The $500 was paid. He ran his own
campaign, asking no one to help him in
his expenses. HIS campaign was an
exceptionally cheap one, being run by
a committee of the captains personal
friends, to any one OF whom he
would have entrusted his pOcketboOk.
They were careful of all expense, and
no extravaganza was INDUCED in.
Despite this, the captain had to spend
considerable money, and considers that
he has done his share. He evidently
looks upon the state league with con-
siderable amusement, taking little stock

The general opinion down here seems
to be that the league was an absurd
farce, that gross extravaganza must
have prevailed in its methods of eXpen-
diture, and that it does not deserve to
be helped out. Although they do not
say so in so many words. the evident
thought of most Minnesota members of
congress is that Governor Merriam, if
anyone, is the man who should go down
into his pocket. One of them said the
other day: Merriam spent so much
I money before his nomination that he
had none to spare afterwards.

valuable work than any of them.

VINDICTIvE AND BRUTAL.
Why Rick Is Made on Restoring
Capt. ByPne.

Capt. Byrne.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. GA bill was
introduced last December by Mr.. Oates
(by reQuest), which is causing some
disturbance in military circles. The
bill is as follows: BE it enacted, ETC.,
That the president be, and he is
hereby, authorized to nominate. and.
by and with the advice and consent of
the senate, appoint Edward Byrne. late
Il captain in the Tenth regiment of cav
airy, captain of cavalry in the Army
OF the United States, with his original
rank and date of commission, and that
lac shall be assigned TO the first vacancy
occurring in his grade in the cavalry
arm OF the service; provided, that he
shall receive no pay for the period he
was out of the service other than that
already received at the time of his
muster out" The officers of the
Tenth regiment OF cavalry have adj
dressed letter, of which the following
is copy, to the chairmen the military
committees of the senate and house:
This man was discharged from the
service Jan. l, 1871. He has been out of
the service since. 1t was reported that
officer. He was about four and One-half
yeavs in the regular service, with no
good record therein. Edward Byrne
was entirely unfit to command troop.
especially of this regiment. He was no.
tOriously vindictive and brutal to his
men: he caused them to be tied up by
their thumbs until their sufferings were
terrible. He shot prisoner when the
prisoner was lying on the ground under
charge of the guard. A report will be
found on file in the adjutant generals
office, signed by his colonel, setting
forth the facts of the mans hatred
of colored troops, said report dat
ed about October, 1870. He was
lnsubordinate to his superior officers.
He has been absent thirteen years, and
his reinstatement will open the door to
many others. This bill places him over
officers who have served faithfully and
continuously. We do not believe that
the man Byrne should be restored to
service. and respectfully request that
his record may be spread before the
committee before It makes its report.
The terms of the law of 1870 provide
for return to the service of the class
of officers to which Byrne belonged
discharged with one years pay as Sec
ond lieutenants only, and we, therefore,
in addition to other foregoing reasons,
beg consideration of this communica-
ton" The letter is signed by the Off
GERS of the Tenth cavalry. As this reg
iment has been stationed for some time
at various points in the West, the fore
going may be interesting. An effort
has been made before to get Byrne re-
mstated, and bills with that object in
view have been introduced before,
without success. When Gen. Logan
was chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs similar bill was killed on
the protest Of the colonel and other Off
GERS under whom ByrRe had served.
Strong influence is being brought to
bear upon the committee in the hope of
securing favorable report.

Window FavOrs a New Customs
District in Alaska.


WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Senator
DClph's bill to constitute Mary island,

Dunalaska ports of delivery within the
collection district of Alaska, and appro-
priating So, 900 to erect the necessary
buildings at Mary island and Sand
Point was referred by the senate COM
mittee on commerce to Secretary Win
dom for an expression of his views
thereon. In his response to the COM
mittee the secretary says Mary island is
on the west side of the Dixon entrance,
the channel along which flows nearly
ill the commerce and navigation to
Thc island is about 800 miles
from Sitka, the only exist

Including the numerous Islands between
these two places, is destitute of lawful
facilities for entering vessels and I'M

and injurious traffic with the natives.
AT present the steamships constituting
8he regular line between Portland and
Sitka carry custom house inspector on
board, to facilitate, as far as may be the
operation Of commerce and protect the
public interest. Such arrangement, the
secretary says, is impracticable with re-
gard TO the numerous trading vessels,
and unequal to the necessities and
characteristics of the trade of the To-
cality, which requires unloading Of
merchandise at various points. Mary
island is of 40 value except for custom
house purposes. 1t is recommended as
the best site for the initial port of

