That the American bison, or buffalo,
as it is more Familiarity termed, is
doomed 10 extinction in time is evident |;
but thai this rssultwill be ga necessary
evil" is generally acknowledged among
settlers in the far West. The vast
herds Of bison that only q few years
since reamed over the Western plains
afforded wild sport and a iarge income
to the hide-hnnters; but as an offset to
this il should he remembered that the
buffalo is one Of the chief SHOWS Of war
with the Indian tribes Deprive the
red man Of buffalo, aud he cannot, dur.
ing midwintsr especially, carry ON a
successful raid From the bison he OBJ
taiils his provision, robes. and covering.
Nothing so harsssed aud weakened
Sitting Bull and his band. when driven
over the Canada border, as the absence
Of buffalo in that region. When the
last herds become finally snnihilatea,
nothing remains for the Indian but a
semi-civilized and agricultural life.
Holding this in view. the extinction Of
this huge nomaa of the plains may be
looked forward 10. II not with satisfac-
ton, at least with resignation by the
sportsman Of the land. and especially by
the frontiesmen who have suffered SC
much at the hands of the Sioux ana

large quantities of laces, dresses, etc.,
which they try to ''get through without
paying duty. Many succeed, but many
also fail. This week the custom officers

A first class dressmaker cannot do busi-
ness unless she imports, and then the
duties are so high and the intense COM
petition which prevails with trade no
money can be made unless we succeed
in gotting in duty free. Some people
have brought smuggling down to such
a fine art that they have been carrying
it on for years without detection. OF
course everybody will be found out
eventually, but one must take her chances
and try and make enough while the sun
shines to make up for the expense of the
thing when the squall comes" 1 could
not help smiling at her matter of fact

want an argument based on moral prin-
ciples here is one.
Something ought to be done to regulate

Modistes, everybody thought, had ex-

THE AppoRTIoNNENr pArrLr

The right of tqlal representation is
the true preServaiiYe OF all rights in a
free government. TO deny it is revolu-

tutions. Taxation without representa-.
tion was what our forelathers of l776
protested against, and the right of peo.
pie OF all parties to be represented fairly
is right not to be measured by money.
The Pennsylvania Democrats claim this
right for themselves and coneede il to
others. The Pennsylvania Republicans
deny it, In 1880, the Republicans polled
44i, ,1Oi votes in Pennsylvania. The
Democrats polled 4O7, 42s votes. Penn
