Investigations were made i'll every direction
the count suspected all the business men Of
the capital, dragged ali the relatives OF tile
broker into the affair, demanded that crlm
nal suit should be brought against the whole
world. Only OF the intimate friend Of the
house, the young bookkeeper, not soul had
any suspicion. OF the betrothal that had
shortly preceded the embezzlement not a
word had reached the outside world. And
the bookkeeper did not enter the house at all
for time. The wife Of the broker informed
him personally Of what was going on. And
much indeed had been going on within few
days.
The attempt was again made to bring the
accused invalid to confess The examining
magistrate tried with gentle words to touch
his heart. The count also told him that he
would voluntarily make over to him one half
of the securities if he would confess where
he had put them and how the place of con
cealment could be found. He appealed to
their business relations of many years, which
had come to be almost friendship. The

ARMY REFORM.

important BIn For tho Beneft Of Private
Soldiers.
F0RT LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, June IA
An important bill, about which nothing
has been said in the dispatches from
Washington, passed the United States
Senate last Saturday, having previously
passed the House on April Z. and now
only awaits the approval of the Presi-
dent to become law. Il is one OF the
most important and far-rcaching meas
ures affecting the army that has been
enacted by Congress for number OF
years. The provisions OF the bill are
these:
That on and after July 1. 1890, the
sum Of 81 per month out Of the regular
monthly pay OF all enlisted men in the
army shall be retained for the first year
of their enlistment which sum shall
not be paid until their discharge from
the service, and which shall be forfeit
ed unless they serve honestly and
faithfully to the time OF their DIS
charge. That the Secretary OF War
shall determine what misconduct shall
constitute a failure to render honest and
faithful service within the strict mean
ing Of this act But no soldier who has
deserted ut any time during the term OF
his enlistment shall be deemed to have
rendered good and faithful service.
That the money so retained from the
monthly pay of the soldier shall be
treated as deposits upon which interest
shall be paid as provided for by certain
sections of the regulations.
That enlistments shall continue to be
made for five years as now provided by
law, but at the end Of three years from
date OF enlistment every soldier whose
antecedent service shall have been
faith full. shall be entitled to receive o
furlough for three months and his dis
charge at the expiration thereof, II he
apply for it.
That the President may in his discre-
ton, and under such conditions as he
shall prescribe, permit an enlisted man
to purchase his discharge from the army.
That the army ration now provided by
law be increased by the addition thereto
of pound of vegetables, the proportion
to be fixed by the Secretary Of War.
That United States marshals, sheriffs,
constables and police officer. of towns
and cities are authorized to apprehend,
arrest and receive the surrender of any
deserter from the army for the purpose
of delivering him to any person in the
military service authorized to receive
him.
This bill makes radical changes in
the laws and regulations governing en-
listed men in the regular army as it
practically reduces the term OF enlist
ment from five to three years, and it
makes very liberal provisions for the
private soldier in other ways.
1t has been passed by Congress maii-
ly to prevent desertions, and if men de-
sert after it goes into effect they will be
deserving Of very little sympathy
should they become inmates of the
United States military prison at this
place.

SAC AND Fox AGENCY, /. T., June a.
The National Council of the Sac and Fox
Nation agreed on all the terms of the
contract with the United States Com
missioners yesterday afternoon. They
signed the treaty and closed the trade.
At the conclusion the Council rose and
Chief Keokuk delivered prayer in the
Indian tongue.
The Commissioners are elated over
the result, and consider paying ST. for
their lands better bargain than they
would have had If they paid the Chero-
KEGS 81 an acre for the Strip. The In
dams agreed to have their allotments
taken within four months after the al
loting agent arrives at the agency. This
will probably have the country ready
for opening next spring.
This reservation is thirty-five miles
long by eighteen miles wide, the longer
line extending north and south. The
Cimarron river bounds it on the north
and the North Fork on the south. The
western line is eighteen miles east Of
the eastern boundary Of Oklahoma.
After the Indians take their allot-
ments there will be 49,, 900 acres of land
for homesteaders. The Deep Fork
separates the reservation nearly into
halves, the northern part containing
the poorer land. This has q sandy
soil and red clay subsoil, and is
nearly all covered with small oak
trees, which are evenly but sparsely
distributed over the land, and will never
be worth any thing except for fuel and
fence posts. South Of Deep Fork the
land is very much better, containing
much more prairie, and equalling the
best parts of Oklahoma. This is the
part Of the reservation where nearly all
the Indians will take their allotments.

