1 "hi: Treasurer of South Iakota has
4 lit out" with ir.:v than SM.fMtof
the Slate's inonoy, leaving the Treas
ury entirely Imnkrupt. He was elected
l.y the lK in.x ratsaiiil his term of office
was a!i:t to ixj'ire. "Where is lie
V" is now the Imrninfr tUestion.
The citizens of Hellofonte and Centre
county, without distinction of party,
r;uv or color, turned out on Friday last
to tender a farewell reception to Oov
ernor Hastings and family, prior to
their departure for IIarris!iurr. "Our
Pan" is an immense social favorite
with his neiejihors.
Any kind of a financial hill that ean
lie squeezed throuirh C'onfrre is what
t'lcvvlaml ami Carlisle are now pray
ing for. They are as anxious as the oM
loai.l who went to the woods to pray
for a hi!!aiiL When an old owl i:i
the tr-v-top scrcechi-d out "to who, to
who," she lifted up her voice and ex
claimed : "Anylxxiy, Lord."
TiiK utur ina'oility of this I Vmoerat
ic 'onrrre-'s to frame and pass a bill
that uii! relieve the pinse-nt deplorable
conditio:! of the Treasury and provide
for the expenses' of tiie Government, is
so apparent that there is little doubt
the President will have to call theeom
injr K;-i.i!'lie::n Congress together in
extra s-.-i'in, to secure such legislation
as will re-tore contidetict' in t!ie iihility
of the Government to provide for its
debts and imvt current expenses.
It can't he said of Congri-ssnian Sil
ly, of the F.rie district, that "he is a
icmocrat without jruile." In a sjicech
in the House, l:i.-t week, he touched up
the President ia the following choice
language : " It has eonie to a tihie, Mr.
:-io:tkcr, when the Government of this
icoplc requires something more than a
combination of brains, U'ily and
brass." And, tell it not in Gath, this
coarse sally was received with rounds
f applause by his Democratic col
leairucs. It looks to lie inevitable now that
Huothcr issue of liuls will soon have
to In- placed ujxm the market to meet
tic- demands ujniji the Treasury. Iur
ini: the administration of the finances
by the Iw-puhlican psrty the national
'eU was r.-duvd by millions every
irotith, but now it is lx::ig constantly
increased. Already -1 i ,J , have
l-eeii added to our debt by this Admin
istration and there is now a deficit of
many millions in the Treasury, which
can only lie met by the sale of a liew
bateh of bonds.
Tin; condition of afiairs in Tennessee
j;i:-t now r.i-a'.ls the story of the old
'sipiire who gave judgment "agin the
defendant for and cost-.' i'.iit,
'sipiiiv, said the defeti. Lint's attorney,
'that's ix-yond your jurisdiction ; you
can't iio iL"' The thunder I can't, said
the 'squire, writing in his docket.
"Don't you me doin'it?" The
Kepnliliii'iis of Tennessee, at the Lite
-lection, carried the State for Hciiry
Clay I-Ivans for Governor. The iKims
rat-, having the legislature, refuse to
count .".nil d'-clare the V"te. You can't
do it, say the I.'epubliean-, It is mi-o!is:i''::jeii.-,.
The thunder we can't,
reply the I el:nH-rats. "iKm't you see

count the vote and the present IVmo
ratic iover-;or ho! Is on to the oflic.

:tre in a disrupted condition. At the
last moment the Ward Combine, head
ed by "Dave" Martin, dumped the
slated candidate for Mayor Senator
IVnrose and p.:t up City Solicitor
Warwick. The latter was nominated
with a hurrah, but the Penrose jieopic
refused to make his nomination unani
mous, charging that Martin had sold
out their candidate and was guilty of
liet raying the confidence of his friends.
Senator 'i:iy was appealed to to aid
Penrose and hurried from Washington
to Philadelphia for that piirioe. It is
reported that he and Martin iuanvicd
and thai it w ill lie war to the knife U
twceii them from this time forward.
As a result of the Republican snarl the
Demis-rats and anti-Warwick Kepubli
can will proliably unite uimii Gover
nor Pattison a their candidate. The
Philadelphia 1'imm is growing hyster
ical ever the matter and is laboring to
widen tiie breach in the hoie that the
Ik-mocrils will win in that stronghold
of Republicanism.
Willi.?: history shows that measures
v. ere advocated or endorsed by former
Presidents, there is no iustutnv of a
Pres'iieiit lieimr so erushingly sat upon
i'V Uilh branches of Coit'rress as the
present Chief Magistrate. In almost
very instance his policies, although
championed personally, have Ivcn
failures. His attesiipt to restore to her
throne the (Jiiecii of the Sandwich Isl
ands was a notorious failure. Hisctlorts
ia Ivhalf of the sihvr purchasing
clause of the Sherman Act Would have
Jut-li a signal failure had not the Re
publicans come to his aid and saved
him from defeat by his own parly
friends. The tariir bill that he openly
advocated w as slaughtered in the house
if his friends, and he wax conijielled to
swallow a measure that he had previ
ously denounced as jn-rtidious and dis
honorable, and now conies the curren
cy bill which he jM-rsonaliy ommeud--d,
and whii-h was stnmgled in the
throes of binh oil Wi-dnes-.lay last.
There is no other such record if crush
ing defeat and humilitiling disaster to
i- found in the history of ail our Presi
dents. It was good news that came from
Washington a few days since, that
Carlisle and Springer ami Speaker
Crisp, liack-d with all the power of the
Administration, failed to land the w ild
rat currency hill, for which they have
to xealously lalxire l.
Thedii-isivc vote came on the attempt
to adopt a rule In end delate- The
Republicans stood by (heir guns, and
with the assistance of theHilvcritcsaud
a few IV-mocrats defeated the attempt
o gag them and pass the bill.
The vote stood 11 to 1:. Sini- then
the 1 ietuK-ra-y have liecn " all at sea,"
and it is almost assured that there will
lie no financial legislation secured dur
ing the brief remainder of this session.
The Treaimry is leing depleted of its
?ld, the reveuiKs are daily running
iH-hind the cxjienscs of tiie govern
ment, and the stunlmni iinlnx iles con-'
Jrolling Congrtsis continue to wrangle
jimoiig themselves and denounce the!
R--pubIieans for refusing to aid them
irry out their desrructlve schemes. It
lia lieen pointed out to them tluit a

