A SUGGESTION IN NATIONAL FINANCE-

Thk Blue and Gray for September make a suggestion in regard to national finances which is certainly woiihy of careful thought on the part of the people and their representatives in Oongres. It is this:

The public debt of Franco amounts to something more than IU6 ptr .capfro, according to the lau*t published official reports, and yet the tiuanclal condition of that republic Is apparently about as sound as that of any other nation, aud her tremendous Indebtedness does not tend unduly to drain her resources. The reason, is obvious nearthe whole of this great debt Is hold by the French people themselves, and the Interest does not go abroad. The holders of French bonds are not alone the wealthy class millions upon millions are In the hands of the middle and poorer (.classes,and this Is made possible by the Issuance of bonds of small denominations, enabling the poor clerk or artisan to Invest his small savings iu this way. In fact, the bulk .of the French national debt is held by a class of small resident investors, whose taxes are virtually returned to them iu the shape of interest. It should require uo elaborate argument to prove the wisdom of the French meth-nl of rendering its bouds purch:is iliie br all classes, rich aud poor Jaud thou* is now a demand, for a similar policy on the part of the United States. If this government should adopt the French Idea, and issue IfOiids In denominations as low as 120 or $'35, it would uot be mauy years before the export of gold to pay interest due to foreign holders of our securities would be practically stopped. The present financial squeeze is due largely to the hoarding, in strong-boxes and bureau drawers, of myriads of small amounts of currency, withdrawn from banks of deposit by frightened holders. In thousands of cases money has boon converted, by ingenious individuals, Into Unltdd States money orders, which are now simply held, the holders teel ing that such an obligation of the government, though it bear no interest. Is a safer and more desirable form of investment than that offered by any savings bauk. This goes to show what would have recently happened, had there been au Issueof ulted States boads available for the Investment of small savings. The millions oi much-needed currency now lying idle and nou-productive would have been kept in circulutlou, to the influite relief of rich and poor alike.

Thf. loweet estimate now placed upon the expected deficit at the end of the present fiscal year ia $50,000,000. If the tariff is taken off of wool, reduced on iron and a hundred other articles as is now proposed it will be interesting to observe by what methods the tariff smashers will pursue to raise the required revenue to run the government. Of course it can be done by placing tea, coffee and sugar on the dutiable list but what will become of the poor man's free breakfast table?

In a helpful article on "City Pavements," Mr. William Fortune, of Indianapolis, will give the readers of the October Century the latest data in regard to the cost and durability of the different kinds of pavements now being luid in the most enterprising townB and cities of the United States. Several full-page pictures by Csstaigne, of notable New York streets, showing the result of different methods of street paving, will accompany the article.

Senator Allison la of the opinion that there will be no change of the litriff during the present session of Congress. If the Democrats make no better progress in wiping out the "unconstitutional tariff" than they have in repealing the "Sherman makeshift" the Senator is probably right. The threat and the promise have already played the mischief with business.

Hexatoit Voorueeh says: "If we turu our backs on such men as Orover Cleveland and John G. Carlisle—God help the Democratic party and the country if such a stupendous mistake is to take place." As a majority of the Senate are Democrats and the Sherman law still stands on the statute books it would seem to indicate that a few had turned their backs.

Senatob Stewart, of Nevada, has introduced a resolution In the Senate making inquiry whether any Senator ie a stockholder in a national bank. An inquiry by some Senator whether any member of that courteous and dignified body is a stockholder in any silver mine wouW be as pertinent.

The Washington correspondent to the Indianapolis News says there have been no developments in the Collectoreliip of the Seventh Distriot, bat Joshua nmp, of Terre Haute, ia leading the lield. Advices here are that W. F. Uulett is a nose ahead.

The Michigan City Dixpatch says the Javanese village in Midway Plaisanee would probably have attracted a larger attendance if it hadn't been so all fired decent.

Tinkebinu with the currency is nearly as bad as tinkering with the tariff— especially when the tinkering is done by the Democrats.

The Ohio election will take place on November 7. McK'nley's majority will not be lees than 40,000.

WOUNDED KNEE.

A Review of That Terrible Battle -i with the Indiana

Tb« Lsat Conflict Between Government Troop* and the Red Men—The Brave Soldier* Who Lost

•v-••--Their

Live* In the Fight.

The battle of Wounded Knee Is the last fight that has taken place in the United States between the Indians and the regular troops. It may go on record, says the Kansas City Times, as the last Indian war in this country after a desultory conflict between whites and reds lasting for four hundred years. In that long span thousands of lives have gone out In Indian warfare. There have been massacres, long wars, assassinations, blood butcheries—all manner of conflict has marked the advance of modern civilization against the aborigine.

