A Journal man, WHO naa some ecquauiuiuue itu the old chief, 'saw him yesterday conversing by signs with a Cheyenne scout who is of the In reply reporter's ques- tiqn Broken Ajm said that the sign language" of the Indians, unlike their dialect, is universal: The Sioux, unless by education, can mV more speak Cheyenne than an American can French. Yet the two tribes have been? living on number of years, and have been more' or less in contact with each other for some generations. The same is true of the speech of any other two tribes.

Yet every Indkn can converse with every other In iia, no matter wnat tne ainerences 01 on- gill geugi apiuuai iuvomuu. The sign language had undergone no change within his memory and had probably undergone no modification for a century or more; Thus when tribes from- tne nortn ana soutn were urougui uiw wu- tact at Washington for the first time in the memory-of the oldest -men among them there was no. confusion of signs, each f. pr nerfftctlv funderstandmg the other pertecuy. A well-known Sioux- City man, wnosa business frequently calls him from the city fore few days at a' time, had occasion dur ing the past week to go abroad on business.

Instead of going home he seized tne opportunity afforded to go out and have "a time with the In the evening he reg- istered at the Booge and stayed there over night."

So said a bright-looking 7-year-old child as he sat on a bench in the patrol-house at police headquarters Friday afternoon.

He. finally secured a position as porter at the Merchants hoteL- Since his residence there the other employes have imposed upon his lack of knowledge of city ways and have made to him many ridiculous explanations of things and customs. Among- other things he was told that tha workings of the central telephone office were such that they could not have a' door the room, and that for this reason the girls who operate the switchboards had to go in and out by way of a window and the spiped pole which stands on Douglas 6treet, just outside the window.

One evening the young man was missing from the hotel shortly before 6 o'clock, and as he did not show up another porter was sent out for him, and returned with the explanation that he had found him standing at the comer of Fourth and Douglas streets. When asked to explain his absence he said that he had just stood there to see the girls come down the pole when they got through work. poor, suffering Kansas, on the whole, was quite considerable. rWbat may be jGov; Boies' loss -as a poli- tician this year will be bis gain as a farmer.

But there is disposition not to have it rest there, and Mr. Eyler seems disposed still "to seek a larger vindication than-, the committee of his brethren were disposed to accord.

The disposition seems to be to unload on the policeman who thought Bro. Eyler had- better go a hotel, and upon the reporter- who' told 'the story, andiipon Tms Jouknai through which the singular exploits of Mr. Eyler were This is the only justification Th'b JoubkaL. pleads for producing this letter.

Other communications similar tenor have reached Ths Jocks Ai and -been consigned to the waste basket. Indeed this letter was fished from the. waste basket, and for the reasonto speak plainly that The Journal might use it in worldly resentment against rather persistent to speak ill of it in the broader purpose of affording Bro.

Just another word as to the letter of the Cherokee man: The writer is a Christian gentleman, given somewhat to lay preaching, and always' active in the promotion of church work. The explanation as to the authorship is made, that denial may precede assertion that he is a whisky-bloat, some scapegrace reporter, or in some capacity adovil's agent intent upon the downfall of one commissioned to the truth as it is In Christ Jesus. The Calliope Journal insists thatRev. Mr; Eyler 'was maligned, slandered, basely slandered, through the columns of Thb xai" 'The Calliope voice of Bro.

The Calliope paper finds in Thb Jocbsaz. this quotation: "Whatsoever ye' would that men should do to you, do ye even bo to them." Thereupon Thb Jocrxal is called to the bar of the Calliope organ -to answer to Bro. Eyler for "the wrong -that an irresponsiblo reporter 'had inflicted upon the character of an innocent man." Well, The Journal is on hand to answer and the Calliope inquisition can have the whole case reopened il it wants to. If Bro.

1 Yes, the ecclesiastical assemblages occasionally become very lively. The brethren get excited over a heresy proceeding or other difference, and they even belabor one another with angry and denunciatory and abusive expletives, after the manner of the unregenerate. But In all candor, it must be said, that when the comparison is made with political 'conventions and the principal secular parliaments the religious assemblies make a very favorable" appearance. Their discussions. as a rule are notable for courtesy, point, thoroughness and dispatch.

