Tho manner in which tho peoplo lmvo regarded this cnso from tho vory first in romtirkahlo,iiud now when Judge Dundy hu outraged tho public Interests Htitl inado u farco of' jiiHtiuo by imposing ptltry sontoncu of tlvo years imprison wont on thin colossal scoundrel, there is no very grout dissatisfaction expressed, dice in uwiillosoiun vcuturcsnmocltlzon wekos it tentative statement to tho olTcut that "tho sentence in rathor light," but tht In ulmut an fur us tho iMipulur in, dlgiwtlon gtM. Bo that any serious discussion of tho mutter iu really out of place. It appears from tho Mosher flair that peopto really have no sorioiiB objection to being rohlicd. Ono would almost bo justified in Imagining that they rather liko it. Though u rascal who would bo well placed In tho Mack" Hole of Calcutta, tukes their last cent, thoro is no complaint worth sonking about. And though some buslnofw tlrms re rondorcd bankrupt und many others re loft in unembarrassed condltton.thoro k no thought of rinding fault with him Who ia tho cause of it all. Instead of demands that tho thief bo punlshod, his victims unite l; a touching plea that tho poor man bo turned loose m that ho may joy life. It any wan ia Nebraska haa keener appreciation of a jojeo than Mr. Moaner, Thk Coukirh doesn't know him, and how this precious rascal, this deliberate robber and despoller of homes, aauat now enjoy the contemplation of 4he subject, 'What fool theao mortnU bol" f How he must laugh at tho manner in which he pulled the wool ovor tho eyes of the deluded jdejKwitors! Surely It Is a rare ood joke. And after his luugh Mr. Moshermay well eongratulato himself a his smoothness. Horo are a lot of Men who would almost have boon jus- "tilted in stringing Mosher to u tree, turned into humble suppliants ut tho feet of Justice (?), asking for mercy for he man who ruined them. Under tho pklllful manipulations of Mr. Moahor -and his able attorneys, tho depositors and the people generally have .boon transformed Into puppotB. At tho press- log i of a button the victims beech mercy for their destroyer, or MM MM chant psalms to his holy name. Mr. - ,Hoahr may well laugh long and hearty, for tt la a joke that is a joke. And tho tuauy part of It haa only commenced. ,, While the depositors and stockholders will many of them spend the rest of ; i their days in misery on account of tho V v'rascally operations of Mjsher, tho latter , "will enjoy a brief period of a trllle ovor , three years In a comfortable govornmont . f prison, probably at book-keeping, which ,- '- to Mosher will be fun; and then with his , ,' (600,000 or thereabout that he haa Hlched from tho people, ho will be pro pared to enjoy life in earnest. It waa a , simple business transaction with Mr. Mosher. Ho simply purchased un in dependent fortune of perhaps n half million dollars ut tho cost of two or ' three years imprisonmont. Of course ho t would have, had to pay much dourer for hfe)'plUU(ter had ho not leen ablo to fool tho peoplo. Hut this last was easily done. And tho bank wrecker la moro of a martyr than a criminal. Mr. Moshor did not stop with putting tho doxaitora undor n spell. Ho wont utter tho United Stutce district .attorney und Judgo Dundy, and ono is almost com pelled to believe that theso ollluialn en tered Into a conspiracy to defeat the ends of justice. Tho receiver of tho Capital National bank, Mr. Huydcn, t does not need Mr, Moshor's ussistunco, and Mr. Mosher does not intend to render uny assistanca, any moro than ho intended to put up tlOO.000. It looks i very much as though Mr. Baker and Judge Dundy woro anxious to keep tho . confessed criminal out of tho peniten tiary just as long as possible No won der Mr. Baker called Mr. Haydon stupid". Mr, Hayden'a refusal to call : far Mr. Moshor's assistance will ioesibly have the effect of hustenlug tho latter's Incarceration, and Mr. Baker will bo vary sorry to aee such a good und great bmm as Mr. Mosher tinaMy placed in tho govaranuMtt prison. Mr. Huyden is a ' saightattaoVjuice,; but Mr, Mosher U a -)' aia4h''jBanM and the depositors ' a46U)9M who hare been duped by him ('very fwaVsWpsople, Altogether it ia ' vafjr. -atttewiiaing bit of oomedy- . It atatoat amusing to the Tiir.itr. tiro a thousind tllfforont renio illos prt)Hsed for tho prevailing finan cial disorder. Nearly every man has his own special temedy which, if applied, would make everything lovely, Thoro Is n universal desiro to legislate prosper ity. In this connection a recent remark by Mr. James ,1. Hill, tho well known railroad magnate, is particularly tipro ms. Ilosaldi "If thoro is ono thing moro than another that hns caused theso Joljs It Is tho attempt on tho part of thoso charged with our legislation to tinkor with matters that cannot bo con trolled by legislation. Commercial laws tiro its certain in their operations as tho laws of nature. Tako tho condition of our country today, duo to our financial legislation. If wo could remove tho Sherman not wo would havo what no country can do without; wo would havo coiilldenco. I think tho United States today stands bettor than any other part of tho world for investment. If wo could remove tho ono condition brought alMitit through u want of knowledge on tho part of men who wore resioiisiblo for It, I have no doubt wo would begin an em of prosperity tho like of which wo have never had. You can no more luond a financial or commercial condition by legislation than you can mend a broken limb by statute; and I hopo tho tlmo will como when our people will wo tltat protection of every man in all his natu ral rights will bo tho reasonable limit of our legislation, and when all our com mercial matters will bo governed by commercial law and commercial usages.'' Tan shoos are not so bad, after all. Thoro w.is u tluo whon thoy woro flippant und frivoloiu, and a man In tun shoes could not overcome tho feeling thut ho was a littlo gay. But theso shoos which wore formerly more appen dages of fashion havo ut lust forced their way into gonoral favor. Their good qualities havo compollod recogni tion. Now thoy can bo worn by unybody. Kraknkv wants u Chautauqua lissom bly.

