Vht! shan't Indianapolis have a half, holiday oa Saturday? It rests with her business mea. If there were any reasons Sgainrt it in the demand of business, or the efficiency of service, we should not urge il. We know of none, and believe there are none. Employers would lose nothing. As much business would be done if employes Were granted that half day holiday as is now dons when they are ooped np till six in the sveniog, andsoxnetitnes till Ua attugbt, And actually the ret and refreshment which this lialf holiihty w.uj give wouW enable the employe to render ter aerrice at other time.

It is not a question of anyVjdy's "sen It is a question simply of law, and those saloon kcejicrs thus banded are simply lawbreakers, and are entitled to no more consideration than an association of thievw or burglars or a mob bent on murder. who objects t' a Saturday half holiday for storei employes because the workingmen whose ten hours a day so con fines them week that the two hours on Saturday afternoon is all that they have for their weekly purchases', will thus be cut off from that opjiortuiiity, writes sincerely and forcibly but his point i not well taken. Conceding everything that is claimed for 'it. it doesn't constitute good jnuse why there should be no Saturday half holiday.

They who have only to hours of a Saturday afternoon for shopping are an extremely part of any community and is koine what selfish to ask an army of hard working employes tq forego achancefor a brent li ofairon fhe Sfatnrday afternoon of a sumrfier simply to accoiumoilute these few. Besides "Mechanic" should rcmcmljec thut the ltalf holiday is proposed only for three months in the summer. The other nine nionths'in the year the employes are nt work fllr his and 'other convenience. The great mass of the life of the people in any com iu unity can, as well as not, do1 without open stores on Saturday afternoon. The comparative few to hom they would lie a convenience ought certainly not to ask tha't the many shall forego ret to accommodate them.

Let "Mechanic" thhik of it this way. Pos he demand thnt his fellow tncn 'and women who work in the trades in all capacities (and they constitute the vast majority of workers) shall have no rest at all 'in order that be, "Mechanic," may go shopping ou the two hours of Saturday afternoon which he reats? That is what his dciifand is. He says no one'else must have a Saturday half holiday because he has one. (We have used the word holiday to signifyatimeofccHsatiou from work.) Weare sure "Mechanic" would not all persist in such demand. We sure be Would willingly lef the other (n'emliers of the family lay in weekly supplies at.

another time, and not demand that all trade shall go on until ins, leisure two nours comes and then work to satisfy his inclinations. We expect "Mechanjc" to join hn nils in helping his fellow workers, to work fewer hours. In noway can he so quickly bring the recognition of "eight hours a day" for himself which he desires. THE TlMKS says that Congress has no power to prescribe the mode of trial for an "infamous crime," so i far as its proceeding by indictinviit or Tnfpnuatioa is concerned, as tire national ContVliition provides that "no vers3.i enh be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, except in a presentment br imlictmcnt by a grand iury," except in cases in the military or naval service. 'It asreed with The News that it would be a pood thing if Congress could so regulate criminal proceedings as to put' the obstructions of justice arising from the difference between information and indictment Out of the way, bnt the constitutional provision the fifth of the amendments prevents it.

The limitation, however, does not prevent Congress from declaring what an "infamous crime" is and thus taking from nnder constitutional shelter a class of offenses that are now ''infamous" or not as judges happen to think. In the very cases that suggested the remarks of The News the Chicago election fraud Judge Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the United Suites, differed from Judge Greshain as to the technical character of the offense, holding that it was not such as: the Constitution required to be prosecuted on indictment. It is not material to our argument that tlie general construction of courts, r.nd the probably prevailing opinion of the national Supreme Cr urt, is that imprisonment at hard labor makes the 'offense "infamous." Xo matter what courts have held or may hold, the power may define an "infamous crime" aud its punishment as it deems best. Congress may make such cases as the democratic fraud in Chicago "infamous," or not, and authorize other prosecutions by cither information or indictment. Without any legislative definition at all Judge Harlan held that the election frauds were not within the constitutional limitation, and aot "infamous" enough to need an indictment to be properly punished.

