Wanted to Know About Switches.

A white haired, shrill-voiced boy about
eight years Old, rode down town with his
parents on the Sixth avenue elevated road.
He gazed curiously at two or three up
trains which whizzcd by the one he was
in, and in voice that sent thrill
through every person in the car, piped
out
'Pa, how do these cars turn around?"
"They don't turn around, my son; when
they reach the cud Of the line they are
switched from one track to the other"
answered the father, sedatcly.
"Who switches EN-" asked the boy.
eagerly.
"Why, the engine, to be sure"
"The Indian ~ repeated the qucstioncr.
''Hc must be pretty big Indian, isn't
he, Pa'"
the father, curtly
"Ma," queried the boy, after a mo.
ment's pause, docs he switch 'em the
same as you and pa switches me, when |
don't do rights"
The maternal relative reached for the
boy, wiped his nose, pulled his cloth cap
down over his eyes, and told him to keep
quiet.-Ne1o York Times.

Chief Black reported that the exercise

tie matter has brought out al explanation
OF the explanation, and now it is ascer
tanned from high authority "that the
amount of forage that will be saved during
the absence of the government horses from
their usual stations will more than pay
the entire cost of the trip" meaning
President Arthur's Yellowstone valley ex-
cursion with Sheridan and his military
friends.
1t must be confessed that this amended
explanation is quite bewildering If the
absence of the horses from their stations
will pay the bills, how is it to be made to
appear that the government needs the
horses at any time, and if their SER
vices are required by the government,
how can they be spared from duty for the
high old spreeing time. Indeed the more
the matter is explained the more involved
it becomes. Doubtless the puzzle cannot
readily be solved, and this being so, the
reader will find some measure of crafty
ing relief in the following clever view
taken of the matter by the New York Sun.
That journal says ''Let him (the president)
enjoy himself"
We are pleased to be assured by the protesta-
lions of our various esteemed Republican con-
temporaries that the proposed trip of President
ARTHUR to the Yellowstone region will add
nothing to the expense of the military exploring
party with which he goes as a guest
According to these statements Gen. Sheridan
determined several months ago to take the
trip for so-called military purposes, just as
he did last year, when the fun was gor-
geous, and the additional cost imposed by the
presence of the president will be SO small as to
be insignificant. Indeed, as we hear, Gen. Ar
thur says he intends to insist that the govern
ment shall not be put to any expense by reason
of his acceptance of the invitation.
This is right. The improperly of any other
course is manifest. We hope the president will
find pleasure and regeneration in his Journey and
in his fishing. We have seen enough
of the great West to be sure that there
is good deal more worth seeing there
and there is not a statesman in the country who
could not learn something by visiting the Vel
lOwstOne at his own expense.
Let the last Republican president have a good
time this summer. Hay should always be made
while the sun shines.
The Republican party must go.
We approve of the kindly spirit of the
foregoing. What is little forage" more
or less if the last of the Republican Presi-
dents has royal frolic. Let the picnic
proceed. Who cares for expenses.

disposed of, telegram was received from
Major Maginnis stating that he would
start from Helena this morning, and would

prove by the evidence of Major Maginnis.
The room was cleared and the question
considered in executive session. When

announced that the court had decided not
to require such a statement.

DORSET,S CONGRATULATIONS


In the summer of 1880 MAJOR D. c.
Swain, .. S. A, was given an indefinite
leave of absence WITH PAY. Immediately
he appeared at Mentor, and served as pri-
vate-secretary- in-chief to the Republican
candidate for President. After the cleo
ton and before the expiration of the term
of R. B. Hayes, at the request of General
Garfield, Major Swain was appointed
Judge Advocate General of the United
States army. Occupying the intimate re-
lation he did to the Republican candidate
it may be supposed the private-secretary-
in-chief had such a knowledge of the views
of that gentleman as warranted him in
saying recently of the campaign period
that he and Garfield ''knew that Dorsey
had screw loose in his moral make I'D"
The campaign in Indiana prior to the
October election, was under the special
charge of Mr.. Dorsey. Oct. IA, 1880, Gen
eral Garfield wrote the following letter:
My Dear DORSEY: l especially congratulate
you your masterfm management of the cam
palg and the thOroughness with which Won
have watched all the details and incidents of the
high. Let me counsel you now to take some
much-needed rest, and save yourself for the final
struggle soon to come on.''
October Is, Gen. Garfield also wrote to
MIR. Dorsey:
Your work in Indiana has indicated itself
and s'lencei all cavaliers. Nothing succeeds
like success.''
The public now know nothing in regard
to Mr.. Dorsey that Swain and Garfield did
not know in the summer and fall of 1880.
when the foregoing letters were written.
Further comment is unnecessary.
