Davidson Acquitted.

2. Davidson, of Minnewaukan, was
before U. s. Court Commissioner Nc
Glory Wednesday to answer to the
charge Of selling lemon extract to
Indians. The extract was sold to
Andrew Swift and Yellow Knife, both
of the Fort Totten reservation, and it
appears that they used it as a beverage.
The former is dead and the latter is
blind as the result Of their indulgence.
Mr.. Davidson keeps a general store
and handles lemon extract as he does
other commodities usually kept in
such stores. It appears that he was
not present at the time and that a
clerk who was ignorant of the fact that
lemon extract is a popular beverage
amongst a certain class of Indians
made the sale. Judge McClory dis
missed the case
Quite a number of Mr. Davidson's
Minnewaukan friends we're present
during the trial, among the number
being States Attorney Comstock,
Clerk of the Court Duncan, Fred
Shore and Banker Hegge.

TELLING FIGURES.

The influence of war agitation on the
revenues of the government is strikingly
illustrated in some figures printed in the
Boston Herald. Reckoned, says the
Herald. by business days-the fairest
and. indeed, the only fair way Of dealing
with the monthly statements-the Feb
ruary revenue averaged S1.2i2276 per
diem. of which 1868 .9i3 came from GUS
toms S521 .SS3 from internal revenue. and
$50. $50 from miscellaneous sources. As
there are 3O5 business days in the year,
continues the Herald, revenue running
on an average of S1,2i2,276 for each bust
ness day would produce a total of S31s,-
S941SO per annum. As Secretary Gage
had estimated the expenditures for the
current fiscal year at 1913, 100000. the Feb
ruary exhibit held the promise of a small
surplus of s5,S941S0.
This is taking a very optimistic view
a Dingley calculation view-however, con-
sidering the deficit that has piled up
But that aside. Let us turn with the
Herald to the figures for March, and
note the shrinkage of revenue in all the
items. computed Dy DuSlntSS udS says
our contemporary, the customs dropped
TO an average of $572,23S, the internal
revenue to $i77,3i2 and the miscellaneous
items to S35,S79, total of $1,OSj. ijS. Here
is a decrease of $Sl, 7O5 in customs. $H,5il
I'm internal revenue, and $2o,57 in miscel-
Ianeous receipts, diminuton Of Sl56,S23.
This would cut down the revenue to
1881 .O63. l65, and convert the surplus of
S5S94.1S0 noted for February into deficit
of S41 1896, SS5 for March, deterioration
of $i7SSl ,OlJ.

WEDNESDAY. ..... MARCH Is, 1898.
M Acr1nN YEsTERDAY.

Congress- took no action on the Presi-
dents message yesterday. How could it?
l. had not recovered from the state of
IeIplexity into which the extraordinary
incubation had thrown it. The only re-
sult so far has been the introduction in
the Senate by members Of that body IN
their individual capacity Of several Gu
ban resolutions antagonisuc to one an
other. and the eliciting Of some warlike
remarks.
II is assumed in certain quarters in
Washington that the committees of the
two houses 10 whom the message was re-
ferred will report to-day. and I'm these
same quarters immediate action is pro-
phesied. But i'm other circles more delay
and heated debate are predicted, and his
prediction acquires weight from the pro-
ceedings i'm Congress yesterday. II seems
unquestionable that the message has put
Congress more at sea than ever before
and further complicated the situation
The view Of the optimists is that more
delay in telling Spain unmistakabiy and
ass "a Gnalty what We mean makes for
peace. II this be soft delay makes for
peace with honor and the fulhlment of
our obligations to humanity-we shall
have been fortunate IN having such a
weak administration. But we see no
reason to hope that delay will tend in
that direction. President Mckinley threw
away the opportunity to lead Con-
gress in a policy that would have afforded
Spain no possible hope that further tenn
porizing would avail. and consequently
would. we believe, have forced her 10 sur
render lie threw away an opportunity
to secure peace by frmness and en-
couraged the Madrid government to sign
another bond with chance-the chance of
finally putting this government, whether
there is to be war or not at a disad-
vantage in the eyes Of the other Powers.
Whether there Is to be war or not, Presi-
dent Mckinley seems TO have played into
the hands of the Spanish diplomats, and
IL would appear that he has placed Con-
gress in a position in which it is likely to
do likewise.
