tyfitMrnMP If LANCASTJ2K DAILY INTELLIGENCER MONDAY. OCTOBER 2ii. KSHIJ. Lancaster tntclKgcnrcr. MONDAY EVENING, OCT, 22, tOOS, A Troublesome (Jiii'stlen. Senater Stewart, Chairman Cooper and Caudldate Nllcs, In appearing upon the name platform and befere the same audience, must encounter seme embar rassment In discusalngone of theleadlug Issues of the cnmpalRii, the management of the stnle treasury. That Is n pre eminent question this year. It Is made S3 by a long succession of political events In this state. It was the Issue upon which Mr. Charles S. "Welfe buns out his Hag In 1881, when he polled nearly ten thousand mero Independent votes than did Senater Stewart, with all the powerful organization, lcadersjiiews papers nud money that were behind his canvass. In his campaign Welfe charged that Sir. Llvsey, the present cashier of the treasury and the He publican candidate for state treasurer, was a mere creature of the treasury ring, at the head of which was Chris. Magee. The Republican convention this year, against the pretest of that sagac ious politician, M.S. Quay, nominated this same Llvsey. He was net thj se lection of his party. He was net the free choice of the convention. A majority of the delegates were secured for him by corrupt means. Ills nomination means an endorse mentet the old treasury ring with all that this Implies. As Mr. Welfe has said in hl3 published letter, "Llvsey is simply the creature of Chris. Magee, and, if elected, Magee will virtually be treasurer of the commonwealth. I think the mission of the Independents is te whip the candldate for treasurer, at least by net voting at all, or, if the Democrats noralnate a suitable man, by voting for hitn." And In view of this the Puhlic Ledger, speaking for the conservative business Interests of Philadelphia, wants voters "te be wary about candidates for state treasurer " and te " keep clear of any one groomed by ,i.itrens of the pres ent system." What that " present system' is no oue knows better than Seuatei Stewart : and no one knows better than he that the abuses of it required the passage by the Legislature this session of " the Humes law," which Stewart supported, Cooper opposed and Niles dodged. That 'aw was required because the Republt can state treasurer and auditor general, commissioners of the sinking fund, wil fully and flagrantly violated or failed te obey the constitution and existing laws. They require that no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than In the extinguishment of the public debt," (Artix. sec, 11) ; that 'the money3 of the state, ever and above the necessary reserve.shall be used in the payment of the debt of the state, either directly or through the sinking fund and the moneys of the sink lag funds shall never be Invested in or leaned upon the security of any thing except the bends of the United States," (Art. ix, Sec. 13,) and that the moneys held as necessary reserve shall be limited by law te the amount required for current expenses," ( Art. ix, Sec. 13.1 In the face of all Uie3e pre lnbltery and mandatory laws the " pre sent system," of which Llvsey i3 the exponent, the two or three millieus in the sinking fund are " applied '' te the relief of favored binks; the four mil lion dollars in the state treisury are neither used te pay the debt nor Invested in federal or state bends, but, in dell.uice of law, are leaned te bauk3 throughout thostate, without a dollar of security te the state, except the treasurer's bend, which Is for only $500,000 against four millions in the banks which he favors. The "necessary reserve "for " current expenses" Js fixed by law at ?ouu,eoo,but under the B.tiley-Llvsey management it has averaged $1,SOO,000. When a bill te reform nil this and simply te enforce the constitution was introduced in the Legislature Cooper fought it teeth and nail and Niles dodged. Even since it became u law the Republican com raissleners of the sinking fund flagrantly refuse te enferce it. Why : They say it will be tee hard en the batiks, some of which have for years, undisturbed, had the use of hundreds of thousands of the state moneys. Uut, as the Arc- Em has said : The plea that the hanks who held state fuuds en depesit ought te have time te propare te meet tliodeuiandsofthollumes law is no justification ler a majority of the commissioners of the sinking land voting against the preposition te invest tlie funds in state or United Stntcs bends at ouce The banks have ue claims upon these funds. Thoyare merely used as depjsi depjsi terics for the oeuvonlenoo of thu mate treasurer, and they knew, or ought te luve known, when they accopted theni, that they were liable te call at any time. What the nudiunce, which Cooper and Stewart and Nlle3 will address at the court-house te-night, ought te be told is, why the Republican commissioners of the sinking fund de net enferce the Humes tict, does Nllcs condemn them, if elected te their place will he de differ ently, and why did he dedge the vete en It. This is n vital Issue of the campaUn The Democratic platform and candidates say: .,Tue 1?"K continued abuses and spulla tleu of