FATHER CRAFT WRITES.
The Wounded Indian Missionary Tells
How Matters Stand.


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.--The follow
ing telegram has been received from
Rev. Father Graf, the Indian mission
ary who was wounded through the
lungs in the fight at Wounded Knee
creek:
"PINE RIDGE, s. D Jan. 13, '91.
"Mr. Austin E.. Ford, EDITOR New
Freeman's Journal:
"My. wound feels much better, and I
may recover. am very hopeful. |
authorize you to contradict for me in
nay name, through the press, the re-
ports in circulation that I blame the
army for the sad tragedy at Wounded
Knee creek. Those reports do grave in
justice to our soldiers, and are instiga-
ted by those adverse to an honorable
settlement of the present trouble, and
hostile to the desire of every true friend
of the indians, that they be permanent
ly transferred from the charge of the
Indian bureau to the war department.
1t is only by such transfer that the
Indians can expect just treatment.
"The whole trouble originated
through whites, who had gone about
most industriously and misrepresented
the army ard its movements upon all
the agencies. The indians were in
consequence alarmed and suspicious.
They had been led to believe that the
true aim of the military was their ex-
termination. The troops acted with
greatest kindness and prudence. In the
Wounded Kee fight the Indians fired
first. The troops fired only when com.
PEELED to. I was between both and saw
all. Rev. FRANCIS M. j. CRAFT"

Amend the Constitution.

As the present constitution now reads
the Congressmen do not take their
seats until more than q year after they
have been elected, This measure Is
wrong for many reasons. IL the Con-
Qressmen took their seats at the session
commencing shortly after their elec-
ton, they would come to Congress
fresh from the people. The questions
upon which they were elected would
be alive and pressing, and there can be
no doubt but that the Congressman
would be more thoroughly In accord
with the people than they are after q
year or more has elapsed before they
commence their legislative career.
The next great reason why the con-
stitution ought to be amended Is this:
AS it stands at present the old Con-
gress has left to 1t four months of life
after the people have passed upon its
acts. In the present instance, the peo-
pie have passed upon the Mckinley
bill and repudiated 1t. They have
passed upon the fraud and force bill,
and decided to have none of 1t. They
have decided that the next apportion-
ment of Congress shall be made by
the House Just elected. They have
repudiated the extravaganza of the
present Congress. They have decided
that Reeds Rules are Revolutionary
and should be abolished. They have
acted upon all the legislation and
threatened legislation of the present
Congress, and by an overwhelming ma
ijority rejected them. Yet the Con-
gress repudiated by them, In It's short
lease of life refuses to allow any amend
ment to the Mckinley law, it threat
ems to pass the "force and fraud" bill
it threatens to pass an apportlonment
radically wrong, and based upon q
fraudulent census; its powers to reck
lessly spend the peoples money are
just as great as ever, and Reed still con
tinues to be the boss of the House ifno
of Congress.
The people can receiveno redress TO
a year, the relief to which they are en-
titled cannot be granted for more thar
a year. and by the time new Congress
meets the questions will not be as fresl
in the minds of the new Congressmer
as if they took their seats shortly afte
they were elected. This is defect II
our constitution that ought to be RENE
died as soon as possible, and the incom
ing Democratic Congressman ought Il
submit an amendment providing 70
such change.-Hamilton Herald.

The Stewart Amendment.

Here is the full text of the amendment
which Senator STEwARr offered to the Senate
Finance bill, and upon which the eight Re.
publican Senators from the west united and
helped to lay aside the Force bill:
That any owner of silver bullion not too
base for the operations of the mint may de-
posit the same. in amounts of the value OF
not less than 300, at any mint of the United
States, to be formed into standard dollars
or bars for his benefit and without charge:
and that, at the said owners option, he may
receive therefore an equivalent of such stand
ard dollars in treasury notes of the same
form and description and having the same
legal qualities as the notes provided for by
the act approved July IA, 1890, entitled can
act directing the purchase of silver bullion
and the issue of treasury notes thereon and
for other purposes" And all such treasury
notes issued under the provisions of this act
shall be legal tender, for their nominal
amount, in payment of all debts, public and
private and shall be receivable for customs,
taxes and all public dues, and when so re.
ceived may be reissued in the same manner
and to the same extent as other treasury
notes.
This, it will be seen, is free coinage of sill
yer, plain and simple; and that is the issue
presented.

eR"The st. Louis Globe Democrat recog-
nized as one of the leading Republican jour-
mails of the county, makes the following re-
markable confession.
Senator Sherman insists on his plan to is-
sue $500, 900, 600 of 2 per cent. bonds. With
this it is proposed to buy the 4 per cent.
bonds at premium, but there is something
more than an exchange of bonds in this
branch of the scheme. There is no use fool
ing with the American people. 1t may as
we'll be told that the revenues of the near
future in relation to the expenditures are
somewhat problematical. The plain truth
is that the 5000 900 of per cent. bonds
are to meet deficiency in the treasury,
should one occur. That there will be a de-
fciency the next fiscal year few persons
doubt.
1t will be seen that Republicans them
selves, being the judges, admit that there
will be deficiency in the treasury before
many months roll around. The Republican
looters have made sad havoc with the surplus
left by Grove" Cleveland. The Republican
policy is to squander and steal the funds in
stead of reducing taxation.

