whole cloth, in his own imagination
and without shadow of fact or evil
dence or actual knowledge to sup
port it, Senator Spencer is silent.
His silence is confession of malic-
ious falsehood for which he makes
no amends.
Senator Spencer is not alone in
circulating the statement about the
Presidents pledge to Rumania and
Serbia. Senator Wadsworth of New
York repeated it in speech deliver
ed Monday night and has taken no
notice of the Presidents denial. 1t Is
reiterated in Republican campaign
literature and the speeches of Repub-
lican spellbinders.
1t is one of many evidences of the
deliberate campaign of falsehood and
Misrepresentation of the President
and the League, designed to mislead
the voters, and there seems to be no
limit to mendacity in striving for that
end.

Tumulty's usurpation of the office ol
President-th is his own invention.

howl about the number of Govern
ment employees the Democrats have
put into service.
The Democratic administrations,
say the Repgblicans (and we believe
the cnarge is true,) employs $500
men in the Customs Service. These
men prevent smuggling and enforce
quarantine regulations, protect the
people of this country from conta-
gious diseases from abroad and pre-
vent persons from defrauding the
Government.
The Treasury also has large num-
ber of secret service men, who oper-
ate against counterfeiters and other
criminals who seek to defraud the
Government or the people, and it
enforces the law against the sale of
opium and other narcotics.
In addition the Treasury employs
lquite large force OF examiners to
see that the national banks are run
according to law.

Freight Wrecked AT Hoodoo Switch.

piedmont Journal Banner.)
Last Saturday near noon, at the
south end of the Sabula passing track
freight train of so loads was wreck
ed, fourteen cars being derailed and
seven of them being overturned near
where two former wrecks have oc-
cured during the last six years.
The main track was blocked for
several hours during Saturday night
until Sunday morning when number
six was the first train to get clearance.
The wreck is supposed to have been
the result of an imperfect or defec-
tive wheel on the thirteenth car back
from the engine and which lead in
the derailment.
The overturned cars contained
merchandise and consisted among
other things of a car of mems hats, a
car Of -four and car of canned goods.
The wreckers out of De Soto and
Poplar Bluff we're called and were
busy for over two days clearing the
debris. All passenger trains Satur-

Two Spencerian Falsehoods.
tSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

tSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
1t is rule of ordinary decency, not
to speak of courtesy and veracity,
for gentlemen who unwittingly make
false or incorrect statements to cor
rect them with apologies when their
attention is called to the mistake.
Senator Spencer has made two
false statements in connection with
his charge that the President prom
ised the Rumanians and Serbs that
il their territory were invaded, he
would send the American army and
feet to Europe to protect their
boundaries.
The President brands the statement
as unqualifiedIy false. Senator Spen-
Ger admits that he has no knowledge
of the truth or accuracy of the state
ment he made, but says he based it
upon statement made by others.
The statement he quotes from Sena-
tor Reed and Mr.. Gibbon differs
radically from the statement he made.
At best, on his own admission, he
falsely garbled and misrepresented
the statement Without word Of
correction or amend, he cheekily
asks the President to tell him what
he did say, thus siyly and unscrupul-
ously conveying the impression that
there was truth in his statement.
Falsehood No. 2 was a deliberate
public statement that the denial made
by Secretary Tumulty on the author
ity and instruction of the President
was neither made nor authorized by
the President. Secretary Tumulty
proves this to be ale by reference te
the files and the President clinchel
the proof by a direct statement ovel
his own signature that he did author
ize the denial and that the statemen
is s'unqualifiedly false"
To this proof of lie made out o

A fine COW owned by Geo. W. Bu-
ford was killed and the carcass was
burned on Wednesday morning, as
from all symptoms the COW had gone
mad. The latter part of last week
Mr.. Buford noticed the COW acting
rather queerly and on Sunday morn
ing he penned her up in barn, fear
ing that she was affected with rabies,
and from all accounts there is hardly
any doubt but what she was. A COW
owned by A. f. Neely is affected
the same way the Buford cow was,
and the belief is that she also was
mad. Some weeks ago dog passed
through here, coming from near
Loughboro, and from all accounts the
dog was affected with rabies. The
dog met a. N. Beard in the road and
attempted to bite him, but he had a
halter in his hand and was able to
defend himself. The dog passed
through the Buford farm and later or
was killed in the Hickory Grove set
tlement by Simon Crump. For the
next four weeks it will be we'll fol

great faith in their helping to save

J., THURSDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1872
Mr.. Harding At Baltimore.
tst. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

Mr.. Harding's speech at Baltimore
Monday night was interrupted by a
man in the audience who put this
question: 81 want to ask whether
you have scrapped the League and
whether you stand with Senator john
son in his position?" Mr.. Harding
replied:
"I understand what prompted tnat
question and want to say if Iswere
in favor of one-man Governments in
the public, then should be able to
answer your question"
An instructor in the rudiments of
logic would find in Mr.. Harding's re-
ply an engaging specimen which ne
would dissect with gusto, to the
complimentary laughter of high
school juniors. He would present
this assortment of words as the per-
feet example of the preposterous
premise, wildly pursued by the un-
pardonable nonsequitur. Levity
presently yielding to indignation,
such trickery would be condemned
as the trash of the buffoon.
With the intellectual limitations of
Mr.. Harding, however, the public is
already surfelted. Let the Baltimore
pass. That truth is that Mr.. Harding
had already answered his heckler's
question, when, in the speech of Ang.
2S, pronounced the League an ''irre-
deemable failure" That was the
speech that penetrated the gloomy
hermitage of porch overlooking
San Francisco Bay, that ended the
doleful musings of disappointed
statesman, that brought Hiram john
son to his feet with reverberating
"Eureka-the League is dead" That
was the speech, too, that inspired
Henry Cabot Lodge toadance jig on
the grave of the covenant, that evok-
ed from the sanct imonious Will Hays
a telegraphic benediction to Marion:
"You are the mastery leader. You
have pointed the path.''
Yet all those citations may be
obliterated and still the question of
the Baltimore interrogation is fully
answered. Turn back to last week,
to Friday, Sept. "a, at Lawrence,
Mass. Senator Borah of Idaho had
been talking. He had :, gone to
Massachusetts in behalf of the Re-
publican candidate for Congress, who
is making his campaign on an honest
platform of open hostility of the
League. At the close of his speech
Mr.. Borah invited questions, and,
finally, in answer to just where he
himself stood, declared that he would
not vote for any candidate either for
the Senate or the House of Repre-
sentatives who is not against the
) League of Nations, regardless of
what ticket he ran on.
That is the condition on which Mr..
Borah is supporting Mr.. Harding.
That is the price Mr.. Harding has
contracted to pay, for the support,
not only of Borah and johnson, but
of all the opposition to the League.
And when the day of settlement
comes, as it will come, if he is elected
) Mr.. Harding will have to pay. Nc
squirming, or dodging, or evading
) will be permitted then. The Borahs
and Johnsons will demand the corpse
T. of the covenant and the White House
will rock in the gales of wrath if Mr.,
Harding attempts to compromise the
debt.
