al Court, refusing writ Of haJcas
Corpus To John \. Benson charged
with conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment. Under this decision, Benson
will be taken to Washington for trial.
He has been connected with the Cali
fOrnia and Oregon land frauds and has
successfully fought service for removal
to Washington, where he dare not
risk chances Of conviction. The de-
cision virtually means the removal, as
we'll, Of Hyde, Diamond and others,
who are fighting extradtion from San
Francisco to the national capital to
answer on the same charge, and is q
forecast of what the result will tie if
the cases finally reach the highest
judicial tribunal. Malefacturs need
not expect that it. will reverse the
action Of the lower courts, il they find
the conspira,ors guilty as charged by
indictment. Benson was indicted for
having bribed certain clerks in the
General Land Office to give advance
information to him regarding the
creation Of California land reserves,
and the government now has informa-
ton that the Oregon land-iraud ring
had the same clerks bribed to give in

TROLLING FOR "CoD- FISH" "A clev-
er swindle has been successfully played
on society DANES in Chicago. A well
dressed Lothario, with fine address
and insinuating ways, hattered each OF
the victims he visited by protesting the
belief that she was the acknowledged
leader OF the most exclusive set. He
then declared, in confidential tones,
that his firm, realizing that fact, had
sent him to her with the information
that she had been selected to share in
the distribution of prizes for advertis'
ing purposes. He then produced q
package of envelopes containing, he
said, money in varied amounts, one oil
quite large sum, and that by buying
package a large prize in money
would be assured. The envelopes were
not to be opened until half an hour af
ter his departure. Shallow as was the
device, it caught scores OF women
who, had they belonged to the under
crust, would have been regarded a.
devoid of sense, but with the upper
cut such deceit is regarded as simpl,
fraud on innocence and confidinl
womanhood.

Oh, No! IT CANNOT BE So.-The

big-head sensations by announcement
that Allen Weir was about to be ap.
pointed Postmaster OF this city. Upon
investigation, however, it was found
that Mr.. Cavanaugh's term will not
expire until January, and when it was
considered that Mr.. Weir lately testi.
fed, under oath, that his professional
business in Seattle was worth 81 1000 q
month, people could very readily see
that should vacancy occur, q man
making $4,000 year from profess
sional fees, would be a fool to substi.
tute for such an ample income a 81, 500

A MIsFIT OF SCRIPTURE.-Mrs. w.
A. White, of Plaza, in this State, has
sent the Spokane Chronicle a number
of familiar quotations from the Bible,
enjoining servants to obey their mas
tiers, as decisive of the labor question
when applied to domestic help. The
language belongs, however, to differ.
ent people and different age. For in
stance, Peter says, Servants, be sub.
ject to your masters with all fear, not
only to the good and gentle but to the
forward"-the tyrannical; advice that
could only be addressed to serfs, wide
distinction from servants. But tn
Christianity is itself to-day vastly diff.
ferent from the teachings and habits
OF the Saviour, who was meek in dis
position and unassuming in character
His temple was the dome of Heaven
and His lecture field the by-ways and
the seashore. He regarded all human
ity as equals, no matter what the apos
ties and scribes may have recorded al
injunctions for life service. Mrs
White will find much difficulty il
applying the musty rules of the clois
ter consistory, through which thu
Scriptures are said to have been fiji
tered, with modern conditions, the re
suit OF civilization. No more effectiv,
way Of bringing sacred things int
contempt can be employed than b!
attempting to impel prescribed dut,
by a scourge OF thongs.

Led to SLAUGHTER.

VI the National STICK Yards, IN St.
Louis they have trained goat which
Lead the sheep TO slaughter. Every
body knows the disposition OF sheep to
follow "A leader, and this trait has been
employed to transfer bands OF sheep
from pens which are at quite Il dis
lance to the packing house. This
formerly required the services of sew
cral men, to get drove of sheep cross
ways and into the butchering pens.
Somebody conceived the idea Of train
ing goat for leader, and the effort
was a complete success, and other
packing-houses have adopted the plan
with the same gratifying result. The
one under consideration is known as
Judas from the fact that he leads
the innocent to suffering. His method
is simplicity itself. When turned loose
i'll band to be led, he looks them
over and passes around among them
to familiarze, or get acquainted with
with them, then saunters through the
gate slowly rs if intent upan seeking
pastures new. The ruse wins. The
sheep follow, slowly at first and finally
closely at his heels, as if fearful OF
losing a guide while adrift in the cold,
cold world. A man and shepherd dog
follow to "bunch" stragglers. In q
few minutes Judas and his following
arrive at the slaughter-pens, and he
steps inside while the gentle lambs
climb over each other to get through
the gateway into what they seem to
regard as the promised land. Then
Judas comes out and leaves them to
their fate, and returns for another fol-
lowing, and will be thus employed
until he becomes old or balky when
probably he will pass over the same
road for the last time and figure as
prime mutton on the butchers block.
Such is life among the lowly.
