Judge Advocate General Swain,
IN his report to the secretary Of war
on Sergeant Mason's case, holds
that as Guiteau was lying in his
cot at the time Mason fired the
shot, and a substantial brick wall
interviewed, the ability of Mason to
commit the assault charged was
both apparently and really want
ing, and he is of the opinion that
there is material varience between
the allegations and proofs, and
conviction ought not to be sustain.

To lose by ones own ignorance or
carelessness is more Notifying than 10
lose by another's dishonesty. 1t is ag-
gravating to lose by both. To illustrate
hew little the law will help person
who does not know how to do business,
and to show the importance of small
details, New York journal cites an
actual case:
"a man drew note promising to
pay 500 He used printed form and
did not close up the blank devoted to
dollars, and after passing it as negotia-
bic paper, somebody inserted and fifty
after the one hundred, and before the
printed dollars.
The note, thus altered, got into the
hands of an innocent patty, who pre-
scented it to the drawer, and the SUI
preme court decided the maker of the
note was liable for its face, because
through negli eence be did not DIR aw a
line between the word hundred and
the printed word dollars
Any testimony that the drawer
might be able to offer to establish the
fact that he gave the note for 500
must go for nothing, as there was moth
ing on the face of the note showing
thnt it had been altered.
Evidence of any alteration on the
face of the note would have changed
the case. Let this be a lesson to ali
drawers of promisory notes. No ono
can be too careful in such matters

Dakota.
OPPOSITION To ADMISSION.


WARRINGTON, Dec. 9.---The friends of
Dakota concede that it is apparently
impossible to secure the admission of
the territory as Il state at this session
of congress. The reason is that a can
Yass has discovered three republicans
who have declared unequivocally that
they will not vote tor admission, al
though they are willing to have the
territory divided. The democrats, as q
party measure, are solid against it,
and Delegate Pettigrew, while anxious
above all to have the territory endowed
with the rights Of statehood, is COM
peeled to confess that he sees no hope
of the accomplishment of his desires.
He thinks, however, that while the
democratic opposition to division will
be strong, the proposition will not be
antagoniged by an element powerful
enough in the house to prevent the
passage of bill similar to that now
pending as unfinished business in the
senate. Another reason which has
compelled Mr.. Pettigrew to confess his
inability to secure admission is the UNI
qualified antagonjsm to the measure by
Mr. Hale in the senate. He has,
therefore, come to the conclusion that
Dakota must be thankful for small
favors and be content with a division.
Gov. Ordway, of Dakota, who ls here,
and will be supported by a strong COM
mittee urging admission does not give
ii up so easily, but Mr.. Pettigrew has
superior means of information as to
the sentiment of congress. and when
he abandons the possibility of admis-
sion, he probably has not done so with
out complete personal knowledge as to
the position of every member OF both
the senate and the house upon the sub
ject.

The United Strtes tariff commission,
appointed last summer by authority of
congress, to investigate our system of
import duties, with view of reporting
needed changes in the existing tariff
law and schedule, have submitted
yoluminous and elaborate report to
congress. 1t recommends some inn
portant changes, involving an average.
reduction of impost duties of from 20
TO % per cent, which, it is claimed,
would benefit consumers to the amount
of Sl00000,000 or in other words,
would lessen the annual national reve-
uues and decrease the annual tax hat
Is heaped upon our citizens by that
amount Itrecommends the abolition
of al. custom-house fees and commits
sious the putting Of quinine. wood
pulp, dye extracts and crude chemi-
Gals on the free list; u specific duty Of
80 cents a ton on iron ore, and So per
thousand on cigars; a reduction Of y
cents per pound on medium wool, of
cents per pound on salt in bulk, and
SO per ton on steel rails. No change
is proposed in the tariff on lumber or
cereals.
1t is thought, from cursory exami-
nation Of the report and the recon-
mendations Of the commission, that
the suggestions and the propositions
made are, in great part, wise and
practicable. If the national revenues
are in condition to be cut down $780,
100000 it would seem the part of Wis
dom to lessen them by taking the tax
off from sugar, cotton, wool and such
other articles that are consumed 10y
ererg person-rieh, poor, men, womer
and children-than to reduce the reve
nues by taking the tax off whiskey anC
tobacco. If men want 10 smoke anc
chew and drink, they should be willing
to pay for il.

The house committee on ways and
means has reported Judge Kelley's bill,
abolishing all taxes on tobacco in all
it's forms. Chairman Kelly is the
most radical kind of protectionist,
and it is charged that the introduction
of this unwise bill is a feint to pre-
vent large reduction Of impost duties.
If the bill should pass, it would cause
such q reduction in the revenues Of
the government, that the duties would
have TO be retained on many Of
the articles in common use, such as
the WOODEN and cotton goods, sugar,
salt, etc, which are classified among
the necessaries OF life. This would be
an obviously bad stroke of policy for
the great body of the people, who are

LIEUTENANT GENERAL SHERIDAN'S ex-
ploration in Wyoming, idaho and Mon
tana laet August and September, Of
which he has recently Gent report to
the adjutant general, suggested to his
mind new Indian policy. The Crow
nation numbers $40 souls, and its
reservation, on which few cattle grazs
and a few berries grow, contains 6,000-
600 acres Of valuable land. 81 would
recommend writes General Sheridan,
chat the government give eighty acres
to the head of each family, buy the
balance from the Indians, paying them,
say, half dollar per acre, if thought
proper; then purchase government
bonds with the money, and each year
use for their support, through the COM
missioner of Indian affairs and their
agent, the interest upon the bonds,
without touching the principal This
interest would be very much more than
is now appropriated yearly, and the
Indians, by these means, would have n
perpetual fund.- the principal of which
should never be touched except by
acts Of congress. In fact, If all In
dams and their reservations were treat
ed in this way a better system of gov
eminent for the Indians could be OBJ
tanned. 1t would also be a good bar
gain for the government, as the pur-
chased land could be sold to actual
settlers for an advance and be occu.
pied by people paying taxes, to say
nothing of the opening up of the coun-
try"
