scRAMBl1NG FOR spo1Ls.

The great army of voters who for the
first time came upon the political stage
as active participants at the last presi-
Dental election, and for the first time in
their lives witnessed transfer of ad-
ministration from one political party to
another, having through their entire mi
nority glided along under successive re-
publican administrations were, no doubt,
astounded at the scramble for office fol-
lowing the event. Especially, as is al
ways the case, it was very scandalous in
the eyes of the minority. This sensi-
tiveness is patent to no party, but repeti-
tion robs it of its acuteness, and the old
time partisan, who has been through
several such "outs'' and ''ins" conceals
with a more philosophic air the disap-
pointment that turks beneath his waist
coat. In this respect the advent of the
Cleveland administration was in all it's
essentials like that of any of its prede-
cessors, with perhaps the increased pres
sure occasioned by an increased census
of qualified and hope-defered appli-
cants for office. The novice who has
been through with but one success or
defeat. will readily see the point aimed
at by short extract from the impair
tial history of Messrs. Nlcolay and
Hay i'll the Century for March, describ-
ing an early day in the administration of
President Lincoln. As Mr.. Nicolay was
Mr.. Lincolns private secretary he knows
whereof he writes:
The city was full of strangers: the
White House full of applicants from the
north. At any hour of the day one might
see at the outer door and OH the staircase
anteroom and in the broad corridor adioin-
ing the presidents Office there was a rest
less and persistent crOwd-ten. twenty.
sometimes fifty. varying with the day and
hour-each one in pursuit of one Of the
many crumbs of official patronage. They
they scowled at every arrival and blessed
every departures They wrangled with the
door-keeper for right of entrance: they
intrigued with them for surreptitious
chances: they crowded forward to get
even as much as al instant's glance
through the half-opened door into the eX-
ecutive chamber. They besieged the rep
resentatives and senators who had priv
elege of precedence: they glared with envy
and growled with jealousy at every cabi-
nent officer who, by right of usage. pushed
through the throng and walked unQues-
toned through the door"
1t is not necessary to continue the ex-
tract. 1t is graphic picture of twenty
seven years ago, and it is fair to presume
that the average office seeker of to-day
has lost none of the old vitality. Dur
ing the war the ''two ranks" heavy in
fantry tactics of Gen. Scott were super
seded by the "by folrs" of Hardee,
and it is possible by this sort of drill
the files 'at the outer door and on the
staircase" were little more dense in
1885 than in 1861-but it was the same
old fight for spoils.

paying over $5O000,0N a year duty on
sugar just to protect little industry
down in Louisiana that doesn't amount
to only one-half what it did before the
war. The consumption of sugar per
capita of population in the United Stases
is little over fifty pounds. The duty
on sugar-about 2.40 cents-is an unnec-
cessary burden. The Mills tariff bill
does not give the relief required. The
duty ought'to be left off entirely. The
duty on rice ought also to be reduced by
half. It is now IL to 21 cents per
pound.

The appointment of VIM. G. Purcell
to succeed Hon. John E. Garland as
United States district attorney (made on
Monday, is one that will give general
satisfaction-to democrats because Pur-
cell is clean-cut attorney and terri

know democrat has to be appointed
anyhow, and Purcell is good fellow
and loyal Dakotian. By the appoint
ment Of Dakota men to territorial posi-
tons, President Cleveland is strengthen

GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT E. O.
MCCORMICK writes from Chicago that ''it
beats all how popular the Monon route is
becoming for excursions to Florida and
other southern points" The Monon
route is sometimes called the crocodile
route-anyhow, it is the best route south
and the rates-one fare for the round
trip from Chicago-brings it within the
means of the average Dakota man who
wants to take little vacation.

