SEw YoRK, May es.-Captain Alfred
Aylward, whom q dispatch from London
in yesterdays papers, charged with hay-
ing melted Riel's revolt, is in this city. He
says the the London story, with one or two
riaing exceptions, is,utterly untrue. That
story alleged that Aylward arrived in Lon.
don from New York in January last; that
he then went to Paris for the purpose Of
furtherine a movement among the French
population Of Canada for separation
from Great Britain; that both at
London and Paris he boasted he
would soon again prove q thorn
in the side OF the British Government,
and that in March, on sailing for New
York from Havre, he gave his address as
st. Paul, Minn. The story followed his
fortunes 70 the Northwest and took him
into Dakota with thirty.six armed men
and three mules, proviSioned Tor thirty
days. Atterward it was, according 10 the
story, his hand that directed Rtel at
Ratouche aud elsewhere.

Ciyfi Service Law violatsr.
wAsAISo1oS, May 2s.=Appointment
Clerk Higgins evidently needs TO be
watched. His superior officers most Ger.
tainly are not informed IS to all OF his op.
pressions, messengers, laborers and Others
in the Treasury building subordinate po-
sitions complain that Higgins goes about
the coETidors drawing his fourth finger
significantly across his throat to indicate
the process Of decapitation, and muttering,
'sYou will have TO 90. The Republicans
must 90" But the Republicans do not
20, and Secretary Manning has not only
not indicated that he intends to remove
them, sbut, on the contrary, has given
many assurances that the efficient subor-
dinates viii remain. But Appointment
Clerk Higgins contributes very much to
disturb the peace oil mind OF the SIM
ple-minded people who hold these
subordinate positions, and TO demoraliEe
toe service by unauthorized antics OF this
sort. Higgins b carried his terrorism q
little farther, by permitting tito be known
that he has obtained q list OF all clerks
who have made contributions for political
purposes, and has indicated that q contTi.
button OF that sort was . sufficient test Of
offensive partisanship to ntsummary
removal. Appointment Clerk Higgins has
possibly never heard Of Section Is Of the
civil service act, which provides that Hno
officer or smploye OF the United States
mentioned in this act shall discharge or
promote or degrade, or in any manner
change the official rank or compensation
OF any other officer or employe. or promise
or threaten to do 50, for giving or with
holding or neglectipg TO make any contri.
button Of money or other valuable thing
for any political purpose"
II the conduct Of Appointment Clerk
Higgins is such as hss been described,
and as it is quite generally reported in the
Treasury to be, it seems pretty clear that
3Ir. Higgins by his threats is violating the
section Just quoted. He Is certainty re-
ported as having threatened to discharge
employees for giving contributions Of
money for political purposes. Mr. Hig-
gins IS curious person. He has little
power. He cannot in fact appoint or re-
move any one, but ne can frighten good
many people by walking up and down the
corridors with his fingers on his
throat. e

among both manufacturers and working

Europe. And yet there are tens Ct
thousands o; laborers thrown out OF
employment at this time because they
will not accept the terms Of "pro-
tectedp mines and manufactures. AS
fair sample Of how the tariff permits
American monopolists to rob the gem
eral public, and the laborer as well,
while demanding protection for Amer
lean Industry" attention Is being
directed TO the fact that among the
articles most protected by the existing
protective tariff are shirts. And yet
the shirt manufacturers of New York
compel their women employees to
make shirts for them at the rate Of
thirty-two cents per dozen. In the
name of protection to American labor,
American monopolists are permitted
to rob labor and labor sustsins the
outrage.

A NAw stata Cnnital.

The administration of Gov. Roberts,
In their desire to locate at Austin a
great amount of state property, which
was also indirectly for the purpose OF
preventing any possibility of the di-
vision OF the state, succeeded admir-
ably In trading oil a large body OF state
land for hole in the ground and n
tolerably tEir foundation for very
large building. The capitol and the
convict labor question will add consid-
erably to the issues OF the next state
election, - San Antonio Light.
If the Light means to say that Prof.
Roberts, while governor of Texas,
went out OF his way to provide for a
new state capitol, the Light does the
Old Alcalde injustice. The constitution
of the state made II obligatory on the
state government to build new state
capitol. Section 81, article xvi, says,
"rhree million acres of the public do
main are hereby appropriated and
set apart for the purpose OF erecting 8
new state capitol and other necessary
public buildings ut the seat OF govern
ment, said lands to be sold un der tn,
direction of the legislature; and the
legislature shall pass suitable laws I,
carry this section into effect"

them are prepared to store the ire

One Reason Assigned.
AN ANTONIO EIpress.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE is puzzled
over matter that has puzzled the peo-
pie in many other communities in
this state. AT the present term of the
court in that county James Riley, on
trial for murder, was found guilty OF
manslaughter and sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary, while Stew.
art Brockman was given three years
for stealing pistol. The only reason.
able way to account for IL Is that some
Jurors are themselves 80 worthless
that, realizing the fact, and Judging
others by their own standard, they
consider six-shooter of more value
than human life.

THE report Of Joseph Nimmo. Jr.,

mands onr respect by it's substantial
merits - Houston Post.
Since Mr.. Nlmmo is radically and
unalterably opposed to the lease of
public lands to cattle corporations, as
tending to produce dangerous monop-
olies, 1t is fair to assume that there has
been another decided revision of states
manship right here In Texas.

The Lease Law.
Colorado Clipper.


Perhaps the Reporter could tell how
many leasers OF Martin and Midland
county lands live in those counties?
We can inform the Reporter that there
are not dozen residents OF the two
counties that are leasers. The class
of people who have settled these
counties are purchasers OF the sell on
which they live. The leasing system
has never brought an immigrant to
West Texas. This the Reporter well
knows, but, on the contrary, has KEEP;
hundreds away. Do away with the
leasing system and put all the lands
on the market, aud such a flow OF i'm
migration to this country will be un
paralleled. Had 1t not been for tn,
lease law the trade of Abilene as wei
as all other towns in West Texas
would be double what 1t now is. Thi
fact ia too plain to admit of discussion

What the Question Was.

In coming to n decision on the cap
itol matter it was not question as to
whether stone Of equal merit with the
Bedford product might not be found
in Texas. The issue before the board
was whether superior stone from In
diana should be accepted in lieu OF an
inferior article from Texas quarry.
That was the proposition of the con-
tractors, aud the only thing left for
the board to do was to answer
yes or no. IL the latter course
had been adopted the syndicate could
have gone ahead with the contract
and material would have been used
of a conclusion strength equal to one
half OF that of the Indiana stone, and
which, added to its other infirmities,
badly discolors. Such result, we be-
lieve, would not have been sanctioned
by the people of Texas.

A Queer Result.

The jury in the Heron murder case
at Fort Worth failed to agree and were
discharged. To the ordinary news
paper reader this seems TO be singu-
lar result. A man crazed with liquor
went into drug store where the pro-
prletor was quietly sitting, and, with
out word of warning or provocation
stabbed his victim to the heart. The
jury was made up on the plan of ex.
Guiding everybody who had read about
the case--or was honest enough to say
that he had done so-and the onus Of
such verdict must rest with the law
and the legislature.
