II 900 spindes and 400 looms. This will

capital AUTOCRATS.
OFFICIALS IN WASHINGTON WHOSE
ONLY LAW is THEIR WILL.

A Striking Example Is the First Comp
trollcr Of the Currency, Whose Decisions
Cannot Even he Vetoed by the PEesident.
WHO Has the Power of Removal.
Among the most remarkable features
Of this government by the people is the
extraordinary authority vested III certain
subordinate officials at Washington.
For instance, no man in the United
States wieids such power in money mat
tiers as the first comptroller Of the cur
rency. lie is entirely independent of
the secretary of the treasury. and even
the president has no means of coercing
him, as the following story shows:
When Grant was in the White House,
First Comptroller Taylor refused to
counters:gn warrant for the payment
of n big claim out of the funds of the
treasury. The president summoned him
and said:
You must sign"
II will not, Mr.. President" replied
the recalcitrant official.
Then I will compel You to do so, said
General Grant.
You have not the power" rejoined
the comptroller coolly and respectfully.
I'VE will see about that" said the
president. Il will consult the attorney
| general"
f-efThe encouragement, on being con-
| suited, stated that the comptroller was
right-he could not be forced to coun-
tersign the warrant. Next day the pres
ident summoned Mr.. Taylor and said:
II find that I cGnnot compel you to
countcrsign the warrant. However. ]
can get another first comptroller"
| Every well, Mr. President" replied
the officer. You can have my resigna-
ton, bun not my signature"
In fast, the only way in which the
president can override decision of this
powerful official is by dismissing him
and appointing another man. All Of the
accounts Of the government, except thost
I which relate Is customs and the post
Office department, are settled by war
rants cCuntersiSned by the first comp
troller. Without his signature the pay
: ments cannot be made.
There are two autocrats in the post
Office department.. One Of them is tn,
assistant attorney general. It is hi
function to decide whether matter Of
fered for mailing is im,noralor not. II,
acts as censor for tho people. Wheneve,
postmaster in any city is doubtful re
garding the morality Of publication
that is sought to be mailed, he forward
q copy of the suspected work to the thirt
assistant postmaster general, by whom
it is referred to tho assistant attorney
general.

to investigate the subject personally, d
which case he turns It over p one Of hi

.syr the seIecIe;l liuUiUS Oh improperly
and pass on them. The assistant attcr-
ney general also determines what mail
matter shall be considered fraudulent
and be excluded as such from the post.
The third assistant postmaster general
is himself On autocrat. He has authority
to exercise his own discretion in depriv-
ing periodical publications of the ad-
vantage of second class postal rates.
Publications intended for advertising
purposes primarily are not allowed
those rates. On account of the '.Kreutzer
Sonata" whole series of books, of which
1t was one. was shut out of the mails.
Publishers commonly get out VOL
rmes in series, because in this shape
they go second class as periodical publ
cations SO long as they arc issued ct
hast four times year. Tho decision
! against that work did not actually ex-
clude it from the post, because it could
be and was sent ut first class rates,
sealed, SO that nobody could lawfully
open the package and find out what was
inside.
The autocrat Of the department of
agriculture is tie chief Of the bureau of
animal industry. He>hss authority to
kill any animal he may cheese anywhere
| in the United States. When one of his
inspectors reports that such and such
cattle are afflicted with IN infectious
disease, he orders them purchased and
slaughtered. The value of the beasts is
judged by two appraisers, one chosen
by the owner and the other by the bu-
reau. If they cannot agree, they ap-
point third person TO decide. In case
man refused 10 have his live stock
thus disposed CT. the police and United
States Earshals would he summoned.
Tie payment adjudicated is made by
check. The chief of the bureaus author
ity in such matters is absolute over the
territories and District of Columbia,
For operations in any state he must have
the consent Of tho governor, but the GOV.
ernors consent cannot be withheld lie.
cause he is in a position to cocrce the
state. If he chooses, lie can quarantine
the state, preventing ell animals fron,

