Tun Harrlsburg (1'a. ( ) Patriot says :
"Mr. Van Wyck , of Nebraska , calla a
epido a apndo. flo nleo Booma to know a
land-grabber when ho noes ono. "
SENATOU VAN WYCK eontinuea to make
It very uncomfortable for Mr. Teller ,
who , however , with an audacity worthy
of n bolter courac , endeavora to slitlen
up hij "Backbone" business.
THE trade dollarn arc pouring hito the
mintn at 34 cents aplcco. The holders
have become tired of waiting for the gov
ernment to redeem them.
WHAT la the lieputilican trying to do
now. Is it trying to go back on Its on-
dora3mont of Mr. Boyd ? It strikes ua
that that paper ia simply laying the foun
dation for ouch n stop.

Qov. DAWES la In Now Orleans. This
accounts for tbo appearance of KU picture
In the World's Exposition Daily. The
governor is no doubt regarded as one o
Nebrasfea'd greatest products by the ad
miring people of the Crescent City.
THE demand for pojtoflicea ia some
thing remarkable. During three day
recently 2,200 applications wore received
at Washington by mail. It la really a
pity that every democrat cannot have nn
ofilco.
OOUNTEHFEITEUH have struck a new
vein. They are recolnlng naif dollar
from trade-dollars , the profit being $24 50
per hundtod. The half-dollars are o
good coin , being Identical in alzo , weigh
and composition with these issued from
the mint. The profit is made on the difference
foronco In the market values of the trad
and standard dollars. It cnrtainly is an
Ingenious way of disposing of the trad
dollars.
THERE is no nso trying to disguise th
fict that thcra is a bitter fooling exlstin
between McDonald end Hendricks
McDonald has gene to Washington to BE
what can bo done towards scalping Hen
drhks , and bringing him to time In regard
gard to Indiana appointments. Th
democratic Hooaiors are becoming impa
tioat and don't want the pnV.u dhtribu
tlon to bo'pDstponod any longer.
How about that two-mllo prohibitor
bolt ? Why do not the officers of tb
law put an end to the illicit Hqucr traffl
that is being carried on within that terr
tory ? It certainly is not fair to compo
aloon koopen to pay $1,000 license jus
vrithln the city llm'.ts , and allow other
to aoll without license simply because the
are located a short distance outside of th
city boundary The law can bo enforced
and every person violating it oupht to b
punished. No saloons should be per
iiilttcd to run within the two-mllo bolt.
THE appointment of Miller for con
ntlsalonerof internal revenue is not at a
pleasing to Mr. Wattorson , of the Louie
vlllo Courier-Journal , who made a vig
orous fight In behalf of Phil , Thompson
The appointment , It la claimed , was mad
at the dictation of Randall , and wl
therefore bo regarded aa a victory of tha
gentleman over Oarllilo , It virtually
to Randall the
gives appointment an
control of all the collectors and anbordi
nates In the country , This is certainly a
great power , and had Thompson boon ap
pointed Mr. Carlisle nould have had i
all In his hands
own , Wattorjon an
nounces that ho Is not prepared to accep
the defeat of Thompson nj a declaration
of war by the president upon the friend
of revenue reform and whether this ia
victory of Randall over Carlisle la aquea
IS 4 tion that dependi upon future develop
menta. If Cleveland allies himself wit !
Randall , says Mr. Wattorson , it will InVolve
Volvo a hopoleu split of the democratic
oerUinly looks as if the split had
peon putty well started , but Mr. Walter
son proposes to await with equanimity th
coutaa of events.
FRIENDS OF THE INDIANS.
The redskins of the United Slates have
oucd ttaunch friends in the "Indian
lights Aiscciation , " an organization i
omposod principally of eastern phllan-
iropista , whoso object ia to civilize the
mericfin "savages , " and to 'otherwise
> rotcct and promote their interests pro-
taratory to "their absorption Into the
ommun life of our own pooplo. " Accord-
ng to the annual report of the executive
ommlttco of the association there are In
tie United States nearly three hundred
lioiuand Indians. The ataociation aims
o secure for the Indian law , education ,
ml protected titles to land , It believe *
hat these are the three fundamental
rlnclplcs npon which the civilization of
ho Indian rests , and to accomplish the
loslred results the aid and co-
> peration of congress are necessary ,
and the sympathies of a largo number of
imiuont senators and congressman have
teen enlisted in the causo. The associa-
ion has gene to work earnestly and ays-
cmatically. Anxllllary associations are
olng organized In the principal cities and
owns of the country , and are kept in
ilose communication with the board In
'hlladolphlo , which furnishes them with
nformation nponaH'jmportant events and
[ uostlona concerning the work of the as-
ociatlon , and tluu they are en
abled to enlighten the public npon
ndlau affaire , and to bring a direct influence -
once to bear upon tholr representatives in
congress. Thirteen auxiliary associa
tions hava been formed within the past
, 'ear. The association has been active
during the past twelve months in the
> at work for which it has
made Itself responsible. Under
ta auspices journeys of In
vestigation have bson made to the In
dian country , and lar o numbers of pub-
Icatiocs containing valuable Information
javo boon issued. In addition the asso
ciation has given much attention to legia-
ation &nd legal matters. In the way ol
congressional legislation the sssaclation
iaa been active hi urging the passage oi
a bill for the division of the Siouxrasorv-
ation in Dakota into separata reservations
and for the rolicquisbmant of the Indian
; ltle to the remainder ; also in urging the
Coke bill , providing for the allotment o :
.ands In severally to Indians on the var
ious reservations. Tfch last bill received
; ho indorsement of Gen. Crook , the
jreat Indian pacificator , who said of It
"Some such step must bo taken if wo
iopo to succeed In absorbing the In
dian in the mass of the population ,
and at somoiimo , as a matter of juetic ? ,
wo ahoold place In his lunds h s bes
weapon of defense , the ballot. " A bll
was alto drawn under direction of the .as
soclatlon to provide for the establishmen
of courts of criminal jurisdiction upon
[ ndlan reservations , to define their pow
crs and the ofionsos of which they may
bake cognlzmce , and to a ( Us penalties to
the commleaion of such offenses. Th
matters [ mentioned merely outline th
woik Qpcrformed by the committee
Thousands of miles have been traveler
by agents of the association. Indian
agencies have boon visited for the purpos
of gaining Information , pamphlets am
documents of various kinds have been is
sued and a large corrojpcndenco conduct
ed with branch associations. The execn
tivo committee concludes its report as fol
lows :
In this Indian question , as In all otho
questions , xhe Crac a tap Is to nndcrstaui
the premiecs. It is the object of th
Indian Rights association to make the
facts of the Indians' present condition
socially and legally , accessible , to assls
the formation of a right public sent i
ment , and , by means of an extended am
close organization , to hiing that senti
ment to bear most constantly and cft'ec
tlvely on the law-making power o
the government. The results of the
past have most Incontrovertibly ahown
that this method of work is In a markec
degree practical and successful , that such
an organized and carefully directed force
strong In the strength of cammon sense
of righteousness , of justice , and of mercy
ii a force that will not bo galntald. Bu
it ia a force made np of the individual influence
fluenco of individual men and women
stimulated by a high aanso of peracna
responsibility ; and this personal responsibility
sibility , whether felt or not , lies on ever
man and woman in the United States.
PENSION FRAUDS.
There are undoubtedly nprn the pen
eion rol's tha names of thousands of par
eons that are not honestly entitled to
cent. Theco persona have been asslste
in their frauds by the avaricious peneio
agents. That frauds are committed i
exclusively shown by the exposures tha
are made from time to time
ol her through accidental dls
covery or as the result of care
ful investigation in suspected cases. I
was only quite recently that frauds t
the extent of 920,000 , committed through
a Philadelphia sharper , were diacovcrei
and exposed. The enormous anms pah
out for pensions and the large number o
namoa on the pension rolls afford an extensive
tensive field for swindling , and unles
the pension bureau is carefully guardot
In all it ] details hundreds o
thousands of dollars will probably b
distributed annually among thoao who
have no legitimate claim to the money
While the people are In favor of the lib
eral policy towards the Union soldier * o
the war , they certainly have the right to
insist that the pension money thall not in
any bo diverted for the benefit of fiaudu
lent pantioners. It has been shown by
recent cases that the names of partle
married or deceased , as well as of othei
whose right to draw pensions , has lapsed
for various reasons , could be kept on the
rolls for years without discovery. The
strictest accountability should exlstin the
persion bureau , and thorough Investiga
tions shonld bo made In time to dif cover
fraudulent pensioners for the purpose o
having them dropped from the rolls , and
punished If poislble. G ane ral Black , tr e
now oommltsioner , will undoubtedly find
his hands full , If ho gives ta the bureau
ut attention which It deserves. Ho
aimot any too coon begin tbo work of
ceding out the fiaudnlont pensioners.

