the American employer would get cheaper

OFFICERS AS INDIAN AGENTS

President Cleveland, like Secretary
Smith, constructs the law of 1892 in re-
gard to the appointment of army officers
as Indian agents, as practically manda-
tory, and has followed it up by assign
ing a large number of officers to such
duty. Opinions widely differ as to the
wisdom of the law. We are inclined to
regard it as unwise. 1t looks like a
practical reversal of the policy of abro-
eating the tribal relation. Many of the
tribes have had their lands allotted to
them in severalty. Efforts are being
made to teach them agriculture and
otherwise make them like their white
neighbors. Officers OF our regular army
are not the men to direct the Indians
along this line. Practical men from
civil life who are acquainted with the
Indians, who understand their language
and have influence oyer them, are besI
fitted for this work. The argument /.
advanced that officers clothed with
power are needed properly to enforce
respect for law and order, and it may b
that 30 far as a few wild tribes are con
cerned this Is true; but there are army
posts near every important reservation
which serve all the purpose of impress
ing the red man, and the presence of
single officer as an agent on a reserva
ton is not imposing.

his paper giving his version of the tes'i-

for the defense and sums up by saying
that the state acknowledged Mr.. Arnold's
innocence in Withdrawing the action. We
do not so understand the matter. There
had already been $4,000 expended In a

and the jury stood eight for conviction
aud four for acquittal. On account of the
distance the witnesses had to be brought
and the uncertainty Of conviction It was
considered The better policy TO dismiss the
action rather tbae run the risk Of expend-
ing another $4,000 The state had to rely
wholly upon circumstantial evidence as
no one was present when the deed was

clear in the minds Of the jurors that he

The Crosier Case.

Tie CrOsier Case.
The trial of George W. Crosier, OF this
place, for embezzlement occupied the at
tention Of the common pleas court at
Elyria last weeks II was a hard legal
battle between the attorneys as this Is the
first case Of the kind ever tried In the
state under this statutory provision. The.
defendant was the proprietor Of number
OF cheese factories in this county and had
contract with the farmers to manufacture
their milk into cheese aud butter, sell the
same and account to them, less his com.
nilsson. In October, 1892, Crosier ceased
to do business, made no assignment. but
merely went out of trade 10 debt to num-
Der OF bis patrons for the proceeds OF milk
delivered 10 him, In amounts aggregating
from $25. 10 $l0O. They called upon him
for settlement and payment, Crosier did
not decline TO settle but claimed he had
nothing to pay them with.
The attention OF the prosecuting attorn-
ey was called to the matter and the case
was brought before the grand jury. The
case was tried last week and caused con-
siderable excitement among factory men
as to how II would 20. After delibera-
ton Of three and halt hours by the jury
they brought in verdict Of guilty. A mo-
,ion was at once hled for new trial

Horse Language.

My horse has low whinny which
means "water," and a higher keyed, more
emphatic neigh means flood" When |
hear these sounds, know as definitely
what she means as If she spoke in Eng
fish. This morning, passing along the
street, heard that same low whinny, and
looking up saw a strange horse regarding
me with n pleading look. knew he was
suffering from thirst, and no language
could make it palmer. The language of
the lower animals is not all articulate. It
is largely a sign language. The horse
does n deal of talking by motions of the
head and by his wonderfully expressive
looks. He also, upon occasion, talks with
the other extremity. A peculiar switch
of the tail and n gesture, as if threaten
ing to kick, are equine forms of speech
The darby was not far wrong who said of
the kicking mule, "It's just his way of
talking. "-Science.