mite period.-St. Louis GLOBE Democrat

4 Sa.npaiSne- Relates n Thrilling Episode
Of the struggles with Indians In ti,c
Ncrt!.wcst--T:.c Siircwti Nisccrnr,cns Of
a Half g:rcrd S;aiic Saved $40 lives
We were going down the peninsula
formed by the junction OF the Yellow
stone and Little Miss ouri rivers, hoping
20 intercept the Indians aud turn them
back. II had beea hard. swift march
rii, If over 200 rl;lcs-wi;h no halt
above four hours. and ut 10 o'clock il the
forenoon half the troops were sleeping in
their saddles rs their lean and lame
horses picked tliei- way over the rough
ground. -
We had planned 20 reach the spot where
the fl.cin. Indians would cross the Lit
tic Missouri day or two ahead OK thcI:,.
We believed we had accomplished it.
At 10 o'clock we were within two miles
Of the spot. Then the head OF the col
rmn halted for the men 70 close up. Our
line had strung or. for e ia;le or more.
Between MS and the crossinS. as the halt
was made. nature had made a highway.
II was grassy road about 20 feet wide,
twisting and turning like q creek. Either
side was lined with dense tliickets. Half
n mile down the highway it was crossed
by n creek with steep banks. Ealf a
mile farther on was u second creek. 1t
was hardly moro than q rivulet Mt this
season, but the width from bank TO bank
was 10 feet, and the banks were ~ feet
high. Our guide had never passed over
the route.
No man in the column of 200 men
knew what lay beyond the first turn.
The halt to close NJ was precautionary
measure, but no one dreamed &C danger.
| II the hostile Indians had not turned
bacl; or changed their roatc, they should
he 40 or 50 miles to the south. The
stragglcrs had come up, the sleepy troop.

two feet OF the coloners horse when il
wheeled to the right and vanished into

he found shelter. Then q second deer
then three or four rabbits.
"What 10 ity' asks the colonel Of thi
guide.
"AmbusL!" was the reply.

The guide waved his hand to signif,
that IL was down the lane somewhere.
"How do you know"

A big gray wolf rounded the turn 10

first. and we are il ambush
But what makes you think so:" per-
sisted the colonel, who was impatient to
go ahead and yet too prudent TO need
lessly expose his command.
x-rabbit-wolf!- replied the
guide. "All were frightened. All run
ming away from something. Injuns
down there waiting for as. We SO some
other way"
We turned to the left and Ganked the
position. We had made n distance Of
seven miles when Indians were seen, and
diminishing began, but they soon re-
treated southwark. and as we followed
them up they crossed the Little Missouri.
1t was the band we had hoped to inter
cept. but why did they turn bacl, with
out a fight? Everybody was asking tho
question when 4 few of Us rode off to in
spect the ambush. The deatEtrap'had
been set for Us between the creeks. The
lower err of the avenue had been blocked
with felled trees and bushes, and trees
party cut down would have blockaded
the upper end rs soon rs tine last horse
ham had passed. The road here mar
rowcd to Is feet. Wherever there was IN
opening in the bushes which lined the
sides it had been closed with thorns.
From sunrise that morning the Indians
had been waiting for us. Almost 200
warriors were in hiding behind the
bushes. ready to thrust ont their rifles
and fire at the signal. Pcrched in the
trees along the way were half 4 hundred
boys armed with bows and arrows. Hid
| den away under the banks Of the creeks
were 100 or more squuws armed with
hatchets. knives Or clubs. 1t was not to
| be Il battle, but massacre. No mercy
/ was to 5e shown-not n prisoner taken.
Scouts had observed our approach and
reported When the head of our column
had fairly entered the lane, the eager
| sqlaws and impulsive boys could hardly
be controlled.
In their moving about they frightened
| the wild animals cut of their retreats
and sent Us the warning. They did
not know why we halted, hesitated and
then took another way. For half an
hour they waited, with the scowl ofhate
on their bronzed faces, with the savage
ness of devils in their hearts, with eyes
which glazed and glinted as they roamed
about in search Of the expected prey.
Then they whispered to each other:
They have taken another way! Tho
Great Spirit sent them warning to turn
aside! We cannot fight these men! Let
us recross the river and return to the
