ing us 1t Is old and threadbare. We'll, 1t
is DID, and has been good deal used.
But It fits the case all the same and
will never be too old for a case Of that
kind.
The Dispatch says the congressional
committee that passed on the case OF
Goode VS.. Epes had before 1t much more
information than The Times had" We
don't see how this could be. We had be-
fore us the entire record Of the case,
and If any congressman tried the case on
evidence outside Of that record he did
a most improper thing and did Goode and
many voters far greater wrong than by
sanctioning the actual steal OF Goodies
seat on the record as it was before him
The Dispatch thinks it pursues a laud-
able course in following the lead of its
party authorities in matters Of this sort.
Very well. it must remember that the
House Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons is nearly evenly divided on this
case. and, II IT is laudable in the Dispatch
TO blindly follow what the Democratic
members OF the committee announce
about It. it must be just as laudable
i'm the Republicans and Populists to FOL
low blindly what their representatives
say about It. so that, on the Dispatches
test of citizens duty, there could never
be a common understanding amongst cit
liens arrived at.
Now we are compelled to think The
Times course in case Of this sort is
very much to be preferred. The Times
takes the case up and ascertains what
the facts are, and then makes up its own
opinion for itself And. pursuing this

majority Of more than a thousand,
but that the county commissioners Of

matter than they have to do with the
troubles at Colon, arbitrarily and most
outrageously, and in obedience TO plot
which had been formed at some central
point. nullifod the election Of the people,
deprived Goode of his majority of more
than a thousand, and turned II into
false majority for Epes Of more than 800.
The Times ascertained these to be the
facts Of the case from reading the rec
ord of it. The congressional committee
had nothing but that same record before
it, and The Times knew, therefore, as
much about the case as that committee
knew. Under such a condition of affairs
The Times will make UP it's opinion for
itself. and will decline to receive a ready
made opinion from partIsans who have
violated every principle Of justice and
law in declaring that Epes is entitled TO
this seat.

The editorial columns OF the Northamp-

December 2Sth give the particulars OF the
remarkable cure by Or, Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy of Alderman
Charles :. Crouch, one Of Northampton
ablest and best-known statesmen.
Editor T.. G. Gere, of this leading news
paper, personally investigated the facts
Of this wonderful cure. and his widely
read editorial states the details OF the
cure exactly as they occurred, giving HON
Mr. CroUchs own words.

We thus have had for the last twenty
wears an absolutely new experience In
respect TO the supply OF silver, which
anplies a crucial test OF the fitness or
that metal TO be accepted as standard
of value. From period during which
the production kept about an even pace
with the progress OF popula ton. we have
stepped into one that gives us tripiica-
ton OF the previous rate OF supply. After
an experience of steady and normal pro-
duction, we have now one of wildly fluc-
tuating and abnormal supply. our con-
tention is that this fundamental change
Of conditions puts silver beyond the pale

supplying AN artificial leg by legal enact

they attempt TO thwart natural condi1

DULUTH, May 1S.-The present term
of the United States court has brought
to Duluth half a hundred or more red
skins from the several reservations in
Minnesota, White Earth, Leech Lake
and Red Lake. They have determined
that no more time should be lost in Sc
curing changes in the administration
of their affairs. They find all manner
of fault with the Indian commission.
Their case, as stated by w. F. Camp
bell, one of their number, who belongs
on the White Earth reservation, is
practically as follows:
"Much dissatisfaction exists among
the Chippewas at present, owing to the
manner in which the government is
carrying out the treaty made with
them six years ago and also from the
fact that the government owes them
large sums of money under the pro-
visions OF treaties made long ago which
for some reason they are not able to
get. Under the last treaty all expense
of making allotments, etc., is borne by
the Indians, the government advanc-
ing the money, such money being re-
paid out of the common fund of the
tribe arising from the sale of pine and
agricultural lands. Although a COM
mission has been at work five years
they have made no permanent allot-
ments of land and have done prac-
tically nothing toward winding up the
work and relieving the Indians OF an
enormous expense.

ports. Lumber shipments amount to
10000, 900 feet a week, and ore ship
