May, who will !e remembered as Senator May. of the last General Assembly, lie is now serving a- Assistant Attorney (ieneral. having taken the oilice in June, when lie tame in response to a letter from the appointing iHwer, anl lucked fir tlie f.rt time on Washington. At u aiululatc. his only work was to accept. Mr. May's oplointinent treated no surprise. Xo larre and enthusiastic constituency overwhelmed him with congratulations. but no manner of objet tion was nückened. No one whispered. "JCe don't deserve that I.lacc." The public, I be lieve, is more t oiwiyus of merit tlrtm we itnaine, and invariably sizes up a man with unerring accuracy. When a jTrson of talents in laid aside, it is for the reason that the world at that particular time has no Use for mi h service for that character of ability. Men born to get on in the world get on, and we hardly know how. There is nothing strained or unnatural in their promotion. They glide into plat es as if the place had Ix-en prepared for them, and as if they had been made to order for the place. There happened to be a vacancy where the services of a capable and conservative person was wanted, anil Mr. Yoorhces was able to recommend him in a manner that required no additional recommendations, an 1 that comprises the full scent of Mr. May's appointment. As a legislator. May was innocent of dash or ambition for display. He never seemed to be doin his best, and in private conversation pave evidence of reserved strength. A fragment of one of Secretary Hayard's siccln s fallinn into my hands some years ajro, interested me largely in that publicist, ami 1 imiiired of Mr. Hendricks for more concerniiiir him than appeared in written history. '"There is nothing that glitters or that is showy in the exterior of Senator Üayard. but one communicating with hint can not resist the impression that he brings to c very duty more than enough ability. In wlu tever work he engages we will think him the riht man iu the right place. That is. and lon has been, the verdict of his constituencyapproved by the whole country," wj Mr. Hendricks' answer. That is the definition of a useful man, a man of good Maying qualities a man who gets there and is at home. 1 once heard (iovernor Porter observe with great earnestness that May had a tine mind, and that by virtue of his industry and honesty was capable of the largest growth. All the so reflections occurred to me after meotinir this most modest of young men, and, in a short interview, learning that for the last live weeks he has been in leiinessee taking the deiositions of wit new in cases against the Guvernnient. The Iiidianajolt.s Journal's allusion to the attitude of M r. Jlendricks in regard to the t ranco-1 Tussian war, recalls an event in American history upon which Mortal columns might be written. Mr. Mendrkki de clined to make !M-ech. nllefin that he was not sufficiently learned in the subject to mtelligentlv address lm felloweitizcns. As a matter of fact there were lnt very few Americans of llnglish ancestry, unfamiliar with the (Senium language, who knew anything alvout it, further than bear-say. Tnis was demonstrated y it. r. Mi rton in the I' nited States Senate. After weeks of investigation in the Congressional library, and other weck of meditation, he erK'tr?ited a discourse. What was the. result? He wiifotn.'ied himself and all those who had the m.siortune to near Mm. lie adopted a strange line of argument that first bewilder ed and then excited the pitv of the enüghte.ifd Cerinan-Atnericaii. lfe amalgamated the ci nturies. be obliterated nationalities and M-amed the Northern eean with State lines. r.utn!liliH wa acoej-tetl as sound 1'jiroiican i-olities hv au-'iist Siinators tlie gramh"st legislative )ody in the wild until shown to the contrary by Carl Schur. l.nder t I.e guise oi helping Morton out, he took oci itsion to tos him into the air, und then trample him into the mire, feeding fat im ancient grutls. Mr. Morton, full of fynilathy for his dcrmaii fellowiitiens, and with undoubtedly the best intentions, was guilty o feigning a wealth of knowbilgt; he did not jtosifsH. Carl Sl)urz'.s ussiuned trie nd,-hii wa to 1-etniy, taking a remorselessly malicious delight in stripping from him every habiliment f pretense, and revealing a ludicrous nudity. Schur" motive, perhaps, was to show his own scholarship, reading and cjerience, but a man above running the Intcri- r Department under Fraud llayes in the interest of land thieves, and afterwards prating of civil service reform, never could have cast himself in a part so despicable. It wus reserved for an eminent Indianian to get it back on him, however. He will never b a lofty as he was before undertaking to discuss the 1 -utile, domain with lion, (ieorge W. Julian, le distresil Mor'on. but in the case of Julian be made the mistake of swimming out into the Nile tocapttire a crocodile. An urn it nt Captain under a l!ag of truce wrote to the enemy: "If the great (ieneral the world ?ays you arc, come out and light me." 'J he reply came: "If the great (ieneral the world fav j'oit are make me come out and fifth! you.' Julian, as if imiiclled to revenge the humiliation of Morton, made Schurz ec me out and light; and the victory could not have leen more complete had the old commoner of Indiana perfected himself iu r henrsal. It is not the character of a contest that attracts the attention of thr rabble. Schurz, realizing what the result must be, did what Kverets pronounced the best work of his life; tut the wound were bo deep dopite his skill that his political career is ended forever, lie may be retained as an "Indeiender.t" for sxmie years yet, but further than this, the world will have tut very little use for him. In the cause of Ireland there is a material dinVrencc. We have the same tongue and a common literature. It Is not an appeal to arms, but a trugglc of intellec t, knowledge of thi.s affair is thrust upon us in conversation and in all our reading. While Mr. Hendricks is Vice President of the I'nited States he is also n Iemccrat, and his sympathies niHst be with the party asking larger liberty. It is a iuestion of government, and the old fuecn herself will ultimately Income reconciled to the party for which" Mr. Hendricks sjx'aks in an Indianarolis meeting.

