A ranchman by the name OF Foster
who resides near Soccoro, n. NJ, has
pair of spurs made from the jaw
homes of Big Foot, one of the most
daring and bloodthirsty Indians ever
known in that section. He says that
it was about four years ago, when
Victoria was having such a picnic
stampeding and breaking up the ran
ches all over that country. Big Foot
and Little Foot, at the head Of we'll
mounted party, moved onto their
rancho, and both fell at the first fire.
They were both scalped while yet
their blood was warm, but that did
not seem to be ensugh for staying
such bloody minded giant as Big
Foot. He dissected the lower jaw
hone and sawed off the other, both OF
which were in due time supplied with
spur-wheels and straps.
On the afternoon OF the 9th OF
April the most destructive tornado
ever known in that part of the coun-
try passed over the southern part OF
Montgomery and Greene counties
Ohio, devastating everything IN its
course. 1t appears to have originated
near Woodbine, small town south
of DAYTON. An eyewitness describes
it as appalling i'll its fury. An au'
thentic statement is that the cyclone
was formed by the union OF two light
storm clouds from the south and nortf
west, which Immediately assumed the
force of waterspout, rising and de
scending like waves of the sea anc
destroying everythingin its way. +
Best, of Dayton, who was near enough
to observe accurately, says it wa
fully one eighth of a mile in widtl
and moved about over the countr,
ike an immense cloud of smoke
while everywhere in its path the al
was dark with trees and ruins O
houses. The forests were moves
down like weeds, fences We're destroy
ed for miles, and it is estimated tina
in that country alone at least twent
residences are in ruins, to say NOTHING
of the loss on other buildings, liv
stock and farm property.

of settling the question, but no is not satisfied
with tho soundness Of tho logic.
The Pennsy lvauia statute relating to the
admission of attorneys to practice in the sew
eral courts seems to rest the whole matter in
the discretion of the Judges. Those who are
to BIO admitted are simply designated as "por-
sons" Quoting n decision of the supreme
court of Connecticut, Judge Peirce says "All
statutes are to be construed, as far as possible,
in favor of equality of rights. All rostric.
tions upon human liberty, all claims for
special privileges, are to BIO regarded as hsv-
ing tho presumption of law against them"
In Connecticut women can become commits
sioners of the superior court, because the
statute gives to the court authority to appoint
any number of "persons' to this office.
There is no authority for appointing n
woman as postmaster, except such as is
derived from tho act of 1925, which provides
that the postmaster general shall establish
postoilices and appoint postmasters." 1t is
held that tho term POSTMASTER" includes
both men and women. The same may be
said Of tho term "pension agent" there being
no allusion to sex in the act of congress
creating the Office. Successive presidents
have not hesitated to appoint woman to tho
Office of pension agent at Chicago. Says
Judge Peirce: Public opinion is everywhere
approving such appointments, They promote
the public interest," which is benefited by
every legitimate use Of individual ability,
while mere justice. which is of interest to all,
requires that all have the fullest opportunity
for the exercise of their abilities"

