SHOWING UP SIMPSON.
The Soekless Statesman Scored by Secretary
Noble.

Inc SofkteSS Statesman scored by Secretary
Noble.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas. has been
trying to make political capital out of his
efforts TO open up the Cherokee Strip. and at the
expense Of Representative Mansur. Of Missouri.
and Secretary Of the Interior Noble. To
counterfeit these misrepresentation of the
Honorable Jerry, which were made part Of the
record, Secretary Noble recently wrote a letter
to Mr.. Mansur respecting the charges made by
Mr.. Simpson in connection with the opening Of
the Cherokee Strip which he asks Mr.. Mansur
to have made part of the Congressional Record,
as his emphatic denial of the gross charges
introduced in the Record by Mr. Simpson. The
Secretary says in part in his letter:
You yourself have taken great interest in the
opening OF the Cherokee Strip, and have on fire.
quent occasions consulted with me upon the
ures best to be pursued to that end and no one
knows better than yourself Of my constant and
earnest effort to have this purpose accomplished.
From Oct %, 1889. when seat the first notice
through the Cherokee Commission to the Cherokee
Nation. that cattle could not be pastured on tho
Strip. TO this time you aware that have main
tanned and enforced this proposition.
The present agreement pending before Congress
is result in large part, Of this position. want
that agreement ratified set forth in my letter
sent to Congress in connection with IT, and have
relaxed no effort to keep the Strip in such condition
as good faith under that contract requires.
II is untrue that have In anywise coIuded with
anyone to keep cattle the Strip. All my efforts
have been 10 the contrary, q short statement Of
| the facts will exhibit.
The Secretary then reviews the history of
| the official movements looking to the removal
| of cattle from the Strip, beginning with the
! Presidents proclamation Of Feb. IL, 1890. Ia
conclusion, he says:
From all this you will see how false are ihe
charges made in the letter published in the Record
| by Mr.. Simpson, for not only have not given per-
mission or authority to anyone to pasture cattle
the Strip, but have used ali the means at my
mand To compel an obedience to the Presidents
orders, ia ali Of which have had the fullest sup
port from the President. whose orders have been
| issued at once as asked for by
IL IS my earnest desire that the Cherokee outlet
/ shall be opened TO settlement, and to that end
have iabored for nearly three years. 1 expect my
| public acts TO be criticized and commented upon.
| but am not willing that my good name shall be
a5persed by such faisehoods, my personal in
| tegrity questioned in this or any other public
/ matter

THE COMPLETED FILES SYSTEM.

Deputy Commissioner of Pensions Davidson
Corrects an Erroneous Impression Regard
ing These Cases.
Sometime ago. in publishing the proceedings
of the Special Committee of the House inves-
tigating the Pension Bureau, Deputy Commits
sioner Davidson was made to say that the put
ting of on tho so-called completed files
list does not advance the case for final adjudi-
cation, but only draws attention to the fact
that it is supposed to be completed, and that
two per cent. of the cases placed on the COM
pleted.fle list are uncompleted, as majority
of them need further testimony. That Deputy
Commissioner Davidson was reported incor
rectly the following letter, written to the Chair
man Of the Investigating Committee, clearly
shows:

are recommended by all the leading
physicians and druggists, as the
most prompt and effective remedy
for biliousness, nausea, costiveness,
indigestion, sluggishness of the
liver, jaundice, drowsiness, pain in
the side, and sick headache; also,
to relieve colds, fevers, neuralgia,
and rheumatism. They are taken
with great benefit in chills and the
diseases peculiar to the South. For

Are better known and more general
ly used than any other cathartic.
Sugar-coated, purely vegetable, and
free from mercury or any other inju-
rious drug, this is the ideal family
medicine. Though prompt and ener-
getic in their action, the use of these
pills is attended with only the best
results. Their effect is to strengthen
and regulate the organic functions,
being especially beneficial in the
various arrangements OF the stom-
ach, liver, and bowels.

