the snake be whole again. l ought to have

was finally settled by both parties agreeing
to the crucial test of letting the remains

A Word in Behalf of the Capitalist.


The mind of man is the prime factor in
all material production; without il the
mere labor of the hand would be incapable
of providing for an increasing population.
Setting aside all distinction of classes, and
reasoning only on the qualities of mind
which are necessary to the accumulation of
capital, it becomes apparent. l, that the
little it may be, is due to prudence, self
denial. economy and sagacity; 2. that the
productive use of capital. after it has been
saved, calls for intelligence, skill and
mental capacity; 3, that the larger the
capital the greater is the mental capacity
required for its application to productive
purposes; 4. that unless capital is directed
to productive purposes. whether invested
in land, mills, railroads, or works of any
kind, it yields neither rent. interest, profit
nor earnings; when productive it increases
production more than it secures as income;
3, that unless labor did in fact secure a
better subsistence in the service of capital,
the workmen would refuse to work for the
capitalists

Atkinson's Economic Conclusions.

August Forum.
Under existing institutions and existing
laws, the working classes. in the sense in
which they use that word, have been secur-
ing to their own use and enjoyment an in
creasng share of an increasing product.
The richer classes, controlling and using
capital, are securing to their use, control
and enjoyment diminishing share of the
same increasing product.
That share, which each person may Sc
cure to his own use and enjoyment of this
opment of his individual character and
capacity.
All laws restricting the free use of time
and opportunity, and all bylaws limiting
the use of time and talent or skill, are in
consistent with the progress of society and
with the progress of the individual as well.

everybody unfortunate enough to be there.
The wind blew fiercely, and the vessels
pitched terribly. The fires on the steam
pinnaces coming into Portsmouth from the

heavy seas which dashed over the small

Troublesome Sitting Bull.

STANDING Rock, OAK, Aug. 3.-The final
council was held this afternoon with all
the chiefs present but Gall and Running
Antelope. Grass made a very nice speech,
in which he said, as his friends at the other
agencies had broken their promise not to
sign the treaty. he was now willing
to accept the treaty. Mad Bear followed
to the same effect, as did Wolf Necklace.
When the signing was about to begin, Sit
ting Bull, who had come up with his band
mounted on their ponies, entered the circle
and asked to talk. This being considered
too late an application. he was refused the
opportunity. He retired in anger, and
when John Grass, Mad Bear, Big Head and
Deer Face had signed the bill being the
first names, he ordered his young men to
stampede the crowd who were gathering
around the tables. A rush on horseback
was made, which scattered the crowd right
and left. but by the prompt action of Agen:
McLaughln, the attempted disturbance
was quelled. A strong force of police
was placed IN. position and several of
the young braves taken into custody, after
which Sitting Bull retired to his camp, fol-
lowed by his band. This little episode
over. the Indians again congregated about
the tables, and the signing went on as rap
idly as four clerks could identify and in
scribe the names. At this writing about
four hundred names have been taken, and
the signing still progresses rapidly. 1t is
thought this will continue until the major
ity of the signatures will be obtained.

The Crusade Against Tanner.

specia, TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-To-day Commits
siOner Tanner gratitied the desire of the
mugwumps and Democrats who have been
bounding him ever since his induction into
Office and presented all those who cared
for 1t statement as to the exact number
of pension cases which have been made
special since his administration. AS was
to be expected, the statement was not at all
satisfactory TO the anti-admnistratio On
newspapers. The reason for this is that
the figures fall below those set down as &C
curate by the correspondents OF several We
cases made special" of which it was
claimed that two-thirds were advanced for
Leaman and Dudley, 1T appears that the
entire number SO advanced In something
like four months was only 9oS, and of
these only fifty-eight were cases iii which
Mr.. Leaman appeared as attorney, and only
five were Mr.. Dudley's clients. When
it is remembered that the former
gentlemen has a very large clientage and
an army of clerks 1T is not matter of sur
prise that fifty of his clients were proven
TO be in such need that it was advisable to
push their cases forward. but In spite of
the fact that the statement of the Com
missioner is based upon the official records
verified. the correspondents of the news
papers which have been most bitter in
their attacks upon the admin stration
and the Commissioners, have received
their orders to believe nothing which
would seem to place Mr.. Tanner
In a more favorable light before the coun-
try, and he is receiving as many additional
shafts tonight as at any time since this at
tack began. The investigation demanded
into his attitude toward the law has de-
monstrated the integrity of Mr.. Tanners
administration thus far, and it is because
of this fact that the cry of "whitewash' is
raised. and Mr.. Tanner has every reason to
expect that he will continue as the target
for the Democratic press until somebody
else attracts the attention of the CORE
spondents, or he goes out of Office.

The Elixir of Life.

DR.. d. =. Purman is experimenting with
DR.. Brown-Sequard's recent discovery of
1.-The elixir of life," which has been brought
to the notice of the profession in this coun
try through a very startling paper by DIR.
William A. Hammond. who has also made
number of experiments with the alleged
elixir. This remedy for the renewal of
youth is an extract from portions of lamb,
and is used in the form of hypodermic in
lection. DIR. Purman is experimenting
upon Noah A. Clark, of No. 400 North New
Jersey street, only fifty years old,
but greatly debilitated, suffering
from rheumatism and disease con-
tracted during the war. This elixir
prepared by DIR. Purman Saturday morn
ing, was Immediately afterward, to the
amount of dram and a half, injected in
to Mr.. Clarks arm. Four hours afterward
the, patient walked down town
and climbed up two flights of
stairs without stopping. He declared
that it had heretofore taken him an hour
to get down town, but that with the aid of
the elixir he had accomplished the walk in
twenty-five minutes. He remarked that he
had not felt so well for twenty-five years,
and seemed to have a new vitality. being
able to lift his feet as he walked and not
drag them as has been his custom. and that
it was no trouble to hold his head up. In
addition to this, he affirms that his eyesight
is clearer. and that he could now read a
newspaper without the aid of spectacles,
something he had not been able to do be-
fore.
