Reasons Given for the Removal of Chief
Justice Sandford, of Utah.
Special to the Indianapolis Journa
WASHINGTON, June 22-The exact posi-
tiOn of the administration with regard
to the case of hief-justice Elliott Sand
ford, of Utah, is known to be this: Not
long after the Republicans came into power
there reached Washington charges of a for
midable character, involving Sandford in
his official capacity. A large number of
lawyers practicing in Salt Lake City, Dem
ocrats as we'll as Republicans, preferred
them. They accused him of refusing to hear
arguments on questions of law or fact, and
asserted that his general habit was to
deny their right to make argument. Again
he was so discourteous to attorneys while
on the bench as to excite remark. He was
lacking in judicial temperament as to
be unit for his position. By his judicial
conduct. his rulings and decisions, he in
spired the bar and the people with pro-
found distrust of his abilities and character
the hearing and trial of cases, such trials
resulted in decisions without regard to
facts or law. These and other definite
charges were supported by the affidavits of
reputable citizens cOgniZant of the facts.
The most serious accusation. perhaps.
was that Sandford, instead of enforcing
the Edmunds anti -polygamy law. construed
it away. Evidence of this fact was abso-
lutely convincing. Sandford was not re-
moved without the most searching In
vestigation. When it was found to be
an indisputable fact that the Chief
justice had not only been proved guilty
of the offenses cited. but of others,
his esignation was demanded. This he re-
fused to furnish and then he was removed.
Charles S. Zane, whom President Cleve-
land had displaced, was for years the Chief
justice of Utah He is stanch Republican,
and at the request of citizens, without re-
justice Zane has vigorously enforced the
law against polygamy, and has made many
enemies thereby among believers in the
Mormon faith. The action of the Presi-
dent, in this case, is known to be receiving
the highest commendation from residents
of Utah, who believe in the enforcement of
the law against pOlygamy in all its phases.

AN UNSETTLED QUESTION.
Doubt Expressed Whether the Census Bureau

Doubt Expressed Whether the Census Bureau
Can BE Put Under Civil-Service Rules.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The question
whether the Census Bureau shall be put
under the jurisdiction of the Civil-service
Commission remains unanswered. Super
intendent Porter maintains that it is a
serious legal question whether the Secre-
tary of the Interior could delegate his au-
thority to other branches of the
government. The question, he says, is not
one OF examination of clerks, but one
of far greater import. namely. the methods
of appointing those clerks. AS the la n
now stands, and according to Senator Hale,
as it was intended to stand. the appoint
ment of all employees of the bureau is vest
ed in the Secretary of the Interior and the
Superintendent of the Census, the latter
recommending and the former approving
Should the Civll-seryice Commission carry
its point, the methods of appointments
would be absolutely changed This is
the legal aspect of the case. The
other question. Mr.. Porter says is that of
number of clerks employed in the tenth
census was. in March. 1881, 15O0. In March.
1882. 1.2O6 had been discharged. About 2 600
will probably be employed upon the next
census. but within one year. / 500 or 1900
will have to be dismissed.
Superintendent Porter contends that il

PROTEST FROM NEZ PERCEs.
The Indians Object to the New Agent, and
Would Like His Removal

The Indians Object to the New Agent, and
Would Like His Removal.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-James Reubens
a Nez Perces Indian, from Idaho. called on
Secretary Noble and acting Indian Com
missioner Bell, to-day. and warmly pro-
tested, in the name of his tribe, against the
retention in office of Charles f. Monteith
as agent for his people. Mr.. Monteith wai
the agent for the Nez Perces during the
four years Immediately prior TO 1856, when
he was succeeded by George W. Norris.
His present appointment was made since
the incoming of the present administra-
tion. Reubens represented that dur
ing Monteith's former term he had for
feited the respect and good VIII OF
the tribe by repeated acts of cruelty, and
on many occasions he had demonstrated
the fact that he had no interest whatever
in the welfare of the Indians. He said
that he was a man totally untitled by
nature to occupy the position he held, as
was demonstrated by the fact that during
his former term he had gained the i'll viii
and enmity of nearly every member of the
tribe. He said. further. that his people
would peTsistently oppose the allotment of
their lands In severalty, now being
made by Miss Fletcher. unless Mon-
better man sent to them in his
place. Secretary Noble. at the conclusion
of Reubenss statement, assured him that
his charges against Mr.. Monteith would re-
ceive his careful attention, and that if it
was found that Mr. Monteith was untitled
for the position to which he had been APP
pointed. he would not be permitted to con-
tinue in it. The Secretary, however, said
that while he was disposed 10 give them as
their agent the verv best man obtainable,
yet he fully expected the Indians TO i'm
mediately abandon any purpose they might
have of retaliating against Mr.. Monteith' s
appointment by refusing to take their lands

UNPAID MONEY ORDERS.

