Onb of the meanest, most contempti ble acts of tho Cleveland administra tion was the treatment given Admiral Meade. Would that those who try to besmirch him had been as faithful to their duties as this gallant old sea dog has been to his. Worcester Spy. At the battle of Re3aca, (Jeorgia, tho boys in blue played a Yankee trick on the Reba by making a lasso out of the prolond, a large strong rope, and throw ing it over a cannon, one of a battery of four pieces, then yanking it over the embankment, and before tho Reba could get over their surprise, the Yanks rushed in and captured the remainder of the battery. The Oklahoma republican league met in South Enid, May 21, with thirty leagues represented. All the leading republicans o the territory wero present.- The hours were spent in tho dis cussion of tho silver question and many different opinions wero given. Finally a resolution was adopted in favor of free silver at a ratio of 1G to 1, and for a protective tariff on foreign bullion. Near Foardland, Webster county, Missouri, on tho farm of W. C. Sitz, a quarter acre of land was found sunk about twenty feet, and largo rocks that - had been thrown out of tho hole were found Sunday buried in tho meadow several hundred feet away from the hole, and must have been hurled to a great hight in order to strike the earth with the force indicated by the new position. The reprimand which President Cleveland administered to Admiral Meade, while not at all pleasant on its face, is not of tho kind that kills. It will not only not seriously 'injure the reputation of the retiring officer, but it will emphasize in greater degree the distinguished services he has rendered to his country. He can well afford to let his record, "reprimand" and all, go down in history in contrast with the public services rendered by President Cleveland nud Secretary Herbert, either or both combined. New York Com mercial Gazette. The Seward Reporter, in a thoughtful article, calls attention to the fact that bankers "have generally been furnishing the bonds of state and county treasur- , ers, and that "tho banker who signs the treasurer's bond does so with at least an implied understanding that a part of the state's funds 6hall be placed in his bank, and the profit he expects to make therefrom is tho reason he signs the bond." The Reporter believes that so long as a personal bond is required, the state and counties will continue to be .troubled as they have been, and also continue to lose thousands upon thous ands of dollars. The remedy suggested is, lees accumulation of money; let the large amount in the school fund be ' placed on good security, at a fair rate of interest; laws could be passed relative to bond issues, sinking funds, etc., by which the credit of a county could be kept fully up to standard, its obligations 'promptly met, and still avoid the large accumulation of monej' in its treasury, hereby removing a potent evil force in county affairs. This, besides requiring the treasurers to furnish a guaranty bond procured by one of tho numerous bond companies of. the country. With snch a bond the state would be amply protected and no sentiment would in terfere with prompt enforcement of the bond in case of loss. The Reporter hopes that somo man of good financial ability will take up the matter and de- rise ome plan for passage by tho next lcguiatnre, to prerent the recurrence of the financial troubles oi the past years. iW. Q. GfiESHAlI DEAD. .THE SECRETARY OF STATE QUIETLY PASSES AWAY. His Wife and Daughter Were at His Bed sideKept Alive Several Hours by- Pow erful Stimulants End of an Illustrious Career Three Times a Cabinet Officer. Washington, May 28. Secretary Greeham died at 1:15 o'clock this morn ing at his rooms at the Arlington hotel. Although his recovery was practically abandoned when his sinking spell oc curred shortly after 6 o'clock Monday evening, the most powerful heart Btimnlants known to medical science, nitroglycerine and digitalis, were injected periodically and an in fusion of normal salino solution was made through an open vein in the arm. He recovered slightly, but owing to severe rigors shortly be fore 11 o'clock he began to fail rapidly and his vitality began to ebb. The three physicians saw that the end was near and at 12 o'clock withdrew to the anteroom, leaving in the sick room only the members of his family, Mrs. Gresham, her daughter, Mrs. E. F. An drews of Chicago, and son-in-law, Mr. Andrews, and the nurses. Up to that time he had been conscious and talked at intervals. His words were full of bravery. He fully appreciated his con dition and spoke words of hope and cheer to his stricken wife and daughter. His Son Was Absent. Sometimes his mind wandered slig lit ly and went back to the days of long ago, recalling incidents of life aud happiness in the springtime of his life. He spoke, too, of his absent son and his private secretary, Mr. Langis, whom he loved as a son and who, like his son, was speeding to his bedside, all too late. fci WALTER Q. GRESHAM. But jnst before the physicians retired he ceased speaking, though he appeared to be conscious. Mr. Gresham sat at the bedsido smoothing the fevered brow and occasionally reading to him from the Bible passages which he loved. As the end approached his pulse became hardly perceptible. Gradually his eyes glazed and closed. Airs. Gresham.with noble and heroic fortitude, continued to read the words of the gospel to her de parting husband. Her daughter and son-in-law stood with bowed heads at the side of the couch. Many Prominent Watcliers. At 1:15 o'clock his breathing ceased, a peaceful shadow passed over his pale countenance, his pulse flickered aud the sorrowing family were in the presence of death. One of the nurses conveyed the news that the end had come to the physicians in the next room. Those present in the reception room were Sec retary and Mrs. Lamont, Secretary Herbert, Assistant Secretary of State Uhl, Assistant Secretary of War Mc Adoo, First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Jones, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin, Attorney General Olney, Colonel Corbin of the army and the president's private secretary, Thur ber. In the hotel lobby outside were a half hundred of the secretary's friends. No arrangements will be made for the funeral until tle arrival of his sou. Soldier, Judge and Statesman.

