Bismarck is it's plain, common sense,
1t is a straight forward discussion OF

The governor had q real message to
deliver and he gave it in simple and
therefore eloquent language that all
can readily understand and for which
Governor Hanna is noteu.
The message is very complete and
comprehensive: The governor goes
right 70 the heart Of every topic he
touches upon, sives q clear, concise
lew Of the subject under discussion
and then makes a pertinent suggestion
or recommendation that shows that he
has a very clear conception Of the
needs Of the case.
One Of the most valuable suggcs
tons and n upon which The Forum
has already expressed an opinion, is
that recommendation for a uniform
system of accounting for the state
"The state business said MI. H:nna,

should be adopted should be so full and

Iof the SIOUX Indians at the massacre
of the Little Big Horn in 1876, is soon
to receive a nilitary burial beside

where the battle took place.
Conanche was ridden in the battle
by Private Miles Keogh. Two days
later, when relief came, he Was stand
ing on the battlefield, head hanging,
wounded in six places, and every one
a desperate wound. Around him
were dead men and dead horses. At
his feet was his dead master. He was
the only living thing on the battle.

The horse was taken in charge by
other troops of the Seventh cavalry
and nursed back to health. For six
teen years old Comanche was the idol
OF that regiment, then he died and
was buried with full military honors,
q salute being fired over his grave.
The above newspaper clipping was
received by Capt. Grant Marsh OF
this city, from d. A. B. Allen Of Ma
irysville, Mo-, who evidently is &C
quainted with the fame attained by
the Captain in connection with lie
Custer massacre. Captain Marsh has
delivered the item to The Tribune for
two reasons, first as a news item, and
second, for the purpose Of making a
correction in the reference to his old
friend, Colonel Miles Keogh, as "Pri'
%vate." Col. Keogh was next in fank
to General Custer, and inasmuch as
he was an intimate friend of the Cap
tain, it is his desire to call attention
to the error. 80
Captain Marsh, as is we'll known,
brought Reno's wounded soldiers
from the scene of battle on his boat,
and with them the first owe of the
massacre. On this occasion he made

However, in connection with the

- (Leslie's Weekly.)
When, a few weeks ago, Mr.. Taft added
a little over $4,000 fourth-class postnas-
tiers to the classified competitive roll Of
the civil service and a little later 10000
skilled laborers employed in the United
states navy yards. he brought the total
of his work in that direction up to a high
figure. The civil service act was signed
ly President Arthur on January 16, 1888,
near the middle of the Garfield-Arthur
term. Here are the number of positions
placed on the classified roll unde that
law by the various presidents:
Arthur ..lo,0to

Cleveland (sccond term ............3 IS, 1861

Taft Ito October 16, 1922 .......... 81 500
The Taft total includes the 36.3S2 fourth
class postmasters which were classified
under the order of October Is, and the
navy yard employees above referred to.
The figures in the foregoing table indi-
cate the number of positions placed on
the competitive roll at the time of the
classification. but each branch of the

that of Taft recently, has increased great
