton recognizing the fact that this money
is no longer in existence, for every day
when the cashier in the treasury balances
his accounts he has to include this item,
deducting it or adding it as the case may
be from the amount in hand. IL appears
upon every daily, weekly, monthly and
yearly statement of the assets and liability
OF the Government as unknown DESTROYED
United States notes, s., ,000, ,000."

CHICO, CAL, May 9.-The Mayday cele-
bration, postponed to to-day because of a
storm on May 1, was held to-day. Since
early morning the streets have been
crowded. From lowiands and mountains
have come the roisterers. Hundreds of
little tots, dressed in all the colors of the
rainbow. happy IN the possession of pop
corn and candy, added life to the throng.
Merchants and business men-in fact all
the people of this pretty town-have had
but one thought, and that was to make
this day the most enjoyable to the people
of the surrounding country. The stores
and banks were decorated in brilliant col
ors OF red, white and blue. The celebra-
ton owes its success to the able manage
ment OF the executive committee, COM
posed of the leading merchants and busi-
ness men.
The parade was the most imposing one
that has been seen here in many years.
The marshal of the day, o. L. Clark, with
his gayly decorated steed, and the fine
looking young men who acted as his aids,
were admired by the young ladies. The
military and the tiremen made fine ap-
pearance.
The central attractions in the grand pa
rade were the hadsome Queen of May, Miss
Clara Cussick, and her lovely maids of
honor. Miss Frieda JuDkans and Miss Bes-
sic Collins. The queen was dressed in

sand people passed through the gates at
the Garden City Cyclers' track to-day, and
about 1000 small boys crawIed under or
over the fences to witness the National
circuit bicycle races; and they were well
repaid for their trouble, for the meet was
one of the best ever held in this State.
The races were all fast and exciting, and
the high class of the men who rode made
the events doubly interesting. In the pro-
fessional events this was particularly true,
for such cracks as Wells, Coulter, Long,
Terrill, Jones, Edwards, Osen, Mcfarland,
and a dozen others of equal ability as
racers, were brought together, and their
finishes of the races were fast and desper-
ate.
The audience was made up largely of
ladies. They outnumbered the men five
