A reliable correspondent, writing
from Rome, says that serious propos-
ais have been recently made to the
Pope that he should transfer the seat
of the Holy See to America. "where
an independent position will be as
surred him." There is no one who
would have any authority to make
such proposals or to give guarantees
ofan 'independent position" if by
that is meant independence of secular
authority. There is no part of either
North or South America in which
the Holy See can be guaranteed any
temporal authority or any exemption
from that obedience to civil authority
to which the ministers of all other
religious sects and denominations are
subjected. The Church of Rome
might regain all her old spiritual au-
thority, all her old dominacy of the
minds of men by the transfer of the
Holy See to the new world, and
abandoning all claim to temporal
lordship. to attempt to give the
Pope temporal power and sovereign
ty in Mexico, Canada, the United
States, or any of the Central or South
American States would be utterly
vain, and could only result in the
gravest evils, both to Rome and our
civil institutions. If the proposals
were made they were simply sugges-
tions by those who see that the asser-
ton of Papal supremacy in Italy is
becoming impracticable.

Hon. Emory A. Storrs on President
Garfield.

We extract the following beautiful
tribute to the President from a letter
written by Hon. L. A. Storrs to the
Republican Convention of Lorain
county. Ohio:
II am admenished that we all
stand, and that the country stands,
while am writing this, on the edge
OF what may prove to be a great ma
tlonal calamity. That God in His
intimate wisdom and mercy to us
people may avert it is the prayer of
every earnest, patriotic heart. There
Is to-day a tremor in every nerve,
there is sorrow in every heart, there
Is shadow in every home. In the
presence of such sorrow, standing
by the bedside of our wounded and
stricken President, there can be, in
deed, no dissensions among citizens.
l can but employ the language of
England's greatest novelist when |
say In such presence, Hush strife
and quarrel over this solemn scene.
Comrades now, enemies no more, let
us take a mournful but hopeful
"N'N tO5OthVi, do we olduu ny our
wounded and suffering President,
and call a truce to battle.' Every
house in this great land will be the
happier if it pleases God to restore
him to us in health again. The sun
Will be sure to shine the brighter,
our fields will glow with a greater
beauty, and if, when, amid all the
pomp and garniture of Autumn, we
shall take James A. Garfield back to
US again, saved from his mighty per-
il, there will be such a joy as this
great Nation never experienced be-
fore. AT all events, my friends, he is
secure. If he survives, there is be-
fore him, am sure, years of illustri-
Gus and glorious achievement; but
should he not, there will be for all
the generations to come enshrined in
the heart of this people as pathetic,
sacred and tender memory the
name and the fame of James A.
Garfield"

A thorough test is about to be
made Of the theory that large areas
of arid country in the centre of the
continent can be made valuable for
agriculture by means of artesian
wells. The small appropriation made
by Congress has been placed in the
hands of competent scientific COM
mission and the sites for the wells
will soon he sele,te If a steady
flow of water can be obtaind from
such wells it will not be long before
millions of acres of desert land will
be converted into fruitful fields. The
soil of the vast arid belt lying on both
sides of the Rocky Mountains is by
no means absolutely sterile. as its APP
pearance seems to indicate. All it
needs is plenty of water to make it
productive,

the Rosebud Agency of the killing
of Spotted Tail by Crow Dog. 1t
is believed that Spotted Tail was
killed through some difficulty grow

Indian bureau TO come to Washing

due there on the 18th inst. Spotted
Tail was coming as representative
of the Sioux Indians, and Crow Dog
was jealous of his prominence and

Tail was to have started to Yankton
to leave for Washington on the very
day he was killed. Crow Dog was

Mysterious Death Of Col. Hanson Brown
Near Homecoming.

Near Homecoming.
Yesterday evening about 6 O'Clock
Mr.. Jacob Brown, of this city. re-
ceived from Homecoming brief tele-
gram, stating that his brother, Col.
Hanson Brown, who lives in Garrett
county, seven miles from Lonacon-
ing, had been murdered near that
place. He at once telegraphed for
particulars, but for some reason only
short dispatch was sent in reply.
From this dispatch and information
obtained over the telephone and
Georges Creek telegraph wires the
| facts appear as follows:
In the middle of the afternoon Col.
Brown, who lives, AS stated, seven
miles from Homecoming, started to go
from that place, where he had been
OF business, to his farm. He rode
upon lumber wagon. driven by
lumberman whose name we could
not learn. but with whom it is stated
the deceased had once had difficult
ty. In the course of a couple of hours,
the man returned and stated that
Col. Brown had fallen from the
wagon and been kicked TO death by
the horses. A party at once started
out to investigate the matter, and
found Col. Browns body on Savage
mountain, several miles from Iona
coming. 1t was lying on the ground
and the head bore marks of extreme
violence. The body was taken to
Homecoming, and the lumberman ar
rested on suspicion of having been
concerned in Col. Browns death.

guarded last evening. A post-mor-
tenn examination and inquest will be
held this morning. Justice Akin.
son has charge of the CAGE. There
were the usual number of rumors in
regard to the matter, one of them
charging the killing of Col. Brown
direct upon the lumberman. One &C.
count varied somewhat from the
others in that there were said to have
been two Of the lumberman with the
deceased, but all the accounts agree
in the particulars given above. Per
sons who saw the wounds on Mr.. /
Browns head are of the opinion that
they could not have been produced |
by horse hOofs, weather there was
any immediate QUARREL does not APP
pear. The luInberman. who is de-
tanned under suspicion, is said to
belong to one Of the lumber camps
near Homecoming.
The deceased was a son of The late |
Samuel Brown, one of the pioneers |
of Garrett county. He was born in
Garrett county and had lived there
all his life. He was 65 years old and
has a wife and eleven children, most |
of them giown, the youngest being |
a lad fourteen years cid. OF the |
eleven six are daughters and four of
these are mal ried. Col. Browns title
was purely an honorary one, he hav-
ing never been in military services.
He was of quiet habits, devCting his
attention to his farm, and had pros

The court finds Whitaker guilty of

The court finds Whitaker guilty of
committing the alleged outrage upon
himself, also of falsehood in relation
to his statement, and recommends
his dismissal. There is nothing to
justify the belief that the sentence
will not be approved and Whitaker
retired to the shades of private life.
But while it is not permissible to
commit evil that good may come,
some of the results of this trial will
be of benefit to West Point and to
the country. although it is doubtful
whether tie government will ever
be benefited to the extent of the
$40, 600 it has cost. 1t will, however,
break up the petty tyranny practiced
among the cadets, and will lead the
future commandants of the Point, to
avoid the errors of administrator
into which General Schofield fell.
