IN A TERRIBLE FIX. _»B_Y’EBEN E. REXFORD. = - “Now, 'Rastus”<-and his sister picked a thread or two off his coat, and hesitatedl, ag if thinking how to break the ‘news gently—*l want totell you about a plan I've got in my head.” : I know!/ what it is,” interrupted her brother, turning pale. “I knew all about it before 1 came down here.” - “I'd like to know how ?” asked Mrs. Green, in great surprise, “I never told anybody except John, and T’m sure he hasn’t let it out.” ‘ “No, he basn’t,” answered Mr. Bangs. “]}ut.tlxeﬁl\u}&ute I read your lefter 1 felt what was in the wind. Youdidn’t say in so many words that you'd got a match planned out, but I understood it well enough. Who ‘is it, Selina? Better get the load off your mind as soon as possible, I'm prepared to know the worst,” and Mr. Bangs heaved a sigh of forc® resignation. = - “It's a widow,” answered Selina; “just the kind of a woman to suit you, ’Rastus. Ido hope you'’ll be sensible this time, and do not let your foolish bashfulness spoil your chances of getting a good wife.” o - “A widow!” Mr. Bangs turned a trifle paler,and shivered. “I—l'm afraid I can’t stand this siege, Selina. I came mighty near knocking under to that old maid last summer, but I was helped out of the scrape some way. I've always heard 'say that a man couldn’t hold out long againsta widow,if she'd got her mind really made up to get honll ! ;

. “Don’t'be a fool, "Rastus,” said his sister, tersely. “Maria’s too good for you, and ifi you know when you're well off, you'l] maake sure of her.” - “Maybe she won’t be made sure of, said Mr. Bangs, to whom this conversation was terribly fascinating. “Oh, yes, she will,” answered Selina. “I've talked with her about matters, and I know she’d have no objections.” “Good gracious, Selina,” exclaimed Mr. Bangs,,opqrspiring all over, “you don’t mean to say that you've actually talked with this woman about myimarrying her, do you? Why, she’ll expect me to do it, if you have, and if I don’t she’ll be having me up for breach of promise.”™ : : : “oOf course she expects you to marry her, and so do 1,” answered Selina, as if that settied the matter. “I3e a man, "Rastus. 1 wouldn’t be afraid of the woman, if I were in your place.” ““You don’t know what you're talking about,” said Mr. Bangs, shaking his head dolefully. “You’rea woman, and can’t be expected to know.” “Well, come down and lef me introduce you now,” said Selina, and she finally got him to consent. - - “I feel like a lamb being led to the slaughter,” said poor Mr. Bangs as he paused at the parlor door to wipe his face. “I wish I were home again, SeJina’l: ; : .

-“Don’t be such a fool, 'Rastus,” repeated his sister, by way of encouragement, and then he was dragged over the threshold, and he remembered afterward that semething in the shape of a woman rose up and said something after Selina said something. But what those something were he never knew. . ; 3 '

When- he came to, sufficiently to realize what was going on about him, he was alone with the widow. She was not a bad-looking woman, he ‘had to admit. In the face he rather liked the looks of her. = @ - b ‘

Well, the result was, he fell in love with Mrs. Smith. He generally fell in love with the woman Selina selected as proper subjects for matrimony. But: this time he felt so completely done for that he was. sureall Lis capas bilities for falling in love were exhausted. He would never love again,

At the end of a week he felt that his love had reached its climax, for he picked up a rose she had dropped, and slept with it on his pillow. ' “You poor -fool,” he said to himself the next morning, as he stood before the glass. “To think you've got spoony enough for that. A I'm glad no one knows it. But the widow is awfully attractive, and I don’t see as I'm to blame. I—T can’t help it.” : "One day Selina and Mrs. Smith went out shopping after tea. As Mr. Bangs was going through the hall he saw that Mrs. Smith’sroom door stood partway open, and an irresistible impulse to take just one peep into it cameover him. He did so. Hanging over the back of a chair -was a crinoline skirt, and that mysterious article of feminine apparel fascinated him so much that he ventured in, and began to examine it. :

“Well, now, if that doesn’t beat the Dutch!” said Mr. Bangs, holding it up. “I” wonder how I'd look in such a thing? I'm going to try it on.” : ' Accordingly he got hold of the belt, and proceeded to invest himself in it, after the manner of putting on trousers. .

