Military court-martiaIs have a sum
mary way OF Furnishing crime. A case
in point is that Albert Krause, late first
sergeant Of infantry at Fort Bridger, on
the Union Pacific railroad He was u
rather comely Tellton, with all the bear
Ing and makeup Of first-class soldier.
Not long ago he conceived Il violent pas
sion for the wife OF Capt Smith, at that
post, and on every favorable occasion he
would persecute her with his attentions.
Unfortunate in his demands for recog-
milton, love grew apace until it absorbed
his entire being, and the more he was
slighted and snubbed the more persis-
tent were his efforts TO gain recognition.
His affection was not pure-it was Of
the platonic order. He longed for
paroxysmal kiss and gushing embrace.
He pressed his attentions upon the
young lady, was repulsed, Of course, and
shortly found himself in the guard
house.
A court-Inartial was convened, and
Krausc was tried and found guilty His
sentence was q dismissal from Uncle
Sam s service in disgrace, and imprison-
ment In the. penitentiary for one year
He has just been taLe1 to Fort Eeaven-
worth, the place OF his Incarceration
Handcuffed and shackled, chained hand
and foot, he resembled, while en- route,
more a red handed murderer than Il
mere disciple OF Victoria Woodruff.

OverruIing objections to Dana.
[Fr r)m a Washington EXCHANGE

Somebody Of Rhode Island has been
trying to prevent the confirmation Of
Richard II. Dana, because he the said
Richard, had, at some time or other,
stolen some OF his ideas. Suppose he
did. That is the way they do in Boston.
Pull the borrowed feathers out OF wise
men OF the modern Athens, and there is
not one Of them who could appear in
public without danger Of prosecution
for improper exposure. Intellect died
In Boston with Daniel Webster, Rufus
Choate and Chief Justice Parsons. There
has not been an indigenous idea In the
Adams family since old John Quincy
was gathered II somebody had kicked
Edward Everett, he could not have en-
tertained the proposition that he had
been kicked until he had been informed
OF the fact by some respectable au-
thority. 5s.t " al. aH
Poor pottering Judge Story wrote
books all his life that never contained
single suggestion OF his own, for the
simple reason that he never had one to
reproduction OF Strauss, DE Wette, and
the Wolfenbuttel fragments with his
own malignity. Sumner was a dilet-
tante and donkey, with pretense to
memorized erudition, whose one insan-
ity made the sum OF his character EN-
erson is compiler Of sayings in the
order observed in the filling Of a chip
basket and Phillips shallow charlatan
with propensity for making mischief.
The Boston conversaZiones, where the
elect assemble for talk, are the funniest
things in the world for the utter alb
sence Of ideas and the unavailing strug
giles of the unfortunate members to
elaborate some OF which they may claim
the paternity.
Why should not Mr.. Dana borrow
ideas, if he had none Of his own? What
Mr.. Dana did with his ideas after he
borrowed them, is point upon which
there is some curiosity. Perhaps the
stolen property was the material out Of
which he constructed the notes to his
reformed edition OF Mr.. Wheaton 3 work
on International Law; in which case he
ought to prosecute the man from whom
he stole them, and collect exemplary
damages, and then retire to lunatic
asylum But the publishers who put
such a work as that Of Mr.. Wheaton's
into such hands for annexation ought to
be prosecuted by the legal representa-
tiyes of the author for defamation Of the
dead and blasphemy and sent to the
penitentiary for life.

HARLAN AND WILLIAMS


/
1t cannot be forgotten that while ex-
Secretary Harlan was Senator. General
BOynton, OF the Cincinnati Gnzpttc
copied from the Auditors books in the
Treasury all OF the items Of family ex-
pendture that Mr.. Harlan had charged
TO the funds appropriated for the expen.

servants, his sons pony, and his wife 4

posure did not seem to injl1re Mr.. Har-
Ian with his brother Senators, nor i'm
his State, for, with the aid Of Dlrand's 8
ten thousand dollars, he was re elected.
Pending the confirmation Of ex- x-Attor-
ncy General Williams as Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court, it was proved
that he and his wife had Diverted the
money appropriated for the ekpendi-
lures OF bis department to private uses.
Not only did he pay $500 OF Govern
ment money for his wife's landaulet
but there were many other misappro-
Priations Of Government funds Mr..
Williams remained ia the Cabinet
eighteen months after these exposures,
and his wife was received the same as
usual. Now, the BelknaT,s have done
nothing Of this sort. They have been
scrupulous in drawing u dividing line

