President Cleveland will take into
the White House chair made Of two
Texas steers horns. 1t was originally
intended for President Arthur, but for
some reason became the possession Of
the Buffalo Young Mems Democratic
Club, and was presented to Mr.. Cleye-
land upon his election as governor.
Chicago News: Henry Ward Bee
cher hit the nail very squarely on the
head the other night when he said
that while American capital is pro-
tected by a tariff on such foreign goods
as compete with American products,
American labor is utterly unprotected
against the cheap, pauper labor that
comes from low-priced countries to
compete with and drive our the Amer
ican laborer.
Sioux Valley News: It is fast be-
coming patent that Governor Pierce
carries a level head on his shoulders.
and we have no fear that any unjust
or seriously unwise measures will re-
ceiye his approval. With the white
heat that the average Dakota politician
SO frequently experiences, it is especially
important that q cool tempered, clear
headed governor like Mr.. Pierce Should
be at the helm. OF course it requires
"nerve" i'll the executive, but we are
glad to note that Mr.. Pierce has plenty
of that important commodity.
Pioneer Press: The members of
the Dakota legislature have great con-
fidence in lie sound judgment and
sound sense Of Gov. Pierce. They will
crafty their local spites and expectant
constituents harmlessly by passing the
Ecapital removal bill, and sending it to
the governor to meet an almost certain
veto. The committee reported the
Pierre bill iii the house Tuesday, and
| it was passed by a vote of 2S to 20,
though the air was filled with charges
of bribery on the part of Pierre people.
Our correspondent counts three ma
jjority for the bill in the council. sThe
majority against it in Gov. Pierce's
mind is not known.
Ahmed -Mohammed, the Mahdi Of
the Soudan, is a man of middle stat
Lure. Hiscomplexion is copper colored,
his beard very black, and on each
cheek he bears three parallel scars.
He1s extremely spare, the probable re-
suit of the rigorous fasts to which he
condemns himself. Previous to his
entering upon active life he used to
dwell in subterranean cell or cave,
where, according to his followers, he
was continually weeping over the uni
versal corruption Of his race. The
Mahdi always wears as his invariable
costume ashirt and drawers Of danloni,
a coarse material Of native manufact-
llre. Hisfeetare clothed with sandals,
and a small turban surmounts his
head. Such is the man who now
leads the Egyptian re,eeii re bel ie:. Like all
Eastern agitators, he burst forth sud-
denly from the greatest obscurity to
assume the united rolls Of reformer
and conquerer. Yesterday but a poor
man. to-day We see him at the head Of
an innunerable army, What i the
secret Of this rapid changecf fortune?
1t Is found IN the fact that the Mahdi
has appealed to that sentiment which,
as history testifes, in every age and
cline has been the parent Of the bitter
est raucor, led to the most savage wars,
and deluged the earth with blood
religious fanaticism.
Col. Peter Donan, of. Dakota, is
about to undertake q novel adventure.
II is nothing more or less than q trip