“It buckles, I B’pose!” he said pulling the’belt together. “Yes, there it is. Lord! wouldn’t I cut a fine figure in hoops,” and Mr, Bangs danced a horn-pipe to arattling accompaniment of steel wires and brass fastenings. The hall-door banged. = i

“Good gracious!” cried poor Bangs. “They’ve come home!” ‘ Every hair on his: head stood up with fright. ' He grabbed at the belt, but it wouldn’t unbuckle. Ile heard steps on the stairs, and women’s voices struck more terror to his guilty soul than the sound of Gabriel’s trumpet' would have done. ; - He glanced about him. There was no escape. A icloset-door stood a little way open. Into that he crowded himself, hoops and all, and pulled the ddor together just as Mrs. Smith came in. oW : - 2

He could hear her bustling about, taking off her shawl and bonnet.— What if she were to come to the closet? 1t was altogether likely that she hung her things there. He felt as if he were going to faint. Then he tho’t ot the ridiculous appearance a fainting man in hoops would make, and made up his mind that he wouldn’t faint—he’d die first. i

There! She was coming that way! What was to be done? A thousand wild thoughts flashed through his brain. Te felt her lay her hand upon the door-knob, ; : ‘ “There’s a man in your room!” he roared out, in awful bass. He didn’t: know how he came te say it. It was glw inspiration of desperation, probaiy, : ] J ’ | “Oh-h, 0-0-h!” shrieked Mrs. Smith, and fled in terror, e ~ “I've got to get out of this before anyone comes,” said Mr. Bangs, gmng.i ‘apush to the door. Horrors! it would not n&em ~There was only one way of ‘%P;;n 1g it, and that was from the outMO e P oo s v e A b E‘M%wiigw*:mﬁ

afraid.” ! L D * He put his eye to the keyhole, and his sister enter the room. i “Selinal” he called, in a sepulchral tond, “Selipal’’ .. 0o “Who calls me Selina?” demanded Mrs. Greén, dramatically, flourishing the feather-duster, which she had bro’t along for a weapen of defense. ; “L do,” answered- Mr. Bangs. “It’s ‘Rastus, your brother. I'in shut upin this closet.” e ‘ " «Well, I never!” exclaimed Mrs. Green, staring at the closet as if she expected tolook it out of countenance. “Let me out and don’t be a fool,” cried Mr. Bangs. : g Thus appealed to, Mrs, Green ventured to open the door, and out stepped Mr. Bangs, with his crinoline rattling about his legs like dry bones in the valley of death. . 5 #“For the land’s sake!” cried Selina, with uplifted hands, and monuth wide open.. “Why, Rastus Bangs!” “I - I thought I'd have alittle sport,” explained Mr. Bangs, looking about as foolish as-it-is pessible fora man to, “but you came back too soon, and I couldn’t get it off, and slipped into the closet. Help me out of the confounded thing, Selina, and keep 1t to yourgelf, and I'll buy You the nicest dress in town.” e “Selina! Selina!” called’ the widow, from the bottom of the stairs. “Do you want any help ?” ‘ - “Hurry up!” exclaimed Mr. Bangs. “She’ll be here in a minute.” |

“I’ll tell you what I'll do,” said Selina. “If you'll promise to ask her to marry .you inside of three days, T'll help vou out of the scrape. If you don’t T’ll eall her in.” - S

“1 —I dassant,” groaned Mr. Bangs. “Then I'll call her,” said Selina. “]—l will,” said her brother desperately. Lieel W ; Mrs. Green gave a peculiar twich to the strap, the buckle let go its hold, and the terrible thing fell to the floor. Mr. Bangs stood up a free man. - . “Now remember,” said Selin#, warningly, “If youhaven’t proposed to Mrs. Smith in three*days from this time—at half-past six precisely, on Thursday, the time’ll beup—l shall tell the whoie sfory,” | - :

“Oh, those three days! They seemed three years to poor Bangs.. He tried seven different times to make hig promise good, but every time his tongue elove to the roof of his mouth, and he was speeehless. aii Thursday at six o’clock, Selina came taihinh, |0 i

“Have you asked her, 'Rastus ?” she demanded, solemnly, *No, I haven’t,” answered Mr. B. #I can’t, Selina.” : L . “You've got just half an hour’s time left,” said Selina, unfeelingly. “Supper’ll be ready in fifteenr minutes. The half hour’ll be gone before we get through eating, and I shall tell the story the minute the time’s up. Mal ria’s in the parlor, alone. If you want to see her, you’ll never get a better chance.” o

