sMUGGLED JEWELS.

E. J. PEPKE, A NORTH DAKOTA
VOLUNTEER ARRESTED IN CHI
CAGO FOR SELLING SMUGGLED
JEWELS-HAS $1,000 WORTH HE
GOT. AT MANILA.
Chicago, May 22.-Emil j.. Pepke,
who during the Spanish-American
war served in the Philippines with
North Dakota regiment, is a prisoner
at Desplaines Street station charged
with evading the customs law. His
release depends upon a novel law
point.
Pepke is accused of having brought
diamonds and other jewels valued at
81, 800 from Manila without having
them appraised by customs officer.
In some respects the case resembles
one in which Judge Lochren of Minne-
sofa recently decided that the terri
tory of Puerto Rico is under the con-
stitution Of the United States and
therefore exempt from the duty law.
Pepke was arrested Thursday night at
Halsted and Madison street while try
ing to dispose Of a diamond. When
searched fourteen gems were found in
his possession.
He explained to Captain Shippy that
he purchased the jewels in Manila, but
at first his story was not believed and
he was locked up pending further in
vestigation. Special Agent Thomas
O'Keefe Of the subtreasury coniscated
the gems yesterday and Pepke was or
dered over to the federal authorities.
Pepke says that when the war with
Spain began he was selling jewelry at
WahpetOn, N. D. He enlisted and
went to the front with Colonel Treu-
mann's command. While there he
purchased the diamonds and other
jewels for the purpose of selling them
upon his return.

BLACKHAWK FREE.
U. S. COURT AT FARGO ,ACQUITS |
FRANK BLACKHAWK, THE
HALE RREED


Fargo, May 23-Frank Blackhawk,
of Standing Rock, was placed on trial
in the United States court yesterday
on an Indictment charging him with
stealing horse belonging to Adoph
Wise, an Indian on the reservation.
The testimony was rather contradic-
tory, but it appears that the horse in
question was afterwards placed by
Blackhawk as a wager on a horse race,
which he lost. During the afternoon
all the testimony was taken, and At
torney Stambaugh, who appeared for
the defense, moved that a verdict for
acquittal be directed, on the grounds
that the indictment stated that the
horse in question which Blackhawk
was accused of stealing, did not belong
to him but was the property of Mrs.
Adolph Wise. Judge Amidon then
directed a verdict of acquittal, and
Blackhawk is again free man.

The reports OF the American savings
banks show what Is the real money power
Of the United States. and knock many
large holes IN the argument 30 much
heard during political campaigns that
the rich are growing Richer and the poor
poorer According 20 figures furnished by
the Independent, tho aggregate number
81 depositors in the savings banks Of the
country. on June ~ 1880. was ass. 90. and
the fetal amount Of the deposits Of these
people was nts4Tlasaa. In the ten years
last pas, which Included -four years OF
the profogndest depression that the coun.
try has ever witnessed. there was an In
crease Of nearly - per cent IN the num-
Der OF eepositors in savings banks. with
an addition OF Sc per cent 20 the aggre-
gate amount OF savings
These figures show that one-fourseenth

another campaign comes around. With

elements are warned to be little less
obtrusive for a season. Then the bars
may be let down again when their vote is
necessary. ana the whirligig runs merriiy.
We have strengthening and brighten
ing hope that the time has almost arrived
when IT will be impossible to fool even
part of the people all OF the time. or all
of them some OF the time. 1t is essential
to good government and to any reform
worthy Of the name. Local authorities
viii respect the will Of the people when
they fear It; otherwise the game goes on.
and II is eternaily the same old game.
Good government is nowhere a matter
Of extreme dificulty. Those charged with
the execution OF the laws can prevent all
but rare and occasional crime. can put
any check they please upon the less open
but more repugnant forms OF vice down
to the minimum limit set by the weakness
Of human nature itself. And the people
can have this done when they get to be
in earnest about the matter and take an
unmistak4bie and unaiterabie stand. 1t is
because. as the genius OF p. T. Barnum
discerned. they love to be humbugged that
they get insincerity and duplicity as their
daily food.
Nov Is good time for the law and
order loving people to determine that they
win have a reform that is genuine. that
covers the inside Of the cup as well as the
outside. that is based upon honest inten-
ton. that is maintained by wholesome
fear Of the consequences Of unfaithfulness
to II. and that therefore comes to stay.
The matter is worth thinking about in
all the cities OF the country. not emitting

population. and the aggregats amount OF
such savings is considerably IN excess Of
the total money OF all kinds In circulation
in the United States.
Depositors in savings banks are. -
practically uniform rule. laboring people
and producers. They constitute the great
est financial power in the country. The
aggregate wealth OF all Of the Million
aires in the country is hardly as great as
the savings Of labor In the form Of bank
deposits, not to mention the many other
investments made from such savings. If
the savings of labor were invested in the
stock Of manufacturing companies, In
stead OF In savings banks, large share
OF the Industrial enterprises Of the coun-
try could be actually owned by the men
who work for wages.
Savings bank deposits AFFORD an index
to only one portion Of the savings OF
the many. as compared with the accu-
muiated wealth OF the relatively few rich.
According to the statement OF Or. Pow
ers. chief statisticias. the savings Of the
American people, in the larger sense. have
reached the enormous sum Of "a. 900, 100000.
That is to say. the value OF all Of the
property In the country Is now about $780,
ooc,ooo.ooo. against sssOs7. 100000 ten years
ago. THE addition is . saving greater
than all, Of the people Of the Western
continent had been able to make from the
discovery Of Columbus to the breaking out
OF the civil war" The greater part Of
this saving has been effected within the
past four years.
The truth II that while the fortunes OF
the rich have enormously expanded with
in the past generation, the aggregate
wealth OF the people not numbered among
the rich has Increased in much greater
proportion. The money lords Of the coun-
try today--the money lenders Of the coun-
try-are the thrifty wage earners, whose
savings are deposited in savings banks.

people who preserve an exterior aspect OF