Stopping the Paper.

After you get upon your ear and make up
your mind to "stop" your paper to make
your editor feel humiliated, just poke your
finger in water and then pull it out and look
for the hole. Then you will know how sadly
you are missed. The man who thinks pa
per can't survive without his support ought
to go off and stay awhile. When he comes
back he will find that half his friends didn't
know he was gone. The other half didn't
care cent and the world at large hadn't
kept any account of his movements what
ever. You will probably find some things in
your home paper that you cannot indorse.
Even the Bible is rather plain and hits some
hard licks. If you were to get mad and burn
your Bible the hundreds of presses would still
be publishing. And what is more you will
sneak around and borrow copy from your
neighbor. 1t is much better to keep your
vest pulled down and your subscription paid
up.

The dictionary defines "trade" to be
"the exchange of good for other goods,
or for money" Free trade, therefore,
means the right to exchange freely,
without restriction. One party cannot
make trade; the term naturally re-
quires two actors. Trade not only re-
quires the action of two parties but
supposes their relations friendly. A
man will not trade with his enemy.
Trade also supposes that each party is
benefited. Men will not trade when
they lose by it, nor even when they
think they will lose. Franklin says
sin transactions of trade it is not to be
supposed that, like gaming, what one
party gains the other must necessarily
lose. The gain of each may be equal"
Free trade is admitted by protectionists
to be perfect in theory, but lacking in
practice. Things that are perfect in
theory are perfect in practice, because
true theories are founded on facts.
They gay under free trade our indus
tries would be ruined, our laborers
would starve, and the country would
be flooded with the products of foreign
pauper labor.

lcss Ages.
That man. worship Is childish, unre-
publican, detcstablc, every American
will admit, although, to see the favor
lite phrase of a noted 'juriSt, sit is a
good deal pracCiced in this commu-
nifty" But woman-worship, what
shall we say of that? 1t is 4 ticklish
subject to handle, for the. ladies-some
of them at least1think they were
made to be adored and are Jealous OF
their perogative. We oil know that
"Thc world was sad, the Garden was o wild
And man, the hermit, sighed till woman
smiled"
What was his first impulse when she
smiled the poet leases us to conjecture.
Perhaps, electrified by, her beauty, no
bent his knee in homage. Going to
sleep as be did q disconsolate bachelor,
and waking as he did with lovely
wife by his side, it is not difficult to
suppose that he became upon the in
slant somewhat uXorious. Small
blame to him if he FRUSTRATED himself
before her, placed her pretty foot up
on his neck, and swore to be her slave
forever.
But woman is not novelty in these
days. She does not take us by sur
prise, and there is rather more of her
in the world than there is of man.
Ought she, then, to expect the same de-
votion that she received when she was
u scarcer article, and the other Sex was
not rs well acquainted with her as it is
at present? She complains, as a
strong-minded individual, that she is
denied her rights as the intellectual
equal mot to say superior} of the
creature with beard; that he pre-
suncs upon his muscle and his whisk-
crs, and Expresses her. She complains,
also, as wcali!ing, that she is not
treated with the tenderness and re-
speCt to which her dcfcn iclcss condi-
ton and great need Of protection enti-
tic her. There may be some justice in
both complaints; yet, upon the whole,
women is still the adorable and adorcd
paragon of civilized socicty.-N. Y.

THE SIZE OF TRUNKS.
A BnGGngeman Give, Few Points to
Travellers.

n Bnggageman Gives II Few Points to
Travellers.
Trunks have not increased in size in
recent years." the baggage master said.
The steady increase of travel caused
the railroads to enforce more strictly
their rules concerning the weight of
travellers baggage, and that checked
the growth of the trunk. The so-called
Saratoga marks about the limit of the
trunks development Larger trunks
are sometimes carried, but usually they
are owned by drummors or others en-
gagged in special pursuits. Some drum
mcrs carry great quantity of bag
gage. dry goods man may have
dozen trunks. / have known n carpet
man to clrry truck load of sample
packed in big telescope cases. Doubt
less he had to pay out more for extra
baggage than for his own transporta-
ton. Travellers generally carry more
baggage than they did twenty years
ago. The system of checking has been
greatly improved, and many more
points are REACHED, and it is easier to
get around with trunk than it used
to be. The great majority carry only
"hN Va uhtNS Va t'nJ W c"Ot buO oOluS
travellers have fifteen or twenty pieces
of baggage or more. Very few trunks
are broken in handling when you con-
slider the large number handled. Sup
pose man stacks up against two
hundred and fifty-pound trunk; he can't
handle that as he would ten-pound
package. A man who takes trunk Of
that weight off carriage or wagon
is apt to drop it a little hard on tho
counter, and the lady who owns it
thinks it is being handled roughly, but
it isn't. There is knack in handling
trunks that comes by practice only.
Baggngemcn receive no special train
ing, but they must be strong to start
with; the rest they gain by experience.
We still get many flfmsy trunks, but
generally speaking they are better con-
structed than they used to be; people
find that it pays to get durable trunks"
