ERKE HAUTE. INI)., OCT. 20, 1894.

THB letter that Mr. Hill has been look* ing for from Mr. Cleveland "has not yet came." It is probably in the dead'letter office.

THE train robbers have opened their fall season and thus far have met with enorm6us success. The new tariff law evideutly has not interfered with this branch of industry.

IF the "'best citizens" of Kentucky en gage in lynching bees, as we are told by the press reports, it would be interesting to know what the every day occapa tion of her worst citizens is.

THE mills of the gods grind slow, but they grind exceeding fine. An old soldier in Kansas has received notice that his pension for a bad shell wound went into effect one day too soon and that he has owed the government 54 cents for fifteen years and that 91.72H will be deducted out of hit next aHow a nee.

IT sounds a trifle like "carrying the war into Africa "to h*ve Governor McKiuley Importuned to goto New Orleans to make a speech for protection. A few years ago, even in the last campaign, the absurdity of such a proceeding would have been apparent, but now the Louisiana sugar planters who are after him insist that his coming will ensure the election of three Republican con gressman. The latter assertion may be taken, however, with several large-sized grains of allowanca. Party lines are no doubt chanjcin^, but bardly enough to bring about such an event.

CHICAGO'S henrt will be broken if the "Greater New York"scbeme isapproved by the voters of the interested cities in the election next month. If the annex ation plan carries the Greater New York will have an area of 317 square miles, or nearly twice as large as Chicago, which has an area of 185 square miles. The Chicago aldermen will have to get their heads together and annex two or three hundred square miles of outlying prairie if they expect to keep ahead of the New Yorkers, and it is likely they will prove equal to the emergency, even if they have to come over into Indiana and tack on a few square mile®.

THE governor of Florida has declared that the fight between Corbett and Fitzsimrnons shall not take place in the everglade state, if he has to call a special session of the legislature to enact special laws against it. Ho made substantially the same declaration about the CorbettMitchell fight, but it was fought just the same, and that will probably be the result in the next big fight. When Indiana's governor finally made op his mind to stop prize fighting in the Hoosier state he stopped it, and that without a special legislative session. There is a difference between some Governors, and not many can get the best of our own Governor Matthews.

THE safe, conservative speeches made by Mr. Harrison during his recent trip through the state, have done more to strengthen him in the good graces of his fellow citizens than a dozen campaigns of hurrah. It is beginning to dawn upon those who have opposed hint that he is a greater man than they have given him credit for being—A man whose capacity for public utterances is not confined to a single topic, and whose ability to discuss all subjects becomes re apparent wlth.every public appearance. He does not profess to be a great "I am," and hi* disposition to discard the pronoun, "I" is considered remarkable for a man in .position to use it so admirably as he.

His modesty is as great as his ability, and modesty is not always a marked characteristic of public men.

LAST Saturday's issue of the Daily Tribune, of South Bend, was a brilliant testimonial to the energy and ability of the ladles of that enterprising city who are Interested In charitable and benevo« lent work. They are arranging, thus far in advance of winter, for raising means to care for the tn*wfy and suffering, and some time ago tne proprietor of the Tribune offered to turn his paper over to them one day, and allow them to make out of it all they could. Saturday's paper was the result of their ofPorts, and it is a tribote to their enterprise. The ladies wrote editorials, locals, pergonals and feature articles, solicited advertisements, and in fact did all of the countless things that go to make up one day 'a issue of a dal ly ue w* paper, Tbey did it well, too, and

lb"v

have every

reason to feel proud of the product of their labors, The paperinteresting to read, and from a financial standpoint is fair to look upon* fort* r»y bristles with advertisements. Thoy will no doubt realize a handsome amount as the result of their energy and the liberality of the Tribune proprietor, and when they spend the

money

this winter in the

•sK,

splendid oauaefor which they labored, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that every oenfc of it was earned by their own unaelflsh efforts.

A FEW years ago it WAS thought that the solution of the trouble with Indian agents bad been found in the appointment of offieere of the regular army. It was thought that aa they held their positions regardless of political parties, the buHineaa of the ageneiea would be handled in a more methodical manner, and that better nervlce would be secured at less expense. After a thorough trial however, the war department haa become satisfied that the experiment ia failure, and will relieve the officers assigned to that duty aa fast as the Indian bureau can furnish civilian agents. The reasons assigned for the change are that the detailing of array officers for that service tends to make thearmy unpopular I if an offioer is zealous in protectiug the in terest of the government and of the In dians, and, that it is bad practice to sepai ate an officer from his command for a long term and impose upon him duties foreign to proper military service

FEW persons have any idea of 'the ex tent of the pension list of this govern ment, and some very interesting infor mation is given in the annual report of the commissioner of pensions. At the end of the last fiscal year there were 969,544 names on this roll of honor, and the amount paid to these pensioners was $139,804,460. The list of those entitled to pedsions is materially decreasing, how ever, as shown by the reduotion in the number of new claims. In 1891 there were 363,799 new claims filed, while last year there were only 40,184. One hundred and forty millions of dollars seems a large amount of money to pay out in one year for pensions, but if every dol lar of the government's was as well and justly spent as these thei-e would be IOSB scandals connected with every depart meut. There is a certain olass in every community that takes a delight in con demning any pension system, and takes a still greater pleasure in abusing the old soldiers, whom they term "coffee coolers" and "bummers," but fortunately the class is small and without influence, .1'

DAVID SWING'S congregation in Chicago has deoided not to make the effort to continue the Central Music hall services. There was a membership of 2,500 and it was held together solely by Professor Swing's personality. Other men could be found, no doubt, of equal ability but the professor's following was a peculiar one and the congregation wisely concluded to let his funeral be the climax of the nineteen years' life of the congregatlou. The man was worshiped quite as much as the divinity he preached .because his life was entirely consistent with his gospel of truth and good will. The congregation is a pe culiar one, composed of people from all localities in the big city. It is said that barely two members lived in the same block. There was nothing of a social character to bold the congregation together. The "church fair" was unknown and amateur theatricals never suggested. It was the very opposite of the average church in all respects. Professor Swing appealed to the intelligence and con science he was not the governor of a club.

THE HIGHEST OF HONORS

To Dr. Price's at the Great Fairs. Chicago Tribune. For leavening power, keeping qualities, purity and general excellence the World's Fair jury decided that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder bad no equal. On each of its claims it was awarded a first prize or a diploma. All the baking powders entered for prizes were subjected to a most exhaustive examination, and the jury was the best equipped to make the decision of any ever got together. Their verdict was supported by the testimony of Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. Dr. Wiley is an expert on food products and the highest authority on such matters in America. This verdiot settles a long debated question as to which among the many baking powders is the best.

NOTE—Since the foregoing was published the World's Fair triumph has been confirmed by Highest Award and Gold Medal at the California Midwinter Fair.
