The discharge of K. b. Hayes, postal
clerk, arrested at Fort Worth on tele-
gram and brought to this city, charged
with mutilating postal property, was
dismissed by the federal commissioner
yesterday, no testimony being produced
against him, whatever. The case, as
far as appears on the surface. is one Of
extreme hardship and great injustice.
The stigma put upon young man in this
manner Is an offense that should not be
condoned. Whoever is responsible for
this unwsrranted arrest should be made
to suffer the full extent of such damages
as the law allows. A mans capital is
his character, and this thing of irres-
ponsible arrest Is getting quite too COM
mon. Too much vigilance cannot be
shown in bringing the betrayers Of pub
lie trust. and defaulters Of every stamp,
to Justice; but, let 1t be reasonably GER
tain that some crime has been commit
ted before arrests are ordered and man
branded from one end of the country to
another as criminal. In this case not
one iota of evidence has been offered
against Mr.. Hayes, and yet he has been
branded as violater Of law from one
end of Texas TO another. Such outrages
in the name Of law should not go un-
Dunished,

Mexican Hospitality and Etiquette.
The next hating place was ri Pilas, Q
small hacienna in the midst OF dense
woods. A servant had been sent forward
to crave shelter for the party over night,
and We found the family assembled at the
gate to receive us, and dinner smoking on
the table. The hospitality Of these good
people knows no bounds, and their
generosity is equaled only by their con-
tidence In stranger guests and the exceed
ing beauty of their manners. The innate
politeness of the race shows itself i'm every
movement, and the most poor and ignor-
ant Indian has an obeisance of command
and well-turned compliment at the end
OF his tongue, whose grace an American
could not initiate though he tried a life
time.

stance connected with the table etiquette
of this place which led us into a number
of embarrassing mistakes-for nothing can
be more annoying than to find oneself
guilty of irreyerence during prayer time.

his own for saying grace, with which
we were not familiar. and therefore

WORK on the Montana Central rail-
way, extending from Helena to4Great
Falls, is progressing rapidly. The
Northern Pacific and Gov. Hauser
will build over the same territory, be-
tween the same points. What good
can result from this Ii hard to con-
ceive. The Northern Pacific has for
the past two years been considering
whether 1t should extend to the Mis-.
souri's Great Falls or not, but immedi.
ateIy ON perceiving that the Montana
Central was genuine corporation
with plenty of capital backing 1t, Its
time for consideration expired, and
arrangements were at once COM
menced by il to build line that will
parallel the Montana Central. Mon
tana wants railways and offers every
inducement TO new companies to
build, but she is only In an incipient
state yet, ard cannot provide business
sufficient to support opposing COM
panies, especially in the region these
two lines will traverse. It would be
much better for the future prosperity
and development of the northern por-
ton Of Montana were these lines to
build farther apart and give service to
o larger area Of country.

The Guanches Of TsnerifYe Island.

When the Spaniard discovered Tener-
life in 1884 its people were cave-dwellers.
They were known by the name Of
Guanches and were a simple, trusting
folk, of whom the enterprising Spaniards
made short work, much as he did some
years later Of the Mexicans and the Peru
vians in the western world. The Guanches
practiced the art Of embalming their
dead, wrapping them in tanned goat
skins and laying them away in the quiet
caves. Many Of them have since been
brought to light and some preserved. A
few are now TO be seen in private mu.
scum on the island, the property Of a
gentleman who takes interest in such
things. But generally when they have
been found by the peasants they have
been wantonly destroyed rs objects OF
superstitious fear. And indeed hardly
wonder: for a mummy is certainly q
gruesome thing.
Not all the Guanches, however, were
mummified. A remnant were absorbed
by the Spaniards and intermarriages took
place, and in some parts OF the island
their lineaments are still 10 be traced

THE plan laid before the British
Parliament for an adjustment Of Irish
affairs, is undoubtedly the best that
was ever proposed. Mr.. Gladstone is
the only man in the cabinet who thor
oughly understands Irish affairs, and
whatever policy he suggests as being
the best to bring about peaceful set
Element Of all controversies, and sat
isfy the people Of Ireland, should be
acted upon. The scene in the House
Of Commons before Mr.. Gladstone
made his appearance, was busy one.
The Parnellites were first in the ring,
and when Gladstone announced that
the problem before Parliament was to
reconcile imperial unity with the
diversity Of legislatures, and that he
believed the government had found
the solution of this problem in the
establishment Of a parliament at Dub
lin for the conduct of business, both
legislative and administrative. the Par
nellites showed their satisfaction with
loud cheers. In dong this. however,
Mr.. Gladstone must observe the prac-
tical equity Of the three countries, by
making an equitable distribution Of
the imperial funds. The peculiar cir
cumstances existing in Ireland make
IL necessary TO establish safeguards for
the minority of that country. The gov
eminent will be obliged to consider
the class connected with the land and
the relations they will sustain with
the Protestant minority.
