on his person. In another pocket he
had 81 bill. AS he was getting back
into Kansas the stage was held up

THE BLAME is PLACED
ON THE VOLUNTEERS
Troubles in the Camps Last
Summer Caused by Guards
men Directing to the Real
Orudgery Work.
10y Mrs. John A, LOGAN,

Washington, Oct 3O.-It is unfortu
nate that friction should have been thc
result of the encampment Of the Ma
tional Guard and Regulars together the
past summer, especially on the Pacific
slope. The causes are undefinable
but principally were from the disincli
nation Of the National Guard to con-
form to discipline and do the real
drudgery Of a camp.
In California the feeling between thu
Regulars and the National Guard
reached an acute stage. At a recen,
gathering resolutions were suggested
to repeal the law in regard to annual
encampments Of this character. Luck
lily, 1t was subsequently withdrawn, but
the feeling was not changed.
As to censeription.
General Chaffee. retired. officer OF
the army, made a speech In which he
uttered some very astounding senti-
ments touching upon the approac hing
necessity OF having conscriptions in

ratio of native population is very much
depleted by the enormous number OF
foreigners. who have monopolized the

as did the natives of other days.
In speaking OF this matter a few days
ago. another officer said he though,
that General Chaffee was in advance

The probabilities are that many OF
the assertions and difficulties with

BALLINGER AGAIN

The Ballinger incident is not closed
Despite the letter of President Tai.
anent the status quo of his relations to
the Secretary Of the Interior and the
Spokane speech, there has remained a
lingering doubt in the minds of the
American people as to the exact posi-.
tion of the administration on conserva-
tion. And the feeling has grown tina.
though the president is honest in his
belief about the secretary that he has
been wilfully misled about the matter
by those behind the veil.
And the people will be apt to agree
with the questioning of Golfers:
who also misled him on the rel
alive amount of the land with
drawn by Garfield and that with
drawn by Ballinger after he was
compelled to do exactly what he
said was illegal when Garfield did
1t! The smallness of the trick
by which these amounts were led
to seem so Indifferent is so fla
grant as to be almost incredible.
Garfield withdrew all of certain
areas. excepting any tracts the
title to which has passed out of
the United States.' which, of
course. he could not withdraw. and
never attempted to withdraw.
Ballinger was compelled TO with
draw almost precisely the same
tracts. only he described them in
different manner, and he, or
whoever wrote the Taft letter. tried
to make the public believe he had
withdrawn vastly smaller area

17a cents per hour, with piece work
opportunities increasing these wages
to $1,000 guarantee, to $4,000 per
week; that machinists receive 30
cents per hour. except one new man
at % cents.
We further find. after freely talking
with Mr.. Reid's employees. that there
is no ground for the charge of harsh
treatment towards them: but that on
the contrary he has uniformly treated
them kindly and they have no fault to
find with him on that or any other
account. They are well satisfied and
