tlons were unanimoufaly p-isbad calling
upon the next administration to repeal

IT IS a common belief that the noble
rod man of the west would rather starve
to douth than work , but it appears that
tlio Crowa of Montana are exceptions to
this rule. Under the direction of a gov-
t'vnmenteng-ineor they have constructed
an irrigation ditch through their
reservation at a cost of 83,000. They
proved lo bo good workers and saved
the money which they oat nod. Many
of them now Inuo consider able sums at
intoio t and an idea of the value of money ,
is beginning to dawn upon their inrnQs.
When the Indian has loained what
money means ho has taken an iniport-
tant step toward civili/.ation.
TllK fact that the late Jay Gould had
DO real estate holdings of any accounl ,
f > d had never invested to any extent ir
that kind of property does not prove

not suited tu the methods of Gould , lie
v\iib pre-eminently a stock jobber anc
wanted little bosldo stocks upon whioli
to cxorcisij his great talent for money
making. The Asters have boon gro'i
money getters , and their holdings havi

A OLEAItlXO-OVT COMMISSION.
Congressman Dookory of Missouri
proposes to introduce in the house n
resolution creating n commission to examine -
amino the work of government employes
in the executive departments at Wash
ington , with a vlow to reducing the
force nnd the salaries. The resolution
provides that the commission shall con
sist of five members-elect of the next
congress , to bo appointed by the speaker
of the present house , and its duty will
bo to "inquire into nnd examine the
methods of business and work in the
executive departments of the govern
ment , the tirno and attention devoted to
the operations thereof by the persons
employed therein , nnd the degree of
cnicioncy of all such employes , and
whether a reduction in the number or
compensation of the persons authorbcd
to bo employed in bald executive depart
ments can bo made \vithoutinjurv to
the public service. "
It will bo interesting to observe how
this proposal looking to reducing the
number of government employes in
Washington will bo received , not only
by the democrats in congress , but by
the party at largo , and especially the
ofUcn-sooklng element of it , which Is
numerous. It is true that a majority of
the olllco holders in Washington are
republicans and hold their positions
under the civil service law , so that if
there should bo a rcductioa of force
and a cutting down of salaries
under the next administration
the chief if not the only suf
ferers would bo ropublicansbuttho great
army of hungry democratic place hun
ters would not bo benefited. What they
are hoping for is an increase and not n
reduction of places at the public crib.
Tens of thousands , of this class scattered
all over the country , ttto figuring on
having comfortable berths in Washing
ton during the no\.t four years , and the
scheme of Mr. Dockory threatens to
upset their calculations. But it is not
likely to carry , whether sincerely in
tended in the interest of economy or
designed simply to throw a few hun
dred lopublicana out of olllco. One
fatal objection to it will probably bo
that the present house of rcpreson-
tallies has no authority to create a commission -
mission composed of members-elect of
the iio t houso. But if this wore not
autlicioiit to kill the proposal there are
other reasons that will be. The demo
cratic party wants more , not fewer ,
olllccs.
1'ItOTKCTlUX Or It.llUtO.lD EMl'LOl'ES.
Senator Cullom intends to urge action
at Ilio present session of congress upon
his bill providing for safety appliances
on railroad cars. There ought to bo no
dilliculty in passing this humane meas
ure. The annual killing and maiming
of railway employeas the result mainly
of using umafo appliances in coupling
cars makes an appalling list of casual
ties , and the thousands of unfortunates
whoso lives are crushed out of them or
who are crippled for life do not suffer
alone. Many of them have families de
pendent on them For the nearly 25-
000 employes of railroads who wore
killed and injured during last year
doubtlu-ib at .least double that number
of poraons were subjected to moro or
less h udship and puvation.
Keforring lo this mutter in his last
, annual mos-.ago , Ptobidont Harrison
chaiaeleri/ed the rcc-ord of casualties

"but how shall wo excuse , " said tin
o
president , "tho lack of interest run

s young men who in our land commorci
0
are being sacrificed every year by tin
Ii continued use of antiquated and danger
ous appliances ? " There is no salisfac

