INDIANA wants neither woman suf-
frage nor prohibition. Both proposed
amendments have been voted down In
the state senate. The wave of com .
pulsory teetotallsm does not seem to
be gaining strength, and the millen-
ium of universal suffrage is as fur dis
tant as over. Some reforms are prac-
ticable and others are not. With our
present system Of legislative checks
and balances 1t 10 difficult enough to
secure those which can be enforced
and which are OF admitted public
necessity without wasting time on
measures whose wisdom Is to say the
least very doubtful.

The National PARK Contract

Cheyenne Sun.
The dispatches this morning refer to
the report of General Sherman regard
Ing the Yellowstone park.
The general assembly Of Illinois has
entered q protest against the lease OF
the Yellowstone park. 1t came up in
the form Of o resolution addressed to
the congressional delegation from that
state. 1t originated in the senate and
passed both houses. AS the lease was
the work of al Illinois ex-legislator,
Mr. Joslyp, there was special propriety
in the action taken, and it ought to
have weight. It looks now as if the
Hatch scneme had received its death
blow, but there eli, uld be no aban.
document If the opposition until assur-
ance on this point Is ample and in
dubitable.
The agitation has brought to light a
suggestive letter from an army officer
General j. S. Brlsbin. This man of
gore Ia more noted for his business "a
gacity than for ms-tial exploits. He
may be a good soldier, he certainly is q
good writer on cattle raising and wool
growing on the plains. He has done
much to make the public appreciate
the rancho business. 1t seem that he
has q quick eye for other sources of
revenue. The letter In question re-
lates to the navigation of the Vel.
lowstone lake. E'e wants the privi-
legs of facilitating travel upon that
remote body of water, evidently
thinking 1t a very big thing. Next
year." he says, writing under date of
September %, 100000 tourists will
bs In the parA, and 100, 0O0 annually
thereafter. The navigation Of the
Yellowstone lake for ten years ia
worth 81, O00, 900 to the holders and
he adds, "do anything, judge, do
everything to secure this right" The
letter is to a member of congress,
Judge Bedford, of Colorado. Now, if
tie interior department does its duty
land 1t certainly looks as If 1t would),
no such monopoly as Brisbin
dreams Of will bs granted to any
body. The business should be thrown
open to competition. 1t Is of great
Importance that the Matches and
Brisbins of the country should under
stand distinctly that no monopoly
privileges of any kind will be granted.
The people own that park, and those
who cater for the tourists must be
content with reasonable compensation,
and not attempt any gouge game. 1t
will not be tolerated,
General Brisbin ia highly indignant
at the acting secretary of the interior
for making the contract he did
with the Hatch clique. "We
have q rule in the army"
he Gays, ''that a commanding off Ier,
being temporarily absent from
his command, an officer who succeeds
| him In command shall not issue, grant
fayors, etc.. but shall contine himself to
the discharge Of merely routine duties,
This would be a good rule to adopt in
the departments in Washington. "
This Is a very good suggestion, but the
general would do well to remember
that 1--WE have q rule in the army
that officers shall attend TO their legiti-
mate business and not go into outside
speculations, especially when the
scheme requires governmental fayorit'

ton of the Yellowstone lake Is not a
part of the responsibilities OF the army.

Taxing Rolling Stock in Texas

Proceedings Of Texas Legislature.
House bill 156, introduced by Mr..
Chenoweth, chairman OF committee on
Internal improvements, providing for
. board Of assessment and equalization
of rolling stock and other movable
property of railroad companies operat-
Ing In the limits Of the State of Texas,
was taken up as special order.
MI. Chenoweth said he desired to
make . few remarks In explanation
of the objects of the bill. All laws
should be unif orm and equal. There
was no recognized tribunal for the as
sessment and equaliza alton of this
species of railroad property. He read
from the report of the Comptroller on
the subject In support of this position.
The two should be proportional to the
counties through which the roads pass.
Under the law the railroad officers
made such sworn reports to sssessors
a. showed great inequality. They
have reported their aggregated expen.
ditures for building at $160, 000, 600,
to say nothing Of the rolling stock that
passes over them. Their entire re.
port, showing only 81, sol, 900 NOVA.
BILE property, soulless rs corporations
are said to be, was one that should put
them to the blush, 1t was a shame
and an outrage. Even our common
road wagons and carriages pay on an
assessment of S54, 600, 900, l find the
assessment of the Houston and Texas
Central Is $3.50, 600 only. There is no
railroad officer that should not blush
at such an outrage to the people Of
Texas. The Calf and Colorado, too,
returns an assessment of but $458, 600.
The international and Great Northerp,
which traverses so puch of the State,
and has received &C much at the hands
of the legislature, reports that they
have only 1916, 900 worth of rolling
stock. 1 find the reported assessm ent
of the G ,lveston, Houston and Hen
derson, $125, 600. Why, great God!
the splendid coach which the Calves
ton News says was switched off here
during the session, to appeal to us with
their splendor, cost as much ~ the en-
tire assessment of the county.
1.-THE bill has since passed both
houses of the Texas Legislature.

HEAVY EMBEZZLEMENr.

Gilbert L. Crowell, a man IS years Of age
and we'll known as the ex-cashier OF the Peo-
PIES Bank, New York, and manager of the
Talman estate has made an assignment of his
property showing him to be all embezzler of
trust funds amounting to over 100000.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Crowell was cashier of
the Peoples Bank in Canal Street,, The close
confinement of the bank impaired his health
and in 1866 he resigned his position and took
charge of the Talman estate. The property
belonged to three sisters, Mrs. Cornelius A.
Atwell, Miss Catherine c. Talman and Miss
Caroline Talman. Mr.. Crowell was their agent
and given power of attorney by the sis
ters, and thenceforward they relied implicitly
on him in all business transactions. Croweil
became interested in the Empire Mine, at Park
City, Utah, which disappointed anticipations
and led him to use money not his own. The
trust funds taken by Crowell, consisting of
United States, state and city bonds and rail-
road bonds and stock, and disposed of by him;
we're owned as follows: Mrs. Cornelius Atwell
$4,000; Miss Caroline Talman, 1858, 900; Miss
Catherine Talman, $500 total, $6O1 ZOO.
In addition to this Crowell borrowed $S8,2CO.
