the authorities cannot reach him, but the
latest move may bring him to terms, TOR
the order for his arrest ordered an attach

pay the alinony, and he may take other

her alimony is not doubted, for only yes

They have called upon the President,
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
the Secretary of the Interior. They con-

itself to the white fathers, and that their
plea will be entertained. The Comanches

privileges, which this country has been

He declares that he will not surrender
the pro ocoI to the department. No one
has yet been appointed minister, and as
there is not much of a contest for the
place, Mr. Smythe may be continued in
office until the protocol for the posses

Honesty in Public Men.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Many of our Fourth of July orations were
full Of pessimistic talk, calculated to UNI
duly alarm the unthinking masses. This
sort of talk very naturally comes from
men who feel that the world must be 60
ing wrong when their splendid talents CD
do not meet with adequate recognition. A
country that can't discover and reward it's
best brains, they say to themselves, is GER
tainly on the down grade. 1t may be, per-
haps, that evolution is working marvellous
changes in our economical and political
systems that are little comprehended by
our puny observers. This we do know:
Things as rule don't eVolute backwards
so it is decidedly the best to take a hope
full view OF the situation. Even the great
and good Washington expressed some very
gloomy forebodings in his farewell address.
He wasn't absolutely sure the country un-
der the guidence of other hands would pros
per- OF course, the public conscience must
ever be kept aroused as TO the welfare
of our country, but this can be done just
as we'll without predicting the downfall of
the government and encouraging q general
diStruSt in our system.
The real trouble with our government is
not so much a defect of system as one of
men. Our country is suffering more from
the dishonesty of its citizens and public
officials than from any other cause. 1t can
not be justly said that it is the imperfection
of our plan of government that causes
men believed to be upright to desert the
principles that secured their election as
school trustees, cOuncilmen and other pub
lie positions, rather than their weakness
and inherent dishonesty. We turn out one
set of rascals only to find we have turned
in a new lot Can there be no test found by
which the integrity of men can be meas
ured? What does this all indicate? Plain
ly, that the standard of common honesty
is very low among the great majority of
our people both in and out of churches.
The acquisition of money at any cost seems
rn ha ha E Catrr aTrd
the public seems to accept the victors in
this conquest with equal favor no matter
how they captured their prizes. Possibly.
when we begin as nation TO pay much
attention to breeding and educating honest
men, as we now do to hog and cattle rails
ing and money getting. the ideals of our
grand scheme of government viii be much
better worked out. Trusts and other I'M
lawful combinations in restraint of trade,
greedy corporations and the like, will all be
brought within proper limits Just so soon
as dishonest men can be made to feel the
power Of an educated and enlightened pub
lie conscience. and not until then.

AS the action of the Senate placing tax
on stock and bond transactions will doubt
less be concurred in by the House. it may
be regarded as fixed fact. AS a necessity
exists for more revenue than can well be
raised by customs duties, especially since
the excessive importatons during the last
few months under the low rate of duties
internal revenue taxes offer the best means
of raising it. The Journal has urged an in
crease Of the tax on beer, and still believes
that would have been the best way 10 raise
the additional revenue needed, but Con-
gress could not or would not see the matter
in that light. The taxation of bond ana
stock transactions is as legitimate as any
other tax and will probably be popular
with all except those who have to pay 1t
which, by the way, is measurably true of
all taxes. The imposition of the tax will
revive q form of taxation which has not
been used in the United States for many
wears. During the war and for some time
afterwards a stamp tax was imposed on
bank checks, drafts and bills of exchange,
on promissory notes, bills of lading, deeds,
mortgages, contracts, bonds, probated wills
and other papers of this class. The stamps
which were required to be used embraced
eight different classes or sizes and thirty
two denominations, varying from one cent
to one hundred dollars. 1t was a very use
full tax to the government because it was
easily and cheaply collected, and the
stamps, being carefully engraved, were not
counterfeited. The experience with this
law showed that the largest revenue came
from the smallest taxes universally diff
fused. In 1865 one-third of the entire stamp
revenue was derived from bank check
stamps of two cents each and the match
stamps of one cent. Most of these stamp
taxes were repealed soon after the close
of the war, but those on bank checks and
drafts continued several years longer.
The new law will tax all bonds, deben-
lures or stock certificates issued after Sept.
10 1897, by any company or corporation five
cents on each hundred dollars, and every
sale and transfer of stock two cents on
each hundred dollars The tax will apply
TO the stock of all Incorporating companies
and to all bonds except government, state,
county and municipal, and, the stocks or
bonds of building and loan associations. 1t
also applies to stock or bonds issued in the
reorganization of a corporation the same as
on original organization, and to private
sales of stock or bonds the same as if made
on a stock board. Whether it will reach
speculative transactions made on margin,
in which no stock changes hands and no
transfer is made, is doubtful If it does
not a very large class OF transactions Will
escape the tax.

more!" was the keynote and refrain of his
address. To his jaundiced vision 1.-The foun-
dation stones of the Republic are slipping
away" Universal corruption is destroy
ing our country" the people see the hope
of their children disappearing, poverty
hanging over the future and the black flag
of hunger floating over one of the richest
nations on Gods earth;' and much more of
the same sort. While Altgeld was uttering
these libels on the country thousands of
Christian Endeavorers were assembling in
San Francisco, whittier they had travelled

road trains were traversing the country in
all directions, conveying its products from
one State to another; the waters of the
great lakes and rivers We're stirred by
steamers engaged in the same work; thou
sands of steam engines, resting only for
day, would be ready to resume their pro-
ductive work in a few hours millions of
acres of wheat were ripening for the har-
vest, and more millions of acres of corn
were growing as fast as corn ever grew.
These and d thousand other evidences of
general prosperity could be seen by any
person wishing or willing to see them, but
Altged could see nothing but the black
ness OF darkness, present poverty and com
ing despair. Altgeld himself is a living refL-
tation of all his libels on the country and
its institutions and people, Coming here
foreigner, poor and friendless, he accu-
INFLATED wealth far beyond what ne could
have accumulated in his native country and
attained political honors far beyond his
deserts. He closed his diatribe by saying:
THE Benedict Arnold of 1880 sleeps on Eng
lish soil. Let the Benedict Arnolds of this
age make their graves beside him." To
this we reply, the Hessians of 1880 who came
here to assist in enslaving the country re-
turned, those who survived, to fertilize
German soil with their bones. Let the Hes
slams of the present day who have come

dence go back and make their graves be-
side the others.
