United States bonds were taher
from the State treasury, converted
into cash and in their place was de-
posted certificates of the indebted
ness OF Missouri's taxpayers. The
bonds were sold for 1,913. $50.
and thereby the tax payers Of the
State lost d cool -, 900, 600, in
round numbers.
In addition to the United States
bonds the State owned 5000, coo
stock in the Missouri State bank.
which was converted into that
muchcash and turned into the
State school fund. BY those trans
actions the taxpayers Of the State
lost about -, Coo, 900 then, and be-
sides that, have been paying six

Will BE Prosecuted.

The grand jury last Saturday re-
turned two indictments against
County Clerk VIM. A. Fletcher.
Both indictments charge cmbczzlc-
ment. In one instance Mr.. flctcll
CT is indicted as county clerk, and
in the other as agent for Iron coia-
ty, wherein he had been empower
ed to make some special collections
of!lthe school fund. Both inciict
ments are based Oh discoveries
made by the County Court last De
ccmber, when, on investigation the
County Clerk was found to have
failed to account for about $500
belonging to the school funds Of
the county. These monies, how
ever, have since been paid over tc
the Comfy Treasurer by the Clerk,
.lr. Fletcher was alraignc,l be
fore Judge Doaline on the two in
dictmcnts Saturday morning, lie
gave bond in each case fox $1,000
for his appearance at the next
term Of Circuit Conrt in October,
with Mann Ringo and Anton Roch-
ry as suretics, Tho defendant has

The only way to discover the
truth of the condition Of the State :
affairs under the long term Of Dem
ocratic management is to defeat
the party ut the next election.
eTurn the rascals OUT and then
investigate. Honesty does not shun
investigation, yet whenever move
is made that calls FOR an official
scrutiny of tho States finances it is
promptly sat down upon by our
Democratic legislators. The long
stretch Of power the party has en-
loved in Missouri has bred its con-
tempt Of the people and inspired
it with the belief that whatever
iniquitics are committed in The
name Of Democracy will be readily
condoned and forgiven. The old
Democratic cry that the Repubii-
cans were dishonest when the latter
were in power in the State quar-
ter of century ago should no
longer be allowed to veil the un-
blushing abuse of public confidence
that is going on in jefferson City
today. We are more concerned
in the pll.ndoring Of the State rev
enues Of the present time than we
arc in the plundering alleged tc
have occurred sometime beyond
the memory Of the present genera
tion. In the past thirty years tho
Ausean stables Of our State gov
ernmcnt have become exceedingly
foul and need another thorough
cleaning and political disinfection.
