At the elegantly appointed home oi
Miss Hope Turner the Friday After

yesterday 10y a "Thimble Party" in
which both social intercourse and fem

highly satisfactory manner to the

Light refreshments with which the

The Cambridge Republican Pres.

The Cambridge Republican Press
talks good sense in the following:
when we hear a man slandering
some girl whom he thinks may have
strayed from the path of virtue we feel
like asking him to recall some acts of
his life. Because a girl is jolly and
pleasant to her acouaintances is no
reason why she should be estimated as
one of the kind that prefers darkness
rather than light. Even if man does
think so it is unwise and wicked to
mention it. Many an innocent girl re-
ceives the ostracism of society by peo-
pie talking where they have no busi-
ness. When a man has no good word
to say of girls, or of any one else, he
ought to keep the Derambulating gab
oratorium he calls his mouth. shut"
1t might be added that the above is
likewise applicable to some pretended
newspapers, and it is not necessary to
go a thousand miles from Marietta to
locate at least one of that class.

THE NEXT SENATE.

All but six seats in the next Senate
have been filled. Of the eightyfour
Senators chosen fifty are Republicans,
counting Kyle, of South Dakota. and
Stewart, of Nevada. Twenty-seven
are straight Democrats, including Du.
bois, Of Idaho; four are Populists,
while three who were elected as Re-
publicans-Teller, of Colorado; Well
ington, of Maryland, and Jones, of Ne
vada-are not acting with their party.
AS figures stand the Republican Sena-
tors number fifty. the combined oppo-
sition thirty-fOur, majority of six
teen. The seats untitled are two in
Delaware, two in Nebraska and one
each in Oregon and Montana. Five of
this number should be Republican, for
the decision rests with Legislatures in
which there is a Republican majority.
Should ell be filled in accordance with
the verdict of voters the Republican
majority over the opposition in the
next Senate will be twenty.
In the Senate of the Fifty-Seventh
Congress the Republicans will have
within five of a two-thirds membership
if Delaware, Nebraska and Oregon full
fill the rightful expectation of the ma
jority as declared last November. Del
aware is a sort of Chinese puzzle tc
Republicans elsewhere. The state is
suffering from a peculiar form OF poll
tical paralysis and the malady con.
tinues year after year. 1t might be
called the Addicks catalepsy for thC
Republicans seem unable to move hanC
or foot when that individual waves his

VIII Come to Marietta Il Satisfactory Ar
rangements Can be Made.

If satisfactory arrangements can be
consummated there ils a possibility Of
Gus Rubin the akron Giant" ap-
pearing in Marietta at the Auditorium
the night after his fight with Jeffries
at the Saengerfest Hall in Cincinnati
Mr.. Fred Josephy, representing parties
in Cincipn'+' who handle the business
affairs OF the = g fellow. is here, and If
he can secure suitable Inducements
Rubin will be seen at the Auditorium
in a six round bout with his sparring
partner Denver Ed Martin, the black
giant, who Is matched with Frank
Childs for the preliminary bout at the
big fight on the 18th.
Mr.. Josephy will consult with Man
ager Luchs and If the Inducements are
sufficient Marietta will have an oppor :.
tunity of seeing in action one of the
greatest fighters of the day. It is use
less to state that if Rubin. is secured
the Auditorium would not be suffic-
lent to hold the throng that would be
eager to pay tribute to he Ohio boy
who has been the hero of so many hard
fought battles in the ring. 1t is the
purpose of the parties interested to put
on the same night several features,
such as bag punching and wrestling
1t is hoped that the arrangements will
be made whereby the carnival will be
pulled off satisfactorily, with Rubin
as the star.

The amounts allowed him during hi.
ncumbency are as follows:

