Our Sister Republics. The President of the Argentine Republic is chosen for six years, and reseives an annual salary of $36,000. The French President receives a salary of $120,000, a house to live in, and allowances amounting to $120,000 more, his term of office is seven years, and he may be re-elected. The President of the Swiss Republic is elected from the seven Federal Councilors (who serve three years), and serves as President for_ one year, receiving a £ alary of $2,700. He may be re-elected at an interval of one year. The President of Mexico is paid $49,977 each year, and serves four years; he may be re-elected now, General Diaz, the present President, having had the Constitution altered to permit him to serve. He is now serving his fourth term. Troubles Threatening the Kidneys, Although they are grievous and very often fatal if disregarded, may be prevented by a timely resort to that admirable safeguard of health, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a genial promoter of activity in the renal organs, the stomaeh and the liver. Ere inaction of the kidneys develops into Bright's disease, dia- | betes, or other dangerous disorders, recourse should be had to the Bitters. If this suggestion is followed, the happiest outcome of the earlier symptoms may be anticipated with I confidence. Check a development of these maladies at the outset by the means indicated, since at their maturity they are hard indeed to conquer. Dyspepsia, rheumatism insomnia, nervousness,constipation, malarial complaint's i are eradicated by the Bitters, a medicine of i comprehensive use and prompt effects. How a Dog Helped Sentries. Some of the dogs that have taken up their quarters with v; rions rog-iments in the British army have shown as great a degree of intelligence as any dog brought up in the midst of more peaceful surroundings. During the Crimean War. for example, there was a dog* that went the round of the sentries every night. If it found a man asleep at his post, it ' waited beside him, and, on the ap- ] proach of danger or of something that ’ wanted looking into, instantly aroused : him. If the sentinel was awake, how- I ever, the wise creature passed on to the next, until it had completed the circle of its visits. Jayne’s Expectorant is both a palliative and curative in all Luu,; Complaints, Bron- j Chitis, etc. It is a standard remedy for : Coughs and Colds, and needs only a trial to ! prove its worth.

Ue Offers Defense for His Course In Pension Matters—Starvation Stalks Abroad in Michigan and Wisconsin —Comptroller of Currency Makes Report. Interior Department Report. Washington dispatch: Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, in his annual report reviews the work of all

j mote settlement and develop the natural resources of the public lands. Legislation providing for a wise and comprehensive forestry system is recommended. The Secretary discusses iat length the opening of the Cher- । okee outlet. He says the hardships I incurred by applicants was an unavoid- । able result when so large a crowd, far in excess of the land to be obtained, was preparing to rush madly upon it. Rofnrwrnjr-to the Cherokee Indian allotments, the Secretary states that h 6 sought unsuccessfully to dissuade those representing the Indians from seeking to select town sites for speculative purposes. In order to defeat the plans of the Indian speculators he approved the allotments made, but fixed town ’ site? in such away as to thwart their j schemes. The Secretary recommends । the passage of legislation to protect ■ the people not settled in these towns from this discrimination. The work cl’ the Indian Bureau shows that they are steadily advancing in civilization. Tribal wars and wars with the whites having ceased, they are increasing, and there are now more than 250,000. i The payment of Indian depredation I claims is deemed a subject of grave i consideration. Under the existing j laws the appropriations intended for 1 the support of these Indians will be : consumed by the payment of these ! claims, and a second appropriation will j be necessary to meet their needs, so j that the payment of these claims will i eventually devolve upon the Govern- | ment. It is estimated that these claims i will absorb many millions of dollars, and the policy of subjecting the Treasury to this strain is questioned. The recent troubles in the Choctaw Nation

