family dog wouldn't particularly
care for, then the winds might
blow, the snow fall in immacu-

and patter on the window panes,
but this household would rest
secure and never bat an optic.
If unlimited plenty keeps up at

OFFICIAL PAPER OF IREGo COUNTY.
Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1907-05-09
SNUG SURPLUS
IN TREASURY

Uncle Sam will finish the fiscal year
on June 30th with very snug surplus.
At this time in 1905 the federal treas
ury contained surplus of only S5,-
0e0, 900, but now it is 500, 600, 900.
which amount will be increased dur
ing the next two months to about $780,
900, 600.
This shows wholesome state of
things, for, as General Grant once
pointed out, it is much easier to finance
a national surplus than a deficit. While
it must be gratifying to those in con-
troll of the government that the year
will close with such creditable show
ing, it is equally pleasing for the 9O,-
600, 600 of citizens to know that their
trade with the rest of the world is
growing at handsome rate. In the
first three quarters of the current fiscal
year the exports amounted TO 81, 432,-
900, 900, gain of $107, COO, 900 over the
like period of 1905. During the same
nine months imports rose 1852, 600, 600,
reaching the sum of 81, ,065, 900, 600
This expansion of s per cent. in ex-
ports and per cent. in imports means
that for the full year the nations for
eign commerce will greatly exceed the
three billion dollar mark which it
touched for the first time in 1906.
There is no basis for the assertion that
the last congress appropriated more
money than the governments resources
will amount to this year. In the sums
so appropriated was single item of
$212, 900, 900 for post offices nearly ev-
cry dollar of which will, of course, go
back into the treasury.

The Capitol investigation.

1t was quite obvious some time ago
thai the commission appointed to in
vestigate the charges of fraud IN con-
nection with the construction and fur
nishing of the State capitol would not
be able to conclude it's labors in time
to make report a, tie present ses-
sion. Tuesday the committee sent
TO the legislature a brief report, GER
tifving that the Investigation cannot
be completed by May 15 and asking
for an extension OF time and for per
mission so report 60 Governor Stuart,
1t was Sc voted.
The commission has succeeded iu dc
velcping some astounding facts. And
It's members declare Ihat much mora
is to follow. 1t has been shown that
contracts for the furnishing and deco.
ration of the building were apparently
awarded as the result Of extraordinary
paTtiality or collusioE between State
officials ard favored contractors. 1t
has beer shown 5aat much OF the ma
terial is not that called fo1 in the
specifications and that many things
for which Shs contractors were paid
literally 2ever re&ched the building.
It has also been shown that the profits
were enormous.
Although tie Investigation is far
from finished the people of the State
are entirely convinced that they have
beer victimiAed. Whether the action
of the building and grounds COME is
sion in accepting the furnishings at
the valuations put upon them by the
contractor. whether the action of tie
governor and the auditor general in
certifying that value had been receiv
ed will e2onerate the raseally contract
ors from legal responsibility, remains
20 be determined. But the fact of
their guilt has been establi6hed in the
eyes Of their victims and none of them
will ever recover popular favor.
Let tie commission proceed. Let it
unearth and expose every par5icle of
crookedness or faithlessness or indiff-
erenee or blindness which osn be
found And then, let us hope, the
robbers will come face to face with
the day of Judgment

HORSE STRICKEN
WITH PARALYSIS

Most people will regard it as very
with paralysis. Yet this is what oc-
CURED in Valley township yesterday,
the stricken animal belonging &c
Charles Kleeman of Strawberry Ridge
The horse, which was valued at over
5000, was being driven along near Mos
er's hotel, when without any warning
he dropped in the road Every effort
was made to get the horse to rise with
cut avail. In response to csil Veter-
marian j. o. Reed of this city drove
oTt to the spot where the horse lay.
He soon discovered that the animal
had sustained to a stroke.
At the veterinarians suggestion a
low sled, made of planks, was improvis-
ed and on this the helpless animal was
placed and drawn into the barn con-
neoted with the ho5el, where he will
be treated.
Paralysis in horse is not to be COM
pared with the same affliction in a
human being, as its origin generally
lies in other causes In most cases the
paralysis is superinduoed by some ex-
cess or irregularity of eating In many
cases a complete recovery is effected.
although in the case of Mr.. Kleeman q
horse the paralysis is very serious and
the outlook is not favorable

Before Justice Dalton.

The office of Justice of tie Peace
Dalton last evening was the scene of
an interesting hearing. Both complain
ant and defendant were foreigners and
the hearing was the usual characteris
tic affair, in which abounded eXtravag
ant gesticulatioRs and an endless chat
ter in an unknown tongue, which even
the services of an interpreter failed to
make clear.
The charge was assault and battery
and the complainant was very sure he
was badly injured. The Justice asked
him where the defendant struck him.
The question ON being repeated sever
al times brought forth the reply that
he didn't know where. Still he was
very sure that he was badly injured
and groaned with pain.
The interpreter got real busy while
the justice made determined effort
to get at the bottom of the affair and
finally the fact was established that no
blows were struck at all. The defend.
ant. however, had used very abusive
language and had gone SO far as to
wish that the complainant was dead.
This sayored so much of violence that
in effect it was regarded as an assault
by the foreigners and a warrant was
sworn out.
Finally the interpreter announced
that the two men were willing to set
tie, each paying half the costs A set
Element under the circumstances was
the logical sequence and the justice
acquiesced. The foreigners seemed per-
fectly satisfied with the outcome. as
each had made the other deliver ever
seme of his hard earned cash.

