THOSE BOND DEALS.

Senator PETERS head as a conserva-
tive Pop, was level when he proposed
by resolution that the American people
were entitled to know something OF
CIeveland's successive bond deals, In
which millions upon millions Of dollars
Of profits in the way of swag went into
somebody's pockets. 1t would have
been more satisfactory IL the resolu-
ton after being SO pertinaeiously fill
bustered, could lave gone into the
hands Of a special investigating COM
mittee rather than into the fostering
care OF the goldbug standing commit
tee on finance. 1t will not be prose
cuted with that vigor and thorough
ness, ia all probability, that would
have characterized the work of a spe-
cial commission empowered to send
for persons and papers, but 1t may
bring out considerable information that
will be both interesting and helpful.
The bond sales OF the last two years
have left a serious blot upon the Cleve-
land administration. Even Democrats
themselves did not hesitate to attack
them. Ex-Governor Campbell Of Ohio
in a recent interview condemned Secre-
tary Carlisle for refusing TO pay out
silver as we'll as gold when the specu-
lators attempted to drain the gold re-
serve in order to force bond sale. He
insisted that IL Carlisle had had the
courage Of Daniel Manning he would
have saved the nation s240,Oco,ooO. A
senatorial investigation may throw
some additional light upon this sub

AN INDIAN OUTRAGE.

Whether the Indian has been right

towards them as wards, is not going

ON top OF these unnatural burthens en-

must necessarily depend upon complex
conditions, and it is not often that the
one is selected that offers the least re-
sistance to traction.
The kind of material ut hand, its
durability. the kind of traffic to be &C
commodated, all enter into the ques-
ton of selection.
The use of material that wal insure o
permanent, smooth surface, wet or dry,
and unaffected by frosts. besides being
obtained at reasonable price, is TO be
commended.
While the results given above are
approximate, NJ the exact tractive force
varies over the same road, probably.

ably no two roads are exactly tho

From the above table we see one

o N unpacked earth dry and one-third to
o%ne-fourth ton OH packed earth after

The exceedingly low tractivc force on
steel rails explains the assertion often
made that it is often cheaper to haul
freight by rail from points in the Mis-
sissippi valley to the seaboard than to
deliver IL from the farm to the railway
station.
This is especially true during hard
winters, when all farm products are
higher than ut any other time and more
