'The voter' of "Dutchess county,
N. Y., had their opportunity Tues
day to pass, judgment on the demo
cratic party's action in stealing the
seat of Sentor Deane and they ,did
it by turning out the democratic
supervisors - anp electing republi
can in their place. v ;
In a republican form of govern
ment it is difficult to get away
from this highest court of the .peo
ple. ..Dave Hill captured .the New
York legislature by stealing several
seats . which belonged .'to .republi
cans. That'theft has enabled . hiin
to take snap judgmept on his own
party and take a new and partisan
census of the state, t but in every
country where he stole seats in the
legislature and robbed the people
of their reputation he has been re
buked by having his agents in the
boards of supervisors defeatedin the
recent elections. It is a waring to
Hill . and the democratic party.
They can not defeat the will of the
people for long, and in the theft last
fall Hill but exposed his hand and
ahow that his political methods are
those of men who have in the past
been punished by imprisonment
rather than rewarded with office.
NEW PROOFS OF THE BENEFITS
THE M'KINLEY LAW.
A correspondent from Buffalo
write as follows of the effect of the
McKinley law on one industry in
that city:
I called this week at the Tift Iron
Works, this city, where are manu
factured engines, boilers, and ma
chinery of various kinds on an ex
tensive scale but almost exclusively
for the home market.
.Mr. Charles L. Whiting, who is
the manager of the works, said that
they were up to their eyes in busi
ness, running every department in
full blast at the present time. In
answer to the question as to what
the effect of the recent tariff legis
lation has been on their business,
he said there could be no doubt
that it was on the whole very bene
ficial. Among the things that
pointed that way were the present
prosperous condition of business, in
eluding the bright outlook for the
the future, and the numerous in
quiries forfprice list, etc., coming
daily from foreign countries, South
America in particular.
He thought that the increasing
demand for their goods from South
America was largely due to the re
ciprocity clause of the McKinley
law, which gave us a great advan
tage in Southern hemisphere would
soon be a vast and rich market for
the products of the American fac
tory. . .
Mr. Whiting further added: "That
in his dealings and other observa
tion in business he. has heard no
criticsms of the new tariff law either
from friend or foe of protection, and
business men generally who are op
posed to protection on general
principles would be opposed at
this time to any to any revision of
the tariff."
HOW OUR ROADS MAY BE IM
PROVED. I would have each state by a leg
islative enactment do at once two
or three things in the direction of
his movement, viz.: procure and
disseminate information by estab.
lishing a bureau where tne facts
relating to the expense, mechanical
construction, care, durability, use
and extent of the different kinds of
roads shall be known and ascer
tained; than I would have some
kind of state supervision and
advisory assistance by a comptent
engineer and engineers appointed
by ; the state in aid of road and
bridge building and reparing upon
scientific principles and upon a
comprehensive and econmical plan
for the whole state; thirdly, I would
have the state either own or control
and maintain some through high
ways, connecting the' principal
towns in the state, and connecting
these with the principal towns of
neighboring states, where they are
most needed, either for great public
exigencies or for the great general
use. The state would thus promote
the equealization and the general
reduction of expense of construction
and maintenance of these main
roads, and would give a profitably
example and a strong incentive to
the adjunct towns to construct bet
ter contributory roads as feeders to
the main ones. I would have the
state divide the expenses of this
scheme of road betterment in the
tax levy, so that part of it should
be apportioned to the whole state,
part to the counties through which
the roads ran, and part to the towns-
And, further, I would h.-ive this tax
levy kept small and the investment
adequate and quickly made by the
business man's method of borrow
ing the money on long loans. It
would thus be easily paid out of the
profits by those shnring them.
MILITARY OFFICERS AS INDIAN
AGENTS.
The action of the house in pas
sing an amendment to the Indian
appropriatation bill providing that
the president may detail officers of
the army to act as Indian agents
whenever vacrncies occur is , a
move in the right direction. There
can be no dispute about the need
of improvement in . the Indian
service, and experience has proved
that -the substitution of soldier for
civilians is calculated to produce
such an effect. It would hardly be
proper to say that army officers are
always more honest and capable
than any other men; but it may
fairly be claimed that their training
particularly fits them for the
management of Indian agencies
They go about the work in a
practical instead of a sentimental
way, and all the details are careful
ly and systematically adjusted.
Their methods tend to ' lessen
causes of complain, and to prevent
outbreaks, and in that respect they
are much preferable to the pro
cesses usually adopted by the In
dian agents appointed from civil
life. In more than one case the
inefficiency of the latter has
led to war. The government has
been put to heavy expense from
time to time by the blunders and
rascalities of such officials, and
fair dealing with the Indians would
unquestionably be promoted by
turning the business over entirely
to the military authorities.