Twenty-four United States soldiers were killed at Wounded Knee, S. D., on Monday, December 29, 1890. The battle was the culmination of an extended disturbance among the Indians about Pine Ridge and Standing Rock. Old Sitting Bull, the wily chief who had so many times promised to be a good Indian, grew surly and threatened to gather his warriors and go to the Bad Lands to begin a winter's campaign against the settlers. Trouble brewed all through the early part of December, but until the middle of the month no serious outbreak was expected by those of the whites who knew the habits and disposition of the Sioux. On December 15 Sitting Bull again announced that he was about to lead the warriors away from the agency. Fearing that he meant to put his threat into execution, the Indian police were ordered tp capture the aged chief. They proceeded to do their duty and a skirmish followed, in which Sitting Bull was killed. The news of the chief's death and the manner of it served to inflame the Sioux nation and much war talk resulted. At Washington, however, the old Indian fighters thought that the death of the principal chief would put an end to the troubles.

Out in the bleak hills of South Dakota the war spirit of the Sioux was growing. The death of the old chief found the young braves nerved up to a struggle against the whites and only a word was necessary to name a new leader and to continue the work of agitation. The flame was fanned until the closing days of the month, when the battle of Wounded Knee began and ended the war.

On that day the aroused Sioux attacked the Catholic mission at Pine Ridge agency. The Seventh cavalry arrived in time to engage the Indians, and a terrific encounter ensued. Between seventy-five and one hundred of the redskins were killed, and twentyfour United States soldiers were counted among the dead after the fight was at an end. Among the Sioux leaders were High Hawk, Little "Wound. Tilg Road, Two Strikes, Fire Lightning. Voung-Man-Afraid-of-Ilis-Horses and Spotted Elk. Two Strikes and Little Wound were in command.

The soldiers killed at Wounded Knee were Capt. George D. Wallace, Sergt. Dyer, Sergt. Coffey, Sergt. Nettle, Hospital Steward Pollock, Corporal Bone, and Privates Johnson, Frey, Kelly, Cain, Book, Murphy, Killner, Hodges, Forrest, Newell, McCue, Logan, Costello, Ragan, Christianson, Ranaka, Tafrey and Adams. It is to these brave men, whose battle cry was "Remember Custer," that the Fort Riley monument was erected. They lived there, and it was from that place that they went off into the Dakota hills to fight the redskins in the snow of a December evening. Fitting It is that under the shade of Fort Riley should be a shaft to the memory of these brave Indian fighters.

Since the battle of Wounded Knee Two Strikes and Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses have died. Two Strikes was shot and killed a few months ago, and Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses fell dead with heart disease only recently.

The Indians of the United States are generally peaceful now, and there is little chance for another outbreak. The march of civilization was never so rapid as at this moment. Let it be hoped that the last Indian war is over.

Our Changing Taste*.

A book of "Household Elegancies," published less than forty years ago in this country, says a metropolitan writer, gives an Idea of the rapid changes of public taste in America in the matter of what is esteemed to be the beautiful. From this it appears that leather flowers and fruit, varnished, and panes of glass painted and set in wooden frames were things of loveliness. Also, that boxes and baskets with sea shells glued upon them, and glass vases with colored pictures fastened on by transparent paste,were appropriate for the parlor. There are hints for making wreaths out of human hair and mottoes out of colored worsted and perforated cardboard. Wax fruit and flowers may occasional^' be found in boarding-house parlors, and mottoes and samplers in country houses, but sounder forms of art, less expensive and troublesome, nevertheless, are seen In most places.

A Trmg*m Conning.

A naturalist paper relates an interesting incident of a frog's cunning. A brood of chickens was fed with moistened meal in saucers and when the dough soured a little it attracted large numbers of flies. An observant toad had evidently noticed this, and every day toward evening he would make his appearance in the yard, hop to a saucer, climb In and rollover and over until ho was covered with meal, having done which he awaited developments. The flies, enticed by the smell, soon swarmed'around the scheming batrachlan, and whenever one passed within two Inches or so of his nose his tongue darted out and the fly disappeared. The plan worked so well that the toad made a regular business of it.

The Best in the World.

Senator Henry C. Nelson, of New York, writes. "On the 20th of February, 1SS3, I was taken with a violeDt pain in the region of the kidneys. I suffered such agony that could hardly stand up. As soon as possible 1 applied two Alcock's Porous Plasters, one over each kidney and laid down, lu an hour, to my surprise and delight, the piiin had vanished and I was well. I wore the plasterj for a day or two as a precaution and then remove them. 1 have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and beit remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affections. From njy exoerience I believe they are the best piasters in the world."

There is no disease more trying to friendship than catarrh! The constant effort to cleur the thi oat and nose, the foul breath, all the features of the disease, make it as much dreaded by the friend as by tho victim. Humanity has cause to bless Dr. Sage for his "Catarrh Remedy." The manufacturers offer to forfeit IM0 for any case they cannot cure.