it

V DISCOXTKNP IN THE DOMIX10X.
The tendency of public opinion
Canada is plainly in the direction of i
.ho dependence , nnd the time probably
wo not far diatunt when this sentiment w
io become strong enough to exert an in I
od. once upon the politics of the Dominic
ro At a recent joint debate upon the
ars lure of Canada more than 8,000 peoj
im- wore present , including loading po
13011 tlclans , professional and businessmi ,
ppl and n canvass of the audience shou
nla ilmt 1,01 J wore in favor of indopcndom
n al l)3 ) ) in favor of tituipxatlon to the Unit
the States , 301 in favor of the colonial b ;
few tern and Uvority-niiie in favor of imp
in- ial feuoralloii. The number who <
inin
in prosed themselves in favor of anne
nk- tlon was surprisingly largo , and I
ken still larger number who were for liu
ate por.donco may reasonably bo coun
on& uith the annexationisls , for indop
the deuce must first ha secured before
ion- noxntion will be possible ,
There urj many signs of disconti
i
in Canada , nnd the fooling that the
colonial system is not conducive to the
highest prosperity is rapidly growing.
If the meeting referred to may bo liken
ns n fairly representative one it wojld
seem that no loss than throo-olohths of
the people are in favor of a , change' , and
doubtless the proportion Is really much
larger , for there are many who would
naturally hesitate to publicly take sides
in behalf of n radical departure from
the old systom. The growth of this
tendency toward Independence .ind an
nexation is responsible for much of the
ill-will manifested by the Dominion
lories toward the Unilod States. They POO
the handwriting on the wall , nnd it dis
turbs them. They imiglno without
any excuse for doing so , that the United
States wishes to absorb Cinuda So far
as public opinion upon this subject can
bo measured by the utterances of the
press and the public men of this coun
try , the people on this side of the line
take no interest in annexation and
would not take a stop out of their way
to secure it. The Interest in the sub
ject is confined entirely to Canada and
no American influences are at worlc to
hasten action conroi ning it. It is one of
those problems which time will event
ually worlc out , and the Canadian people
will not bo embarrassed by any Inter
ference from this side.
i\/ir MEXICO AM ) ARMOXA.
It may bo regarded ns certain that the
next congress will admit New Mexico
and Arl/ona to statehood In cnso they
are not admitted by the present con
gress. Bills for their admission tire in
the senate and may pass that body , but
the expectation is that they will not bo
acted upon. The lorritorlos are domo-
cralic , and as the democrats will not
have the majority they hoped for in the
United St-itos Senate aflor March 4
noxl , they want tlio four senators that
Now Mexico and Arizona would ehooso ,
and which they reasonably assume
would bo democrats. It is said that this
consideration has boon urged upon the
attention of Mr. Cleveland in connec
tion with the question of calling an
extra session of the Fifty-third congress
and thnt it has had moio influence with
him than anjr other argument in favor
of an extra session. Undoublcdly tire
prosidont-nlect is as anxious as any ono
of ilia party thnt the domocracj-shall
bo in absolute control of the legislative
branch of the , government , and ho maybe
bo expected to do whatever is necessary
lo bo done in order lo secure that result.
Now Mexico lias a good claim to state
hood so far as population is concerned ,
though it is admitted that a largo pro
portion of ils inhabitants nro not well
filled for American citi/.oushin. The
census of 1890 gave the torrritory 153- ,
503. but there lias been a considerable
increase since , and it is safe to say that
at this tlmo the population is equal to
the number necessary for the election
of n representative under the now
apportionment. The assessed valuation
of the property in the territory in 1891
was 845,000,000. The material develop
ment of the territory is steady and
e permanent and there is every reason
to believe lhat no difficulty would be
p found in making udequato provision for
all Iho demands of statehood.
Ari/.ona does not present nearly HE
good claims to admission 7is a state.
a Tlio census of 1800 gave that torrltorj
, only 50,020 population , and while it is
claimed by the governor tlrat there ha1
been a considerable increase the trull
doubtless h that the growth during the
d last t\\o years has been small. The
d valuation of the taxable property is onli
about 828.000,000 , though the govornoi
,
o oppresses the belief that a proper val
od uation would show much larger figures
„ The development of the torrilorj' i
slow for the reason that there islitllo l
o
attract population. The greater portioi
of its area is arid and wil
bo reclaimed only at great expense , B'
i- so that while the agricultural possibilities
i- itios of Iho lorritory may bo great , it i
cortnin to bo many years before they ar
of developed. Tire forests of the torrilor
rs will some day bo a source of wealth , bu
11 they are of comimrativo'y little valu
re now owing lo llio lack of Iransportatio
reef facll ties. The people are sti ongly i
of favor of statehood and last year adoptc
id n constitution by a large majority , bu
ide if congress woio inlluoneod , as it ohoul
eto lie , by the existing conditions as to pop
illation and material development , Ar
would have to wait several voai
o- yet before being given the rights an
responsibilities of a state. Those cor
sldoralions , however , will probable
o have liltlo weight with a democrat
jt congress against the demand fi '

rd Although there has boon loss railror >

vo the past two or throe vears than fo
ho morly , it isintorosling ; lo notp that th
in , country maintains its long loud over r
in- Iho other countries of the world in tl
inoy mutter of railroad mileago. Accoidii
tit to recent statislics fioin Iho cons
ils department the lotal railroad rnileni
to of the world in 1800 was 1370,281 mile
of of which the United Stales had 103.C
no miles. The mileage in this count

ulo whole world and exceeds bjr y.lOU mil
yes Iho entiru railroad mileage of the c
for world , the aggregate of uhich f
Kurope , Abii ; and Africa eombin
amounts lo only Io9,055 miles , Tl
growth has all taken place p uctlcal
in fainco 1&30 , when tlioro wuro less th
in- forty miles of railway in the Unit
is States , and nearly half of the grow
trill has taken place since 1S80 , when t
llu- figures wore placed al 87"iil pilles T

