nov. I)Ocktrys exhibit OF the state IL
%nances, ns boiled down by State Auditor Al
len from the still invisible re-
DiScRHPAN- port of the outside experts,
CibS CON- admits that there are dis
|ESSED. crepancies in the bookkeep-
ing since the Republicans
retired from power in Missouri on January /,
1871. The books are out of balance. This
primary aud vital fact is no longer denied.
1t now remains to thoroughly a~nalyze the
various discrepancies, acknowledged and I'M
acknowledged, and that work will be pressed
until the absolute truth is obtained. The
people of Missouri want the whole story and
the exact fig Tres, and are determined to
have them. All the errors which Gov. Dock
cry notes have been carried forward on the
books without observation, or ut least moth
ing has been said about them until the in
vestigation of the published reports of Dem
ocratic state auditors was begun by the
GLoBA-DEMoCRAT. 1t was the duty of
Democratic officials on taking control of the
affairs of the state to assure them
selves that the books were in balance. MI
mcrous mistakes are now admitted that have
escaped scrunity until the present time, and
how many more exist only n continued vigil
liant search will reveal. \ generally loose
system of bookkeeping is also confessed.
The governors words are ''neyliyent book
Keeping" Who can tell what sins that
form OF incompetency could cover?

statement fails to touch some exceedingly
important points and to meet certain serious
charge. We do not find any statement of
the true interest earned bv the bonded debt
since January |, 1871, rs compared with the
amount Of interest paid thereon. We figur-
cd, from the published reports of Democrat
ic state auditors, that too much interest has
been paid by the immense sum of 81. 273, 100
and we are unable to find in the exhibit any
statement of the disposition of this amount.
We regrct that we can not find in the ex-
hibit amy explanation of how the reduction
OF bonded debt, as shown in the auditors
reports of the sinking fund, is short by ST.
O30,61l. We should be glad TO know
wherein our table, taken from the state au-
d'tor's reports, is wrong. Its figures are
specific and given year by year. The group
ing OF figures in the exhibit from jefferson
City does not clear up the sinking fund dis
crepancy rs revealed in the auditors reports.
Especial do we regret the failure in the
governors exhibit to give the amount of
state bonds cancelled TO offset the issue of
4sn
certificates of Indebtedness amounting to
81, 392, $40. The amount of the cancella-
ton of bonds should correspond with The is
sues of certificates, and has been said by
Democratic newspaper organs to do so.

Animals i'm cable

George s. Hillman. in the Atlantic.
Every one will recall the Aesopic story
of the lion and the mouse: how the life of
the mighty monarch was saved by the
small creature whom he had once spared.
To our recognition In this story Of a truth
universal in it's human application is due,
almost entirely, our interest in the mouse
and the lion. In our eyes they are not q
mouse and a lion, but two men teaching
the lessons that the mighty shall be hum
bled, that nothing is too insignificant to be
of some service, and that it is good to cast
bread upon the waters. We do not stop
To consider whether a lion understands tine
mouse language. or whether a mouse is
given to gratitude. They are merely con-
venient forms, essentially human, and they
show animal characteristics only very sec
ondarily, when at all. In the Indian tales
where animals figure as chief characters
the method is the same, though there Is
often the added purpose of doctrinal in
struction, feasible because of the Bud
dhistic belief in the transmigration of
mems souls into the bodies of beasts. The
Bible shows a similar use. and perhaps in
all literature there is not a nobler instance
of the introduction of animals to teach
ethical truth than is to be found in the
parable of the lost sheep.