4 RHETORICAL TRIUMPH.
Sheridsn's Speech In Connection With
the Hastings Trial.


Answering a correspondent who ask
nection with the Warren Hastings
trial, the London News says:
THAT immense oratorical triumph
was certainly not reported in the notes
in question, for the Dude speech was
not delivered during the trial. Sheri-
dan pronounced 1t In the house of COM
mons in the year before the trial in
moving that the Dude charge should
be one of the articles of the impeach-
ment.
mo speech recorded in our history
ever had such reception. The entire
house and all in the galleries violated
the traditions of parliament and set
precedent that remains unfollowed by
clapping furiously and continuously.
Pitt, fully conscious of the extraor-
dinary state of excitement disclosed by
this breach of decorum, moved the ad-
journment on the unparalleled ground
that the minds of members were too
agitated to discuss the question with
coolness and judicially' Sheridan had
spoken for five hours and forty min
utes. No full report of the speech
exists. The best appeared in the Lon
don Chronicle for Feb. s, 1877.
"The fame of the speech was such
that when the trial came on ESQ was
gladly paid for a seat in the hall on
the day of Sheridan's speech as a
manager Of the impeachment. Macau'
lays account of that speech, which Is
both misleading and inaccurate in sew
eral respects, at least permits us to
know the fact that the speaker was
publicly embraced by Burke on resum-
ing his seat AT later stage in the
trial-six years later, in fact-Sheridan
delivered another speech which was
described by one of the auditors as an
extraordinary rhetorical triumph"

THINGS CHANGED
At HARRISBURG

With the induction into office this
week of Robert K. Young, of Tioga,
as auditor general, and Henry Houck,
of Lebanon, as secretary of internal
affairs, the transformation on capitol
hill is complete, and, with the exoep'
ton of Robert McAfee, of Allegheny,
and Insurance Commissioner David
Martin, of Philadelphia, none of the
conspicuous figures in the political
arena of recent years will remain.
1t used to be that all the prominent
State offices were regularly filled by
men who took the lead in the manage
ment of the Republican organization,
and at least were actively engaged III
party work and known to the people
chiefly as politicians. Today the gov
ernor is not politician. i'll the ordin-
ary acceptance of the term; the State
treasurer is q Democrat who was never
heard of in State politics until nomln-
ated for the Office; the incoming aud
itor general has participated in public
dudlTS OulN dS al AhShA0 0SAS
Der of the legislature, and the new
secretary of internal affairs has been
deputy superintendent of public in
struction, far from the whirl of politi-
cal strife. for nigh forty years.
Other instances are equally striking.
Samuel B. Rambo, recently appointed
superintendent of public grounds and
buildings, never did anything in poll
sizes but vote He was put into the
place because, as superintendent OF
construction for George f. Payne 81
Co., the capitol contractors, he was
thoroughly familiar with the physical
conditions of the building and capable
of giving the State the full benefit of
his practical knowledge of the con-
struction and care o. q great property
such as this. James Foust, whom Gov
arnor Stuart has placed at the head of
the dairy and food division of the de-
partment of agriculture, never held
Office except coroner of Blair county
and chief of police of Altoona until
appointed food inspector in the de-
partment Of which ne Is now the eX-
ecutive director. Thomas /. Crichton,
who is to be deputy auditor general,

White Hall Man Hurt.

The runaway occurred on Centre

back of his head and was also bruised
about the shoulders. He regained con-
seriousness in short time and after
his injuries were dressed was able to

TWO HOURS IN
THE LOCK UP

G. II. Lewis, of Mahoning township,
drove into town with team of horses
yesterday afternoon He got into an
alteration with a man on Mill street
and started off TO have him arrested
for assault and battery. He went about
the thing so awkwardly, however, that
instead of accomplishing his purpose
he fell into the tolls of the law him
self, spent some two hours in the lock
up and was mulcted in fine and costs
to the amount of seven dollars
About five O'Clock last evening just
as Chief Mincemoyer had entered his
apartments in City hall for supper,
Lewis, arrayed in blue blouse and ov-
erals, appeared at the door and de-
manded that the chief Immediately
proceed down the street and arrest the
man, whom he designated
The chief f-of- police informed him
that, under such circumstances. he
would have TO procure a warrant be-
fore an arrest could be made and the
officer described the location of each
of the Justices offices Lewis went
down stairs but instead of proceeding
to the justice he entered upon a loud
and merciless TRADE against the chief
of-police, in which there was plenty
of obscenity and profanity. Chief
Mincemoyer heard the noise from city
hall and hurrying down found Lewis
on the east side of the street.
In his Indignation the man flung his
money down upon the pavement (but
picked it up again); then, with the
lofty air of tragedian, he flung his
toil-stained handkerchief upon the
sidewalk and in language that was
anything but choice and modest de-
clared, in effect, that he could van
quish the chief of police of Danville
At this juncture he spied the chief
and picking up his handkerchief gal
lantly dashed into confectionery
store near by for refuge. The chief
followed him into the store and a des-
perate struggle ensued, in which the
officer succeeded ia placing the nip
pers on Lewis.
The latter still resisting more or
less, was landed in the lookup whence,
at 80 he was taken to the Office of
Justice Oglesby. where he was arraign-
ed for acting in & loud, disorderly
and indecent manner p"
He protested against the arrest and
said he couldn't see any use in paving
priDcely salary to a chief police
who would refuse to make an arrest
when he was told to DO so. The swear
ing out of a warrant was piece of
formaiity that he chose to regard as
unimportant and he waved it aside.
The justice acquainted him with
the penalty, fine of five dollars for
the borough and two dollars cost ad-
ditional. Lewis demurred at first, but
when he learned that it was either fine
and costs or five DAYS in the Lookup
he handed over the coin.
