-"Hiawatha Club is the name given
a new organization which was formally
consumated Sunday afternoon. The
officers elected are reported as follows:
President-Dr. ID. F. McGraw.
ice-President-J. l.. Ritter.
S~ecretary-J. r. Thomas.
Treasurer-M. X. Jones.
Executive Committee-lsidOr Longini,
Harry Shaubut, Carl Dice.
If these gentlemen who have taken it
upon themselves to organize this club,
backed by the officers elect, SO choose,
they can make il of very great social en-
|ioyment and of mutual benenefit to the
members, and this is no doubt their aim
and intention. The names of those who
have taken the initiative is good evil
dence that the club will not be allowed
to settle into that channel which young
organizatlonsNof this nature are often
foundered in, butthat it will be conducted
upon pure business principles, entirely
free from vice or temptations. Rooms
over w. T. Mills butter factory have
been leased-those occupied by DR..
Warner-and they will very soon be
fitted up for the convenience of the club.
No better or more adaptable quarters
could be found in the city.

The silver question is N that will oc'
cupy congressional attention very soon
upon the re-assembling of that body,
and the attitude of the members upon
the further coinage of silver is n OF
considerable interest al this time. The
advocates of silver are very confident
that they have a majority when the
question comes TO a vote, while those Ill
favor of suspension feel quite sure that
they have numerical strength sufficient
to down their opponents. An enumer
alton has been compiled by the Wash,
ington papers, and the result given is
1917 against suspension and 1913 for. The
Minnesota delegation in the House Is
recorded-Nelson and Wakefield against,
Straight and Gilfllan for, suspension.

JUSTICE MILLER, of the L. S. Supreme
court, is reported as giving the.opinion
hat the president has no right to re-
move an official without the advice and
consent Of the senate. He holds that as
the tenure Of office law now stands the
president can only suspend an officer
until the senate has had an opportunity
TO consider the propriety Of the suspen-
sion, and ifthe senate should not con-
sent TO tie suspension Justice Miller
holds that the official wound be restored
10 his former place. The word remove
he saws, does not exist in the statutes,
and the meaning of the term suspend
cannot be misunderstood. James +,
Wilson of Iowa, who is as good a lawyer
az there is in the senate, agrees with
Justice Miller OH this point, and thinks
that any of the United States courts
would construe the statute as he does

ANOTHER FROM MAPLEToN.

Christmas passed pleasantly to all In Maple

Christmas trees while the Congregations and
Baptist trees were very pretty and were well

That circumstances alter cases" is
clearly demonstrated in Mr.. John
Bigelow's resignation of the assistant
treasurership at New York city. That
gentleman and his friends pressed his
claims with persistency until he was
nominated and confirmed, but when he
learned that he would have to give
bonds to the amount OF 100000 and as
sumo the responsibility of accounting
for the acts of his subordinates, his love
of ease and responsibility at once, die
tated resignation, and he resigned. His
course is causing some indignant COM
ment in national Office circles-and
rightfully too. He evidently expected
the government to give him a sinecure,

handed, Mr.. John Bigelow quietly re.

GOOD BY 's5.

The year Is dead, and to-day we turn
from its departing scenes to welcome its
successor, 1885, while looking ahead
with s~uspensive minds all expectant for
the future, and hope renewed bv the
very change.
Eighty-fve will pass into history, as
an eventful year. Not for happenings
radical and striking, but for those
which will give positive trend to the
course of human events, in both II gen.
eral and a local aspect. One of these,
of course, is the transfer of federal pilot
age from the hands of one political par
ty to another. Then there is the North
west troubles, under the unfortunate
Reil, the terrible scourge of small pox
in Canada, the change of premiers in
our mother country, followed by the
most remarkable election ever held in
Great Britain's confines. Within the
have taken shape that will have more or
less influence over the destinies of those
countries. The French have waged a
successful war against the Chinese, as
have the English with the Burmese.
England and Russia have assumed a
peculiar attitude on the Asiatic frontier,
which must sooner or later develop
into something more dihnite but which
is, as yet, extremely uncertain. When
the final consummation occurs, how
ever, the result will be largely expon-
entail of the future of that section OF
the eastern continent. The Soudan war
will always appear in African annals as
an important event of 1885 for it ha;,
perhaps, directed more attention 10
that tropical region than any other
event since Livingstone's exploits orthe
Zulu war. Death has aimed his darts
at an unusually large number of the
noted of earth. Among those who
have been taken We may mention Elk
Vice-president Colfax, Nice-presiden'
Hendricks, King Alamo of Spain, Gen
eral G.. B.. McClelland, Ex-preslden
Grant, Cardinal McCloskey and Victor
Hugo. The commercial world has beer
frought with change both favorable ant
adverse, but it is in a healthy state-a'
good if not better than the year founC
it. The financial realms have held
pretty even tenor throughout the worlC
and now look firm. Crime has bee
rampant, and disaster direful, but no
any more so than is the usual lot o
5 human society.
If the new wear will he as merciful a
, has the old none will complain seriously

\. L. FLEETWOOD, the postmaster a

that he has been foully dealt with a
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was
last heard from. 1t appears that early
in the fall he went to Wisconsin on a
visit and several weeks ago wrote home
from Milwaukee that he would spend a
few days at Chicago and then return
home. Since then he has not been
heard from, and his trunk has been
found at a Milwaukee hotel. 1t is a
mysterious case and will be looked in
to. He was over sixty years old.

of good singers, excellent musicians and
talented specially artists. Their first
part was very pleasing, the songs being
catchy and the jokes new. The second
part composed of the specialties, ran
smoothly and served to keep up the
interest of the audience until the close
of the performance. Laughter was the

and the elder was given a large package,