the state treasury and defianoe of law by its management make essential a radical reform he that large funds shall net be accumulated by the taxation of the poeplo and distributed among favered depositories of the state ofllelals, but that all surplus in excess of tlm im.n,.,n,in .... oessitlea of the state governmeut shall be invested in Interest bearing stm n. rn,i oral securities until it may be applied te the extinguishment of the state debt. What de Niles, Cooper and Stewart say Y 1 i Ihk Examiner says Cooper has spoiten te Lnncaster audlences before, but our candldate for auditor general, Hen. Jereme II. NIle.S. la n ulrnnrep." This is the exact truth for ence. Hut if iMJuamlncr had wanted te tell the whele truth It might have added that when Cooper was here befere he was fresh from his atterapt te pass what the Examiner called ' the rdue million ateal," concerning which the Examiner said he and all ethers who veted for it should have been driven headlong down capltel hill " into the Susquehanna rlver." The editor of the New Era dc neuncedhlm and thl3 steal" instill mero vlolent terms. As Mr. Niles is a stronger here, it may be remarked of him, by way of introduction, that he, tee, wn3 ene of the me3t conspicuous advocates and supporters of tins same ' nlne million steal." Ilelman Will he. The New Yerk Sun, which has been booming William S. Ilelman, of Indi ana, for the presidency In a mild man nered sort of way, Is suspected by its cotemperarles of being only about half In earnest, a suspicion which they claim te be strengthened by the publication in the Sun of Mr. Helmnn's likeness. Un doubtedly It was net very imposing physiognomy. It did net display the ceuntenance of n very great man. Rut Mr. lfelmau could be a very geed presi dent without being a very great mar. Great men may make very peer presi dents, as we knew te our sorrow, sjme of our most satisfactory presidents have net belonged te the class ; and when we survey the short list of the country's present great men, particularly these who have earned the title by their ar dent pursuit of the presidency, we de net find many, if any, who bid fair te make geed presidents. Mr. Ho' He' man has firmness and honesty ns strong recommendations te the White Heuse, and If lie should be made presi dent we would be sure te haveeur public affairs honestly, carefully and economi cally administered, it net brilliantly. Se that we agree with the Sun that Mr. Ilelman would de. We could say the s.itue, however, of quite a number of men among theso little spoken of for the presidency, because they are net devoted te swelling themselves out for the place. There are many men, iu public life and out of it, who would make excellent chief magistrates; and it is a cause of congratulation that the conventions will, in the present mori bund appearance of the standing presl dency hunters, be forced te leek around among the material that does net va mt itself for the place. The etlice 3heuM seek the man. Election day and Republican dcme.-al jzatien are only two weeks from te morrow. While tbe dynasties of Europa are iu continual het water with present and iui pcudlng troubles, the United States gov gev eminent keeps the even tenor of its way, respected by all, disturbed by none. These who are morbidly fend of the nasty sensational will doubtleM prick up their cars en learning that Mrs. Liugtry's mother is cxtrmely deaf and canuet we without her glasses. The rapidity with which the defalcations of tbe clerks in the pay department of the Pennsylvania railroad were made up seems te indicate that seme of the powers behind tha thruue were gettiuj their share of the loot and booty. Jehn Stewaut will attempt the acre batic feat this evening of explaining hew Niles and Livesy are mere worthy of Re publican support than the Christian sol sel dicr and gentleman, James A. Heaver. Consistency, thou art a jawel '. Se.natehs Coer-cn and Stewart and Candldate Niles will probably net explain te night why they kept the Legislature iile for six weeks, at an oxpenso of four thousand dollars a day, only te dotermine whieh Republican faction should elect tbe United States senator. SexvteuStgwaht's reasens for selling his birthright for a ratss of pottage ate hard te understand. His vehement oppe sitien te General Beaver last year, aud equally nggrcsslve light for Niles and Livasy.it the prosent time, caa be ex. plained euly under the supposition that the senator fiem Franklin is filled with au overweonlng desire te get back in the Stalwart ranks, and, begging pardon for past offences, hive the old Cameron calhr buckled around his neck. One of the most powerful arguments advaue'd by Mr. Niles iu a recent speech in Yerk was that the chairman of the Domecratio state comtnittee " was a Ro Re pubilcan up te 1S72." An Mr Hetsel had ue vete in 1S72 the rolevaney of this arguraent is net entirely clear, but it would probably have beeu better for Mi. Niles if he hid had no vete iu the Lagisla ture in 1300. He might have been spared making the record efhaviuir bjen a ami. spicueus advojate and supporter of the nlne million steal."

