This said the general reflectively,
is bad business, but we must make
the best of it. We must have the adj
Jutant draw up charges and specifica-
lions Immediately. charging all the
crimes in the calendar against him,
giving the names of 25 settlers as wit
nesses, and find him guilty on every
count and sentence him to be hanged.
We must forward the findings to
Washington for approval and trust to
luck
This was done at once. A voyage
to the states via Panama then required
from three to five months under favor
able conditions. After many days the
findings of the court-martial in the
Matra case were delivered at the war
department. Jefferson Davis was then
secretary of war and was, as is well
known, a great stickler for the routine
of procedure and the observation of
technical nceties then in recognized
usage in the conduct of court-martials.
After a careful Investigation of the
charges and critical examination of
the evidence he concluded that the sx-
IRENE penalty Of the law was not I'M
warranted and disapproved the findings
and provided for another form of pun
ishment for Matera. The decision was
started on it's way back to the golden
coast and after months it reached Sac
ramento.
Consideration ruled the hour of its
receipt by General Flournoy. What
was to be done? Here was an Indian
eight months buried who was not Off
cially dead at all, but was ordered to
be imprisoned as a horrible example!
Fortunately, in those days there was
not newspaper reporter always at
the official elbow seeking seeking news
for publication. A fresh copy of the
original proceedings was made and re-
turned to the secretary of war, accom-
panied by a private personal letter from
Flournoy, stating in detail the whole
truth. Again the findings were received
at Washington, perhaps with less hy-
percriticism than before, and were this
time gravely approved and the SEN
tence of the court ordered to be carried
into execution. His condemnation to
death arrived in California about the
time of the first anniversary of Mate
ra's burial, and he thus became Off
cially as well as bodily deceased.

Anti.Hanna Ohio Men.
~HE repub lican mix-up IN Ohio i

-~HE repub lican mix-up In Ohio is
a queer one. The Kurtz-Bush-
nell faction is constantly swear
ing war to the knife against Hanna
while protesting the greatest devotion
and fealty to Mckinley. This would
be funny if it We're not so serious. 1t
is to be presumed that Messrs. Kurt,
Bushnell and their followers are men
of fair average intelligence, and pos
sessing more than usual familiarity
with public affairs. They certainly
must know that, politically, Hanna and
Mckinley are one-the two cannot be
segregated. If they could be,
and if they were, it would
leave nothing at all of McKin-
ley. All that he is, both politically
and finacially, he owes to Hanna, and
he is completely under the influence
of the Cleveland boss Hanna's policy
is the policy of Mckinley. 1t is safe
to say that since his inauguration the
president has never made a move of
any Importance without consulting
Hanna, or opposed him in any matter
that was deemed material by either.
Mr.. Hanna represents everything
that is corrupting and vicious in Amer
lean politics, and Mr.. Mckinley is the
aigeat beneficiary OF his methods. 1t

~HE Salt Lake Tribune enters an
emphatic denial to ex-senator

~HE Salt Lake Tribune enters an
emphatic denial to ex-senator
Dubois statement that the silver
republicans of 1896 will support the
democratic ticket in 1900. 1t is, in any
event, certain that the Tribune will not
support Mr.. Bryan again. The reasons
which the Tribune gives for it's switch
are unique. Among them is the, alleged
fact that the leaders of the democratic
party are not true silver men; Mr..
Clevelands action in 1892, and there
after, is cited in proof. In view of the
overwhelming reputation Of Mr.. Cleve-
land by his party the Tribune's plea
is ridiculous.
Then, too, the Tribune claims that in
the inter-mountain states which were
carried by the combined forces, in 1896.
the democrats proceeded to prove that
silver was of no interest to them after
the election was over. How this can DE
shown, the Tribune fails to explain.
1t probably alludes to the circumstance
that in some of these states democrats
were elected to the senate and to other
offices, instead Of silver republicans or
populists. Let us see. Colorado elected
a silver republican, Mr.. Teller, senator.
and one silver republican and one popu-
list to the house of representatives.
That is the entire delegation. Utah
substituted a silver democrat for a gold
republican in the senate, and a silver
house. Montana elected a silver repub-
lican congressman, no senator being
elected. In Idaho a populist senator
was elected in place of Dubois, silver
republican, and a silver republican
congressman was chosen. In Wyoming
a silver democrat was elected to con-
gress over a Mckinley republican. In
Washington one silver democrat and
one silver republican were elected to
congress, and populist was sent to the
senate. In Nevada no change was
made.
In all this we fail ITO see either a lack
of fidelity to the silver cause or any
thing that smacks of extreme demo-
cratic partisanship. We know of no
| democrat elected in 1896 to either house
of congress, or to any other office, as a
silver man, who did not prove himself
true to the cause. Furthermore, so far
| as the outlook for 1900 has developed,
nothing has appeared to indicate that
| the Chicago declaration on the silver
issue will fail to be reaffirmed with en-
phasis. There is no room for reasonable
doubt that, if successful at the polls,
| the democracy will carry out the
| declaration.
| 1t would be interesting to have the
| Tribune, which has for years advocated
bimetallism as the great, paramount
issue, explain, if it can, what the re-
publican party has to offer in the way
of hope for the white metal, and what
Mr.. Dubois and his political friends can
possibly gain for their cause by return
ing to the republican fold. The sus-
picion is that the Tribune itself is so
badly disgruntled over a local situation
which does not pan out to it's liking that
it has lost sight of the vital Importance
of the silver issue. 1t should take a
lesson from Mr.. Dubois, who swallowed
his own disappointment like a man,
and who stands by the cause.

ESTIMATE OF DIR. PARRY.
Judge Edwards Talks Enthusiastic
ally of His Talented Friend.

Il am a great admirer of DIR. Joseph
Parry" said Judge Edwards yesterday
in discussing the coming concert with
Tribune reporter His life history
seems to me like a romance. While not
Pennsylvanian by birth, he came to
Danville when a young child and grew
up TO manhood working in the iron
mills. From the mills to the head of
the musical profession is certainly a
long step. His musical genius devel-
oped early and when a young man Of
only seventeen, sending his compost
tions to the national competitions in
Wales, they were so remarkable for
their quality that the committee re-
quired additional proof of the author
snip. This was done by the immediate
submission of other compositions equal
ly remarkable. Since that time, by un-
tiring work, he secured an education
along general lines, spent three years
at the Royal Academy of Music in Lon
don, graduating with high honors and
successfully passing the examination
at Cambridge for the degree of doctor
of music.
He is a great worker. His compo-
sitionS consist of operas, oratorios,
choruses, glees and all the musical
forms to be found in the art The
Pilrims chorus, which is well-known
to the people of Scranton, has been
sung by more musical organizations
probably than any other piece of
music. When 1 attended the great re-
ception to Hobson last year at the
Metropolitan Opera house the Gee club
ing Sailors Chorus and demanded a
repetition of it.
