Chicago, Feb. 16.-A morning paper
has the following: A long letter has
been sent by Mrs. Scoville to Mrs. Gar
field, assuring her that Guiteau was
not his own master when he fred the
shot, and begging her to forgive, even
as Christ shall forgive US all. Both the
martyred president and his family hay
ing shown such christian fortitude, she
hoped that the sense of the wrong
would be tempered with mercy.
1t is throughout a succession of pious
adjurations and plteouS appeals to Mrs.
Garfield to forgive the ''crazy man that
shot her husband;" ''for the insane boy
whom she cannot but feel a sisters
love, ever though he is condemned and
despised by the whole world"

Washington, Feb. 16.-The results

years, since beginning the "peace pol
ICY" the board of Indian commission
ers say shows an increase in the pro-
ducts of the soil by Indian labor Of
nearly twelve fold, and at this rate of
progress, it is confidently predicted, the
time is not far distant when semi-civi-
lized Indians will be self-supporting,
and the few tribes that remain wild
and savage will soon follow their
example.
The report closes as follows We
have no new measures to recommend.
We simply urge persistent adherence
to the peace policy, which means gov
eminent by law, homestead rights and
education.

The editor of the Storm Lake Pilot
is an easy, graceful writer, careful with
al, but he has a foreman addicted to
smoking. Recently the editor visited
a herd of short-horns and wrote them
up. The same week there was a con-
cert given by a few young ladies of the
city. The editor wrote this up also In
his most lowery style, but the smoking
foreman who had been using tobacco
very freely before making up the forms
mixed up the two editorials, and they
read as follows:
The concert given last evening by
sixteen Of Storm Lakes most beautiful
and interesting young ladies was highly
appreciated. They were elegantly dress
ed and sang in a most charming man
ner, winning the plaudits of the entire
audience, who pronounced them the
finest short-horns in the county. a
few of them are q rich brown color, but
the majority are spotted brown and
white. Several of the heifers weighed
ds HlBh 40 HLIeSh hunuleu pOuuuS, hhe
bodied, light limbed animals, and prom
Use to prove good breeders. They are
said to be excellent mixers, and as
high as twenty-five pounds of butter
have been made from one in q single
week."
1t may be unnecessary to add that
the luckless editor had to face a 'tstorm
of indignation from Storm Lakes most
beautiful and interesting young ladies', u
and the foreman has sworn never to
touch tobacco in any torn again.

ANTI-P0LYGAMY.
The First Decisive Blow Against the
Monster
Struck in the Senate In Yesterdays
Session.
Passage of the Official Qualifications
Bill.


Washington, Feb. 16.-After a short
executive session the anti-polygamy
bill was proceeded with. The question
being upon the eighth section as re
ported from the Judiciary committee
and Morgan addressed the senate. He
asked whether the bill would not ex
clude from his seat In the house the
delegate from Utah, who was repre-
sented to be a polygamist.
Edmunds said in reply to the inquiry
that he would be made In due time on
behalf of the committee which reported
the bill.
The discussion on the anti-polygamy
bill was long.
Vest denounced the bill IS In every
feature of the bill of attainder (inhict-
ing punishment without a judicial
trial, which was prohibited by the con-
stitution.) He would not give his vote
for the principles oil the bill, though
upon his assent to it should depend his
future official life. He believed it
would substitute for the anti-republican
government in Utah, the anti-re-
publican star chamber arrangement.
Pendleton objected to the several
features Of the bill, particularly to one
excluding from the jury box known
polygamists in trials for polygamy, etc.
He said that in this bill Disseminated
against a man faithful to several wives,
and in favor Of one holding adulterous
relations. He regarded the measures
for this reason, he stated, as intended
to secure the punishment of crimes
without conviction. Therefore, he
gave notice in these respects.
Sherman said he would vote for the
bill, but doubted its effectiveness. He
believed the time would soon come
when some of the saints In authority in
Utah would have a new revelation from
the source, all would recognize, and
that in this way he would get rid of
polygamy by the voluntary action Of its
supporters. The remaining committee
of amendments and several sections of
the bill were then agreed to without
further debate, and the bill was re-
ported to the senate as from the COM
mittee Of the whole.
Brown then renewed his amendment
requiring that not more than three of
the members Of the board of commits
m%issioners shall be members to some
political party. Agreed to by a party
vote. Yeas, &c; noes, "a.
Davis (Ill.) voted age with the demo-
Gratis and Malone was absent.
Another amendmentofered by Brown
to the last section Of the bill which
was adopted, prohibiting the board
from DISTINGUISHING any one on account
of his opinion on the subject Of poly
gamy or bigamy.
Salisbury offered and advocated the
proposition Of making the seventh sec
ton inapplicable to all persons now
holding office in a territory. Defeated
after the statement of Edmunds that
such an amendment would render the
bill nugatory. Ayes, ID; noes, Al.
Several amendments were proposed
and defeated by decisive votes, and
after the arrangements of its sections,
the bill finally passed by a viva voce
vote, in which no negative responses
were heard.
The pension arrears resolution was
laid over as unfinished business.
Adjourned.

"A HINT Is AS GOOD AS KNoCK-DOWN
TO BLIND HORSE

In the Revised Statutes of South Caro-,
lima, page Alb, occurs the following passage:
"Sec. Ia Every vcndcr or retailer Of spir-
ituous liquors, who shall clandestinely, or
behind, or within any screen, booth, or
other place of concealmeut, exchange. give,
deliver, sell or retail any spirituous liquors,
shall, upon conviction, be fined in sum not
less than fifty dollars, no. more than two
hundred dollars, according tc the discretion
of the presiding Judge"
This law still stands on the statute book;
but is it a terror to evil doers, or enforced
by the constituted authorities There
is an old saying that "what is everybody's
business is nobody's business" but it now
and then happens that public abuses make
such revolutions in public opinion that
swift punishment will come. Do the saloon
keepers realize the fact that they make
themselves liable to fine Of at least $50
for every drink sold or given away behind
a screen? We would like to know why
these screens arc put up, anyhow. We ask
for information. Is there anything wrong
going on behind them? anything of which
the saloon keeper may fe ! ashamed or the
old or young man who slips behind them SO
quietly? We d. not see any screens in the
dry goods, grocery or drug stores-tbe eye
has full sweep clear through, and there is
nothing revolving to the taste. There must
be something wrong in those screens-some-
thing behind them, or somebody behind
them who does not want to be seen We
insist upon their removal to crafty aud-
able curiosity, and to place those amiable
caterers for dangerous indulgencies right
before the public. IF grass will not 20, it
may be necessary to try the rest Of the
sentence. VEItB SAP.

WILL IT PAY

In this utilitarian country, about the first
question which suggests itself when sny
project is proposed is, will it pay? The
money value seems to be the only true stan
dard. Does the licensing Of dram shops
saloons as they are now esthetically called
pay?
We do not mean in a moral sense, for we
take it that no man in his senses would for
q moment think of such paradox as that;
but do they pay in a financial sense ? that
is the question and it is well worth studying
Citizens advocate the Keeping open dram
shops because The money is needed tc deiray

HARD TIMES !

The times are very hard-money is scarce,
aud provisions high-I don't see how the
people can stand it, sis a remark We often
hear. Still we find many persons who can
afford to take three or four drinks day or
smoke three or four segars and We don't un-
derstand it.
Four drinks q day 40 cents. Six days in tn Q

ed on Sunday-mnke....... ............... So. 40.