- “If you had any sisterly regard for me,” began Mr, Bangs, but Mrs. Green cut him short with the remark:; - |

. “A bargain’s a bargain. Do as you agreed to,-or L will. Don’t be a fool, ’Rastus.” . o e Do

Andwith that she opened the parior door, and pushed himjn. =~

Mr. Bangs doesn’t know what he gaid. Henever knew. Butthe widow said he asked herif she wanted to marty him. Being a truthful woman, she said she did, and so the poor man was spared the recital’'of the story of his terrible fix. i

“It was lucky that it happened after all,” he told Selina,*‘for if it hadn’t I never’d have got courage to propose —never.” ;

Moneyed Legislation. To the Editor of the Chieago Tribune. CHnrcAco, Sept. 15.—The spectacle of the leading bankers of the country meeting in solemn council in New York City and dictating a financial policy to be adoptéd by the country at-large is, to say the least, a laughable one. The interests of the bankers and the men of thiseountry and Europe who live and hoard, by loaning money, on the one side, and the interest of the men who simply own proeperty, and the laboring men, on the other side, are antagonistic. Therefore, when a banker becomes a legislator, he usually legislates money into his own pocket, and out of the pockets of the real-estate owner and the laboring men of this country.. Thisis but natural, and cannot be gainsaid. ‘Therefore, it is laughable to suppose that the latter class. are going to vote for the financial poli--:cy of the former. The writer is one of the “rank and file” of the great Republican party—one who has never scratched a name on astraight Republican ticket since the day of the firing ‘of the first gun on Sumter. But the feeling has been growing strong on me. of late, and has gradually deepened ‘until it has becomse an absolute- con- - vietion, that being a poor man,—if I ] vote in the interests of my own pocket, }——l lought notto vote the Republican ticket any longer. : : 1 say this on account of its finanecial policy, which, in my opinion, is of more importance than all the other issues combined. The “nigger question,” in comparison, sinks into pertectinsignificance. In connection with this, what has somewhat astonished me js, that, having mentioned this of date to many of my political friends, I ‘find they nearly all agree with me. I tell you, Mr. Editor, that the feeling among the rank and file is fast getting to be universal that the finaneial policy of the Republican party has been ‘manipulated in the interests of the leading moneyed corporations and moneyed men the world over; and is in opposition to the simple propertyowner and the honest laboring men of the country, and that party must back square down from that policy or be swept—as an avalanche sweeps the forests from the mountain-side—-out of existence. The least the party can do is to stay this feeling is at once to show itself in favor of, first, doing away with the “specie-resumption act,” ‘and, second, in..:mm;frmm@ngﬁi}pge:; silver, Neither one or the other will e smn Aok eek ~_The rank and file do not expect & g doal. oy mcvor Bave 1. do expect, and ¢ maz) arn. their brmmg:&% he air of ‘heaven.

