THE VEro. When the President disap-
proves OF any bill which has been passed
by Congress, tho Constitution requires that
"he shall return II with his objections 10
that House in which it shall have originated
who shall enter the objections at large on
their journal, and proceed TO reconsider It,
If, after such consideration, two.thirda ol
that House shall agroo to pass the bill, II
shall be sent. together with the objections
10 the other House, by which 1t shall ike
wise DO roconsi,efed, and, II approved by

THERE is one feature of Dallas that
we observe with great pleasure, and
hope 1t may ever be so. We refer
to the uniform good feeling and alb
sence of jealousy between the older cit
liens and and the new. 1t sometimes
unfortunately, and certainly unwisely,
happens, where the increase of popula-
ton is so rapid, that u sort of discord
arises between such classes of citizens.
1t is, however, foolish and altogether
Improbable. But we never saw u
community, SO rapidly changing, SO
free from this weakness, as our own at
this time. 1t Is well, and is but the har-
binger of concord and mutual good
will socially as well as In enterprises
demanding concert of action. 1t has
always been characteristic of the peo-
pie of this state to welcome new citi-
zens, and the feeling should be cher
ished. Every man added to our popula-
ton In any legitimate avocation,
whether laborer, mechanic, merchant.
artisan, farmer what not, is an &C ,es-
sion to be desired, come from whence
he may, and being law abiding nan.
Let them come by thousands.

THE legislature has passed law to
sell the states alternate sections in the
various railroad lands. This will bring
into market a large amount of desirable
lands in several northwestern counties,
and is q wise measure. We are not
however, Informed ofthe details, and do
not know how soon or in what manner
the sales are to be made. Itwould do
a much greater good at present to sell
many Of the county school lands which
lie largely within settled counties and
retard settlements. We hope this will
also be provided for before theadjourn-

WE are glad to greet in Dallas our
old friend, Captain Zimri Hunt, an old

Austin county, taking his first view of

his popularity was evinced by nearly
thousand votes ahead of his ticket.

Cremation. Fire will consume an
editors wife just as quick, and with as
much relish as it will a pile of pine
stumps or any other woman, only give
it a chance. It embraced our wife, or
rather the opportunity the other eve
ming. 1t wasn't one of her old flames
but a students lamp that went for her.
If it had been any other than stu
dents lamp We wouldn't be so mad
about it. We don want any student
lamp-ooning oar wife with their tongues
Of fame. However, one did last Sun
day evening. We were at church, and
he went for her polonaise and in a
twinklng she was illumina ted, but
with wise forethought she just put
him ont in a hurry. We felt put out,
terribly put out, because we had as yet
made no preliminary arrangements for
crematory performances. We had no
urn on our mantle wherein to let her
ashes I've, no, not even a junk bottle.
We find it somewhat difficult to urn a
livelihood, these days, and We don't
yearn for the untimely appearance Of
parlor ornament which will be onlyIa
reminder of the fact that our wife is a
dead head. T"

commentator. 1t has received med

Another Indian Outrage. THE
Stevens Point journal gives an ae-
count of most shameful outrage per
petrated in the town Of Hull last week
by the noble red man,
"'Three of the redskins entered the
house of Al. Bently, about eleven
o'clock in the forenoon, at which tim e
Mrs. Bently was the only person about
the premises, her husband being in
this city. Seeing her helpless condi-
ton, the Indians siezed Mrs. Bentlv.
laid her on the floor, and tied her
hands and feet together, her hands be-
hind her back. They then ransacked
the house, carrying away with them
such articles as they wished, leaving
her lying on the floor, face downwards.
In this position she remained until
about three O'Clock, when neighbor
who was passing went into the house
after drink of water. At first sight
he thought she was dead, but although
she had suffered considerable physical
pain as well as being terribly frightened,
no permanent injury had been done
her. The outrage was committed by
the Pottowotamies. About fftv OF
this tribe are now prowling around
this vicinity, they have returned from
the reservation to which the Govern
ment sent them a few months ago.
They can be distinguished from the
Chippewas from the fact that they
ride ponies, whereas the latter travel
