THE CASE OF SWAIN.

Eager Discussion of riece of Army Scan
daI-Swain's Enemies and Friends.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
& ASArN1Tos7, April 25-AFmy circles here
are at fever heat over the Swain case The
clubs where army men consregate have, for the
time being, neglected all other subjects and dis
cuss only the Swain Bateman case. Around
the lobbes of the hotels it is prolific source of
gossip, and, in fact, every coterie OF men, and
women, too, for that matter, roll the interest
ing morsel around their tongues and seem
to enjoy the opportunity. Since the Morrow
case, which stirred up the service few
months ago, scandal in the army has been scarce,
and this case came upon the hungry gossip
hunters like mamma to the children of Israel
Swain has enemies, lots of them, and they
are now in clover. There is no class of men in
the country to-day who resent favoritism with
such vigor as those who wear shoulder-straps or
naval uniforms. When General Swain
was selected by Garfield for the import.
ant post of Judge Advocate general
of the army he was lifted right
over the heads of number
of his seniors Garfield drew around MIN a
number of his old army chums and drew upon
him great deal of abuse from those who
thought themselves more entitled to promotion
than the men selected Swain was, perhaps not
the best officer who could have been selected for
the position which he occupies, and he has made
a number Of enemies since he assumed the du-
ties of his office. Among these is Colonel Barr,
of the judge advocates of the
army. He had soft place" near
the secretary. Swain ordered him away and
failed to call him to his own particular court.
Barr swore vengance He was joined by Adiu-
tant general Drum and several other officers
who thought themselves aggrieved They OBJ
tanned the ear of the Secretary, who in turn has
persstently snubbed General Swain The re-
view of the Whitaker case is an instance When
Bateman charged improper actions upon the part
of Swain and then withdrew the charges,
the matter would have ended but for the inter
ference of Barr, Drum ct al, who urged that the
morale of the army demanded an inquiry, and
the court was ordered. Swairn's enemies are
iubilant. They threaten all sorts of things and
assert confidently that he will have to 60
Swaim's friends, on the other hand say it is
put-up job and that the Judge Advocate General

Home and take the testimony of inmates and of
citizens of Montgomery county who have brought
charges. Manager Patrick, he said, was charged
with treating the inmates in brutal manner.
Scores Of letters had been received by him and
the committee alleging acts of lnhuman treat
ment. Patrick, it seems, is a strict military
man, and carries his discipline far beyond what
was contemplated when the Home was estab-
lished. 1t is said that many of the inmates have
left the Home, declaring it more Of a military
barracks than place for worn-out or disabled
soldiers. One man writes Murray from Mil
waukee that he was at one time an inmate of
the Home, and had held the highest military
rank there, but had been dismissed because of
an informality in saluting Manager Patrick.
Mr.. Murry said further, that the investigation
will probably defeat the reappointment of Presi-
dent Franklin, of the board of managers, whose
term has about expired. The subcommittee
will consist of three or five members, who will
be named very soon, and they will begin the in
vestigat;on almost Immediately thereafter.

Public Expenditures at Michigan City, and
on the Wabash and White Rivers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 25-From a statement
transmitted to the house by the Secretary of
War, showing the aggregate amount which has
been expended on rivers and harbors from the
beginning of the government to the present time,
the amount annually expended, ETC.. the fol-
lowing is cleaned of interest to Indianians
For Michigan City appropriations were made at
intervals between the years 1886 and 1852. The
work ultimately went to decay for want of funds
for Its preservation, and was abandoned. prl-
vate company, organized in 1864, expended $780,,
600 in pier work and general Improvement The
United States resumed work with the appropia-
ton of 1866. The improvement since made has
been such that the commerce of the port has IN
creased fvefold. The largest class of lake YES
sells can now enter the harbor at all times Re
ceipts during 1882 are reported at not less than
81. 600 600.
For White river the first appropriation was
made in 1879. Before Improvement the river
was not navigable, owing to snags and other OBJ
structions. The work of Improvement, as far
as it has now progressed, has resulted in clear
ing the river entirely for distance of seventeen
miles from its mouth and partially so for TWEEN
ty three miles further. Work upon new chan
mel through an obstruction near the mouth of
the river is in progress. No material benefit to
commerce is expected from expenditures made
until this channel is completed

the first appropriation for improvement was
made in 1872, previous expenditures having been
for surveys. Before Improvement the river
only navigahle at high stages A lock at Grand
Rapids and a few improvements at other points
had been made by private enterprise, but they
had become almost useless. Steamers drawing
two feet now regularly navigate the river for
seventy miles below Mount Carmel, and small
boats can go from Vincennes to Terre Haute at
stages Of water not before possible. Three mill
ion eightytwo thousand nine hundred and
seven bushels OF grain, besides large quantities
of lumber and general merchandise passed over

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-"It is very probable" +"
said Mr. Kasson, of Iowa. a Republican member
of the ways and means committee, to the Jour
nal correspondent tonight, ''that a vote will be
reached that will settle the Morrison tariff bill
on next Thursday"
''Do you think it will be defeatedp
"Well the first move that will be made, when
the previous question is called, will be to strike
out the enacting clause. / think that will re-
ceive majority, and the whole question will end
there; but, if that is defeated, then substitute
for the bill will be offered, the usual amend
ments will be proposed, and argument will
follow under the fve-minute rule. In that event
there is no means of telling when or where it
will end"
'Do you believe compromise can be effected
such as is spoken OLA reduction of 10 per cent.
and abolition of the tobacco taxl'
''No, do not believe a compromise can be
effected. 1t will be cleancut defeat or clear
victory for Mr. Morrison. 1t is my opinion,
should the substitute come up that it will be
very different in nature from horizontal redue-
ton. 1t will enlarge the free list. but it is my
judgment that the enacting clause will be
stricken out, and the matter will be cut short !"

WASHINGTON, April % Sentiment has

seean, who is one of the best posted men po
itical question in Washington, the other day,
"and sentiment may place Bob Lincoln in the
White House yet. 1t was entirely due to senti-
ment that Polk was nominated in l844. just
before the convention met in Baltimore James
X. Polk wrote to Donaldson Jacksons private
secretary, and begged him to do what he could
to secure the nomination of the writer, Polk, for
second place on the ticket. He said it
had been the ambition of his life to
become Vice-presdent and that he had
yielded four years previous to promote
harmony. When the convention met there were
plenty of candidates; so many, in fact, that it
was difficult TO choose. The balloting had gone
on some time when there was a lul in the pro
eeedings. Donaldson, to kill time, nominated
James X Polk for first place on the ticket, The
fact that Donaldson had been Jacksons private
secretary created the impression that Polk was
Jacksons choice. Immediately there was
a stampede for Polk, and he,
instead of securing second place, was promoted
to first, all on account of sentiment"