are touched upon at length. The Secretary urges the prompt passage of the bill now pending before Congress extending the jurisdiction of the United States in Indian Territory in order to include the right of rem )val of all cases, where local prejudice is shown without regard to citizenship. Upon the subject of pensions the Secretary calls attention to the great amount saved to the Government by the stoppage of 1 ayment of pensions in Norfolk, Va., New Mexico, and lowa. Where it was thought that the pensions could not be sustained, and another medical examination was necessary, payment of the pensions was susmissioner of Pensions in pursuance of the uniform practice of the bureau, existing almost from its early organization. It was found that many thus suspended were able to Supply the proof when notice to that effect was given. Payment to there was at once resumed.” Referring to the work of the Census Office, the Secretary states: “I now feel all confidence that every effort is being conscientiously made to bring the census to a close and to render it as useful as possible when finished.”! It is intimated that the appropriation ! now available will be sufficient to meet J the expenses up to Feb. 1, but that ad- 1 ditional appropriations to the amount ! of $500,000 will be necessary to continue the work from that time In closing the report the Secretary stated that in the estimate of expenditures for the department a great majority of the proposed improvements were rejected, only those actually necessary for the conduct of public business being adopted. ECKELS MAKES REPORT. What the Comptroller of the Currency Says to Congress. The annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency, which was submitted to Congress more briefly than the report usually made by that officer, differs from former reports in that no tables appear in the body of the taxt. It shows 3,796 national banks to have been in operation at the close of the report year, with a capital stock of $695,558,120, repierented by 7,450,000 shares held by 300,000 shareholders. At the last report of condition the total resources of the banks then in operation were $3,109,563,284.36. The total amount of circulation was Oct. 31, $209,311,993, a netincrea-e during the year of $36,886,972. During the year 119 banks were organized in thirty-two States and Territories, with iv ou>pltu>l bU ok of $11,230,000, distributed as follows: Forty-four, with a capital stock of $5,135,000, in the eastern States: fortyone, with a capital stock of $2,340,0(0, west of the Mississippi River, and thirty-four, with a capital stock of $3,775,000, in the central and southern States. Within the same period 158 banks suspended, with a capital stock of $30,300,600. Os this number eightysix. with a capital stock of $18,205,000, resumed, and sixty-five passed into the hands of receivers, with a capital stock of $10,885,000. At the close of the year seven remained in the charge of examiners pending resumption. The aggregate liabilities Oct. 3, 1893, the date of i the: last report of condition, compared i with those of Sept. 30, 1892, were S4OO,- I 531,613 less. The shrinkage in liabilities I is accounted for by a decrease between i the dates mentioned in the following 1 items: Capital stock, $8,032,677; in-I dividual deposits, $314,298,658: and • bank and bankers’ deposits, $181,338,- I 125. The decrease in resources is as ' । follows: Lc ans and discounts, $327.- j 1 406,926; stocks, etc., $5,965,564, and J due from banks and bankers, $132,051,654. Cash of all kinds increased $36,968,606, including $8,410,815 in gold.

