RALPH nEwIrr.s SUICIDE.
1t Was Caused While Insane Over Hh
Swes4heart's Death.


SweStheart's Death.
The coroner's jury investigating the death of
Ralph d. Hewitt, formerly night clerk Of the
Mt. Vernon House, whose suicide at Atlantic
City was reported in yesterdays STAR, rendered
q verdict to the effect that Hewitt committed
suicide while temporarily insane. Among the
effects Of the dead man were found two news
paper clippings, one of them piece Of poetry
from Philadelphia evening paper and the
other a notice Of the death at Elgin, ILL.,, Of
Miss Alosa Bokford.
Mr.. Daniel H. Nichols, proprietor Of the Mt.
Vernon House, where Hewitt was employed,
gave evidence at the inquest that the latter was
in love with Miss Bedford and that On receipt
OF the notice Of her death became very despond-
ent and went about his work in listless, half
hearted sort OF way. He made no threat OF
suicide, but remarked TO Mr.. Nichols that that
would be his death. Mr.. Nichols, thinking q
change Of association would do him good, sent
him to Atlantic City, giving him some money
and telling him that when it was exhausted to
send for more. On his arrival there he went to
the Girard House. where he remained till the
day of his death.
The proprietor of that hotel said that he was
cratic in his conversation and ON retiring al
ways kept his clothes on. 1t has since been de-
velopsd that on the evening Of May17 he at
'ehiP'pu iSiocDt t"o-ouHct
of Ludanum. which be had purchased at local
drug store. but his attempt was unsuccessful
beyond making him very sick
box OF cartridges was found in his travel
ing bag. Five cartridges had been taken out TO
load the revolver with which he shot himself.
A box which had contained morphia was also
found IL, his room, together with a letter from
his mother, and a card Oh which he told in his
own handwriting that ne had pawned his silver
watch for 81. The supposition is that while
laboring under the deInentia occasioned by
hearing of the death of Miss Bedford he be-
CAME temporarily insane and committed the
rash deed.

TO CUT THE PENSION ROLL.

Mr. PEEL, of Arkansas, says an
exchange, has slipped in a little
four line bill of mighty import.
War widows in the past have
proven an expensive luxury to the
government Long years ago the
last of the revolutionary pension
ers paid the debt OF nature. But
there are to-day on the pensions
roll twenty revolutionary widows
drawing pensions. The oldest of
these widows was not born until
twenty years or more after the
revolution had been mt" but as
young woman she solaced the
declining years of some pensioner
and inherited the republics grati-
tude. The survivors Of the war
1872, as shown by the pension
rolls, number only 2S4, and they
are dropping off very rapidly. But
there aye 1890 widows Of soldiers
Of the war isig drawing penslons,
and they are not dropping off so
fast There are now on the rolls
125, 900 widows Of soldiers who
served in the civil war. The list
is growing very rapidly. Some
OF these widows we're born since
1855. The war widows to-day
number one-four,h of all the names
carried on the pension rolls.
Twenty-Five years hence, perhaps
so aner than that, one-half the pen
sioners will be widows. Aud IL
estimate may be based on past ex-
perienccs this government will, in
1850, be paying out millions Of
dollars annually in pensions to
widows who were not born until
alter the civil war ended. Such is
human nature Mr. Peel, bold
man as be Is, proposes to legislate
for the second generation after this
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1892-02-04
THE ONLY HOPE.

The Cherokee government will
never DE conducted economically
and judicioulsy Gas those terms are
applied TO private business enter
prises) until its funds for govern
mental purposes are derived by
direct taxation. As long as our
people snbsisted by the primative
pursuits OF their ancestors the
present system worked very well
for there was little governmental
machinery and no expense to
speak Of But conditions have
now taken an entire change-there
has been a complete lransposition.
We have generous quota of Of
fees, have a legislative, a judicial
and an executive department-and
their maintenance costs all they
are worth. II has been repeatedly
estimated that the cost of conduct
ing the government is between
eight and nine dollars per capita Of
our people OF course, reversing
our system, there would be a per
capita distribution equal to a like
sum annually. What proportion
of the families Of the nation, con-
sisting Of five persons, would be
taxed $4,000? Probably not one
IN half dozen. The tax of run
ming the government would fall
where it justly belongs - upon
those who are proiting by their
occupau cy Of the country and are
able to pay it, What is the logic
Of this new system and what
would be tie resglt2 The men
who pay the tax would at onrs
take IN interest in seeing that the
funds were judiciously handled.
They would insist that The same
business rules which bad brought
them competence were, 50 far as
practicable, applied TO the conduct
% ths nations affairs, and con
sequent reduction Of taxation
would result. Then We would
have a better, a cleaner govern
ment. and All officials would be
held TO a strict accountability for
their public acts and FOR all money
passing through their hands. I'm
iii a change does take place shere
is little to hope for.

OUR SITUATION JUST AS IT is.

The late national council which
adjourned here last week, after a
continuous session of seventy days,
appropriated all told as the records
and its acts show, Sl68, 600
Add to this the standing appro-
priation of S33, 600 to pay officials
Of the nation and you find the
whole foots up to 100000 and
over. This 5000, 600 appropriation
is for one year. Now our only
positive income is the five per
cent interest on our invested funds,
which are S2,700,000. Thus you
see our income is only Sl35. 900 per
year In all earnestness, and in
the name of common sense, how
can we keep up our government at
these rates OF expenditures?
Spending S65, 900 year more than
we get annually. The worst OF 1t
is the nation is in debt $4,000
caused by excessive expenditures
beyond our income, in late years
this added to the S65, 600 over
our income will leave us SlS9, 600
in debt at the close of the fiscal
year, the Both day OF September,
1892 Our scrip is new selling for
80 and 60 cents on the dollar This
is a serious matter 90 those of us
who wish to see our government
live-these are stern, hard, griev-
Gus facts but the situation has to
be.. faced. and the sooner the
better. There is no use for Us to
count on getting anything from our
internal revenue sources, as past
experience under laws now in force
teaches us conclusively that it
takes all such revenue so collected
to pay the expenses of those col
lecting the same, or such has been
the fact as we all know.
The above from the Tahlequah
Telephone touches upon one
of the most important questions
that concern the people of this
nation The above statistics,
which we presume are correct, lay
bare the whole system OF govern
ment without taxation and shows
how utterly impossible it will be
to continue without some radical
changes in our financial system.
Under the present system every
one contributes the same amount
toward defraying the expenses Of
The bare.footed or