The Meaning of the Silver Question. . The practical bearings of the silver @uiestion upon the interests of the tax- | Payers is not properly appreciated by + the men most deeply concerned. The gentlemen who have conducted theargument in favor of the silver dollar | Bave not explained what it means to | @he tax-payers, to the people. Thelaw“#ulness and the equity of their position Heing admitted, the voter has not been ld gi;’,what advantage the restoration @f the silver dollar would be to him #bdividually. =~ The advocacy of the Hestoration of the curreney of the coun@&y is eminently a democratic measdure, Whom will it help? . Of what ipaterial consequence isit? Speaking without clamps upon our tongue, and for. ourselves only, we advocate the full remonetization of the old silver doHar : i : 1. DBecause it would make possible fhe enlargement of our currency. v 72, Because it would honorably and _&quitably lift a burden of'’about one %dred millions of dollars from the people i the lquidation of the National debt. : : ! 3. Because (and closely connected with these two) it would be a partial measure of relief to the whqle business of the country, and to the entire debtor class, a clgss comprising about: nine-tenths of the peopie of our broad land. | e } Fortunately the opponents of some of our theories as to the ecurrency have made the argument for us on the silver question. When, more than a year and a half ago, the Enguirer advocated the paymeént of the public debt in silver, the old ery of “repudiation” was raised against us. That cry was lifted nine years ago, when the public debt was payable in lawful money of the United States. To pay’ the five-twenty bonds exactly accord--ing to the letter and spirit of the law of their issue was called “repudiation” by the agents of the men who were anxious to get more than was promis--.ed them. In March, 1869, the bondholders passed a.law commanding the payment of those bonds, not in gold, but “in coin.” This was the bondholders’ law, It wasﬁinfamous. It took about five hundred millions of dollars from #he pockets of the bondholders. Butit now became the recognized contraet. The promise o pay in legal: tender notes was changedto a promise to pay “in coin.” We do not propose to. consent to another change of the contract in the interest of the bond‘holders exclusively. - We intend to ‘hold the holders of the bonds, this time, to their own law. Theynow desire to change the contract from the shape into which they themselves altered it into a shape which will give them about one bhundred millions more than their own outrageous law calls for. The National debt amounts, in round numbers, to two thousand ‘millions of dollars. The market value of the silver dollar is about 6 per cent. below that of the gold dollar. The dif:ference between the contract and the bondholders this time is about one hundred and-twenty millions of dollars. We are 'anxious to save that sum to the people, for it can be done in ,gbedience to law and equity. If “there are any who insist that this is dishonest we refer them to the reply of a distinguished enemy of legal tender notes and an eminent friend of coin, Mr. Groesbheck: ‘“According to the construction of the contract as fixed by the law of 1869, when 'these bonds were sold by the Government, they were payable in coin of gold and silver., Let us see to it when they are to be paid that we are ready with the identical tender which was in force when the Government parted with them. That will be legal, that will be just, that will be fair, that will be hon‘est. No other course will be so; just, fair and honest. But, it is asked, would you pay in silver if it had depreciated? Let me ask, on the other hand, would - you pay in gold alone if it had: ‘appreciated?’ We ask that this time the people be considered, as well as the bondholders. We insist that the ‘contract shall not be changed again at the behest of the creditors alone. This i 8 a practical question which concerns the people of the United States to the amount of more than one hundred 'millions of dollars. This is part of ‘the practical meaning of the silver question, and we ask a popular verdict | upon it. Of the demonetization of silver as a partof thestupendous scheme | of contraction; of the remonetization of silver as a just act of friendliness to all debtors; of the bearings of the silver question upon the enormous indebtedness of the country other than{ Federal, State and municipal, the lim--its of this article will not permit usto speak. The issue, we think, will occur to all as peing emingntly one of practical moment. We rejoice that the law and the equity of the democratic position have been so illustriously . shown.—Cincinnati Enquirer. |

The Difference.

There isn’t very much difference.— ‘When a woman hears the baby cry she rushes to the cradle at once, picks the babe up, walks the floor with it, and gays—*“Es it's aboozed alzer time, is it ’er—neva’ mind—it’s muzzer’s darlin’, 80 it is—so it is, don’t ’k’y darlin’, oot~ sy-cootsy-hootsy-s-h-h! Thenshe sings a low, soft lullaby and the babe is soon sleeping. ‘But a man—there’s very little difference. When the baby beging crying he dutifully turns over and waits for his wife to get up; finding this won’t work he groans out “oh Lord!” gets out of bed very slowly, hunts up every article of furniture in the room and falls over it, and finally reaches the cradle and begins rocking it like a ship in a hurricane, giving vent to such baby talk as—*so-boy-sBO- - lordy, can’t you keep still. Hi-yi-dad—oh poor papa is so tired,” and then in.a very loud voice, that contains about as much music as a corn stalk fiddle he sings the soothing lullaby— e e :

“Hark! from thetomb a doleful sound : Mine ears attend the cry”’— getting it mixed up terribly with “John Andergson my Jo John.” Still the ba‘by cries. Then he gets mnad. fShut ‘up! do you hear me? Hush uplsay! Mariah come here and tend to your child. I believe you’d lay up ‘there and sleep if the house was a- fire.”-— Then he goes over the same route back fo bed, and the woman only says: “Ees, a great, big, ugly, nassy, man, ain’t he, muzzer's pet. There<there—there,” and she hits the sleeping lord three light blows, and in ten minutes the _baby is sound asleep and the man is ~dreaming he’s at a circus.—Columbus emaerßl, L e e - The “man milliner” is the name that Conkling gave Curtis, the editor of Haﬂfer’s Week;\?.., ~Curtis has been into address the Cooper ] hﬂﬁgﬂa’ ute antiConkling meeting on. the 10th of Oc-

