There is no ground for taking a gloomy

There Is no ground for taking gloomy
or despondent view of the future. This
is good country to live in-none better
and il the American people continue
to manifest the practical good sense
which has hitherto characterized them
they will continue 10 thrive and prosper
In everything which goes to make ma
ton happy, contented and independent.
Here. says the Pittsburgh Gazette, every
man who cares to avail himself of the
privileges OF citizenship can have An
equal voice in the making and unmak.
lug Of laws. The government will con.
tinue to be what the majority choose to
make 1t, and the bad laws of one admin.
is'ration can be changed by another.
Nothing can be gained for labor, moth.
ing can be gained for capital, nothing
can be gained for humanity by violent
assaults upon organized society. To do
that would be to invite the destruction Of
the fairest fabric OF government ever de.
vised by man.

Wallapai Charley wants IL distinctly
understood that he did not cell one of
his papooses to an Indian. as has been
alleged oy his enemies. He says that
he has given up the old Indian practice
OF selling females TO bucks, and that he
allows his children to choose husbands
and wives for themselves. Charley is
becoming moral in his old age. Some
years ago Char!ey's brother, Sherum,
sold one OF his girls to prominent law
yer OF this county for four gallons OF
whisky. The old rascal took the liquor
10 the big wash at Mineral Park and re-
tailed it to his dnsky brethren at two
hits per drink. The whole tribe was
drunk for several days and the lawyer
had considerable trouble hushing the
matter up. The girl pspooses are looked
upon by Indian parents in the same light
that white people look upon fine pork
a, as worth 80 much cash. Every In
dian has to purchase his sqnaw from tho
parents, paying money, horses or blank
eta on delivery OF the chattel.

his very unique appearance. He ~ a

eyes, vividly called to mind recolleciions
of an ourang outang He was employed
fora few days as dishwssher at the
American restaurant, and one morning
suddenly conceived the idea that he was
in full control. His services were i'm
mediately dispensed with, and he packed
his trunk and took up his residence
among the mesquite trees on the desert.
By his strange appearance and peculiar
actions he frightened number of ladies
and children in the suburbs Of the ci:y.
He became much attached to burro in
the southern end Of town, and when ar
rested mournfully begged that his pet be
taken with him Upon examination,
DR.. Barry pronounced the man insane

RESULT OF THE TAKING OF MUKDEN
Official Advices Received by Min

NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN

SHANGHAI. China, September 2f.-A tel
egram received here from Kobe. Japan.
confirms the statement, emanating from
Chinese sources, that the japanese lost
three warships at the naval battle, fought
at the mouth of the Yalu river. Their
names. however, are not given, and it is
evident that the japanese official dispatch
es are incomplete.
LONDON, September 2I.-The Chronicle
this morning points out that the dock
yards in Japan are far superior to those
of China, and therefore her damaged ves-
sells will be much quicker repaired. This
will give her distinct advantage in the
future 1t is safe to forecast also that the
Hunanes army landed by the transports
on the Corean side of the Jslu river will
surrender en- masse after a short and fe-
rocious defense. The paper adds that if
the war continues at the present rate China
Will soon be compelled to ask terms Of
peace.
The Times this morning commenting on
the Japanese advance on Wiju and the
probability of their going thence to Muk-
den, says that the capture of the latter
place would be accepted throughout the
empire as an omen that the emperor is un-
worthy of divine protection and that such
omens in days of disastrous war are too
often fulfilled with remarkable ceierity AS
the politicians about the court are perfect
ly awSre of the consequences that would
follow the fall of Mukden Ii may be as
sumcd that they would yield to almost any
demands rather than to run the serious risk
of such a catastrophe.

THE SUPERVISING ARCHITECT.
Mr.. O'Rourke's Resignation Accepted
and He Has Left the City.

Late yesterday afternoon Secretary Car
isle accepted the resignation Of Supervis-
ing Architect O'Rourke to take effect i'm
mediately, and the latter's connection with
the government service terminated forth
with. The selection of his successor will
form the subject of discussion between the
President and Secretary Carlisle when they
meet at Gray Gables next week. The ap-
pOii'tu ent VIII be made by the Secretary
but I'm view of its importance he naturally
desires to consult the President about ii
1t is said that the Secretary will appoint
the hest man he can get, and that he will
probably invite suggestions on the subject
from the American II stitute of Architects
The arpointee may be democrat but he
must be n competent architect of acknowl-
edged executive ability. In the meantime
Mr. Kemper, chief clerk and assistant
super vising architect, will be in full charge
of tha business of the Office.
Mr.. O'Rourke left for Newark. N j.. to-
day to resume his private business. Last
evening he authorized the statement that
he had no apologies to make for his con-
duct of the office. He left it, he said, in
better condition than 1t had ever been.
What Decentralization there was in it was
caused by the action of his immediate SUBJ
ordinates. The conspiracy spoken of in his
letter to Secretary Carlisle referred to the
persistent MISREPRESENTATION Of Mr.. Logan
Carlisle, Judge Fleming and Mr.. Kemper,
who had the ear OF the Secretary and never
lost an opportunity to prejudice his mind
against him.
