lived with an only daughter. She had
a falling out with her child ana went
to live with a cousin. Three months
ago her flesh was accommodating atsuch
a pace that she was unable to move
about. Heart disease set in and on
Saturday Mrs. Muihaney died. The

the huge BODY on ice, so it was en-

they were not disappointed. An orGi-

The "CharIeston', Heard From.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The navy
department has received its first news
from the Charleston since she lett Ac-
apulco, Mexico, the first Of last week,
in continued pursuit of the 1tata.
When the vessel failed to touch at
Panama within the time expected the
department said that 1t was very prob
able that it had been decided to keep
on straight down the coast and that
the Charleston would first be heard of
at some Peruvian port. This preGic-
ton is fulfilled, for the port at which
the Charleston announced her arrival
is Callao. The whereabouts OF the
Itata is as far from being known as
before the Charleston was heard from,
as Capt. Remy, her commander, re-
ported that he had seen nothing of the
Itata on his cruise down the coast.
The Charleston will join the squad

port will at no very distant date come

Military View of Plenty Horses
Defense.

CHICAGO, May 5~0.-Inquiry at the
military headquarters in this city con-
corning the trial of Plenty Horses for
the killing of Lieutenant Casey clio
ited the following statement:
The facts Of the case are that, if
there was a condition of hostilities
prevailing. it existed during the latter
part of December and January while
information was being sent to the hos
tiles that the only safe road was to re-
turn to the agency and surrender.
Orders were given to the troops to
press them on all sides and force them
back to the agency. Lieutenant Casey
was in no sense Il spy, although in
civilized warfare his capture might
perhaps have been justitiable. He was
not in the enemy's camp or in any way
disguised. He wore the uniform of
the United States army officer in the
execution Of his duties as such. He
was accommodating the country and
grounds and portions of the enemys
camp, and was killed by one Of the
hostile Indians. In q al between
civilized nations the manner of his
killing would probably be considered
by what is known as Il military COM
mission. The hostile Indian who killed
him was arrested on an order issued
by General Miles long before any civil
indictment was found against him or
before it was safe for any sheriff or
U. S. marshal to go through that coun-
try with a posse OF civil officers. He
was sent to Fort Mead and placed in
the guard house by a military escort,
in order that he might be subject to Il
civil tribunal for them to determine
the important question Of justification
Or non-justification of his taking the
life of Lieut.. Casey. He was not with
held for the time by Gen. Miles, but
by order of the wal department. The
first question for a court TO decide
would be whether the Indians in a
starving condition and under treaties
violated, can make VAR against the
United States.
Secondly, when in a condition OF

trial for taking the life of an officer in
the discharge of his duty. The pros
ecution in the trial of Plenty Horses
asked for information as to the status
of affairs existing at that time and re-
ceived all the Information that the
military could give them. The defense
also asked for information and receiv-
ed it in the same way, and the whole
matter has been left for a judge and
twelve intelligent jurymen to execute
the law anG afford justice to all con-
cerned. A warm friendship existed
between Gen. Miles and the murdered
officer, and Gen. Miles once offered
him Il position on his staff, which was
reluctantly declined for reasons that
were understood and approved by the
former.

day on the streets she was marched to the
Jail and there put up for the night with
the negroes, there being no other place to
put her. She was crowded in hot cell
with some of the worst characters in the
jail" She had been convicted of "disor-
derty conduct" and fined SIS, which she
could not pay, and had no friend who
would pay it for her. OF course this treat
ment cannot fail to cure her of disorderly
conduct. And her work in the chain-gang
will save the proud city of Columbus from
few cents of dead loss in keeping her i'm
prisoned. What blessing to live in
highly civilized land, with free govern
ment, economically administered. Proud
old Georgia!

WORK FOR THE COUNCIL.

