THE wHlPPLE CASE.

An Exchange Says "Lays- On-His-Mothcr-
in-Law" died of Jim-Jams.
THE case of Jack Whipple, the squaw
man charged with the killing of the In
ian "Lays-on-His- NJ other-in-Law," is
attracting q good deal Of attention.
Mhipple was arrested aud taken before
o United States Commissioner, where
he had a preliminary trial. He was &C.
cused of having murdered the Indian in
cold blood, and it has been freely as
serted that there was plenty of evidence
to convict. Whipple was discharged on
the ground that the crime was commit
ted ON the coded Sioux lands, and there.
fore not within the jurisdiction of the
United States. Jackson County, where
Whipple lives, is unorganizcd, and it is
attached to Pennington County for jul
dicial purposes, but no provision has
been made to pay any part of the eX-
pense a case from that county might
entail. Consequently, the County At
torncy of Pennington County would
hesitate to 60 on with q case when he
felt sure the defendant would be ac-
quilted. Steps have been taken with
some Show of success to secure an ap-
preparation from the government to
pay the expenses incident to prosecut-
ing a case OF this kind when an Indian
is killed or other crime committed in an
u~norganized county. This is the story
of the release of the prisoner as usually
given, and 1t has also been asserted
that the prosecuting attorney of PEN
nington County said he would not try
Whipple because q white man could not
be convicted in that county of killing
an Indian. In regard to this the Dead
wood Pioneer says:
The reason that the Pennington
County officials refused to prosecute
was that there was not n scintilla of
evidence to prove that Whipple MUIR
dered the Indian. All the witnesses
testified that the Indian girded up his
loins and journeyed to a bungalow three
miles distant from Whipplc's cabin,
where he procured a beer bottle full Of
alcohol. This he poured into his sys-
TEN without any reduction, which so
surprised his stomach that it refused to
perform its regular functions. his heart
knocked off work, and he was picked
up dead the following morning. He had
been in the employ of Whipple for years
and was we'll thought of by him. The
disgusting s%entimalism that pirates Of
Pennington County's indifference to the
rights of the Indians should be sat down
upon. Pennington County justice is
just the same for white, black, and coll
ored, but when q useless Indian dies of
delirium tremens, eastern philanthro-
pists need not expect the county to go
to an immense expense to prove event.

NEW POINT IN DIVORCE CASES.

Baron De stuers Was an Ambassador
and the Court Had No Jurisdiction.
The bill of exceptions for the new
trial in the De Stuers divorce case
makes a new point that tho court at
Sioux Falls had no jurisdiction because
the Baron was an ambassador to France
from the Netherlands, and the statutes
Of the United States declare that the
Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdic-
tion in suits against ambassadors. The
statute was meant, of course, to- apply
to ambassadors to the United States.

Trade and Commercial sTfansaetiops tho
Largest Ever Known.
New York, Dec. 30.-R g. Dun &
Cot weekly review Of trade says: The
most prosperous year known in bust
ness closes to-day with strongly favor
able indications for the fatare. From
nearly all points comes the report that
the holiday trade has been the largest
ever known, and while the wholesale
tradei is not usually active at this sea-
son Of stock taking it is not remarkably
large. Railroad earnings in December
show an increase Of about 3par cent
over last year, and for the year an In
crease Of about So per cent The for
eign trade has been smaller than last
year in volume.
Forthe year the excessof merchandise
exports have 3beensnot far from S70,000,-
600. compared with the largest imports
and the largest total of exports and i'm.
ports ever known in any year. The or
ders in dry goods are extraordinary.
Sales of wool at the chief markets have
been 309,0O0,00O pounds against 246,000,-
000last year, and foreign imports have
been the largest ever. known with a
domestic supply but slightly behindsth
largest. l& I
AZ Pittsburgh iron isFsiower and the
demand for finished products diminish
ing, but glass Is fairly active. The shoe
trade az Cleveland is excellent and 9th
er trade good, though in iron NJ i'm
proyement is seen, and 100000 tons Of
ore remain on the docks.
The iron trade Is weaker, the demand
for finished products being at present
light. Steel rails have been reduced to
Slipper ton, aud sales Of 5000 tons
have followed. This great industryhas
been much affected by the market for
securities, which have been depressed
forsome months by foreign selling and.
monetary uncertainties, SO the compa-
MES have been restricted in purchases
Of rails aud supplies. But for the past
week stocks have been stronger, gaining
about g per Share in average price.
Speculation in products has been COM
paratiyely inactive, though wheat has.
been advanced by o westernpool nearly
2cents.
The year 1892 was remarkable for
fewer failures than have occurred in
any other year since 1886, the number
reported being 1884, or 2,029 less than
in 1901.
