terrorizing the settlers. Throughout the
country the Indians levy blackmail in
grub aud tobacco, ana the settlers pay IL
for fear Of having their hay and stables
burned. On Gen. strange's ranch wanton
depredatious have been committed, but
the bold attitude Of the General and the
establishment Of a mounted police patrol
have bad beneficial effect. 10 Is eN-
pected that the FIRST rising will take place
on the Blood reserve, followed by gene.

ways been supposed that tie artist mod
cled this painting from her and exhibited
it publicly from revepgeful motives. 1t
was painted shortly otter she became the
wife Of Sweeney. the figure is nearly life
size, and painted with a realism that has
never been excelled. 1t was exhibited in

Sweeney offered five times its value to
have it suppressed, or TO get it in his pos
session. but HIS offers were declined. The
painting is now in the gallery Of Mrs.

by his first wife.
Mrs. Sweeney was one of the most
beautiful bellies OF Baltimore when Mr..

took bridal trip to Italy and remained
abroad six years, when they parted, and
she secured divorce here. She studied

matter how powerful or influential is ncces-
sary for its success.
WHERE ITS STRENGTH LIES.
Its strength is with the people. Its
principles are essential to the welfare
and prosperity of the country, and sooner or
later must pevail. We believe in strict
lection OF the just riehts Of all States,
taxation for the legitimate expenses OF the
government and for nothing else, economy IN
all public expenditures and honest reform OF
the civil service. And In State affairs we
favor municipal reform for all misgoverned
municipalities. home rule for cities. 81. ing

law and just and honest reapportionment Of
the state.
CIVIL SERVICE VIEWS.
The party that is responsible for the admin
istration OF State or nation should have the
power OF appointing officials In sympathy
with its sentiments. This rule should be APP
piled TO all positions invNAing the exercise Of
administrative or discrt tlonaTy duties, the
performance OF which might influence poliu
cal questions. IL Ia not necessary that it
should be applied TO the performance OF
duties IN mere subordinate places. involving
only the possession OF clerical or other expert
qualifications that can properly be tested by
examination.
THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION.

tional adm nistratiOn viii be disappointed.
That administration needs no defense AZ my
hands. II IS administering the government

honesty, courage aud true Democracy there