A staff correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Des Moines, Iowa, rela-
tive to tho political situation and outlook in
that state says: "The federal oficeholders,
who are frequently regarded as tho repre-
scntatives Of the administration candidate,
seem to BIO doing no political work at present.
They say good word for Arthur, but pro-
fess to be for the man who can carry New York
and Ohio" In another place the correspond
ent quotes leading republican politician as
saying, IL must say that there is absolutely no
sign of any attempt mado by any candidate,
or the friends of any candidate outside of
tho state to influence voters or direct tho
selection of delegates" These candid state
monts Of an intelligent correspondent sent
for the purpose of making true report of the
situation, are doubtless much nearer tho
truth than the reiterated assertions in the
editorial columns of the Times that the Presi.
dent is prostituting his office and using the
power and machinery of the government to
no evidence of this, but here is abundant
evidence to the contrary. What is true in
Iowa, as reported by the Times correspondent,
is truo in other states Neither tho Prosi.
dent nor any person by his authority or in
his behalf has attempted in the slightest
degree to influence the course of government
e. al, 80 -,
latipg conventions or selecting delegates. 1t
is needless to say that this could be
done, and sometimes has been
done. The fact that it is not being done now
is evidence Of an improvement in our politics
and of a genuine civil service reform to
which no man in public life has contributed
more than President Arthur. The machin-
cry of the federal government is farreach-
ing and powerful faction in politics. 1t can
be used effectively and decisively in shaping
the course of political events and controlling
nominations by president who is skilled in
such arts. The fact that President Arthur IL
not doing so and does not intend to is appar-
ent on every hand. The President is con-
tent to rest his case on the merits of his
administration and on the untrammcled and
unbiased Judgment of the people. If the
choice of the republican convention at Chi
caro shall fall upon him, he will BIO incom.
parably the stronger for not having attempted
| to capture it by the use of means which.
though fair enough as politics 60, would no
be in harmonoy with his clean and dignifet
administration, and which wonld give hi
enemies something that they ale now search.

THE debate on the bill providing for n
bureau of labor statistics under the direction
of the secretary of the interior developed q
good deal of difference of opinion as to the
propriety of adding new duties and RESPONSE
bilties to department which already
has as much business as IL can con-
veniontly manage Mr.. Sherman expressed
his belief that the existing bureau OF
statistics of the treasury department was on
tirely competent to deal with the subject of
labor statistics, and by imposing upon it the
duties contemplated in the bill the expense of
new organization could be avoided. Tho
subject will receive still further attention.

ONE result of tho recent legal tender
decision Of the supreme court is seen in the
introduction in congress Of several amend
ments to the constitution proposing to define
with exactneSs the power of congress in
reference to creating legal tender. Mr..
IIcwitt's proposition is to condne the legal
tender quality strictly to gold and silver
1t is for the public welfare that the constitu-
ton should DO amended SO that the power of
congress over this important matter shall
be so plainly defined that there
will DO no room for controversy
in the premises; but in view of our experience
in the civil war it is doubtful if Mr., Howitt's
amendment is sufficiently elastic to meet the
great strain that might be felt in case of a
great war Congress should have power to
invest paper with legal tender qualities when
the national existence is at stake, but under
such express limitations that it would be
impossible to continue the exercise of such
power in time of peace.

Reeves as Constance tho wife, Miss Enid Leslie
as Edith the blind sister, Miss Ada Dyas as
Mrs. Dick Chetwyn and Mr.. VIM. Gillette as
Buxton Scott the lawyer are the principal
characters Mr.. Buckley ut times disap-
pointed tho audience by artiiciality, but at
times and especially in tho scene where the
dangerous illness of his little child, and in
the final reconciliation, his acting has never
been surpassed on this stage. The struggles
Of the husband and father especially in tho
former scene to repress excitement were
portraiture Of artistic realism of the very
highest value. Miss Reeves was also at times
unequal to herself; yet, as whole. played
her part with most commendable fidelity to
nature. Miss Ada Dyas us Mrs. Dick Chet-
wyn presented always the same high degree of
excellence in her representation. A slight
drawl in speech, probably natural, enables
Miss Dyas to render comedy characters with
marked effect in their appeals to the audi
once's sense of tho humorous. Mr. Gillettes
representation of the Lawyer could not we'll
have been improved. Miss Enid Leslie's por-
trature of the blind girl Edith was without
q flaw. A very difficult role, this-the
blind, innocent, loving child, drawn
with light and graceful touches, and
portrayed with q delicacy, fidelity to
nature, delicious consistency that sets the
stamp of perfect and conscientious art upon
this young lady. The audience, which was a
critical as we'll as largo one, testified its
appreciation in the most hattering manner.
The rest of the company merit high common
datiou The piece is mounted in superb style.
1t will be repeated tonight.
