There are some parts OF the section

might be obtained from artesien wells
In this county, for instance, help might

Mr.. Harrison is a narrow man, hav-
ing no other force than that Of events
which impel him in this direction or
that. He will not attempt to divide
the negro vote or TO change the atti-
tude of the Republican party as the
negro party. The negro vote is nee
essary to Republican success in the
close States Of the North. The care
with which the President has been
cultivating negro preachers in Indiana
shows that he realizes this, and he has
shown in Congress and on the stump
that he believes agitation intended TO
keep the negro political issue is the
main essential of thorough-going Re-
publicanism. He is giving very few
offices to negroes, but it is well known
that white Republicans are only men,
bers Of a negro party in a Pickwickian
sense. This was as true of Grant as it
was Of Hayes, Garfield or Arthur. No
one who knew Grant is likely TO be-
lieve that he held the negro fit for
citizenship. He supported the negro
governments at the South with the
army as a party measure. Harrison
is different in this respect only because
the times are different. AS a partisan
he resembles Grant more than he does
Hayes, Garfield or Arthur, each OF
whom had individuality enough to as
sert individual opinions on occasion.
1t is not to be expected that Mr.. Har-
rison will do any thing of the kind.
He is no better than his party, and Ae
could not we'll be worse. His South
ern policy" when it is vowed retro
spectively, will probably show no
change from the old Republican pol
icy of sectionalism.-St Louis Re-

Speculative Excitement But No Material
Change in business.
NEW YORK June 29-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: 1t has been
a week of considerable excitement in
speculative circles and of heavy general
trade without material change in condi-
tions. AS all depends in large measure at
this season upon crop prospects,
it is most encouraging to find the
reports in this particular unusually
Favorable, the only noteworthy ex-
ception being that SOM damage to cotton
and grain from freq uent rains is reported
at Galveston. In the Northwest the grain
outlook is particularly fine, great inn
provement being reported in quarters
where there had cen some appre henslon.
With crops of unusual magnitude highly
probable, and with a general volume of
business so maintained, and the main in
crease of 80 per cent. over last year in
clearing house returns, the prospect is not
gloomy.
Detroit notes quiet business, and Kansas
City and Omaha report fair activity; at
Milwaukee Improvement is seen with
greater activity, and at Cleveland and
Pittsburgh the iron and other trades con-
tinue to mend. The glass factories have

A DIGNIFIEO REBUKE.
How a Democratic Judge Replied to

How a Democratic Judge Replied TO q
Request for His Resignation.
Attorney-General Miller caught a
tartar the other day when he tackled
Elliott Sandford. Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Utah, whom the Ad-
ministraticn has recently removed.
To letter from Miller requesting his
resignation, Sandford replied asking
if there were any charges against him
and stating that it would be unbecom'
ing and improper for him to resign
until they were proved or disproved.
This brought reply from Miller in
which he said: The President has be-
come satisfied that your admiristra-
tion of the Office was not in harmony
W it'll the policy he deemed proper to
be pursued with reference to Utah
affairs, and for this reason he desired
to make a change, and out of courtesy
gave you an opportunity to resign.
The judges answer was to the point.
He wrote as follows: ''In reply have
the honor to say that my earnest pur-
pose while on the bench as Chiei
Justice of the Territory has been to
administer justice and the laws hon.
estly and impartially to all men, under
the obligations of my oath of Office.
If the President of the United StateI
has any policy which he desires a
Judge of the Supreme Court to carry
out in reference to Utah affairs, other
than the one have pursued, you may
say to him that he has done very well
to remove me-"
Whether this message is conveyed
to Harrison or not is not stated. but it
will probably warn Miller against en-
tering into any particulars hereafter
regarding the cause OF removals.

SWEEPING CHANGESA
Secretary Tracy ReorganIzes the Bushes
of the nana RI mn


of the Navy Department.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-By a sweeping
general order Secretary Tracy proposes
an entire reorganization of the business
methods of the Navy Department. Up TO
this tins new equipments and new duties
constantly arising from the conditions OF
change incident to the replacement Of the
old wooden vessels with new ships and
modern guns have been assigned hero and
there to the several bureaus of the depart
msnt, often with no better reason than
the convenience of the moment The re-
suit has been confusion and an exaggera-
tion Of the defects OF the bureau system.
Duties which have no connection have
been placed together and those naturally
I associated have been divorced. Supply
has been complicated and expensive.
Electric lighting, for example, has been
claimed by three bureaus. Tho training
of officers and men, apart from the inde-
pendent establishment of the Naval
Academy, has been divided between an
equal number, and there has been no
Office to control and detail the personnel
as a whole, both officers and men, and to
receive and transmit the correspondence
of the feet.
Secretary Whitney realized the evils OF
the system and made an effort to change
them, but was bliged, from the magnitude
of the task and the paramount Importance
of concentrating his energies upon the
procurement Of new ships and guns, to
abandon the task Secretary Tracy, how
ever, now says that the time is ripe for
further change. and has accordingly is
sued the new order. 1t enlarges the duties
of some of the buresu5-notably those OF
the bureau of equipment, to which Is at
trlbuted nearly all the duties of supply,
heretofore belonging to the bureau OF
| navigation, and the control of the hydro
| graphic and compass Offices and the naval
! observatory. To the constructing. manu-
featuring and purchasing bureaus are
assigned other duties grouping them
| systematically and appropriately.
Each bureau exercises control
of its shops, labor, superintend-
ence, acquisitions, accounts and appropri-
ations. The limits of authority are well
! defined. The lureau of navigation loses
| its duties of supply and its control over
several important Offices aud becomes uu-
der the immediate direction of the Secre-
tarv, an executive section for military
matters, and is charged with the training,
discipline and control of the personnel OF
the feet. Finally, tn, chiefs of the bu-
reaus of yards and docks equipment,
ordnance, construction and repair and
steam engineering ex-officio constitute a
board for the design. construction and
equipment of new ships. Practically the
effect of the order will be to make the
bureau of navigation to correspond to
the Adjutant- Generals office in the War
! Department in the control of the person
mel Of the organization.

Woods.

The ESCAPED Bald knODDer seen III tuA
Woods.
OZARK, No., June 29.-Last Sunday
evening in a desolate part of this county,
Thomas Yeary was in the woods sitting
OH a log when his dog sprang at some-
thing, and the next moment Wiley Mat
thews, the condemned Bald Knobber who
escaped from the Ozark Jail, appeared
and spoke 10 him, calling him by his
name. Matthews was so sunburnt that he
hardly knew him at first
Matthews told Weary that he wanted
him to help him get away and not to tell
any one that he had seen him. He said
th at he had been in the hills all the time
he had been out of Jail, and was afraid to
get out where people could see him for he
said: 81 know they a:e on the lookout
for me-"
Weary was well acquainted with Mat
thews from boyhood up until he was sent
to Jail for the murder of Greens and
Edsns. Matthews was armed with good
pistols and would be very hard to take.
Yeary came into Ozark after three days
hard ride, as he thought there was big
reward offered for Matthews.
z. A. johnson, the sheriff is now in
Stone County, Mo-, but will start out after
Matthews as soon as be gets back. There
is only $50 offered for the arrest of Mat
thews yet
