train from Chicago. On being inter-
viewed by the reporter OF the Reveille,
he stated that he vas from Chicago

some Of the owners Of the Manhattan
Company and to learn, if possible, the
feeling that existed between the peo-
pie and the management OF the COM

he went to obtain the desired informa-

ceeded to the Superintendent of the
company to learn through him the
situation. He might as we'll have gone

Frauds at an Indian agency.

The census enumeration, who counted
the Indians at the Rosebud agency in
South Dakota. reported hat he found
8, l66 men, women and children located
there. The Indian Bureau has been
distributing rations for :, 800 Indians at
that agency and the question naturally
arises as to where the extra 2,334 In
dams are situated and who drew their
rations? Indian Agent Wright, who
reported each quarter Of q year the num-
Der Of Indians who drew ~rations during
the preceding three months, was asked
to explain the discrepancy, but he was
unable to do SO. He claimed that many
Indians were not enumerated and he
asked to be allowed to take the census
himself. Permission to. do so was
granted him, but he could find only l25
more Indians than the regular enumer-
ator. Now he accounts for the discrep.
ancy by an epidemic that took off Q large
number, but the physicians at the agency
report only nineteen deaths on the reser.
walton in the last year.

HIST IN TIME.

The salt Lake Tribune siEes up the
situation as follows: The practical re-
monetization Of silver did not come a
moment too soon, judging by the con-
dition Of the money market in New
York City. Living so long under the
shadow Of the Temple, the Tribune
now and then gets q revelation, ana
il gave those people notice two years
ago that if they did not change their
way and do justice to silver, some
time when the crops were to be
moved and a great call for money
would be made, they would have a
panic in New York. With the panic,
houses that seemed to be solid would
topple and fall, showing they were rot
ten through and through, and that n
panic would spread from the Atlantic
to the base OF the Rocky Mountains
and cover the land with loss and con-
fusion. They may avert the disaster
now, for the market is steadily rising.
There is some profit already given the
farmer, and from the farmer to the
middle men, and from the middle
men to the merchant. The farmer
will be able to pay his bills to the
store the store will be able to remit to
New York, and the great calamity
may be averted. But the change did
not come a moment too o 1t will
be curious to see what the bankers
will have to say this year, when they
meet in convention-those Eastern
bankers who two years ago demanded
the repeal Of the Bland law. 1t will be
good, il at last, the thought has come
home to them, that in a country like
this, with 65 900 900 people strug-
Cling for position and for fortunes,
with half a continent yet to be de-
veloped, it is simply impossible to get
too much money and that without a
vast amount of money there will be
no prosperity.

Denver, Aug. 3l.-The most stipend
Gus mining deal ever attempted in the
West lie now pending. 1t lie the sale Of
all the big mines at Aspen TO an English
syndicate for 81, 00O,OO The sum is
enormous and when one looks at the hg-
ures at FIRST thought it seems incredible,
but when the vast deposits Of mineral
wealth which they will secure are con-
sidered, increjulity gives away to be-
lief.
There is no question but what the
deal is on and the facts are IS firmly
founded as the Aspen mountain, the
great treasure house Of nature. About
six months ago Cecil c. Morgan, the
English mining expert, went to London
TO dispose Of some mining properties
in which John Scott, the wealthy En-
glishman who was formerly President OF
the California Midland railroad, j. j..
H~agermsn, the Colorado Springs million
aire, and . number Of other parties were
interested. Mr.. Morgan has been at
different times connected with several OF
the rich mines in the Aspen District, in.
GLIDING the Durant. Aspen and Bonnie
Bell. After considerable work he sue.
ceeded in forming a syndicate, composed
Of about fifty fnanciers OF London, rep
resenting a wealth Of nearly $50, O0O,.
900. On his return he began his work OF
securing an option IN the properties.
Very cautiously and in less than q
month the manipulation OF the negotis-
tions has secured options on the leading
mines, including the Aspen, Durant, AS
pen Mining and Smelling Company's
mines and smelter, Franklyn, Compro-
mise, Bonnie Bell, johnson and Snug.
gler and the Deep Shaft. Some OF the
figures named were fairly staggering.
The Aspen mine being put in at q cool
IS, 200, 900. The total valuation reaches
the enormous sum Of 227. 600 000

question. Within eight weeks of the

The oau Francisco Chronicle says:
England is about to be put on her honor.
She must not let the men and women OF
Ireland starve any more. With half
the worlds wealth in her strong boxes,
with ships laden with cheap food sur.
rounding her island home. il must not be
said that she will any more permit the
men and women and little children Of
Ireland to starve. 1t is most strange
that . race as strong and bright and
brave as the Irish race will continue to
cling to a land year after year and cen.
turf after century where the loss Of q
potato crop means famine to the people.
II only shows how brave men can be
beaten down by misfortune until their
horizon becomes 80 narrow that they
cannot lift their eyes TO see that the
world is filed with rich land that awaits
the tiller, and that modern ships have
about abolished the ocean and brought
all lands close together. But the men
and women there and the little children
must not be allowed to starve. II would
be a disgrace to modern civilization to
permit it. 1t would be q proof that the
natural savsgery Of our race is not yet
half bred out.

