the name of currency reform would,
therefore, be doomed good politic. It
would cover two thing, the failure of

The figure a to percentage of failure
however, do not tell the whole lory.
Hi nee 180.1, il.'IO national bunk, or
about 0 per cent ol all created, have

Kx Wlalo Auditor Kiigene Moore, who
wiim convicted of embcK.ling 23.40W.05
of etute money, wa anuteuced by Judge
Cornlub to eerve a term of eight year in
the penitentiary at bard labor and pay
a fine of double the amount of the em
In7,,leiiient. Whrn Mr, Moore flret entered the
courtroom to receive hi eeuteiicuhe
wa ualm and Neolute. He wa ucooiii
panled by a deputy eherlff, Khortly
alter he had taken hi place at tho long
table hi wife eeated herself by hi elde,
Her affcotlonata attention moved Mr,
Moore to tear, and he nobbed audibly,
A mot ion for a new trial had been filed
the day before. Upon the augacMtfon of
A ttorney (imierul Hmy tli the motion for
a new trial wae overruled by the court.
All that remained wa to pan eeiitunce.
Judge Corufeh, addrielug Mr. Mooro'e
attorney, afd:
"The defendant may take hie place be
fore the liar," '
Mr, Moore advanced to the bar of the
court with uiiMteady elope and leaned
forward upon the deek The court then
aked him what he had to eay why en
bmce Nhould not be pained, Mr. Moore,
with n voice trembling with emotion,
epoke at hoiiim length. He eald:
"I dclre the court to beaa lenient with
me iin poNHfblc. Thl affair or contro
verity hue caued my heart to almot
break and my mental ditre ha been
almoMt unbearable, I have never before
been arraigned before any court upon
any charge whatever; thl i my 11 ret
offcne againt any law, aud I have
alwaya etriven to be an houeet citlze
ana an iionei oincer, i nave aone inie
not only became ot my reepect for the
law, but on account of my love for my
wife aud my children. I have relied up
on tho who were auppoaed to be my
friend to aHit me in fraying to the
etate whatever money it I claimed I
owe, I have entertained hope that thl
con tro verity would never brgin, but a It
ha begun and ie now nearing it end, I
deire to ay that 1 never took a cnt of
anyone' money with any other inten
tion than that of retornimr it whenever
dcMired. Hi uce thl trial begun, and my
accuser have riaen atfainnt trie on all
eidea, I have endeavored to meet every
point they have made aaliiNt me,
"If 1 live long eiioiiirh, aud am able to
do no, I hIiuII repay to the atate every
cent which It I alleged 1 owe. I aliall
do thl regard!" of any etep which the
antireme court may take in the matter.
I do not wIhIi to eacape the prlon to
have my name blackeued, aud 1 ehull, if
poHHible, pay back every farthing that
the etate ay i coming to it. 1 have
already paid to the atate f 4,000, and
thl hae been every cent 1 have been uble
to raiae. I have ancriflced everything to
ward off the calamity that now eem to
be upon me, but the Nucriflce ha not
been ufllclt'ut, lean now ouly aek the
court to be ae lenient with me a po-
Idle."
Mr. Moore waa far from compoaed
during hi plea for mercy, but at the
clone of It he broke down completely and
wept like a child. It appeared to thoe
lauding near that he munt taint, and
Couuty Attorney M tinner made haata to
glva lilin hla chair, into which he ank
wit It t towed head, th tear atreamlng

that you nhould receive ten year,"
When the court pronounced the mm
teuce of ten year, Moore uave a convul
eiveeob. Hi wife, with face unvalued
by a eingle tear but with au expreaalon
of anguih that could ouly accompany a
broken heart, half dropped to her knee,
tightened her arm about her hubaud'e
neck and cried:
''Oh, pleaae, judge, have mercy on him:
have mercy on hi in I ' aud then her head
droped between her arm upon the
ehouldcr of tho man with whom ehe had
lived no many year. There were many
wet eye at thm Mecond domountrutlon
of etaunch friundeliip and love, aud even
the court had to look away to avoid be
ing carried away by (cling. There wa
eiience for fully a minute and then the
court Raid:
"On account of your devoted wile and
your loving children, 1 will reduce th
aentence by two year. Therefore the
eentenca of the court i that you ehall be
confined in the penitentiary for the term
of elidit yearat hard labor, pay the
com! of proHecntiou and be fined in the
eumol 140.810.10."
Oi'ttlJ f,"r Mr. Moore wae led from

remain in the cutody of the aheriff until
an appeal can be taken to the eupremo

eecretary of the republican etate iwntral

three were rvturued aud for the purpone
of correcting oiiiIknIoiim where the clerk
had failed either to alga hi name or
place tho aeul of the county on the ab
stract, No attempt wae made nor any
reipjeat to the county clerke to In any
way change the returne from tli one three
I'ountleri. They were nl m ply technical
error which were likely to occur and no
harm could poeeluly come by having
them corrected.
If the houeat voter of the elate will
but reflect lor a moment aud coneider

that any tampering with tho abritract
would have been au net of Idiocy, ae
It could no eiutlly have lawn detected.
Had 1 boon a dihouet a theae fakir

1 would have had more horao neimo than
to undertake to do aomolhlng that could

return, everyone with ordinary intelli
gence kuowe that could not have beeu
done In thle ofllce without it being knowu
by a uomiinriNon with the original ab
atract held by the county clerke.
There are alo a number of other
charge which have been brought in
connection with thle by tho York Time
aud ( one other republican pitiere of the
tat, charging that I illegally opened
the printing bid for the pi in ting of the

Individually I care nothing for the
criliciam of the Htate Journal and other
republican paper of that Ilk, who. hav
ing fattened off the taxpayer under the
republican administration of the past,
Hud ft impossible to believe that there ie
honesty In the state house aud that
everything Ie only done for effect, when
it come to a question of economy, and
I ouly make thle ktatement became) I
have been charged with wilfully aud ma
liciously tampering with election returne
and violating the law of the etate. Ho
loug ae 1 am being assailed ia my offi
cial capacity by theae paper 1 feel satla
tled that I am performing my duty, aud
hould the time ever come when they
iettk of my administration of the affair
of thle ollice with commendation 1 ahall
very carefully examine the conduct of
the office, to ee wherein the luterest of
tho people of the etate have failed to be
protected, as we all know that the Htate
Journal ha nlway defended every Mtual
that ha ever been perpetrated within
the wall of the capltol building, and in
only now howling becaiiae it hae been
pushed away from the public trough and
compelled to come In and do work at
legitimate price instead of getting the
exorbitant prloe they have enjoyed
at the hand of post administration for
printing and other work done for the
state.
It la apparent to every fair-minded
citixod in view of the fact that theae
Mnuie organ have tried to Implicate
(loveruor llolcomb lu the atealing of
Hartley and other, and have been howl
lug about Mewrve'i straw bond, etc.,
that they are simply trying to distract
the attention ol Iha peopht from their
own iufamoue record, but they will not
mucohhJ, for, ae the Imuiortuf Lincoln
out remarked, they may la able "to
foo! all of Iha (Miopia aouia of the time,
and eome of the people alt of th time,
but they rami it tool all ol tba people all

ha provided amply for the maintenance
and support of the verioue etate institu
tion, thl ouo bo been one of the fav
ored few that hae been provided with
sufficient amount of officere and clerical
assistance ao that no uncertain systom
of accounting can bo said to have been
caused by n lack of clerical help or the
failure of proier provisions on the part
of t lie legislature to furnish good and
sufficient appropriation to pay good
and sufficient bookkeepers, stenograph
er and assistant to the uporin tu dent."