| Republican Exvlanation of the Crushing U . Defeat in Ohio. : Chiicago Tribune, Oct. 1% o . | The result of the Ohio election has been more than expected by thé republican party. Never in the history of politics has there been such an extraor‘dinary complication of parties, platforms, tickets and discussions, aggravated by the untimely efforts of the .Seﬁretary of the Treasury to befog the currency question by explanations that | explained nothing. e If there be any questions of a public character on which the people of Ohio are united, and united without reference to party lines, they are (1) that silver shall be remonetized; (2) that the law fixing- January 1, 1879, for resuymption shall be repealed; and (3) that there shall be no contraction of the currency—no withdrawal of the greenbacks until a substitute in coin can be furnished. On these points there is an universal agreement among the people of Ohio, and it would nat.urally seem to be an easy matter to frame a party platform that would embrace these points. When the Republican Convention met at Cleveland, General Garfield was intrusted’ with the duty of preparing the :plat-Eior-m.- This gentleman had voted to demonetize silver, and was a prospective candidate for Senator. *lfe manufactured a resolution on the silver question which, if it had any meaning, was that silver should be remonetized, provided that there was metal enopgh put in the dollar to make it always equal to the value of gold, which val.ue, changing every day, would require a change in the weight of the dollar every day. Then the convention put into the platform an equivocal resolution about Communism, and Judge West made a speech 1o a Communist meeting which took the whole country by surprise, and which, from that day down to the night before the election, he vainly tried to explain, apologize for, defeat, or retract. i - The resolutions of the convention: said nothing about repealing the date for resumption. The merchants of Cincinnati almost unanimously declared their conviction that the Resumption law was an injury to the business of the country, dand demanded its repeal. The Cincinnatl Gazefte was strongly committed to this policy.— Secretary Sherman, however, was not content with running his resumption. policy at Washington with judicial blindness; he advertised his visitlargely, and rushed to Ohio to deliver a speech on the finances. And such a speech, to be delivered at such a time in Ohio! "From the beginning to end it was a speech declaring that he wagdetermined the Resumption law sho’d be. vigorously executed; that on the Ist of January, 1879, he would resume specie payments at the Treasury;that he knew he could do it, and that-he would .do it. The objections to such | a policy he did not eyen stop to dis- ‘ cuss; it was enough, it seemed to-him, ‘ to announce that he favored that policy, that he was confident of success, and that all other persons were to ac‘cept his wishes and his judgment as their own. This kind of a speech was very abgurd. The peopleof thiscountry do not take their political convie-" tions or faith in any man, and Mr. Sherman is not a man to inspire faith. This subject of resumption and confraction has been discussed in:Qhio now for several years, and it was idle i for Sherman to preach resumption in 1879 to the people of Ohio; on that‘ point they had firm convictions, not to be shaken by his appeals, unsupported | by reason or faets. The evil 'of this J Speech was that it had a semi-official tone; it was a sort of commiftal of the administration of the President to Sherman’s policy; and the evil was further aggravated by his refusal to say one word concerning the remonetization of silver, leaving the inference that hehad goneever, body and breech--es, to the operators for an exclusive’ golß enrreney. . s

Don’t Kill Your Town.

Next to the deep and abiding interest which every enterprising man has in his individual possession, is the pride and satisfaction he feels in seeing his town prosper and its people happy. 'Too many men, selfish in the extreme, are envious of their neighbors’s prosperity, and hence we see so many who patronize foreigh establishments for everything they need rather than buy at home and help their town. The articles that are bought in the city are so much better than those offered by home merchants. Their short-sight-edness does not permit them'te look ahead and see that their interests are identified with those about them, and with whom they are continually coming in contact in the every-day affairs of life. Now,it seems to us that when a man gets so elevated above the community in which he lives and is dependent upon for his support and business patronage, that he cannot get anything good enough for him:- without sending to some distant city or market for’it, he had better move. The community is better off without him, and his place could better be filled by some oné who would take sufficint interest in the'town in which he lives to do his trading at home, and thus keep the money he pays out in the community. It is no wonder that home manufacturing establishments and merchants frequently complain of dull times. We have right here in this town too much of this sending away for everything. It looks as if they labored to kill the town. If an article of furnjfure is needed, instead of going to our dealers, they must gend to the city for it—it sounds better to say, “we sent to Louiaville (or Cincinnati) for it,” If your wife wants a silk dress or nice shgwl, don’t go near the home dealer, but send your money to some foreign dealer and have it sent ‘to you by express; and of eourse your: wife will exhibit it to her neighbors and tell them where it came from, and that there was nothing in town that suited her fancy. So it is with a thousand different items that might be mentioned. In short, if you want. to kill a town and invite hard times to ‘your door, import everything you can and export as little as possible, If you would help y;;gmelfand those -about you, import as little as possible ‘and export as much as you can. Pat‘Tounize your home merchants and me‘chahics and see what a difference it ‘will make.—Salem Demoérat.

