fields, seek better highways and be
guided only by our highest conceptions
of truth, then will the time come when
landlords and tenants will be the new
division, and serfdom take the place
of freedom.
For years legislation has been
against the debt burdened farmer, and
to remove the load. to come out from
under the rule of mammon, every hus
bandmsn must join hands with his
brothers and march in a solid phalanx
to victory. That this will be accomp,
lished, Ihave little hope. l am afraid
it will take a long time to get the ma
jority of hands claspei across Mason
and Dixon's line, and am fair enough,
my brothers of the South, to say that
it is our fault.
You, who have never lived here,
cannot understand how determlnediy
the Republican party works to keep
alive old issues and prevent a fraternal
spirit coming into our thoughts OF you.
The Northeastern farmers belong
largely to that party, and they are
afraid of their brothers of the South,
and the leaders are constantly striving
to engender hatred, and, [ must con
fess, have succeeded pretty well. Our
Democratic majorities come more
from the workmen of the shops than
of the fields, and my faith in the
farmer quickly throwing aside old
prejudices is very small. If the move
ment had started here and then swept
Southwark, the feeling might have
9 d ferent. Sill it vas not to
work that way.
All, of course, have not this Ill
feeling. There are many like myself,
to whom the war is q dream, who look
upon the South as a land of romance,
chivalry and dreams. Within whose
souls there yet breathes the melody Of
old plantation songs, and over whose
rakng horns there foats the perfume
Of her lavish blossoms.
When but a boy, my father read to
me the rich romances of your land, OF
her great men whose souls were
bathed in poetic, chivAlrous impulses,
and my heart has always longed to
to visit the cline of my boyhood
dreams; and sometime [ shall. Imay
be disappointed, but it cannot equal
that which 1 have felt when struggling
through the rains of spring, the
droughts of summer, and autumn's
early frost, have found my hired men
not paid, my taxes staring me in the
face, and the interest on my mortgage

gloom
Mr.. Editor, after writing aimlessly
between the breaks of business, l see
your paper says that it wants facts,
not theories, and am dismayed a little.
But this is both, and while my sober
sense might say destroy it, my warmer

Sioux FALLS, s. D.. May 2s.-Plenty
Horses is a free Indian. No inkling OF
the sudden termination of the case had
been given. At 2 O'Clock when court
convened, testimony being completed,
the attorneys were preparing to commence
their arguments when Judge Shiras said:
There is no need of going further with
this case. What l shall say is the opinion
OF this court, but not OF my colleague. 1t
is said on my wi responsibility. The
Judge then said in substance that the
guilt or innocence of the accused turned
upon the question as to whether or not a
state OF aetu ii war existed at the time of
Casey's death. In the opinion OF the
u 1t had been shown beyond doubt
that such a state of war did exist. I'm

Horses was surrounded by ladies and
other spectators, who shook hands with
him for some time, after which he went to
a hotel, where he spent some time writing
autographs Tor bystanders.
At noon today White Moon, a Chey-
enne scout, who Vas with Casey and who
had been here as a witness, attempted
suicide by stabbing himself in the base of
the neck. he was homesick and despond-
ent. He will recover.

WASHINGTON, May % The president
this afternoon received a dispatch from
Minister Lincoln, at London, saying that
official notice had been given in the COM
mons that a bill would be introduced on
Monday to authorize the queen to pro-
hibit British subjects from taking seals in
Behring sea. The question engaged the
presidents principal attention today, aud
he had a conference with the cabinet.
One point considered was the advisabihty
of sending war vessels to Behring sea to
reinforce the event cutters 10 prevent
ing the taking of seals in case CLOSED sea-
son Is decided upon. This feet would. of
course, co operate with the English war
ships now in those waters In the enforce
meDt of the agreement as concluded. 1t
IS understood that the secretary of the
navy reported that there are three naval
vessels that could be prepared for this
service without much delay.
The news OF Goschen's action was re-
ceived with satisfaction at the state de-
partment. Generally it is taken as an
indication that the British government
is preparing 10 accept the conditions i'm
posed by the president as preliminary TO
arbitration and cause British vessels to
refrain from sealing in the meantime. The
fixed period for the cessation of sealing
referred to by Goschen probably means
the remainder of this season. During
this time the arbitrators (for it is to be
presumed that the British governments
action carries with it the acceptance of
the terms of arbitration held out by the
president during the correspondence will
have an opportunity to reach an agree
ment.
In the event the point of arbitration is
not reached, it may be that some time
will be consumed in sending an expert
commission to Alaska to investigate the
actual condition of the rookeries and settle
the question which is still at issue between
the governments Of Great Britain and the
United States as to whather what is
known as "pelaRic sealing" or killing the
seals in the open sea on their way to aud
from the shore rookeries is fully as de
structive of seal life as has been reported
by United STATES treasury agents. The
revenue cutter Bear will sail from Seattle
Saturday on her annual cruise in Alaska
waters.

he was hastily carried to an ante room

found him dead. When the
announcement was made the assembly
at once voted to adjourn for the day and
instead of the banquet assigned for
tonight, a prayer meeting was announced.
A committee was appointed to make
suitable arrangements tor the transfer of
the body to Its last resting place, aud brief
speeches were delivered by several dele
gates. Mr.. Breckenridge was a son OF
Rev. Dr.. j. w. Breckenridge. who was

