JUSTICE MILLER, in delivering the
opinion of the United States Supreme
Court in a recent case. in which the power
OF congress to authorize the exercise of
criminal Jurisdiction by Courts over tribal
Indians, says: These Indian tribes are
the wards of the nation. They are com
munitics dependent on the United States;
dependent largely for their daily food;
dependent for their politicaLrights. They
owe no allcgiapec to the states and re-
celye from them no protection. Because
of the local i'll feeling, the people of the
states where they are found are often
their deadliest enemies. The power of
the general government over these rem.
nants OF a race once powerful, now weak
and diminished in numbers, is necessary
to their protection as well as to the
safety Of those among whom they dwell.
1t must exist in that government because
it has never existed anywhere else"

CANADIAN journalists advise their gov
eminent to refuse leases for grazing lands
to citizens of the United States. This is
probably a consequence of the movement to
introduce Legislation distinguishing against
aliens as property owners in the t.rritories
and District Of Columbia. In question Of
this kind it seems just that a rule should
govern similar to that which formerly OBJ
tained-ifit does not still remain In force

MAxwELL's counsel, as IN duty bound,
seems determined to exhaust every effort
to secure a new trial for his client. As
soon as sentence is pronounced an appeal
will be taken to the supreme court, and
if that fails it is announced
that an attempt will be made to remove
the case to the United States courts, on
the ground that the law regulating Grim
inal procedure in Missouri is in conflict
with the federal constitution, because it
allows the prosecution more challenges of
jurors than the defence. Maxwell nat
urally objects to hanging, but the general
opinion il that he richly deserves that

The first complete fiscal year Of Cleve-
lands administration came to an end with
the last day of June. 1t is therefore
timely and may prove instructive to com
pare the financial condition of the coun-
try now and last year at this date. The
main results of such comparison show that
the business interests of the whole coun-
try have not suffered from a return to
Democratic methods.
The debt proper has been decreased by
s44, 6l2, 2s6.
The cash in the treasury has been in
creased $5l ass, 479.
The gold and gold bullion show an in
crease of $50, 494, S53.
The silver dollars and silver bullion on
hand have increased during the year $685.
30s. 1873.
The foregoing figures are taken from a
statement in the New York HeraM,
which sums up the situation as follows:
The silver dollars actually in circula-
ton are thirteen millions more now than
at this time last year, showing that the
treasury has not, as has sometimes been
charged, attempted to place any ~restric-
lions on the circulation OF this coin, but
the contrary. 1t may be added that these
thirteen millions of silver dollars have BY
that much increased the total amount Of
circulating medium, because the one and
W dollar greenbncks Withdrawn have
been almost exactly replaced by the Issue
Of Eve dollar notes.
These figures show conclusively that
while the payment Of the national debt
has gone on during the year and the TO-
quirements of the sinking fund have been
fully maintained by the Democrats ad.

hard timcs, the treasury has at the sam,

A CUBAN CIGAR FACTORY.
Tow Henry Ciay's Name Game To lie
Used for a Brand of Cigars.

