per cent. debt extended to 1889, and
$500,000 was paid off, but strangely
enough the debt remained at So, 3,416, ,465.
In 1887 what was called "a Temporal

current expenses and avoid bankrupt
cy, which was only new method of
transferring the money of the sinking
fund. raised TO reduce the debt, to the
bankTu,l general revenue fund, and
this iIfl the fund too low to redeem
the 5000 ,0UG due July l, 1883, and a
new loan of 100000 was made to as
s!st, and $619, 500 was paid, and the re-
naming DEBT was S3,O46,665.
In 1890 $685. and in 1891, 1892,
1898 and 1894 s25O,0CO each year, leav-
ing the debt $l,541 ,665. That year,
however, another s5OO.OOO bond was
issued to raise money to meet current
state expenses and the debt was in
creased to S2,04l ,665 as on Nov. Is,
1892. Since then the regular payments
-s250,000 year-have been made and
the debt stood Nov. l. 1896, at $1,541,-
665, just where it stood before the loan
of 1894.
The sinking fund levy since 1880 has
been one-half mill on the dollar of
taxable property Of the state.

All this borrowed money and all

when the Republicans were in charge
of both legislative and executive de-
partments of the state, and they are
responsible for them, because they in
creased taxation rather than reduce
expenditures as they should have done.
The State Debt and Sinking Fund Mis-
managed.
If attention is directed from this
management of state affairs to the
management of the state debt and
sinking fund, nothing will be found
that justifes the claims Of the govern
or and senator that there has been even
ordinary business judgment exercised,
but, on the other hand, evidence that
there has been eXtravagant misman-
agement, if not criminal wrong-doing.
The total Funded Debt" of the
state, Nov. IS, 1885, was 1920, ,229.19,
payable as follows:
$2,2l2,Ji4. 10 after Dec 81, 1886, at 4 per

MINERS DENOUNCE BUSHNELL.
CThe Dispatch. April 10. 1861

fThe Dispatch, April 10, 1860
The resolution was presented indors-
ing the candidacy of Hon. ]. ]. Lane,
of Nelsonville, O., as a candidate for
member of the state board of arbitra-
ton. The resolution was not second
ed.
President Ratchford said that there
appeared to be some reason for this,
but he did not know what it was. AS
for himself he has no further favors
to ask at the hands of the present state
administration.
The last state convention unani-
mously indorsed Hon. w. It. Lewis
for labor statistician and the request
was not granted, after committee had
waited on the governor.
Mr.. Lewis had been indorsed by
some of the largest labor organiza-
tions in the state, and yet he was not
appointed. Under these circumstances
he personally was opposed to asking
Governor Bushnell for further favor.
(The Press, April 10, 1867
After the resolution favoring the ap-
pointment of Hon. j. J. Lane, of Nell
sonville, was read before the conven-
ton, President Ratchford arose and
bursted a bombshell in the convention
by stating that he was opposed to the
resolution, not because he hadn't the
highest regard for Mr.. Lane, and con-
fidence in his ability for that position
or any ether to which he might aspire,
but because of the rebuke which the
present administration has given to
trades unions of Ohio by refusing to
re-appoint Hon. w. r. Lewis to the
position Of labor commissioner. He
said that Mr. Lewis was unanimously
indorsed by the miners in two conven-
tions, one in the Hooking Valley and
the other in this city, as well as the
iron workers, moulders and building
trades generally, and for this reason
President Ratchford said he had no
further favors to ask of the present
state administration.
This feeling prevailed among the del
egates and no sooner had President
Ratchford sat down than the conven-
tion burst into applause.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Interest in the French republic has
lately been manifested by observers and
writer's about its system. 1t is very gen.
orally agreed by American writers that
| while the French republic has the con-
sttutional framework Of republican
government that its people lack that
spirit of individual or personal liberty
which is likely to prove its instability.
Governments, and especially republi-
can governments, do not depend so much
upon written constitutions and personal
liberty laws as they do upon the spirit
of the people who are its supporters.
The people of the United States have a
clear appreciation of their personal priv
ilcges under a republican form of gov
eminent, and they would not sooner suf-
fer arrest without due process of all
the forms Of law than they would submit
TO a personal insult. In fact, an at
tempted arrest without warrant and a
compliance with all the forms of the
statute is the gravest and most serious
insult to citizen Of this republic, not
only on his own account, but on account
of his country and its institutions. The
people of this country regard every form
Of tyranny or the assumption of power
not conferred upon the officers of the
law as "A serious menace to the funda-
mental institutions of the country, and
they would resist it with their lives.
Not so are the citizens of France. They
have all the forms of law to protect
them in the enjoyment of personal lib
erty, but they lack both the proper ap-
probation of these statutory guarantees,
and the ideas Of personal freedom that
would take offcnse at an arbitrary and
illegal assumption Of power by their Off
cials, and lacking this they lack the true
and genuine spirit of republican form
of government. This is the danger that
threatens the stability of the republic of
France. Besides being vacllating and
ever ready for any kind of change that
monetary excitement may suggest, they
are also wanting in that spirit always
exhibited by IA citizen of the United States
when II disposition is manifested to in
trude upon the personal rights which he
regards as sacred.
We repeat that a government does not
derive its strength and active vigor, as
well as its perpetuty, from its forms of
law so much as it does when its forms
of government are the embodied mani
festation of the spirit of patriotism that
beats in the common heart of its people.

