FOUND HANGING IN A TREE.


WINFIELD. Nov. 13-The body of
dead man was found hanging on a grape
vine along the Walnut river, twelve miles
below the city, the body was hanging by
one foot and one arm. head down. Ia the
pockets of the clothing were found two
notes which esta blished the identity of the
man, who was John Partridge, age p,
and who lived near Tisdale, SIX miles
east of this city.
About September L he left his home in
a light wagon, driving two horses. The
supposition is that he undertook to cross
the river when it was up and when he
was in a drunken condition, missed the
ford and was drowned. The wagon was
found a half mile below where the body
was found and the horses are still at
large
There were no marks of violence on
the body that would ;ndicate foul play.
The body was badly decomposed aud
could only be handled by the use of a
stretcher, the head falling of when be-

BRITISH INTERFERENCE.

The British warship Cleopatra does not
seem to have had any scrupies about in
terfering in the little misunderstanding
between Nicaragua and the Indian known
as the Mosquito Chief. The object in
view is the maintenance of the autonomy
of the Mosquito Kingdom. In different
parts Of the world England pursues diff
ferent policies. Ia Asia and Africa her
power has been directed rather to the
overthrow of native rulers than to their
maintenance. There is a pretty fight
going on now In South Africa TO dispossess
natives from lands that they have as much
right 10 as the English have to England.
1t suits the policy of England, however,
10 pursue an opposite course in Central
America. The dispatch states that the
commander Of the Cleopatra landed eighty
men at Bluefelds, then proceeded TO
Colon, from which place he cabled to the
British admiral at Jamaica for instruc-
tons. AS soon as the instructions came
he returned to Bluefelds. The pre-
sumption is that the admiral sustained
the commander in the course the COM
mander had pursued. The hostile demon
stration is made against Nicaragua, but it
is aimed at the United States. The land
ing of British troops 10 preserve the
independence of an Indian chief again st
Nicaragua would be but an Indirect way

country. On this point the United States

DIVIDE THE BIG RANCHES.

An exceptional practical interest appears
TO be taken in California at this moment.
People Of moderate means in the North
west, the Middle States and the East are
makiag inquiries about the Pacific Coast
and the better prospects of making a lv-
ing by agriculture. The railroad COM
panies regard the movement with far more
favor than speculative boom, which often
means the transfer of town lots or country
lands from one set of persons to others,
without much result in actual improve
menL Those who are practically ac-
quanted with agriculture can have little
hesitation in deciding in favor of the con-
ditions of farming here as compared with
the hard climatic conditions and precari-
Gus rewards of the older States. There is
here no winter of moment to interfere
with farming operations. One crop may
be made to succeed another almost through
out the year. The most valuable fruits
give ample choice TO the orchardist and
he may hope to prosper if he makes a
special study of two or three. A small
farm in California is preferable to a big
acreage elsewhere, and is sufficient 10
occupy a farmer and his family and keep
them in comfort Now is the time TO
divide up the big ranches

POLITICAL FRAUD IN MICHIGAN,

The conviction of Boss McKane of
Gravesend, n. Y, appears likely to be
followed by the punishment of other
kDaves who have figured in politics. An
Indictment has just been found against
Jochim, Secretary of State and Hambitzer.
State Treasurer, of Michigan, for making as
canvassers false returns of elections held
in 1891 and 1898. The rascality does not
seem TO have been confined to any one
party. Boss McKane is a Democrat.
Jochim and HambltZer are Republicans.
The Michigan fraud was committed by
primitive methods. The Michigan Legis-
lature of 1889 passed bill increasing the
salary of the Governor from $1,000 year
to $4,000 year, and submitting the change
to the people. 1t was duly ratified. In
1891 an act OF the Legislature increased
the salary of the Attorney-General.w which
had been $500. to $500. and at the next
session the salaries of the Secretary OF
State. Land Commissioner, and Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, which had
The morning call., 1894-03-04

also been $500. were raised by the Legisia-
ture to $1,000 each. The several acts were
submitted to the people. The Board Of
Canvassers in due time reported that the
act increasing the salary of the Attorney
General had been ratified by majority of
1857, and at a subsequent date it was an
nounced that the second act, increasing
the salaries of the other officials. had been
carried "by small majority" BY acct
dent the attention of Governor Rich was
drawn to the transaction, and he went
over the returns, which showed that the
act increasing the Attorney Generals pay
had been defeated by a few votes, while
the act increasing the other salaries had
been defeated by a majority of 11,555
votes. The Governor laid the facts before
the grand jury. and the results the indict-
ment which will soon be tried.
If the facts are as stated it is 20 be
hoped that, as in Mechanics case. the
knavish Michiganders' trial will end in
conviction. The weak spot in our political
system is the opportunities 1t furnishes
for the commission Of frauds; the public
safety demands that frauds should be
punished In an exemplary manner when
they are discovered. Boards of can
yassers have often made false returns, and
have escaped the penalty by party in
tiuence; but when party leaders are in
telligent they realize how impossible it is
for party to retain public confidence if it
shrinkS from publishing the guilty in its
own ranks

A FUND FOR THE POOR.

A New York paper has established what
it calls clothing fund, the purpose Of
which is TO collect clothing and distribute
it among the poor. One of the $4,000
clergymen of that city condemns the fund
on the ground that the practice of giving
tends to demoralize those to whom things
are given. Under well-organiZed condi-
tion of society there would be no excuse
for giving except 10 the few whom nature
had made dependent. The healthful and
strong could earn their own living. The
excessive accumulation of a few would be
distributed among the many-not in the
form Of legal division, but in the better
way of just compensation for labor. But
1t is better that food and clothes should be
given than that the poor should starve or
go unclothed. The Decentralization of suf-
fering and despair is as bad as the de-
moralization arising from an acceptance of
Charity. The somewhat general mo vement
IN this and other cities TO provide for the
necessities Of the unemployed has in
spired the recipients with kinder feelings

EXPENSIVE TRAVEL.
In recent speech at Denver Mr.. A. d.


In recent speech at Denver Mr.. A. J.
Warner said:
To travel the sold-standard route has cost
this country the past year 100000, 900, and
the men who have profted are those who have
the power at any time TO turn on Black Friday
to increase their illgotten gains.
The free-trade movement, combined
with the establishment Of the gold stan
dard, has probably cost the country about
the amount mentioned. In most cases.
however. the loss has only been in valua-
tions based upon productive capacity. A
farm is worth more when wheat sells at 81
bushel than when 1t sells at 60 cents. A
factory which pays per cent dividends on
a certain valuation is placed on q lower
valuation when dividends are reduced 10 s
per cent
1t is not consoling to men who believe
in republican institutions to realize that
the financial policy of the United States
should be dictated by ''those who have the
power to turn on Black Friday" Facts,
however, cannot be denied, though they
may be deplored. The growing demand
for gold enables the money-lenders to
throw the country into a financial panic
when they please. These same men, how.
ever. are beginning to discover that inan.
cial panics are costly movements. OF
what use to increase the nominal amount
OF debt to lose the debt in the end? Mr.
Warner said in the same speech that
farms have gone down to where the
mortgage becomes a deed" That is q
point, however, where the mortgage.
holder wants the going down process to
stop. He has taken the margin between
estimated value and mortgage value by
the depreciation, and that is all be wants
If the depreciation should continue IL
would be at his expense.