THE BOSS FARMER. What has Been Done this Year by One : ' Minnesota Farmer. .= Fargo, Mihad., Times,” .- ¢ 0l ‘We had the curiosity the other day -tc-ask Mr. Dalrymple what he expected the profits on his wheat crop would .be this year. He replied that at present prices for wheat his net profit would be about $lO per acre..: ‘As he is half owner of 75,000 ‘acres of wheat in the Red River Valley, and has 1,500 %cres on his: home farm at - Cottage -Grove, Minn., his profits this year may be safely put down at $50,000. . Mr.. Dalrymple has five steam-threshers ‘now at work on his 4,000-acre farm at Casselton, each one threshing an aver‘age of 1,000 bushels per day.’ The grain is hauled directly to the cars, as fast as threshed, and shipped to New: York, via Duluth and the lakes. Te loads and forwards fifteen cars each day. At 350 bushels to the car, the crop of this place will .make 257 car loads. The yxelﬁ;f;amwhat; has been threshed so far, is estimated at 90,000 bushels—an average of twenty-two and one-half bushels per acre. Addto this 85,000 on the Grandin farm, in which Mr. Dalrymple has a half interest, and which will average equally well, the two farms will produce 168;750 bushels of wheat this year. “Dalrymple Farm” isatract of about 11,000 acres of land near Casselton, twenty miles west of Fargo, on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad. It is owned by‘George W. Cass and P. B: Cheney; of New York, and Oliver Dalrymple,. the “Wheat King of Minnesota,” as he is termed. Twelve hundred acres were broken :in 1875 and sowed toi wheat last year. ° This year there are 4,000 acres in wheat—and a splendid crop it is, too—and 38,000 acres additional this season were . broken for seeding next year. s Mr, Dalrymple also owns a half interest in whatisknown as theGrandin Farm, a tract, of 40,000 acres, j%st north- of Elm river, in Trail county, Dakota, thirty-five miles north of Fargo. The other owners are the Grandin brothers, bankers, of Tidioute, Penn. On this farm there are 3,500 acres in wheat this year, and some 3,000 acres broken for next year. To harvestthis crop of 75,000 actes on the two places it required forty-two self-binding reapers, 225 horses: and mules, and nine steam threshers, each with a capacity of 1,000 bushels per day, are now at work threshingthe grain. - = -~

In addition to his interest in these two immense farms, Mr. Dalrymple owns 2,000, acres of land in Cottage Grove, Minn,, near St. Paul, 1,500 acres of which is in wheat, so that either as sole or half owner, Mr. Dalrymple is interested in 9,000 acres of wheat this year, which will be increased to 15,000 next year. We may add that it is the intention ©of the owners of these two huge farms to break on an average about 5,000 acres each year until the whole. 51,000 acres are under cultivation. They haveabundant.means,and the experiment so far has proved that it is not.impossible to make a better investment of money. This is the ge_cond year of the ‘_entexl')prise‘, andssg ar the net ;%%;gﬁ,pg; have been over $1 per acre each year for every year. -

Deadheading on Newspapers.

The ome Sentines rises 1o explain, and its language is plain, and is.asfollows: B iy There is no.other;business on which the public levies such heavy contributions as on the newspaper . publishing business. An organizatioy is getting up some kind of festivities, for example. It pays for the grounds, pays for music, pays for refreshments, gets $2 worth of tickets and $4 worth of bills printed either at a newspaper office or somewhere else, and then expects free advertising from the paper to an ‘extent actually worth from $2 or $3 to $lO. The mere announcement of & picnic, sociable, or festival is an advertisement and ought to be paid for.— The result is that a generous proportion of the profits of nearly all entertainments of this kind is money which rightfully belongs to newspaper publishers. Then, after the thing is over, the managers will come in with a long string of resolutions, with which to reb the publisher of more valuable space.. The truth is that spacein a newspaper represents money. It is worth money to the publisher, There is no more reason why he should give it away than why a metchant should give away his goods. Patt of the space of" the paper: is sold to business men for advertising purposes, the rest of the space is devoted to interesting reading matter. On the last the publisher depends for the attractions which shall sell his' paper. Either space represents cash to.him. Yet the business man who buys space to the amount of $2 often buys a gratuity of local space to the amount of $1 or $2, or even more. - The managers of festivals, pienics, or other home entertainments may not buy 1 cent’s worth of space, but all the same expect the free gift of several dollars’ worth of space. The politician, even though he forgets to keep his subscription paid up, demands column after ¢olumn of valuable space free; and rarely so much as thank you for it. Forall this the news‘paper man, taxed beyond any other ‘business man, enjoys the high distincton of being regarded as a deadhead by two-thirds of his neighbors. =

