Mr.. Blaine has found time, though
professedly out of politics, to strike
another trip-hammer political blow.
Recently the Pennsylvania republi-
can convention passed resolutions
favoring the distribution of the sur
plus revenue among the states &C
cording to population. The whole
country repudIated the scheme as
dangerous. The reader knows that
the revenues of the government are
now above hundred million more
annually than we have any use for.
The debt has been funded and re-
funded until it is largely held in low
interest bonds, and the reduction
has proceeded until the national
banks are being undermined. 1t is
inexpedient to go further in that
direction and now the most serious
question is how to use the surplus
or reduce it. There are articles on
the tariff list that ought to be taken
OFF, such as sugar and other articles
of consumption and the materials
that come under the hand of skilled
mechanics, but this cannot be ac-
complished now because the repub-
lican senate and president stand in
the way, while in the country such
revision would be opposed by the
whole republican party and a third
of the democrotic party, as the Car
lisle-Randall vote indicates. The

"how many would our pity share, whom
We think happy now2" How we'll this
applies to the dyspeptic none than he
can ever know. Doomed to life filled
with gloomy foreboding, he is almost
secluded from the varied pleasures Of
the world. Painridden, languid and in
active he seeks aid and receives none.
1t was for just for such cases as this that
Swayne's Pills were made. They will
also, however, cure sick headache, liver
and kidney complaint, billiousness, and
a score Of kindred evils.

Barracks says that horseman, who dis
covered the bodies, brought the intelli-
gence to Tucson. General Crook was
riding in his carriage when attaked.
The driver and two soldiers were also
killed. From the position Of the coach
and bodies, volley was fired from a
gully near the road, and the mules and
the driver were Immediately killed.
Crooks body was lying near wheel.
His pistol was found few feet distant,
and was empty. The bodies were strip.
ped Of clothing, but were not mutilated.
Additional particulars are expected.
The location Of the tragedy is but few
miles from the line Of Old Mexico, and
it is thought the Indians are the ones
that Captain Black and his rangers were
following. Later reports deny the
killing Of Crook.

A year ago the Legislature of Texas
ceded portion Of the state known as
the Pan Handle, comprising 1900, 900
acres, to syndicate composed of c. B..
Farwell, J. Y. Farwell Abner Taylor
and A. c. Babcock, in consideration that
the latter erect capital building for
the state in Austin. to cost S. 100000.
thus fixing the value Of the land at 30
cent an acre. A London syndicate has
just been given the refusal of the entire
tract until April 10, and the sale is de-
clared virtually concluded The price
named is stated to be Si0.000,OOU. The
tract is 5000 square miles, comprises the
northern arm Of the state, and ia declar-
ell rich in arabic and growing lands. It
is watered and timbered to such degree
as to attract three English syndicates
who have sent IN agent across the water
for purchase. The last agent made
two propositions TO rent the privilege Of
grazing stock or to buy the land out
right. The sale was closed on the latter
proposition, on the condition that the
first payment be placed to the credit of
the Chicago owners in the Bank Of En-
gland at the date named.

Much revenue that has heretofore
been flowing into the county general
fund will hereafter under provision Of a
law passed during our recent legislative
session, be diverted to the school fund.
A circular frou, the Territorial school
superintendent office calls attention to
two sections Of the law, which, being Of
general importance and interest, we
publish. They are as follows:
SEC, g. Every county treasurer shall
keep "A regular account with each school
corporation in which he shall charge
himself with all taxes collected by levy
Of the township board, and all sums APP
portioned to the township by the county
superintendent or other authority, and
all other sums received for the school
township; and he shall credit himself
with all payments made to the treasurer
Of the school township, distinguishing
between the items paid by apportion-
ment, those from local taxes, and those
from other sources. To these credits, to
balance the account, he shall add all
items for legal fees for collection and
other duties. These accounts shall be
kept for each school year separately, be-
ginning July lst and ending with June
30th Of the following year At the first
meeting Of the board Of county commits
sioners after the close of school year
he shall submit an abstract Of these
several accounts.
SEC. 81 All fines, forfeitnres and Pc
cuniary penalties, prescribed as pua-
ishment for crime, and collected under
the general codes. laws and acts of the
territory and all money paid into the
county treasury for licenses to sell in
toxicating liquors; all money received
by the county as proceeds from the sale
Of estrays; and all money for or as an
exemption from military duty, and all
moneys due the county for school pur-
poses, in any manner or from any source,
shall be faithfully collected by the coun-
ty treasurer, and shall when collected be
paid into the treasury of the proper
county and be added TO the funds pro-
vided in the preceding section for the
support of schools, and be distributed at
the same time as therein provided.

Arkansas Traveller.


1t is related that when Tabor was on
the Kansas Pacific train going to Wash
ington to take his seat he met Hebrew
drummer who had known him some
time by reputation. To pass the time
they engaged In game Of scYen-up
The play was even until the close Of the
second game. when the drummer re.
ceived four kings and an eight spot. A
queen was turned up.
Great heayen!' said the drummer.
"Mr. Dabor, visht it was boxer. live
vas blaying boxer wood bet you whole

"How much is your bundle ?" asked
the noble senator from Colorado.
1.-TWO hundred and fifty tollar," re-
piled the drummer.

me the queen which is turned, / will 90

"Tun," said the drummer, and Tabor
picked up the queen.

tourist with an insinuating smile.
"Yes," said the noble senator, II have

mer, and he made his bet good for $500.
what haf you got, Mester Dabor? ?"
-Four aces" answered Colorado's
favorite son, showing the fatal one-spots.
The drummer was perfectly paralyzed,
and was unable to speak, while the
noble senator slowed the pot in his togs
Slowly drawing cigar from his pocket
Co!orado's flvorite was about to light up
and withdraw, when the drummer re-
covered his sense ofspeech. Leaning for
ward he said; Eet ish all right, Meester

The Governor Defends His Deviltry.

The Sioux City Daily Journal of the
3lst ult contains a three column address
from the Executive (who ought to be
executed) Of Dakota, in defense Of his
administration He defends the capitol
commission bill on the grounds that it
resembles that which had to do with the
location Of the capitols of Nebraska and
Indiana. also the appointment Of my
son Geo" on the grounds that che is an
efficient officer"
To show the consistency Of the old
sinner, we extract the following burst of
virtuous ~ indignation, with which he
takes one batch Of county seat specula-
tors:
From the day the last legislative as
sembly convened to the close Of session
but one or two, attempts were made to
override the decision Of the executive,
that the question incurring any extraor-
binary Indebtedness by municipal or
county authorities should be submitted
to voto Of the people. One atrocious
bill, however. was persistently pressed
in both houses, at the instance Of few
county seat spectators, to dismember
the old and well-settled counties Of
Hutchinson and Bon Homme, fixing alb
solutelv three new county seats, in vio-
lation Of the general law allowing the
people to vote upon such questions, and