TREASURE TNDNE
twelve Or Fifteen Thousand Dollars In
Gold and silver Dug Up Great
Excitement

| The Denison C,esset says: About
! three weeks ago, some twelve or fifteen
thousand dollars in gold and silver was
dug up on the Widow Walkers place,
three miles south OF Denisoh. At the
time mentioned above, two unknown
men. accompanied by an Indian boy,
visited the farm. They had long rod
with which they probed the ground
Some trees growing near the place where
the treasure was buried were
marked; also, a rock on which were two
rings, one within the other, and an
arrow pointing in the direction of the
buried treasure. it appears that the
Walker family knew that the money
was buried on the place, but 10 was u re-
quest Of the Widow Walker that it
should not be disturbed until after she
died. A number OF parties have recent
~ visited the place and the hole where
the money was buried; the trees point
ing TO the spot and the rock with the
rings and arrow on can be seen. The
name OF the parties who came and took
the treasure are known, we understand,
to be the Walker family. The Indian
was from the Nation The story seems
incredulous, and perhaps must be taken
with some allowance. 1t seems very
improbable that the Walker family,
knowing for 50 long time that the
ulOuey WIS DuTleu bneTe. WOnl1 not
have dug it up and enriched themselves,
notwithstanding the Widow Walker re-
guested that it should not be disturbed
until after her death The story was
told to us by three OF the most respecta-
bic citizens Of Denison, who believe that
the money was found as described
above. There seems to be considerable
excitement on the streets in regard to
the buried treasure. Mrs. Walker says
that only small portion of it has been
found, and that she knows where there
are thousands OF dollars in gold and
silver buried one mile distant from Den
ison. IL Mrs. Walkers tale is true,
people who contemplate going to the
Black Hills can do better by remaining
at home. Several parties heve gone to
the Walker place, and report finding
some silver coin In the dirt left near the |
place whore the treasure was buried

Richest Lead Mines Ever Discovered In
the Country.

We have already referred to the rich
lead mines recently discovered In the
southeastern corner OF this State, near
Baxter Springs, and all accounts from
| tnat quarter 90 to confirm what has
already been said The Baxter Springs
republican OF the 10th has the fol-
lowing.
Ever since the recent developments
at the Stanley diggings, the Republican
mas contended that the country sur
rounding was equally as rich In mineral,
ana mat when properly prospected
would prove the truth OF the assertion.
The Stanley diggings are certainly big
thlng, worthy tho attention OF miners,
and are paving oil handsome profit
VINO are engaged In them. But the
new discoveries are the biggest yet
found. These diggings are situated on
the northeast corner OF what is known
as Round Prairie, In Lowell township,
this county. being about one mile from
the Stanley diggings Several shafts
nave been started, and all have de-
Veioped paying minerals at a depth OF
eight and ten feet. The gentleman who
sunk the first prospect Struck it. at
eight feet, and on the third day after
commencing threw out three thousand
pounds OF as fine block mineral as ever
was taken from the ground. or course
we cannot tell how the other shafts will
pan out. as they were just striking it
yesterday. But all who were there say /,
t he prospects are Just as Hattering as the
iirst shaft. And why not? They are all
OF the same kind Of ground, and have
found the mineral at the same depth
The least we can say OF these new
diggings Is this: That so far rs present
developments and Indications show,
they are the best yet discovered, and, II
they hold out, will be the most prollia-
bic, to both proprietors and miners, OF
my diggngs in the Southwest"

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Resp0nsibility Of the Executive to til,
Representatives. Of the People,
from the Now York Hera

The necessity Of an early and radical
amendment OF the second article of the
CohsTtution being conceded by all com
petent Judges, 1t Is desirable that not
only the recognized but the unrecog
nlzed though equally real faults Of that
articie should be remedied. The ac-
Rhowledged evils are three, and thew
are SO palpable that the States can be-
rehed on to ratify amendments remov-
ing thenl whenever such amendments
are submitted by Congress. The three
amendments which would secure i'm.
mediate adoption are Hrst, abolition or
the Presidential electors; second. limit.
ing the Presidency to one term: third
such restrictions on tho appointing and
removing power OF the President az
would secure an honest and efficient
civil service. But there Ia q deeper
question than any OF these, and we are
not without hope that the public
mlnd VIII be brought to appre-
ciate It's importance before the
other necessary amendments come
to be acted upon. and TINT whot % waa
originally the weakest part OF the Con
stltution may become the soundest and
Dest. There IS one point in which our
government is inferior TO that Of Eng
land. The English Executive is imme |
diately responsible to the representa- |
yves OF the people, q Ministry being
Iorce1 to resign as soon as it has for |
feited confidence We need To eupraft
this principle in our institutions in some |
form consistent with their general |
Various methods could be |
devised, but it Is too early for the dis /
cussion Of methods while the Importance
or the principle Is not yet conceded. We |
know that it works well In Great Britain
ana Is the very life OF the Government.
Everybody admits that the English
Government Is more directly aud
promptly controlled by public opinion
than that OF the United States, although
the former Is monarchy and the latter
u republic. Nobody can state any good
reason why our Executive might not as
safely be subjected TO immediate popu
lar control as that of England

The Presidents Fears.

There is too much investigation going
on in Washington The President does
not approve Of it. He is reported to
have said that "the Investigations insti-
gated by those who had sought to dis
solve the Union were undertaken for
the purpose Of destroying instead OF
reforming the Government" 1t Is un-
fortunate that the head Of the Govern
ment should think this, because it will
become his sworn duty to see that the
Government is not destroyed; while it
is for the salvation OF the Government
that the people, as they suppose, are
conducting the investigation which he
denounces as treasonous. There is a
house seemingly divided against itself
here The people trying with all their
power to expose the villafny Of the most
Infamous set Of thieves that ever cursed
a nation by filling its leading offices,
while the Chief Executive stands be-
tween public opinion and the thieves,
and declares that the Investigations are
conducted, not for the purpose Of con-
victing the thieves, but Of destroying
the nation. 1t is strange logic.