The great 6tates of the Mississippi river, which so impressed Gen. with their importance, ought to be remembered by. him when he comes again to appoint a member of the inter-state commerce commission. The so-called v. Reformed Presbyterian church seems to have got' things exactly wrong.

Ex-Gov. St. John is grieved. He. joined the Southern Farmers' alliance in Kansas, and has been urging on the organization of a new national party.

He went down to Cincinnati to help in the work and to get the new party to adopt prohibition that is, the kind of prohibition which St. John talks for at "50 a night and expenses, strictly in advance" but he failed. It knocks St. John out of a job so far as the new party is concerned. He therefore calls "the pie's party'? a third whisky party.

To the Editor I have read with a lively, interest" all that has been published relative, to Rey. W. H. Eyler's escapade in Sioux' City on the night of May 12. vl hoped the committee selected by the E.

church to investigate this matter would be able to embody in its re port a reasonable and satisfactory 'excuse for the conduct of the reverend gentleman nn rha -nitrhr in nnAfflinn Inn Ann. IT. flrv- p9ared to me, in the absence or sucu excuse, the committee could do no les3 than nnfav-. orably criticise his methods on that memorable While Eyler" admits 'he' lied regarding his 'name and place otresidence, not one 'word of reproof or censure is indulged in by the. committee.

How inconsistent the reason given- for con cealing his right name I When interrogated by VY ohnson as to why he lied about his name, he replied: feared 6ome great injury might befall my church if the officer should find out just who I was." How satisfactory this must have been to the breth ren m. Beyond all question Is the first instance on record where a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ was afraid his church would be injured by telling the truth. Mr. Eyler's own statement impresses me with a belief some foreign agent, was playing with his brain. On returning from Morning Bide why.

did he not go directly to Rev. Mr. Southwell's or Mr. Hawley's Excusing himself, he says ''I was. attracted by a band playing.

I paused for awhile ana then, went down to the Union depot to see the trams coming and going, something of, a sight for me. I debated the question as to whether I should go to a hotel or pass the night in one of the rocking chairs at the depot. I left the station between 10 and 11 o'clock: When opposite the Friendship hotel I -was attracted to a young', man in iue secona story on account or a fancied 'resemblance to an acquaintance. Massing np Third street I was attracted to one of the posters of Mr. Barnes of New York' on the trunk factory." After all these attractions are ended we find him registering at the Merchants hotel under an assumed name and then partially undressed lying across his bed.

thinkine. This mav look all straight and reasonable to the mem- bers of the M. E. church, but to an outsider it certainly looks a "little fishv." Such whitewashmg as-was done in this case will receive from an indignant public the con demnation it so richly deserves. Merely a Convenience.

Keokuk Gate City? Money is merely a convenience and can be dispensed with with no worse result than inconvenience, as John Stuart Mill and the other political economists long ago pointed out. It wouid cure a good foolish opinions and confound a good, many addle-headed statesmen of the Pcffer order if money should be wholly abolished in the United States say for ten years. There is about sixty thousand million dollars' worth of property in this country Congress, if it constitutionally could, could say by law that hence? forth there shall bo no money in America. That would not add to take an iota from the'-yalue of that $80,000,000,000 of property. The property would remain, the people would remain, their business wouldremain the people would go on adding to their property and transacting, business; no one who has property would lose it or surrender it or part with it more than now no one who has not property would have more than now.

Therefore let the republicans now come for--ward, make a definite stand and propose a practical policy. Though new in Nebraska such a board has beea thoroughly tried and approved in other states. fa THERE IS 'JX'O PEACE.

It is astonishing that there should be at this time prominent republicans in Nebraska, who are urging a dicker betw een their party in that stats and the representatives of the railroad corporations, upon the most im-. portant local question, control of the, railroad corporations. What republicans, even though they be "conscientious," have authority to speak for the republican party of Nebraska before it speaks for itself, and to arrange such it compromise? It is true, as certain inspired newspaper correspondents are savinir, that there is a feeling, even among Nebraska railroad managers that it is "for the state board of transportation to awaken from its Rip Van Winkle slumber," and that "these sleepy rvants of the people should be kept" awake long enough to fix up a schedule of s- maximum But it is not true that any republicans, whether they call themselves leaders or not, have any authority whatever to make a treaty of with the railroad companies upon condition that the maximum rates shall be fixed id. a particular way. 1 f-A Lincoln, says: With this end in view negotiations are to bp instituted at an early day the republican managers and the railways for a compact whereby the party shall bind itself to abstain from further radical legislation- upon the express condition that the railways for their part shall retire from poUtlcs in this state, and forever keep their bands off of the party caucuses, prunaries 'and con; ventions.