Efforts to Ascertain the Owners of Funds
Unrightfully Held by the Government.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 22.-For seventeen
years after the establishment of the money
order system in this country, the funds se-
cured through unpaid money orders were
stored up and boarded. just as though the
United States government had made a good
speculation. No attempts whatever were
inaugurated to ascertain the real owners of
this money which had been trusted to Un-
Gle Sans care, but the sum went on accum-
ulating until it had reached the enormous
figure of about 81, zoe, 900. Then Congress
took hold. The legislative branch of the
government decided that the money thus
held was illegally held, and that no pains
should be spared to ascertain to whom it
belonged. and a clause was attached to one
of the bills appropriating money for the
support of the Postoffice Depart
ment authorizing the employment
of number of clerks whose
duty it should be to ascertain tho rightful
owners of this money-order fund, and
every effort made to restore it. Congress
also provided that hereafter whenever an
advice" in relation to an order, which
should remain unpaid in the hands of post
master certain number of days without the
money having been claimed, was received, it
should be the duty of that postmaster to
notify the payee. Ii this failed to secure
the payment of the money to the rightful
party, the sender was to be notified. and
steps were devised BY which he might Sc
cure the money which had not been paid to
the person to whom he desired it should go.
Under this latter act there has been a
great falling off in the accumulation of
money to the credit of the mOney-order
fund in New York. and under the instruc-
tions of Congress some clerks in
the money-Order department have been
engaged for some years in making out
a list of all unpaid orders, together with
the names of the purchaser of the order
and the party to whom it was sent. These
lists make an enormous bill of manuscript,
and although they are not yet completed,
they have been instrumental In restoring
great deal of the money to the rightful
owners Just how much has been paid
back cannot be ascertained at this time
without great deal of work, but that
lars piled away in the sub-treasury in New
York, to the creditof the money order fund,
is beyond dispute.
Ordinary business honesty would have
demanded that this fund should never have
been allowed to accumulate, but Uncle
Sam, In his business dealings, Is the most
dishonest of mortals. He never pays a
debt that he can possibly escape, but insists
upon prompt payment from all his debtors.

Noble is on his side, and the members of
the census committee. as well as Senator
Hale, are believed to be with him.
The Sale OF Stamps ap thrie, Oklahoma-
How Money Are Made.

hOh 1HOnte AAD AA8Uts
Special to the Incianap
WASHINGTON, III 22.-The business of
the postofice at Guthrie, in Oklahoma. has
been so large since that Office was estab-
lished that the postmaster has been re-
quired to give new bond instead of the
bond usually required from fourth-class
postmasters. This new instrument, which
takes effect from and after the 1st of July,
is for $4,000, and thereafter instead of re-
mitting his funds quarterly. As is the case
with similar offices, the postmaster at
Guthrie will be required to send on the
earnings of his office TO a sub-treasury
every week. According TO the reports in
the department the daily sale of stamps in
Guthrie now amounts to about 80. and there
Is every indication of an increase rather
than a decrease in the receipts.
The system under which the funds are
gathered together from the different post
Offices in the country is not generally un-
derstood. Fourth-class postmasters, or
those appointed by the Postmaster general,
make their returns quarterly, sending on
their funds to one of the larger Offices
First. second and third-class postmasters
remit to sub-treasuries once a week. or
business done. This prevents any great
accumulation. and protects the government
from embezZlements- Under the old sys-
tenn it was customary to issue warrants on
p0stmasters to railroads and mail contract
ors in payment of their services. Later.
all small postoffices deposited with the
larger ones, which were designated as of
fees of deposit. and it often happened that
the accumulati0ns amounted 10 a great
deal more than the size of the postmaster's
bond. This was found TO be undesirable.
and when General Hazen, the present Third
Assistant Postmaster-general, first took
charge of the Office years ago, he changed
the plan and required more frequent depos-
it's in the sub-treasuries. The system works
exceedingly well now. and probably will
be maintained in its present shape indef-

Important Tariff Questions That VIII Short
ly Be Settled by Secretary Window.
WASHINGTON. June 22.-Secretary Win
dom has determined to settle. as soon as
possible, all the important tariff questions
which have been raised since his incum-
bency, and to that end he had long con-
ference to-day with Assistant Secretary
Tichenor, who has direct supervision oven
this branch of the Treasury business. The
principal questions considered to-day re-
lated to the classification of lead ores con-
tanning silver the drawback OH lute bag
ging, and the classification of Canadian
built cars used on American railroads. In
regard to the former question. ii is learned
that the department has received reports
from special agents sent to the Mexican
border for the purpose of investigating the
subject of importations of lead ores from
Mexico; that extensive frauds have been
practlced, and that the payment OF the
proper amount of duties on this commodity
has been systematically evaded. These re-
ports will have great weight In the settle
ment of the question at issue, and II is be-
lieved that the department will hold that
the dutiable value of imported ores con.
tanning lead and silver hereafter must he
determined by the relative weight of the
two metals instead of by their relative
value, as under the present practice
Secretary Window said, to-day, In speak
ing of the conference. that they had
reached conclusions in several of the ones
tiOns under consideration, but that they
would not be in shape for public am
nouncement before next week.