fu- as follows : From forty miles in 1830 )
ple 1,755 ! miles in 1810 , to 8,571 miles in 18
ill- to 28,010 miles in 1SUO , and to ID , ,
ill.on
.on , miles in 1870.
vod It is pointed out by the statistic !
ice , that the bulk of the railway mileage i
ted the world 310,602 miles out of 370,28
ys- is corrtainod in North America n
or- Europe , and furthermore that Knglii
ox- speaking peoples are responsible for
ixa- larger share of mileage than all otl
the peoples combined. The largo prop
do tlon which the mileage of the Unit
ited States hours to the whole , taken in ci :
ie n- noction with the complicated condith
nn > under which railways in this coun
exist , justifies the assertion that t
.ont railway problem is one of great impa
nnco to the country. The statistician
observes that "tho problem In the
United States has boon to reclaim terri
tory for settlement , while in other coun
tries it has boon to provide territory al
ready settled with facilities of transpor
tation1 subsidies offered by congress
have boon in the form of lands which
cost congress nothing ; in other countries
subsidies have occasioned taxation ; in
the United Stalas railroad building has
boon under no restraint and according
to no policy ; in nnny other countries a
well-formed national policy has hold
railroad building In chock. The prob
lem of how much railway mileage n
country needs has never boon worked
out. " *
It is true that the land subsidies
granted by congress cost congress noth *
ing , but they cost the people something.
And yet the vast tracts of valuable
land thus given to railroad corporations
would never have boon begrudged by
the people if Iho railroad wreckers had
withhold their hands and the corpora
tions had lot legislation alone. The
problem is not ono of mileage , which
will take cnro of itself , but it Is ono of
legislation.

"I am not a prophet shu-e tholasl election ,
bul I want to make Iho pi edict ion now , that
the ne\t iidmlnistiation and especially the
next congress will bo a miserable disappoint
ment lo llio party in power and that Iho
people will take Ihe first ociasioii In 1MM to
grind Mr Cleveland and his congress be
tween the millstones " This is what Con
gressman elect Joseph G. Cannon , of Illi
nois said to TIIK Bin : correspondent this
afternoon.
Mr Cannon w 111 bo one of the most con
spicuous members of a distinguished tile of
republicans who will bo known as the "big
three" in HIP uc\t congress , namely Heed of
Maine , Durrows of Michigan and Cannon of
Illinois Besides being one of Iho oldesl and
best infoimed legislators in the country , Mr.
C union Is ono of the biightesl republicans In
the country. Ills unmerciful evcoratinns of
democratic demagogues in pist congresses
are poi lions of Iho most hit id legislative his
tory , and it is expected thai he w ill con-
tilbulcto much of the picturesque Fifty-
third congress when it comes to debates.
There was gatheied about Mr Cannon to
day a largo crowd of republicans v\ho con-
gralulalcd him upon his lotum to comriess
Continuing his conversation relative to the
probable work of the next congiess , Mr-
Cannon slid :
Impossible to Siitlifv All.
"It will simplj bo n physical Impossibility
for either the next congress or Mr. Cleveland
to satisfy Iho elcmenls which conliibutcd to
the recent democratic success The demo
crats in framing their platform nnd > \ i u i ;
their campaign throw out a drag net by ad
vocating all the isms which are ngitaling
Iho minds of the people They opposed
and advocated evcrj thing which had
a tendency lo gain votes The result is
more surpirsing and deploi able than anjono
expected and the result of the election
\\ill piovo moio disistrous to Iho demo
cratic p.uty than any election has ever
proven to any party In the first place Mr.
Cleveland is not with the majority of the
persons w ho voted for him In the second
place the mass of men who suppoilcd Ihe
democratic ticket arc already qu.m cling
and lighting over everything in sight and
of which the mind can conceive , and vvilh
time , will sinil\ ] exterminate themselves. "
"As an experienced 'cgislator ' and as n man
familiar with banking inteicsls , do jou be
lieve that the dernocrals in the next congress
will be able to repeal the lax upon stale
bulk cuiicncy ? "
Mr. Cannon looked Tnr BBC coi respondent
luu d in Ihe eyes for a full half minute and
then with a look and emphasis showing his
great astonishment , said : "And this ques
tion from a man of supposed intelligence.
My dear fellow , the Fifty-third congicss
vv ill be a do nothing congiess. If the demo
crats w ill succeed in accidentally repealing
the state bank taxI do , not know , but I
will say that I have notfoundadcmocr.it
since the eleclion who knows anything about
what is liable to take place in the next con
giess but that admits his inrty will enter
upon Ihe duties befoio it with fear and trem
bling , and will admit further that the party
is going to have Iho greatest trouble in the
world in agreeing ui > on any soil of legisla
tion. It is mv opinion lb.it the next session
of congress will be bhort , bitter and disap
pointing. "

Is the word that applies best to those great over
coats that you'll need
yet and we're selling
now at low prices as
low as is consistent
with the good quality
and general up-to date
style of all our suits
and overcoats. We
are having quite a
run on those $5.00 3-piece hoy's suits and the $2.50 and
$3.50 hoy's overcoats. We get more for them usually ,
probably that causes the run , but they ire elegant good c
and a bargain at a dollar or two more.
