NATIONAL RELIEF FOR SUFFERING
PEOPLE.

The reported restitution in Oklahoma
is what might have been anticipated from
the mad rush into the territory last We; r.
The immigrants were ill-provided with
agricultural tools and the land was all
wild. They had no warrant for expecting
any return from the soil the first year, and
very few of them brought in sufficient pro-
vision to maintain themselves through two
seasons. As consequence an appeal is
now being sent up TO Congress to furnish
supplies to rescue the people from starva-
ton.
The case is pitiful one, to be sure, and
demands speedy measures to prevent great
suffering, for added to their other mis-
fortunes drought has prevailed and the
whole country is parched and crying for
water. But should Congress intervene {?
We think not, since if it is to use the pub
lie funds for relief of such distress, il will
be unable to resist similar appeals for
charity from other sections season after
season, and thus the public treasury will
become charity box, which it was never
intended that it should be- The public
funds are provided by the people for the
specific purposes of national government,
and not to be disbursed in charity. 1t is
very true that Congress has several times
voted sums of money to be expended in
+; aes Of great distress for relief of the
Suffering, as when the Mississippi food
occurred, the great fire in Maine, and the
burning of the Richmond Theater. But
Il is no longer question that such appro-
siations we're unlawful, and it is certain

HIS LAST BATTLE.
Death of George Runck, Battle-Scarred
Voforop

Death of George Runck, a Battle-Scarred
Veteran.
Referring to the death near that place a
few days ago of a veteran of the late war,
the Gait Gazette of Saturday says:
This week an old veteran died near Gait,
George Runck, more Familiarity known as
George Wilson, who served through the
war and participated in twenty seven diff
ferent engagements, seventeen of which are
listed on the discharge papers of the de-
ceased soldier. He was member of Cap
tain Deans Company @, First United States
Cavalry, and having served three years in
the army previous to June, 1863, he re-
enlisted In his old company as veteran
and First Sergeant and served until the
close of the war. His final and honorable
discharge was received in Arizona in 1867
Endorsed and certified to on this discharge
are seventeen battles in which he was en-
gagged under the command of the gallant
Phil Sheridan.
This old veteran carried the scars of battle
with him to the grave. Portion of one of
his forearms was shot away, his left leg
bore the marks of bullet wounds, and the
most serious irjury received during his
lengthy and successful military career was
from bullet wound in the forehead, from
WHICH ne suffered InentaliY until the nOur
of his death. No old soldier could possibly
produce better record while in active
service than is recorded in the discharge
papers of George Runck. He served seven
years ia The regular army.
The deceased was a native of Bavaria,
and So years of age at the time of his death.
By trade he was shoemaker, and some
time ago conducted little shop at Elliott
Recently, however, he hes been engaged IN
woo6chopping to earn livelihood. The
poor old soldier was rather hard pushed
for the past few years to make living and
he barely eked out miserable existence
The old veteran suffered great mental
pain at times produced from the severe
forehead wound received in the service,
and to appease this suffering he was wont
to indulge too freely of stimulants. Mon
day evening be was found dead near his
cabin, on Dry creek, south of Uncle"
Presbury's place, about five miles east Of
Gait. Franklin Post No. LAT, G. A. R..
of this place, Immediately took charge of
the body, brought it to Gait and laid it out
in their lodge hall. The funeral took place
Wednesday, at 2 o'clock P. NJ under the
auspices of the local Post, and all that was
earthly of the old veteran was laid to rest
in the Liberty Cemetery,

GOOD TIMES COMING.
When Trout Will be More Plentiful in
the American River.

When Trout Will be More Plentiful in
the American River.
Deputy Fish Commissioner Smith has
urged the Board of Commissioners to plant
fish in the streams of this county, says the
Ell Dorado Republican. He recently re-
ceiyed letter from Superintendent Wood
bury stating that some trout were planted
in the South Fork of the American liver at
Strawberry Valley, and also in the Middle
Fork at Rubicon Springs, in 1889, and that
more have been planted this year from the
Tahoe hatchery.
The Superintendent says that the screens
required by the recent ordinance of the
Supervisors are too large in the mesh, and
that meshes not larger than one-fourth of
an inch are necessary to protect the small
fish. He proposes to send Dr. Smith for
distribution in our streams 10000 rainbow
trout from Sissons.
The fish will be distributed where they
are likely to do the most good, but the
doctor says not one of them will 60 into
the headwaters of the Costumes. He is
reliably informed that residents above and
around Grizzly Flat either permi: or indulge
in the slaughter of fish with giant powder,
and so long as this practice continues it
would be folly to put young fish in the
streams.

Lastly, remember the power of enthusi-

Christ's religion by enthusiasm. Let Its
blessings shine in our faces and ring in our
songs. Let glorious anthems rise to God.
Let all the people sing as they work. watch
and prepare for the final harvest home.

made visit to his sister In Baldwin
county, and it was at her home that he
secured the block from the aged yet serv-
iceable post. The post was hewn out of
light-wood tree, and is perfectly sound
to-day. Mr.. Dean says it is good for an
other eighty-sis years and perhaps much
longer.

An Editor Unwilling1y Led Into Telling
the Truth.
An interior exchange prefaces an obitu-
airy of q war veteran in these words:
much has been written on the history
of Inc Rebellion in this country and no
little space devoted 10 worthy praise for the
chivalry and bravery of soldiers won in the
battle field. Notwithstanding all that has
been written on this subject, half the story
will never be told. and many old veterans
are being daily consigned TO the grave,
whose epithets, if written, would add some
of the very brightest pages to the history OF
the late war"
While the editor no doubt wrote
'epitapbs." the intelligent composition who
substituted "epiihets' therefor cannot he
said to have seriously blundered When
the epithets employed by some of the old
veterans shall be written out in full they
will eurely add some startling. if not brill
liant. pages to the history of the late war,
Sheridan's epithets are said to have been
marvels of uniqueness aud force, and Joe

ENGINEERING science is making adj
vancement almost abreast with electrical
science. The Jungfrau Alp is at a hight
of 1850 feet. Engineers are boldly de-
claring that it may be reached by an I'M
derground railroad. To accomplish it will
involve the most heroic engineering of
history. But it can be done by the use of
machinery that eliminates steam as mo-
tive power. Air and electricity can each
be so harnessed, that the underground way
can be excavated without smoke or heat
in the tunnel. The modern engineers who
propose to build railroad to the Russian
shores upon the Pacific and Arctic oceans,
who talk of bridging Behring straits, of
spanning the English channel, and of gain
ing Alpine nights by tunnel, are not
dealing with visionary schemes.
