WASHINGTON, March 24.-Lieutenant
Commander Longnecker, of the receiv-
ing ship New Hampshire, stationed at
Newport, r. l., is now in trouble. The
matter has been called to the attention
of the Navy Department, but the de-
partment does not see it's way clear to
take any official action in the case. 1t
seems that sailor named Carbrey who
had served on the New Hampshire had
received his discharge, of which fact
Commander Longnecker was ignorant.
Meeting the sailor afterwards, Carbrey
did not treat Longnecker with that SER
Witty which the Commander expected
from a common sailor, and he immedi-
ately caused his arrest and had him
placed in double irons in the hold of the
ship. Afterwards Commander Long
necker found out his mistake and had
the sailor released. Civil action has
been brought by Carbrey against Long
necker and tho case has also been
brought to the attention of Secretary

AN INIPRACTIBLE SCHEME,

We see it stated that as a means of
preventing future stringency III the
money market, Secretary Window has
decided to Recommend to congress that
he be given authority to issue 100000
600 of or p per cent. bonds, to be used
in the redemption of one of the outstand-
ing bonds, say 4 or A. per cent
These new bonds are to he redeemable
in currency by the holders at their dis
position. The object of this is to take
the first step toward preventing the pos
sibility of a further stringency in the
money market.
The first difficulty in the way of carry
ing such scheme into effect, should it
be provided for by the necessary act of
congress (Which is doubtfuD, would be
TO induce the holders of the higher
priced bonds to exchange them for the
lower ones proposed The only induce
ment to do so would be to get the ex-
tension Of time given in the new issues.
The redemption character of the
new bonds would cut no figure
in providing against a stringency
in the volume of circulating
currency, as the holders of government
securities are not the ones to be moved
by any such considerations. Besides,
and above all other considerations, the
idea of issuing more bonds of any de-
nomination for any purpose will defeat
the proposition as far as popular senti-
ment is conserved. The demand is that
the governments bonds now outstand-
ing be retired at the earliest possible
day and their value replaced in more
current mediums of exchange, l. e.
treasury notes, coin and coin certificates
mediums that, while they represent
on the part of the govern
ment are not of the cumulative character
as they bear no interest.
In short, the popular demand while it
is for more money, it is for sort that
will not entail contingent expense upon
the government in the way of interest
The people have set their heads towards
free coinage and they will not hear to
any bond or other propositions until
that is tried

KANSAS ATTRACTIONS.

Nothing could be more delightful than
IN autumnal drive through Sunny Kan
sas. One bright morning in September
a party left Harper county, Kansas, over
land, for Southern Minnesota, distance
Of about 900 miles. One of the party,
Mrs. George L. Reynolds, writing to the
Harper Sentinel gives an account of the
trip, from which we excerpt the follow
ing, descriptive of the journey and the
country as far a. the Walnut in Butler
county:
Peaches were still clinging TO the trees
and the Usage orange hedges were full
of fruit.
Fair Runneymede nestled costly in
her valley, shut in by the encircling hills.
As we approached Norwich we passed
through that famous prairie dog town,
one of the few remaining in Central
Kansas. The little marmOts appeared in
great numbers, sitting upright and
watching us curiously or plunging head
long into their burrows when we drew
near. Others ran from hillock to hill
lock, evidently making evening calls.
\ few owls walked solemnly around,
blinking lazily at the descending sun.
The marmots chartered loudly as we
drove by. 4 lady told us badgers had
their home in a ravine near, but of
course we did not see them.
We drove through Norwich, and Belle
PLANE, leaving Cheney on the left as we
passed. The winter wheat along the
way gave promise of an abundant crop
next spring. The Jewett farm, near
Wichita, was by far, the best equipped
we saw during the whole trip.
We reached Wichita Wednesday morn
ing and found handsome city with fine
business blocks and its streets thronging
with people. Just beyond Wichita we
found the first clover hay. The orchards
were loaded with fruit, the boughs al
most breaking beneath the weight
Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties
have miles of beautiful hedges lining and
shading the road. The soil was black.
the stack yards were well filled with
grain and hay. Many of the farm
houses rivaled city residences in size
and elegance. The barns were large, !
the places had a snug, we'll kept air; all |
betokened thrift and comfort"

THE Cherokee LEASE.
From the Arkansas city Traveller.

From the Arkansas City Traveller,
The verdict rendered by the circuit
court at Kansas City last Thursday in
favor Of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock
association and against John II. Stoller,
has no significance whatever in regard to
the validity of the associations lease
with the Cherokees. The case NAV be
briefly stated as follows: The Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association leased {. 000.-
Gee acres of lands ut a stipulated price
and set apart certain tracts or bou diaries
TO individual members of the association
or sublea~ed to persons not members Of
the association. Stoller leased something
over $4,000 acres from the association
and paid his rent promptly until the
president issued his proclamation order
ing the Cattlemen to vaCate at a certain
time. In consequence Of the issuance of
this order the Cherokee Strip association
refused to pay the * months
rent due July /. 10 the Indians
and Stoller refused to paw the
amount due him to the association. The
refusal on his part to comply with his
contract with the association. caused the
latter 10 bring suit to recover the
amount. The court instructed the jury
10 decide upon the merits Of the case
only As the question of the CherokesS'
title to the strip was not in controversy
at all. In fact. the verdict against Mr.
Stoller was equitable and Just. but il
does not. by any means. settle the queS-
ton as TO the validity of the Cherokees'
claim 10 the strip or their right To exc
cute lease TO tie lands. The report
that the association would bring a suit
against the government for a large sum
OF money for practically setting their
lease aside Is the greatest nonsense. and
none realize it more fully than the men,