PEOPLE generally have little idea what
an important part women and children
play in the workshops of the United
States. The idea prevails that only in
foreign countries do women and chill
dren work to any great extent, and that
in this country only the male members
of the family are obliged to work. The
statistics show quite the reverse. A few
of the selected industries for example:
The manufacture of boots and shoes en-
ploys altogether ia, 152 hands, and 28,-
COS of these are women and children.
Carpet manufactures employ 20,371
hands, and of these 1O,267, or more than
one-half, are women and children. Cot
ton manufactures employ 1852 opera
tives, and of this number 112, 1874, or more
than one-half are women and children
1928 of children being under Is years
of age. In hosiery and knit goods there
are 28,8S5 hands employed-21, 1868, or
more than two-thirds of them, women
and children. Mixed textiles employ 49,
373 hands ,9O2, or considerably more
than one-half, women and children.
Paper manufacture employs p, ,429 hands
$3.50, or more than one-third, women
and children. Silk manufactures employ
81, 1897 hands - 1882, or two-thirds,
women and children. Woolen manufac-
lures employ S5,6O4 hands-39,546, or
nearly one-half, women and children.
The wool hat industry employs $40
hands-2,228 of them women and chill
dren. Worsted goods employ 18,8O3
hands-12,36S, or two-thirds of them, be-
ing women and children. The footings
of the above figures show that in these
ten selected industries there are 1890
men employed, and 251,646 women and
children. OF course, this ratio does not
exist in all kinds of manufactures, but
even tue average number of hands en-
ployed in all the manufacturing estab-
lishments of the United States, as shown
by the census of 1880, is astounding
showing that of the 2,732,595 employed,
over one-fourth are women and children.

Dodglng the Bullets.

The physical effect produced upon
different men in the presence OF danger
forms an interesting study, but in lnany
cases the outward signs as indicated by
the actions of the individual in no wise
measure the degree of courage or his
fear. The practice, for instance, of
lodging shots, ''jack-knifingn under
fire, proceeds from nervousness which
is often purely physical, and has but
little more significance as test of cour-
age than winking when something is
thrown in ones face. The act is en-
tirely involuntary. A general officer
who was killed Mt the second battle of
Bull Run was one Of the most gallant
soldiers that ever drew blade. Every
body had predicted his early death from
the constant and unnecessary exposure
to which he subjected himself. When
under fire the agile dodging he per-
formed was whole gymnastic exercise
in itself. His head would bob from side
TO side and occasionally bob down to his
horses neck with all the vigor OF sig
nal flag in waving n message. These
actions were entirely beyond his control
and were no indication whatever OF fear.
Dodging TO some extent under heavy
infantry fire is very common. can re-
call only two persons who throughout n
rattling musketry fire always sat in
their saddles without moving muscle
or even winhing an eye. One was u
buglar in the regular cavalry and tho
other was General Grant. Century.

colored with cochineal and placed in
tiny heaps round it when turned out OF
the mold, makes pretty dish.
Dairy farming furnishes n constant
source of income. 1t enriches the land
more rapidly than other branch OF pni-
NAL husbandry. 1t may be carried on
with small capital without danger of
being smothered by larger establish
ments. 1t is profitable on high-priced
lands, where other cattle would not
more than make good rent. In short,
dairy farming, like every other branch
of agriculture, has advantages peculiar
to itself which makes it in many places
and under many circumstances n de-
sirable and remunerative employment.

The Garden of oethsemane.

At the Joining of the trio of paths
described as leading to Bethany, the
garden of Gethsemane is located. 1t is
surrounded by Il stone wall, which Is
divided by shrines facing inside the
garden, all looking strangely new in
comparison with the gnarled old trees
that they surround. After knocking
at the low gate the visitor is questioned
by an old monk and then admitted.
The garden is carefully kept by the
venerable custodian. The whitewashed
fence OF paling and the trim flower
garden afford another strange contrast
with the gnarled and ancient olive
trees. In one corner OF the garden il
well of delicious water. A bucket
with rope running over pulley is
used. Near this well are the humble
quarters OF the monk in charge. A
marble canopy with an iron gate in
closes Canova's bas relief OF 1.-The

one around the circuit of the garden
from shrine to shrine. Parts OF the
walls are covered with pictures repre-
senting scenes which took place during

the walls in proiusion. 1t is lovely

"a new class of swindlcrs have be-
gun operations in Fifth avenue and up

Byrne's detectives this morning while
watching wcll-dressed woman across
the street.
That lady over there is a leading

Because of the danger of detection and
certain knowledge that she'd be sem

says she has lost her pocket-book or

for another victim, after expressing her

never struck twice, and in this way
the swindler escapes positive detection.
A few of the fraternity will tackle
members of their own sex with story
calculated to win dollar or two; but
this is only done when there is scarcity
