FALSE ECONOMY AND FAINT
PATRIOTISM.

The signing OF the dependent pen
sion bill by President Harrison, says
the Inter-Ocsan, removes the sting
from the deservedly caustic remarks
of ex President Hayes in his Grand
Army day speech at the Kansas Chau-
tauaua. Justice has, at length, been
done to the soldier. But the speech
of the ex-president will endure as
scathing denunclation of the false
economy and fai:.t patriotism which so
long withheld from the defenders of
the union their just reward, and as
vindlcation of the Republican policy
of l,bera!ity and justice.
Alter the war had ended the first
question confronting the nation was
the payment of the national debt.
Many there were who advised its pay
ment in paper, worth not more than
SO cents of its face value in any coun-
try where a metallic standard was rec
ognlzed. The Republican party stood
for payment of the debt in dollar
pieces, the intrinsic value of each Of
which was 100 cents. Mr.. Hayes was
the Republican candidate for governor
of Ohio upon a platform which af-
frmed this principle. The ex-soldiers
who then received pensions payable in
paper, or who, not being pensioners,
received payment for labor performed
or goods sold in such deprecated pa
per, and who had been paid their
bounties and their war earnings in
paper, voted, almost to man, for pay
ment of the national debt in coin, or
its equivalent. This noble sacrifice of
personal interest and prejudice went
far toward that speedy re- establish
ment of the national credit which re-
duced interest on the public debt from
7.30 to $50 per cent Many and
subtle were the appeals made to the
veteran that he should vote for "pay-
ment of the bond-holder in the same
(paper) money which was good enough
for payment of the soldier" Had the
soldiers so voted, the country would
have been dishonored by practical re-
pudiation of its debt. But the men
who had preserved the unity of the
country at the peril of their lives voted
for preservation Of the credit of the
country at some cost to their not
heavily filled purses. Mr.. Hayes
makes timely reminder of this sci.
dom-remembered second service of the
soldiers
1t was high time that the promises
made by the press, the pulpit, and the
politicians were redeemed. One state,
as Mr.. Hayes said, has paid $50, 0,000,-
900 out of its own treasury in aid of
INDECENT or feeble soldiers who were
not on the pension rolls, but such re-
lief should be a national, not a state,
undertaking. No man who fought
for the union should be the recipient
of private or state charities. Every
such man has earned the rights of |
national support in the time of his old |
age, sickness, or infrmity. A pension
is not a charity; it is payment of a
debt, and Mr. Hayes has presented
this idea in most forcible manner.

A RIOT IN GEORGIA.

GRIFFEN, Ga, July 10.-A fatal race
riot occurred at Stars millpond, Fayette
county, this afternoon. Four negroes
were killed and six wounded, two of whom
are reported dying. Eight whites were
shot, but 1t is thought only one of them
fatally, making nineteen killed and
wounded. The trouble started with a
row between darkey who was selling
wine and. white man. The quarrel was
taken up by others, until many became
involved. The shooting soon became
general. After emptying their weapons
demand was made to a, merchant Tor
more ammunition. He refused to sell,
but the infuriated rioters helped them
selves to all he had. There were over 500
people on the ground, and it is mystery
the sbootlng was not more fatal IN re-
suits.

STORY OF A CRIME.

BISMARCK, July 9.-Ci,izens of this
city will probably soon be edited by
double Indian execution. About two
months ago Turtle-No-H Head and another
Indian who belong to Fort Berthold
agency, went out on a deer hunt, and
Turtie-No- Head accidentally shot his
partner, according to his own statement.
The young and good looking squaw of
the dead Indian, with the natural instinct
of her race, attempted TO hire a Young
half-breed, named O'Connor, or White
Elk, to kill Turtle -No-Head's squaw.
The half-treed was 10th to undertake the
job, but the good-looking squaw, who is
the belle of the tribe, promised him her
favor if he would do 1t. 1t was the old
story over again of designing woman
and weak man-the old story behind
which Eyraud, the French stranger, Is
biding-and finally White Elk consented
and killed the sguaw by crushing her
head with an ak as she was entering her
tepee. The crime had been kept quiet.
A deputy United States marshal went to
Fort Berthold last week and arrested
OCoEnor and the squaw who caused the
murder, and the prisoners have been lodg-
ed in the county jail here to await hear
ing on Thursday. A number of Indians
as witnesses are in town, and great many
more will be attracted BY the coming trial.
The two will doubtless pay the death pen
atty. This will be the only legal trial of
an Indian for murder in the Dakotas since
the execution of Brave Bear at Yanktown
ten years ago tor the murder of white
settler named johnson.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
NEW YORK, July "a first class raid
against Chinese exclusion seems to be on
foot throughout the East. Fraudulent
interviews with the Chinese minister on
the subjects is being made the excuse tor
attacks on California and the Pacific
Coast generally, on account of its attt,.
tude on the Chinese question. Colonel
Bee succeeds In having bis special plea
for the Chinese printed in the World
through the agency of telegraphic cor
respondent In San Francisco. Wharton
Barker, who was engaged with Count
Mitkiewitz in securing an alleged great
concession from China for syndicate, also
appears in lengthy article to abuse the
exclusion act. The majority of the Wash.
lngton correspondents of the New York,
Boston and Philadelphia papers to-day
take hand in spreading the idea that the |
restriction measures are unjustiiable and |
demagogical, and many papers -ia- other
sections OF the East also sieze the occasion
to read the Pacific Coast dwellers lesson.
1Ns6thing like it has been Seen In the East
in years, and never since the Chinese lit
erary bureau at Washington San Franz
cisco and New York went into the busi- |
ness of distorting facts concerning the
Chinese question on the Pacific coast.

The Board of Trade Fund Sent to
Both Dakotas.
1t took a considerable amount of hust-
ling for the board of trade to get enough
members together to form quorum
yesterday, but finally a sufficient num-
Der were gathered together, and the
business commenced. Chairman BaS-
Sett, of the relief committee, reported
that Sc, 1880 had been raised by the
board OF trade and jobberS' union COM
mltteeS, one-half of which sum had been
sent to each of the Dakotas. There was
some little dissatisfaction expressed be-
cause the fund had been divided, as it
had been the original intention that the
money should go to South Dakota, as
the board had pledged itself to raise
$1,000 for the aid of the South Dakota
sufferers. Finally the report of the COM
mittee was adopted.
a telegram was read from Gov. Mel
lette, of South Dakota, asking that Mill
neapoliS send representative to see
that the supplies were properly distrib-
uted at Huron. Such a formality was
finally not considered necessary. E. p.
Wells, one of the members of the North
Dakota seed wheat commission, spoke
few words to the BOARD in explanation
of the plans of the commission. He said
that Minneapolis had contributed $780,
900 and st. Paul $4,000 TO the guaran-
tee, and thought that Minneapolis
should do as well as its sister city. He
asked for som assistance in asking for
guarantees, as he was stranger in the
city. and the board appointed w. E.

to assist him in his labors and engineer

1t may appear little audacious to say so,
but, on its face, 1.-THE Two Sisters,'' the
latest production from the pens of Denman
Thompson and George W. Ryer. is superior
as play to their earlier aud more famous
production of "Ihe Old Homestead" which,
by the way, closes the longest run play
ever bad in New York city at the Academy
of Music there next month. THE Two Sis
ters' was seen at the Grand last evening for
the first time in Minneapolis, and should
deservedly pack that cosy theater at
each performance. The great point
of superiority of the work over THE Old