Used for n Brand of Cigars.
Just beyond Togo Don Miguel called
NY attention to an immense cigar factory
with the remark: A American states
man made that" Then he told me how.
soon after the great Missouri compromise
contest Henry Clay. who was very much
broken in health, was prevailed upon by
ais friends to visit Cuba. The Spanish
government, learning of this. gave
orders that he should be received as the
guest of the nation. On his arrival at
The old Hotel Almy in Havana, 10Y
abandoned, he was received with extra
ordinary civic and military demonstm-
tons, and q Virginian named Belt. an
American litterateur and linguist, then
and now residing in Cuba, was appointed
his cicerone.
MIR. Clay protested against these hon
DTS as being embarrassing and distract
ing to him, an invalid who had visited
the island only for rest and recreation;
and he was finally given the keys of the
city, but allowed to live in peace. AT
this time there was in Havana a poor,
struggling cigar-maker named Julian
Alvarez. He sought Mr.. Clay through
Mr. Belt and begged ~piteously to be al
lowed to use his name for a brand of
cigars, and that the great commoner
would sit for a portrait to accompany the
ame. The petition was 30 made to Mr..
Clay that it touched him deeply. His re-
ply through Mr.. Belt to Alvarez was:
Say TO your Cuban friend that moth
ing on earth could be more distasteful to
me. l will do it, however. on the condi-
ion that Alvarez, should it help him
gain fortune, never fail to be generous
and bountiful to all men with whatever
may be in his power to bestow upon
them
1t is said that this portrait of Mr.. Clay
is the finest one in existence, his own
greet praise of it being embodied in his
remark:
1T is wonderfully ugly, and therefore
wonderfully like me-"
Julian Alvarez died in Havana last
year. The establishment which owed its
origin wholly to Henry Clay's sympathy
FOR struggling poverty is the most noted
Of its kind in the world. Alvarez's death
was mourned by every human being in
Cuba. He was undoubtedly the most
generous man, the most noble man, the
most truly grateful man, proven by his
innumerable ~benefactions, ever known
to the Spanish people.-Edgar l. Wake

THE GRAY NUN.

There comes. each dying day to bless,
A little while before the night,
A gentle nun In convent dress Z
o~fclinging robes all gray and white.
She lays her cool hand on my face,
And smooths the lines of care away;
Her tender touch with magic grace
Dispels the worries Of the day.
She folds the mystic curtain by
That hides from view the shndowy
throng,
And gives me those for whom l sigh,
The vanished friends for whom l long.
Sometimes she brings a perfumed spray
or flowers that bloomed long years ago,
The breath of a summer laid away
Meath many a winters drifted snow.
No other guest gives such delight,
Nor can of peace bestow the same,
As she who comes 'twixt day and night,
And Twilight is the gray nuns name.

Tevik Pasha, Turkish minister at

1T is the belief among the Moham-
medans that if early prayers are said
forty mornings in succession at the
mosque, before any one else arrives, the
person so doing shall have good luck and
prosperity. There was n poor man in
Constantinople who was the picture of
bad luck and improvidence. Every
morning early he repaired to the great
mosque of st. Sophia and invariably
found some one ahead of him, thus
breaking the charm. One morning, as
usual, he discovered the earlier devotee,
and, as he proved to be the same one all
the time, he thus spoke: My friend, l
am poor and need good luck. For many
mornings l have come hither to pray,
each time earlier than before. Give me
a chance, tell me how you get here
earlier than | every day To which the
early devotee replied: 4 have two wives.
When awake in the morning one brings
me my slippers, the other my ablution
bowl, and by these wives attending to
my wants together l am enabled to be
off earlier for prayers than if | had only
n WIFE The poor man resolved to
profit by the advice. He got him another
wife, and in a few days discovered the
real secret of the early devotee, viz: the

QUITE POSSIBLE.
Latest Theory Of the Origin of the Pa
enc Navigation Companys Fire.

Mr.. A. Frank Cooke, President Of
the Pacific Navigation Company, has in.
formed our reporter that he believed
he bad traced the origin of the fire in
that company's building, He had been
informed that Engine Company No. 2.
while practising on the water front lust
before the fire was discovered that
evening, had their machine stationed
IN such a position that sparks from the
funnel flew all over the building. The
boards IN the roof we're put on green
and had contracted, leaving cracks that
IN some cases came directly under the
laps OF the corrugated iron covering.
AS the sparks moved over the roof
some of them were sucked in by the
draught, igniting innlmmable material
on the attic floor and thus starting the
fire.
If this theory is correct, and it is a
plausible one, then the fire companies
should have their engines fitted with
spark arresters. Until that be done
the engines when practising should
give buildings a wide berth. The
lying sparks from the engines are yer,
strong when wood is being burned in
the fire boxes.

der to mount six heavy guns. In adj
ditlon TO the present armament a new
battery on the northeast side of the
bay has been begun, and earthworks
have been run up along the shore to
westward, so as to prevent any hostile
landing between Batoum and the
