Pass the Wilson bill before Feb

relief from uncertainty, and the
whole country says it has had
enough political debate to satisfy
it's appetite until next fall.-St

The Democratic majorities in
each House must realize their re-

to mere flatulent oratory.-Chicago

The people have commanded
Congress to reform the tariff.
They are now anxious to have the
work completed. Business is in

COMMANDMENTS Chief Adams has
issued a circular calling on men,
bers of the Grand Army of the Re-
public to aid in the exposure of all
fraudulent pension cases. This is
the right spirit, and the only way
to make the pension roll what it
was designed to be, a roll of honor.
New York Evening Telegram,
Ind.
The high priests of protection
who have been maintaining and
increasing war taxes for more than
quarter Of century, hold up
their hands in holy horror at the
suggestion of an internal revenue
tax, levied principally upon those
who have found wealth easily be-
cause of such war taxes imposed
upon the masses. The acme Of
canting hypocrisy is exemplified
in this.-Detroit Free Press, Dem.

heroic Admiral's character, for 1t
is one of the chief attributes Of a
hero not to be deferred by the i'm
possible. While preparations were
being made for the attack on New
Orleans, the navy department came
into possession of complete set
of plans Of the defense Of the
city. Not only were the positions
of the forts laid down, but the
number, weight and position of
every gun was given, together
with the distractions stretched
across the river to prevent the pas
sage of a hostile fleet.
There were shown, also, the sub
marine mines placed so as to de-
stroy ships passing up the channel,
as well as the system of torpedoes,
and the reserve of war vessels,
which were to cooperate with the
land batteries, in opposing the ad-
vance of an enemy.
The information was considered
of such value that no time was lost
in sending it by the hands of spe-
cial messenger all the way from
Washington to Admiral Farragut,
in the belief that such a detailed
description of the defenses which
he would have to encounter in pass
ing up to the city must prove of
the utmost use to him.
1t was supposed, as matter of
course, that the Admiral would not
only acknowledge the receipt Of a
communication conveying matter
of such Importance, but would, in
some way, express his senses of the
obligation he was under. But no
sach Acknowledgements ever reached
the Navy department.
Meanwhile, the passage of the
forts was effected, New Orleans
was captured, the active naval
operations in Southern waters
were brought to close, and Ad-
miral Farragut, in due time, hav-
ing accomplished his great mission,
went north. Proceeding to Wash
ington, he at once called at the
Navy department., where he re-
ceived the hearty congratulations
of the secretary Of the navy upon
his brilliant successes.
While he was in the department
official, during a conversation on
the subject of the naval operations
in he gulf, referred to the plans
of the defeDses Of New Orleans,
and asked the admiral If he had
ever received them.
eyes," he replied, W received
the plans, but on explanation l
found that, according to them,
New Orleans could never be taken,
so tore them up and threw them
into the waste basket"

WARDS LAST MILLION.
The Ingenuity With Which he
Made Away With the Money.

Made Away With the Money.
From the New York Press.
II Ferdinand Ward is respon-
sible for the story which he pro-
fesses to tell of the affairs Of Grant
& Ward, there need be no further
, proof that his sence was warranted
and that he is still trying to lay
the blame upon others. But here
is point that was not brought
out on the trial, and that has never
been printed.
The firm Of Grant & Ward, when
money was cheap and New York
credit at the highest bought ST.
100000 Of city bonds. These were
duly sold to the firm as the lowest
bidder, and there was legiti
mate profit of $4,000 upon tn
transaction. But that was n
enough for Ward; he wanted the
whole town. He got a certified
check from the Third National
bank for 100000, and another from
the Marine National Bank for an
aqual amount with which to pay
FOR the bonds. He rendered these
checks to City Chamberlain Tap
pan and received the bonds.
They should have been immed-
lately deposited with those banks
as security for what was really a
"call loan" Instead Of that, Ward
Immediately hypothetical them
personally with two trust compan-
les, one of which was the Mercan-
tile Trust and Safe Deposit COM
pany, which readily advanced him
100000 cash upon the bonds.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Fish, president
OF the Marine bank, was sending
down anXiously for the bonds
against which he had certified the
100000 check. Ward told him that
there was some little delay, but
that it would be all right, and
he would get the bonds as soon as
possible.
Some little delay there certainly
was, for they were securely locked
up in the vaults of the Mercantile
Trust and Sale Deposit company.
When the Marine National bank
closed that night there was moth
ing to show for its half a million
certified check, and as there was
still nothing to show for it at 10 in
the morning the doors failed to
open, and the rest is known.
What is not known is what has
become of the round million of
money which Ward secured the
day before the bank failed, and
which is today as much lost to the
creditors Of the firm and the stock
holders of the Marine National
bank as il it had been thrown over
board with a weight tied to it in
the middle of the ocean. If Ward
wants to tell the whole story OF
wrong doing, let him begin with
the last million that was taken
from the assets of the firm.

The purpose for which said corporation

reclamation of water now going to waste
in the Uintah Mountains, that can be

This enterprise when carried out means