United States bonds held for all poses increased $40,601,250. 1' J The suspension of nati<" during the year is diseusscW^.. t ” that of resumption. Upon the quesL , n of resumption the Comptroller sr s . “With a full knowledge of the gene* solvency of the institutions and causes which brought about their s s _ pension, the policy was inaugurated of giving all banks which under ordim .y circumstances would not have clos< f and whose management had been h( >. est, an opportunity to resume business. This policy was one which seemed td commend itself to the Comptroller as proper to pursue under the circumstances, and it is believed the results have justified the experiment of its adoption. WISCONSIN MINERS STARVING. Without Work. Money or Food in a Wild Mountain Region. It was a cheerless Thanksgiving Day on the great Gogebic range of iron minors, where 5,000 able-bodied miners —Finns, Cornishmen, Austrians, Italians, Boles and Irishmen —with 15,000 women and children dependent upon them are out of work. There is no money, there is little food and less clothing, and until the people of the State resounded to Gov. Peck’s appeal for aid, these 20,000 miserable folks were suffering all the horrors of starvation. . . , \ For many years, until last spring, the ’ great iron mines of this region have been working full blast. Those were • days of prosperity and the miners were tin h with money. This spring the If A STREET IN THE STRICKEN DISTRICT, mine owners were forced by overproduction to shut dowm the mines. Iron ore lay piled all about and there was no one to buy. One by one the great iron mines of the Gogebic range reeled up their hoisting- cables until not a pit in th® whole range was working. Then the miners did not know which way to-) turn. Not one of them had a penny saved for such a day. Some of them had cut wood from neighboring forests and others had raised potatoes to erth during the winter. But the majority of these hardy men were left destitute when the mine superintonderits adnounced that the pits would not be worked for an indefinite period. It is no exaggeration to state that 1,000 children on the Gogebic range are to-day without food, clothing or shoes except for the limited supply forwarded by charitable people elsewhere. And these poor creatures do not belong to miners alone. For years and years hundred? of men have been chopping wood in the black forests to the north and south for the big furnaces at Hurley, Ironwood, Bessemer, Saxon and Ashland. When the mines shut down these woodmen were ordered I to stop work, and thus .'OO or^more men weie forced to return t^^poi'. - homes and await the whfstles and bells of thv ~ annouuce-wo* opening of the'Jis. s 4 has been six months sin» 0 th<r>o w ^ffe (f the Gogebic range w ere vhacked uy, the picks of the men who etiwnd round in the snow and biting wirjds and wonder whether it's to be beets or, potatoes that the good wife is to cook nt noon. The little children running about the bare floors cannot answer the que tion. for the cold wind from' the broken windows drives them into, corners and makes them talk aboutthe I stockings they should be wearing and : the shoes father can not buy. । Relief committees at Ironwood, Hurley. Bessemer and Ashland are doing । all in their power to relieve the dis- ; tress, but they are scarcely able to take care of so great a charge. It is not probable that the minoe on the range will be opened this winter. This means that 2 ',OOO people must be taken care of if the graveyards in that stormswept section of Wisconsin and Michigan are not to be crossed and recrossed by the black hearses of the village livery. Then, too, the doctors say that typhoid fever has broken out in settlements along the snow-capped range and that the broken picket fences of the graveyards must be drawn farther ; away if the dead are to be kept within | the inclosures.

The almost embassador denies the charge that he furnished $50,000 to the Democratic campaign fund—he says the sum was smaller —or that for such a reason his name had been sent to the Senate. In his letter to Van Alen urging him to reconsider his refusal to accept the embassadorship, Mr. Cleveland says: I did not select you for nomination to the Italian mission without satisfying myself of your entire fitness for the place. lam now ■ better convinced of your fitness than ever. Yon know, and I know, that all the malignant i criticism that has been indulged in regarding I the appointment has no justification, and that i the decent people who have doubted its proi priety have been misled, or have missed the ' actual considerations upon which it rests.

THE HIGHEST AWARD. Royal Baking Powder Has All the Honors —ln Strength and Value 20 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest Competitor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class —greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined —wherever exhibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years,at the Centennial, at Pari?, Vienna, and at the various State and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Dak mg Powder the highest honors. At the recent World’s Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards were directed by the chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington. The chief ehemist’s. official report of the tests of the baking powders, which was made for the specific p :rp; so of ascertaining which was the best, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be ICO cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Os the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the next highest in strength tested contained but 133 cubio inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of Jill the other te ts. Its superiority in TS.her respects, however, in the quality rX the food it makes as to fineness, detimey and wholesomeness, could not be easured by figures. jj^lt is these high qualities, known and ,appreciated by the women of the coun- . o'y for so many years, that have caused ■ % sales of the Royal Baking Powder, *. ^j’ttmvnTSy statistics, to exceed the of all other baking powders comU 3ied. • Charity Begins at Home, wonder whether selfishness in- * Mases or decreases among the poor. We rather think the former is the case, and is due, first, to an increasing consciousness which exaggerates selfpity into a disease; and, secondly, to the perfectly marvelous development of pity lor poverty as the most hopeless of all misfortunes. Formerly the lame, the maimed, and the blind were, as in Biblical times, and in the East still, the grand objects of charity; but now it is always the very poor, so that a hospital may appeal in vain where a paper describing a streetful of pecuniary want will inetantly elicit a response. The poor are still wondrously kind to one another, but we fancy they take aid with less gratitude and more of a sense of right than they did. Certainly their advocates demand it for them with much more of that tone, and with much more forgetfulness that involuntary charity is not a virtue at all, but only a form of submissiveness to extortion. “God loveth a cheerful giver”—not the man who has been slanged by evening papers into an unwilling gift, paid, in tact, as a kind of ransom from obloquy or importunity. It is certain that the bitter dislike for foreign poverty increases; that the starving, if they are foreigners driven here by stress of poverty, are regarded with angry an'ipathy, and that there! it more of a demand that charity should ! begin and end at home. The new feel- | ing is particularly marked in America, j where the “asylum of the universe” j idea, so long chert-bed, is now a sub- - ject not only of rebuke but ridicule, ! and it is devdopi’ g itself strongly also among ourselves.