lOJdl. ssPlFtoOs'NO
This amount is for five and one half
years, as he has presented no bill for
his last six months; he Is probably
waiting for the price to go up before
he comes in.
The law does not fix the price for
this service, but says that County
Commissioners may allow reasonable
compensation for it. The result in
Patterson's case shows how successfully
| Commissioners may be worked into
making an unreasona'bly unrea enable
allowance.
We will stake our reputation as an
accountant upon the statement that
$25OO would have been a fair, reas-
enable and daremunerativea allowance for
this work for each year, but when the
people have such superior talent as the
late lamented Patterson they should
pay more for it and we will. therefore,
raise the price and agree that he, the
only, should have received $4,000 per
year for it.
At the high price we have fixed he
should have been allowed for the five
ane one-half years. s275.OO instead of
81 1880.
We therefore assert that Patterson
for his services under the Dow law
has drawn since March, 1895. from the
County Treasury the sum OF 81, 10000
that should never have been allowed
him.
This paper several years ago called
attention to this matter and expressed
our opinion about it, but the grind
continued to go on and the price has
grown.
While Pattersn's drawing of 81, ,160
from the County Treasury was strictly
legal made so by a subservient Board
Of County Commissioners. it was none
the less morally a robbery of the peo-
pei and the payment of something for
nothing.
What difference does it make to you
whether the taxes you have paid with
money earned in the sweat of your
brow is squandered under forms oflaw,
or taken from the safe at night by the
burglar with the crow bar, the jimmy
and the dynamite?
If the conscientious conscience of
Patterson would compel him to re-
turn the money. $1,160, he has drawn
from the treasury, it might not be nee
essary for him to file protest against
the payment of newspaper bills.
1t is, of course unpleasant for us to
write these things, but we have a
Christian duty to perform. The world
must be reformed and the best starting
place seems to be with sanctimonious,
self appointed and self satisfied re-
formers.
In view of the facts we have stated
we feel safe in asserting that Watch
Dog Pattersons protection of the peo-
pies money from himself is similar,
very similar, to the protection the
wolf shows to the lamb Times.

RATHER WARN.

In notice we had of the contro-
versy about the payment OF the bills
for publishing the Sheriff's election
proclamation, we referred TO the fact
that w. A. Patterson had filed pro-
test against their payment and prom
ised to have something to say about
how he had protected 10
the County Treasury from him
self. We will begin on this
subject today and give some his
tory inspired by what we find on the
County Commissioners Journal.
There are certain duties required of
the County Auditor in connection with
the LIQUOR tax; these duties consist of
sending out the blanks for the assess
ments, making tax duplicate after
they are returned, making settlements
on the duplicate and making reports to
the Auditor of State of the amount col
lected. 1
All of these things could be done by
a fair accountant in one day of actual
labor with time enough left to attend
prayer meeting in the evening.
Patterson seized upon the County
Auditors office in September, 1894, and
commenced drawing money under the
Dow tax allowance in March, 1896, the
first draw being, it was alleged, for
six months.
The amounts allowed him during his

SCANDALS SET
EUROPE ON EDGE
Marital Troubles Of Row
alties Disturb the
Rulers.

LONDON, Dec THE domestic infelici-
ties Of European royalties have never
come so prominently before the public as
have to-day the difficulties of Queen Will
helmina of the Netherlands, the dramatic
circumstances of which form one of the
chief topics of conversation.
The romantic halo surrounding the
young Queen and the keen interest taken
in her marriage only help to accentuate
public curiosity and sympathy. Moreover,
1t is realized that Hollands scandal may
have grave political consequences for
Europe and hence its developments are
those best fitted to judge incline to the
belief that it will all blow over for the
present there are grave apprehensions for
the future.
From personal point of view England
is more deeply concerned in the scandal
going on in Hesse, where one of Queen Vic
toria'S granddaughterS is on the verge OF
separation from her husband. This youth
ful marriage-the Grand Duchess of Hesse
was only Is when she exchanged her Brit
ish for Continental title-haS proved to be
one of the most unsatisfactory among all
believed, would have been reached before
this time had II not been for the late
Queen Victoria's imperious influence.
The Duke Of Edinburgh's other daugh-
ter, the Crown Princess of Roumania, ac-
cording to common report, also leads a
none too happy marital existence, though
recent rumors of an open rupture are met
with strenuous official denialS. However
no one in England would be surprised to
hear that she is figuring In role similar
to that Of her sister, the Grand Duchess
of Hesse.
Then there are scandals going on in the
courts at Belgrade and Lisbon, but these
have been so long before the public eye
as to need no comment.

.LABORIE MAKES
NO DISCLOSURE
Reasons for Rupture
With Dreyfus Are
Kept Secret.

PARIS, Dec, THE general expecta-
ton of sensational disclosures In Maitre
Labortes explanations of his rupture with
Dreyfus has thus far been disappointed.
as he announced that his lips are sealed
by professional secrecy from telling the
story of the actual breaking Of relations
with the Dreyfus family. His articles up
to now have taken the form Of a personal
polemic against Reinach and Bernard
Lazare, but they have gone to show how
wide is the breach between Dreyfus and
Reinach and the formers champion.
The friends Of both sides are pained to
read such letters as Lazare writes to
Laborie, in which, declining to reply to
certain illusions by the latter, he says:
''It Is unnecessary for me to help you
in throwing down your own statue. You
appear quite able to do the work your
SELF"
The anti-Dreyfusard press naturally ex-
ults over what they describe as a display
