Until very recently no one knew that a requisition had been quietly issued by Governor Glick for the arrest and return to the State of Sam Lappin, who had recently ventured back into the borders of the United States.

In fact, very few people had any suspicion that he was in the United States until the news of the requisition was Lappin is in Washington Territory, st lying with the man who assisted him to break jail at this point, and in all probability is In custody of the otticers before this time. Lie has been a fugitive from justice since tho summer of 1876. The crookedness for which he is wanted was committed while he was State Treasurer of this State. On the 19th of December, 1S75, the State School Funds Commissioners discovered that forged district school bonds to the amount of had been purchased for the school fund. Lappin was the Treasurer of the State.

The same day two members of the board quietly slipped away from town and went to Kansas City. A party by the name of J. S. Kiddey had been writine from Kansas City about these bonds, which were discovered to be fraudulent. They went there to ascertain who received from the Kansas City posi-mee-the-letters addressed to J.

S. Kiddey and were successful in fastening the guiit on Mr. Samuel Lappin. A few days' investigation proved beyond all question of doubt the fact that Mr. Lappin was cognizant of and connected with the sale of those forged bonds to the school fund.

December 11, Governor Os-born dieected a -letter to Attorney General in which he noted a previous conversation and urged the utmost possible energy to discover and bring to punishment the persons guilty of these frauds. About the same time Governor Osbom received a letter from the Commissioners, stating to him that they were perfectly satisfied Mr. Lappin, the State Treasurer, was liable to the State for the amount of money paid out as aforesaid, and that he should be required to refund the same. On the strength of this pointer Governor Osborn immediately directed Attorney General Randolph to institute in proper court and at the earliest possible moment the necr ssary legal proceedings against Samuel Lappin, State Treasurer, and the sureties on his bond, for the recovery of the money thus wrongfully taken. After this Mr.

Osborn requested of Samuel Lappin his resignation and got it Prior to resigning however, Mr. Lappin. retained as his attorneys Hon. A. H.

Horton, of Atchison, and Gutlrrie Brown, of this city. Governor Osborn employed Peck Ryan to assist tiie Attorney-General. John Francis was ap-lointed Treasurer. On the 24th of December His Excellency received another letter from the School Fund Commissioners, in which they charged that Lappin had also forged school district bonds of Mitchell, Jewell and Republic Counties, bought by the Commissioners of Whitconib, Manford and Richard Milner, respectively, to the amount of $17,848.74. Then the Attorney-General was instructed to begin his prosecutions at once, and on December SO" Lappin was arrested and placed in the care of the Sheriff.

He gave an immediate bond and was released at Seneca, his old home. When -Lappin quit the office his cash account was short $S30, and soon after being released he left Senega and went to Chicago. While there Georire Osborne caused him to be arrested by 'Sheriff Drought, of Wyandotte County, and brought Back here. On the ISth of January he was arrested again on two additional charges of forgery, and the Prosecuting Attorney gave notice that new counts charging forgery would be added. Lappin's bail was fixed at 15,000, but he could not give the security and went to jail.

On the night of July 11, 1S76, through the assistance of a man named Stanley, Lappin escaped and has been at large ever since. Several times he was heard of as being in South America.

Begun in 1377, tho building was concluded in 1494, with, the exception of its towers, which aro now being erected according to tho ancient design.

This cathedral is ono of the largest in Germany, being nearly as large as the Cologne Dom. There is nothing quite so amazing; as a Japanese statistical report. Tho progress of the people in civilization is probably the most rapid ever known in the history of the world.

Current. President Seelye saysof compulsory exercise in the gymnasium: "By closer statistics, carefully kept for twenty years, it appears that Ihe health of au Amherst College student is likely to grow better in each year of his college course. The average health of the Sophomore class is better than that of the Freshman, and of the Junior better than that of the t'ophomore, and of the Senior best of all. This average is 6hown to come from an improvement in the physical condition of the indidid-ual student, and not from a dropping out of the course of those who might be too weak to complete it." In Camp At Aldershot. My friends stationed at the camp receive me with the frank, generous hospitality of the English officer, and their kind and friendly treatment soon makes me feel thoroughly at home among them, free to come and go as 1 please, and to make my acquaintance wiih Tommy Atkins at my leisure.