In this state of doubt, there is certainly "awide atid in viting opportunity forCougre.V to put but of the way one more cause of the delay or defeat of justice, by an authoritative definition of the crimes that may be "proceeded against1 in either mode. As the Constitution' exnressly names "capital crimes, no legislative power can make theni otherwise than "infauious" or legalize their proseeu tian Otherwise thau by indictment, but the infamyof other offenses is a matter of judicial construction or legislative definition, and there is nothfng to prevent Congress from declaring that none but capital crimes shall be berealter "lutamous. 1 lie Consli tution does not in the lea stand in the way of the amelioration of criminal law that we suggesti u. i. i i A Shriek for It is sometimes instructive to see ha extravagance into, which an idea may rail by an intellect so couitutcd as to receive hut one idea' at lime, and to retain that aiiH brood over it till it nustets alj feeling as well as all mental action.

THej alcalde prot eedcd to put thetu imssessidii, "which he did according to the approved Span ish fushion, taking them upon the land and causing them to walk to niid fro upon it, pulling herbage, casting earth into the uir and proclaiming aloud to the coyotes and juck rubbits that they were Jords of the soil. The aide then retired to his adobe and uade a record of his loinc. This record is the foundation e1' The alcalde, made no survey, simoly designated certaih streams, juiitains and mesas as indicating the limits approximating the eleven league limit as well as he could. Siguor Miranda had a fair daughter.

He gave her in marriage to one MaxVell, whos name wojild that he was not a. Mexican. Signor or Mr. Maxwell entered upon the land, aud v. lieu settlers oume into 'the neighborhood he was' tvont to point out his northern boundary line and assure the ranchmen who located outside of his lines that they would never be dijturbed.j It did not occur to the original grantees thut they had more than the eleven leagues allowed by.

law. But certain schemers saw great possibilities 'in' this grant. 'They conceived the idea that its boundaries might tie stretched so as to include abont 2,000,000 "acres of land, aud drive hundreds of settlers from the homes they were occupying as pre emption and homestead claimants under the law. They bought Maxwell's interest, formed a cor oralion, lured able lawyers and inllucnti lonoyists ami began operat ions at ashingtou; The grant was cohfirmcl by Congress, but there had been uo survey ajuUiio patent issued. For btiCicicut rensonlhe swindlers 'procuri two meinliersof the.

Elkins family to make the survevMUl procure the patent. John did the surveying in New Mexico and Stephen assisted, iu the thimbie rigging in the Laud fiHe at Washington. Bcaubicu Mirauda grant was for a hundred thoti ind more or less in Colfax county, New Mexico a good gaxden patch for raising beets, as was represented in the for the grant. When Stephen B. Elkins's brother John, had surveyed it, it had grown to the proportions of a smaii empire, running over into the State of Colorado and covering at least one million acres of land that neither Beaubien.

Miranda or Maxwell ever dreamed of owning. Now it is claimed khat certain wicked Mexicans deceived Mr. Elkins's brother John, and induced him to run the lines of the survey where he did, without knowing that he was including within it over, a million acres of government land, much of which had been surveyed, platted and taken up by settlers. Mr. Stephen B.

Elkins's brother John was no fool. He was not He was a rascal, as I shall now show. Kirkwood, when Secretary of the Interior, investigated this case, and in a letter to the Attorney General recommending the bringing of a suit to cancel the patent which Mr. Stephen B. Elkins as attorney proceeded to issue, speaks of the survey us follows: 'The testimony of the witnesses who profess to have identified and pointed out the calls of pos i stolon Is in the highest degree looe and coutra i dictory, liesides lemp nieaxer aud unsupported.

Other and manliest i'lcotisisteticies appear unexplained in the uapcrs relating to all the bounds' rics which should have demanded the rictot scrutiny before the approval of the survey. I deem it proper' to state thut the cords of the Leneral Laud Office show that nearly all the tow nships traversed by the located northern line ol the Kraut in Colorado had been surveyed and the plats hied long before the survey of the grant.

On the 13th of April Mr. Foster, a ranchman, wrote to the Secretary of the Interior, asking that the settlers might have an opportunity to show th'at the survey was fraudulent.

Stephen B. Elkins put in his our.for a small connder ation, to induce the' department to issue a patent according to the bogus survey made by his brother John. Meanwhile the settlers were preparing the proofs to show the fraud in the survey and Mr. Fisher wrote another letter to the Secretary of the Interior, May 17, 17, to which the following response was received: Washington, XX.

The protest in behalf of the set I.ers was piacva iu ine couimissiuuer iiauua May 24, a.id, without giving litem a hearing, a patent was issued bu June 2, and on June 4 the Commissioner writes that the protest is too late, though his own letter shows he had had it in his posses sion nine days lwtore the patent was issued.
