GurHRu, Ok. Nov. 30. 1893
Editor Daily Leader.
My attention has been called 10 an
item in your issue of this morning re-
lating TO the appointment OF a post
master for Chicago. You appear to
slap the Irish voter in the face by say
ing that in nearly every case where an
Irishmau and German were candi-
dates for the same Office the president
would invariably give the Office to the
German. The president should re-
member that his election in 1884 was
attained by Burchard trying TO please
the enemies OF the Irish vote by using
the three Rs II IL sG ppderiable fact
that the Irish voter has bseR truer to
the Democratic party than any other
voter. be he native or foreign born. He
has been true to his convictions in the
many years OF defeat OF his party
ticket. We have no word of censure
of the German voter. Vet he has
been wiser In this day and generation
than the Irish voter. lie was true to
the Republican party IN its day OF
success, and wise enough to enter the
Democratic ranks on the eve of its
ascendancy to power. You say in the
afore mentioned item that IL is the
man with the pull" who succeeds.
Who has the pull in Oklahoma poll
tics? for from present appearances
some one has the pulp with Gov
ernor Renfrow, for we fail TO see the
names OF any Irish voters in the list OF
men appointed by the governor to
office in the strip. BE not too sanguine
that the Irish voter will remain true
to the party under any circumstances
Patience ut times ceases TO he virtue.
You may think the Irish vOtaF is
powerless in this territory. You re-
mind us of the deacon who advised the
new pastor who wished to preach
against the gambler, usurer and sa-
loonist in turn was told they all CON
tributed literally to the church. lie
was at loSs 10 know whom to attack
and the deacon Loh hmm to give it to
the Jews as there was not one in

the above Is laboring under mistaken
views. No aspersion was cast on Irish

Residents of Healdsburg Hnrassed by
Hard Characters.
SANTA Rosa, June S.-There is a corner
in Russian River Township on the north
side of Russian River, and almost in the
suburbs of Healdsburg, which is in Mem
docino Township. For a number of
years Indians. toughs and hard charac-
tiers in that part of the country have
made that corner of Russian River
Township their favorite stopping place.
Being outside of Healdsburg limits, the
toughs have been free from arrest by
Healdsburg or Mendocino Township
officers, and have kept the residents
there in constant fear of danger to their
property and lives.
A petition was presented to the Board
OF Supervisors asking that the corner of
Russian River Township be added to
Mendocino Township, in order to give
the inhabitants the benefit of police pro-
lection. A number of citizens in that
part of the country, and their attorneys,
appeared before the board in the interest
of their petition, but the board refused to
grant it, recognizing as paramount the
claim of some of the Russian River resi-
dents, that it would be a bad financial
policy to divide that township. number
Of tragedies have occurred there in late
years, and the action of the board is Sc
verely criticized by those wanting the
change.

~ NAAN
VIsALrA, June 8.-Last night Sheriff
Kay received information that Evans and
Sontag, the fugitive highwaymen, were
in town. He did not make a night at
tack, fearing repetition of the last fiasco.
At l2:15 O'Clock he received what was
considered reliable information that the
men were at Evans house. A posse of
100 men was organized, the house was
surrounded, and the Sheriff. accompanied
by nephew of Evans, went to the house.
but the men were not found. The home
OF Mrs. Byrd, Evans mother-in-law. was
also visited, but the desperadoes were not
there.
Sheriff Kay is satisfied the bandits have
left, though confident they were there
last night, as the information was re-
garded as reliable, and the posse returned
to town at o'clock this afternoon, all
discouraged.
Many people believe the bandits still in
town, and the Evans house is guarded to-
night and the roads leading to the mount
aims are lined with men.
This morning Mrs. Evans and her
daughter Eva called at the Sherif's Office
and got thirty-two caliber gun belong
ing to them. Driving up Main street,
they purchased cartridges at a gun store.
This fact caused excitement among the
citizens.
After a majority Of the men left, Mrs.
Byrd found gun standing against the
fence. Picking it up, she said: "Wil
Smith brought this. let CO."
Mrs. Byrd's house has two stories. All
the doors and windows were open when
the Sheriff visited it except one window :
up stairs, in which the curtains were
down. Kay did not enter the house, but
stopped on the porch and talked. Mrs.
Evans objected to his entering her house,
but Kay was satisfied from the tone of
the conversation and the abandon Of tho
folks that the men were not there.

