The Delay in Settling Jay Cookies Es-
tate.

The extraordinary delay in settling the
bankrupt estate Of JAY COOKE ~ Co. is cal
culatcd to create q feeling Of distrust to-
ward the United States courts in which the
proceedings are pending. What there was
uf the estate. however little. should have
been distributed long ago. Small as the
percentum might have been, ii would have
relieved, somewhat, the suiferings Of many
who lost their all by trusting to JAY COOKIES
glowing advertisements.
For long time the house Of JAY COOKE "
Co. had their own affairs completely mixed
up with those Of the Government. and UNI
dertook TO manage both. When Mr.. Nc
CULLocH was Secretary Of the Treasury he
was mere tool in their hands.
Probably the true explanation of the long
delay in closing up the estate Of this firm is
that Mr.. CookE and his partners have all
the while been hoping for special legsla-
tion from Congress 70 give them new life,
new lease OF financial power
Such hopes are doomed TO disappointment.
and the sooner the estate is distributed the
more there will be Of it for those to whom ii
rightfully belongs.

in all, helping to carry out HAYES benevo-
lent purpose of aiding Mexico, physically,
morally. and intellectually, and protecting
international law
Last year Gen. SHERMAN took n trip
across the continent and, when he came to
the scenes Of the present war, he reported
many Of the tribes of eastern Oregon and
western Idaho to be "agitated by the re-
cent Ncz Perez outbreak The Nez PcrcGs,
located east of Walla Walla, mado every
effort to draw in the Spokanes, CWur
d'Alcncs, and Flathcads but they were not
ready" Some of the Oregon Indians seem
to have got ready this year, but the troops
did not. In Idaho dissatisfied Indians have
for months been preparing for war, and the
same is true Of Oregon and Washington
Territory; yet the HAYES officials at Wash
ington had informed some of them recently
that they must move, rs their lands were
wanted, when the Bannock outbreak post
poned that attempt.
With such management and with the
whole stress Of army energy directed
against getting ready for Sioux war that
has not yet begun, IL Is not surprising that
n petty outbreak Of few score Indians in
Idaho should have gathered head until 1t
assumed the proportions it shows to-day.

more than covered by the record, Senator
EDMUNDs affirmed q state of facts which
pointed to one alternative the witness
DAYTON was an imbccile or he was knave.
The Judges were Of course convinced that
gross fraud had been perpetratcd. 1t could
not have been otherwise. unless they had
first read the intcrmnable mass Of tcsti-
mony and knew the truth OF tho record
Mr.. EDWARD n. DICKERsON, however, did
not hesitate to tell the Court that the
Senator's assertion was deliberate false
hood. made out OF the whole cloth, without
a shadow of foundation for a word Of 1t.
This audacious and dishonest effort TO
impose upon the confidence Of n Court
was concusively and ruthlcssly exposed
The very letter OF the record was spread
before the Judges by Mr.. D1cKERsoN, and
is now set forth at length in the
printed copies Of his argument. The
testimony showed that the statements Of
Senator EDMUNDs were utterly without
ground or prctcxt in detail or in gross; that
they had been evolved exclusively out OF
the speakers inner consciousness, and could
have been concocted only with willy but
insolcnt purpose of warping If not totally
the Court No wonder that Mr.. DIcKERsoN,
in view Of such performance, declared
that never in his life had he met so danger
Gus an adversary in dealing with question
of fact as the Hon. GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.
Nor are we surprised to hear that those
,,ns.embers Of the New York bar who watched
the Senator's performance, pronounce it the
most shameful thing that they ever saw in
a court Of justice.
We repeat that a copy Of the argument in
the case of BURDErr rs. EsTEY ought to be
laid ON the desk OF every Senator at the
coming session. 1t will signally help them
TO understand the character Of their col
league from Vermont. They may possibly
see reason TO regret that the knowledge did
not come earlier Had they rightly appre-
ciated the Senator two years ago, they
might have declined TO accept his verbal as
surance that an Electoral Commission must
OF necessity sift questions. Of fraud, and
that a mandatory clause to that effect was
entirely supcriluous