MONTANA INDIAN TROUBLES.
No Reports From the Scene-War
Office Officials Are Not Alarmed.

o"ce omciaIs Are Not Alarmed.
Washington. May 31.-The Indian
troubles in southern Montana reported
from Helena was made known to the au.
thorities of the war department last week
ana IN the opinion of the officials are not
llKely TO be followed by serious results
The first news of the affair came to the
department in telegram from COL Sher.
idan, the adlutant general of the depart
ment at st. Paul. At present the depart
ment has command, owing to the recent
retlrements among the major generals
and the brigadier generals and the delay
IN assigning the new commands among
the colonies recently promoted Secre-
tary Alger himself is responsible for the
command, and he is directing the affairs
through Adjt. Gen. Ruggles. Col Sher-
ldans telegram was received last Fri
day and simply stated that report had
come to headquarters at st. Paul that
two white men, herders, had been killed
near Lame Deer reservation in southern
Montana. To guard against trouble, two
troops of cavalry were ordered by tele-
graph from Fort Custer. They started
last Friday, and since then no report
has come to the war department. though
it is possible that Secretary Ager, who
is now at West Point, may have been
telegraphed. The absence of other re-
ports lrOH tne troops SatlS1ed the war
department that the trouble has been
guieted. for they would be sure to hear
if anything so serious as the killing of
troops had occurred. Moreover, the
agency where the men are reported to
have been killed is in command of an
army officer. Capt. Stouch, who, it is said,
has the entire confidence of the Indians
and is capable of dealing with them with
out friction if not interfered with by
outsiders. There is a disposition at the
department to attribute the affair to the
encroachments of the whites living in the
neighborhood of the Indians.
No intimation of any trouble near the
Cheyennes has reached the interior de-
partment and the Indian officials are at
a loss to account for the lack of adyices
if any trouble has occurred or is appre-
hended. In view of the lack of official
advices, the fact that the agency is in
close telegraphic communication and that
the agency is in charge of an experienced
army officer, no alarm or uneasiness as
to the safety of the people in that section
is felt. No incidents have been reported
to the department recently that would
likely lead to serious results and the fact
that reports date the trouble several days
back is cited as significant.

IMPORTED DECOCTIONs OF WINES.

