His administration was successful. II

for the cliaritablo institutions of the

champion. The state public school ,

his ready and humorous style

THE ! NATIONAL RAILW/

CRAB ORCHARD , Nob. , July 28 ,
Editor He :
Not wishing to reflect upon the gr
intentions of Mr. Burrows , aecroU
of the nUto alliance , I desire to B.YJ
few words in regard to llio pctiti
now being circulated by him , aski
congress to appoint a national railrr
commission , which will have power
rcgulato the freights and tnri
throughout the United States. No
Mr. Editor , I vigorously prot
against this measure , because I do i
believe it will remedy the cxisli
evil ono single particle.
You know , and every intelligent p
son knows that such a comtuissi
composed of a few mnn could bo nit
easily bought for 1'jss money than Ic
islaturcs or congress , and this is ji
what would happen in every en
without ono single exception. I 1
liovo that some railroad Icgialati
it absolutely necessary , but I belie
the state legislature is the place to i
it. I believe that a uniform nyntc
of laws regulating freights and tnri
within the limits of each state nliou
bo adopted by the different logisl
lures throughout the Ui
tnd States and then enforce
But the proposed commission woul
figuratively speaking , bring the mater
tor RO far out of sight of the poop
directly interested , that it would ha1
no otlcct whatever ; and the rniIn
corporations would chuckle thomsolv
hoarse over such a compromise oat hi
For my part I would much rather th
the present plan bo unmolested thr
to squander public money in payii
the salary of this commission , whit
would not , as I Raid before , remci
the existing evil in tlio least.
Yours respectfully ,
W. 0. RKnmui ,
Secretary of Alliance 207

10 failure of our legislature to com-

10 duty and province of the alliance
i formulate the laws they desire to

irsued on a larger ncalo with
regard to national laws. Congn
men and Senators should bo instruct
through conventions , platforms a
legislatures to enact a national tra :
portation cede that will compel t
railway corporations to deal fairly w
their patrons. Such laws properly
forced by severe penalties through t
courts will bo preferable to any rti
road commission.
ANOTHER POSTAL REFOR !
Postmaster General James is tin
ing his attention for the moment aw
from the star route investigation ai
has studied up a scheme for pos
money order reform which hopropoi
tosubmit to congrcssatitsnoxtsossic
Under the present system the sondii
of a money order is attended with
great loss of time and patience. T
sender of a money order
obliged to answer numoro
and needless * questions ai
finally receives a much-writto
upon and stamped receipt nnd ord
to pay , which is of no use to the pt
son to whom it is sent until the po :
master of the paying office has r
coivcd a letter of advisement , ai
then the rmyeo has to give the nan
and address of the person Bonding ai
to satisfy the postmaster that ho istl
person named.
Mr. James proposes to substitu
blanks of two denominations runnti
up to 82.50 and ? 5 , with the numom
stamped in three columns on the
sides. When a sender presents h
money ho will receive a blank wit
the amount , say (5.50 , punched 01
of the throe columns of numerals-
five in the first , five in the second ai :
naught in the third. Ho may pu
cliaso as many of these as ho plcasi
and send them to whom ho likes , wit !
out any references or signing or cout :
tersigning. T/io orders , which wi
cost loss than iivo cents , will be toc
for three months , payable at an
money order ollico in the country.
There is no doubt that such a simplil
cation of the money order system wi
jrcatly increase the number of order
In England , where the people ai
sncouragcd in every way to use tl
wst oflico for the transaction of bus
less , the number of postal money 01
lors greatly exceeds those in our ow
xnmtry. Statistics show that durin
; ho last fiscal year domestic postj
iionoy orders wore sent in the Unite
states numbering seven and a quarte
nilhonsvaluodat$100,000,000avcraj ;
ng'ncarly $14 each , and ono order fo
ivory seven people in the country
Vccording to the English returns fo
.870. the number sent iu the Unite
kingdom was nearly seventeen mil
ions , valued at over § 125,000OOC
.vcraging loss than 87.50 each , am
mo order for every two persons of th
topulation. From this it appears tha
even orders are sent Jn England fo
wo in this country , that the amoun
if each order is about half of whn
iur own are , and yet $25,000 ,
lOO more business was done
Ono cause for the increased use clio

liis country 15 cents on $15 or undo

lie fees are 4 cents for 82.50 am

iriof , the English sender of § 2.51

onts on $15 , while the Amoricai

'HOSE INTERNAL MACHINES
The government seems determined

lie place of their manufacture has
eon discovered to bo Peoria , Illinois ,
ud close upon the report comes tliu
imouncomont ot the nrrost of the
mnufiicturor by order of Attorney-
ioneral MnoYeagh. The shipment
f explosive materials under a false
lamfest is in violation of the ship-
ing laws of the United
tatos and subjects the
msignor to heavy penalties
ron when no intent to destroy lives
r property is shown to exist. In the
resent case it appears that nothing
ut a miracle saved the lives of 200
xssongers. Such a flagrant and out-
iijcoiis offense should bo punished by
10 most severe penalties. But apart
om the violation of the United
tatcs statutes , the manufacture of
raamito machines for the purpose of
war ngaiiujt a foreign state at'
peace with tllo United States , is
grave violation of international la
which our government cannot for

This is the only correct report of the

Colonel S. E. Fink welcomed t

to-day to pay our respects to you.

