The reason why the Republican leaders fought
against the change of rules in regard to new PEN
sion bills, was the provision which the said bill
contained, providing for the levy of income tax
to pay the pensions which the bill granted.-An-
son Advocate.
The 'said bill' contained no such pro-
vision. Besides, there was no bill in the case,
simply an amendment to the rules, making
it in order when pension bill was intro
duced to move an amendment, specifying the
manner in which the money appropriated by
the bill was to be raised. The Advocate, as
the current slang has it, is "way off.

The Presidents last circular to Office hold
ers will do no harm, and no good either, I'M
less it is speedily followed by some act to
show that he is in earnest. A little while
ago, when Congressman Holman was renom-
mated a large part of the Democratic postmas
tiers of his district were in attendance on the
convention, working like beavers for the
success of the man to whose influence they
believed they owed their offices. All of them
remain in Office to-day, and not one of them
has been reprimanded by the President or
Portmaster-G General. We venture to say
that the summary Tipping out of these
offensive postmasters would have accom-
plished more in the direction of keeping Of
flee holders from meddling with politics than
reams of foolscap covered with proclama
tions about the improperly of such conduct,
signed by Grover Cleveland, ever can. But
the superiority of the proclamation process
is that it tickles the Mugwumps without
offending the Democrats, while the clipping"
somebody out of Office, would prove no more
satisfactory to the Mugwumps, and far less
so to the Democracy.

The Dairy Commissioner of New York
State has incorporated in his annual report
some statements concerning oleomargarine
that will greatly strengthen the farmers in
their fight with the makers of bogus butter.
The report says that oleomargarine is indi-
gestible; that it is insoluble when made from
animal fats; that it is liable to carry the
germs of disease into the human system;
and that in the eagerness of manufacturers
to produce their spurious compounds cheap
ly, ingredients enter into its manufacture
which are detrimental to the last degree to
the consumers health. These assertions
have been made after examination of SAM
pies of oleomargarine by chemist; and
while they may not be conclusive, they will
tend to confirm the impression now very
prevalent, that wholesome butter cannot be
made out of waste fats

Among the best known which that section
produced were Sidney Lanier, Father Ryan

these are now dead, Haynes demise being

probably the greatest of these. He found
much of his inspiration in natural scenery,

Arrest of a Highbinder.

Sheriff Shaw and officer McCleAry
 made very important arrest this morn
 ing, and the subject of their attentions
 will more than likely receive the utten
 tons of the hsngman if he does not
 elude the gsllows by a more expedI-
 tIous method of exit out of this sorrow
 ing world.
 For. ten days Mir. Shaw has been
 aware that the famous Chinese high.
 binder Wong Tie, was close to the city,
 and he made preparations to compass
 his arrest. The Chinaman is the terrcr
 of all hIs countrymen in this section cf
 the territory and he Is accredited with
 having killed men by the dozens. The immediate cause of bis arrest is the of fer of $500 reward by Hin Loui, Of
 fhenix, whose brother he killed. It Is also sad he killed an officer n Los An geles some time ago.
 Upon investigating the matter Nr. Shaw learned that the ferOcIOus China man had recently returned from Sono. TO, whither be had fled from Pheni1, and vas hiding m the mountains beyond th. Santa Cruz by day and sleeping in the Chinese quarters near the park at night. The arrest was therefore st. tempted at early dawn, and as the two officers entered the sleeping apartment or the ChinRmaD, the fellow jumped out ot bed and grGsped huge knife in one hand and a large pistol in the other. NIT. Shaw covered him with bis gun and told him to throw up his hands. but the outlaw did not stIr. McClear, then came in and when the order was repeated the culprit drop ped his weapons snd was easily taken to Jail. Ills pistol IS large orn6 nented Winchester, and looks very wick. ed. Ills knives were terrible weapons and were of exceedingly unique work | having evidently heen made | by the Chiusmsn himself. They were | twin knives and one side of the handles | vas tist, allowing them to lie close to- Sether ID single sheath, ready for use as one or two weapons. Their blades were fully fourteen inches long and as harp as butchers knife, They were made of heavy steel and a blow could ,e given with one as heavy as with s butchers clesyer. In every respect hey were well calculated for the san 'ulnsry purpose to which they were ledicsted.
 NIT. Shaw telegrsphed the news of the rrest to PhepiI this morning, and 1t IS Rely an officer will be sent 10 take him hither.
 The prisoner is q thin-iawed, white. ooking Chinamen, with high and very cheek bones. and few scat cred black hairs on his chm. His per onal appearance denotes @ cunning ravery and the terocity of profession murderer.

AFFAIRs in the old world are being shaped with 6 view to creating two great powers that will rule the destinies of both Europe and Asia. The German Empire is already reaching ont its ten tscles towards the Balkans, and the gradual dissolution of the small princi- palities will add to its area of terntory until 1t embraces all the fairest and most valuable portions of Europe. Rus sis also possesses great ambition and looks with favor upon the countries to its south, but it must be content with generous shoes of Asian territory, and when Turkey iu Europe itself comes under the rule of ,he German emperor, Turkey in Asia will pay tribute 10 the Russian Emperor of Asia. Both England snd France will be compelled to witness these grand accessions to their menac- ing neighbors, powerless to lay any formidable obstacle in the way of their insidious consummstion. The subtle ststesmanship of chancellor Bismarck has won the support and cooperation of the greedy and covetoGs Czar, and their united cunping will bring about results that will siartle the whole civil ized world. The desperate game IS now being played, but the shadows of the coming events are only seen in the con- cstena.ion of events each unimportant Tn itself, but astounding and glsrm- ing when fully understood in their sg- gregstion.

The archdemoR Geronimo is virtually s captive and the tribes who were responsible for all the late troubles are safe in the hands of the military and will be removed from our territory to a distant place of rendezvous until proper reservation is prepared for their reception.

IT has been asserted upon authority entitled to full credence, that the most subtle and determined opposition to General Miles policy of removing the hostile tribes of Indians, was used in Washington to thwRrt hIs plans, by mill. tRry men who were inspiIed by jealousy of the lsurels that will naturally rest upon our department commander on account of his signal success in ending the Apache troubles. That such malicious intrigues should exist iS hardly matter of surprise to those who know the facts and understand the bitter feeling that the grand success has created on the part of those who failed to conquer the hostile tribes. The facts, however. should be made the subject of careful in- vestigstion, and if the allegations are substsntis;ed a stern measure of pun Ishment should be meted out to the of- lending ones. It is no trivial matter for the lives of hundreds of American citizens to be ieopardized by the schemes of envious men, whether they have won valorors sho ulder strsps or acquired them through the circumstance of sc- cident, and so long as the imputaiion remains unchslleDged the stain will stand out with prominence upon this honorable branch of the public service.