NEW HULES TO (JIVE THE MAJORITY MORE POWER. Hpraker Crlta's IMht Hand Msn-Osnsrsl Catching m m Itulrnishtr Congrcu nan niaad Will Ha llrard Frum later ttlng Ootttp. Special Corrcipondcncc.) Wasiunoton, July IB. As every ono bow know, congress will nsscmblo in special session on Aug, 7. Speaker Crisp will havo no competitors for ro-olectton, and tho sonata being organliod congress should get down to work quickly. Nev ertheless It will not follow the advlc that Colonel Bill Morrison, now passing his closing political career In the quiet berth of an interstate commerco com missioner, says one of his Gorman ad herents named Helm, newly elected to tho Illinois legislature, i;ave his col leagues, "Eglecdt a abonkcr tier first day, eglecdt Bill Morrison senator tlor ekund day. pass tier high license bill dor third! day und go homo.': Then will bo a good many long days bofor? congresi is ready to go homo. Tho first thing lit the house wilt bo the adoption of n codo of rules. Theso pres ent houso rules nro n curious study. Sometimes ono thinks their purpose was to show how to do nothing, but I can havo nothing but admiration for the slickncM with which thoy often work. This latter, howover, is only whon there is no kicking or whon tho majority is enough to rush a bill through on nltor nato Mondays under suspension of tho rules. A groat institution it the suspen rlon rnlo. It is the safety valvo of tho parliamentary stenra chost. Undor it on tho first and third Mondays of each month any member who fortunately gets recognition of the speaker for him self and his littlo bill may bring it to a vote with only 40 minutes consmnod In talk. Ilo needs a two-thirds vote to pass it. Tho Geary Chineso bill got through the house this way, and so did Farmer Hatch's antioption bill, besides numerous appropriation bills. If the silver men delay things too much, this rule may bo Invoked. There is always a protest about de priving the country of the freedom of debato whenever any Important measure is passed under suspension. Neverthe less the suspension rulo will always bo invoked whon the majority want any thing very bad. for It Is too convenient and apt a device to be given up. SrEAK'Rn CRISP. Speaker Crisp docs not U!;e tho prea eut rules of the house. Muny others ajreu with him. They will take advan tage of the demtrnd that congress shill soon relieve tho business world of any uncertainty respecting tho Sherman law to secure a new code of rules. Mr. Crisp has said to me on several occasions that ho thinks more power ought to be lodged in the house to carry out the will of the, majority. Nowadays the road of the fili buster is made too easy. It docs not re quire skill, ability or experience. A cigar store Indian, fitted with a phonograph and aided by 80 or 40 other wooden fig ures able to articulate a few phrases and answer roll calls, could do the business quite aa well. 'AH that is now needed ia to pile up motions to adjourn to some special named day and to take a recess. The chances are that the new rules will bear rme likeness to the celebrated Reed rules, but less power will bo lodged iu the speaker directly. The same thing will be accomplished indirectly by giv ing the majority in the houso the power Mr. Reed vested in the speaker from tho start. Speaker Crisp's lieutenant ia framing the new rules will bo Congressman Catchings of Mississippi, a short, stout man with a lonr rod board. The speak er himself is a practical man, accus tomed to looking at thingH as they are and not as an idealist. Ho i. n Yankee southerner in his mental makeup. His right band man Is even more practical. General Catchings In Chicago would be considered a typical western business man, shrewd, keen at seeing tho practi cal and tho impracticable and ablo to wait so as to have the tide running with and not against him in nuy project ho has at heart. He says tho fault in tho Reed rules lay largely in what bills were passed uudor themand uot in tho rules perse. Iu a drawer at his homo General Catchings has the draft of n code of rules he drew up two years ago with Speaker Crisp's knowledge. There were a good many Democrats about that tlmo who wero sore over the victory of Crisp over Mills, and when it was seen they wero ready to seize a pretext to make trouble Crisp and Catchings quietly withdrew their scheme in tho interest of harmony. Thoy will bo drawn forth again now. The Democrat whom the speaker will have to watch this tlmo will be Mr. Bland of Missouri. He is an old fox at the parliamentary trade. He has been in the house long enough to gain even by ab sorption all the tricks of the rules, He will fight any rule diminishing the power of the minority to wear out the majority. His special aim will be to prevent the BBaldag of any sort of closure rule. C. 0. MeaiLUkT, aVft.MBtsf1 gg9tggga2r' 1 Saiaaabflta?l '"' V ' OFF FOR THE POLE AGAIN. Colonel William II. Ollitar'a Approaehlag Kxiedltlon to ilia Arctic Zona. IHticvlnl Correitiondence. Philadelphia, July 10. It has been talked of privately