Representative Curtis, of the Twenty second
District of New York, who claims tho dis
tinction of being the senior officer of all the
Union Generals now in Congress, has, after
long and hard BATTLE secured favorable action
on the bill to pension survivors of the Indian
wars of 1885 to 1912. A similar measure has
been pending for number of years, aud SOW
eral times when favorable action seemed as
sured it was defeated because certais men,
bers insisted that the survivors of all subse-
quent Indian wars be provided for in the bill
In view of the fact that Gen. Curtis is q Re-
publican and Northern man, while nearly all
the people who will be benefited by the present
act are Southern men, his activity in advanc.
ing and champi0ning the bill has excited the
greatest admiration and friendliness among
members from the Southern States When it
was learned last week that the General had
succeeded in securing a favorable report on the
measure, he received many congratulations
from his former adversaries on tho Democratic
side of the House. Gen. Curtis is an inde-
fatigable worker in the interests of all the old
soldiers, no matter from what part of the coun.
try they may hail. During the present session
he has personally interested himself in 6,OOO
pension cases scattered all through the United
States. Correspondents in almost every State
in the Union write to him to interest him.

Representative McRae of Arkansas, from the
Committee on Public Lands, submitted to the
House the report of the Committee which was
instructed to examine and report as to the cir.
cumstances under which certain leases in the
Yellowstone National Park were made in
March, 1889, by the Secretary Of the Interior to
the Yellowstone Park Association. This is the
transaction in which it was charged that Rus.
sell Harrison, son Of the President, had used his
influence in behalf of the Park Association with
Secretary Noble, TO secure the leases. The re-
port says that the son of the President is in
no wise connected with the United States Gov
eminent; yet, from his relations to the Presi-
dent himself, he, in effect, represents part of
the Presidential power. Cabinet Ministers
themselves, as well as their subordinates, hold
their places at the will of the President. and
they, as well as all other men, may be tho re-
cipients of the Executive power. Up to the
advent of Russell Harrison in the role of an in.
fuential go-between as the son of his father,
the President, no member of Presidents fam
lily has taken part in the Executive admins.
tration of the Government. No statutory law
exists prohibiting member Of the Presidents
family from soliciting favors from Department
against his enemies or in favor of his friends
because hitherto no such Law has been needed.

and closed easy at bottom figures with

pared with yesterdays last price. Besides
being weak, the market was dull. About
all of the news was unfavorible to holders,
and discouraged longs were generally in
clined to let go. There was good buying at
the start around 80 cents, but it did not take
long to satisfy the demand May, which
opened at 9o1Sc against 9O1zc Mt the close yes
terday, soon declined to S97sc. There was
rather free covering by shorts at the de-
cline, ana there WAS some investment Duy-
ing with a reaction to s93zc. The market
weakened again on free selling during the
last hour and closed easy at S91Sc.
Corn was fairly active and showed good
deal of strength. The liberal export move
ment, the brisk Eastern and New England
demand and the continued poor grading
were all strong factors. A notable feature
was the strength in the near futures. which
are very close to May. This is because OF
the continued poor grading February

closed unchanged after having been ss cents

the Call-Facts Secured From Dealers
Here.
1t will be seen by reference to the home
market column that bananas and
oranges are dull with a tendency to
bwer prices, and fancy lemons are
firm at advancing prices. Florida cor
respondent, who is in the lemon trade, COM
plains that our quotations in this line are
above the facts. This correspondent claims
that lemons can be delivered to the Pitts
burg jobber at prices which will enable him
to sell al prices much below our quotations.
The writer looked up this question as
to Florida lemons. and his investi-
CATIONS yielded the following results. There
is little or no call in this market for Florida
lemons. The call is almost entirely for
Messina stock, which in quality and size OF
boxes seem to suit this market Said one of
our leading jobbers: "Florida lemons come
to this market generally in boxes contain
ing from $50 to 200 while Messinas come in
boxes containing 3U0 to $50 lemons.
The former are thick skinned as q
rule, and neither quality nor size OF boxes
suits our trade. We cannot get over So
per box for Florida lemons, and the markets
are slow at this price. Fancy Messina
lemons on the other hand, are quick sale at
a e5 to s4 so per box. We have frequent
offers of Florida lemons, and would be glad
TO handle them il there was market, but
Mediterranean lemons have the call, and we
are forced to meet the demand even though
at the expense of the Florida fruit"