Wo greet you as the general ai

Gen. Sherman replied as follows :

in this beautiful grove , in this ei
closure , at my own brother's homo ,
am glad to meet you , his neighbor
his friends , The situation is a nevi
ono to me , and I am deeply moved b
it. As I look over you I do not rccoi
nizo the faces that I used to knov
and when riding about your city tt
day I only found some of the names
then know your Hedges , your Pai
kers , and your Purdays ; for the rci
I had to go to your cemetery , ovt
yonder , and read their names on th
tombstones. But you have thoi
still amomg you in their children an
their granelcnildron.
I can not distinguish to-night wh

me say to you , soldiers , I am ver
glad to meet you again after so man

[ vftor us. The dear old flag wo carrie
through tlio storm of many battles
ready to die , if need bo , that it migli

But this is not the time nor th
place to recount the events of th
past. I could not now-do the subjcc
justice if I should try. I am not at
2ustomed to address mixed audiences
My brother hero knows how to d

At tlio conclusion of the general'
omarks , the senator was loudly callei
'or , and responded by the followin ;
ipeech :
MY FKIENUS : This is no time fo

The private soldier who * carried tin
nuskot is entitled to as much hone

ivory private who endured the hard
ihips of the march , or stood picke

iold faced death , shares all the glor

many horrible scenes , but ho is cor
welled to admit that everything 1
haa over seen or investigated herot
fore sinks into utter insigmfican
when compared with the terrible fa
of the late Mr. Pugh.
SHOCKING TOUTUUE.
Some of the details are so disgus
ing that they are absolutely unfit fi
publication , or oven to bo talkc
about by the most hardened wrote !
It is impossible to imagine how an ;
body , oven a savage of the wildes
most blood-thirty kind , could conceit
of such tortures as was visited upo
the victim of the cowardly , murdc
cms Apaches. Had ho been their mo :
liatcu foe suddenly fallen within the
power , Ihoy could not have devise
more cruel and sickening troatincn
I wont to the place where the ataj
waajstoppod and whom young Pughjwi
captured. There were with mo son
of the party who had found the your
man's body , ami they took mo ovi
the trail that led mo to the spot whci
the murder was committed. This W !
two miles from the scene of capturi
Every five hundred yards or so thei
ircro imprints in the roundof a man
knees , and the guides explained th :
it these intervals the prisoner hn
milk down from exhaustion and to in
ploro his savage captors to spare hi
life , or to put him out of misery I
killing him. If ho pleaded for life t
first ho begged as hard for death i
last , for over the last milo of the tra
was sprinkled n copious stream (
ulood , and the scqual showed that tli
[ ndians had committed such a
itrocioua outrage upon their prisone
; hat no man thus mutilated could hop
> r wish to live a minute after.
THE SWOLLEN 1SODY.
The body was found by the Mnxica
loldiors on the day succeeding th
nurdor. It1 was swollen to prodisjiou
iroportions , and an examination re
aled the sickening extent of the mu
.ilation by the dastardly cowards
Ifounjt Pugh liad been emasculated i :
, ho most complete manner that sue
i frightful operation could bo perform
id. It was while suffering from sue !
Barbarous torture that the demons
iis copters , had forced him to wall
wer a milo. When ho could no Ion
; or drag himself along , the bruta
Vpaches filled his body with bullet
md left him to rot.
"When the Mexican soldiers founi
; ho corpse'they dug n hole with thei
jaypnets , the only tools they had , am
> uricd the swollen , distorted remain
ia best they coulel. Returning thi
icxt day , the Mexicans discoverei
hat the coyotes had dug up the bodi "
md had stripped it of the greate"
lortion of the flesh. The soldien
igain made a grave and interred tin
'emains ' in a decent and safe manner
.ftor which a stone and a cross wen
ilaced in position to mark the grave
OTUKU OUTHAOES.
Tlio Indians who committed thi
intrago wore supposed to bo good In
liana , and were out of their own bail !
dck on a special leave , from the gov
rnmejit to hunt. They seem to havi
aken it for gianted that they wen
icensed to hunt human beings , ane
o murder in cold blood all they foune
mprotected. A couple of weeks prioi
0 the murder of young Pugh the same
; ang of cut-throats captured a partj
if emigrants among whom were six
romcn. The hell-hounds violatee
ho persons of the women in tlio most
iondish manner , after which thoj
lung them up by the heoli. Thoj
hen sccureet red-hot Hitch-pins fron :
ho ashes of the wagons they line ]
lurned , with which the monsters tor-
urcd the women to death.
The United States government
light make a mistake of one or two
ndians if she were to exterminate the
rholo Apache nation , but it is though !
y some very humane people that it
1 time that the government should
ary its mistakes by making the ono
'
roposod.