A cow answering the description of either of the two animals was purchased by a farmer not long since. The bereaved men heard of the purchase and each claimed tl « animal and presented proof equally, convincing. The case came up before a judge and the jury heaid the evidence, but as the witnesses for each party described the same cow they were unable to give a decision. Then the judge said he would turn the cow out on the green. It she went toward the negro's farm she should be his. if she went toward Shield's farm she should be his. The cow was turned out. but she found the grass so satisfying that she went neither way.

W——mm ■■ mil m “ w She Cleaned It. , “Os course it’s all very well to keep up with the times, an’ know all the new improvements an’ so on, but I reckon there’s one thing that don’t*change much from year to year, an’ that is common sen *e,” remarked Miss Becky Armstrong, briskly. “Well, you’re one that oughj to know about that, if anybody does,” remarked Mrs. Hanson, generously. “Thank you’ I calc'late to keep some by mo as long as I can,” said Miss Becky, in graceful acknowledgment; “an’ now I'll tell you what made me think of it. You must know that my niece Jenny, that I’ve been visitin’ down to Boston, had a sweet pretty spotted muslin dress in her truezuo — that's what they call the weddin’ outfit—an’she wore it out walkin’ vi a । her husband one afternoon before I ’ went there, an’ got some kind of a l dark-brown, blackish spot on it. “Well, it appears that she tried lemon juice herself, an’ it didn't take out the stain, an' then she consulted with one an’ another, an’ everybody told her somethin’ new to do. Ono told her it was an ink spot, an’ she'd better try rubbin’ sal’ratus on it; another said ’twas wheel grease, an’ she must rub it with ammonia, an' so it went on. “When she showed it to me, you nevei’ saw such a lookin’ sight as that spot was. ‘Have you tried soap and water?’ I asked her, an' she said, ’Why, no, what good would that do?’ “I didn't say much, but I whipped that skirt into a basin, an’ give it a good scrubbin’ in soap-suds, an’ when I took it out the dark stain was gone, sn’ the water looked pretty black.

Unless strict measures are taken in the immediate future the native fauna of Victoria will soon become extinct. The reiterated complaint to the customs department is that of “wanton destruction.” Such unique specimens as the platypus and the lyre bird are already very rare, and, if the present state of things continues, their total disappearance will be a matter of but a few years. The police have frequently reported the fact of lyre birds having been shot in the ranges, and also the sale of the tails, but, through inability to prove the actual killing of the birds, they have not succeeded in having offenders punished. The Royal Acclimatization Society has now addressed the Minister of Trade and Customs on the subject, and points out that in one shop alone in Melbourne twenty lyre birds’ tails have been displayed for sale at ore time, and that as the hens lay as a rule only one egg each in the season, the pre-ent rate of destruction must soon extinguish the species. It is further mentioned that the bird ha? an inveterate enemy in I the fox, and that sixteen tails were ro- ! cenily found n *ar a fox's lair in the ! ranges. Protection should certainly • be afforded to the lyre bird and the i platypus, and even tho kangaroo, unless he is also to become extinct. —Melbourne Argus. Napoleon's Bad Table Manners.