Ia Twelve States.
With the lK'gimiir.g of this year the
Republican party resumes control over
twelve slates whe re for several years it
has lieen in the minority. The inaugi'.ra
tion of Governor Upham at Madison last
week aP.er four years of Iteniocratie rule
will lie a day of rejoicing among the Wis
consin Republican.. ISut Wisconsin is
only one of a doM-n Slates where the Re
publicans lake control of the State gov
ernments to administer tha anVirs and
assume the responsibilities for gxd and
eononiii-jil government. These states
are Ctlorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Kansas, New York, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ten
nessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In Delaware, New York and Tennessee
the change is from Democratic rule of
longstanding, Delaware and Tennessee
having been Democratic since the war,
and New York Democratic for more than
a dozen years. Pennsylvania and Wis
consin have had Democratic administra
tions for four years, and Rhode Island
and Connecticut v ere carried by Demo
crats two years ago.
In Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota,
i treg-m and Wyoming the administration
of a'.i'airs is rescued trom the Populists.
The wave of Populism which swept over
the West four yea rs ago swept Kans:is,
t iregon and Colorado from their Republi
can moorings, and two years ago tiie
Dem-K-rats and Populists combined in
North Dakota and Wyoming and elected
governors. Rut Governors Waite, Pen
noyer and lAWeliing have made Popu
lism such a danger to public peace and
prosperity that in the election last No
vcikUt every Western State that had a
Populist administration went over to the
Republicans with a clean sweep.
The Republicans failed to elect Govern
ors in two Western States that gave Re
publican majorities on all the r.s.t of the
ticket. These were Nebraska and 'nli-
fi.rnia. The defeat of Majors in Nebraska
was a personal and not a party defeat, for
the Republicans elected a majority of the
lA'jjislalure and ail the Congressmen, and
the Legislature is alxmi to elect a Repub
lican, John M. Thurston, to the Cnite.1
States Senate. The defeat of Rsiec in
California was another personal defeat.
and the Rcpubii.-ans elected all the oti:-r
Suite olti-crs and a majority of the Legis
lature. Tiie Democrats of Tennessev are
in the same iHjsilion as the Republican
of Nebraska and California. The" lost
the Suite ticket and ch-cted the legisla
ture. That Tennessee Lejti-'lature has ho
more right to deny the certiiicalu of l-." -tion
to ;over!ior-eh-it II. Clay Kvaua
than had the Republic:'.!! Iegislalures of
Nebraska and California to deny certifi
cates of tlecti"ii to tioveruor Jlohvmh
aucl (ioxemor I.iihl.
Rut the dillereiit maimer of t.-ceptnig
the verdict of the people North uu-1 South
is illustrated by the ditierent way in
which Tennessee Democrats and C;-.!;fi--
niu and Nebraska Ri-publieans tri al the
men who rovived the highest vole at th
polls. In California and Nebraska R--piihii:-ins
assisted at the inauguration of
Democratic govvrn.us ln had run ahead
of lluir ticket and been clis-led. In
Tennessee the De:ii:s-r;;l;e Le'iislat'.iri' is
trying to .uoK-l some scheme by which
it can prevent a iepuMa-ui governor
from taking bis seat as the Kxeculive of
the State. This is one of tic reasons why
Nebraska and California are more jvojui
lar than Tennessee and imuiigratiou has
ln-en kept turneil lowanl the Wct, not-
wiihstaiiding the etU.i ts of the S.uu!i to
tuin the stream in that direction. The
home seekers prefer states where their
Vot-ss may lie counted as cast, and where
the jicoplc once intrusted with power re
linquish it when the majority of the votes
are givcu to other men.

Hock Farmers ia a Hold-up.
OrrfMWA, Ia., Jan. IX Two masked
roblicrs, disguised as farmers, held up a
passenger train at Chillieotheon the Rur
lingtoii Railroad last night and got away
with the contents of the express car safe,
proliably or over.
The pair of I audits jumped intotheex
press car through the open side disir, just
aj the train was leaving Chillicothe. The
express messenger was knocked down
and forced to give up the safe keys. He
and the luiggagetuan were cowed by re
volvers, hound and gagged. All the
packages and valuable. in the safe were
thrown into a grain sack.
As the train was Hearing this city the
mail clerk came into the express car and
was covered by revolvers without being
bound or gagged. The train slowed up
at Milwaukee Junction, a few miles from
this city, and this gave the roblicrs an op
portunity to jump olT the train and es
caK! in the darkness. It is thought the
r.iblieis had confederates near here, and
that they were taken to a placo of con
cealment in a carriage.
Tin- mail clerk released the prisoners,
ami a soon as the train entered Ottumwa
depot the oli-e were notified and a jiosse
started in pursuit. Kverything in the
sale was talo n, but it is not lielieved the
roblicrs got more than $.-,onu cash.

Marks to put in his $7ml, he at once com

put in was silver dollars. He liualiy
broke open the box, and was horrified to
find only a couple of cards therein. He