He won dered whv no journalist had ever thonght ot that before. Colonel Ilrooks says; "Ihe same character ot talent is required in the secret service that good news-pai-ers employ : good rcjorter and eood detectives rank in harmony. Mut there are some in Inttli professions always behind and usually unreliable. An efrieieut news gath erer has all the ability necessary to achieve success in ferreting out crime." This might bo carried still further: The newpaiKTs iu all cities have better menus of acquiring information than the police.

Three Township Trustees of Daviess Coun ty succeeded in sellinr .some S'K.,ih worlh of township orders, and now would like to hae some kind friend send them their ovtr:its and furs, as the weather is cooler in Canada than in Daviess County. However, if tbey should by chance get back to their respective townships, there is a strong u?picioii that the taxpayers of the townships could and would beat them tip unMI they could comfortably wear linen dusters' all winter. Tipton Times. Mmiv methods were used- by the trustees who swindled the capitalist mo successfully. The most common scheme was to order a bill of good from some school furnishing house and a school warrant .-rut in payment. A till was .sent with the goods when shipped. The trustees took the bill' and with that evidence of the shipment they issued a newwarrant which tuey could sell by using tlie bill as a guarantee. If the purchaser did not take the bill to secure himscll it could be used again as the basis of warrants l.igonicr Ik-inner. Tle rottenness and corruption among our township officials revealed by the recent eIosureof their awindling methods show a defect in our laws that is a radical one, and ought to be sj.evdily remedied, t'nder our present system, the Township Trustees of our State are the autocrats of their own re ceipts, taxes and cxjicnditures. A SKcial session of the Legislature should be called for the single puriKJs of putting an end to the privileges they now possess.

It is also stated that when Thorp left Iii home his wife accompanied him as far as louisville. He was one of the now notorious Pollard's victims, and it is probable that after he commenced his career he worked Morgan Townshin for all there was in sight, both in orders and money. Shelbyville Democrat. The Fort Wayne Gaette truly states that Township Trustee frauds are a natural result of the small importance attached to township flections by the average voter. A full vote on Trustees is generally )wjlled, except when a general election draws party lines and sets party managers to get out the vote. It is the same, or even worse, in city elections for councilmen. The men. who should have control of municipal aflairs, men of business exierienee and standing, cannot ! Induced to run, and voters go to the jiolls if it U entirely convenient for them to do o. The result is that the public moneys are too often either wasted in unwise measures or stolen by unscrupulous men who get into office through the apathy of the )cople. For economic as w ell as for party reasons these so-calld unimportant elections jkishcss great significance, it makes a material difference whether the public fonijs we ably v, Ivv.'cV1 ftülv V

