How Special Agents Mako Money

ho" SPeclai agents mako Money,
Washington special: During the
past week | met western democrat
who lamented sorely that he was unable
to procure an Indian agency or special
agency OF the interior department which
would place him in charge of the inspec.
tion OF timber on Indian lands. The
gentleman was successful merchant,
and being surprised at hearing his
lamentations on account of his inability
to leave his regular business and go into
the federal service on small salary,
asked him ii there was much profit at
tached to the position, and he said:
"Lots OF money. have friend who
is an Indian agent out on the Pacific
slope. His salary is very small, bat he
makes great gobs OF money. He
specnlates in real estate and faYors con-
tractors for timber, cattle, pasture, etc.
l could put my finger on dozen special
agencies in the interior department
Hhich have salaries OF less than 81 900 q
year that | would rather have than $780,
800 year. There is big money, my
boy, in this contract business; aud there
Is bigger money yet in having the in
side track on real estate speculation.
Some OF these agents quietly work in the
interest OF railroad and land companies,
and in return they get pointers as to
where roads are to run and towns are TO
be built, snd other improvements made
which enhances the value OF real estate.
There are plenty of people who want to
stand in with men of chat character,
and they furnish them with all the
money they want to buy real estate with,
and the profits are divided"
A scheme of this character was deve-
loped Ia Wisconsin less than year ego,
and it led to an investigation by one of
She senate committee. The result of
it was that the agent was requested to
resign. The agent held on to his place.
however, about six months before it was
officially announced at the interior de.
partment that he had departed from Of
ticial life. II is intimated that he still has
strong tie to his place, and there are
prominent officials in the departments
here who are behind him in his timber
and real estate speculations.

Senator Oockrell, OF Missouri, ex-rebel,
stated in the senate that he would sup
port the order OF Ordinance Officer Ben
ct for the removal of crippled soldiers
and soldiers widows and children and
all republicans from srsenals and
armories. He not only justifies the
order, but holds that 1t should have
been issued long ago. He declared that
all of the positions under the govern
ment were due to the party in power.
Oockrell believes in turning out not
only the widows and orphans Of soldiers,
but the legless and armless veterans
wherever and whenever the admlnistra-
tlon changes from republican to demo-
cratic hands. This fixes the status OF
the union soldier. He is the enemy OF
the government whenever the govern
ment is democratic. He may as we'll
acknowledge to himself that when he
was fighting rebellion he was fighting
the democratic party and the democratic
party proposes to get even with him.

It has been discovered that the act
which passed both houses nearly two
years ago, providing for better system
for counting electoral votes, hes q
serious defect. in that ii provides that
the electoral colleges shall meet as the
various capitals on the second Monday
of January, which is month later than
formerly, but the old provision requir-
ing the votes of the colleges to be de-.
liyered to the president on or before the
first Wednesday in January, was left ur-
touched. Therefore, as the law now
stands, the votes are to be counted on
the second Monday in January, but they
are to be delivered to the president OF
the senate ON the first Wednesday OF
the month, or about week before they
are counted. Unless some legislation
looking to correction of this iscon-
gruity is enacted at once serious results
are likely to ensue.

Chicago Tribune: Ben Butler. it is

an admirer OF Mr.. Cleveland, and has
never been afraid to say 80, this action
might cause some surprise. But under
the circumstances the president could
hardly fail to take the course he did.
The nomination which was withdrawn
was that of w. Heilett Phillips to be
one of the arbitfators in the case OF Sam
uel Strong against the District OF Colum.

The republican congressional CAM
paign in Dakota has not been character
lied so far by any s1perhuman efforts
on the part OF the central committee.
There are many who would like to see
more OF political stir in presidential

monstration and work, but to keep the
party in discipline and to educate the
young republicans to the business which
will by and by be bequeathed to them.

wide difference is that Minneapolis is
the Aberdeen market-its wheat goes
into the -four factories at that place
while Chicago is Yankton's market,
whence il is distributed as wheat and
not as -four. Minneapolis prices are
higher than Chicago prices because of
the milling demand. Minneapolis prices
can be paid at Aberdeen, because it
costs practically nothing to ship wheat
from Aberdeen to Minneapolis under
the milling IN transit rste in vogue.

Island by General Butler for splitting
into the faces of union soldiers in the
streets of New Orleans after thas city

General Butler, as soon as he heard OF
the appointment, is said to have remon-
strated with the president, because, as
counsel for his client. he would preju-
dice the case of she latter by having 1t
submitted to man whose mother he
had been compelled TO imprison. The
president demurred at first, but finally
yielded, and appointed Joseph Darling
