Just ct this juncture Clerk Moffett

President Cleveland Appears to Have
Helped Some Timber Soecusators.
Washington, April 29-It looks very
much to the average spectator at the
Chippewa timber investigation as if the
greedy contractors after the pine on the
reservations under the charge OF the late
agent Gregory had succeeded In drawing
Mr.. Cleveland into their net to keep
company with Gen. Atkins and Mr..
Villas. 1t Is nearly year since che
Dawes allotment act went into effect,
and, in letter written in June last, Mr..
Atkins stated chat as the attorney gen.
eral had interpreted the act nc more
allotnents could be made OF lands on
the Chippewa reservation in Wisconsin
and Minnesota except under the provi-
sions of she act and by the agent sssls-
ted by q special agent. For some reason
the Indian Office put off She appointing
special agent for the Chippewa raser-
walton until November. Hon. Tom Wall
OF Oshkosh was appointed special agent
for she Ohippewas but did not recelve
his instructions until Dec. 9th Lost.
Meantime several contractors, very any
ious to get on the FIambeau reservation,
had induced Gregory TO send forward
Bixty-seyen selections which aiiottees
had made for approval, although the
special agent bad not bean near the
| reservation. When these selections
reached Mr.. Cleveland he unhesitat atingly
| approved these sixty-seYen contracts,
part on Nov. 20, 1887, and part on Jan.
2, 1888. The contracts for timber let on
| these allotmepss did not arrive here for
approval until February, although out
ting had been going on SINCE early in
the winter. Mr.. Cleveland did not stop
to inquire why, it there was pressing
necessity for the contracting OF this tim
Der on the FIsmbeau on which none had
previously been cut, the special agent
had not been appointed earlier in Che
season when he could have done some
work. Instead OF this, Mr.. Cleveland
Ignored the new allotment law under
which the Indians should have had i6O
aoree, approved those allotnents under
the old treaty whereby the Indians got
but eighty ncres. The same thing was
done on the Fond du Lac reservation in
Minnesota to help out the contractors
Ii was also attempted on the Lao Court
| Oreille reservation. Out OF 500 contracts
which Gregory approved and sent down
here on the Lac Court Oreille reserve 2l7
were on lands not allotted. All this was
10 direct violation of law and regulation.

The Vicious and Useless Dog.

Stephen w. Treadwell lives on a
canal boat at the foot of Henderson
street in Jersey City. He has fond
ness for dogs, and keeps number of
vicious brutes on his grounds. Thomas
Malone, the five-years old son of a
canaler, whose boat lies near Tread
wells, was sent out by his mother a
recent morning on an errand. One OF
Treadwell's dogs sprang on him and
bore him to the ground. Five others
of the brutes sprang to the little one,
and plunged their teeth into the flesh
of his face and shoulders. The child's
cries summoned his mother, and with
a number of men who were busy near
by, she ran to the rescue. The child
was taken from the dogs, but not till
he had been terribly lacerated. One
of his ears was bitten off, and his face
and neck showed numberless marks of
the dogs teeth. Officer Mcbride kill
ed the six animals. The condition of
the boy is critical.

Judge Gresham, who, by the way, is
also a general, was at one period of his
military career placed under arrest
and deprived of his sword by his i'm
mediate commanding officer. 1t was
during the Yicksburg campaign. He
was then colonel of the sd Indiana.
1t was a gentle day in May, and the
opening rush and roar of battle were
startling and pOrtentous. Without OIL
ders, in the spirit of a Sheridan at
Winchester, the command Fall in ~
rang out from Gresham to his men, and
with their young colonel at their head,
marching literally to the sound of the
cannon, they passed, alone of their
brigade, into the storm of battle,
breaking against the gates of Yicks-
burg. From that bloody day until the
surrender in July the regiment was
busy and cheerful, under it's full share
of the hard work and harder fighting
Gresham was promptly placed under
arrest by his brigade commander for
marching without orders, and was
more promptly released by Gen. Grant.
The general not only at once restored
him to his command, but he transferr-
ed his regiment to Lanman's fighting
division. Shortly after the surrender
Col. Gresham, on the recommendation
of Gen. Grant, was made full briga-
der. He was never again left in the
rear.

THE MEANING oFMEMoRIAL DAY.
Reasonable and Timely Appeal.

A Reasonable and Timely Appeal.
Commander Bowen of the Spring
field, Mass, Grand army post, issues
the following plea which will apply to
other places as well:
The approach of Memorial day, with
| it's sacred memories and touching
scenes, naturally calls into considera-
ton the proper observance of the day.
| The Grand Army of the Republic has
often put forth it's plea in behalf of the
sacredness of this occasion. WeTenew
this plea once more, and ask those who
contemplate the holding of sports and
games at that time to consider well,
before their arrangements are made,
the nature of the day and the purpose
to which it is consecrated. While it
may be true that our national life
needs more of pastime and reasonable
recreation, we believe it is equally true
that it needs an occasional turning
away from the frivolous side of life,
from the press of business and money
getting to the lessons of a noble patri-
Otism which the exercises of Memorial
day are intended to teach. Amid the
rush and hurry and strain of business
life it is entirely fitting that, for sim
gle day or part of a day, we should
pause to consider the price at which
we enjoy our material prosperity as a
nation. We should remember that in
the hour of trial, out from our busy
citizenship there came magnificent
army of patriots, who counted expos
ure, suffering, wounds and even death
itself not too great price to pay for
the protection of their country. The
graves of these heroes dot every ceme-
terry more and more thickly each year,
as the march of time bears one after
another to the final muster out.
1t is to their surviving comrades
that the sacred duty of preserving the
memory of their unexampled heroism
is cOnided. For ourselves, on that
day as on others, we ask no special
recognition but in behalf of those
dead comrades beside whom we march,
ed and fought, we do ask all who love
their common country, all who honor
the nOblest attributes of a patriotic
citizenship and would cultivate them
in the rising generation, to give to us
for the few hours that we set apart for
these beautiful rites Il considerate CO.
operation. Apart from the great pur-
pose for which it was instituted, it is
also true that Memorial day has
brought into our national life an ele-
ment of tenderness and reverence, of
appreciative memory of departed
friends, which it did not have before.
This element in itself is worthy of cul
tivatiOn. 1t touches the truest and
tenderest emotions of humanity; but
more than all, we urge that the patriot
ic lessons which Memorial day teaches
may be reverently presented, especial
ly to the minds of the young, so that
should the trial come to them as it
came to our henOred dead, they may
prove equally true to their citizenship
and it's sacred obligations.