The United States supreme court denied the applica tion of Eugene V.Dehs, the sttike leader, for a writ of habeas corpus. This is a victory for the government. No more important question, with the single ex ception of the income tax, has come be fore the supreme court during the past year than the attempt of Eugene V. Debs and other officials of the A. R. TJ. to secure a reversal of the sentences to jail by Judge Woods for interfering with interstate commerce aud the run ning of the mails iu the great railway strike of last summer. The history of the case is still fresh in public memory, but it has importance beyond the ques tion of the imprisonment of the A. R. D. officers, because there is , largely in volved the principles of the right of judges having jurisdiction of large in terests by virtue of receiverships cre ated by them to prevent labor troubles through the instrumentality of injunc tions. Nearly one-third of the railway property of the United States being in hands of receivers appointed by federal courts, the precedent to he established has wide application.

A Missouri river fisherman found the bodies of ilrs. Ida Notben and her two young children. Mrs. Notsen is the Omaha school teacher whose mysterious disappearance with her children last fall created such a sen sation in Omaha. Disappointment in politics she alleged as reasons for com mitting suicide. She left a letter say ing site would kill herself and children because she had not been appointed to a position in the office of the state super intendent of public instruction. Search of the river at the time re vealed nothiug that would indicate that Mrs. Notsen had carried out her threat, She was a very intelligent woman of 40 years, with a good standing in .vtate ed ucatioual circles. Her husband is a Chicago merchant, &he teaching in Omaha, residing with her parents. The bodies were found firmly tied to gether with a heavy rope. Ic wound around them several times. Evidently the miserable woman had taken her children in her arms, twisted the rope around them and after firmly binding their three bodies together that they might not be separated in death, leaped into the river. The clothes 0jj the x v" m ssAv ir 4 fjp children were tied around their necKs as if having been straugled before being carried into the water. BLOODY BATTLE NEAR WOLCOTT.

PIRACY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. Experience or a Dutch BriganUne OK the Rift Coast. Washington, May 24. Piracy in the Mediterranean sea, almost within sight of Gibraltar, is so unusual as to lead Consul Sprague at Gibraltar, in a report to the state department, to give an ac count of the experience of the Dutch brigantine Anna off the Riff coast on April 12. The vessel, laden with oil, was becalmed about seven miles off the shore, when a boat approached, manned by seven or eight savage looking Moors, stripped to the waist, with their heads shaved, except a long tuft of hair on top, and armed with rifles and long knives. They hailed the Anna and or dered the captain to lower sail. Upon his refusal to, they began firing and then boarded the vessel. The crew re sisted desperately, but having no fire arms, save one revolver, were overpow ered. The captain was mortally wounded and died that night, and the mate, after felling one pirate with a crowbar, was shot and wonnded in four places. The pirates carried off everything movable, even the cabin doors, and left the ship without lights or compass, to be worked with great difficulty by the crew to Gibraltar.
