About Dismissed Cases

The court on Thursday afternoon heard
argument on the case stated, between the
county and Commissioners Myers SUNNY
and Hildebrand who were surcharged by the
county auditors for paying dismissed cases to
aldermen and constables. The court init
mated very strongly that the county Of Lam
caster was liable for costs in dismissed cases.
under certain restrictions The opinion will
probably be filed in August There were no
dismissed cases paid to our aldermen and
constabies from November 1883 to January
1856, and 1t is estimated that $50, 900 will be
required to pay the outstanding bills.

LOGAN'S ARMY BILL.
Lively Debate in the Scnatc-NOl
Wanted for u show or
ssCircus.,,

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Fair laid be-
fore the Senate the memorial OF an anti
Chinese convention, held at Sacramento,
California, praying some relief from the
Chinese evil.
After the routine morning business, Lo-
gan's army bill was placed before the
Senate. Logan sent to tine desk and had
read letter from General Sheridan ia
voring the proposed increase. Mr.. Lo-
gan favored it.
Mr.. Plumb opposed it. He thought it
singular that while We are SO thoroughly
at peace measure OF this kind should
be introduced. He had been sorry to
hear the suggestion that an increased
army was necessary to put down local
troubles among our own people. 1t
would not doto instill into peoples minds
this lesson OF force as a remedy for such
troubles. The present proposition was
one calculated to develop more frills,
furbelows, shouder-straps and decor
atoms.
Mr.. Dawes favored the bill. Control
through an army was not the control
desired, Self-cOntrol, Dawes said, was
the characteristic OF our people and would
see them through all their differences.
Mr.. Teller saw no cause for an increase
/ Violence in State should be put down

desirable to resort to standing army for
police, purposes, and the people did not
intend that local disturbances should be
put down by National troops.

ALASKA GOLD.

A correspondent of the Marquette
Mining Journal writes glowing reports
about the prospects of Alaska as gold
field. He states that the mill on Douglas
Island is running to its full capacity, and
is turning out bullion at the rate OF $780,
600 a month. not counting the concen
trates, which are rapidly accommodating
for the want OF sufficient roasters in the
chlornation works. The capacity of the
mine must not, however, be judged even
by the value OF both the bullion and con-
centrates now turned out; it is large
enough to supply rock for hall n dozen
such mills. and the foundation for second
mill of the same size as the one now in
operation is already laying. 1t is esti-
mated that there are ut least twenty mil
lion tons OF quartz above the tunnel
level. Concerning the Silver Bay (Fuller)
claims, there is nothing new. In the
Silver Bay District there are some very
rich mines, and all that has been lacking
until now has been reasonable amount
OF capital to be honestly and judiciously
applied in their development. The sue.
cess of the Douglas Island venture will
it is thought, assure the erection OF more
stamp mills in Alaska during the next
five years than We're ever in operation il
California and Nevada at one time.

THE BORDER INDIANS.

The Mexican troopsin Sonora have their
hands full at the present time, fighting
Apaches and getting in readiness to under
take a campaign against the 1aquis
The latter Indians. says the San Fran
cisco Post, have excited the envy OF their
Mexican neighbors for many years.
They own their own lands, which they
cultivate industriously; they have forti-
fed towns, and they have reached
tolerable pitch OF civilization.
They have repelled their invaders,
not in Apache fashion, by sneaking
into the recesses OF the mountains and
firing out pursuit, but by defeating them
in fair fights Their enemies always
know where to find them, and heretofore
the nominally civilized people OF Sonora
have found them as the Turks found the
Montenegrins, too tough a morsel to
manage. Now, it is said, a campaign has
been undertaken that cannot fail to sue
ceed. The Yaquis are to be subdued and
robbed of their lands, and the people OF
OOllOTd are IlO iOnSeT W Dc toIlleIteu Wy
the sight of something they are unable to
steal. 1t may be so, but our sympathies
go with the Indians.
The case Of the Apaches is totally diff
ferent. There is absolutely no discover,
able reason for their existence. They
will neither work nor fight, but pursue
robbery for living and assassination for
amusement. Ii the Mexican soldiers
who are prosecuting the Yaquis would
leave that disreputable business and
help TO corner the Apaches, they would
be making themselves useful. They are
the best ones to deal with such cases. II
seems to be useless for our troops to cap
ture the hostiles, for our authorities are
too tender-hearted to make capture o
any value. Our Government has reluc
tance to create good Indians that pre-
vents our campaigns from accomplishing
any useful results

THE PAYNE INVESTIGATION.

The investigation Of the circumstances
connected with the election OF Henry b.
Payne to the United States Senate is
nearing all end. The men who insti-
gated it, says the Cleveland Plain Dedier,
are preparing the way for confession of
failure.
The provocation OF this investigation
was the specific charge made by Sim
Donavin that certain Senators and Repre-
sentatives received certain sums of money
named for voting for Mr.. Payne in the eau
Gus. We were given to understand that
remarkable revelations were going to be
made.
The committee has been diligently ut
work for nearly two months, junketing
about the State prying into the private
affairs OF various people and making all
sorts OF impertinent inquiries. 1t has
thrown out n drag net for all the liars
and slanderers, all the soreheaacl and
disappointed politicians in the 'c, and
has hunted down every rumor on bit OF
And now, when all is done, the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, that has been
shrieking "boodle" every day and pro-
claiming that Senator Payne would be
driven out OF the Senate, remarks OF the
probable result:
The Payne investigation is coming to n
close, SO far as Ohio is concerned. The facts
seem to be that there has not been found the
absolute proof of the guilt of the four mem
bers of the present House who took part in
the election of Mr.. Payne.
What, then, is it that the committee is
expected TO report? What then, is to be
the outcome of this costly investigation
Simply what was intended should come
out of it when it was started. The mass
OF hearsay evidence, idle tales of newspa
per correspondents hired TO misrepre
sent, malicious innuendoes OF hof-headet
partisans, OF disappointed rival candi
dates. and the tittle-tattle OF hotel lob
bes and bar-rooms must be made use o
in the Republican newspapers as Re
publican campaign ammunition in this
and other States. And the United States
Senate will be asked to assist in this pro
mitigation OF calumny by ordering fur
ther Investigation upon the wretche'
stuff accumulated by the Ohio Repuh
lican Committee.
Character is to be aspersed, reputation
assailed by nameless slanderers, the fai
fame OF honorable men dragged in th
mud by malignant partisans, in order tina
the Republican party of Ohio may diver
attention from its own venality and il
paucity OF real issues.
This is the confessed purpose OF tn
Payne investigation. This is Republican
ism in Ohio.
