pered IN his ear aud the captain, standing
near, drew back with a gasp.
1t was all over. A neighbOr stood n
the door, hat in hand. His wife was
offering her services.
Both of you step out q moment" the
captain said, and turning to Huley, who
stood leaning against the maAteIpieCe,
he sternly added, You stay here"
Huley bowed The man and his wife
withdrew. The captain closed the door,
walked across the room, opened drawer,
took out two pistols, placed them on
table, and, looking hard at Huley, re-
marked:

''she VIII be buried Wednesday. At

As the captain approached the grave
he saw Huley seated on a bench under
the trees. The moon was full He walked
up and, without speaking, sat down upon
the bench. He saw clay clinging to Huleys
knees. The captain took out two pistols
and placed them upon the grass. They
caught eleam from the moon. For time

Bnnnack RetributiOn.

Firm Idaho comes what appears to be
truthful statement to the effect that three
white men who were supposed to be largely
responsible for the arrest and killing of
Bannack Indians who were hunting in the
Jackson's Hole country last July have them
selves been killed by Indians; shot from am
bush not far from the place where the orig
inal conflict was. The slaughter of these
white men is to be deplored. but 1t cannot
be regarded as an extraordinary sequel.
More than three months have elapsed since
the toughest Of the rough element in the
Jackscn's Hole region-backed by the state
Observation-Disclosures with one of the most
important Of the treaty rights possessed
by the Bannacks and were so rough in their
Interference as to arouse the just animosity
of every Indian who became aware of the
circumstances. The only motive which Inl-
PEELED the Jackson's Hole people to unlaw-
full activity was purely selfish; no excuse
has even yet been presented which can pos

sibly stand for a moment in any court Of
equity. Yet. practically nothing has been
done toward the punishment of those who
murderously oppressed the Bannack hunting
party. 1t is true that test case is about
to be made as to the rights of the Indian to
hunt in violation of the game laws of the
state but in accord with a treaty negotiated
by the United States: a case in which two
Bannacks have been formally arrested
under the act of the state legislature and
will be defended by the United States
through its district attorney for Wyoming.
No sound of inquiry as to the murders which
were committed by the white men; no eff
fort to inf1ict deserved punishment Is it
then at all remarkable that the Bannacks,
losing confidence in either the willingness or
the power of the general government to
command justice. should take the matter
OF punishment into their own hands? Civil
lied, educated men have done this thing
often, so there is really nothing strange in
the fact that savages who are believers in
the Mosaic doctrine of IAN eye for an eye"
have taken the law into their own hands
and have done something that should have
been done by the legal authorities of the
state some time ago.

Patrons Of local street-cars would I'M
doubtedly appreciate action by the Dis
trict Commissioners resulting in unanimity
to the stoppage of cable and electric
cars. Some time ago the Commissioners
gave a hearing to representatives of the
various companies interested, but If any
definite conclusion has been reached the
public is unaware of 1t. AS things are at
present the cars of the Capital Traction
Company cross intersecting streets before
stopping. while the cars of the Metropoli-
tan and Columbia companies are stopped
before they cross intersecting streets. This
difference works confusion and some Of
these days the confusion will result in a
serious accident. That all the cars should
be stopped on the near side of the cross
ings ought to be a self-evident proposition,
for then the danger of collision with We
hicles approaching at right angles is al
most entirely eliminated; Furthermore,
stoDDage on the near side makes it DOG,
sible for the gripman or motormaI to obey
the law which says that street cars shall
not stop outside the building line of in
tersectirg streets-a law which is violated
every minute by employees of the Capital
Traction Company.

"Get TOgether."

1t Is very unfortunate that there should
be among the various reform elements of
New York city active and apparently
controlling minorities, which are engaged
just now in trying to make bargains as to
patronage before they will consent to "get
together on the general and vital ques-
ton of beating Tammany. To the tax
payers and good citizens of the great city
Tammany means extravaganza and IN
competence To beat .Tammany is the
most important thing in the political view
today. Tammany must be beaten. not
once. nor twice. but often enough to crush
the life out of the old tiger and to warn
all future politicians that too much ma
chinery in politics is dangerous. The latest
word from the city Is that the different
factions and organizations that are COM
monty opposed to Tammany in thought
and principle are wrangling among them
selves, without any definite prospect that
harmony will result. The Issue Is import
ant enough, not alone for New York. but
for every other large city in the country,
to cause the reformers to leave no stone
unturned in the effort to save New York.
But If 1t has come to be mere question
of a distribution of the spols beforehand,
so that there must be chickering's and ne
gotiations and quarrels that threaten the
success Of the whole scheme, it might be
as well for the reform column to halt for
6 season or two and let the pillage begin
NEW. Then, perhaps, the drained and dis
gusted citizen will see his way clear to
downright determination 20 do what is
right, regardless of spoils, and to keep on
doing what Is right, Indifferent to factions.

Let the Ex-pre.ident. Alone.

If it be true, as stated, that Gen. Harri-
son Is earning legal fees that net him an
income two or three times as large as that
which the country paid him while he occu-
pied the White house. there would seem to
have been found an answer to the much
discussed question: What shall be done
with our ex-Presdents?" TIE best possible
thing to do. 1t would appear, Is to let them
severely alone. They are in no danger of
starvation No man who can step out of a
petty compensation of $4,000 year into a
law practice of upwards of $l50.OOO Is likely
to become an object Of public charity. The
country has not lost his services. He IS
doing good by stimulating the legal BUSH
ness. He Is keeping money in circulation
by acquiring and generously dispensing
large fortune. Mr.. Cleveland came into
contact with the readiness Of the people to
pay literally for the legal services of a man
who has ripened his general information
with four years Of work at the head Of the
affairs of the Nation; he found that there
is a splendid field for usefulness. just as
Gen. Harrison finds it today. for the men
who have graduated from the very finest
university in the world. There is some
thing more than a mere rush after a celeb
rity that makes the ex-presidential lawyer
so much in demand. Those who hire him
do not pay enormous fees for the sake of
a fgure-head. The commodity that is pur-
chased so dearly Is high character and in
tegrity. No man who has honorably filled
the office Of President is apt to resort to
trickery. He has acquired reputation that
is his stock-in-trade. To main tain it he en-
lists every particle of vigor and brain
power. His work. therefore, Is the best
that he can perform. His services are of
the highest order. His opinions represent
research. and reflect an experience that
SO few men acquire that there are seldom
more than two living who have passed
through it. Why, then, ask: What shall
be done with the ex-Presidents?" Let them
remain as they are; good. useful, prosper
Gus citizens, honored in their communities
and In their profession.

Popular interest in good fiction is shown
by the high-class stories which are being
published in The Star, with so much ac-
ceptance to its many readers. In today's
Star appears the opening of a story which
is not only an entertaining piece of fiction
written in an attractive style. but has the
additional feature of being "A Story of a
Mystery" AS The Stars readers of the
gentler sex follow the development of the
plot through the successive daily INSTALL
ments, their interest in a really capti-
waiting tale will be increased by the fact
that The Star offers a prize of $500 to the
woman reader who shall. prior to the publ
cation of the last installment, correctly
