U. s. TREASURY SHORT $4,000

Auditing Of Dead Mans Accounts
Brings Discrepancies to Light.
Washington. July lN-lt was stated
al the treasury department that an in
vestieation recently concluded Of the
accounts OF the late Major George \.
Bartlett. discussing officer Of the treas-
urv department. shows a shortage ap-
proximating S33. 900 About $4,000 %.
this amount. however is said TO have
been innocently paid out on fraudn-
lent vouchers presented by James W.
Rovd. a clerk I'm tho Marine Hospital
service. who in September last was ar
rested and is now in jail pending his
trial for misappropriating government
funds.
Although Bartlett was technically re-
sponsible for payments on Boyd $
fraudulent vouchers. the shortage in his
own Office will probably not exceed
s19.O 600 The treasury officials have no
means Of knowing just how long this
shortage has been standing. but are in
cllned TO the opinion that comparative
w small amounts have been taken from
time TO time covering a period of sew
cral years.

SIGNIFICANT

Now that the discussion OF the
next presidential campaign is rag
inc in all OF the newspapers utter
ances such as the following from the
New York Sun carry more than
usual significance. This leading
New York daily says.
The Sun Graves permission to pre-
sent its humble service to the SUI
preme powers at Oyster Bay. to
Messrs. Platt and Depew. to the new
and austere hierarchy OF Odell and
associates. To one Frank Wayland
Higgins, the putative governor OF
the State of New York. and to all
the soberminded aud self-respecting
Republicans to whose confidence 1t
can appeal. and. with all the del
erence and respect, submit:
The next governor OF the state OF
New York will be "A Democrat.
The next governor of the state OF
New York will be the next President
of the United States.
Coming at this particular time,
when William Jennings Bryan's po-
litical star is once more in the as
cendancy, there is something pecu-
liarly interesting in the Sun 5 proPh-
esy. Who will be the next COVER
nor of New York? That is the first
question which presents itself and
the most natural one He may be a
Democrat. but will he be a Demo-
crat who can lead his party to ma
tional victory? TO do this, he must
be man Of marked personality,
one who can draw around him the
contending elements in the Demo-
cratic party No ordinary man can
do this. Judge Gaynor, prominently
mentioned az the next Democratic
nominee for governor OF New York,
can't do it. because there is nothing
in Judge Gaynor to inspire enthusl-
assn. He would be too much like
Judge Parker. Mr.. Hearst can't do
it, because he is an impossibility OF
the worst description, and yet there
is a chance that he may be the next
governor of the Empire State. The
Suns prediction would be decidedly
more interesting if that well in
formed newspaper were able to tell
us the name of the man who will
lead the Democratic ticket in New
York this fall The campaign there
may develop another Cleveland, but
it probably will not.

MILEAGE LAW INVALID
2.Cent Rate Act Declared Unconstitutional

In the case OF The Commonwealth W.
The Is. & O. Railway, in the Corporation
Court of Stanton on demurrer, Judg-
Holt held that the Churchman twO-cent
mileage bill was unconstitutional, and
dismissed the proceedings.
All the exceptions were ovcrruled ex-
cept the sixth, which was sustained on
the ground that the twO-cent mileage
rate was not a general rate aud did not
apply to the general public and therefore
was contrary to the fourteenth amend
ment to the United States Constitution.
The contention made by the railroad
was az follows:
"The act in question il unconstitu-
tional, in that it discriminates in favor
of parties able to buy tickets at whole
sale rates and against persons travelling
under the ordinary legally established
rates"

JEROME IN GEORGIA

Mr.. Jerome, district attorney OF
NV York. in addressing the lower
branch Of the Georgia legislature ON
July 10th. said that there Is little
difference in the ways of thinking
and doing between the North and
South. and that whatever differences
and misunderstanding had existed
ilrecent years had leone largely from
sensational writer's. ~ MIR. Jerome
s,oke the truth, but whether from
his heart or for political effect, we do
not know: Immediately afterwards,
h ,wever. he was heralded by the
Georria Democrats rs suitable
running mate with Governor Folk.
of Missouri. ON the national Demo
cratic ticket in 1908. Wewill assume,
however. that he was sincere IN ms
expressions. because all well-iniormed
and fairminded people at the North
recognize the unity OF this great
country and the righteous reasons
which have forced Inc Southern peo-
ple To remain solid in their political
faith, and it is especially true that
whatever MISUNDERSTANDING have
existed in recent years have been the
result of the effort OF sensational
writer's. Here is a fresh sample from
the Philadelphia North American
which was written only day or
two before Mr.. Jerome made his
Georgia speech:
There can be no large Roadway
while the South is solid Tor the
Democracy and occupied 10y fantaS-
tic fears of the negro. Nobody any
where wants to force race equality
ON the Southerners and nobody
could do it if such purpose We're en-
tertained. The apprchenslonS oil that
catastrophe are the grOtcSque and
ridiculous llltTItdlCt 'l wv 'i'''''
lust before and Just after the war.
The spectacle is afforded of a high
spirited. bright-witted and exceed
ingly capable people. who do not
have "A chance to keep mp with the
national procession because they
have bound themselves hand and
foot to dead issues.
1t is better to ignore such Infamous
ISLANDERS a. these, because 1t does
not lead to "a better understanding
to give them such prominence as
discussion affords. and in addition.
such dense ignorance or blind malice
as animates these articles cannot be
corrected or removed, but this we
will say. that there are thousands OF
Northern men who have made their
homes in the South who are ready
and willing to nail such ISLANDERS as
falsehoods. as are the native born
