TIE family name of the ruling
royal house Of Great Britain is
Guelph The original name in
German was Welt, but in the
course of medieval history it re-,
c-ived an Italian variation into
Guelph. The family name of
Prince Albert of SAKE Coburg-
Gothe, whom the queen married
in 1910, WAS Wetlip. If the
queen, before she came to the
throne, had laid aside the style
of royalty and had been introduced
like common folks, she would
have been Miss 'Drina Guelph,
for before she became queen she
was called among her own family
by the diminutive of Alexandria.
she having been thristened
Victoria Alexandria,. After mar
riage she was, in the style of
private life, Mrs. Albert Wetlin.

IT will be we'll to bear in mind
that our Legislative assembly, that
is making such play to the dear
people just now about economy, is
at the same time running up a
clerk hire bill amounting to almost
$500 per day. By the time the
members draw their per diem little
will be left for appropriation bills,
Or other things of such simplicity
that republican state admins

SHOOTER and slower with the
years are the marches Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The re-
port of the adjutant general of the
organization reveals an increase
in the death rate which comes as a
shock after the brave show which
patriotic parades have made at the
annualencampments Since 1890,
the roster has been reduced from
4OO, 4S9 to 276,662. In other
words, division, l23,S27 strong,
has marched across the river into
the uncenquered country. A regi-
ment of 1000 a month helps to
REINFORCE tie division. Taps are
being sounded with a frequency
that will .oon make theirreverbera-
tious heard every half hour in
some portion Of. this country.
This decrease of the G. A. r. is be-
coming more pronounced every
year. In Illinois alone, 3 per cent
of the old soldiers left "the glory
and the dream" behind them. AL
ready many posts have been COM
PEELED to give up their charters
owing to the fact that they have
fallen below the minimum pre-.
scribed by the constitution of the
order. But few more years and
the remnant of those who folio we'd
the Union flag through the civil
war will be mere handful.

The fifty-sixth congress will
make stunning record for pro-
figacy in expenditure. At its first
session it appropriated $7l0,050,.
1862. The estimated appropriation
for the present session aggregates
$743, 1874, 8O4, not including defci-
eneies of $50, 100000 which already
exist and deficiepcies of SIC, GOO, 900
which are likely to occur. The
total expenditures will amount, on
this basis, to 81, 493, $685. 66. In
addition the ship subsidy bill and

A GANG OF THIEVES.


The committee appointed by
the legislature to investigate the
affairs of the state officers, both
past and present are reported to
have unearthed quite a number of
rich finds and which strip the
incumbents of the office of tho
halo of glory that in the past has
hung upon their person III grace
full folds with the gauzy aimsiness
of a straw hat and pair of bath
ing trunks. Enough has been
discovered to make it thoroughly
warm and interesting for several
of the ex-state officials.
Rnmors of irregularities have
been heard for some time aud the
reason of the legislature appoint
ing committee to investigate was
to ascertain as to the truth in
these reports, which have it that
of late years it has become an un-
written law for outgoing officials
to grab everything movable when
leaving the state capitol to resume
private life. The articles of
personal property which have
followed them off range ell the
way from ceuches to cuspidores,
and from typewriters to check
boohs. Not the least among the
articles accounts books, which are
necessary for a complete account
ing and checking up of some of
the Offices. Some of the ex-o&cers
have teen cited to appear before
the committee to explain, while
others have been notified to return
certain articles and thereby save
themselves "whole lot of bother"
The committee in it's report to
the senate and house recommends
the reduction of clerkships in
nearly every department and
roasts the e1-secretary of state for
the unbusiness like management
of state money matters, showing
that he failed to keep a book of
supplies as required by law, or to
keep the records as provided by
Section 81 of the code. There is
found to be no record If the
emergency commission, which has
had state funds at it's disposal,
except upon sheets Of letter paper.
State officers should be requil ed,
in the opinion of}he committee, to
make their reports in duplicate.
The salaries of the resident off.
GERS of the insane asylum should
be paid from the appropriation
fund of that institution instead of
from the general fund. The state
auditors report as printed is
found Co be unreliable and in bal
form. The items Of expense
should be grouped to show the
expenses of every Office and de-
partment. Claims against the
state should be verified by oath
which has not been done in the
majority of cases. The cost of
the state examiners Office for the
last biennial period is found to
have been $4,000, with AL income
of fees of $l,649. The department
is recommended for reorganiza-
tion SO IS to make it less ex-
pensive to the state. Resulting
from the committees investiga-
tons Attorney General Comstock
has been ordered to bring suit
against ex-State Auditor Hannum
for the recovery of the value of
warrants aggregating $1,000,
issued on the last day of his term
under the law providing for the
payment Of expenses of adjusting
taxes with counties for which, it
is claimed, there was no legal
authority.