REPUBLICAN FREE TRADE.


The following from the Silver State IL
respectfully referred to the careful pom
sideration Of intelligent and fair minded
Republicans!
1.-TWO years ago the country went al
most stark mad on the question Of free
trade, which really was not an issue Of
the Presidential campaign, because we
must have Q tariff, and a high one, too,
for the support Of the Government.
Campaign speakers declared that the
higher the tariff the better for the ooun-
try. as the tax on imports was paid by
the foreign producer and not by the
American consumer; and the Chicago
platform declared for the abolition OF all
internal revenue taxes rather than absn.
don any part Of our protective system.
This sentiment prevailed, and q majority
of the House Of Representatives were
elected to carry it into effect. To the
astonishment of those who believed in
the principle Of protection. the author Of
the tariff plank in the Chicago platform
abandoned principle for policy, and re-
ported q bill to Congress which, 10 is
said, places more articles on the free list
than the so-oalled Free Trade Mills bill.
Among these are sugar and opium, hides
and joss sticks. From sugar alone the
Government derives . tariff Of $50, Co.,
900 g year. paid. il Republican cam.
paigners and papers tell the truth, by
foreigners. and every State on this coast
has stringent laws against the use Of
opium. yet both. If the Mckinley bill
becomes . law, will be admitted duty

centric old Hebrew street vender Of
pocketbooks, jack-knives, chewing gum
and divers small trinkets, dropped dead
of heart disease yesterday morning.
This sudden event brought to light the
fact that although Treusch always had
the appearance of poverty and of finding
il a hard struggle to make both ends
meet, he was in reality quite well to do.
He had big rolls of money. When the
body was taken by the police to the
morgue, and the clothing searched, it
was discovered that he had $4,000 in
United States bills sewed in the folds Of
a wonderful shirt which he wore. This
shirt was Of flannel and was made
double about the chest and sides. Inside
the two folds the old peddler had long
carried his carefully concealed wealth.
The bills were Of various denominations,
ranging from 81 to 500.

Der. ready for . rough and tumble de-

As Speaker Mr.. Reed has disappointed
political opponents and friends. He has
90 changed the rules and invaded the
traditions Of the House that its delibera.
tive character has vanished. II is an
automatic autocracy. This is not Q
question Of Republican OF Democratic
sway, but Of the integrity Of represent
alive institutions. No one a have
studied the House in recent years with
out seeing this painful, steady trend.
Mr.. Reed is not altogether TO blame.
Mr.. Randall began il when in the chair.
Bot among the enviable qualities OF that
memorable commoper there was an i'm
performances, an arrogance, which injured
his usefulness as Speaker. however it
may have strengthened him as Q leader.
Mr.. Randall's success in undermining the
authority Of the House is no reason why

whips, Mr.. Reed rules with scorpions.
This autocracy was shown in . shame
less way on Wednesday. A member Of the
House, from some incredible baseness OF
mind, used words 30 indecent that the
Herald and other carefully edited jour-
mails refused to print them. The offense
was inexcusable in this, that no provocs-
tion can pardon ungentlemanly speech.
II the offender had spoken thus in Mr..
Reeds drawing.room Mr.. Reed would
undoubtedly have kicked him down
stairs. Bot he happened to be . Repub.
lican leaders supporter, friend, crony
Of the Speaker. What do we see An
other member rises and asks to have the
indecent words taken down that the Of
fender may be punished in parliamentary
form. The Speaker declines to recognize
him. By and by the member again
rises, makes the due motion, and the
Speaker coolly decides that az he has
not risen at the proper time the motion
is not in order. The offense goes with
out notice, the offender without repri.
msnd or punishment, and the country
must submit to see the debates Of the
House Of Representatives polluted with
the slang Of the bagnio and the guilty
one protected by the Speaker.
The country will not endure il. The
offense was an insult to society. 1t can
not be explained away or forgotten.
Gentlemen may apologize for high tenn.
per, Misrepresentation, words spoken
under the influence Of wine, insults, per.
sonal violence even, but public decency
is not to be condoned. The one repara-
tion the offender can make is to retire
from public life. The pity Of it is that
the Speaker should be so insensible to
his high trust to permit no rebuke Of q
shameless insult TO the House to appear
on the record, and that such things may
be done with impunity under his official
protection. New York Herald.
