Message from h President Relating to
Custom House Matters.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The following is
the presidents message sent to the senate
to-day relative to the nominations Of COL
lector Arthur and Naval Officer Cornell:
To the Senate: l transmit herewith the
letter of the secretary Of the treasury in re-
gard to the suspension of the late collector
and naval officer of the port of New York,
with accompanying documents. In add.
ton thereto | respectfully submit the follow
ing observations:
The custom house in New York collects
more than two-thirds of all the custom
revenues of the government. Ite admins
tration is a matter not of local interest
merely, but is of great importance to the
people of the whole country. For a long
period Of time it has been used to manage
and control political affairs. The officers
suspended by me are, and for several years
have been engaged in actual personal man
agement of the party politics Of the city and
state of of New York. The duties Of the
Offices held BY them have been regarded an
of subordinate importance to their partisan
work. Their Offices have been conducted
o. part of the political machinery under
their control. They have made the custom

WILD HOG ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

Fort Robinson, Jan. 31.-At 1907 to-day
it was discovered by a sentinel guarding the
building wherein Wild Hog, the Cheyenne
chief, is confined, heavily ironed, that the
desperate Indian was lying on the ground
in his prison room covered with blood, hav.
ing stabbed himself in four places in the re
gion of the heart With the intention of put.
ting an end to his life rather than be taken
south. The post surgeon p%ronounces the
wounds very dangerous, if not fatal.
Thirty. three squaws and twenty-five
children left here this morning for Pine
Ridge agency and will be turned over to
the Sioux at that agency as their natural
protectors.

EXEMPTION FROM DEBTS.

The Springfield Times regards the actor
of the citizens meeting in Yankton, ii
voting down Mr.. Blatt's resolutions, calling
for a modification of the exemption law IA
'unwarranted by every consideration O.
prosperity and business, and in direct an
'tagonlsn to the best interests of the people,
both Individually and collectively, of this
territory" The Times then goes on to ad-
vocate a modification of the law and presents
its points in the strongest possible language.
1t advances arguments which our legislators
should carefully consider and act upon
honestly and with the good of the people as
their guide. 1t is time this subject was
fully discussed and c~onscientiously acted
upon by those who are chosen to construct
and reconstruct our laws. The Times says (:
1t 10 a notorious fact that under our pres
ent exemption law, the credit of four territory,
and individuals as we'll, has been almost
wiped out of existence, to the great hard
ship of many honest farmers and mechanics,
who, because Of this very Law, are refused
credit on the general principle that no one
can be trusted in the face and eyes of a law
that protects them, if they feel SO disposed,
in roguery or di. honesty. Wipe out this
law, or at least bring its provisions within
the pale of a fair standard of equity, and
the honest farmer, business man, mechanic
or laborer, would soon be able to get such
credit as his honesty and integrity would
warrant, while the rogue alone would be
liable to duress.
Another pernicious result of the present
exemption law is the fact that it promotes
an indiscriminste and needless contracting
of debts by that class Of our citizens, who,
of all others, should keep out of debt. The
farmer will buy machinery and give his
notes therefor when he knows that if the
least drawback occurs to him he will not be
able to pay for the same, without exercising
that degree of caution he otherwise would,
were it not for the fact that he knows he
has a perfect shield from forcible collection
under our present law. In other words, he
deliberately incurs ar obligation which he
knows he may not, and probably will not
be able to meet, and thereby does himself
a great injustice, besides perpetrating a
great wrong upon the individual who has
credited him in good faith, %supposing him
to know what he would be able to do and
what he would not.