LITERATURE as a rule is not a very
profitable profession. It ia only a few
who succeed in making morn than a bare
iving at it. So popular a series of books
as "American Men of Lottora" and
"American Statesmen" will not have sn
average silo of more than 3,000 to 3GO (
copies. At $1.25 per copy the authors
would not got more than $375 or $437 ,
and yet five or six months must bo re
quired to do ono of the volumes properly.
This is much smaller compansation than
; ho most ordinary clerk or salesman
would receive. Indeed , It Is not cqua
; o the wages of a common mechanic. I
would BOOM , therefore , tbnta good shady
occupation or trade Ia far preferable to
the uncertainties snd disappointments o
a literary life.
SO.MIone hundred citizens of St
Paul have been acting while
others have been talking , am
formed the nucleus of a taxpayers
association , with a constitution whic :
they have Signed , the object ofwhich 1
to bring the inilutnca of a numerous ace
powerful organization to bear in ell'ectin
a more prudent , honest and econ
omlcal administration ot city affairs , am
in the election of city officers who trl !
carry out their views. Such an organiza
tion will find plenty to do in almost an
city. In Omaha perhaps its moat 1m
pcrtant duly would be to bring about
more honest assessment , and to pnt npon
the tax lltt several hundred valuable lot
that are now exempted under the pre
tense that they are included in the rail
road right of way. If all this proport ;
wore taxed , as it shonld be , the Incom
of the city would bo largely increased
and the burden of general taxation pro
portlonately decreased. Of course a tax
payers' organ izition in Omaha would Incidentally
cidontally find plenty of other wor ]
to do.
"ARDOR DAY , " which was first estab
llshed In Nebraska , has borne good frnit
It has since been established in novel
other states , end a bill Is to ba Introduce
into the New York legislature to provide
for such a day In that stato. In an artl
clo on the subject by Mr. B. G. Northrop
rep , to appear In the Chautauquan nex
month , ho eays :
"In tree planting the beginning onlyl
difficult , The obstacles are all mot &
the outset , because they are usually mag
nified by the popular Ignorance c
this eubject. It is the first step
that ccsts at lenst , It cost
effort to cot the thing on foot , bn
that stop once taken , others are sure t
follow. This ' 'cry feck that the main tu
is at tie start , on account of the inert !
of Ignoranca and indifference , shown tha
such start shonld bo made easy , as ia bes
done by an arbor day proclamation of th
governor , irhlch la sure to interest an <