for somo years thut an expedition would bo aent to tho arctic regions at no distant day to determine tho present position ef the north mag netic polo. Occasionally thoro has been public mention of tho fact, but few of the particulars if any are genorally known. Tho important of locating tho mag netic polo isgonorally understood among scientists. It Is known that its location aT,5T. H fluaflEklV. V ' ilaalSaWBV, i COLONBt, WILLIAM II. OILDER. changes from your to yenr, nnd that tho variations in the mariner's compass, which were first noted by Christopher Columbus on his greatest voyage, do not follow any fixed rule yet known to sci ence. In other words, the magnetic nee dlo points to tho polo truly enough, but not to tho geographical pole. It points to the polo of tho groat magnot, tho earth, and this polo Is constantly changing its place. It is beliovcd that these changes, occurring as they necessarily must in otiedienco to some law, can bo foretold when that law shall como to bo under stood. And as tho only means of learn ing what that law is, it is proposed to establish permanent stations in the vicin ity of tho pole and from time to time tako observations nt these stations which shall show tho lino of theso changes. Such, briefly stated without technical language is tho prbbletn which lias en gaged tho attention of scientists for tome years past. It would be easy to explain tho importance of it in techni calities, but it scarcely seems necessary. Thero aro men to whom the arctic zone Is a field of deslrablo adventure. Lloutenant Schwatka was one. Ho was filled with n desire to lead an expedition in search of the needed information, but his desiro wns never realized. Colo nel William H. Gilder is now enthusi astically working toward tho same end. and unless some unforeseen accidont shall prevent ho will start at the heud of such a party before the end oCthe pres ent summer. Colonel Gilder is in tho prime of life and certainly In physical condition to faco any hurdship. Iu the journey which be took with Schwatka in 1878, 1879 and 1880 in search of the lost records of the Franklin expedition they had no oth er white man with them, but employed tome 80 of the natives in their party. Thoy made the longest stodge journey ever undertaken for scientific purposes and not only visited the site of tho mag netic polo as it was located by Sir James Ross in 1831, but determined tho search, which was the real object of the journey, by proving that tho Franklin records were actually lost. Lieutenant Hobson had found them and had been obliged to leavo them in a cairn near Cape Herschel. There McClintock found them and took them, leaving a record of his own. Gli der and Schwatka found McClintock't record and brought it home, leaving a copy of it, together with their own rec ord, in the same cairn. They also found and buried the remains of some 40 of the earlier explorers along the coast of King William's Land. His second trip was made on the Unit ed States relief expedition on the steam er Rogers, under Captain R. M. Berry. After the Rogers waa burned the entire party waa reduced to the utmost ex tremities, and Glider ttarted on Jan. 1 to cross Siberia alone to get relief. "I left tho party," he said to mo yesterday, "living on frozen, raw, rotten wain meat and sleeping in tho huts of the na tives along shore." No one expected him to survive this venture. He hud official dispatches and his own press dispatches with him, for he represented Tho Herald. His solo com panion was a native trader named Wau ka, and ho was repeatedly warned that Wauka'a motive in taking him on his dog sled was to get' him away from holp and kill him. "I wasn't afruid of his killing me," ho says, "but I was desper ately afraid ho would leavo me, and for 54 days I didn't get a single mlnuto of sound sleep. I would lie down und rest, but I didn't duro to go to sloop." In thoso Si days they traveled 1,800 miles and then reached the first settle ment, where Wuuka lived. Thence with Cossack companions ho pushed on, and after 7,000 miles in all of travel on dog sleds ho reached Irkootsk nnd civilization on July 5. It was an unparalleled feat and fixed his famo forever. Concerning the trip which ho is to un dertake this summer, Colonel Gilder says: "My object Is to establish a per manent station at Repulse bay, tho most northern point or Howe's Welcome, which is the northern arm of Hudson's bay, becauso it is tho nu.ircjt point to the 'pole containing nreu' that la uhvuys ac cessible by wuter during the summer." Although government officers are to go and government instruments aro to bo used, the expedition is a private ono. It is Colonel Gilder's own enterprise, and ho is backed by private subscriptions, which havo already been obtained for him in part by tho Intervention of the National Academy of Sciouces, the American Geographical society and the New York Chamber of Commerce. Like many other promoters, he met with diffi culties -it first, but now has pledg.it of' ample support David A.
