mind, plainly covers cases where de-
mands for contributions are made by
letter; but the attorney general thinks
differently. The commission is very
anxious to get decision by the courts,
and it sometime ago requested the at
torney general to bring a test case, in
order to get decision, but he has not
done so. Investigations have just been
ordered by the commission into two big
offices, outside of Washington, where the
employees are being called upon to sub
scribe to campaign funds. If we can
get no other satisfaction we can at least
warn the clerks and employees that their
official positions will not be in any way
jeopardized by a refusal to accede to the
demands for contributions, and we shall
lay the matter as strongly as possible be-

Mr.. Cleveland must think the people
are easy to gull indeed, if he thinks he
can make them believe that the admin
istration is taking no part in the cam
paign, in the face of the gathering at
Batavia, N. Y, of Secretaries Gresham,
Carlisle, Lamont and Herbert, and
Postmaster General Bissell 1t is all
very well to say that they went to hear
Secretary Carlisle deliver his address on
! Robert Morris, ian early secretary of the
treasury; but every body knows that
their principle object was to give the
New York campaign a boost. 1t is very
clear that Mr.. Cleveland's order is
merely 3 bit of democratic hypocrisy.
The Washington Statistical Associa-
tion has no connection whatever with
politics, and for that very reason the
address of Judge Lawrence, condemning
the recent changes in the treasury de-
partment, delivered at meeting held by
the association this week, has attracted
general attention. It is gratifying to
your correspondent to have what he said
on this subject in last weeks letter en-
dorsed by such high authority as Judge
Lawrence, who said in his address:
"During the five years that I was first
comptroller of the treasury department,
I had some opportunity to study and OBJ
serve the operation of the system estab-
llshed by Alexander Hamilton, and in
successful operation ever since. Under
it frauds have been substantially i'm
possible. The system in its practical
operation has been as nearly perfect
safegard against fraud and error as
human ingenuity could devise. The re-
cent act of congress based on the report
of the Dockery commission revolution
ICES the whole of this system and opens
wide door for fraud and mistakes.

and vicious innovation, fruitful of mis-.

1t Is Stated That the Natives Are
Upon the Verge of an
Uprising.

LONDON, May 8.-Colonel Malleson, an
eminent authority on Indian affairs, has
written an open letter to the newspapers
on the expected uprising of the natives In
India, which was treated seriously by the
Spectator on Saturday. Colonel Malleson
says that the Spectators estimate of the
gravity of the situation is not one which is
exaggerated. Undoubtedly some serious
disturbance is impending. and prompt ac-
tion on the part of the Government is i'm
perative.
There may not be an uprising on Thurs
day, the anniversary of the Sepoy mutiny
in 1857, but it is bound 10 come if immedi-
ate measures are not taRen to prevent it.
The natives have supersttious dread of
taking any important action upon an i'll
omened date. The writer advises the Gov
ernment to cease tampering with the laws
relating to marriage, the sale and use of
opium and other so-called reforms"
which the natives regard as worse than
tyrannical, and to quietly but closely
watch the movements Of the natives in
the meantime.

Big Cut in Freight Rates Out of
Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 8. The lines in the
westerns Freight Association went at the
rates to-day with an ak, and by the time
they had finished their work there was not
much lett of the schedule formerly in
fOIce between Chicago and the Missouri
River and between the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers. The freight rates of all
classes were cut squarely i'll half, the re-
duction being so per cent of the rates in
effect yesterday.
The cause for the reduction is said to be
the Missouri Pacific road, which some
time ago declined to enter the agreement
of the other lines to maintain rates, and
which has, it is asserted, been cutting
rates without regard to the tariff in effect
on the lines of the Western Freight Asso-
citation. The present reductions are made
with the object of bringing the Missouri
Pacific TO time and compelling it to maln-
tain rates.
The rates put in after to-day apply not
only between Chicago and the Missouri
River but from all points ON the Missis-
sippi River to all points on the Missouri
River as well.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger Association has called meeting of

der of his wife and child twenty-seven
years ago.
Some prospectors recently found the
bones of woman and child near the
Fort Jones and Yreka wagon road that,
from appearances, had been there long
time.
Twenty-seven years ago Decker started
with his wife and child TO take them 10 a
stage station, probably Trinity Center.
where it vas supposed they would take
the stage to her friends in the southern
part of the State.
Subsequent investigation showed that
she never took any stage at that point.
Decker claimed that she eloped with an
other man. and showed letters that went
to show that she was with the man some
where in the East.
The matter was then hushed up, yet
many people were not well satisfied and
have always claimed that Decker made
away with them. Events since then seem
to have, in a measure, established these
suspicious. Shortly after his wfe's de-
parture be married widow who had a

hers and the death of his second wife with
out definite knowledge of the cause have
apparently aroused a spirit of investiga-
ton thatseems TO point to a series of crimes
almost appalling.
Decker has succeeded lately in getting
inlo some good society. has become an ac-
tive Odd Fellow, and has by his apparent
fair dealing established pretty good rep
utatlon.
He has a ranch of about 600 acres in the
beautiful Shasta Valley. and TO all appear