the Nizan cf Hyderbad la an old lop

wives and who slices up a mother ln-law
every time ho wants to celebrate ; tha
the Akoond of Svrat died a few years

ConcerninuMp , Cleveland's Speeches

A dtspa'ch ' frcm Washington says tha
Mr. Cleveland spjko his Inaugural HUB
sago from memory. It is on old habit
with him to write out and memori/.o wha
ha hns to say. Ho did so at the meeting
of the bar oiled to take action on the
death of his friend Ossar Folsom , when
ho m&de a touching anr1 beautiful speech
It was thought to bo impromptu ; but the
reporters knonrotherwise , as they already
had the manuscript , word for word as ho
delivered it. 'Whoa , as mayor , ho was
callnd upon to deliver the address at the
laying of the corncr-stcno of the Young

It must be specially gratifying to oui
eminent townsman Mr , Arthur to read
the eulogies pronounced by the metro
politan proid , without distinction of party
lines , upon his official career , and he
wonld bo still more gratified could he
hear the unanimously favorable opinions

disappointed hla enemies. Before his

priicd his political opponents here tha
to-dny they are as loud In his prtho

may. Drowsier has lost the confidence

has been squandered prodigally. Browsto

law oflico in Philadelphia , will hereafter
live very much at loianrc. Ho put his
stepson , a man of the town , into a place
aa assistant attorney general at $2,600 a

* * * ' There is no use of dwelling on
my boyhood days or college scrapes. When
the 1'ranco-Prufslan war was declared in 1871'
I was living with my father in Hanover , ( Jer
many. He punished'mo ' seserely for a fan
cied misdemeanor , and I concluded to rui
away from home. The Germin povernmen
called for men for the ambulance corps , and
enrolled ; although I had considerable troubl
to pnsa on account of my eztieme youth , bu
with a few tears of persuasion I moved th
heart of the doctor and I started oa the fieli
of ad\enturo. After beiiif assistant nurse i <
the hospital at Hunover for a few weeks , . '
volunteered to accompany the Thirteenth reg
imc-nt of Lincers' and ono fine mornirg wa
packed away to the front. Had several nar
row escapes' ctMctz , Toulon and Sedan , was
present when tha haughty Emperor of the
French surrendered. At eho close of the wu :
I returned homo clad in rags , but decorntei
with the 'Iron CIOFB' of which I felt prouder
than the oldest veteinn. My family , with
the exception of my father , received me will
kindness. After u week or so of rest I con
cluded to como to America , to July 1 , 1871 , -
engaged pa ° snge in the North Gorman Llyoi
steamer 'Hnnea , ' and arrived in New York on
the lllth , after a pleasant voyage. Hero in
America I had not a xiuglo friend. The firs
work I obtained was in a 1'rench-Gormnn
restaurant. After remaining there four
monthn I bought a through ticket for San
Francifco , but only went as far i Bfacon
City , Mo. , where I was engaged by 'NV. W _
Watkiun as night clerk in the Noith Missouri
hotel. Hero I remained cipht months , and
leaving him is my only regret , as my dcarf st
relative could not have been kinder than ho.
Desirous of perfecting myself in the Knglish
tongue , I next learned the art of printing in
the oftico of the Daily Enterprise nt Moberly ,
Mq . AJ reporter , Mr. L. Browm , wa :
stricken with paralysis , and I wns promoted
to bis place. After remaining in that capac
ity for a year , I was offered a situation as re
porter on the St. Loui < Globe-Democrat , ac
cepted it , and made quite : v succens as translator
later from German into English. "

In various parts cf the world as a news

of flrgglng him In a regular French stylo.
The proceeding waa not appreciated , and
the culld ran away until ho arrived at
