LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 3.-JOhn A.
Neil Of Boston, whose brothers are
among the largest leather dealers in
Massachusetts, was murdered while in
camp on the Kansas City Cattle Cos
ranch. He had gone to the Indian ter
ritOry for the benefit of his health, which
was poor, and concluded to learn to do
cooking for couple of men that were
herding. The morning on which he was
murdered his companions rode off to
look after some cattle, leaving Neal
reading. Returning in few hours they
found his dead body. Robbery was the
motive of the crime. Intense excite
ment over the matter, and the authOri
ties are doing wonders in their search
for the assassinS.

BEN, BUTLERs GENEROUS OFFER,

BOSTON, May 3.-The Committee on
Expenditures called upon Governor
Butler to-day in relation to the apprO-
priatiOn for the Tewksbury Almshouse.
The Governor guaranteed to run the in.
stitutiOn on his own system, if the Legis-
lature would appropriate a sum equiyal-
ent to seventy thousand year. If any
of the appropriations remained unex-
pended, he would turn the residue over
to the State Treasury. If the expenses
exceeded the amount appropriated, he
would pay the excess out Of his own
pocket; and to show that the institution
was properly cared for, he would allow
committee OF the Republican State
Central Committee to inspect this insti-
tuition.

Superintendent Warner, of the Allie
gheny, Pa, WorkhOuse, says: "PrisOn
labor is not worth over 40 cents a day.
When skilled workman can be had for
81 day should prefer the latter. Men
who go to prison are usually those who
have cultivated all their life natural
distaste to work."

Added to the above total (2S) Mr.. Nc
Kinley starts out with a majority of
eight, which would entitle him to his
seat by majority Of one, were it not fol
the twenty irregular votes returned and
certified to under the various names by
which Mr.. Wallace Is familiarly known,
and which were evidently intended for
him. Unfortunately for Mr.. Mckinley
the contest before it is completed will
embrace re-canyass OF these ballots,
and under numerous Supreme Court de-
cisions, there is no doubt but that
enough can fairly and honestly be placed
to Mr.. Wallace's credit to give him q
clear majority.
We are aware that fair and candid
disclosure of the situation, such as the
above, Is not in accord with Mr.. McKin-
ley's present policy; but as no amount
of deception could in any manner either
affect the result or further party inter
ests, and as we are not particularly in
terested in that gentlemRn's future, we
have dared to give the facts as they ex-
ist. In regard to Mr.. Mckinley and his
policy we shall have more to say in
fQtur9.

The taking of evidence in the Wallace
Mckinley Congressional election contest
closed with the expiration of the allOt-
ed time Tuesday OF last week. Thus far
We have offered no information upon
the subject, for reasons already stated
viz: that until the close, anything at
Iainable was but fTagmentary at best
more or less unreliable and necessarily
unsatisfactory. We have, nevertheless,
watched the progress of the case from
the beginning, and are prepared now t.
give what we consider a fair summary
of developments, as shown by the eVi
dence, so far as they tend to affect the
dnal result. Even brief review of the
Testimony would prove too yOluminOus
TO be of interest to our readers, anO
would be attended with a greater amount
of labor than we care to expend upon d
hopeless case. We therefore cOndense
the result of our investigation into the

Seventeen Months OF the DlngIey Law.
The II months during which the Ding
ley tariff law has been in operation have
amply proved the wisdom with which that
law was drawn. On peace footing, the
treasury would be on self-supporting
basis today. Mr.. Dingley persistently
pointed out during the months Of small
receipts which followed the enactment of
the law, as the effect of advance importa.
tons of wool, sugar and other articles.
that the time would come when the law
would prove sufficient to cut off the deficit
in ordinary receipts as compared with ex-
peuditures.
The expenses Of the war, as indicated by
the excess of expenditures in 1898 over
1897, were about Sl94, 000,0 600 The pro-
ceeds Of the new war revenue law were
about 100000, 900 from July / to Dec 81,
1898. The latter item should be deducted
from the total of ordinary receipts In order
to determine what the receipts would have
been under the old laws.
The only change in the customs laws
made by the new revenue law was a duty
on tea, which has afforded a revenue of
only about $25, 900 per month for six
months. The elimination of this item
would leave the customs revenue under the
Dingley law about $1s1, 100000, and the
deduction of this and 10000, 900 from the
internal revenue receipts would leave the
apparent proceeds of the old revenue laws
at 1919, 100000. This is subject to fur
ther deduction of S14,00O,0O0 on account
of receipts from the Pacific railway settle
ments. This brings the receipts under the
old laws down to 1905, 900, 600. or $1,000
600 for every calendar day of the year.
This almost exactly covers the ordinary ex.
penditures of the government upon peace
basis

After trying in vain to secure the occu-
patton of its abandoned farms by foreign
colonization, Vermont has found the most
satisfactory solution of the problem to be
the advertising of the existence of these
lands in such a manner as TO attract the at
tention of vigorous and thorough young
farmers who are not afraid to work. The
number of deserted farms in this state has
been materially reduced in this manner.
and at comparatively small expense; and
now that all sections of the country are
known TO be similarly afflicted, no state
need hesitate to advertise boldly to the
world that 1t has a number of abandoned
farms, which can be purchased cheap, il,
indeed, they cannot be had for the asking.
In the meantime farms will continue TO be
abandoned until some philosopher discov-
ers how to stop people from leaving the
rural district for the cities.

The subsistence department Of the army

Portable excitement by the developments
which have come out about the canned
meat supply of the army during the war
with Spain. Gen. Miles led off by con-
densing his opinion of these meats into the
two words "embalmed beefn Since then
other officers have said that the meat was
not nutritious, that it made the men m,
that 1t became putrid soon after it was
opened, and that some of it was in a state
of decomposition when the cans were
opened The general opinion appeared TO
be that 1t was refuse meat. 1t was not
ordinary canned corn beef, but was fur
nished by some of the leading packing
houses under a contract to supply the
army with canned roast beef. Officers in
the commissary department have published
letters and explanations of their part in
the transaction, and the packing firms
have all come out with the declaration that
the meat was good meat, that it contained
no chemicals and that it was prepared by
the most approved methods
