the wilkesbarre Record.

From the Wilkesbarre Record.
Whatever may be the result of the
Quay trial, one thing that has hereto
fore been unexplained has been made
perfectly clear, viz: The reason for
keeping large balances of state funds
in favored banks while the appropra-
tions to the public schools and charit-
able institutions, and the personal
property tax due the counties, remained
unpaid. The books of the Peoples bank
show that one state treasurer received
more than 100000 from that bank as
interest on state funds, and he only
received portion of the interest, at
that. Other state treasurerS also re-
ceived large Sums as interest. 1t would
be interesting to know how many more
of the banks that held large deposits
of the state funds paid interest to the
state treasurers and other politicians
The Peoples could pay 100000. There
were half a dozen other banks that had
state funds in sums nearly AZ large,
and if all of them were made to sweat
in the same proportion sum running
high up into the hundreds of thousands
must have been gathered in by the
state treasury ring during the past ten
or twelve years.
The late Treasurer Haywood, as we'll
as his predecessors, constantly kept
anywhere from So 900, 900 to 100000
in favored banks, usually in sums rang
ing from 100000 to 5000 900. Those
who felt sufficiently interested in the
matter to examine the statements
periodically published by the state treas
urer probably wondered why the sums
on deposit in some half dozen banks
remained practically stationary from
one year to another. The Peoples bank
of Philadelphia was one of them, and it
had for years from $500, 900 to 100000
and even though school districts were
compelled to borrow money at the rate
of 8 per cent, because they could not
get the state appropriation, the half
million or more in the Peoples bank
remained undisturbed. The bank was
paying interest on the money. too, but
not cent of it went into the state
treasury: it was divided up among the
members of the treasury ring, except
when the states money was loaned tC
them, without interest, to speculate
with.
Yes, the revelations made by the
books of the Peoples bank show very
clearly and concusively why Schoo
and other appropriations remained IN
paid for months, and sometimes year
after they were due. The banks tina
had the money were paying interest OF
it for the personal enrichment of stat
treasurers and members of the treasur,
ring. For years it was very general,
vogue in the treasury department. Mr.
Darlington, the president of the defunc
Chester Trust Company, threw som
light on the subject, but it rename
for the books Of the collapsed People
bank of Philadelphia to lay bear th
infamous methods that have bee
practiced in all their enormity. Thi
has doubtless been going on for quar-
ter of century, but did not reach it
fullest proportions of rottenneSs unit
the present Quay machine developed il
And now the exposure has come, as wa
certain it would, sooner or later. Th
Quay trial will accomplish something i
the direction Of reform.

oueer Beliefs About Seven.

So numerous are the queer beliefs
concerning the sumber seven that a
narrative of them all would fill a vol
ume, but we may mention a few Of
them. From the very earliest ages the
seven great planets were known and
ruled this world and the jewellers in
il, and their number entered into ev-
cry conceivable matter that concerned
man. There are seven days in the
week, seven holes in the head fer the
master stars are seven" seveE ages
both for man and the world in which
he lives. There were seven material
heavens, and in the under world de-
scribed by Dante the great pagan dead
who were not good enough for heaven
or bad enough for hell reposed in a
seven-walled and seven-gaited city.
There are seven colors in the spectrum
and seven notes in the diatonic octave,
and the leading" note Of the scale is
the seventh. BE IL noted that the sew
enth son is not always gifted with
benefcent powers. In Portugal he is
believed to be subject to the pow
ers of darkness and to be compelled
every Saturday evening to assume the
likeness OF an ass.

Americans Not to Blame.

Without any purpose to start a flood
of recrimination the American mem
bers of the high Canadian commission
feel that they have not been to blame
for the failure to reach an agreement,
but that they are justified in the state
ment that they have made concession
that better results may attend fur
Their conference of the joint body next
summer. The officials at Washington
say the Americans side have made their
last concession, and that the Canadians
cannot expect any better terms here
after than they have recently refused.

in connection with the proposed i'm

States that a special appropriation
would be asked in his coming report
to congress for the investigation Of
the bees of the world, and a swarm
of the big Philippine honey-makera
would be brought to America as soon
as the question of their value and the
possibility of their acclimation have
been fully determined. There will also
be an appropriation requested for the
study of the agriculture and kindred

tory of the United States, and even

Not a Single Execution in the Late War

In reaching the decision to recon-
mend long term of Imprisonment in
the case of a private in an Alabama
regiment, who had killed a man in an
ARRAY, Judge Advocate Liber has com
pleted a remarkable record disposing
of the last of the capital cases that
had come before his department for re-
view without in any single case impos-
ing the death penalty. Thus, the war
has passed without the execution of a
single soldier on account of military
crimes. This is believed to be without
parallel in history. There were crimes
committed, but they lacked malice or
generalization and there were no de
sertions because of cowardice or
treachery