The republican board of transportation establishing a reasonable schedule, of maximum rates and the, party maintaining them on its honor as a party, for the fixed term of three years, The -better element of the party believes that uch action would allay in a measure a large share of the dissatisfaction now existing among the farmers keep party promises nuu unauy result ui guuu to au cuuesraeu. Undoubtedly there is much exaggeration in this report, but if there be in Nebraska any "republican managers'? who are meditating such a scheme, they had better abandon it at once, or the true republican managers had better knock them 7 It is a proposition which obviously comes from the They read the handwriting on the walL They were defeated last year in the organization of the republican They have seen a popular re-; volt. understand tttat Gov, Boyd's, veto of the maximum rate bill has. only made the people more determined to assert their rights; They see defeat abend and they want to get victory by diplomacy. The railroad corporations never, make concessions except when they have been whipped or to avoid being whipped worse That such a proposition is made ought to be sufficient reason for its rejection, and! it ought to be a sign to wise leadership in Nebraska that the time is ripe to subdue the czars Of railroad management com-, pletely.

So the railroad managers, if they can be satisfied with a schedule' of rates, and if "the republican party shall bind-itself to abstain from further "radical legislation," will promise to retire from 'politics" Nebraska, and ''forever keep their hands off of the party caucuses, primaries and con ventions." Well, here's a situation. Are we to understand- that Jay Gould's Union Pacific is to be one of the contracting parties? Who is to enforce the contract? There are a good many people trying in vain to make the Union Pacific, keep; its contracts. Bosh It is insane folly to talk of such a compact. It is an insult to assume th at the actual leadership of the republican party in Nebraska would enter into or consider such a scheme. The railroad corporations could not be satisfied at any rate without giving away the interest of the people The railroad companies mean by "a reasonable schedule" a schedule which is unreasonable from the standpoint of public inter est.

They will not acknowledge substantial public control in Nebraska in public interest until they have been knocked down and dragged out. They are just the came in Ne- Ibraska as in Iowa and everywhere else. There Is just one wise thing for the republican party in Nebraska to do, and that is to be the knife with which the people cut the fingers whjph the corporations have clutched abo'u tf the throat of state government, just as the republican party has done in Iowa.1 Away with treaties 1 Why should, the master treat with the servant?

The eyes of thousands of Iowa republicans who have been discontented with state-wide prohibition, and who have been tempted to look temporarily' to the demo cratic party to secure the substitution of high license, are being opened by tlie sud-. den bold declaration of the purpose of the democracy by its state the Des Moines Leader; The Leader deliberately declares that the democratic party of Iowa, whatever it may write In its platform to deceive these republicans, is opposed to high ops' posed to license in every form', by its logic, to use the Leader's The Leader reiterates its declaration. It attacks the i policy of high license, root and branch.

It declares -that "high license in no respect lessens intemperance This is an important declaration, coming at this particular Juncture, from the state organ of the Iowa democracy. We are just squaring off "for a state contest In which the question is whether; there is to be repeal of the state-wide form of hibition. 1 There are many republicans who do not approve inflexible prohibitory legist "lation, but- who do not; prefer' it a policy whose' real "is 'unalterable opposition to 4 license in any form." recent years there i has been a considerable percentage of Iowa republicans of men who are republicans on every present issue of 'national poUtics--who have really been deceiTed into belief that the democratic party, if it should get con- trol of the legislature, would enact high 11- I cense. The democratic paxtv in Iowa would I do nothing of the khwt It has been Juggling from the first with this issue for parti san purposes. It would ceme into control of the.

legislature under obligations to "1 the saloon element, and its legislation would be dictated by that element. There would be no higli The real democratic leaders in Iowa understand this very welL They know' that when democratic legis-' lature had ground out its grist it would not. be high license. Their state torgan only voices their genuine position and purpose when it declares the logic of the party be "unalterable opposition to license in any The Leader must be carried away with overconfidence In the result of this year's election. It must feel sure that the stool-pigeon game which, is embodied in the alleged "independent party," will draw off enough republican to give the legislature to the party which "ja unalterably opposed to license in any form," or it would not at the threshold of the contest serve such specific notice upon the people.

