ENO Estimates.

In a recent issue of the Texarkaua
Times, there appears i'll the same col
umn the following estimates of our
senator's at Washington. Coke is hit
of as follows;
Whenever Senator Coke thinks the
people of any portion of Texas needs
anything, he L. The very first man to
make All effort TO have their needs
supplied. 1t makes no difference
whether he thinks measure is popu-
lar or unpopular, if he believes that
the best interests OF his constituency
demand 1t, he is going to vote for
and try to push the measure through.
RiChard Coke Knows no north, II o
south, no east ana no west He is
there III the interest OF all the people le
the plsin people and he is never
asleep 10 the public veal Coke is a
grand man-a patriot
And Reagan thus:
The man who would advocate a
measure MI his llte-until he is nearly
seventy years of age and then flop as
lteagan did, because he didn't expect
TO want any more offices in life, is the
most arrant OF dcmagOgues, and you
can bet he would be 7helved now il
the people of Texas only had chance
ut him.

Great Britain and ireland are large
consumers of western wheat as well
as of southern cotton and but for the
tact that New England has moved
almost en- masse with its tariff ideas
TO the northeast, that section would be
as strong for free trade as is the
south. In the last fifteen years the
nited States have shipped to Great
Britain and Ireland 929 $3.50 S38 bushels
o. wheat The trtal imports of wheat
TO the nited Kingdoms during the
same period were 1918 ,S4S, 575 bushels.
So ii appears that over halt the wheat
consumed III the British Isles is
grown in the United States. Yet the
producers of this wheat are debarred
from the right to buy in the market
when they sell. A similar deprivation
Is largely the cause OF the poverty OF
the cotton south; and the rise and
spread OF the mortgage companies in
the northwest indicate approaching
bankruptcy throughout the wheat
growing section.

ed to Mr. Sanger as the assignee OF

office. We spoke only upon the In

very late hour, the truth of which
WAS din cult to ascertain, but having
pertect confidence in Mr.. Sanger's
/ integrity, we stated yesterday our be-
| lief that Mr.. SANGER would rather
lose the III )ney he I'D staked on
Mr.. Crisp than 10 see the men who
| had worked on and maintained the
paper suffer- Such, Mr.. Sanger as
serts, is the case, but upon investiga-
ton We find he is only acting ss trus-
tee for the sixteen gentlemen who cr-
dorsed Mr.. Crisp's paper to Col. Bar
tow aud to whom Mr.. Crisp has at
'ompt9d to assign the accounts OF lHE
EXAMINER in which he has no earthly
! interest. OF course these gentle
men are iustiliable i'll using any
honorable means to protect
themselves from loss. Though
they should not complain at any loss
they may sustain, hut remembering
this is the era Of immigration they
should console themselves with the
thought that they have contributed
this much TO the cause. But when it
is understood that Mr.. Crisp had in
duced working men, little able to
lose days wages, to continue i'll his
service, and numerous citizens to adj
vance money to carry Oh his paper,
had then turned around and by assign
ing the earnings OF that paper, at
tempted to defrsud these men who had
given him this labor and money, 1T
will be hard to convince the people
that his ideas of moral rectitude are
entirely corNct. The EXAMINER has
! ample accounts to meet its current
liabilities, but if prevented from do
ing so bv having them tied up for no
o! her reason than to cripple the pres
ent management the responsibility
must rest where it belongs.

a HORRIBLE STORY FROM DAKOTA

For months a certain degree of mys-
terry has surrounded the movements OF
John Lablant, a Sioux Indian half
breed. on a ranch at Willow creek, 10
miles west of Pierre, Dakota. Lab
lants ranch was formerly the stopping
place of Black Hills travellers. Many
people who left Pierre for the hills
were never heard from after leaving
the city. y few days ago Lablant was
detected in cattle stealing. y posse
of men organized al Fort Pierre to go
out and take the cattle. Upon reach
ing the ranch Lablant was not TO be
found. Friday the sheriff of the county
and a number of citizens proceeded to
the ranch TO make thorough inves-
tigation of the premises. In one room
of the house in front of a bed was OBJ
served what appeared 70 be an open
ing or trap door. With an axe this
was pried open, and found TO hang on
hinges, so it would drop when a cord
was pulled, the cord extended from
bolt under the door TO the room occu-
pied by Lablant. Opening the entire
trap it was found to be ~ feet deep
and IA feet square. Ladders and Ian
terms were secured and an examina-
ton of the cave was made. As soon
as the trap was dropped the stencil
that arose was terrible. The eXami-
nation of the cavern revealed the
skeletons of 10 grown human beings
and two smaller ones. No clothing
was found in the hole The only ar
ticle of any kind was an iron bar
about two feet in length, which it is
supposed the fiend used to murder his
victims after he had dropped them
into this hole The ranch is in alonely
spot on the bank of a creek 10 miles
from any other human habitation.
Lablant has not been seen for several
days.