1t is admitted that DIR. Chancellor OF
Baltimore, our consul at Bordeaux,
France, told the truth about French
wines containing dcleterious and pois-
onous compounds, but it was said by the
department at Washington that he was
not sent there to report on the manner
of manufacturing wines by the French,
and we believe an apology was made to
France. If our consuls are not sta
toned abroad to protect the interests of
the people of the United States, what
are they sent there for, anyhow?
The fact, however, has become known
through this source that not a bottle of
pure wine is shipped from France to this
country, but Dr. Chancellor who is u
skillful chemist, and most reliable man,
says 1t is concocted of poisonous COM
pounds, sometimes fatally injurious to
those who drink it. This should be suffi-
cient to bar champagne and other French
wines from use in this country. The
Bordeaux wine sellers guide contains n
recipe for making all wines with basis
which our sick are often dosed is made
by putting several pounds of unslacked
lime into barrel of common whisky and
permitting to stand for forty-eight hours.
Not only are the wines of France i'm
ported to this country impure, but the
Germans, who are so careful not to eat
American pork. fearing trichna, also
adulterate the wines they ship TO this
country in the same way the French
adulterate wines they export.
1t is generally claimed that wine
drinking people do not become drunkards
and that it is better to drink wine than
the fiery whisky manufactured in this
country. If these imported wines are
thus adulterated, as we have the most
creditable testimony that they are, it is
better to drink the whisky of our own
country, if that is not also adutcrated,
hut it is generally adulterated. The tax
on whisky has appealed TO the same ra-
pacity in this country that the cheap
and obnoxious decoctions called foreign
wines appealed TO the rapacity of the
French and German exporter of wine,
and the safe side is to drink cold water
but even that sometimes contains deadly
microbes, which can he killed by boiling
the drinking water-the safest way to
prepare it fer use.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-06-03

clared, can forbid such manufacture,
sale or use within her territory; but
when state recognizes and approves the
manufacture, sale and barter or exchange
as beverage of alcoholic liquor and the
state itself encourages the manufacture,
engages in the sale of and provides for
the consumption of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage and so precludes the idea that
such manufacture, sale, barter, exchange
or use are injurious to the public welfare,
it is not lawful exercise of public power
to forbid the importation of such liquors
or their sale in original packages for per-
sonal use and consumption. Such prohi-
biton under such circumstances is in
conflict with the laws of interstate and
foreign commerce.
I'm view of these facts, the dspensary
act, in so far as it forbids the importation
of alcoholic liquors in original packages
into this state, is in conflict of laws of
interstate and foreign commerce and is,
therefore, TO that extent, void"
The court then goes into a lengthy dis
cussion of the facts and the law of the
case.
The case which elected the decision
was a suit brought by California wine
and liquor company, whose goods,
shipped to a custom house in South Caro-
lima, were seized by the dispensary
officials. The shippers asked for a
permanent injunction to prevent further
seizures of its goods. After reviewing
the law involved. Judge Simonton says
the attempt to forbid the importation and
sale of spirituous liquors in original pack
ages must fail.

The Washington City jailor who is
keeping a first-class hotel for the broker,
Chapman, refused the other day to allow
a brother to carry provisions to sick
brother, who is serving term in Jail
for some misdemeanor. and the aforesaid
jailer is getting the lash laid on by the
press with unmerciful keenness. If the
press would always do its duty in this
respect we would have all prisoners
treated alike. Fortunately for The
Statesman, it has had no local causes for
critical comment on this line, but all jails
are not conducted like the Travis county
Jail, notably the Jail in Washington City,
where the wealthy are treated with as
much consideration and fare as well as
if they were at a first-class hotel, and the
poor are treated with rigor and are not
permitted the privileges that no man
should be deprived Of before he is CON
victed of crime.
1t has always occurred to us that there
should be two compartments in every
jail, in one of which prisoners charged
with, but not convicted of, crime should
have all the privileges compatible with
security of the person of the prisoner.
and another compartment, where rigid
rules should be enforced upon prisoners
that have been convicted of crime. That
plan would comport with the theory of
our law that every man must be re-
garded as innocent until proven other
wise before a court.
Important witnesses, who can not give
bond for their appearance and who are
imprisoned, are thrown among criminals
of the most vicious dispositions and de-
grading associations. This is an out
rage. Such witnesses should be allowed
an excluive part of the prison and
should be furnished with better than
ordinary prison fare. IL.

