THERE need he no uneaslnesa in
regard to Migrants not being punish
ed in Mexico, because our people
are not IN favor OF the law selling
their time to the highest bidder,
The city this week found Sherman
Williams guilty Of yagraney aud put
him on the rock pile to work, Va
grants must and will be punished in
Mexico. If the state Law autheTiz-
ing the public selling OF their time
for six months is found to be eonsti-
tutional there is no question but
what the next Legislature will re-
peal it and enact some other i'll its
place. In the meantime Migrants
can and win be punished in a man
ner much more distastefal to them
but not so ~disgraeeful to the eivltiz>
ed public. We want no more eShi-
billions such as took place when siar'
din's time was sold for six months at
the east front door Of the Cont HouSt
in this city. The few demagogues
who claim to favor this kind OF 4
show merely because it is Il show
viii find they are few and far be.
tween. 1t is no punis hment ane
the worst kind of an advertisement
The law--if it is a law-will be re'

Dalton TO File Records.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., April TO-
Nothing was done about the survey
nrShip-a OF the portof St.Louls to-day.
The Secretary of the Treasury is wait
ing to see what answer Mr.. Dalton
will present to the charges on file.
These charges the Secretary regards
as damaging. An examination to-day
of the papers on file shows that they
have been gone over and the posi-
tons which reflect upon Mr.. Dalton
most seriously have been scored with
a pencil as if to facilitate reference to
them when they are laid before the
President. The immediate outlook is
bad for Dalton. Candidates for the
other Federal offices at st. Louis are
beginning to lay their plans on the
presumption that Dalton is knocked
out. Ii the Surveyorship goes to a
resident of St. Louis instead of to
Dalton, then the District Attorney
ship and Marshalship will be claim
ed outside of st. Louis. The North
east will p1eempt n of the two
places, and the Southeast will file a
caveat on the other. Candidates from
these sections for both District At
torney and Marshal are redoubling
their efforts in view of the turn Dali
toms case has taken. Dalton is ex-
pected back here in two or three
days with some more records, which
he says will put a different aspect
on the transcript that has been filed.
1t is probable that nothing will be
done until his return.

We notice from Saturdays dis.
patches to the Kansas City Time,
and st. Louis Republic that Hon.
Richard Dalton is on his way home
from Washington City to secure evi.
dence to refute the charges filed
against him with the President. Re-
ferriug to this matter the st. Louis
Republic says:
SIT is stated positively, however,
by Colonel Dalton and his friends
that the alleged abstracts from the
transcript from the proceedings oil
the court were not complete, that
matters preceding and matters fol-
lowing were deliberately omitted,
destroying the context and meaning
of the courts decision. Colonel
Dalton has left here TO get the orig
inal papers in the case, which will
be laid before the President and
Secretary OF the Treasury in due
time. Ever since the first anony-
NOUS letter referring to these charges
was placed on file there has been
much conjecture as to the source
from which the hostile action
emanated.
There seems TO be no doubt In the
minds of Colonel Dalton and his
friends at this time as to their origin,
and an examination of the names of
those who are supporting Colonel
Dalton and those who are opposing
him makes it a comparatively easy
matter to infer both the source and
the personnel Of the opposition
whose charges have temporarily
hung up the appointment. 1t is
pretty well understood that in due
time the Democrats of Missouri will
be placed In possession of q full his
tory Of the case, including the trick
cry which there has been so much
pains taken to conceal