All branches of the service are represented here engineers, artillery, "horse, foot and dragoons," and all the? varied types of character in the army are to be met with, from the little drummer-boy born in the service to the hardened non-commissioned officer of dozen campaigns. Magnificent types of the soldier these latter as they pass through the street with ringing strides, straight as arrows, neat as soap and water, pipe-clay and brushT can make them, proud of their position and ot their profession and often exercising fully as much authority over the" men under them as the' best of their officers. A canteen where the soldiers can purchase at. moderate rates many of the little luxuries of life, libraries, reading, smoking and recreat'oa rooms are attached to the large barracks at Aider-shot.

The theater or musie hall of the Koyal Artillery Barracks is generally well attended almost any evening, and a good "song and dance' man enjoys no mean degree of popularity among his comrades. But it is in the innate love that -a Englishmen bear for athletic sports that" "Tommy'1 comes out in his full glory, and his officers do not disdain to meet him on equal ground at cricket football, and other out-door Different branches of the service frequently meet in friendly rivalry, and many a match is plaj'cd on the grounds ot the officers club between teams of various regiments or corps, selected from among the officers and men, irrespective of their military rank.

L. Zickefoose, Postmistress. Dis thousands of industrious mechanics and laboring men who are willing to work, but can get nothing to do, it seems to me that the time has come for the people, who are the source of all political power, to call a halt, and stop and think, for there must be a reason for this condition of things. The little time ami space the old parties can spare after dealing out the full measure of personal abuse and vilification that each seems to think the other merits, is mainly devoted to discussion of the tariff question, ignoring all matters that relate to the moral elevation of the people, 1 of the opinion that the manufacturer who, by reason of the depressed condition of business, has been compelled to make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors, will not find relief in the agitation of that question, nor will the average farmer become very enthusiastic over its discussion, with his wheat not worth as much in the bin it cost him to produce it. The amouut received by the Government for duties on imports is less than 200,000,000 annually.

There are about 175,000 retail dealers of intoxicating liquors in the United States, each of whom pays to our Government $25, in consideration of which sum they are permitted to canyon their business for a term of twelve months. When we add to this the amount paid by distillers, brewers and wholesale dealers, we find that the interest of the Government in the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors is about annually. This traffic, sanctioned as it is by the laws of our country, costs the people at the lowest estimate 1,000,000 a year; not to speak of the destroyed homes, debauched manhood, heartache, crime, and corruption it produces. This disgraceful' business should be suppressed and the enormous sum of money that under the present system is worse than thrown away, saved to the- people, and thus a- protection would be given to the industries of this country that would enable us successfully to throw our doors open wide to the competition of' the world. The Republican and Democratic parties favor a continuance of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, while the Irohibition party demands that the same shall be forever suppressed.

Thus an issue is presented to the. people in which is involved the protection of every house in the land. It is not a mere local issue, either, but it is a national as well as a practical question, upon which al large body of citizens, against whose conviccions party discipline is powerless, have decided to vote, and they will not be found halting between two opinions toueniug this matter, but will work and pray and vote against this great evil until it is driven from our land never to return. A Government is simply a reflex of the individuals composing it. we want an honest, sober, Government, we must have an honest, sober people, but we can never have an honest, sober people as long as the Government sanctions that which makes its citizens dishonest, drunken and corrupt The declaration of principles which I heartily endorse, as set forth in the platform of the Prohibition party is entitled to the thoughtful consideration and earnest support of all good citizens, without regard to locality or former political afiliations.

Our country needs an administration that will rise above mere partizan considerations and in the selection of public officials, make honesty, sobriety and efficiency and not service, to party, a test. It should be conducted not in the interests of any particular section, party, race, or color, but in the interest of the whole people. To accomplish this, all good citizens should promptly step to the front and be counted for the right. This is no time for dodging. Moral cowardice will never win and surely never deserves a victory.

Then let- ns look to God for his guidance, and fearlessly and faithfully do our whole duty, never doubting that lie will take care of the results. Yery truly, jour friend, Jons P. St. John. THE SOUTH.
