THE DAILY CITIZEN. This bi'kino, for the first time in the history of the country, probably, women acted as clerks and judges of elections. They served in this capacity at the municipal elections in several Kansas towns. So pak as the sheriff office went in New York city, the corruption More the recent explosion was as bad as in the worst days of Tweedism. But there is one thing that public thieves can rely on as surely as death. Stealing, like every other evil, carries the seed of its own ruin, When the thieves feci securest, just then, dead sure, comes the earth quake, ,At the same time that Knglish syndi cates are buying the great breweries and the Kentucky distilleries, temperance work in this country, certainly, was never more active. In Irelund, too, it is proceeding aggressively. A new tem perance crusade there hus begun under the auspices of the Catholic clergy. A circular letter intended to promote the cause, and signed by Archbishop Walsh and others, hus been read in all the churches of Ireland. ' Indications ahk that the young em peror of Germany will lie as despotic as Frederick the Great. Already no ,one dares sieak an opinion adverse to his for feur ol his displeasure. No one of the political parties in Germany is strong enough to hold the balance of power alone, and so the young erticror has things mostly his own way. Hut sooner or Inter accumulated truth bursts like a storm all at once Hpon the hends ol autocrats who refuse to heur it in the natural course. Tub most sensitive conscience in Amer ica has just been brought to light. The United States treasurer nt Washington has received $1.18, which the sender wrote was principal and interest of a sum ol money taken from the mint in Philadelphia in 1HK0. After ull, the sen der has not discharged his obligation to the government. Evidently he took one dollar, on which he calculates interest at 6 kt cent. He has not coniounded the unpaid interest, and he has not counted in the quarter yeur of 1800. He is short in his accounts with the government one cent, seven mills nnd a hnlf. It is the misfortune ol some people that they conceive it to be a newspnier's duty to be always criticising and picking flaws. If a newspnicr should fol low this mistaken idea it would come to be regarded as little better than a public scold. Persistent running down and belittling of a town and its ieoplr is harmful, in that it gives outsiders a M)or impression of the place and tend to foster a lack of sclf-res)ect among its citizens. How long would a business concern prosper' if each member of the firm went about declaring that his part ners were ignorant and unreliable and were driving away trade? The town or city that enjoys a healthy growth, pros icrity, contentment nnd happiness at tains it by everybody taking hold with n will nnd talking for the place they live in as well as working for it. TiiK most remarkable and distinctly primitive white men to be found within the borders of the United States to-day are the mountaineers of the great Appa lachian range extending from the south ern boundary of Pennsylvania, through West irginin, eastern Kentucky, west ern North Carolina, east Tennessee and into northwestern Georgia and northern Alabama. The politics of many of these mountain men so fur as they can decide it them selves, is epiite as vague and uncertain ns the tenets of their religious belief ; but ns a class they did not remain in doubt when the war broke out. Andrew Jack son, a splendid type of their own nice, was nnd is their politicnl saint, nnd like him they came to look with an idolatrous love on the flag of the Union. To them the war did not involvethe right of seces sion, of which they knew nothing, nor the Ireetlom ol the slave, for which thev enred less; it wns simply a struggle be- . i.i n... i iwcvn mc uiu niig unu a new one, lino their nllcginnce at that trying time wns ns unwavering as was their blind faith in ultimate success. Fok monk than a quarter of century Samuel J. Randall has occupied a sent in congress ns a representative from the State of I'ennsvlvnnin. And not only in length of service, but in distinguished ability, his career has been notable. During the greater part of this time he has held without dispute the position of leader of his pnrty in the house, in which his force of character and his exceptional parliamentary knowledge and skill ren dcrcd him ieculinrly successful. When occupying the Sinker's chair, his fair ness, as well as his firmness, made him rcsiiected by ull parties. Mr. Rnndnll held a peculiar position in congress, un like that of any other member. He was the unanimous choice of the voters of his district nt the Inst election there wns no opposing candidate and only 112 scattering votes were cast against him and although a life-long and earnest democrat he wns retained in office by republican suprt. This peculiarity, of course. Itasbeen due to the devotion with which Mr. Randall sustained the Penn sylvania, idea in economic legislation; and for the same reason he tins been more or less in disaccord with his pnrty, nnd lutely has come into direct opposi tion. Hut although sent to congress a the representative ol "protected mnn oiMilics, and holding his sent by the grace III mum; iiiiviibib, iiu snnuwn ui uiwiaviut ever rested upon his character. He wns one whose integrity wns above suspicion and whose opinions were always rcsiiec ted as honestly conscientious. His dcaln is a distinct loss to tue country. ONLY 1 RABBIT'S FOOT WAS ALL THAT WAS LEFT IN THE MONEY BAG. OR. HILLIARD'S THEORY ABOUT THE MURDER, The Little Property Entailed The Woman Had Money About Her Deputy Jones PronilaeH Rich Developments!. "It was the money supposed to be on her person, and not the property that would fall to those interested that caused the murder." That wits the remark of Coroner Hil linrd yesterday, upon being asked bis theory of the murder of Harriet Williams which occurred Saturduy night. "The property," he continued, "wns entailed, and did not belong wholly to Harriet. In case of her death, there would be six heirs, as near as I can find out, who would claim a share of the property. Then the land is not very val uable, and I suppose is worth no more thun $100 an acre, or $300 lor the entire tract. Taking this into consideration it would not seem to be of any grent benefit to unyone of the heir as far as the pro crty is concerned, "I think this is the whole secret of the murder,"suid the coroner, ns he produced a bag or pocket made of bed ticking. "I found this tied around her body beneath her underclothes, nnd it wns torn and bloody ns you see it now. See those bloody finger prints." The bug wns about tune inches long and six broud. There was a rent run ning from one end to the other, nnd bloody markscould lie seen, showing how the bag was grasicd to tear it open. While Dr. Milliard hud the bag in his hnncl he felt something in one corner, and upon renching in found a rabbit's foot wrapicd up in a piece of cloth. 'The murdered woman had given out to her neighbors," he continued, "that she possessed a bank account, but ns no account can be found in town I think she must have done this in order to keep any one from suspecting her of having any money about the house. She wns known to be a hardworking, thrifty woman, nnd I have no doubt but that she had saved $100 or $125 from her wages, which she carefully concealed on her person. Slie tried to keep this n secret, but evidently some one had found w here she kept this money and committed the crime to ob tain possession of it. Another thing wns that this was probably the lust Saturday night she would siend it her home for scleral months. She wns coming to town the following Monday to go to work for a family here for the summer. As to the guilt of the mini now under arrest, I think he could not have been thcoucwho did the work." Deputy Sheriff Jones, who has the rase in rbargc, refused to tttlk when seen but promised some startling developments when the coroner's jurv met on Satur day. As he has Ix-cn instrumental in lioth of the arrests it is only natural to suppose that his promised startling de velopments relate to the susiectcd par ties. For the Criminal Court. The following is a list of the jurors ni- iMiintcd for the next term of the criminal court, which convenes Monday, April 2S: K. R, Glenn, J. M. I-orick, Jno. M. Davidson, J. A. Rrookshirc, A.
