Secretary Upham, of the State His

from Mrs. Josephine Farmer, the
widow of Lieut.. Farmer, Of Spring Val

cavf, the authenticity Of the relics in
the museum currently reported to be
those Of Little Crow, the chief who was
killed near Hutchinson during the
Sioux outbreak of 1863. Lieut. Farmer
died in 1892, but his widow still lives
at Spring Valley, and her letter shows
that she has vivid recollection of the
incidents Immediately following Little
Crows tragic death. She refers to the
article published in the Globe recently,
and corrects one trivial error as to the
ownership of the wash-boiler in which
Little Crows skull was treated In
stead Of being her property, it belonged
to the landlady of the hotel at Glencoe,
which was the headquarters of her
husbands regiment. After being
cleaned Of It's flesh, the bone was

terror to the living patrons of the hotel

HE OBEYED THE LAW

The Washington news DISPATCHES

say, regarding the passage In the sem
ate of the house agricultural bill. that
the section Of the revised statutes
for the purchase and distribution Of
rare and uncommon seeds which
Secretary Morton declined to execute
in the current appropriation law. was
repealed" Secretary Morton did not
decline to execute the law. On the
contrary, he executed it literally and
as advised by the attorney general.
He called for offers of seeds that were
''rare and uncommon" None such
were offered except few flower seeds,
in insufficient quantities and at prices
ranging from $50 to $125 pound.
Had he bought common seeds, he
would have disobeyed the law and
merited impeachment 1t is entirely
characteristic of this congress, sent
down to reform things and practice

offered by Mr.. Rauen. If that Is true

PART OF THE BARGAIN,

It appears that the Populist members
of the United States senate were taken
somewhat by surprise when the mo-
ton came to recommit the tariff bill
sent up by the house. They had for
gotten, for the time being, the COM
Republican members for control of the
senate patronage. Being themselves,
by conviction and by public obligation,
utterly opposed to the high tariff prin-
ciple, they voted instinctiveIy as their
obligations of belief and allegiance re-
quired them to do. A Populist voting
crease Of tariff duties is like a Demo-
crat voting for a force bill, or a Pro-
hibitfonist for unlimited license and
free whisky. On conviction the thing
is impossible. It was natural enough,
therefore. that when this motion was
sprung in the senate, the Populist
members, taken unawares and unre-
minded of their obligations, should
vote, as they naturally would, to send
the tariff bill to limbo from which 1t
might not return. Since that time, it
is evident that their memories have
been logged by their Republican allies
in dividing the senate offices. They
have now discovered that they are de-
sirous Of a reconsideration of the bill,
nd int, 70 ft,o&
take 1t UP is renewed they will be
found on the affirmative side.
IF they can stand the imputation
which such action will place upon their
conduct and their motives, no one else
has reason to complain. It is only
little wider opening of the door into
that shameful chamber where the COM
pact between the Populists and the Re-
publicans to capture the organization
of the senate was concluded Both Re
publicans and Populists signed away
at that time, for the sake of few COM
mittee chairmanships and private
clerks. their honorable defense of doc
trines to which they had professed the
stoutest support. The Republicans,
not only those of the Western states.
but the sound money men of the East
as we'll, yielded to the Populist de-
mand to turn the organization over to
free silver. The Populists, on their
side, as is now made evident, agreed to
some such assistance for the Repub-
ican tariff programme as that which
they have just given.
No such bargain as that which was
struck between these two parties can
ever be carried out without the secret
OF 1t coming, sooner or later, to the
public eye. We will leave it for the
gentlemen Of the other side to deter
mine whether the Republican sena-
tors or their Populist auxiIiaries will
suffer more in the public esteem, and
in the opinion Of their constituents. nv
this arrangement. The interesting
part Of it is the proof of sincerity
which 1t offers to the people of the
professions Of the patronage-mongers
who are parties to it, one of devotion
to sound money and the other Of do
votion to low tariff duties. in the
farmers behalf. We wish each of
them joy Of its bedfellow.

TROUBLE At AN EVICTION,
Two Women Under Arrest as u Re-
suit.

There were lively times out at 401 Earring
ton avenue yesterday afternoon, growing out
of Constable Walter BOyd's efforts to serve
eviction papers upon an old coiored woman
named Ammy Carter. When Boyd effected the
service of his papers, Mrs. Carter left the
house and went to seek her married daughter
Mrs. Adams, who lives in the neighborhood
Meantime Mrs. Adams had reached Mrs Car
ters residence, and become engaged in an al
tercation with the constable, which ended in
her Selling a stick of wood and hurting 1t at
his head. Boyd lodged the missile and took
Mrs. Adams, a prisoner, to the Rondo street
police station. During this interval C. K
Boyd, the agent for the property, wandered
around to see how things were getting on,
and he ran face to face with Mrs. Carter, who
had returned to get some of her plants. Old
Mrs. Carter and Agent Boyd could not agree
any better than Mrs. Carriers daughter and
Constable Boyd. and the argument which they
entered into regarding their respective rights

STOLE TWO PIGS.
Why n Market Merchant Set the
Police at Work

Joseph Reising, a butcher doing bust
ness at one of the stalls in the market
house sheds, yesterday reported to the
police that two dressed hogs, valued
at So, had been stolen from his place
Thursday night, and asked assistance
in recovering his property. Later in
the day the police learned that two
young men, Stephen Devereaux and
Jim Sullivan, had been endeavori1g to
dispose of two hogs among the down
town boarding houses, and placed them
under arrest. Late last night Lieut..
Sexton and Sergeant Pother visited the
house of Thomas Carroll, $40 Fauquier
street, and found the stolen porkers
stored away IN the cellar.
Carroll was arrested on the charge Of
receiving stolen property and j. B.
Clark, driver for J. C. Hanley, a fuel
merchant at Eighth and Wacouta
streets, was also taken into custody,
charged with being implicated in the
theft. Clark is said to have taken

pigs and to have succeeded in domoral-
ling the wagon in his journeyings.
