From this captivity Mrs. FLYNN never

In the Autumn of 1868 mammoth
expedition was organized against the
Indians at Fort Lyon. under General
Carr. General Penrose went In ad-
vance with the Tenth cavalry and
parts of the Third and Fifth infantry.
General Carr followed with the Fifth
cavalry and company of the Third
infantry. But the expedition was re-
sultless, and the grand army march
ed back without striking a blow.
Yet no doubt 1t should receive credit
for its moral effect on the Indians,
as there were no more raids on the
Purgatoire. General Penrose arrived
at Fort Lyon, February l6, 1869,
and soon after the settlers returned
to their several ranches. and travel
and freighting again resumed.
As Fort Lyon is now abandoned

would save the state many thousands

J, THE QUESTION on SALARIES.

article, entitled "The Decline Of the
American Republic" and have been very
favorably impressed with the truth OF
his statements.
In reading the eighth chapter the
thought struck me that il our public of
iicers receive certain fixed salary per
year and are allowed 10 contract the cur
rency In circulation without affecting
their salary they are doing the equiva
lent W increasing their salary, just as
Morgan says; for by 80 doing they make
produce and all necessaries Of life
cheaper Thus they are continually
widening the gulf between them and the
producing classes. Their interests are
not at all identical with the producing
classes, but at variance, for by enhancing
the value Of money they increase their
salaries 10 the purchasing power of II,
and 40 the same time crush down the
producing class.
Mr.. Morgan suggests that II the salary
OF our Senators and Congressman could
be fixed In a certain number Of bushels
or pounds OF the chief products Of their
respective states or districts, then their
interests would be identical with the
farmer. This would be good for the
farmer who produces the crops In which
che Senators and Congressman were 80
interested In keeping the price up, but
how about the farmer that produces
crops that are not the chief products in
which Congress would have no interest?
Would It be any benefit to them, or would
they not adopt the plan OF all growing
the same crops and thus destroy the ten
dency TO a diversity of crops, which is
valuable to all CommunitlesY Again,
how about the laboring man, who de-
pends ON his daily labor for living, and
who would have to buy these very pro-
ducts, which the public officers would
keep the price 80 high? Would not
Congress work up corner on these chief
r products the same as they have on money
and in the end will we be any better Off
think not
The idea is a good one In that ourpub
lie officers salaries must be variable, as
articles of produce and the necessities Of
life are dear or cheap, but to fix the
salaries Of officers In any one article of
produce would have the tendency of en-
hanoing the value Of that article and de-
preciating the value Of other produce;
therefore we must look TO something
else for the basis on which to regulate
the salaries Of our officers something
that all classes are equally Interested in.
The bible tells us that the love of
money ia the root OF all evil. Now let us
look to the root and see il we cannot find
the remedy. Let us make money the
basis from which TO regulate the salaries
OF officers. Let us take the actual Circu
latlon per capita as the basis and let US
set the standard at $4,000 per capita and
regulate all salaries in proportion as the
actual circulation per capita is above or
below the fixed standard. For instance,
when the circulation per capita has
reached the standard of $4,000 let the
president receive his present salary Of
$4,000, but when the circulation is be-
low par and is only about $500 or 800
per capita, then let the salary Of the
