In no country, except the United

of course it is still confined to com.

yet the good work is going on with the

prison, probably on account of its must.
cal name. 1t has 1000 boarders, many
of whom are permanent. The monthly
expenditures amount to $4,000. A
big wall has just been completed around
the prison, which will tend to make the
institution even more attractive than
ever so much so that very few will
leave it in the future. This will be very
satisfactory, for, strange as it may seem,
some of she guests heretofore became

PAIRING OFF.


Tho Democracy Of the West are still
excited over the restricted proposition
for pairing" alleged to have been
made to Senator Morton by his col

Of opposition is that Senator Mortons
afiiiction should bc treated as an oppor-

every advantage should be taken OF IT.
This reminds me of scene which took
place in the Senate Chamber about ten

memorable to those who witnessed it.

The one great mission OF the Demo,
cratic party is, as it has always been
the administration of the government
OF this country according to the Con
stitution and the laws, which means in
the interest of the whole people and
upon sound and honest principles to

This speech was born of just in
dignation and reflects great dlscrcdit
upon our Government and people. The
British authorities, in giving Sitting
Bull and his band an asylum, implicitly
condemn us for violating our treaties
with him and driving him out of our
country. The Canadians have never
had trouble with their Indians simply
because they have kept faith with them
and treated them properly. We arc

policy our Government has pursued in

when the Indians have been provoked

them to death. Sitting Bulls speech
is scathing comment upon this policy,

THE APOTHEOSIS OF SIMON
NAMERON.t !. -IL-

The temperance Of Hon. Simon
Cameron is one of those dramatic sur
prises in which the muse of American
history seems to take great delight. 1t
is astonishing, if not delightful. Only
a few months ago, as it seems to u.s.
we saw him quietly INJURED. Heturned
his back upon the world, forswore poll
tics, and resolved to livec cleanly. News.
papers, without regard to party bias,
reviewed his life, and, in neat obituary
lines, gave him the benefit Of all doubts,
said whatever good was possible of him,
and so dismissed him to the limbo of
departed statesmen. The SCARED vet
eran of thousand conventions was
fain to retreat to the outrageous
shades of private life, and unvexed by
statecraft or the pettiness of politics,
would spend the remainder Of his days
in the placid pursuits of the agricultur.
ist, the man OF leisure, and the owner
of fat Pennsylvania acres. To use a
familiar figure, he was dead to the
world. His favorite son was nominated
heir to his scat in the United States
Senate. The State Of Pennsylvania
ratified the old mans last will and tesla
mcnt Cameron perpetuated his line,
a son Of his succeeding to his curulc
honors. In figure, Simon wrapped
the drapery Of his couch about him
and lay down to pleasant dreams.
But the sly fox was not dead. The
aged rat, famed by Esop, who followed
himself hermit's cell in the heart Of
a rich cheese, was not more thoroughly
alive. The grave cannot contain him,
but it opens its ponderous and marble
jaws and spews him forth again as
blithe and quarrelsome as ever. Itwas
in vain, then, that we followed him to
the scpulchrc with honest tears. The
obituaries are waste paper. He will
not stay dead. To say that in his
ashes live wonted fires hardly covers
the case The veteran politician, jump
ing down from the top shelf Of his
mausolcum, where he was duly laid in
honor, shies his funeral hat into the
ring, and insists on taking a hand in

ionairc, who gave away his fortune
and ordered his coffin, but aiterward
got up and quarrelcd with the admin.
istrators Of his estate, Cameron insists
on taking hold once more of the affairs
Of men. James Lick was as good as
dead and buried when he revived and
began to quarrel with the men who
were managing the estate which he
had put forever out Of his hands. The
Pennsylvania statesman comes to life
again when he secs the English mission
shaken over the grave whore he was
sleeping. Man may be mortal. The
oflice-seckcr and Office holder never
dies. Nobody knows how old Simon
Cameron Is. We arc psrsuaiiedi "a TIA;

historic Pennsylvania contractor went

Nation was aglow with the heroic

good Simon Cameron sat down and
