NEW YORK LETTER.
correspopaen &c Of the Argus.

NEW YORK, July ~, 1891.
The unearthing of gang of dia-
mond robbers, who have been ope.
rating here in very high toned
manner for long time, is the SEN
sation of the week. The robberies
were committed in very clever way,
and generally right in the presence
of the owners. The gang operated
on the very best class of stores, the
usual plan being for woman to en-
gage the salesman's attention while
man walked off with the diamonds.
In this way one ieweller lost 81, 600
worth of his stock in about two
minutes, and it took the police Eve
months to catch the thief. Many
other jewellers have been robbed i'm
a similar way, but the thieves have
escaped every time. They are SO
fashionably dressed and apparently
so wealthy that they are not sus,
pected till it is too late. The man
Howe, or Hamburg, who is now IN
custody, seems to have boon the
leader, and very clever one at that.
He is an "opium fieud," and his
craving for the drug after being
arrested caused him to confess. His
female accomplice has also been
arrested and is held in 5000 bail.
Mr.. George Bohnen, who appears
to be perfectly rational, claims that
ne has been illegally confined in the
Wards Island Insane Asylum for
seven years. He is now out on.
habees corpus proceedings, and his
lawyers expect to obtain his fall
discharge from the Asylum on the
ground that he is sane. His story
is remarkable one, and if true, is
another proof OF how almost any
sane person may be spirited away
from home and friends and locked
up as insane without the least
chance Of proving himself otherwise.
Bohnen called at hospital because
he was sick, and after two minute
examination by u couple of young
doctors. he was sent to the Asylum,
where he has been confined ever
since. He was never allowed to
communicate with friends or to re-
ceive any news of his family. When
he was taken out last week he
learned that his wife had gone off
with another man and his children
were in charitable institution.
1t is confidently stated by those
IN position to know, that there is
a movement on foot in this city to
revive the once popular pastime of
roller skating. 1t Is claimed that
the amusement VIII be shorn of its
Objectionable features, which caused
its collapse few years ago, and the
prediction is made that the interest
in roller skating will be even greater
than ever before. There is no doubt
that the sport has its good points
and should no more be condemned
when used properly than any other
form Of sport. It certainly is AM
aid to digestion, and is credited
with many cures where medicine
failed. The prediction Of a tidal
wave Of interest in its favor may be
for il is a remarkable fact
that these popular "crazes" seem to
operate on this plan. Wrestling,
walking, roller skating, prize fight.

disappears again, no one knows Why

The farmers of Ohio will have
an excellent opportunity this fall
to express their opinion of the high
tariff legislation of the Republican
party, which taxes them for the
beueft of few '.pr9tecfed' man
ufacturers and there is little doubt
that the opinion will be most en-
phatically expressed at the ballot
box.

The hardest thing for Republi-
can editors and speakers in Ohio
to explain is, why wool is cheaper
now than it was before the McKin-
ley bill became a law, instead of
higher, as Maj. Mckinley had as
sured his wool-raising constituents
thai it would be.

moved by the logic of facts to say ::
1.-The simple truth is that the entire

IS a brainless blunder and should
be knocked out at the next session

THE INDIAN CAHfPAIGS.

1t proves, as sensible people expected,
that the stories Of great battle with the
Indians and of the killing of General Miles
were sensational rooTbachs, such as usually
emanate from camp followers during a
campaign. No battle has occurred, and
General Miles has probably never been I'M
der fire since he reached Pine Ridge Agency
As he had planned, the Indians are cor
raled near the Nebraska State line. being
surrounded on three sides by the Sixth and
Ninth Cavalry and the Seventh and Seven
teenth Infantry. The side which is left
open contains the road TO the agency, in
which direction the hostiles are free 10 re-
treat. This disposition will prevent their
making their way to the Bad Lands. Tie
idea Is that after a certain amount of suffer
Ing from cold and priyation they will return
TO the agency and lay down their arms.
As was expected. Colonel FORSYTH has
. been relieved from command. His disnosi-
ton Of his men at the battle of Wounded
Knee was the cause Of the heavy loss his
regiment suffered. 1t will be for him to ex-
plain how he allowed them to gather in
e7-+ups in tead Of preserving their align
{, so that they offered target for the
InGian bullets; and furthermore, how some
of them were facing their comrades, so that
they could not use their pieces without hit
ting fellow-soldier. There may be an ex-
PLANTATION Of all this. Stories from battle
= fields are often full of error. Colonel
Forsyth is gallant officer. and it is not fair
to judge him till he has had an opportunity
of giving his version Of the facts. But his
case calls for investigation.
The investigation will necessarily involve
an inquiry into the circumstances under
, which so many squaws aud Indian children
met their deaths.

Orr neighbors of the Examiner express
considerable love for the farmers just at
this time, but We imagine it is grounded
principally upon the idea that the farming
interest Of this State may be induced to
assist the Examiners political associates
Mr. Hearst is essentialf a free-trade adyo-
Cate-in other words, he has voted steadily
while in Congress against protection even to
California home interests Our fruits,
vine, etc would have to meet COMPETE
ton from every quarter if Mr.. Hearst'S
free-tade notions could be carried out

should be followed we should have Buckley

that paper stuck to Buckley through thick
and thin We trust, however, that Califor-
nia has had enough Of the corrupt crowd of
politicians with which the Examiner has
associated in tile past to desire a change for
tile future. Our object to-day, however, is TO
notice that the soft soap" Of the Examiner
does not seem to take with all If the mem-
bers OF the Farmers Alliance, for one
gentleman, Mr.. Marion Cannon, writes to
that paper as follows:

California is more dependent upon protec-

let alone, but should we permit ourselves to

Two years ago the Democratic boss and
associates were violently opposed to the
passage of a law which would give our citi-
zens the benefit Of the Australian system of
voting. The cause of their opposition to
the passage of such law was apparent
even to casual observers. The Australian
system would permit the public to put in
nomination candidates for office without be-
ing forced to 30 into a convention like those
which have been controlled lately by Buck
ley ana his associates in San Francisco.
