AcoURT-MARTIAL Possible.
Perhaps il is not out of place to remark right
here that q prominent army officer who some
time ago attacked Miles and said he was work.
ing for political honors IN his conduct of this
campaign may soon expect to be tried by
court-martia. Up to this time the general has
been too busily engaged to a much heed to
such accusations as those referred to, but now
that the Sioux have settled down FOR awhile,
Miles will give a little vigorous attention to
those whom he and his friends regard as de-
tanners. It is generally understood among
army officers that specific ch~arges-conduct
pre1udicial to good order and military dis
cipline and conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman-will be filed at the War Depart
ment within q week or two and that the matter
viii be pushed to the farthest limit. Nowhere
have l heard any expressions of sympathy with
he officer who allowed his loquncity and per-
sonal pretudices to overstep the bounds Of social
and military common sense. His friends hive
been silent and he has probably decided ere
this that the way of the transgressor is hard.
THE DISARMAMENT.
On the 14th instant. in a telegram to General
Schofeld, in which the Sioux campaign was
said to have come to a satisfactory conclusion,
Gen. Miles remarked: II believe the disarming
will be complete" Yesterday Gen. Miles de-
parted for Chicago, and the brief but sharp
struggle between soldiers and Sioux is at an
end. How do the facts as to disarmament COM
pare with the foregoing statement? There have
been voluntarily surrendered only a few more
than 200 guns, many of them useless, many of
them extremely ancient and ineffective, even

that of burning. and SO the dwelling place Of
the wicked in the after world must be a Dit of
unquenchable fire. On the other hand, the
notion OF fire is associated with pleasing sensa-

regions, where the great enemy is cold. and

Washington and his wife is blind. Tuesday
Lula went to her unele's house during his
absence and took $50 from his coat pocket.
Then she went ont for a good time and paid for
beer, whisky. oysters and room rent in addi-
ton to purchasing a couple of gold rings. The
morning after she stole the money she divided
it between her male and female friends. The
girl told Judge Miller that Grant Martin. a
young colored man, asked her to get him some
money and that was why she went to her
uncles. She told of purchasing cigarettes for
Martin, and when she left him she said she
went to church. Policemen Dean and Fergu-
son arrested the giri for grand larceny and they
also charged Martin with receiving a portion of
the stolen money. The officers recovered
nearly S10o of the stolen money. The case
against the girl was continued until Monday.