CHICAGO, May 2s.-Capt. Porter of
the United States secret service has re-
turned from Southern Illinois. where,
within the past week, he put behind the
bars the preacher couuterfeIters George
Vancil and Jocmiah Holmes. He tells a
queer story. Holmes was a counterfeiter
and general outcast in Duquoin. Vancil
was a Baptist minister. He undertook to
convert Holmes after everybody else had
given him up and succeeded. The people
throughout the country marveled. Holmes
soon became pastor OF a Campbellite
church near Duquoin. After a time he
gave Nancll counterfeit money and Yancil
passed it. Later on the same thing was
repeated. About this time Uncle Sans
emisssries swooped down on Holmes,
capturing a regular connterfeiter's outfit.
Nancil was arrested later. He swears
that he took the money and continued his
acquaintance with Holmes to learn his
secrets and expose the gang. He Is heat
broken over his arrest, but Rev" Jerry
Holmes is holding ~revivaIs in jail.

McCrvstal and o'MaIIeY on Trial

NEW ORLEANS. May 23.-When the
MeCrystal and O'Malley bribery cases
we're called today, the attorney submitted
a motion for a change of venue. The
state introduced a number of witnesses,
including the leaders of the committee of
safety. All testified that they believed
the accused could obtain a fair trial here.
Counsel for the defense then abandoned
the motion and gave notice of withdrawal
OF the plea of not guilty by his clients,
and stated that he would enter a demurrer
similar to that sustained by the court in
the case against Granger, in which the in
formation was quashed on the ground
that the allegations set forth were not
sufficiently specific. The cases went over
till tomorrow.

Boston, May Ex-senator Edward
Oliver Wolcott Of Colorado. who was one
Of the handful of Republicans in the SEN
ate who had courage enough to throw off
the party yoke and help the Democrats
kill the force bill, is making a short stay
in Boston. He made a few revelations
about Western politics which differ some
what from the views obtained by Presi.
dent Harrison on his recent excursion.
Said Senator Wolcott: Out IN our sec
ton we are all opposed to Harrison, owing
to his attitude on public business affecting
the great West. The ovation which was
accorded to hun during his trip through
our part OF the country is not meant for
Harrison personally, but Tor ~the<presi-
dent. While Mr.. Harrison was cordially
received by the Reople of the West. |
dare say that If Grover Cleveland or
James o.. Blaine were to follow after him
they would receive such a recsI ton as
would make President Harrison hang his
head in shame. Everybody out my way
on the Republican side is for Blaine, and
we are earnestly praying for his recovery.
MIR. Blaine has given Us a splendid ad-
mlnistration, and his ability as evinced in
his diplomatic negotiations with the Brit
ish and Italian governments relative to
the rights of our people, has won for him
a name and fame among the American
people which entities him to ANYTHING
within the pIft of the Republican party
When asked If the force bill would be
an issue in the next Senator
Wolcott replied: The force bill is as
dead as Julius Caesar. We have many
which seem to me to be un- Ameri-
can, but this bill was not only un-Ameri-
CAP, but contrary to the spirit of our free
institutions, and | am surprised to see
such men as Senator Hoar aud Mr.. Lodge
struggling to revive a nefarious bill. No.

The BurItngton,s Time system.

CHICAGO, May 2s.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company
has just completed what is SAID to be the
most elaborate ume-servlce system in
existence. A code OF signals giving the
exact time will hereafter be sent
automatically over the entire Burlington
system at 4 O'Clock every day from the
central office in Chicago. The performance
begins at 1851, and after eleven connections
are made an ingenious piece of mechanism
finishes the work. Three thousand tele.
graph instruments from Chicago to Denver
and the Black Hills, and from st Louis
aud Kansas City to St. Paul signal the
seconds in unison with the big clock in
Chicago. and at 4 O'Clock every trmepiece
IN the circuit is automatically set by the
master clock in the central office, reducing
to a minimum the danger of accidents
from mistakes in time. The mechanism
by which this automatic signaling is done
consists OF a machine which moves in re-
Spouse to the closing and opening of a
circuit by the master clock. This is
accomplished by connection with a circuit
closer on the pendulum of the clock.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2s.-From the
few Developments that have taken place
in the affairs of the Spring Garden bank
1t is evident that when the full story of
the banks management Is told it will
fairly rival that of the looted keystone
bank. Receiver Fisher said today that
the further he examined into the affairs
the blacker the outlook became tor the
depositors. Much of the collateral is of
the most dubious character. A member
Of the depositors' investigating com
mitee investigating the banks affairs
said tonight that among the collateral
of the bank were two notes. one for $50
900 and the other for $40, 900, drawn by
a person who has no existence. The sus-
pension of the Surlng Garden bank has
been far reaching in its effects and many
business houses have been seriously
crippled. Yesterday the American Ma
chine company was forced to assign by
reason Of the bank failure, and today the
Mllward Cliff Cracker company made
an assignment from the same cause. The
assets are thought to exceed the liabilities.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, May 2S.-The rush
of men for work at the various plants con-
tlnues. In most cases, however, they are
turned off with an excuse and given to
understand that their services are not
needed. Hundreds of old miners are
drifting from one works to another in the
vain hope of finding work, but every
where they go they are met with the same
statement, mo work now" This simply
means that the blacklist has gone through
the region, and a man refused at one
works is certain to be refused at another.
As the result they are either preparing to
leave the district for another field or are
drifting aimlessly about, and more homes
have been broken up by the strike that
lust closed than BY all the strikes that
preceded this gigantic failure. Reports
are coming in hourly of the restitution
of hundreds of families.
