NEW YORK.
A Crooked Trio.

New York, June 1.-The Herald
says William d. Hughes, Ex-District
Attorney of Brooklyn, and Daniel
Gillon and Samuel Giberson, Deputy
Collectors of Internal Revenue, are to
be prosecuted for permitting an illicit
still. owned by Christian A. Stein, to
he operated. Stein accuses them of
receiving from him during two years
$500 weekly as the price of their si-
lence.
SteUort's Wiz
The rumors recently floating about
concerning the contesting of Stewards
will have assumed form. The will is
alleged to have been obtained through
undue influence. and the surrogate
has granted an order to show cause.
The probate is contested on behalf of
l6 persons claiming to be blood rela-
tions.
Another Mustang Eszzte.
The great mustang race at Fleet
wood park began at O'Clock this a.
m., and up to 1890 O'Clock Parker
had ridden 139 miles. The track is in
excellent condition and the rider was
three minutes ahead of time at the
one hundreth mile. At half-past ~
the rider had accomplished 172 miles,
and was one and half minutes be-
hind time. At IL O'Clock he took a
rest of five minutes. On the 2O6th
mile the rider staggered to the judges
stand and mounted after rest of 20
minutes. On the 2OSth mile he again
went to the judges stand, where he
now remains with little prospect of
his again attempting to ride. He
finished his two hundredth mile at
l:5l o'clock. He then took refresh
ments and lost IL minutes.
After returning to the judges stand
several times for rest, at 4 p. m.
the judges decided that the race was
over on account of Parker's blindness.
Peralto then rode 40 miles in two hours
in fine style, having 164 minutes to
spare,

Manifest Destiny.
ICON W. i. Ha1cn's Letter to the Cincinnati
Enauirnr.l
These are the death struggles OF an
exhausted and dying people. The vast
amount of literature of the past fifty
years upon the subject OF Mexico and
It's future prosperity is curiously lack
ing in this particular: That it fails to
place the real cause of Mexican impo-
tence where it properly belongs in
nately with the people themselves. The
result is that the plans and theories OF
all these writers have IN every case
failed
The people themselves, although do
ellie aud easily controlled, are largely
Indian, there being of the nine millions
OF population about three millions Of
pure Indian blood that do not speak
SPANISH, and never wear clothing above
the waist, with nearly five millions OF
mixed races, many OF whom are but
little better than the full Indians,
having but little over a million OF pure
whites in the country. or these there
are but about five thousand property
holders or owners Of real estate, who
really constitute the body polite Of the
State.
To compare the two countries, Mexico
saving that at the beginning OF this
century Mexico possessed a population
of six million, half million more than
the United States. In scventy-five years
the population Of the United States has
increased eight hundred per cent, while
that of Mexico has increased only nifty
per cent, or oue-sixteenth as much. Ii
we offset that the Indians and other low
orders in Mexico against an equal num-
I IL, 4
Der of our poorest population, including
Indians and negroes, in which we give
much the best OF the bargain, 1t leaves
the intelligent, thinking population as
eighteen to one. If we take the actual,
independent land owners in the two
countries, we find them to compare as
Ave hundred to one. Taking the actual
wealth of both, it is as twenty to one.
The proportion of the population In
schools IN Mexico is one in flfty-two,
and in the States, one in four, compar-
ing as one to thirteen, while the indus
trial produce Of two years In the United
States is equal to the entire produce OF
the world renowned mines OF Mexico
since their discovery, three hundred
and fifty years ago.
From these comparisons a faint IDEA
NAV be had Of the relative place OF
Mexico among the nations. The soil OF
the country is unsurpassed, and the
climate. with a few exceptions, COM
pares favorably with the best in the
world. The purity Of the atmosphere
on the table lands, from the altitude, is
wonderful, and ethe starlight IS new
revelation to those accustomed 10 low
attitudes. The wealth OF the mines Is
practically incompatible, while still
greater wealth is to be found In the Gull
ture Of sugar, coffee, tobacco and fibre,
with great number OF lesser tropical
4 products of rarity and great value.

VILLAGE of Crazy Horse.
IOmaha Herald


Among the interesting relies brought
back by gentlemen connected with Gen.
Crook recent expedition against hostile
Indians, and found in the village Of
Crazy Horse, after it was abandoned by
the band, and previous to its destruction
by Gen. Crook S soldiers, was a book full
Of curious drawings, which appear to be
the military record, expressed in picture
form, of some one Of the young warriors
belonging to the Indian band We
have seen the book which contains many
sketches remarkable for bold delinea-
ton and truthfulness of nature. bearing
in mind, of course, that the same is the
work of an untutored Indian artist. The
pictures represent attacks on American
wagon trains, parties travelling along
the highway. In few instances female
figures occur. The victims are pictured
US being scalped, shot with rifles and
arrows, and stabbed with lances. In
some OF the pictures the parties attacked
are Indians Of other tribes, Crows and
Pawnees being especially noticeable.
Nearly all the scenes are painted in
bright colors; the blue uniforms of the
murdered soldiers and the red trappings
or the Sioux braves are especially vivid
1t is quite certain that every scene sc
pictured was an actual occurrence. The
warrior to whom this book belonged has
"a very sanguinary record, If that is true
The book itself appears to have been al
account book that was stolen from some
post-trader. 1t bears date 1869.