Cheyenne indian TROUBLE
CAUSE OF THE EXCITEMENT AT
THE LAME DEER AGENCY IN
MONTANA.
U. 5. TROOPS SENT 70 THE Scene
Settlers Anxious to Avenge Murder
OF n Sheep Herder-sheriT and
Posse Sent to Arrest Indians.
Blood May Flow.

Helena, May 31.-Reports of the killing
of the several men by the Cheyenne In
dams at Lame Deer agency are not veri-
fled. 1t is not believed any one was
killed, except sheep herder named
Hoover, whose murder week ago
caused all the excitement. The settlers
and cowboys determined to ayenge his
death and give the Cheyennes an object
lesson TO deter them from similar acts in
the future They sent all the women
and children to places of safety, armed
themselves and congregated near the
agency and demanded the surrender of
Hoover. The Indians armed themselves
and made threatening demonstrations
against the whites, but no battle has been
fought nor massacre begun so far as is
known. Six companies of United States
troops are at the agency. The Indians
declare they do not want to fight the sol
diers, but are anxious to have brush
with the white settlers and cowboys.
There is conflict of authority between
the Indian agent, Capt. Stouch. and the
sheriff of Custer county. The sheriff's
deputies were ordered off the reserva-
ton by the agent. They returned to
Miles City and got a warrant for the ar
rest of the agent for interfering with the
officers and started back to arrest him.
Lame Deer is sixty miles from tele-
graph office, and the result of their eX-
petition is not known.
The trouble is due to the charges of set
tiers that the Indians steal their cattle,
and counter charges of the Indians that
the settlers continually intrude on the
reservation.
Governor Smith wired President Nc
Kinley today, protesting against the ac-
ton of Capt. Stouch, and asking that he
be directed not to interfere with the civil
officers.
Stouch says he can and will arrest the
murderers as soon as the excitement dies
out.

That Illinois citizen is in bad fix who
moved with his family to Washington
City on the strength of his senator's
promise to get him government job, and
just as he got settled in Washington his
senator attacked the administration and
reduced his constituents chances for
office under his endorsement from 80 per
cent to 2 IL per cent. The senator is
under obligations TO lend his constituent
money enough to move back to Illinois,
but we doubt if he will take that view
of it.

TO QUELL THE INDIANS,
Six Companies of Soldiers En- Route
to the Cheyenne Agency.

Helena, May 31.-Excitement continues
on the Cheyenne reservation and in the
settlements in the vicinity. Ranchmen
on upper Rosebud have all deserted their
houses. Six companies of soldiers from
Forts KeOugh and Custer are en- route
to the agency, as is also the sheriff OF
Custer county, with large numbers of
deputies.
The sheriff has warrant for the ar
rest of the Indian agent, Stouci:, charged
with interfering with officers in the dis
charge of their duty; also four of the In
dian murderers. The sheriff will prob
ably arrive at the reservations with his
deputies tomorrow, and endeavor to ar
rest the murderers of the sheep herders.
while the soldiers and civil officers will
be- prepared to quell any outbreak. Con
siderable anxiety is manifested. Many
gravity of the situation has been much
exaggerated.

Sensational Arrest.

Atlanta, Ga. May 31.-Mrs. z. a.
Godfrey, 40 years old, handsome and pos
ter of Hon. Benjamin Digger, who rep
resented Fannin county in the state legis-
lature for several terms, was arrested and
placed in Jail at Elijah this morning,
charged with murder. A true bill
was found against her by the Fannin
county grand jury on the testimony of
her own son and daughter, who swore
that six years ago she stranged and
buried her daughters illegitimate child.
Investigation of the spot where these
witnesses testified the body was buried
revealed a crumbling box. On this evil
dence Mrs. Godfrey was arrested and
will be tried.