Since the discovery of the voucher swindle of several Townhip Trustees in the State, the majority of the counties are examining the Look oV their Tru-tee. Miami County, we are glad to say, ha not bei n disgraced by ti e isue of such fraudulent vouchers. The Tri:tecof the variou townhips made full settlement with the I'oard of Commissioners about a month sl:o, in which they were ri'itiired to make affidavit to the indebtedness and outstanding orders of their several townships. This settlement shows a creditable state of atlairs. Peru Sentinel. The Cambridge City Tribune says: The leading newspapers in the western part of the State are exjuHng Mine of the "secret w orkings of the school book publishers and supply "houses of the country, and the ojpottunities given by theiu to School and t ownship Trustees f"or imposing a heavy burden tiM,uthe taxpayers. There isalmos't n unanimous opinion that it i a gigantic scheme, and that the eople who have to pay for the hooks and supplies are defrauded out of thousands of dollars annually by these establisment. Let the jeople call 'for an investigation board iu every county in the State, and thus lind out the real condition of affiiirs. The crookcdnes of Township Trustees referred to in ttie News last week is developing huge proportions, and the most recent developments are iu our neighboring counties. Harrison County has one bad case and others are expected to come to light soon. Three Trustees from Daviess County have become citizens of Canada, leaving heavy defalca

tions for their lndsincn to mak - good. Tlie Drownstown I'.anner ret ort s suspicious cir cumstances in Jackson and Owen Counties which are doubtless the forerunners of sensational developments there. In the light of what is already known there is scarcely room to doubt that this kind of stealing has been practiced in almost cverv county in the State. l'aoli Wceklv. I u view of the recent wholesale frauds committed by township trustees throughout the State the t oininissioners have issued a call for the various township trustees of this County to meet and give an account of their stew ardship. We wish in this connection to state that any impression which may have got abroad contenting tlie irusteeof Anderson Township that he has expended money in an inappropriate manner is radically wrong. What furniture and supplies Mr. Cample!! has now in his possession, all the supplies he ha purchased and invites any and all persons who wishes to see the sup plies to call at the Magnolia Lxchange, and see for what purposes he has exjciided the Township money. Anderson lteview. What now gives promise of developing into one of the most gigantic swindles ot the decade is gradually being unfolded In this State. It is the result of the combined work of various Township Trustees and the selling agents ol schoo: furniture and supplies. 1 he prac tice lias been lor tbe agent to go to the ft utee, and under the pretense of the sale of school furniture have the officer issue warrants to the extent of thousands of dollar in payment for the pretended purchase. The warrants were then sold wherever a purchaser could be found, and the profits di vided between the two rascals. Honest transactions of a similar nature are of freiucnt occurrence among the Trustees, who nr. ply anticipate, in this way, a collection of the tax already levied. Importe Argus The Indianapolis papers of this week give a complete expose of the township order sw indle on w hich a number of Township Trustees throughoot the State have been taken in for thousands of dollar, which the ixt.ole will be called upon to pay. II. 11. Pollard (V: .S ui, of Imlianapdlis, have benn conducting tbe business in this State, and it is likely that every county has teen canvassed. The extent of their ojK-rgtions will not be known for some time, but new victims are turning up daily, and a .large eminigrution of Tow nship trustees is headed for Canada. None of our trustees have been spotted in connection with the swindle, and it is the opinion of a iiumter of prominent citizens that none will le; still under the circuinsuuiees no sueh official would object to an investigation. ivipbi limes. Nothing has creaU-d such a stir in Indiana of late years as tlie recently exposed Township Trustee fraud. One Pollard seems to have teen the master spirit and leader in every case, and he seems to have been gifted with a peculiarly iersuaMve manner when dealing with town-hip officials. The iree trip oi a numix r oi j utnain ounty s Trustees to Chicago a couple of years ag is food for talk at present, and the public t .niincnts are unfavorable to the Trustees. We have made inquiry in regard to it, and have been in:orned that eight trustees went to C'biesigo at that time, hut not a single one Tf them purchased any school supplies what ever, it there have been any cmokc transactions with Trustees of this county tbey did not take place at that time -O'refiicastle Star-Pres. KWwhere in the Disjtr h we print the dtails of one of the most gigantic schemes of official thievery ever uncapped in Indiana. c refer lot he conspiracy of township trustees with a Chicago sharj-cr named Pollard to rob the sixi ial school f und of thousands of dollars. Already no less than six coun ties of equal political complexion have turned up these uishouest officials. The total amount of these robberies to Lite can not fall short of half a million dollars. The Jennings County Hank, which held largely of these rotten securities, has been forced to the wall, completely ruined. All over the State the local loards of County Commissioners are citing tbe trustees to an examination into their affiiirs. I-t Howard County follow suit at once. While the Dispatch does not believe any of our trustees has been guilty of such conduct, yet an investigation can do no harm and may bring about much good. l.ct the looks le opended. Kokomo Dispatch. Judge Elliott rendered a decision Tuesday bearing ujon School Tmstees. It was on the rehearing of an appealed suit ct Union Township, Montgomery County, against the First National lkink of Craw fonWi lie, to recover a large sum of money loaned to the Trustee of the township. The Supremo Court held, among other things, that a Township Trustee had no right to borrow money or give obligations of the township unless he bus no funds oh hand of its own. and then only to pay for necessaries furnished and actually received by the township: that u Township Trustee is an agent with Sxs-ial limited statutory power; that he can not bind the township unless expressly authorized to do so by law, and that every person who deals w ith him is Ixmnd to take notice of his want of authority, and any person holding or claiming to hold an obligation against the township takes the burden of showing affirmatively that the contract was one he had authority to make, and (hat the township received an actual consideration for the order or obligation he undertakes to enforce. This decision only reiterates and restates propositions that liave been a (tinned by the Supreme Court in numerous other cases. South JJend Daily Times. The greatest difficulty lies in the effect that this swindle w ill have upon the good name of the State abroad. Indiana iind Indiana securities have ranked high inlill parts of the country, and heretofore there lias been nothing to mar her creditor throw suspicion nj on her paper, no matter whether it was issued by State, county or township. There have been no pigantie steals from her treasury, there lias been no repudiation of her debts and no attempt on her part to shirk any obligation into which she has entered. The unifonn promptitude of her payments has given her a reputation in all the commercial cities, and her credit has for years been as good as that of the Empire State itself. The fraud practiced by Pollard and the scoundrely Trustees have done much to injure the good name of the State, and hereafter her bonds will undergo a closer scrutiny and iossibly command a lower price than has been tbe cms Li tlie part, Xowasuin mfcn nUJL k