It is well thus early toJiave the issue defined. A XE.BRA8KA Word goes out from Lincoln that some earnest republican leaders in Nebraska have been conferring upon the political situation and considering some feasible plan whereby the party might be materially; strengthened in the approaching campaign. It Is not strange to hear that the minds of these leaders, Under, these circumstances, revert to the alleged state board of railroad commissioners. Thb Jorax al advisedly uses the "word "alleged" in this connection, for under the name without the substance of such a board that body by what itEas done or failed to do has given cause for complaint against the republican party in Nebraska. The people of Nebraska have suffered grieviously at the hands of the railroad cor porations.

It is needless to go into the details of railroad tyranny. Rates have been not only, unreasonable and extortionate In themselves, especially grievous by reason of unjust discriminations. The local rates especially have been outrageous. No intelligent person, who has an Interest to warp his judgment, has attempted to justify these matters for a long time. The alleged board of commissioners Was constituted some years ago under guise of a purpose to afford the public a remedy for these grievances.

It was hoped thatjt would secure substantial relief, that it would really be a court to -which the people might go and that it would verily curb the haughtiness of thereat The -uninitiated expected that the board would be the representative of the people in their contest for the correction of the more important specific wrongs which they should from time to time take up. The alleged board of railroad commissioners has proved utterly disappointing to, all such hopes. It has never secured any sut-stantial relief on a single point to the people of Nebraska." Under it the railroad corporations have wrought their sweet wills just as they did before it was Time and again has important necessity for remedial action against corporation been presented before it, but in every such case, after paltering, temporizing and whip-sawing, the board has in the pinch and at last turned up as the instrument for continuing the oppression complained of, and not for securing relief from it. Tnis Is the plain truth, and every intelligent observer knows it. The republican party in Nebraska has suffered grievously on account of it.

n- Well may the sincere men of influence, in the party turn their attention to the'subject at this time, when the party's local policies must be decided. Thb JocaSAL is disposed to renew the advice which it gave on this point last year to the Nebraska republicans when they fought out in; their state convention and in their state rganization the question of their attitude! on the control of the railroad corporations. That 'advice is that they declare for a complete reorganization of their alleged board of state railroad commissioners. la other words, they should declare for a. gen uine board.

At present the board is nom- in a Picturing a Candidate. Ottumwa Courier: The republican candidate must be a practical farmer as well as a broadminded and well-poised business The intelligent husbandry of Iowa, its sturdiest yeomanry will accept no other. A number of such men have been' suggested. -Mr. Wheeler of Odebolt; Mr, Clayton of -Macedonia; Daniel Kerr, of Grandy Poyneer and others, have been mentioned.

The first three are practically "the only candidates in the J-, field." Either would assume the duties of 'I the. governorship with credit to the stats, and certainly would never be guilty of libeling that thrifty agricultural class to whose efforts are due the fame Iowa has as a corn producing and -stock raising state. The Courier candidate is the man who will best take up the battle this fall and push it hardest to the finish. Over the portals of the oldest literary society in the state are the words Nulla Retrorsum," which translated means "No step backward," or as the members of that society are accustomed to remark "no crawfishing." What the republican party wants is that farmer who Ms temper-meat is most like "Old Busdness'' John Gear, of Burlington, who has no apologies to off er for the acts of the republican party, who has no excuses to make in, respect to any republicha with an inspiring courage, will boldly declare that there can be no compromise with the saloon, that the people tire sovereign to corporations, that home labor and home productions must alike be protected, and that" honest money shall be the currency of the realm. He does not need to be a brilliant stump speaker? nor a witty eampaicu orator, but like Gen.

Grant, must be able to strip the fallacies and dogmas of democracy of their verbiage end unmask the dangerous doctrine without faltering. This is the Courier's choice for governor and will bo the choice of the republican Trying to Serve Two masters.
