Mus. Mary Flack, wife of Jim-s
A. Flack. SliernT of the county and c;'.y
of New York, was a short time aj;o
divorced from her husband. Last ILn
day on her petition to the court, setting
forth the facts that she Lad never ap
plied for a divorce and Uenjamia
Wright, who was ostensibly her lawyer
in the divorce proceedings, made sf3 ia
vit that he was induced to act as Mrs.
Flack's attorney by Joseph Meks, who
i'lescntea niu w!th an authorizitioo to
Act as Mrs. Flacks attorney si?ned by
Judge Monell counsel for Sheriff Flack,
the decree of divorce was annulled.
The whole proceedings seem to have
been a conspiracy on the part of Sheriff
Flack to secure for his wife a divorce
which she dil not want aud discloses a
remarkably piece of fraud practiced
upon tbe court.
At tbe meeting of tbe Democratic
County Committee on Monday, it was
decided to hold another election through
out the eouny and the committee fixed
upon Sa'urday. August 21.h, as the day
for holding said election. William
Stigerwald, tbe candidate for Coroner
on the ticket, perished la the flood and
tbe name of Fetsr McGougb. of Por
tage, was suggested and placed ou tbe
ticket with the unde istaod'ng that if
any Democrat who co replies with the
rules, wants to have his name placed
on tbe ticket for that oflice he cou!J do
sVup until Stturdiy.the 17th in St., when
the tickets will be printed. The returns
from a few dis'ricts that held e'.ections
on the 31st of May were destroyed with
out beinr opoced.
For once th holding of the Demo
cratic primarv ejections occur about tbe
right time, and ia the fuiure we trust
the Democracy will see the advisability
of holding the primaries about the last
of August instead of the last of May.
It will 6horten the campaign, will le.-sen
the expense of onr candidates and give
the opposition less time to hatch out
schemes for their defeat The last of
September would be better still.
This Is one way of doing it : ''The
S Joseph Reunite Companv. bos been

be borne in mind that the agreement
just completed only provides for open

this great reserve. Six smaller reserves
for Indian occupancy are carvtd out of
it, with an agerega'e area of 20.000
square mile9. TLey contain land sufli
cient to give an average of over 5(iO
acres per ci':t to the Indians entitled
to them. Under the law the President
is required, whenever he shall deem it
to the best interests of any tribe, to
cause its reservation to be autveyed. and
to allot tLe lands in sev -raliiy,- giTirig
320 acres to each head of a family. ltX)
acres to each singie person over eighteen
years old, the same to each orphan un
der age and 80 acres to each other tier
son. Lands remaining over and above
this aiolment are to be acquired by pur
chase only with the coasent of the In
dians, and the sums to be paid must be
held in treasury, bearing 5 per cent, in
terest, for the benefit of the Indians
themselves. The bill also makes fur
ther proviaion for the Indians, in sup
plying those who take up land in sever
ally with cattle seeds, farming outfits
and ;5ucash in band. Proviaion is also
made for their education. The govern
ment also pays f 14.OUO.000 for the laud
acquired, or at the rate of fl..r,2 per

to be provided for cut of the 5 per cent,

on this feature, "that the
great fi.ttd3 now being created, whose
income is to be devoted to the uses of
of the Indian, will oue dsy prove al

Lnlackily that is anything but clear.
The closure of the sea Is in no way
necessary to the protection of the soals
f.oni extermination, but is necessary to
the protection of the monopoly of seal
fishing uow enjoyed ly a single corpo
rate companv ty virtue of a grant from
the United Spates, of which that com
pany expects to secure au early renewal.
Our Government new unjustly forbids
any American citlz.n to kill s-als iu
Alaska without a licence from this mo.
nopolistic concern, and Mr. Biailiesetks
to make this mouopolv complete by for
bidding for ianeis to kill seals or catch
fish in any part of a vast ocean area.
The only apparent purpose of the at
tempt to cloee the sea is to promote the
interest of this powerful toonopolv
whose members feed fat upon their un
just exactions. And for that improper
purpose Mr. Blaine, who on one mem
orable occasion declared that Le was
never a deadhead in aDy enterprise,
risks the embroilment of this country
with its neighbors by atte-nptinj to
close Behriog Sea, the claim of right to
do so resting upon tbe contention that
with Alaska we bought Russia's exclui
sive jurisdiction over the whole of that
part of the ocean.
But did Russia ever have anv such
exclusive jurisdiction over the sea ?
Not only bave other nations always de
nied it, but th- United States emphat
ically resented tbe claim so long as Rus
sia held Alaska. It was never set up
by our Government until a monopolistic
corporation saw in it a means of driving
its rivals out of business and consoli
datiiitr its owu exclusive control of the
sealskin market.
Does that fact Bugget the "true in
wardness" of Mr. Blaine's risky and
doubtfully rightful policy. JY. Y.

Wade's Fibre and Fabric, a protec
tionist organ of note, has come out for
tree wool, la an able editorial in a late
Issue It, among other things, says :
"The history of the past 50 years proves
that prices for our home crown cl id have
never been improved by ir creased duties
upon the improved raw material ; that tba
euecs nas oeen ro curtail the demand from
our own nitlls, the only customers they can
possibly bave under the adjustment of du
ties ngw in force.
The rresent tariff Is not only unjust In
Its distinctions and retrietions, but practi
cally is prohibitory on a large portion of tbe
nitKt desirable wools which are available to
cur foreign competitors free from tax. It
Is protective to the European manufacturer,
and only ia came to the home wool grow
ers."