There is a point still in the
case, and that .is the fact that the
Indians have a profound respect
for military officers, and compara
tively little or none at all for civil
ones. This is simply saying that
the Indian is so constituted that he
scorns peaceful and persuasive
ideas and appliances, and believe
only in force. He can not be suc
cessfully goerned except through
his sense of personal fear. When
he is coaxed and petted, he takes
advantage of those who trust him,
and despises them for what he inter
prets to be their weakness. But
when he is confronted bj a man in
the uniform of the army, he real
izes that he must conduct himself
properly, or he will be punished
The army has the meaning to him
of a power that can not be trifled
with, and he submits to the author,
ity of its officers without protest
or resistance. This is well under,
stood by those who are actually ac
quainted with the Indians, but it
has never been recognized by those
who have had policy 1 The .theory
of controlling and civilizing these
peculiar people by mild and tempo
rizing means is fundamentally and
wholly wrong. It is only by a
manifestation f force that the In
dian nature can be affected in any
positive and satisfactory degree.
The officers af the army are just
the men, therefore, to have charge
of the work which has been poorly
done in the past by civil officials
They will be respected and obeyed,
and their influence will be on the
side of peace at all times and in the
insterest of justice and honesty
The existing policy does not answer
the purpose, and it should . be
changed as soon as possible, what
ever the sentimentalists may say to
the contrary. Globe Democrat.

MENDING THE MAIL POUCHES.
How Unci Sam's Mall Biipn Are KepuU
d 2iO,uOO Lock Kenewril.
Once in eight years all the locks on
United States mail bags must le
changed, if not oftener. This is he
cause after while a g il many lost
keys get around, and tU y are not very
safe to have so distributed. Just now
the Equipment Division of the Post
office Department is making over 25 ,
000 old looks, merely for the purpose
of rendering them different.
At first it was suggested that all
these 25 ),0)0 locks should be thrown
away. The junk men were asked how
much they would give for them and
they said 20 cents a hundred pounds.
This did not seem very large, inas
much as the postoflice had originally
paid 57 cents apiece for the looks.
Therefore it was concluded to make
them over again, and this is being
done now at the repair shop on C
street, at a cost of 6 3-4 cents per lock.
It is a very pretty sight to see the
workmen cut the old contrivances
apart, polish them up on rapidly-revolving
grindstones, which give out
showers of sparks, reorganizing the
tumblers, and putting together the
I)ieces into as good shape as the new
amps which the magtvian in the story
of Aladdin exchanged for old ones.'
These' locks, as has been said, are to
secure mail bags, but ven more inter
esting are mail bags themselves and
their histories. Naturally, in the
course of human events, these recepta
cles wear out now and then. This be
ing regarded as inevitable, in farmer
times they were turned over promptly
to the junk men. Now. however. it is
all very different. According to the
regulations, as fast a ' the bags show
symptoms of wearing out they are for
warded to Washington from all over
the United States. Thus one finds in
the equipment shop on C street great
rooms heaped with enormous stacks of
mail sacks in all stages of use, decay,
and, one might almost say, of decom
position. : Upon arrival they are conveyed by a
big elevator to the third floor, where
110 women sit sewing with coarse
thread. The bags are made of jute.
Some of the women wear dunce-caps
of brown paper on their heads, and all
are busy as so many bees. They are
all sewing upon mail sacks, and when
ever one nas finished her task she holds
up her hand. At once the foreman
in charge goes to her, takes the bag
she has finished, and lajs it on a pile
In exchange, he gives her another,
which he takes from a stack near by.
The sacks in the latter pile are in all
stages of delapidation, and the rule is
that each worker must take the one
that is on top., A wooden partition
shuts off the women from sight of the
pile, because some complained a while
ago that it was possible for others to
See when there were good sacks on top,
and so escape bad ones. It is like the
system of "takes" in a newspaper office.
Thus far only the jute bags have
been spoken of. But there is another
room in which the leather mail pouches
are mended, twenty-two workmen be
ing employed for the purpose. This
system has grown up within the last
four years. So short a time ago only
eight women and three leather work
ers were employed to do the work.
But it is believed that a great economy
afculd result from devoting attention to
the mending of old sacks, and this has
proved so far true that many thousand
fewer bags are made annually now
than were required in 1887, although
the postoflice business has increased
one-quarter since then. The bags are
manufactured in New York State.
When the mending of each bag is
finished it is inspected by a man who
is the only person in the United States
with whom the decision lies as to when
a mail sack is worn out and shall be
used no longer. Condemned ones are
all used in one fashion or another. The
best parts of them are used for the
bottoms of sacks that hare to be re.
paired, while other portions serve for
patches, the ragged bits being slashed
off with sharp knives. Washington