CONDITION OF BRITISH CROPS.
Some Unforeseen circumstances Must
Arise to Avert Ruin of Farmers.

Some Unforeseen circumstances Must
Arise to Avert Ruin of Farmers.
LONDON, June S.-The Times publishes
to-day specially compiled reports of the
present condition of the British crops.
The cereal crops generally are below
the average in England and Wales, but
good in Scotland.
English and Welsh wheat is II per
cent, English barley q per cent. and
Welsh II per cent. below the average.
Scotch barley is equal to the average.
English oats are p per cent. and Welsh
IA per cent. below, and Scotch oats 30 per
cent. above the average.
English beans are 80 per cent. and
Welsh beans 20 per cent. below, and
Scotch beans slightly above the average.
The feeling in England and Wales re-
garding the prospects generally is very
depressed. and it has been repeatedly
stated this has been the worst season ever
known for winter feed. The drought
seems to have completely dried up the
crops.
The Times sums up the whole situation
by saying the difficulties appear 50 great
that the continuation of them will lead
inevitably to a general agricultural dis
aster, and some unforeseen circumstances
must arise to avert the ruin of the farm
ers.

PENSION BUREAU.
Boards of Examining Surgeons to be
ReorganiZed.

DOpA OS VI A-AttAHlHluS surgeons 10 DC
ReorgantZed.
WASHINGTON, June S.-The question Of
recognizing the boards of pension ex-
aiming surgeons throughout the coun-
try is just now under consideration by
Secretary Hoke Smith, Commissioner
Lochren and Deputy Commissioner
Murphy. There are ,260 Of these boards,
each containing three members, and their
work is very important factor in the
administration of the pension laws and
the adjudication Of claims.
Officials of the department state that
careful examinations have revealed in
competency and gross carelessness in the
work of some of these boards, and in
some instances the evidence indicates
that improper influences have been sue
cessfully applied to secure reports in pen
sion claims favorable to applicants. In
view OF these facts it has been decided to
give this branch of the service a general
overhauling.
While no formal plan OF reorganization
has been announced, it is stated the pur-
pose of Commissioner Lochren, with the
approval of the Secretary, to appoint on
these boards only such men who stand in
the very front rank in their respective To-
cantles, and men who keep well abreast
of the times in medical science.
Another infexible condition to the ap-
pointment will be that Of unquestioned
integrity. The politics of applicants will
not, it is said, be made the first impor-
lance, although, other things being equal,
Democrats will undoubtedly be given
preference.
The officials, in speaking of the matter
to-day, said the recommendations by men
of known character in the medical pro-
fession will be more efficacious in secur-
ing appointment on the pension boards
than if made by politicians. Active work
of organization will soon be begun.

ANOTHER TRAIN HELD TIP
The Express Car Broken Open and
Ten Thousand Dollars Secured

The Express Car Broken Open and
Ten Thousand Dollars Secured.
ST. LOUIS, June 8.-The Mobile and
Ohio southbound passenger train, which
left st. Louis at $50, was robbed by men
at Forest Lawn, near East st. Louis, at
$3.50 this evening: Several shots were ex-
changed, but it is not thought anyone
was hurt. The passengers were badly
frightened, but not molested. All the
money in the express car was taken, but
it is not known how much there was.
1t is impossible to get further particulars
at this hour.
LATER-The following additional par
ticulars have been learned: Six robbers
broke open the express car with hatchets
and axes. The messenger was badly
beaten before he would open the safe.
Ten thousand dollars in cash was Sc
cured. While two were slowing away
this money the others were exchanging
shots with several passengers who had
opened fire on them. Neither robbers
nor passengers were hurt.
For boldness and audacity the robbery
is almost unprecedented.
