The resolution presented by Repre-
sentative Bankhead (Dem., Ala.).

the debated sections.

tons committee, just before the reso-
luton was brought up, told newspa-
permen provisions of the economy act

ANSWERS LANCER SPEECH
Taylor, N. D.,
Dec. 3, 1882.

ANSWERS LANCER SPEECH
Taylor. N. D.,
Dec. 3, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
I am going to answer Mr.. hangers
speech, which he made recently in
Dickinson, If you care to put it in
your paper.
In answer to the governor elects
speech, will say that it does him no
credit, and the same holds true of the
speech made by Frank Vogel.
The latter said he would rather
live IN Soviet Russia than in Taylor.
Well, I believe there are lot of peo-
pie who wish he was there.
1t seems to me we will be in Soviet
Russia II Mr.. LANCER has the power
to carry out his threats. It is sup
posed that people have q right to vote
as they see fit. If Mr.. Lefor Is so well
qualified and so honest why did he
not carry his own precinct, where he
has lived nearly all his life. He lost
IN his own precinct the same as Mr..
LANCER did in his.
Mr.. Cain has the honesty and quail
1fications to act as state senator and
I am sure will do all in his power for
the people of the state.
Mr.. LANCER calls MIR. Leutz Gear of
Taylor. MIR. Leutz is one of the best
men for his position the state has ever
had. I am sure he has never recon-
mended a loan to the state In excess
OF value and as collector he has the
experience and I am sure would use
good, common Judgment. I am sure
he would not take $4,000 from a widow
and give nothing in return.
1t seems it is up to a governor to
do everything in his power to help the
advancement Of the state instead of
wanting to tear 1t to pieces because
people did not vote to suit him. Let
us hope Mr.. LANCER will get down to
some semblance of common sense and
act like a governor should act.

Claim Christmas
Should Be April 6

Did the Christmas star shine on
Bethlehem Dec. IS, or was 1t
April 6?
The Latter Day Saints church,
with some three quarters of a
million adherents over the world,
teaches it occurred on the latter
date, and declares that fact was
shown to Joseph Smith, its found
er, by divine revelation.
Further, on that Christmas
night Of April there was no
darkness from sunset to sunrise in
the western hemisphere, the book
OF Mormon narrateS.
Despite this disagreement, the
thousands of "Mormons'' in this
state observe Christmas on the
traditional date although there Is
no very great emphasis put upon
it in their church services.

Sword Carried by General Custer
DURING INDIAN CAMPAIGNS
Object of Contest in S. D. Court

Chamberlain. s. D., Dec. 13.-(F-
A slender, glittering blade Of stee
which once hung at General George
Armstrong Clusters. side is the object
Of a contest in circuit court here.
]. Contesting for possession OF the
treasured blade are Fred Than
youthful Mitchell lawyer, who claims
to have found it In boyhood days
and G. H. Zeitner, Kimball farmer
with a flair for collecting antiques.
Identity Of the sword was deter
mined recently through correspond
ence with an aged blade-maker in
Germany, who declared 1t was made
by him for General Custer before he
began his campaigns against Indians
in Dakota Territory.
Found Near Kimball
Than, who seeks to recover the
blade, tells an interesting story OF
how he found and later lost the
sword. About Is years ago he and a
boy friend were riding horseback near
Kimball. They noticed a chain pro-
truding from the ground and stopped
to investigate.
Unable to pull the chain free they
obtained a shovel and began to dig.
Their reward was the sword.
Immediately the weapon became a
priced plaything. It was loaned for
use in home talent plays and finally
relegated to the attic in the Than
home and forgotten.
Two years ago it came into the
possession of Zeitner, who says he
purchased it from two strangers pass
ing through Kimball. Zeitner wrote
to Germany to trace the record of the
blade. Then came the answer that
the sword had been made for Gen.
eral Custer.
Tinan Became Curious
On hearing of the Identification IT.
nan became curious. He visited Zeit-
ner and satisfied himself the sword
was the one he dug up from the
prairies and cherished in boyhood.
Than seeks to recover the sword
which Is in the custody OF the court
and kept in bank vault.
Considerable conjecture has been
raised as to how the sword came to be
buried beneath the prairie sod.
Perhaps the sword was lost In the
grass as the general and his COM
mand moved toward the Black Hills.
Or it may have been that the sword
could have been placed on a supply
wagon and the chain wrapped around
it to prevent bounding out. Through
careiessness it could have been lost
from the wagon.
Another guess Is that the sword
may have come into the possession o!
an Indian, who in turn buried it fol
safekeeping.

STATISTIC[AN SAYS

Says Business Recovery Will Be
= Conditioned BY Govern

Cleveland, Dec. 13.-(R-Business

Cleveland, Dec. 13.-(R)eBusiness
recovery twill be conditioned to an
unexampled degree" by what hap
pens in Washington the coming year,
Col. Leonard p. Ayres, vice president
of the Cleveland Trust company and
nationally recognized statistician,
said Tuesday.
Col. Ayres, In his annual address
before the Chamber Of Commerce on
the business outlook, asserted that
unlike any previous depression, the
present economic situation "is not
likely to be automatically self-cur-
ing"
THE problem Of trying to forecast
the business developments Of 1888 is
one that involves in large measure
the attempts to guess or estimate the
degree to which the policies Of the
new administration at Washington
will be formulated with wisdom and
its actions guided by sagacity. It is
quite literally problem of political
economy rather than one Of business
economies"
For that reason, he said, 1t is i'm
possible to make the customary year.
ly business predictions except in q
few cases. He hazarded probabili-
ties Of: Lower industrial wage rates,
lower cost Of living, greater num-
Der Of commercial failures, less divi-
dend payments and interest rates on
commercial paper, and an output of
trucks and cars in the United States
and Canada of between 1,250,OO0 and
100000.
There are two alternatives ahead,
he Said-inflation or adjustments
necessary for resumption of nor
NAL business at lower prices" It
is prudent to expect" he said, "that
the long, hard grind Of sound money
will be chosen.
I'm that event, 1888 probably will
prove to be another year of depres-
sion during which hating and ir-
regular progress will be slowly
achieved in the building of founda-
tions for recovery.
If the alternative course of at
tempting to lift price levels by in
flation should be chosen, the at
tempt would In all probability fail
and the subsequent events prove dis
astrous.
Developments since the election
have been disquieting rather than
reassuring," he said.
Calling attention to the decline of
the British pound to its lowest level
in history following opposition to an
extension OF the moratorium on war
debts he commented I'VE are engaged
in making our troubles worse"
Some 20 business depressions in
this country since 1870 have cured
themselves, Ayres said, but two new
conditions-the lack Of great, ex-
banding industries and the shrink
age of our export trade-indicate
that this time our economic diff
culties are not likely to prove to be
automatically self-curing."

ling Of intoxicating liquors should be
