,T „WITH man}* men a taste of political ^ofece bdldiitg creates an appetite that is seldom cured. This received an illus f-i tratiou this week in Bismarok, South

Dakota, where after a clerk in the United States land office bad.resigned, the position was accepted by a- man who had been governor.of the state, but who wa* willing to take the position at a salary of a thousand dollars a year.

THE Indiana legislator who accused his fellow representative# of beinginflu encerl hv tJm dontmits of a whiskey barrel, which ho -tnred in tin* basement of ibe Ate hi»u*e for..tba* purpose, and then apol zed for il when it was proved t- be lie, hasn't many of the uiiaraoterUMcsi of the illustrious maa whose name he bears. The original Andy never surrendered.

WHEN a Hoosier starts out to break a record you can count on bim doing it thoroughly. An Indiau-a man living near Yankton, N. D., is the father of twenty seven children, of whom the eldest is but thirteen years old. The family is made up of triplets, and eight of the sets are boys. That man has followed the scriptural injunction in a manner that should win bim distinction, euf.

THE defaulting Btate treasurer of Arkansas, who stole over $300,000 of the peoples' money, has just been'given a sentence of one year in the penitentiary lor his crime. Leaving put Sundays, when even a state prisoner escapes work, this would make him a salary of nearly a thousand dollars a day for his services for the state. There are many harder ways of making money than in stealing from the people.

As was expected, the Mexican mission did not fall to an Indiana man, to succeed the late Minister Gray. Senator M. W. Ransom,of North Carolina, whose term expires to-morrow, and who will be suooeded by Populist, was the lucky man. He ha- a 'uator since 1872, and during the trou--es between- the president and his opponents if his party has been a steadfast supporter of the administration. It looks as if all the president's supporters who went down in the defeat of last fall will be provided with places before the 4th ,of March, 1897.

THH whirligig of time brings wondrous obanges, but in no man's life did It bring as many as in that of the late Frederick Douglass, whose funeral in Washington this week was one of the most notable events in that city of wonderful events. In 1637 he was hunted through the streets and alleys of New York like an escaped felon. The day after his death bts Widow received a most urgent request" that his body might be allowed to lie in state in the governor's chamber in the munioipal building of that oity, like President Lincoln's and General Grant's.

ACCORDING to a recent statement of the pension department Indiana is the fourth state in the anion, in thi total amount received by its pensioners. Ohio stands tirst with a pension roll of $14,800,090, Pennsylvania eeoond with 113,500,000, New York third with fl2,000,000, and Indiana fourth with 10,000,000. Illinois with a larger population than this state receives $10,200,000. Another ourtoun fact shown by this statement is that Kansas with a population of 1,427, 096, by the last census, has a larger pension roll than Massachusetts, with her population of 2,238,943. When the war, broke out Massachusetts had a pcrpula tlon of 1,230,000 and famished 152,000 soldiers, while Kansas had a population of only 110,000 and furnished 20,000 men

Thk congressional apportionment aot that has passed the Indiana House, and has been agreed upon in oaucus, so that its passage In the Senate is assured, pats Vigo county into a district that is reason ably sore of being Repablloan. It is oomposfd of the counties of Morgan Hendricks, Putnam, Clay, Vigo, Parke, Vermilfton, and will be known as the Seventh district. The net Repablloan majority in these counties in the last election was 4,666, the only oounty that was carried by the Democrats being Putnam, and that by a pfurallty of 180. In 1892 the same counties were carried by the Republicans by a net plurality of 778, which is evidence that the district is sorely Republican. Some of the other oongressmen-elect did not fare so well as our home candidate, the Democratic pluralities against them in their new districts being so large that no Republican oan evet hope to be elooted. Mr. John son of the present Sixth dlstriot is put

terre

into the same dlstrid* with Mr, Watson, of the present Fourfh, tbu number of the hew district being the Fifth, '^tie same Action has been token with Mr. Hatch, of the Tenth and Mr. Hanley, of h® Ninth, tvho are put in the new Ninth. The new apportionment will, of oonrse, have to stand the test of the oourts, for the Democrats have maintained all the time that no legal apportionment bill can be passed by this legislature. It will take some time to test the new law, and by the time the courts Lave finally passed on it there will be a new legislature. The new law is looked upon as being much fairer than the present one, as under the letter the Republicans, exoept in the event of a landslide oould not possibly expect to eleot mbre than two or three congressmen,

A FORMER minister of Terre Haute has become the "living picture" of the New York pulpit, Rev. Madison 0. Peters. He is just sensational enough to attraot notoriety, not vulgar enough to be obsoene, and he succeeds in attracting crowds. Last Sunday he took for the subject the approaohing marriage of Miss Anna Gould to Count Castellene, and he talked about It In a way to disgust deeeilt people, who gather from what ha* been published about the marriage that it is a love matob—-and certainly riohes should not be a bar to love matches The sermon created a sensa tion, however, and this was what the preacher desirad. Among other things, this sensationalist said that "suoh a marriage is far from respectable. It may take place in high sooiety, but it is high sooiety turned low. The pagan pomp and vulgar outlay with which it may be celebrated only furnish the mask that covers the mookery the mockery which invariably taunts the misery in the end." It will strike the average reader that the revereud gentleman is a meddler 16 something that doesn't conoorn him, and a meddler, too, for notoriety, pure and simple. It is astrange thing if such sermons as this can bring sinners to repentance.

The oivlo federation of Chicago having accomplished a great many reforms, has undertaken to legislate some purity into the politi-s of that city—something that is evidently greatly needed. A bill has been introduced into the state legislature, which if it becomes, a law and is enforced^ will be hailed with delight by the men who are hereafter candidates. It is known as the "corrupt practice" bill, and atiiong other provisions it forbids any candidate for pub-, lie office to expend any money in aidfbf his nomination except for his personal expenses. Personal expenses are de fined to be those 1 nodi-red Vn traveling^, for preparing, and circulating panted matter, for telegrams and

ytelephony,

messages and for public messengers,, all. such expenses being limited, however, to those directly incurred and paid by the candidate. A candidate is forbidden to promote his nomination by promising offices. He may give to political campaign committees, but not more than five per cent, of the salary of the office to which he aspires. These committees are given a leg?il standing. They are requfr*? to'fil-' sworn statements of the amount rec-.ved ind from whom received a as to how the money was expended, and no candidate is allowed to have his name printed upon the official ballot until he has signified the political committee which1shall Jiave charge of

THE life of Cecil Rhodes, premier of Cape Colony in south Afrl .a, recalls some of the wild stretches of Rider Haggard's imagination. He has been Called the uncrowned king of South Africa, ind it is said his boundlessambition will never be satisfied until he has been orowned as rqler of that vast oountry, ove? whloh he seemingly has full sway, Many times he has boldly defied the parent government, and It is not beyond the pale of possibility that he may jdeclare independence of Great Britain d»l establish aln empire with hfftiayil #0% ruler. He is about forty years old, t^e son of an English dlergynba^ kfc'dj'ie went to South Africa about 'tne time the diamond disooverles at' Klmberly set the world agog. His sucoess as a diamond digger gave him the title Of the •'diamond king," to which may yet be 9dded that of an aotualking. It w^ his efforts to further the interests of a ijommercial company of whioh he is1 the nominal head -that led to the war that resulted in the death of the plctureeque King Lobengula, and the extermination of his people, the Matabeles. With the English, French, Germans and Portugese adding each year a little more, territory iu that practically unknown country, it will not be so very poany jpears until the original inhabitants will, find themselves In the position of our Arperi-, can Indians, intruders and intprto^rs where once they held full and undfljput ed sway.