The best known of the pair is Rjbart Gochoneur, or this city, who breke ent of the Yerk county tad, where he was awaiting trial en the charge of larceny, two weeks no. After getting out he huuted up a partner by the name of Ress Doste. and the two began n career of crime. They would steal from beuses or stores, but preferred te rob freight cats or warehouses. In seme way they managed te gain possession of four different keys te freight cars se that they weroable te open almost any of thorn. The boys trae!ed mostly by rail and worked betwecu Philadelphia and Harris burg. The railroad ellicers had been look leek lug for them for seme time, but wero uuable te get them befere Saturday. In the forenoon efthatday Dester was caught at the passouger depot in this city by Officer Pvle and ledged in jul. OfUecr James Kennedy, of Columbia, traced Gocheueucr from Columbia te the heue of a r.imily named Genter. in the hills near Orubb's furnace. When the boy saw the ofllcer he jumped out of the back window of the house and took te the hills. Kennedy followed and ran the boy te Columbia, where Oilicer Wittig arrested him. He was brought te this city aud placed m jail. In the heuse of the Geuters a large let of stolen go-ids were fnind, including the following : 10 black shawls, roil or calico, hat, buttons, pin?, banderchiefs, Ae. The shawls wero takeu from the fieight depot at Ceate.s. ville which was broken into a short time age. A basket whieh beljnged te the sta tion agent was takru aud it was also re covered. Yeuug Dester confessed that he nnd his partner robbed the warehouse, aud that the ether goods found at Gentor's were taken from freight ears by them.

Thu tli st idpresontatlen of legitimate drama this maieu in Lancaster was the np pearance in Fulton opera house, Saturday ovening, of Win. Station!, in "It miee and Juliet."

One great featuie of tills tragedy Ib its peutm reilnonient.and in it burlesque of ptssieii is exrcrable. It may be justice te sav that Mr. Stafferd has his (tui idea of the eharaatci, and fellows it. Yet a performance se lacking iu gtace of movement and expression, no (intra geeusly permeated with effeinluncy, and se destitute of sy mpatholie qualities, w tilel. must be present te captivate the hpeotater, is tuoie iu accord with the shallow nnd tearful melodrama of today, than lltted te the finished, though tenebrous, creations of the old masters of tragedy. Surely the liomte who can aoknewl edge the dating siguillcauce of the famous sentouce, "He jests at scars who never felt a wound," and who braves the fatal hatred of thu Capulu's t. tucet his love, was never designed te be ptcsented as the continually lachrymose young man who Mr. Stafferd delineates. Hmee sheds tears, but they are net always Mewing , h" Is womanish sometime, he is manly as of teu, and where Shakesp.'aie makes limte sigh, Mr. Statlerd makes him ery. The favoute or the evcuiug, however, was Miss Evalyti Fester as Juliet.