CARNEGIE's GREATEST GIFT.
Comments of BishOp Potter, Seth Low
and Other New

NEW YORK, March 15.-Discussing the
conditional offer of Andrew Carnegie to
give S., 100000 for a system of public libraries
in New York city. Bishop Potter is quoted.
in the World, as saying: MIR. Carnegie
must be credited with having performed
a most noble deed in making such an of
fer to the city. The least the city can
do is TO provide the sites for the proposed
branch libraries. 1t is by such deeds as
this by Mr.. Carnegie that a Nation is up
lifted"
Seth Low said: such a stupendous and
magnificent gift marks an epoch in philan-
thropy. Mr.. Carnegie is indeed setting a
swift pace for philanthropists. 1t is diff
fcult TO conceive how the money could be
better spent than in a library. The edu-
cational influence of such a library system
as he proposes cannot fail to be very great.
The city authorities should meet Mr.. Car
negie at least half way"
Edward NJ. Shepard: Mr.. Carnegie's
gifts go far toward relieving that diff
ficult problem: How the rich man can give
money without corrupting the recipient.
The requirements of self-denying co-opera-
ton by the beneficiary seems to me the
most admirable feature of this marvellous
and noble gift"
DIR. c. II. Parkhurst: This is a fine
specimen of judicious benefcence."
Controller Coler announced to-day that
the gift of Andrew Carnegie to- New York
city of IS. 10000 for public libraries will be
accepted by the city.

BOERS in CONFERENCE
GEN. BOTHA'S PROPOSE
TION TO SURRENDER.
Hoping De Wet Will BE
Killed i'm Action, Rather Than Ac-
ccpt Lord k.tchener's Terms.

LONDON, March ia special dispatch
from Durham, Natal, says the Boer COM
manders are holding a meeting at Peters
burg, in northern Transvaal, to discuss the
position and the ACCESSIBILITY of a continual
ton of the war. Whatever the result of the
peace negotiations between General Kitch-
ener and General Botha, it is tolerably
certain that the rumors of the inclusion of
General De Wet in any form of amnesty
are not based upon fact. General Kitch-
ener's personal views of the Boer leader are
not known in Pail Mall, but if the War
Office is consulted the officials there would
rather see De Wet killed in action than
taken alive. One of the officials RESPONSE
BILE for the direction of the affairs of the
army said: Il cannot see how Kitchener
can possibly accept De Vets surrender. If
he ever gets him he will be obliged to try
him for his recent alleged murders of pris-
oners. / have no doubt that the verdict of
either a military or civil court would be
death, and if such a verdict was carried
out there would be a horrible howl on the
continent and in America. And. indeed. one
would be sorry to see such a brave fighter
meet such an end. Therefore. We can only
hope De Wet will either be let out of the
country or shot in battle"
A dispatch from General Kitchener, dated
Pretoria, March 10, announces that the no
torious Abel Erasmus, of Lydenburg, has
been brought in, with his family, by Col.
Parke's column.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says the government has

Cape Town to prohibit colored persons from

A special dispatch from Standerton says
the Beers are massing at the stations on
the Delagoa line, and the leaders are con-
ferring daily at each station, and also at
Petersburg. Nothing has TRANSFERRED, ex-
cept that the fate OF the Beers who have
surrendered is one of the subjects Of dis
cussion.

WANT
British Sugar Reiners Urging a COun-
tervailing Duty.

LONDON, March 16.-While it is now
generally understood that the new budget
will include a tax on sugar as already fore
casted by the Associated Press this by no
means satisfied the influential private COM
mittee of the members OF the House Of
Commons which is working. in the British
refiners' interest. This committee is still
exerting much pressure on the government
to bring about the introduction of a coun-
tervailing duty in addition to the half penny
per pound tax that reports say will be
imposed on sugar. While the government
has not yet agreed to the countervailing
duty, a reporter of the Associated Press
was informed by a member of the commit
tee referred to that the committee has
hopes of bringing the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, to it's
way of thinking. The present agitation in
France over the same subject is being
CLOSELY watched and is proving a powerful
for the British refiners.

BRUTE'S LIFE IN DANGER.
Threatened with Lynching for As
saulting a Young Girl.

PONTIAC, Ill, March 1~6.-Charged with
criminally assaulting Mamie Kruz, the thir-
teen-year-old daughter of a rich farmer liv-
ing near Fairbury, a young white man,
name unknown at present, may be lynched
before morning. When he was brought
here tonight from Lexington there was a
mob Of five hundred men and boys in the
streets crying Hang him. Lynch him."
Kill the brutei' The assault was COM
mitted near Fairbury to-day, the little
he was pursued by a dozen farmers, headed
by the girls father, who had been attracted
by his daughters loud cries for help. Near
Lexington the fugitive abandoned his bug
gy and boarded a fast freight. at Lexing-
ton he was pulled out of a freight car by
Lawson and was tonight