The Queen of the Sioux.

- When the Sioux delegation arrived in Washington, Mrs. Kelly, an emyloye of the patent office, went to the depot to see them. She stepped up to them, ‘addressed them in their own language, and was instantly surrounded by them, they showing the utmost delight at - ‘her presence. In answer to those who desired explanations of how she knew them and their language, Mrs. Kelly told her story. In 1864 she and -a little child, her niece, with five men, were on the prairies, going from Kan--sas to Idaho. Her husband had left them for a few moments to hunt a feeding place, when the Indians swooped down upon the little band in camp, killed three men, frightened the other away, and captured Mrs. Kelly and the child. These the Indians put on a horse and commenced a hasty retreat. The woman at once began dropping slips of paper by the wayside, ‘hoping thus to keep a frail. Ata fortunate moment she told the child to slip off the horse and hide in the Pprairie grass, and then begin to find ‘the way back to the camp by means of the strips of paper. The poor little thing was killed and scalped just before she got to a place of safety, and her hair dangled to a chieftain’s bow . the next time she saw it. She was never subjected to bodily indignity, and thus the worst torture was spared her, but she was twice condemned to death by burning at the stake, but saved by the kindness of an Indian warrior. Jumping Bear fell in love ‘with her, but' she reasoned with him until he permitted her to go about the camp'unmolested. Her hushand was never idle, but tried by every possible means to save her, but could not find a clue to her whereabouts. ‘He, however, made such a fuss that the Indians became frightened and knew that they would be forced to give her up. They then determined to take her to Fort Sully, get the commander: to open the gates and then rushin and massacre the garrison. Mrs. Kelly was nearly frantic. She knew the In- . dians were gathering in full force, and she made up her mind to make a trial to save her friends in the fort. Here Jumping Bear’s love for her became her last recourse, and: she called him to her and told him that she was going to renounce her nation and her white husband, but she wanted to send one last’ letter to the fort, and Jumping ‘Bear must take it. He was reluctant. She insisted, telling him Mr. Kelly would have done as much, but no one loved her now, This decided the Indian lover, and he took the letter of warning and saved the fort, and Mrs. Kelly was restored to her husband.— ‘Congress gave her $5,000 for her services to the government, and she being now a widow has a place in the custom house. But the Indians beg her to return with them; promise her horses, honors and lands, and that they ‘will make her “queen of the Sioux.”

What Forced Resumption Will Do. Fxtract from a speech by Gen. Tom Ewing. The great money power— the worst legacy of the war—intend by this .scheme of forced resumption to make gold the sole measurer and payer of debts, publi¢ and private—to increase the bonded debt by refunding the greenbacks—%o concenffate in a few great banks, in money centers, the absolute control over the volume and movements of the currency, so as to make hard times and good times at their pleasure, and fatten on the unwary maultitude at every turn of the = tide—to contract the currency for the ‘next few years to the smallest possible ‘measure, 80 that the twelve billions of dollars the people now owe will buy twenty-four or thirty-six billions, /in former values, of the people’s labor and products-—to crush out the myriad of smaller industries heretofore successfully maintained, by combining the energy and talent of men of small--er means with money borrowed-of non- - producers--to confiscate the real prop--erty of debtors, and bring it into fewer ; and stronger hands-—to pauperize labor, so that the money power will en- * slave and use it, with no further cost ‘than enough wages to keep the machine of the laborer’s body in good order—and finally, by means of the im- - ‘mense concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, to realize the policy of the 9&l‘l{ federalists, - which isst:bnfge,r since the war than ever before, of making this government a strong, centralized aristocracy. o' Luther Bensonin Hlinois. =~ .