The City Council, having disposed of
the retrenchment ordinance which has
occupied so much of its attention for the
turn its attention to the specific duties for
which it was constituted. It may be I'M
advisable to renew the improvement of
streets until the supreme court has passed
upon the validity of the payment by
bond" system but it can make prepare
tons by the passage of an ordinance
carrying out the provisions of the
charter as to the method of procedure.
1t is imperative that some strict
system should be followed in order
to avoid any question hereafter of regu-
larity. There are several actions to be
taken, which are indicated by the charter,
but it has been left to the corporation
counsel, the comptroller, the board of
works and the city clerk to adopt such
forms and make such detailed arrange
ments as each saw fit. 1t is probably
being done well, but it should have the
sanction of the legislative authority so
that in the event of a change of officials no
break could occur in the order of pro-
cedure and the formalities necessary.
Most of these, directed as they are by a
primary law based directly upon the con-
stitution, have solemnity beyond the
mere municipal regulations of a charter
subject to the general law.
There is no fault to be found with the
procedure as to assessment for street i'm
provements prescribed by the charter. 1t
is an uniform succession of acts arranged
for the purpose of protecting the property
owner against oppressive imposition and
the city against evasion of equitable obli-
cations. No difficulty can arise except by
omission or negligence.
Beyond this duty lies a vast amount of
other legislative work rendered necessary
by the charter. Many old ordinances,
good in themselves, are imperative or
faulty because they have not been made to
conform TO the new condition. The city
has far less need of new laws than of a
revision of those now buried amid mass
of manuscript and which must be dug out
by patient investigation.

The gods Industry and thrifty are on
their side, and they need no help from
politicians. Their butter sells for money.
Their oats are clean. Their horses are In
demand. Whatever they touch il genu-
inc and prosperous" Tosuch farmers, 50
far as borrowing is concerned, it makes
no difference whether interest is per
cent or 200. though they might feel some
concern as possible lenders.
Then, as to the clamor about tariff, and
taxes and the like, he says: "No duty on
iron was ever so great as the tax he pays
who leaves his sowing machine unshel-
tered in the storm. The tax on land may
be high, but he pays a higher who leaves
his meadow to grow up TO white weed and
thistles. The tax for roads is high, but
higher toll is paid by the farmer who goes
each week to town in mud knee-deep TO
his horses. There is high tax on per-
sonal property, but it is not so high as the
tar on time which is paid by the man who
spends his Saturdays lettering about the
village streets"
1t goes without saying that Senator
Stanford has made grave mistake-as
sub-treasury scheme candidate for Presi-
dent-in the choice of President for his
university. This man will poison the
minds of the California farmers sons. If
they follow his teachings there will be no
occasion or inclination to separate them
selves from other of their fellow citizens
and from new political party composed
exclusively of farmers. There will be no
arraying of class against class; no clamor-
ing for artificial remedies to cure evils
for which industry and thrift are the
only specific. But in some quarters Pro-
fessor Jordan will be hooted while Jerry
Simpson is cheered.

PRESIDENT JORDAN AND THE
FARMER.

DR.. Jordan, who is about to assume the
presidency of Stanford University in Cali
fornia, delivered farewell address before
his old charge at Indiana University on
the 18th instant. Some of his utterances
TO and about farmers and farming are
hardly in line with Senator Stanford's 2
per cent. loan ideas, nor are they in line
with the Peffer-Simpson style of oratory.
but it may be that they might be conned
and pondered by sane farmers with equal
or greater profit than can be derived from
those vagaries.
His theme was "The Saving of Time"
On bright day in April. when, accord

At work, he crossed the state on railroad
train. When the train stopped at little
station TO let off q commercial traveller
and take on crate of chickens, there
were no less than forty men and boys idly
waiting TO view the spectacle-"embodied
ghosts, dead 10 all life and hope, with only
force enough TO stand around and cape"
The Professor was wrong in his conclu-
sion. He would have found that those
forty men and boys were very lively
ghosts, full of life and hope, if some demo-
gogue had come along to convince them
that the tariff and the small per capita of
circulation were responsible for their idle
ness and unthrift. But he went on TO tell
