TROUBLE AHEAD,
If, as the Democratic papers proudly assert, that "the American people have risen in their might and majesty and rebelled against the McKinley tariff law," there is clearly but one course open for that party to pursue, and that i6 to perform its mission Bnd do it at once. An extra session of Congress should be called to meet as soon after the 4th of March as possible and wipe this "wholesale fraud," this "robbery of the people" from the statute books. If they were sincere in their campaign cry that the McKinley act is "unconstitutional" and "the culminating atrocity of class legislation" it ought to be repealed at once. This "outrage upon the many for the benefit of the few" Bhould be righted and the people made happy. The Republicans when they were in power had the courage of their convictions, enacted the law and thus kept faith with the people. If the Democrats have the backbone they will face the music and repeal the law and thus satisfy their faithful followers. If they show the white feather they will advertise to the country that their campaign cry was a fraud and that they obtained power through a hypocritical pretense.
SIS,000 HAISED.
If the friends of Wabash College donate to her the sum of S30.000 by December 15. Mr. Simon Yandes will duplicate that amount. So far about 815,000 has been subscribed and the trustees are working hard for the remainder. They expect to get it but to sue ceed they must have help from all. Especially here in Crawfordsville should every man, whether wealthy or in moderate circumstances contribute according to his means. Ed Reynolds, O. M. Gregg and others have been soliciting among the business men, who, in most cases, they have responded liberally, especially when we consider the fact that this is the first time in the history of the college that they have been aBked for aid. Men give le.s readily where tli6y have all their lives been accustomed to think there was no need. Wabash college has never had a surplus and frequently, as at present, there has been a deficit. Yet this is the only time she has asked for help among ihe business men of the community, who derive such a vast amount of benefit from her.
No WON'DEH the price of wheat is low The lines of transportation are blockaded by the extraordinary quantities of wheat which the farmers are forcing on the market. Notwithstanding the great wheat crop of last year, we are expect ing more wheat this fall than last. In October, 1891, our exports wereequivnlent to 19,107,400 bushels last October they equaled 20,137,140 bushels. And it still continues to come increasing the visible supply. And yet demagogues endeavor to make it appear that the tariff is responsible for the low price of wheat.

Inconstant! Not my own The band which builds this wall between our lives On Its cold shadow, grown
To perfect shape, the flower of love survives.
God knows that I would give All other joys, the sweetest and the best*' For one short hour to live
Close to thy heart, its comfort and ite rest. But life is not all dark. The sunlight eoldeua many a hidden blope. The dove shall find its ark
Of peaceful refuge and of patient hope.
And should Another's head Sleep on thy heart, and it should ever seem To be my own Instead,
Oh, darling! hold it closer for the dream.
God will forgive the sin. If slu it is: our lives arc swept so dry. So cold, so passion clean.

Miami Indian* »rt Into Trniilde. WA.BASH, lnd.. Nov. 2*.-~Thciv is a misunderstanding between the Miami Indians in Wabash county and the county vieasurcr. Some one has informed tin* Indians that they are not obliged to pay taxes, and as a result the copper-colored owners of several good farms in the southern part of the county allowed their taxes to co delinquent. A taxcollector called upon them and was ordered off the premises. He suceeded in levying upon ten horses, however, and the Indians then came to Wabash and hired a lawyer to secure a restraining order to prevent the sale of the horses. Circuit Judge H. M. Shively granted the order, and the reds now propose testing the question of their liability to taxation.--. -The Indians iu this county all vote.^

About 0 o'clock he started along the Wabash tracks to the camp. A work train came along and signaled him off the track. He would not leave it. and to prevent his destruction the train stopped and he was put off the track. This outraged him. and as the engine pulled past him he threw a stone and struck the engineer on the head. The blow knocked him off his seat, where he remained helpless, lie was taken to his hoarding place, where it was discovered that his skull had been fractured. Physicians say lie cannot recover.

WAYS OF THE PANTHER. Tliu Terror of ill. Chllilri'ii or Northern York In Kiirly Time*.
A recent article in the Forest and •Stream describes the habits of the oougar or panther as seen in the forests of northern New York, and I venture to add something further as to the peculiarities of this animal. From IS24 to 1*4!' my home was iu one of the sparsely settled valleys of that region and 1 had frequent reminders of this beast, not only from hear-ay. tint from my own observation and that of an immediate neighbor.
The cougar 1 FVlis concolor) was there called panther or painter and also catamount. Panther was the terror of the childreu of that region. The legendary "black beast" of the nursery, the bear, though plentiful enough with us. excited no such terror in our minds as did a suggestion that a painter might catch us. To scream like a painter was understood as the most terrific of all screams. I11 that comparison the pillars of Hercules were reached. Ilut the boys of that region all became hunters as soon as they could carry a gun. anil soon outgrew their fears. The stories of the ferocity and monstrous leaps of our paiUher su tiered senous diminution tinder an actual and frequent observation of the beast.
Some of my earliest ideas' about this animal came from being shown the carcass of a sheep lying in the crotch of a big liirch tree and about forty feet from the ground. 1 here was snow on the ground, and it WHS plain to see that some animal had brought it from a wellfeneed yard just across the road from our house, lu the yard one lamb lying a few yards awav from the other sheep had had the top of its head knocked oft" by a blow from an animal which had leap.'d a long distance to strike the lamb, ami whieh had done it 110 further violence. Several sheep lay dead in the yard and partly eaten. Wolves and cougars had agreed iu hunting together but when it came to the repast the catlike instinct of the cougar inclined him to tuke his share into the tree beyond the chance of interference.
1
Two cougars came one night into the pasture of a fanner living a mile south of us and killed five sheep, carrying the bodies a few rods into the woods, and after eating a part, buried the remainder very carefully with a cover of leaves and dirt. The farmer's boys set a bear trap anil caught the male cougar the first night. My hunting dog had a habit, if 1 was not going to hunt, of going to this neighbor's to seo if he could get his boys to go. and was thero that morning in time to go with them to their trap. Tho dog, finding the animal iu the trap, ran up to it and got such a blow from its paw as sent him some yards away, uud tho panther snatched a piece of llesh from the dog's shoulder blade, leaving bare .1 piece of the bone as large as a half-dollar, and in that plight he returned to me. That evening at dusk I was in the road half a mile from our house, where 1 had beeu to drive the cows to pasture, when the female mate of the captured cougar, storting apparently from the side of the mountain opposite to 1110 and a quarter of a mile uway, walked slowly along toward the place where her mate had been killed and all the way, at short intervals, giving such terrific screams as 1 had never heard before and as most decidedly hurried my pace toward tho house, where I found the family standing in the front- yard to hear the same alarming screams which had startled mc. Part of her notes seemed those of anger and some of intense grief.
I*or half an hour she continued her waitings, ami then was heard no more. Cougars rarely attack men, but are not easily frightened when confronted. 1 woof my father's log choppers had felled a pine tree at evening, and next morning approached it from tho top, intending to cut it into logs. On the butt of the tree they saw a large cougar lying apparently asleep. The men agreed to give it a big scare and see how far it could leap. They ran along the trunk of the tree and gave a joint scrcam the animal simply got up and faced them. They ret reatcd, when the beast quietly got oft and waded off through the snow.
A son of nunc, traveling in Arizona, camped one night under some trees. After getting his coltee he lay down 011 his blanket by the fire. Then a cougar jumped down from the tree beside him and made oft before tho man could ilsu his gun.
