LINCOLN, ILL.,, June 23.-James 81.
Donley, who last week failed for $50, 900,
was arrested here to-day. Since 1879 he
has been selling pianos and organs, taking
in payment notes bearing s per cent.
In his business transactions he pledged
these notes with men of this city. A.
B. Roberts, a money lender, holds many
of these notes, 200 of which are fictitious
ones, and reputed to have been given by
persons in all the adjoining counties. Yes
terday Roberts visited De Witt county with
part of the security, to look up the per-
sons named, and learned he was the victim
of a swindle. He returned to this
city, visited Donley at his resi-
dence. and demanded payment.
Donley expressed his inability to meet the
demands and craved forgiveness and i'm
munity from punishment. This afternoon
he was arrested on four charges. He an
nounced readiness for trial, but continu-
ance was granted the state until the goth.
Donley claims to be innocent, and explains
that he was duped by agents. Roberts
holds S51,O of this fraudulent paper and
expresses an intention of prosecuting to the
end. This, with his failure last week, in
creases Donley's liabilities to nearly
500, 600. Donley is a member Of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church and has taken
an active part in temperance and Sunday
school work. He gave bail for his appear

''We certainly will do something very soon.
He is not capable of taking care OF him

three years nearly all the old corporations
would be in the hands of the receivers and
a consolidation of the institutions would be
formed, which would give the nation one
big corporation. This would be to inde-
pendent lines what the Western Union is to
smaller telegraph lines. To prevent this
pools are made. Under the active compe-
tition Of the times, the in
vention Of Bessemer steel was all
that ever saved the railways.
He thought that enactments of congress
would never divert the career of railway
corporations from the destiny to which they
are being conducted by the influence Of
commercial laws. Legislation controlling
transportation is of no service, and the
strongest and best managed roads would
survive notwithstanding. He deprecated
railway commissions in general as inoper-
ative, but conceded that with time they
might become in manner effec-
tive. He said business inge-
nuity devised too many schemes
to circumvent Restrictions against
the rebate system, Determinations, etc., for
a law to that end to prove of value. He did
not believe in governmental interference,
but thought that to.realiZe tithe of the
Utopian schemes for reform and alleged
ameliOration of the relations between the
railway and the people, would require the
bringing of the railways under one manage
ment or converting them into an arm of the
public service. Railways are public serv-
ants dependant for existence on friendly
relations with the people.

The Crow Creek Reservation.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The admins
tratlon is embarrassed in the position of the
Crow Creek reservation matter by the re-
ceipt of a letter from Bishop Hare, who
urgently protested against the violation
of Indian treaty rights in the
first place. The announcement OF
the determination of President
Cleveland and Secretary Lamar to drive out
all the settlers under the proclamation OF
the 18th of April induces the bishop to
write that, while no doubt a good deal OF
the land thrown open by President Arthur's
proclamation has been taken up purely for
speculative purposes, there are many
worthy bonafide settlers who be-
lieved the executive order which
declared the reservation open
to be valid, final and conclusive. These
are chiefly persons of small means who
have spent their all in reaching the reServa-
tion and making improvements. Their
dispossession would, the bishop believes,
work incalculable hardships and drive them
almost to desperation. Their case, the
bishop says, appeals powerfully to every
fair-minded man and he invokes the gen
erous and immediate consideration OF the
government. 1t is believed at the interior
department that force will have to
be used in such way as to open the ques-
ton for the courts. There will be no for
midable use of troops and marshals. One
case will be selected for test. There are,
it is estimated, several thousand settlers
now on the reservation, which makes the
question one of great Importance. 1t is

COuidm,t Qualify.

Spec1 al to the Globe
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The latest IL
lustration of recklessness in the indorse-
ment of office-seekers is at the expense Of
Representative Hopkins. The fact that
Mr.. Hopkinsis one of the last men to be Sus-
pected of such thing adds to the apprecia-
ton of the story. The Pittsburg congress
man recently pressed with some earnest
ness constituent for the appointment
of agent to collect labor statistics. He
represented to the secretary that his candi-
date was emphatically man OF the people,
having come up from bed rock and amassed
some means through his native ShrewdneSS.
In short he presented the case so success
fully that Mr.. Lamar said he was satisfied
and would give the Pittsburg Democrat the
place without further inquiry. Mr.. Hop
kinS was told to send his man
around. He did so, giving the candidate a
letter Of introduction. Mr.. Lamar looked
the Pittsburger over and saw he was all
right. Indeed, he was rather taken with
the appearance of the applicant, and with
out further ceremony the appointment was
made out and the two blank forms of
official OathS were placed before the
candidate, that he might qualify in the
usual manner by subscribing his name to the
one best suited to his record. Mr.. Hop
kin's self-made looked at the papers and
then at the clerk, who was about to take
the jurat. After few minutes
he blurted out: ''Look var, can't
write" The matter was briefly reported
to Mr.. Lamar and the secretary, as kindly
as possible, explained that it was absolutely
essential that as tatistical agent should be up
in the threeRs, "and then sent the self-made
man back to PittSburg. If the secretary
thought anything he reserved it's expression
for his next interview with Mr.. Hopkins.

why Men are Preferred.

Wash. Letter in Louisville Courier-Journal.
I asked chief of one of the bureaus this
morning why such great and seemingly
unjust discrimination was made against
females after their competency for the
places had been so well established. He
replied about as follows: 'sThere are
number Of reasons why we prefer men to
women for department work. The first
reason is that women are more susceptible
to complaints than men and lose more time
by sickness The record shows this. When
a woman has the headache, or is feeling
badly otherwise, you are more naturally
sympathetic with her than you would be
with man, and, if it is possible, would
much prefer her going home than remain
ing at her desk. Then you do not care to
boss a woman around like you would a
man. or scold her if she should fail to do
her work. And then there are women who
will not stand being reprimanded. and talk
back to you savagely and then subside into
a spell of sulks that will last several days.
Ali of this is very unpleasant, and it does
not occur often with the male clerks.
