a Eindication, came TO Tuscogee a few
days ago in search OF his wife and daugh-
ter. whom he has not seen since he fed

Near Clsremore. tosn in the Chero-
kee Nation, a hunter who knew the two

isherfolk. The father came back TO Tus-
cogee to wait for the girls return.
Arnold belonged TO a good family in
Cincinnati. He was married in 1880 TO
Evelyn Paget, the daughter of a banker.
A daughter was born in November, 1881.
The night that tie child was born Aronld,

across the river to Covington, KY, TO the
bedside OF sne dying president of the in
stitution. On his way he met Charles
Meade, who had been an usher at his wed
ding. Meade invited him to take drink.
From the moment the liquor passed his
lips Arnold remembered nothing until he
awoke, stiff and sore, in a cell of the Gov
ington prison. He had been found hold
ing a revolver over the dead body of a
policeman.
At the preliminary examination Meade,
vi n apparent reluctance, testified that
Arnold murdered the policeman. Arnold
WAS indicted for murder, but before the
trial managed 10 make his escaqe. Large
rewards were offered for his capture. With
the police hot on his trail he shipped on
a whaling vessel. He met little success,
but for safety remained on vessels in Arc

WILMINGTON, Del. Dec 1.-THE cor
GUpt use OF vast sums of money TO inffu-
ence elections In Delaware has become
problem which gives pause even to the
politicians. During the campaign just
closed the work of the corruptioniSts
reached its climax in the appalling Use
Of money Old-time politicians OF this city
stood aghast at the manner in which
Doodle invaded this county. which had
been comparatively free from its use The
evil was as bad here, taking many forms.
as it has been in the lower counties which
for decade have been assailed by forces
of corruption that make the Maryland
danger of the same kind seem insignid-
cant The worst part Of the situation is
that absolutely no hope is held out CT
anything better in the future. Delaware
knows by bitter experience that laws
tending to suppress the use of money at
the polls are practically Of no avail.
Corruption had reached such an extent
that the Constitutional Convention of 1897
devoted much of its time toward deyislng
d scheme 20 stamp IL out Some OF the
ablest men in the State we're in that con-
yention Hon. Edward G. Bradford, Pow

Jury convictions for political offences
had been rare in this State. and SO Judge
Bradford and his colleagues decided that
such offences hereafter should be tried BY
the bench and not by jury. Still further

lions If possible. the convention. fearful
that the Addieks Republicans would de-

bribery IN Delaware had been settled.
Everyone patiently waited developments.
A negro preacher IN Kent county was
found giving a dollar to another negro on
which to register. The preacher was
convicted and sent TO jail for six months.
And thfs is the total of convictions under
the law.
After the election two years ago DR..
Thomas c. Moore and several of his Ad-
dicks Republican colleagues were arrest
ed and charged with using money lie
gaIly at the registration. Then big le-
sal battle began. H, n. Ward, Mr. Ad-

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.

Deadwood Times
The developments in the Cuban postal
scandal, which are growing more serious
ana d1screditable the more the subject is
probed, should serve to put a stop to the
cant that is made to do service as argu-
ment by some of the more hysterical
champions of colonial policy The man
agement Of island possessions Is a very
olf1lcult problem, but when these difficult
ties have been pointed out they have
been met by the SNUG assertion that the
United States is great enough and pure
enough tc make success of whatever it
may undertake. In the Cuban postal de-
faIcation we have reaped the natural re-
suits OF the policy which contents itself
with self-satisfied announcement of the
purity of the intentions of the nation,
while leaving the actual work of admin
lstration to carpetbaggers who owe their
appointments to political influence. The
Havana defalcation has already done
much to bring us into discredit among
the Cubans. Unless there is a radical
change of system in dealing with island
dependencies other scandals inevitably
must follow. Congress has already paved
the way for scandal in Porto Rico by pro-
F1ding for the disposition of all fran
chises in the island under a carpetbag
regime The selection of American spoils

governing newly acquired islands can

DIR. oHAGE,s GIET.

No words which the Globe might
print could overstate the obligation which
the city and its people are under to DR..
Justus Ohage. The city has not been es-
pecially fortunate, If it has been fortunate
at all, in the public spirit displayed by
those of its citizens whose accumulation
Of wealth within its doors might have
carried with it some sense of civic obli-
cation. The city has got along very well.
but it has not been through any special
interest manifested in its welfare by ia
vored individuals. What it is and what
1t represents, it is and represents as the
result of the devotion of It's common.
everyday residents who go about their
business and make their daily living for
themselves and their families, content
with the lot which befalls most of their
neighbors.
1t is because of these things and be-
cause the city owes so little TO individ-
uals, that the sense of public obligation
toward DR.. Ohage ought to be very deep.
He had nothing to gain. Only a sense of
devotion to the city and its people could
have Influenced him. His reward, if it
is to come, must come in the expression
Of the public gratitude. That is a reward
which he is surely entitled to. 1t is a re-
ward on which the spirit of the time sets
very little store. But it evidently more
than suff1ces for Dr. Ohage. He has the
consciousness of having, as he says, done
his duty. Men of his kind-too often re-
garded as foolish by wise folk-usuaIlv
content themselves with this much.
However DR.. Ohage may feel about this
splendid thing which he has done for the
city, DIR. Ohage's friends will surely de-
rive Infinite pleasure in the knowledge
that while the voice of the silent and
usually uninfiuential mass, whom in this
transaction he has served best is rarely
heard, all experience, and, indeed, all his
tory show that they are never migrate
full, but that they have always remem-
bered, generation after generation, those
who have done or sacrificed aught in their
behalf. And there are others. who NAV
not be numbered among them. who feel
toward Dr. Ohage much more than they
will ever have a chance to give expression

AS a municipality St Paul ought to be

ton they are semi barbarous. in the de-
partment of public hygiene THEY are but
just emerging from sheer barbarism. The
fact that in what DR.. Ohage and those
who have aided him in his undertaking
