Ex- -Cabinot Minister Baihaut, recent ly liberated at the conclusion of the term of imprisonment for which he was sentenced for fraud and corruption, of which he had while minister of public works rendered himself guilty ill con nection with the defunct Panama com pany, has, to the astonishment of every body, just been rearrested. 1t appears that he is still liable to the government to the extent of 891, GOO francs fer fines, costs and legal expenses. The courts re- centiy decided that the unfortunate man, who is completely ruined, should either pay this sum at once or be im- prisoned for another year. Naturally he chose the latter. and has HOW the con- soIation of knowing that every minute spent in the penitentiary is wiping off, roughly speaking, about cents of his debt to tho state.

The report of tho Russian prisons de- partment has jast appeared i'll St. Po- tersburg and contains some remarkable statistics. It appears that there are 870 prisons in ksiatic and European Rus sia, with the total number of 1G0, 913 prisoners. The maintenance of this vast army of criminals many of whom are merely political offenders. involves an enormous cost, for which adequate pro vision is not made by the state. The consequence is that ill the majority of cases the inmates of the prison have to endure the worst conceivable sanitary conditions. and tho official figures, which are invariably optimistic, show that no less than 30 per cent of the pris- on population suffer during the year from typhoid fever and kindred cpidem, ics.

The Ocala Banner, in it's issue
of May 2lst, contained long
batch OF very refreshing news
from the Lowell correspondent
who signed himself GARNER. F"
Among other very important
items was the following:
"R. M. Moore, our popular
postmaster, received on Friday a
large batch of Parson Porter's
Weekly Star for distribution, but
as yet has only found four par
ties who would take them from
the office. OF this number three
were negroes, who returned next
day and remailed them to the
parson at Ocala. Can it be pos
sible that our colored population
are finding the parson out?
FARMER -
Yesterday we received COM
munication from Mr.. Moore in
regard to the matter which reads
as follows:
Mr. j. c. Porter, OcGia, Fla.
DEAR SIR-In justice to myself
and your paper, please allow me
to say through your columns that
the statement made by CORES
pondent. to Banner signed
GARNER" in regard to distribu-
tion of papers was a mistake as
| do not know Of but one paper
that was sent back and that one
was sent by "Farmer' himself.
| am unable to say whether he is
a white man Or not.
Yours truly,
r. M. MOORE.
Lowell, May 80, 1897.
Were it not to vindicate the
reputation of postmaster Moore
and the good people Of Lowell 70
reference would be made to such
stuff. The last few issues of the
Banner are almost entirely made
up of such journalism and the
sentiment of the above letter is a
very appropriate reply to the
whole batch. The quality of a
stream is always regulated by
the fountain head.

His Son Harry is Not Alive.
NO. 40.

Several weeks ago, the papers contained
fellow with fertile imagination claiming that
he saw Harry in Karsas City. Evidently, the
object of the story was to cast reflections upon
Ex-Governor St. John, but he paid no attention
to it. Last week, another story was set ahoat,
in which it was stated that one VIM. Canty
had seen Harry St. John at Springfield, ILL.,,
and that he is still alive. This story appeared
in the Topeka State Journal. Upon receipt Of
a copy of the Journal, Governor St. John
wrote the following to that paper
To the Editor of he state journal:
OLATHE, KAS., Feb. IL, 'o7.
Up to the present time have refrained from
making any reply to the maiciously-cruel and
sensational lies that have been published broad
cast over the country to the effect that my son
Harry St. John, we'll known in his lifetime to
thousands of Kansans is still alive. But the
story in the Journal of the 9th inst, that one
William Canty had recently met Harry OH the
streets of Springfield, Illinois, justifes me in
branding i: as absolutely false. Harry died at
Oklahoma City, o. T., October 10, and was
buried at Olney, Illinois, his boyhood home,
four days thereafter. Two leading physicians,
the undertaken and e;nbamer and many of the
prominent citizens who knew him intimately
at Oklahoma City, as we'll as at least one hum
hundred of his former schoolmates and boyhood
days friends, saw his dead body, and the latter
accompanied it to and saw it laid at rest along
side of his little daughter in the cemetery at
Olney, Illinois. This was his last request, and
it was strictly complied with.
Ordinarily, would pay no attention to such
falsehoods, but bear them patiently, as have
often done before, knowing that in time the
truth would assert itself; but in this particular
case, an attempt is made to involve others with
myself in an alleged outrageous deception and
fraud upon the public l have herein stated
simply the truth, and | now offer reward Of
81 900 to Mr.. Canty, or anybody else who will
produce the body of my son. Harry c. St.

by one of the "Vincent boys that made it
such power for good in the campaigns of 1888

w. H. Hull'S Letter.

Hon. VIM. H. Seward, secretary of state,
about the close of the war of IS6I-5, said, or
wrote these words
"But, after all this conflict, this greatest,
proudest and most prosperous of nations still
continues to thrive"
Did Mr. Seward know that it is written in
Proverbs, xvi-1S: "Pride goeth before destruc-
ton, and a naughty spirit before a fall"?
Nineteenth verse: 'Better is it to be of an
humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the
spoilt with the proud"
TIE New York Tribune, soon after Mr. Gree
ley's death, contained the following significant
words: "Although the clergy are beginning
to waken to the dangers that threaten the re-
public they have not had that education i'll
political and social science which makes them
strong to deal with the problems of the present
and the future. They may sound note of
warning, but cannot point out the ways of
avoidance or the means Of defense"