The Melting surplua.

The surplus, which has caused our
statesmen 80 much trouble, is rapidly
melting away. Congress is voting away
money out Of the treasury at such q
rapid rate that the President is reported
to be alarmed. He fears that the sur.
plus will soon become deficit
Does not this reckless use Of the pub.
lie money grow out Of the fact that the
taxation which raises it is disguised in
the form of q tariff? When q man puts
his hand into his pocket and pays out
his money to the tax collector, he sees
his bills going and 1t hurts. He knows
exactly how many dollars and cents he
is out Of pocket.
But as the National taxes, except on
whisky and tobacco, are raised by duties
on foreign goods, no man knows just
how much he pays to the Government;
and still less does any man know how
much he pays to the protected classes
whose goods he buys.
II those two facts could be seen and
measured by every man when he buys
tarif-protected goods, we should have
less Of extravaganza in Congressman
certainly less Of protection, too.

Mckinley think that tho people will
look upon this as just and fair TO them7
This looks as II Mr.. Mckinley regard
cd the home market theory AS hum
bug, and the home market itself % en-
titled to no special consideration. 1t 10
known that many OF our manufacturers
secretly entertain the same feelings
toward the home market They will
contribute literally for election ex-
penses to hold the home market for
themselves, and will make expensive
trips to Washington to see that the
agreement is carried out by putting on
high tariff-all this they will do; but
when 1t comes to the question OF show
ing how tender they love the home
consumer by selling cheaper to him than
to foreigners-no, sir, they refuse to do
that every time! Not only so, but many
of them actually sell to the foreigners
cheaper than to the American fellow
citizen. OF course such men believe in
the home market, for they make bigger
profits out Of it.
This suggests one important ques-
ton: II these people can deduct part
of the price OF their goods in order to
sell them in foreign countries, would 1t
not be just for the American people to
reduce the duties which protect these
manufacturers, and by such reduction
compel them to sell their goods at lower
prices to their fellow-citizens as we'll as
to foreigners? Is it not singular that
these men can reduce prices in order to
sell in the markets Of the world, and
then claim that they need the highest
kind of protection from those very
markets of the world so that they may
be able to hold their own home markets.
Curious! Is it not?

A Disgusted Protectionist.

Mr.. j. A. Sawyer, of the Irwin Phillips
Company of Keokuk, Iowa, who de-
scribes himself as "a Republican and a
believer in protection to American in
dustries," has expressed very positive
opinion of the Mckinley Tariff bill. He
writes q letter on the subject to E. n.
Taiter, of New York, who is large
hosiery importer and who is prominent
member of the famous Union League
Club. A few sentences from his letter
will show how this prominent Republic
an feels over the work that Mr.. McKin.
ley has done. Mr.. Sawyer says:
"our domestic industries have been fcs.
tered and protected for many years by legis.
latlve action. They have passed the infan.
tile period, and II they can not now stand
alone. with protective duties averaging Il
per cent, let them fall to the ground. our
Representative in Congress, John II. Gear.

an outrage upon tle common practical sense
OF the American people! Wewant reduction
In import dutes-not the contrary. II the
proposed schedule becomes a law, your

tailment Of consumption OF certain foreign
goods.
al am tired of class legislation; the people
generally are tired OF It. We want laws
framed in the interests OF the whole people.
We want rather to increase than diminish
our trade with other countries"
Mr.. Sawyer evidently agrees with Con-
gresham Butterworth that there can be
too much Of good thing-when protec-
ton is the good thing in question.