~ off # n -
Yjne and coast survey and the shipping
and mercantile interests. Wrangel, LOG
miles north of Mary island, has already
been constituted customs station by
administrative action. 1t is an old and
somewhat important station of trade.
Juneau is on the mainland of the PENN
sula, 200 miles north of Wrangel
towards Sitlla. The necessary Office and
buildings are there. 1t is a large and
fIourishing town. the center of the min
ing industries OF the territory. Kodiak
is on an island of the same name nearly
400 miles west of Sltka. 1t is the center
of the salmon fishing and canning in
dustry, one of the important re-
sources of the territory. There
is single officer and prop
er building on the ground.
Sand Point is on Popoff island. one of
the Alentian chain. several hundred
miles from the main land. 1t is the
rendezvous Cor hundreds of fishing and
hunting vessels, and, therefore, one of
ehe most important customs station in
the territory. The inducements for
smuggling and a demoralizing traffic
with the natives are so great and so
largely exercised that no time should
pe lost i'll providing the necessary su-
perYision, says the secretary. Ouna-
iaska is in the Aleutian chain / 200 miles
west of Sitka. at the principal entrance
to Behring's sea. A customs officer has
been stationed there for many years.
Except at Mary island and Sand Point
the secretary says there will be no eX-
pense consequent upon the passage of
the bill.

and carried to the White house letter
purporting to be signed by benjamin
Harrison. president of the United

worth 500 month was awaiting him,
and directing him TO report at once.
Mr.. Halford quickly undeceived the
poor man, and went with him to Chief
Postoffice Inspector Rathbone to see il
the cruel practical joker could not
be discovered. 1t was a heartiess bit
of deception. Powell was given enough
money to take him home, and Chief In

II the National Government Ia to lend
money to farmers at one or two per cent
interest, why shouldn't it lend to some
of the failing wooden manufacturers or
dealers, or to needy merchants, or in
deed to any Of the thousands upon
thousands Of people in the various trades
and professions who haven't as much
spending money as they desire. II
| ncle sam is to furnish n market
for agricultural products, why
shouldn't he, in the goodness of his
heart, furnish an equally good market
for the products Of our mines aud
manufactures There il no disputing
the fact that, in the past the farmer
hasn't received from our law makers the
consideration that has hGAp accorded to
other branches of industry, but IL i.
equally true that he has nothing to gain
by demanding in his favor concession.
which he would not be willing to grant
to any other citizen. Thoughtful. conser-
vstive men must realize the truth Of this,
and the true friends Of agriculture will
hesitate before asking favors for it which
they would not be willing to concede 10
any other industry. II such legislation l.
secured through force Of ,ircumsta noes,
the ultimate result will prove
more Of an injury than blessing. The
adoption by the government OF most Of
the socialistic or semi socialistic schemes
now advocated by farmers or their PRO
fessional friends" would cost the entire
body of tax payers of the country enor-
nous sums. while the farmers would be
the chief or only gamers. Would this
be fair: Class legislation has always
been Justly Odious everywhere: will the
farmers of America insist on such legis-
lation on their own behalf? Why not
extend the benefits Of the laws which
they demand to other classes suffering
the same or similar hardships. Rural

American Newspaper Methods In sweden.
We have an ultra cheap newspaper
here, the success of which is truly Of the
American sort. say its success is
American because the paper has grown
up so quickly. The paper is called The
Stockholm Nyheter News. 1t is thor
oughly radical politically, and advocates
necessarily the abrogation of the mon
archy and the state church.
It was only three years ago that the
publisher got what was, according to the
view of many, mad idea of printing IA
paper for the subscription price of one
GRE or three crowns per year. 1t would
be impossible to get any lower. Ahttle
over 5000 subscriptions came in on the
start. But without advertisements 1t
was printed at loss. The ads did
not flow in like the subscriptions. Well,
the nre system was again set in motion
in another direction. After the paper
had been going for three months it com
menced TO have widespread circulation
and more comprehensive than any other
Stockholm daily.
At the beginning Of the publication
there were about 100 newsboys, now
there are over 80 little fellows who reap
the farthings. The publisher receives
one ere from the newsboys, and they i'll
turn sell them for two Rre. the cheapest
price ever paid for newspaper i'll this
country. The daily sale Of this paper on
the streets and outside is about $4,000
co,,ics The suhsrriution list has grown Ia