taken only at home, and when it is known t tint they are isned for a valuable consideration, and the fact that they are looked upon with suspicion, will tend to make them worth le on the market, and for tin reason the township will be the lo-cr.

Parke and Shelby Counties the Commissioners have called on alt the Trustees to make a full rejxirt of the indebtedness of their respective townships. And many papers of this State are calling for amendments to be made in the laws governing Township Trustees. The Jennings County Pank at North Vernon failed to open its doois Monnay morning, caused hv it dealing in township warrants. l!ra.il lemocrat. The Pevlew takes pleasure In announcing to the taxpayers of the county that the skirt of the Township Trustees of this county are clean, so far as the issuance of fraudulent warrants is concerned : at least, the investigation of the officials by the Hoard of Cominissior.ers, on Wednesday, last, failed to develop anything of the kind. One of the trustees, now in Canada, told a Washington lawyer that he ami another Trustee sat in an Indianapolis hotel and tiled out a bunch of bonds, went out of the city on a train, and returned in twentyfour hours with from $L".0(H) tO &.'-", Kl in cash. The decision of the Indiana Supreme Court tis to the jM)wers of Township Trustees is of especial interest at this time, when the country is Hooded with fraudulent order, and the holders thereof are on the anxious seat as to the legality of the paper. The Court hold in substance that an order i illegal unless the township gets value received fr the same, and that such orders are further illegal unless the Trustee was further authorized under the law to issue them. Perons who deal with Township Trustees do so at their ow n peril, and uKm them must rest the rcsionibility of knowing that such official is acting within the pro--vimeof the law. This decision was anticipated some time ago by County Attorney McUreevy, of this city. In an opinion rendered to the Commissioners in regard to the right of Trustees to borrow money to build bridges, expecting to pay for the same out of future taxes uncollected and unassessed, Mr. McGreevy held that if such a proceeding were resorted to, the person who contracted for lhe work must do so at his own risk. His opinion and the decision jut rendered by the highest odirt of the State are exat tlr in unision, iind show that the persons who hold the fraudulent orders will lose their . entire investment, f hat they are innocent purchasers does not help them out of the difficulty.
