Grants Arkansas Policy.

WASHINGTON, February 9.-The
following message was received from
the President Of the United States in
answer to the resolution of the SEN
ate of the Sd iustan: in regard TO af-
fairs in Arkansas, which was read at
the suggestion Of Clayton. of Arkansas,
who moved that it be printed and re-
fcrred to the committee on privileges
aud elections. Thurman moved to
amend by substituting reference to
the committee on the Judiciary
lie said the question involved was
rot one concerning an election, but a
question of law, which was as to the
right Of the people of Arkansas, to
change their constitution. The whole
question was, whether the corstitu-
ton of Arkansas was lawfully changed.
If 50, they have a lawful government
there. Clayton said q memorial on
this subject, was already before the
committee on privileges aud elections,
and the question was one concerning
the election of 1872, as well as that
Of last year. Thurman saiI the whole
matter had better lie over for the pre-
sent. He confessed that he was as
tonished at the message and recon-
mcndations made. Thurman objected
to any further considerations cf it to-
day, and it vas ordered that the mes
sage be printed and lie on the table.
The message is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
February, 1915.
To the Senate Of tie United States.
Herewith l have the honor to send,
in accordance with the resolution of
the Senate of the Sd inst, all the in
formation in my possession not hereto
fore furnished relating to affairs in
the State Of Arkansas.
l will venture to express the opin-
iou that all the testimony shows that,
in the election of 1872, Joseph Brooks
was lawfully elected governor Of that
State; that he has been unlawfully
deprived of the possession Of his Office
since that time; that in 1874 the
Constitution Of the State was, by vio-
lence. intimidation and revolutionary
proceedings: and new constitution
adopted, and a new State Goyernmen:
established. These proceedings, if
Permitted to stand, practically ignore
all the minorities in all the States.
Also, what is there to prevent each
one of the States recently readmittcd to
Federal relations on certain conditions
from changing their constitution and
violating their pledge. if this action is
acquiesced in? l respectfully submit
whether a precedent so dangerous to
the stability of the State Governments,
if not of the National Government also,
should be recognized by Congress.
I earnestly ask that Congress will
take definite action in this matter, to
relieve the Executive from acting
upon questions which should be de-
cided by the legislative branch Of the
Government.-NcrS {, Courier.

In one of Abraham Lincoln's
first cases he appeared to defend a
man accused of murder. The evil
dence told strongly against the
prisoner, but, having suddenly and
unexpectedly received succor, Mr..
Lincoln arose and said that, as the
case stood, he could not look for
anything but verdict against his
client, but he asked permission to
put a new and very material wit
ness upon the stand. He then
called his witness, who proved to
be the murdered" man.

SOUTHERN STATES.

On the 9th, at New Orleans,
there was a fight between D.C.By-
erly, manager Of the Bulletin, and
Ex-Governor Warmoth. Byerly
knocked Warmoth down with a
stick and jumped upon him, when
Warmoth drewa a knife and stabbed
Byerly several times in the abdo-
men. The wounds are dangerous.
Warmoth has been arrested.
Governor Wsrmoth stated in
conversation, that he published
card in the Picayune which reflect
ed on the Bulletin and one Of its
editors, Mr.. Jewett. This caused
the trouble between him and BY
erly. Mr.. Jewett demanded an
abject apology, which Warnoth
declined to make. Jewett asked
him if he would fight, and the
matter was referred to their res
pective friends, who arranged that
the fight should take place in Ala
bamA with pistols, at ten PAGES.
Warmoth believed courtesy was
the rule between gentlemen, and
was about to tip his hat to Byerly,
whom he met on the crowded
street, when the latter struck him
with a heavy stick inhicting a
wound on the left temple, then
both clinched and fell. Byerly is
aged 48, a printer by trade, and a
native of Pennsylvnia.
Last week a party of patrolmen,
guarding Union, KY, against sus-
pected incendiaries, took a colored
woman and hung her up three
times to extort a confession as to
the suspected plot. She was left
insensible but recovered after res
toratiyes were applied. The town
is in much excitement.

NORTHERN FRUIT.

At the late state fair the fruit for the
northern sections of the state attracted
universal attention and carried off more
than its share of the premiums. The fol-
lowing report of premiums are a stand
ing testimony in favor OF northern fruit
culture:
Mr.. b. Montague, of Old Mission, took
the first premium for best collection of
summer apples, and the second for fall
apples.
Judge Ramsdell took the first premium
"a life membership-on nomenclature of
plums, twenty varieties, all correctly la
beled, and three seedlings; also first pre-
mium-life membership and $40 cash
for best collection of plums grown by ex-
hibitor. Besides these he took six first
premiums-$l.0 90 each-on as many plates
of plums, and one second premium. He
also took three first premiums-S1. 90
each-on plates of Cooledge's FavOrite,
Early York and Crawford's Late peaches,
and second premiums for Early Crawford,
and Early Barnard.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1875-10-02

were redeemed at the rate in mandats.
These in turn soon become almost worth
less, so that at last the holder of $1,000
worth of assignats got but 81 in gold for
the whole sum. Let the American peo-
pie be warned i'm time. The faith of the
nation is pledged that not over 100000
600 of greenbacks shall be issued. That
pledge mas stood for years and was not
violated even during the moment of the
nations greatest need during the war.
If violated now, and new issue of green
backs made, it would require only poor
prophet to correctly foretell their fate.
The chances would be entirely against
their ever being redeemed; they would
rapidly depreciate and in few wears
would be worth few cents per pound at
the paper mill. Imitation means repudl-
ation-nothing more or lesS.-Grdnd

WATER WORKS VS.. A STEAM FIRE
ENGINE.

The TRIBUNE showed a couple Of weeks
since that steam fire department prop
erly equipped for reliable service would
not cost much, if any, less than $4,000.
Since that time we have investigated the
matter more thoroughly thanwe then had
time to do, and have seen nothing to-in-
duce us to think that it could be made
much smaller than the sum named, while
there are many things which might make
It run over tbs amount named. The in
terest on this amount would be $1,000.
At the lowest estimate the annual ex-
pense of keeping the department in
readiness for good and reliable service
would not be less than ten per cent, or
$1,000, with probability of its going
above that amount. Here is an annual
expense to be met of $4,000, and a GER
tainty of having the principal to pay at
some future time. 1t cannot but be con-
coded by all that the water works sys-
tenn, provided we had it in operation,
would give quicker, larger and much
more reliable supply.
Let us look at the cost of water works.
In 1873 the Holly Manufacturing COM
pany offered to deliver and put in opera
ton pump of a capacity sufficient to
throw three fire streams at time, and
all the necessary machinery incidental
for So, coo. Machinery of all kinds, steam
fire engifcs included, have declined since
that time, and it is highly probable that
it could be obtained for less now. At
that time Mr.. Roys Cram made the nee
essary surveys and estimated the cost of
the works, other than the above, at
$4,000, or $4,000 i'm all. 1t would proba-
bly, cost less now, but as we believe in
making liberal estimates We will call the
total cost $4,000. The water supply
furnished private parties would doubt
less pay the expense of keeping the
works in order, which are small, from
the first, while, as the place increased in
size, it would much more than do so.
This would give a clear saving to the
village of least $1,000 per year, and at
the same time give them better fire
protection.
Ii the village wants to 60 in debt for
anything let it be for something that will
be permanent and lasting Improvement,
one that will increase the value of the
property of the place as much at least, if
not more, than it is decreased by having
the mortgages of municipal debt placed
upon it. @ ia7
